CONSERVATORY ON A HOTEL RooF.-That
excellent plan which we have so often advo-
Gated, of turning the tops of houses in cities
into gardens, has been carried out by the
Palmer House in Chicago, and a portion of
the roof of that hotel is now covered with a
magnificent conservatory. The structure
is entirely of glass and iron; and as it is
built on an extension, its location is such
that it opens directly out Of the fifth floor
corridor of the main edifice, which rises
some two stories above. A fine collection
Of tropical and rare plants has been provid-
ed, and the regular heating apparatus of
the house supplies ample warmth. The
conservatory is open to guests of the hotel,
and furnishes a delightful resort.-Scientyfc

COFFEE FOR POOR 10!

1t is reported that Horace. Greedy advised
the Government, as a matter Of economy,
to bring all the Indians to New York and
board them at the Fifth Avenue or some
other first-class hotel. He was not far from
right in this suggestion in view of the ex-
travagance Of the Department having the
redskins in charge, and as a sample of how
things go, we noticed that, in a late adver-
tisement by the Government for Indian sup
plies, there is an item of four hundred and
~forty-ive thousand pounds of coffee, which
will cost about an eighth of a million OF dol
lars, all for the purpose of furnishing poor
10 a cup of coffee before starting out in the
morning to take the scalp of some poor pio-
nee's family, We hope those who are re-
siding on the borders, within the sound OF
an occasional i" war whoop," and who are
too poor to obtain anything superior to bar
ley coffee, with a little chicory added, will
bear in mind how much better it is to be an
Indian with Uncle Samuel for a father, who
will, no doubt, soon add champagne to the
rations of Poor Mr.. Lo.-Rural NesD Yorker!

The first of the drink-registering appa-
ratuses, which a new law says must be used
in all Virginia barrooms, has been put in
operation in Richmond. 1t is a wooden box,
about a cubic foot in size. On one side is a
crank, and on another dials like those OF q
gas meter. The barkeeper turns the crank
once round at every sale of a drink, a bell
strikes, and the dial registers one. The OBJ
ject OF the device is to determine the amount
OF tax to be collected, at the rate of one
cent on every drink. Although a heavy
fine may be imposed for neglect to use these
machines properly, or tor tampering with
them in any way-and these are officers
whose duty it is to detect such offences-the
belief is that they will not answer the pur-
pose, because drinkers will generally con-
niye at violations of the law.

THE PREVAILING DISEASES.

Measles, whooping-cough. and text
books are the prevailing diseases, this
winter. From Galen down physicians
have been wrestling with the first
two; legislators have been endeavor-
ing TO overcome the evils connected
with the third. Minnesota, less edu-
Gated than Wisconsin, has been over
come by the disease; we in this State,
have escaped thus far; but as it is
very easy for people to degenerate,
we have no assurance that we will not
soon follow in the footsteps of our
neighbor on the West. We are, al
ready, notified by the Madison pub
fishers, that the fight, decided against
them by a vote of IS to 81, will be re-
newed next winter; this being the
case, it behoOves us, as intelligent
citizens, to consider this question of
textbooks in all its bearings, investi-
gate carefully the evils and their eaus-
es, and then find and apply the prop
er remedy.
First, then, the evils arising from
frequent changes of textbooks, and
their causes. In this western country
stability is the exception rather than
the rule; removals are frequent, in
spite of Poor Richards trite saying,
Three removes are as bad as fire.
This being the case, people find, upon
leaving one school district and enter.
ing another, that the school books in
possession of their children, are good
for naught; new books must be pur'
chased and, as books are expensive
and children numerous, considerable
outlay of money-generally a scarce
article with people who move fire.

had a uniformity of textbook;

purchase of new books, might be

That Pierce county will do as well for
