CAT-TAILs FOR WALL DECoRATtoN.-
Cut the very talest of them. leaves and
all, the longer the better. Hang them up,
heads downward in a dark place for a
few days, or lay them out carefully on the
floor of an unused room. When the long,
spear-shaped leaves are sufficiently dried
not to curl any more, tack them up in
| clusters against the wall. For instance,
mass them in corner with big pot of
ferns growing below, and perhaps "hor-
rid" red Chinese fan, umbrella, or bracket
above; or put them over the mantel or
mirror or between two long pictures,
with bracket or fan below to hide where
the stems "stop off" You will find that
light colored walls are far more effective
as background for decorations, than all
the erich dark papers" that were ever
invented.

The PRIVATE DETECTIvE.-It is very
well known that the "private detective
finds playing the spy his most profitable
occupation. Many man has been known
mean enough to employ those creatures to
dog the steps of his wife or to keep watch
on his house, while some women degrade
themselves by hiring them to follow their
husbands. The detectives do business as
spies on their own account as well, and, if
they can manage to make any discovery
by which the reputation or domestic peace
of man or woman of means might be
affected, they blackmai their victim under
Il threat of exposure. Two years ago a
respectable young man was assistant cash
Ter in a city bank. He had Il little money
of his own, and foolishly frequented a
gambling house. A private detective dis.
covered this fact and demanded money of
him AS the price of keeping the secret.
The young man, who had never then mis-
appropriated dollar. yielded. lie aban.
doned play but the demands of the detec-
tive grew so exorbitNnt that his victim
was at last driven to take money from the
bank to meet them. The defalcation was
discovered. and, although it was concealed
for the sake of his family, the young man
went abroad and died soon after the ex
| posure.

THE REASON WHY-The reason why
one farm is desirable to the farmers wife
and another is not does not lie in the fact
that one has good black soil, twelve
inches deep and the other stiff clay,
yellow and poor. But one has neat
farm house, convenient out buildings,
dry cellar, a good cistern, Il pump in the
we'll, and a yard and garden fenced with
neat paling: a barnyard into which
she can find easy ingress or egress, and "a
tenant house where the hired man lives
and boards himself.
This is why she likes the one, and the
reason why she dislikes the other is, be-
cause the house is inconvenient, the out
buildings are minus, the wood pile is at the
back door, the dooryard is full of chips,
huge logs, old rails or any other old trash
that the farmer thinks will do to burn, the
cellar is green mud hole, for want

Among the most satisfactory and easily
cultivated of house plants are the zonale
geraniums. Some of the new dwarf va
rieties are especially adapted to window
culture, being compact and small in
growth and free boomers; some of the
semi-doubes also blossom well, but the
double geraniums are more suitable for
outdoor and green house culture. The
foliage varieties are beautiful, and do well
in window which has only little sun
light. They should have rich culture,
and never be allowed to bloom. Gera-
NUNS to flower well, must have plenty of
sunshine; it is also of the first importance
to select such as are free boomers.
