THE FROST FLOWER OF Russia
A Boston paper describes an. extraordi.
nary " frost flower" of Russia, which has
been produced, it is said, in Boston in a
temperature of artificial cold, in the fol-
lowing words -
This wonderful plant, or rather flower,
is found only on the northern boundaries
of Siberia, where the snow is eternal. 1t
was discovered in 1868 by Count Swinis-
kof, the eminent Russian botanist, who
was enobled by the Car for his discovery
Bursting from the frozen snow on the first
day of the year, it grows to the height Of
three feet and flowers on the third day,
remains in flower for twenty -four hours,
and then dissolves itself into its original
element-stem. leaves, and flowers being
of the fines. snow. The stock is about
one inch in diameter; the leaves, three in
number, in the widest part are an inch
and half in width, and are covered with
infiniiismal cones of snow they grow only
on one side of the stalk, to the north,
curving gracefully in the same direction.
The flower when fully expanded, is in the
shape of perfect star, the petals are
three inches in length, half an inch wide
in the b oadest parts, and tapering sharply
to a point. These are also interlaced one
with another, in beautiful manner, form
ing the most delicate basket of frost-work
that the eye ever beheld for truly this is
frost work the most onderful. The au-
thors are five in number, and on the third
day after the birth of the flowers of the

thereof, glittering like diamonds, the seeds

him, the greatest prize of his lifetime.

WATERFALL.
DEATH -Multitudes of per-
sons have great horror Of going out Of
doors for fear of taking cold. If it is a
little damp, or little windy, or little
cold, they wait, and wait !; meanwhile
weeks and even months pass away, and
they never during that whole time, breathe
single breath of pure air. The result il,
they become so enfeebled that their const-
tutions have no power of resistance the
least thing in the world gives them a cold,
even going from one room to another, and
before they are aware of it, they .have a
cold all the time, and this is nothing more
or less than consumption whereas, if an
opposite practice has been followed Of GO
ing out of doors for an hour or two every
day, regardless of the weather, so it is not
actually falling rain, very different result
would have taken place. The truth is, the
more a person is out of doors, the less
easily does he take cold. 1t is widely
known fact that persons who camp out
every night, or sleep under a tree for
weeks together, seldom take col at all.
The truth is, many Of our ailments, and
those of most fatal form, are taken in
the house, and not out of doors, by remov-
ing parts of the clothing too soon after
q
coming into the house. or lying down on a
bel or sofa when in tired or exhausted
condition from having engaged too vigor-
ously in domestic employments. Many a
pie has cost a vigorous man hundred
dollars. A human life has many time
paid for an apple dumpling. When our
wives get to work they become so interest,"
| ed in it that they find themselves in an ut
terly exhausted condition; their ambition
TO complete thing. to do some work well,
sussains them until its completion, and the
moment it is completed the mental and

when breath of air will give a cold, ia
settle in the joints to wake up next day
with inflammatory rheumatism, or with a

grave in a few weeks.
Our wives should work by the day. il
they must work at all, and not by the job
it is more economical in the end to sec
how little they can do in an hour, instead
of how much. 1t is slow, steady con-
thu us labor which brings health and

THE FORCE COLLECTION - MIR
SPOFFORD'S REPORT. (.

SFOEEOkDS REPORT. .
Mr.. A. r. Spoford, Librarian of Con-
gress, has made a report to the Joint Com
mittee on the Library respecting the mag
nifcent collection of Peter Force, Esq. By
desire of the committee, at the last session,
Mr.. Spofford has carefully examined the
entire list of works belonging to Mr.. Force,
and urges their purchase. Mr.. Force has
been gathering his treasures for the last
forty-five years. 1t is only lately that he
has concluded to part with them, and he
will only dispose of them to be kept to-
gether in some permanent and hreproof
depository. The price asked is 100000,
the sum offered him by the New York
Historical Society, and also by CONNER
cial speculator. In printed books relating
to America, the collection is the largest
ever made by any private individual, and
contains vast number of typographical
rarities. Among these are perfect copy of
Eliots Indian Bible, worth $1,000; forty
one different works of Increase and Cotton
Mather, and a large assortment of early
Puritan books and pamphlets, and speci-
mems to the topography of Franklin, Brad
ford and other pioneer printers. In these
departments, the Congressional Library is
at present very destitute.
Mr.. Forces files Of American newspapers
are very full and complete. They embrace
no less than two hundred and forty-6ve
bound volumes of papers printed previous
TO 1900, while the oldest paper in the Con-
gressional Library is the Boston Centinel
Of 1898 His pamphlets number about
10000, while there are at present in the
National Library less than six thousand.
His collection of maps is also very large,
and in many respects unique. OF volumes
printed previous to 1900 Mr. Force has
one hundred and sixty-one, representing
every year from 1857 upward, and two hun
bred and fifty printed between 1900 and
1900. His autograph treasures embrace
not only the signatures of great historical
interest, but manuscript journals of Wash
ington, Gen. Green, Arthur Lee, Paul
Jones and other revolutionary celebrities
The most important part of the collec-
ton, in Mr.. Spofords opinion, is the manu-
script material made by Mr.. Force, for the
completion Of his American archives They
include original documents and manu-
scripts copied from State records, some of
the originals Of which are no longer in ex-
istence, having been burned.
Mr.. Spoford sums up the case, in conclu-
sion, as follows:
As to the numerical extent of this library
and its commercial value, the whole num-
Der of volumes, by actual enumeration, is
22,529, without reckoning the pamphlets as
volumes. If the pamphlets are counted las
is done in most libraries the number of
volumes rises to about $4,000. There are
not less than $4,000 separate titles in the
collection. Out of these, 1850 volumes
are duplicates, already in the Library of
Congress. Taken as whole, land the Lii
brary will not be divided it is unques-
tionably true that so extensive collection
manuscripts relating to America could not
be assembled at so late period as the pre-
sent, even with unlimited means.
