ers meet here to-day to consider Il complaint
Of the Chicago II Western Indiana Railroad
Company agafnst the Lake Slore& g. Michigan
Southern Railroad Company for refusing to
allow the Western Indiana to cross lis tracks
at Sixteenth street. It Is understood tho
officers Of the Western Indiana claim that the
Lake Shore Is violattng the Railroad law Of
the Suite III preventing their road from cross
Ing, and that tho Commissioners have the
power To annuf the charter OF the road for
such refusal 10 allow them to cross its
trucks.
1t Ia, however, considered doubtful whether
the Commissioners have tile power 10 act In
this matter, as according to the Revised
Statutes 1t Is declared that the manner Of
such crossing shntl aM determined as pre-
scrlbed by law. Az the Courts l,Nvc not vet
determined how the crossing shall he lnNtlG,
there cnn hardly hu a penalty inflicted. II
the Luke Shore refuses Il, allow tile Western
Inttlann to cross Its trucks nfter the Courts
lave tiGterH1itrtt how such crossing shntI be
made, then It would, no dnubt be tllu ttty Of

IVY IN BoTTLEs.-The true ivy is such a
thing of beauty and such 10y forever"
that even in the British Islands where it
is seen on every hedge bank and on every
exposed wall, it does not tire the eve but
is taken indoors as room decoration.
Much more enjoyable should we find it for
the double reason that it endures the dry
air, the shade, and even the gas and ex-
treme temperatures of our close rooms
better perhaps, than any other plant while
the abundance of the neatly outlined and
intoxicating foliage, and the various pat
terms and shadings offered by its numerous
varieties, make it the winter-counterpart
Of the coleus for variety Of marking, while
it excels in lovely greenery, and green,
after all, is the color most grateful to the
eye in winter, panied with the white glare
OF the universal snow or dulled with the
equally universal understandable of dead
brown. One of the best English authori-
ties gives directions for the culture of iyv
in moss and water, indoors. ANY open
mouth glass jar will answer,-the plants
cannot be taken out of a narrow necked
jar without injury. The jars may be
opaque, the darkening prevents parasitic
growths upon the roots. If this is effected
by removable ornamental paper envelope
tube the appearance and condition of the
roots can be be clearly seen and examined
at any time, and will greatly add to the
interest of the possession.
Cuttings of ivy are preferable to already
rooted plants taken from the SOIL because,
as florists all find out. the roots that are
adapted to feeding in the soil do not take
we'll constant diet of water, and vice
versa. The cuttings should be LONG,
plump-stemmed, hardy-looking with small
numerous leaves, preferably; and full of
aerial rootlets. If such are wanting, others
will serve, or even rooted plants from pots
or the soil, by giving them time to adapt
themselves to the changed conditions. A
little moss is wrapped round the lower
part Of the stem, and if the jar is large Sc
veral such wrapped cuttings can be loosely
tied together to suit the width of the vase
or jar, arranging so that the tops may
drape into good figure. The moss does
not extend to the bottom of the jar by four
TO SIX Inches; water reaches about half
way up the moss, and the roots depend
from it into the water below, the moss
serving to seperate them so that they NAV
not mat inextrcably together when
taken out for cleaning. etc. When the ivy
is we'll rooted the Jars may be filled with
water, and sprigs of flowers NAV also be
inserted. For wreathing pictures small
bottles can be used and suspended behind
the pictures, out of sight if desired. -Trt-
