a potato-masher. Fry until tough or
thoroughly impregnated with the tish-oil

eggs which remain in the pan to give
them fresh appearance; set in n place

AUTUMN CARE OF PLANTS. is high
time that house plants that have been
kept out of doors during the summer be
protected from the chill evening air.
All tender plants, as begonias, the ten
der cacti, mesembry -anthemums, pepero-
mias, Gala, epiphillum and all those
classes of plants, should not become
chilled at night. Geraniums, ageratums,
lantanus, fuchsias and all that class viii
not iniure short of actual frost, but care
should be taken that no plant intended
for the house should be exposed to
strong Winds When the weather is
clustering, it is better that they be re-
moved indoors, putting them out again
upon the recurrence of fine weather.
| Avoid. above all, to allow them to be
drenched by cold, chilling rains. What
ever the temperature of the room during
the day, it should not fall below 40 de-
grees at night, nor should the night tenn
perature really go much below 60 de-
grees. One of the very worst things for
plants is to allow o direct draft of cold
air to strike them from the outside.
Change the air of the room by allowing
it to enter through another apartment,
Do not water except when the plants
need it. This may soon be estimated
pretty correctly by the size of the pots
and the nature of the plants Porou,
leaved plants require more watel
than firm leaved ones. All the cact
tribe require but little water in winter
The smaller the pot the oftener it viii re
| quire water. It is better that the plant
sometimes show signs of dropping thai
. to keen them drenched If the soil i
kept full of water, the plants are sure :
sicken, for this is one of the reasons tha
water should never be kept in saucer
under the pots, except in minute quar
, tity, and not so deep as TO reach til
earth in the pots. The soil will absor
too much by capillary attraction, and til
very act of this absorption and eyapori
tion will keep the soil cold, and it wi
become ultimately sour. One of th

A PERsIAN's WT.-The cholera, which
has made such havoc during the past
twelve months, both among the Anglo
Indian troops and their opponents, is an
object of superstitious terror throughout
the whole East Many of the wilder
tribes believe it to be malignant spirit
attaching itself to the steps of some man
marked by fate for that purpose, who
carries destruction wherever he goes,
while he himself is unhurt. This
strange fancy-which probably arises
from the fact that the pestilence has
| more than once crossed Western Asia at
a slow and measured rate, as if really
attending the daily march of its supposed
bearer-has naturally proved fatal to
many foreign traveller, in whom popu
lar superstition had seen the bringer of
the curse. On one occasion, however,
the ready wit of Russian explorer turn
ed this peril to an actual safeguard. On
reaching the first village beyond the
Persian border, the inhabitants of which
| we're notorious as brigands, he boldly
avowed himself as bringer of the cholera.

terrified Persians fully believing his as
sertion, tried to avert the threatened
danger by studied courtesy, providing
him with everything he required, and
actually sending several of their number
with him as an escort, whose extrava
CANT stories spread the terror of his name
so effectually that he was treated with
the greatest respect SO long as he remain
: ed in the country Elk.
