THE sKY CLEARS Up.
lOl5A M.-The sky has cleared and
the weather is beautiful and sunny, but
not too warm. The grounds are in good
condition in spite Of the hard and long
continued rains, though there is much
mud. The gates opened at little after 8
O'Clock and the crowds have been pour

Plants Growing in Windows.

Thousands who try to grow plants in
pots, tubs or boxes fail, mostly, because
they let the pots be exposed to the hot
sun. Now we never see the roots--that
is, that part which draws nutriment from
the soil-fally exposed to the sun in q
state Of nature, and this should teach win
dow gardeners to shade the pots and boxes
in which their plants grow. Another
cause Of failure is allowing the leaves to
grow rusty. The leaves being in reality
the lungs Of the plant, il is imperative that
they should be kept clean. have often
been asked why plants do not do well in
windows. It is often quite difficult to an
swer without seeing the plants, and the
general failures occur from the cause above
named, for It stands to reason that If half
the roots Of plant are burned of repeat
edly and the leaves are killed with dust,
that sickness win be the result. II is
easy to clean of the dust by taking little
broom or brush and dipping il in water
and flirting il over the leaves Of the plants
two or three times week. Try il, ladies.

Several Causes Of Sickness.


BY eating too much and too fast; by
swallowing impsrfectly masticated food
by taking too much fluid during meals; by
drinking spirits and other Intoxicating
drinks freely; by keeping late hours at
night and sleeping too late in the morn
ing; by wearing clothing too tight, SO as
to relax the circulation; by wearing thin
shoes; by neglecting to take sufficient ex-
ercise to keep the hands and feet warm;
by neglecting to wash the body sufficient
ly to keep the pores Of the skin open; by
exchanging the warm clothes worn in q
warm room during the day, for light cos
tumes and exposure incident to evening
parties; by starving the stomach to crafty
vain aud foolish passion for dress; by
keeping up constant excitement; by fret
ting the mind with borrowed troubles; by
employing quack doctors and quack nos
trums for every imaginary i'll; by taking
meals at irregular intervals.

Mathematical Problem.

The following proposition has been pub
lished as singular mathematical fact..'
Any number of figures you may wish to
multiply by 5 will give the same result il
divided by "a much quicker operation
but you must remember to annex cipher
to the answer, whenever there is no re.
mainder, and when there is n remainder,
whatever it may be, annex Eve to the
answer. Multiply AGA by 5 and the
answer will be 1920; dividing the same
number by 2 you have 232, and as there
is no remainder, you add cipher Now
take 357, and multiply by 5, there is l..
7S5. Divide the same number by 2, and
you have 17s and remainder, you there.
fore place 5 at the end Of the line, and
the result is again l,7s5.
This, at first, may seem "singular
fact" but is really very simple one
when explained. The solution is simply
this By adding cipher to the right Of
any number you increase il ten fold and
by dividing it by two equals the same sum
increased (by multiplication) only FIVE
times. Thus, instead of adding the cipher
to 232, after the division, place it to the
right of aga and you have 4,640--ten
times the volume Of AGA. That sum being
divided by two, gives without any further
addition) 2,320-the half of ten times
AGA, and therefore equal to FIVE times that
amount, or AGA multiplied by fve.]

thodoxy and good sense; but il Is certainly
curious coincidence, If nothing more.
that the trefoil in Arabic is called sham
rahh, and was held sacred in Iran as en-
blenatical Of the Persian Triads. Pliny,
too, in his Natural Histoyy says that SER
pents are never seen upon trefoiI, and Il
prevails against the stings Of snakes and
scorpions. This, considering St. Pasrick's :
connexion with snakes, is really remark.
able, and we may reasonably imagine that,
previous to his arrival, the Irish had as
cribed mystical virtues to the trefoil or
shamrock, and on hearing Of the Trinity
for the first time, they faneied some pecu-
liar fitness in their already sacred plant to
shadow forth the newly revealed and mys-
terious doctrine.
In the Galtee or Gaultio Mountains,
situated between the counties Of Cork and
iipperary, there are seven lakes, in ono Of
Of which, called Lough Dilveen, ii Is said.
Saint Patrick, when banishing the snakes
and toads from ireland, chained monster
serpent, telling him to remain there til
Monday.
The serpent every Monday morning calls
out in Irish. ut is a long Monday, Pat

That st. Patrick chained the serpent in
iough Dilveen, and that the serpent calls
out to him every Monday morning, is
