vtOlets In Winter.

Perhaps some Of our lady readers
may be interested in knowing how
to raise in winter those sweet scent.
ed flowers, violets The following
plan is recommended with conf.
dencc First take few old boards
and construct bottomless box,
about three or four feet in length,
and two feet square, sinking it in
the earth nearly its full depth, on
the sunny side Of the garden. The
top of the box should be sIanting,
and covered with glass door or lid
and hinges. After having the box
we'll fixed, plant five or six good
violet stalks, and the bed is com.
plete. But to run the same success
fully great care is necessary. Dur
ing the day, in warm and pleasant
weather, the glass lid should be
opened, but always closed at night,
When cold weather sets in, the
plants should be well covered with
dry leaves, and when wanted to
bloom the covering removed, On
very cold nights the bnx should be
covered with three or four pieces of
carpet, as also on very cola days,
The plan has been known to work,
and violcts on Christmas and New
Years made quite plentiful.

French Cures In ~ hoId Fever.

DR.. Hampton, Of Paris, has pub.
liished pamphlet in which he
describes several remarkable cures,
chiefly attributable to the free ad-
mission of air to the patients bed
room, in cases of typhoid fever. He
considers a typhus fever TO be a kind
Of paralysis or asphyxia of all the
vital functions, occasioned by the
respiration of u deadly atmosphere,
emanating either from q typhoid
patient, or from any other morbid
source, and he practically demon
strates not only the great benefits
TO be derived from the effects of
open air in the treatment of typhus
fever, but he declares the absolute
immunity from contagion or infec
ton IN the open air. According::to
DR.. Hampton, the patient cannot be
exposed to any danger, under any
circumstances of complication, from
other diseases or from the Temporal
turc of the atmosphere for, if the
patient is kept warm in bed by arti
fetal means, the free breathing of
pure fresh air will at all times keep
up the natural animal heat. In
typhus fever, complications of all
kinds, of the lungs or any other
organ, only render the free access
Of pure fresh air more urgent and
more necessary it also enables the
patient to take stimulants more
easily when they are necessary.

5000 to ST. 800 each. They are all

of general adoption. The seed is
sown about Christmas, and by the

and produce successional crops Of
fruit with great profession until past
Christmas. In this manner early
and late tomatoes are obtained from
the same plants. AS matter OF
course the plants can hardly be kept
too moist, aud u good dressing of
crushed bones is occasionally given.
The border in which the tomatoes
are planted is only about fifteen
inches in width. The plants must
be well fed, bat The wonderful crops
they bear is the best testimony to
tho advantage Of u liberal treat
ment. The weight of fruit obtained
from one plant in season is re.
markable, and many of them attain
a great size.

mode of dress in olden times, when men
wore homemade cloth both summer and
winter, In summer they wore what was
called tow-cloth, made from flax raised
on the farm, and in winter what they
called frocking, made of wool, blue and
white striped The women, too, wore
cloth of their own making. They carded
and spun the wool and flax / have now

A writer says: "All names were origi
nally significant, and were always be-
slowed by the ancients with regard to
their well-understood meaning. Some
times they were commemorative OF some
incident or circumstance connected with
the birth Of the individual bearing them
as, Thomas, twin; Maius, May tapplied
To one born In that month";; Septimus,
the seventh, etc. In other cases they
were expressive Of the aspirations, de-
sires or hopes of the parents; as, Victor,
ore VINO conquers; Felix, happy; Bene-
dict. blessed. Not unfrequently they
were descriptive of sonalgualities; as,
Macras, tall; Pyrrhus, rudy; Rufus,

now as they were in the days OF Plato,
and as important, but are freqently igno-
