House Plants.

In relation to the cultivation of plants
in the house, Vick's Floral Guide cor.
rectly says: "Most of our plants are in
jured 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 would
usually not range much above sixty five
it would be the better. In the night
time fifty is enough. Give little fresh
air every fine day and all the sunlight at
tainable. An effort should be made to
give moisture to the atmosphere, for our
own good as well as the health of the
plants. This can be done in various
ways by evaporating water; but when the
plants are in separate apartment, like
little greenhouse, it can be done more
conveniently and effectually, although
this separate apartment be only bay
window, with glass doors separating it
from the living room. In this place
water can be used freely, by Swinging,
ETC., and moist atmosphere preserved
The temperature, with this arrangement,
can be kept lower than would be COM
Portable in the living room, and the
plants would be saved from dust and
many evils which we manage to endure
and live, but which generally prove too
much for the plants.
"The plants suitable for winter-hower-
ing in the house are numerous, but none
afford so much pleasure, we think, as a

''Base is the Slave that Pays"

AsMoDEUs was making some revela-
tions the other day about prominent men
in New York who never pay their debts,
and I confess that he astonished me-
Having an intimate acquaintance with
literary and professional people general
ly, he drove deep into the heart of the
mystery, and the result was that it was
infinitely more interesting than the
perusal of Glow to Live on 81 900 a
Year" or any of those nice, tight, little
brochures ofimpracticabl economy. From
his revelations it appears that there is a
certain literary man in our town who is
notorious for never paying any bills but
those which he is positively compelled to
in order to subsist. This gentleman is
received with distinguished courtesy
certain that an instant after he has
grasped some great digniJary by the
hand he may hesitate to meet the eye of
his grocer. He never flinches in his
course, however; he simply will not and
does not pay. A jewelry house had a
bill of thirty dollars against him for
years; no collector could obtain the sum,
ana the firm disliked to institute lega
proceedings for so trivial an amount. Al
last, however, the debtor sent in valu-
able clock to be repaired, and this the
firm promptly seizes upon for liquida-
ton of the debt, and retained. An even
more fragrant case is that of distin.
guished professional man belonging to
one of the best families of the State.
He lives in handsome house, fairly en-
numbered with works of art and objects
of 0ertu, but he lives religously up to
Pistols maxim: "Base is the slave that
pays" He is aided and abetted by a
smiling housekeeper, who, seeming a
and with the blandest possible grace
answers all inquiries, to the utter defeat
of the questioner. He may pay many
visits to that brown-stone front, but that
little bill is bound to go unsatisfied. This

TESS. The dealer, impressed by the ele-
gance and taste of the mansion and the
name and position of it's owner, cries
that it does not matter; he will call
again. He calls many times again, but
if he ever obtains payment he is note
worthy exception. And yet my inform
ant assures Zee that the man who per-
petrates all this wrong is singularly
kind-hearted, and is surrounded by de.

Faith deals in person rather than
in system of philosophy. 1t stands for
life inspired by a person, and not for a
life welded to certain forms of Christian
thought, and hence devotion to form
of theology or of ecclesiasticism, or to
an organization, can never form part of
that faith which leads man along toward
salvation. To suppose that a Christian
must believe just such statement of
ideas, Protestant or Catholic, or Calvin
ian or Armenian, was the fatal error of
the past and is the decaying error of the
present. The assemblages of preposi-
ton and interference are breaking up to
make room for the parsonage so great
in Bethlehem and so divine still.-Pr0f.
iSsoing.
The woman question promises to be
entirely overhauled in Boston over the
question of teaching Greek in the girls
high school and admitting girls to the
Latin school. The girls high school is
already teaching Latin to $50 girls, and
only needs Greek to be able to fit girls
for Boston University, the only collegiate
institution in the vicinity which admits
girls. The Latin school fits boys for
Harvard, but lacks several English
branches necessary to fit them for Boston
University. The rivalries of old and
young universities apparently enter into
the affair. Nevertheless, the last Har-
ward examinations for women are deemed
to have been very successful, and to have
had results no different than if the exam
inees had been boys.
Mrs. Gen. Sherman has published an
appeal for contributions to the Catholic
Indian mission fund, which is in charge
of volunteer bureau of ecclesiastics and
laymen at Washington. The Catholics
complain that under the plan of divid.
ing the agencies among different relig-
ious denominations, their church has
been unjustly deprived of more than
thirty agencies to which it had estab-
lished a prescriptive right, and that the
priests have been driven by force from
missions which they had maintained for
many years. To defend the Catholic
missions the bureau of which we speak
was organized in 1878, and its head, or
commissioner, is recognized by the gov
eminent as the representative of the
Catholic church in all matters affecting
the Indians.
Samuel Isaac Joseph Schenchawsky,
ID. D., was recently consecrated Mission
airy Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
Church of Shanghai, with jurisdiction
over the entire Chinese Empire. The
ceremony took place at Grace Chruch,
and was participated in by seventeen

good collection of bulbs, such as hya-
clnths, narcissus, the early tulips, and
| other bulbs which we will not occupy space
enough to mention here. In the garden
there are usually few plants that may be
taken up and potted. The ivy, Madeira
vine and cobGa scandens are graceful
climbers, and will bear almost any
amount of bad treatment. Tuberoses
that have not bloomed in the garden and
are showing flower stems may be taken
up and potted, and will flower in early
winter. A root of the dicentra will give
satisfaction. The ten-weeks' stock is
also a fine winter bloomer, and can be
treated in the same manner. A pot of
mlgnonette costs but a few cents, and
not many expensive plants will afford as
much pleasure. Sow the seeds in Sep
TENDER or October. 1t is well to prepare
two or three pots. The sweet alyssum
will also please, and nothing will make up
better in button hole bouquets than these
sweet little flowers. The browallia is
also an excellent winter flower A few
larger plants are desirable, and the Gala,
drac@na and begonia are very patient
under any kind of treatment. We have
not, however, space to enlarge on this
subject, but will merely say that few
lilies like longiiorum, auratum and
lancifolium, though not often seen in the
house, will afford pleasant surprise,
and flower in the order named"

THE new styles of Cabinet or Parlor Organs
recently introduced by the Mason & Hamlin
Organ Co. are said to be the finest instruments
of this class which the world has produced,
both in their musical capacity and elegance of
case. One style of organ with nine stops,
which sells for cash at from STA to S140 ac--
cording TO elegance of case, is especially de-
sirable. Such is the demand for it that thev
are scarcely able to supply it, though they have
more than cue thousand organs of this single
style under Nay, and turn out more than one
