A POINT IN THEoLoGY.-A story is
told of New England city clergyman,
who, one Monday last summey, visited
the market early in the morning. While
there his attention was called to some
very fine Strawberries. He wished yerv
much to purchase some, but it being so
very early in the morning it occurred to
him that they must have been picked on
Sunday, and of course he could not pur-
chase or use anything which had been
procured under such circumstances. He
inquired of the farmer, 'Mr. Smith. were
these berries picked on Sunday?" Mr..
Smith with sly twinkle in his eye, re-
piled, "No, Doctor, they were picked
this morning, but they grew on Sunday,

COOP FOR THE SKIN.-A fashionable
young lady in Connecticut, had heard
that the French ladies deem it better for
the complexion to wipe the face with a
WOODEN cloth than to wash it in water.
Starting late for an evening meeting. in
her hurry, she briskly rubbed her fair
visage with the flaps of coat HANGING
IN the hall. Its owner unfortunately
had worn it that day while clearing out
a stove, and she swept bewitchingly in
to church her face black as ebony.

WINDOW PLANTS. Window pIants
should not be kept very warm at this
season. They should have all the sun
and air, and as little of the artificial
heat OF the room as possible. These re.
marks apply especially to Mignonette,
which Is very impatient of indoor CON
finement. Succulents, such as Cacti.
are excellent window plants in this re-
spect, as the dry air does not affect them
10 keep the air about the plants moist,
is one of the secrets of window culture.
Some who have very fine windows well
stocked with fine plants, make glazed
cases with folding doors of them, by
which when the room is highly heated
and very dry, they can be enclosed in
an atmosphere of their own. In such
cases, ferns and MOSES can be grown to
perfection, and pendant plants in hang.

pearance to our happy Christmas homes.

ScRAPING AND WASHING TREEs-We
consider early winter the best time fol-
scraping and washing the trunks of trees,
1t is well known to all observing fruit
growers that the bark of trees is the
winter quarters of myriads of insects,
where they securely remain until the en-
suing spring, when the warm genial
weather invites them to quit their cosy
homes and begin their destructive work
for the season, We have found narrow
saw, rather finely toothed, to be an ex-
cellent tool in rasping off the superfuous
bark. 1t accomplishes it more uniformly
than a hoe, trowel or other scraper; a
trowel, or a short-handled hoe, however,
is very good when the other cannot be
possessed. After the bark is removed,
the trunks should be washed thoroughly
with preparation Of whale oil soap and
water, say in proportion of pound of
the soap to four gallons of water. 1t can
be applied to large trees with hickory
broom or stiff whitewash brush, and to
small trees, especially dwarfs, with the
