Sending Plants to Sleep With Ether.

Several members of the Partisan Bioss
logical Society have recently been en-
gagged in series of experiments which
seem to prove that every thing endowed
with life, whether animal, plant or fer
ment, is susceptible of being brought
under the influence of anasthet:cs; in
other words, may be sent to sleep. 1t
has been proved that the influence of
anesthetics extends to all the animal
tissues, and last of all to the central
nervous system. Hence, it was argued,
plants having tissues must also be sub
jeet to the influence of other, etc. Ex-
periments have proved this to be the
ease. termination is arrested by anas-
thetics. The water-cress, for example,
gerininates within so hours Ether
arrest. termination in this plant, but
does not destroy that faculty. 1t merely
sends the plant to sleep, for termination
recommences as soon as the use of ether
is suspended. This capability of being
sent to sleep is not confined to plants;
it extends to ferments. Thus the
ferment of beer, what submitted for "a
hours TO the influence of ether, becomes

4 Notifying Mistake.

A well.known young lady Of this city
recently made herself the victim Of . H.
diculous mistake. A handsome and
wealthy gentleman, whose acquaintance
she had just formed, invited her to attend
q dress party in his company. She &C.
cepted, and arrayed herself for the event
with unusual care. To her surprise and
modification he appeared, to escort her
to the party, attired in white linen coat.
She invited him to be seated and then
begged to be excused for few moments.
To her mother she stated the fact that she
would be ashamed to go with him il he
wore "that coat" 1t was finally decided
that she should ask the gentleman to pass
the evening at the house. Ashamed, but
determined, she told him that she did not
believe that any Of the gentlemen would
wear linen coats at the party; that they
had better not go; delightful evening
could be passed at home, etc. The gen.
tleman took the matter good-naturedly
and remarked, "Why. this is only my
duster." He revealed beneath it gar
ment of shining broadcloth. The lady
recovered from her modification sufh-
ciently to attend the party. but she feels
ashamed of her stupidity to this day.
Her companion was the best dressed man
there.-Hilsoaukss WiscOnsin.

When the lamps were lit in the evening, and
the shutters were fastened hght,
And the room where the household gathered
was cosy and warm and bright,
When the hustle of work was over, and the
children were tired of piay,3l
1t seemed to us that our bedtime was the
pleasantest part OF the day
FIR grandmother had her knitting; click,
claek would the needles, go;
The bahy was snug in the cradle, and mother

And elm our little night gowns, would

And sheltered within his loving arms we're as
happy as we could be. 1'-@- - -
He could not sing; but he whistled tune
that was sure to Keep
The little ones very quiet, and put the BABY
to sleep;
And wheneysrI want lullaby, the sweetest
e'er shall know
Is the one that my father always used In the
beautiful long .ago.lf4 TE9
Sometimes there were apples roasted; and
then there were nuts TO crack;
And Jokes togbe told, and stories that had a
delicious smack
And the longer we fingered, the harder we
found it to get away ssTsg
For to us the chlldren's bedtlme seemeu Gho

But at last the word was spoken, "Come

In her uuietest tones" it is really time that
little folks went to bed Z" ik
And We. who were wide-awake as owls, and
ready for any lark.
With moulnful step moved slowly out and
into the joyless dark.
And after we were folded in slumber's
serene embrace,
And with the angels of dreamland were
floating through fairy space,
Dear father would come to our bedside. and
tuck us in oh, SO tight;
We'd sleep as warm as birds in nest all
through the livelong night.
And when my bedtime cometh, and the last
