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 room where the
thermometer would usually not range
much above sixty-five it would be the
better. In the night time fifty is high
enough. Give little fresh air every
fine day, and all the sunlight attainable.
Cleanliness is as necessary to plants as
to other bodies, therefore secure them
from dust, if possible. Sweeping carpets
is almost enough to kill both plants and
sweepers. 1t will be 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 a
cloud of dust every time step is taken.
Until this good time comes, give the
whole plant good Swinging occasional
ly, or bath in pail of water. A little
moisture in the air of room is pleasant
and healthy. We would not say that a
greenhouse or mushroom house would
be good place to live in, but we do say
that q room that will keep few plants
in good health, other things being favora-
BILE, will keep a family in the same de-
sirable condition. The family can breathe
the confined, dusty, dry, over-heated air
of a room and live, because they are out
in the air good portion of the time, but
those who are confined to the air of our
living rooms the greatest number OF
hours are the most delicate, and the
plapts having to remain in those over
heated, ill-ventilated and dusty rooms,
without moments relief, must droop and
die. Cleanliness, fresh air, moderate
heat and moist atmosphere will secure
healthy plants.

Some of the New York furnishing
companies keep score of artists in their
employ who design the interior OF rich
houses, so that wall hangings, curtains
and carpets belong to each other and are
made for each other The fittings OF
the parlor of wealthy Philadelphia
banker are all in Egyptian style. The
pale tapestry carpets, the upholstery OF
the antique couches, woven for the
suite, and the hapgings which represent
desert scenes, are tapestry fine as mellow
painting at distance enough to lose sight
of the stitches. This compound of light
green and sand yellow tapestry, ebony
and ivory sphinx heads, collins and
claws, cost $780, 00-money enough,
common folks would think, to spend on
one suite of parlors. A California mill
ionaire las ordered from house par
lor suite that cost $3.50, 900 in gold, all de-
signed and made in New York. The
amount looks very large for these hard
times, but it is not business men or those
in active business who do these things.
It is those who have accumulated great
fortunes in stock, gold, oil, or In some
other way, and who have hauled out OF
the current with more money than they

blood Diseases.

The blood being the source from which our
systems are built up and from which we de-
rive our mental as well as our physical capa-
bilities, how important that 1t should be kept
pure! IL 1t contains vile, fostering poisons
all organic functions are weakened thereby.
Settling upon important organs, as the lungs,
liver or kidneys, the effect is most disastrous.
Hence 1t behooves everyone to keep their
blood In perfectly healthy condition, and
more especially does this apply at this partic-
ular season Of the year than at any other. No
matter what the exciting cause may be, the
real cause of large proportion OF all dis
eases is bad blood. Now DR.. Pierce does not
wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in
the catalogue of quack patent nossrums by
recommending 1t to cure every disease, nor
does he so recommend it; on the contrary
there are hundreds of diseases that he ac-
knowledges 1t will not cure; but what he does
claim Is this: That there is but one form OF
blood disease that 1t will not cure, and that
disease is cancer. He does not recommend
his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows
1t to be the most searching blood-cleanser yet
discovered, and that it win free the blood and
system OF all other known blood poisons, be
they animal, vegetable or mineral. The
Golden Discovery is warranted by him to cure
the worst forms OF Skin Diseases, as all forms
of Blotches, Pimples and Eruptions, also all
Granular Swellings and the worst form OF
duo OlCCtdbtu SOIcs Vi -NtSh, Legs
or other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases OF
the Bones, as White Swellings, Fever Sores,
Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all of which
belong TO Scrofulous diseases.
