Some Odd Expressions.

From Chambers Journal.
Take, for example, the following
genuine notice on an Irish church door:
''This is to give notice that no person
s be buried in this church-yard but
those living in the parish. Those who
wish to be buried are desired to apply
to me, Ephriam Grub, parish clerk"
Here is another kindred specimen:
"Notice.-The churchwarden will hold
their quarterly meetings once in six
weeks, instead of half yearly, as former
w." In the April of 1906, the follow
ing bill was stuck up: .sThis house to
be let for ever. or longer if required -
Such a house would quite match the
gown mentioned by Miss Egeworrh,
(which would wear forever, and might
be converted into a petticoat after
ward" Another peculiar garment is
described in n of Lady Morgan's
cashier novels as being composed of ''an
apparent tissue of woven air.

The Care of Plants in Winter,

NJ
When a plant is in a bad condition it
is a mistake to apply a stimulating fer
t~ilizers. % THE causes of ill health are
many, but the most general one with
those who have had no experience in
the care of plants is overwhelming.
Plants, to live, must nave water, there
fore the more water the better seems TO
be the reasonidn; and the conse-
quence is starved, nearly leafiess sticks
in pots of mud. In the majority of
cases withholding the water is one of
the things needed, and with invalids a
stimulating fertilizer is the one thing of
all others needed. When plants are in
a hourishing condition and making
growth, then fertilizers may be useful,
especially if the soil in the pots was
originally rather poor. Any of the fer
tilizers used in the garden would answer
for plants in the house, were it not un-
necessary to avoid unpleasant odors
and to consult neatness and ease of APP
p~lication. For hard.wooded, slow
growing plants very fine-four of bone
sold by seedsmen for the purpose, is
perhaps, the best, n few tablespoonfuls
being forked into the soil of the pot.
For soft-wooded, qulck-growers a liquid
fertilizer may be used. This may be
guano, a teaspoonful to a gallon of
water; SCOT, two tablespoonful to Il
gallon or the water of ammonia fliuuid

The Man of Purpose and the Man of
None.


The Man of Purpose and the Man of
None.
The careers of two men in one of our
Connecticut cities, writes a Hartford
correspondent, afford subject for
Thought, whatever the moral deduced.
Not twenty years ago, one of the most
promising clergymen in Connecticut
was Rev. Mr.. Settled in a beauti-
full city, with a parish hat adored him,
young, handsome and talented, he east
ly married into one of the oldest and
wealthiest families Of the town, and all
seemed bright before him. To-day l
hear of him as staggering through the
streets of a rural town, a helpless in
valid wife and a half starved family.
The wheel has turned very fast with
him, for while his progress was upward
for awhile, SO far as promotion to larger
and larger cities is concerned, yet his
degradation has of late years been no
less rapid. Not that he is altogether
to blame for the mischances that have
pcldltll uins iOl tuciS udNO pCCh oouiC
domestic misfortunes, and there were
some unfortunate influences in some of
the churches over which he has min
istered that did not help him. Yet a
stronger man would have overcome
these, and the fact remains true that
to-day a brilliant writer and able clergy
man has gone all to wreck for lack of
moral principle.
To the same city, some thirty years
ago, came a young physician, who ac-
~cidentally stumbled upon the town,
dined there, liked the looks of things
and stuck up his shingle without a
single acquaintance save a druggist,
who told him he was "a fool to settle
there
1--WE shall see,n was the reponse.
The first Sunday of his stay he at
tended church, andlon his return said
to his landlady:
81 saw my wife at church to-day"

you to be q b%achelor7n

lady that L shall marry" ~

An ExPEEIlIEST VTTTH EUsr.

The ROseburg Tlldepesadeut reports
an experiment with rusted grain last
season by l. K. Hedgpath, who, in
stead Of doing as many would have
done, cut the grain just before the
stalks had ripened-in fact, were vet
green-and loosely piled it up. The
wheat thus rusted aad cut ripened in
the pile, and when it was examined the
heads were found filled with the plump
est Of grain, and the wheat threshed
therefrom Of superior quality. The
wheat was cut when the grains were
@stif dough" and it Is established by
the experiment that the sap from the
stock continued to pass into the heads
until they were filed, and the sun
ripened the grain long after it was cut.
Thi- corresponds with discovery we
have made this year. A week ago Mr..
R. A. Irvine brought into our Office
several specimens Of rusted wheat
which he had just cut, and while it has
been lying on our table for the past few
days it has materially headed-at least
portions of it-and some of it is now
quite full. This IS an experiment that
our farmers might at least look into for
future guidance under Ike calamities
