Care Of House Plants in Cold Weather.

HOUSE plants require vast amount Of
care every day and from week to week.
They need especially TO be guarded
against exposure to sudden changes of
temperature. Where number of pots
with flowers are placed near window,
during cold or cloudy day, unless the
temperature Of the apartment is properly
maintained the flowers will be seriously
injured by the cold. In cold dav, unless
the sun shines brightly on the flowers, or
at night, unless the batten shutters of the
window are closed, no colder place can
be found in the apartment than close to q
large window. Many florists seem to for
get their flowers during cold nights, leav-
ing them near the window, where they
are liable to become severely chilled. The
best place for flowers during a cold day
or night is on a high table near the mid
die OF large room. The higher the
table the better for the flowers, For this
purpose a large table on castors should
be provided, So that a portion OF all the
pots can readily be rolled TO the middle
of the apartment. All plants are invigor.
ated and rendered n ore luxuriant by ex-
posure to the full influences of the noon
day sun. Yet, on cloudy and windy days,
1t will be quite as well to keep them near
the center of the room, away from a cold
window. If any one doubts that foot or
two from window is the coldest place
in the room, let him place a thermometer
few inches from the glass for half an
hour and then transfer it to the middle of
the room, and he will perceive that the
instrument will indicate marked varia-
tion OF temperature. Plants in pots are
frequently placed outside of window
during cold yet sunshiny day. But
such exposure Injuries the stems and
leaves far more than we arc wont to sup
pose.-N. Y. Herald.

Designing and Constructing Horse
Stables.

EVERY structure which is designed and
erected for only one or for many horses.
should be constructed with reference to
convenience, to comfort and durability.
The width of the stable in which there is
to be a row of stalls, should never be less
than twice the length of the horse, which
is from fourteen 20 sixteen feet. There
should be ample room behind those
horses that are standing in the stalls to
harness a span Of horses as they stand
side by side. in stormy weather 1t is de-
siTable to harness and unharness in the
stable; and such narrow, contracted
stables as are often made, where one
horse can scarcely pass behind another,
are unfit to lie called stables. The door
should be of sufficient width-not less
than six feet six inches wide-to allow a
span Of horses to 60 in and out without
crOwding. The height should never be
less than seven or eight feet. When a
horse throws up his head the beams and
joists should be entirely beyond his reach.
There should always be feeding room
in front of the stalls. When the building
is wide enough for two rows of stalls, the
feeding room should be between them.
Many stables have no feeding,room and
one is always Obliged to 60 to the managers
when feeding the horses in the stalls,
which is decidedly Objectionable. Stables
should be warm in winter and cool in
summer. To secure this important desid-
eratum, it is always desirable to have the
stable in the basement of the barn when
II is practicable. Where the ground de-
scends but little, by making a suitable
abutment for entering the barn it win cost
but small amount to carry up the abut.
ment sufficient for IL high basement
Many farmes prefer stables in the car
Tlage-house or barn, without any base
ment; but wherever they may be they
should be made warm and tight, espec-
tally in our cold climate where we are ex-
posed to such severe changes in the
weather. from heat to cold. Whether
stables are built of wood or other mater.
ials, they should be so tight that horse
will not feel current of cold air in any
part of the building. Stables, as a general
thing, are quite too small for convenience
and comfort. The tyro need entertain no
fears Of getting his stables too large, pro

existence sadly interferes with careful
and methodical selection of occupations
for the children.
But after all the world does not lose 80
much as some would make II appear be-
cause of the failure Of the large majority
of people TO exercise care in the selection
of employment for youth. Fortunately,
the great mass of mankind are not
specialists" but are plain, practical peo-
pie, ready to turn their hands or brains
TO whatever occupation they may be put
With most boys the most patient, careful
watchfulness would not reveal TO unpre.
judiced eyes the existence of any special
tact or calling. 1t Is absurd TO say that
boy who is always whiting sticks will
make a carpenter and nothing else, or
that the youngstcr who spends most of
his spare time dabbling with boats of his
own construction in ponds or puncheons
of water Is a natuTal-born sailor; for If
the sports of boyhood be taken as cri-
terion of q boys aptitudes, the world
should be filed with carpenters, hack
drivers soldiers and sailors, to the exclu.
sion of many useful and essential voca.
tions. There are, 1t is true, some in.
stances when the predominant character.
istics of the boy stand out in such bold
relief that there can be no mistaking
them; and In these cases parents are
guilty of grevious wrong toward the
boy If they force him into a sphere which
is repugnant to him. The number of
times in which this is done, however, is
not so great as is generally supposed. As
a rule, q father is compelled to de-
eide what the boy shall do, because the
boy either will not or cannot do so for
himself; and II, unhappily, the light of a
genius is from this cause obscured for n
season, 1t will only be TO eventually burst
forth, for If there is genius 1t will assert
itself, and often the restraint TO which it
has been subjected and the obstacles
which it has encountered have been the
means of giving it greater development.
The experience of the world teaches that
men who have any special aptitudes al
ways find an opportunity for the exercise
of their gins, Notwithstanding the most
favorable circumstances, and that those
who by Fictitious aids have been forced
into positions which they cannot fill, in
time sink to their proper level. There
are always changes going on in the
world. Energy, capacity, faithfulness
and determination must, in the nature of
things, go to the front in every calling,
and their opposites of Incidence, inca.
pacity, carelessness and vacillation must
lag far in the rear. The average boy has
no reason to complain of his treatment If
he is given fair education, and not tied
TO an employment which is irksome TO
him, but given work for which he has at
least no dislike. His future, then, is in
his own hands, and il is for himself to
say what II shall be.-Detroit Free Pres.

The Boy Question.

THE usual number of suggestions to
parents as to what shall be done with the
boys is just now being made, and these
suggestions are about as practical and
valuable as the average. Much is said
concerning the great mistakes which
fathers make in forcing their sons into
occupations for which they have no spe-
cial aptitude, by which fOurth.class law
yers are often made out of the material
which would be excellent for carpenters,
and young men driven through college
who would be worth far more to the
world if permitted TO follow the bent of
their own inclinations. There is no
doubt of the sound sense in the recon-
mendation that parents should watch
carefully for any indication of special
capacity in the growing boy, and should
endeayor to so start him on his course at
the beginning of his real lifewOrk that
he could prosecute that work diligently
and faithfully to the end, with no Tepin.

ment but with contentment springing
from surroundings in which he took de-
light. 1t is also equally true that this
recommendation is rarely needed, and
that parents who are animated by an ear.
nest desire to give their children suitable
employment often fail to do so in
spite of their best efforts. 1t Is not
difficult to understand why this is
SO. Many parents who are wealthy,
and many whose worldly circumstances
are only moderate, or even less, but who
have a high opinion of themselves and
their kindred, have imbibed the notion
that manual labor is beneath the dignity
of their children, and the children grow
up with the same idea implanted in them.
In these families the boys must all be
professional and business men-clergy-
men, lawyers, physicians, bankers and
the like-and an intimation that some of
them would make incidentally better

One Of the greatest faults in construct
ing stables Is want of light. Dark stables,
with the exception of the little light that
peeps In at the cracks, are almost univer-
sal and 1t Is most fruitful source of
ophthalmy. Horses need light as well as
people; and we cannot expect that horse
will have perfect vision il he is kept most
of the time in dark stable. The idea
that dark stables are advantageous by way
of inducing restive horses TO be more
quiet, or by inducing bad feeders to eat,
savors too much of humbuggery and
superstition. There should always be a
goodly number of windows in stable
some behind, some before and some at the
sides Of the horse. The sash of every
window should be closely fitted in the
frames and be made to slide up and down
or to slide right and left, or be hung on
hinges, so that they may be readily open.
ed in warm weather or closed when Ii is
cold. Dark windows, with a latten door
or shutter, are exceedingly Objectionable,
because when there is any air in motion
they produce perceptible current in the
stable If they are open, and if closed they
give no light. Let man be placed in a
dark room, with little or no light, for q
| few weeks in succession, and wait the re-
| suit. Light is as essential TO the sound.
ness of the eye and to perfect vision as
pure air is essential to health of the body.
Why do we always close our eyes when
in bed in dark room, although we may
not be asleep? Because 1t pains them to
keep them open when no light enters
them, and 1t is probable that this constant
pain would soon produce weakness and
Inflammation. If stables are already built
and desirable number of windows was
not introduced when the building was
! erected it will not be a difficult and ex.
pmsivc job to cav through the siding and
studs or to make apertures through brick
or stone walls and insert window frames.
When horses stand facing the outer wall
we have frequently seen round holes saw
ed through the siding in front of each
horse, so that the animals could thrust
their noses into the openings and breathe
the pure air. Light will also enter such
| apertures.-N Y. Herald.

Hanted to BE Heard From.

II anybody has ever used the thorough and
scientific course OF treatment recommended
by the proprietor of DR.. Sage's Catarrh Rem
edy for the cure of Catarrh, and has not been
perfectly cured, the proprietor, DIR. X. V.
Pierce, would like to hear from that person,
and by addressing him at the Worlds Dis
pensary, Buffalo, N. T., such person, II there
be one, will hear of something to his or her
advantage, as the Doctor is in earnest when he
offers $500 reward for case OF Catarrh which
he cannot cure, and Is perfectly able TO pay IL
II he fails in single case as any one may as
certain upon inquiry. The thorough course
OF treatment referred to and recommended by
DIR. Pierce consists in the use of DR.. Sage's
Catarrh Remedy with DR.. Plerce's Nasal
Douche, which Is the only means by which the
fluid can be carried high up and applied to all
paris OF the nasal passages, and the chambers
connected Herewith, in which ulcers exist,
and from which the discharge proceeds In
addition to this thorough application OF the
Remedy. which should always be used warm,
Dr. Plorce's Golden Medical Discovery should
be taken earnestly as constitutional treatment,
without which few cases can be cured, as the
disease Is always constitutional, and must be
treated accordingly. This treatment has no
unpleasant features about 1t, and has the ad-
vantage of never driving the disease TO the
lungs, as there is danger of doing by the use
OF strong, irritating snuffs or poisonous
eOlutions
