HORSE RADIsH.-There Is only one VARIETY
of this root in cultivation, known botanicaIy n,
Ndsturtium Arploracid. The root requires
careful culture, and very richly -maDured so
for success, both as to quantity and quality.-
Roots OF the second seasons growth lose lh.ir
strength or pungent favor to great extent, and
1t is only those OF the first years planting that
cd ofplanting is to dig up the old roots with as
many ofthe Iootleis attached as possible These
rootets are cut into lengths of four inches, aud
those ofa quarter OF an inch in diameter or np
wards are selected for planting. The cuttings
must be carefully planted, the upper end upper
most, else the roots grow misshapen, ia well
prepared soil, being dropped into holes made
with dibble, and covered with two or three
inches OF soil above their crowns The earth il
then pressed closely around the set. The
crowns of the old roots should not be planted
as they VIII not produce shapely roots.

How A HOME WAS MADE.-1here is an
interesting story connected with the origin of
one benevolent institution in New York city
'Ihe Strangers Rest.
Many years ago, friendless lad went TO the
city OF Philadelphia TO obtain employment
DE sought work and found none. Homeless
and moneyless, without recommendations
and nnacquainted with city ways, he was DOOM
ca To That bitter disappointment which come To
30 many who, 10 better their condition in the
mazes OF great city.
he slept wherever he could find a sembIance
OF shelter, and lived on the scantiest food. In
the midst of his wretchedness a resolution was
formed that ifever he were possessed of means
enough, he would build a resting place for
those who were as poor and friendless as he was
then.
Time passed on; the boy became a man, he
was sue cessfnl In business, ana he did not for
get, bis youthful purpose. The result was the es
Enlistment few years ago Of The Strang err.
Rest in Pearl Street, New York.
In this retreat those whu find themselves sud
denly without employment and destitute O
msney, will receive a welcome and their imme
mediate wants be relieved. Two substantial
meals are furnished each day, warm bathrooms
are at the service OF the applicants, and clean
comfortable beds are supplied. Washing i
done gratuitously twice a week, and all the ar
engagements encourage personal neatness and {
sense of seif-respect. In the "Rest" there Is
warm and cheerful sitting room, where are con
venieDces for writing, books, and newspapers
After an early breakfast, those who desire u
find employment examine the advertisement
in the morning papers, and hasten to max
early application. Such Is the work of
single man for the homeless in New Yor
City.
