Hints About House-Plants.

The best temperature for house plants
is from forty-eight degrees at night to
seventy degrees during the: day. Give
air on every warm, sunny day. If your
plants should at any time get nipped with
frost, shower them with very cold water,
and keep them in the shade for day or
two. Furnace heat is the worst for plants,
and that from wood-stove the best.
Keep the air nloist-a pan of water kept
on the stove, or damp towel hung On
the register will do this Water thorough
ly, but not too often. Shower all smooth
leaved plants frequently. Wash the
leaves of English ivy with clean cold
water and spo"ge--nothing else. Use
water of the same temperature as the
room. The oleander, Gala and hydrangea
may have water standing in the saucers
under the pots Vines should be watered
more frequently than other plants. T.
A few drops of ammonia added to a
pail Of water, and applied once a week,
will prevent the earth in the pots from
getting sour. In giving liquid manure,
a heaping tablespoonful stirred into q
water-pailful of water is enough. To
kill the green fly or plant-louse. smoke
the plaats with TOBACCO. Very weak
lime-water will kill worms in the pots:
Red spiders may be gotten rid of by ire
quently wetting the f liage and keeping
the atmosphere moist. A pinch of flour
of sulphur, sprinkled now and then on
the leaves. will keep off mildew. If the
scaly- bug attacks your callas, oleanders,
and the stems of your rose bushes, exer-
else your patience by picking the insects
off, and wash the affected parts .afterwsrd
with weak soapsuds. The rmealy bug,
which looks like little more than a bit of
dirt, must, like the scaly- bug, be removed
by hand picking y ~ r Round. sr51g

Plant Fruit.

Don't fail to prepare for planting or.
chards early the coming spring. The
farmer who has generous supply of good
apples in the cellar in winter, is to be
congratulated. They make good pies,
good dumplings, and are good stewed,
baked or raw. They are healthy food
for children and old folks, too. The
acid Of ripe fruit is said to be an antidote
for worms in children, and that children
with plenty of apples to eat are
never troubled with them. Baked apples
and bread and milk furnish repast
good enough tor anybody. There arc
some persons that like milk but it does
not digest we'll. 1t forms curd in their
stomachs. If, however, they will use
baked or stewed apples with their milF,
they will experience no such trouble, as
we have learned by experience The
juice of the fruit, and the fruit itself,
prevent the formation Of the curd, and
the food taken is easily digcstiblc,
healthful and nutritious. Nearly all
kinds of food are digcsted easier if fruit
is INDUCED in at meals. The cheapnessf
healthfulness aud nutritious quality
fruit should recommend its careful cul
ture by every farmer.-Colma,a's Rurn

Hens.

An important consideration in the care
of hens is wel]-kept nest. Frequently
it happens that a poultry yard is despoiled
by disease among the feathered tribe,
which runs throug h all without ef1ectual
remedy, and the poulterer sees treasure
after treasure disappear without, in the
least, being able to check the ravagcs of
the dis+emper. In almost every case this
condition may be attributed to INSULT
cient care of nests and roosts, if the
roosts are in the hen house. A Plentiful
supply Of whitewash in the poultry yard
is one of the best remedies as ainst dis
ease. The nests should be we'll white
washed inside and out once or twice a
month, and the old nest replaced by fresh
ones. Attention to this rule, sufficien-
cy of clean water, and if it is desired that
hens produce great quantities of eggs,
pieces of fat fed to them q couple of
times week will show evidence of pros
perity in the hen kingdom that can't tail
to be satisfactory to the owner.

Pitting in Small Poz.-Mr. Gregory,
of Merchants college, Blackpool, Eng
land, believes that "pitting," the sad and
permanent results of smallpox, ought
rarely to be seen in any civilized COM
munity. He stsrts with these facts: that
poor people are pitted the least, rich
people are pittcd the most, and no class
of people are pitted under their dress
Poor people have less light in their
homes, the rich plenty of light, and I'M
der the dress there is less light than in
either case. The explanation is scien-
tific one. The sunlight consists of three
primary colors. The red, the blue and
the yellow rays, have distinct and char
acteristic properties. The yellow gives
us light and red gives US heat, and the
blue actinism. It is the actinic influence
of the blue rays which, in Mr.. Gregory's
theory, causing "pitting." No seed will
germlnate and the young plants will
soon perish if the chemically active rays
that is, the actinic rays-are filtered
from tie sunlight. A yellow blind
drawn over a window will bsorb all
the actinic rays. The pus of variolar
pustules absorbs, by its yellow medium,
the actinic rays. which results in corro-
sion of the tender flesh at the base, and
thus leaves the dreaded permanent "pit-

The history of the measure coptradicts this
assumption: A majority of the House of
Representatives in the last Congress was in
favor OF the sixth section to this BILL: It was
known that majority of the Senate was op-
posed to it, and that as separate measure it
could not be adopted. It was attached to the
army appropriation bill to compel the Senate
to assent to it, 1t was plainly announced to
the Senate tue army bin would not be allowed
to pass unless the proposed amendments to
the election laws were adopted with it, The
Senate refused to assent to the bill on account
Of this irrelevant section. Congress thereupon
adjourned without passing the appropriation
bill for the army, and the present extra SEES
sion OF the Forty-sixth Congress became nee
essary to furnish the means to carry on the
government The ground upon which the
action of the House Of Representatives is de-
Tended has been, distinctly stated by many of
its advocates. A week before the close Of the
last session of Congress the doctrine in
question was stated BY one of it's ablest de-
