Hanging Baskets.

Baskets of living piauts may easily be
had in perfection; select such kinds as viii
stand in rooms. As regards the baskets
themselves like to see the wire work
painted dark green. Some paint It with
bright colop, which qnite spoils the effect
Of the flowers, which should be gay enough
as regards colors, without any addition in
the way of paint Inside the wire work
put thick layer Of green moss, 50 as TO
prevent the soil from dropping through;
over this put some broken crooks and then
fill up with whatever compost is best suited
to the requirements Of the plants with
which the baskets. arc to be filed. For
summer decoration there are numberless
plants that can be grown in baskets; but,
for winter blooming nothing is better, or
looks more snowy, than Rollisson's unique
geranium, or scarlet tropehlum, both Of
which will continue in flower all through
the winter, and Drop down gracefully all
around the basket A basket, indeed
never looks well unless ii is furnished with
some dropping plant round the edge, as,
for instance, with the ysriegate iyy-leayed
pelagonium, called Le,sgate, while in the
centre should be nicely grown plant Of
fuchsia. Pretty baskets may also be made
Of silver variegated geranium, Lady Ply
mouth and uright blue lobelia, or Of blue
convolvulus, with Christine geranium in
the centre; in fact, any flower that suits,
and if put in with good taste, will look
well. For large baskets, suited for lobbies,
mixed foliage plants, such as variegated
sedums, echeverias, iresines and centaureas
have an effective appearance. A window
box made Of wood and lined with zinc,
suspended by four cords or wires, up which
can be trained creepers, also makes pretty
room ornament The great point as re-
CARDS keeping plants in baskets or boxes
fresh and in good health is to give plenty
Of water during the growing season, but
more sparingly in winter, and to keep the
leaves clean. If baskets are hung high
there should be some means of lowering
them, as it is troublesome getting up to
them every morning with steps. If the
baskets are small the best way is to carry
them away and water them outside; but
in the case of large baskets this can not
be done, so teatray or something of the
kind should be placed under them to catch
the drip.-Me London Garden.

A REMARKABLE CAsE.-A remarkable
death scene occurred few days ago in
Brooklyn, N. Y. Prof F. w. Walker
had for two years been afflicted with mus
cular contraction Of the face and eyes.
His physicians prescribed extract Of hem
lock-a subtitle, deadly poison --cautioning
him in regard to the quantity to be used
and the symptoms that would be developed.
Having taken the dose he requested his
wife to sit by his bedside and note the
symptoms. The first dose not giving re-
lief, he twice repeated it, his wife all the
time recording the symptoms as he des-
eribed them, until noticing an unusual
pallor on his couutenance she started for
glass Of water. When she returned be
was breathing heavily, and before ply
sician arrived the man was dead. The
case affords curious example of devotion
TO science, and the record taken from the
lips Of the dying man viii furnish an in
terestiDg chapter on the effects Of poison.
