The CRANBERY AS A HOUSE PLAN
The common cranberry is mos
attractive plant when properly cult
waited in pots, and can endure a good
deal of neglect which would be fata
to other plants. A compost of muck
and sand is the proper material for
putting it in Although usually re-
garded as aquatic in its nature, it will
not do to have the soil saturated with
water. What it requires IS that water
be within reach of its roots, aud that
the soil shall be one through which
water can lise readily by capillary al
traction. Let the pot stand in about
an inch of water and it will thrive
better than at any greater depth. The
cranberry roots readily from cottings,
or it can be propagated by bending
down the sprays and covering them
with the moist compost. 1t is beauti-
FIJI at all times Of the year, and espec-
tally 80 after the fruit commences to
ripen. Its red berries will remain on
the vine for g long time and are high
lv ornamental.

TO the nearest deacon's house to tell

to visit the doctor and rcprimand him

people that We don't keep a fiddle in

the instrument squcaked inlong drawn

went away with the feeling that while
it was a henious sin to own "A fiddle

A Mothers Influence.

1t is hard ior young mother who
has not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies Of her own youthful nature
to realize the influence she exerts over
her little ones. She IS continually
surrounded by critical imitators, who
copy both her morals and her man
ners. AS the mother is, 10 are her
sons and daughters. If u family Of
children are blessed with an intelligent
mother, who is dainty and refined in
her manners, and does not consider it
necessary to be ono woman in the
parlor and an entirely different person
in her every day lie, but who is a
true mother, and always tender,
charming woman, you will invariably
see her habit of speech aud her pleas
ant manner repeated in her children.
Great, rough men. and noisy, active
boys will always tone down their vol
ces, and strive to step quietly, and
to be more manherly, when she stops
to give them kind word or pleas
ant smile, tor true mother will never
fail to say and do all the kind and
pleasant things she can that will in
any way help to lift up and cheer
those whose lives are shaded with toll
and care. The mother Of today rules
the world Of tomorrow. Think Of it
when you are tempted to be trettul
and impatient and guard well your
home treasures.

This was her first breakfast with us,
and the closing declaration, given
above, was something OF poser to
my lord,
Finding that reply was evidently
required by Aunt Jemima, he asked,
as ! sat in malicious silence, enjoying
his perplexity.
OF what are you afraid, Aunt Je-
nina?

ma, emphatically. 'Why, bless your

Aunt Jemima, delightedly.

Accordingly, the rattle was bought
that morning, and Aunt Jemima took
immediate possession of it, with a
vast accession OF comfort of mind.
In the daytime she was scrupulous-

slor,' as she said, there's no knowing
when the warmlnts will be poppin in

AT night she was careful to keep it
at hand, under her pillow.
