Temperature for Plants.

Most of our plants are injured by too
much heat. For general collection of
houSe-plantS it is not best to allow the
thermometer to be above seventy, and if
they could be kept in a room where the
thermometer does not usually range much
above Go it would be the better. In the
night time 80 is high enough. Give a
little fresh air every fine day, and all the
sunlight attainable. Cleanliness is lust as
necessary 10 plants as TO other bodies /:
therefore secure them from dust, if posi-
bic. Sweeping carpets is enough to kill
both plants and sweepers. II will be a
happy day for our lungs, as well as for
the lungs of plants, when we get good
substitute for carpets, something that will
not raise cloud of dust every time step
is taken. Until this good time comes,
give the whole plant good Swinging oc-
casionally, or bath in pail Of water. A

say that a room that will keep g few plants

A Heroic Brakeman.

George b. Granger, brakeman on the
Boston and Lowell Railroad. has earned a
fame which will live for generations. He
was on duty on the inward Montreal FN-
press, and when between Wilmington and
Woburn the coupling gave way between
two OF the cars on the fOl ward part of the
train. and the engine and two or three of
the cars which were held to it being thus
relieved of the weight of the ha!S-dozen
cars behind Immediately ran away from
them. When the detachment took place
the train was running az the rate of 35
miles per hour. AZ This moment Granger
was sitting at tie window of the last ear
IN the ilrst nart of the train, and seeing the
Deil-rOpo quickly draw, observed the break
IN Second and Immediately jumped 10
act!Gn. He knew that if the bell-rOpe
sounded the engineers bell, the engineer
would stop he train and then the rear part
thereof would crash against the front. so
ne rapidly pulled the rope toward him
from the rear and speedily detached it.
lie then ran through the train, clambered
over the engines tender, in order to cause
the engineer to accelerate his speed so as
TO keep out of the way of the rear part.
Realizing, moreover. that the first impulse
OF the engtneer, who stood with one hand
on the lever, would be to stop the train,
he stepped up to him with forced calmness,
put one hand on his shoulder and the 9th
Ger on the hand that held the lever and said,
Don't stop" Having put the engineer
on his guard he pointed out the danger.
Passengers who were anXiously watching
say the engineer, when the danger became
apparent to him, turned pale but remained
cool and at once put on all possible speed
10 keep out of the way of the detached
part of the train, which was laundering
along behind. This done, the engineer
blew his signal to put on brakes, hoping
the brakeman or some one else on the rear
OF the train would hear and act upon the
signal; but no one did, and the race was
thus kept up for couple of miles, with
imminent risk of a collision, and no one in
the rear part of the train conscious of dam
ger. Fortunately, the up-train for Law
renee came along at this critical juncture,
and the engineer sounded his whistle, and
by this means aroused the brakeman on
the detached portion of the train, w o
soon averted further danger by applying
his brakes. But for the GOODNESS and
prompt action of Granger terrible acct
dent was inevitable.

CHAMBER OF THE CITY COURT OF BROOK

ton : am directed by Chief Judge Nelson
to return your letter, as it cannot be re-
ceived in court; also to state that in civil
cases the counsel have the right IT, refrain
from calling a particular witness, however
competent, and that neither the counsel
nor the client can interfere with that
right, The Judge also instructs me to
say that the question whether YOU could
be a witness stands on quite another
ground from that considered when your
husband was called and sworn. He was
Il competent witness to testify in his be-
half against a third person. the defendant,
and while the policy of the claim was TO
some extent unsolved, there was no eX-

of May 10, 1867, expressly declares the
wife to be incompetent as witness for or
against the husband. Yours. respect
