/ Beautiful Basket. Plant,

The finest hanging baskets VIC heys
ever seen have been of single plan0o9
tho lvy-lcavcd Geranium. The richness
and elegance of the foliage md the droop-
Ing or trailing habit OF this plant are
qualifications it possesses, rendering it
emincntly scrviceablc for baskets and
vases. Ono plant is enough for basket,
but, except In rare cases, 1t will require
more time than is afforded the first season
to show in its best condition. The plant
Is easily kept over winter, and the second
season, if attention is given by the use
OF manurc-water TO sustain It, the growth
will be exubcrant. There orc now so
many varieties of this plant that one has
the opportunity to indulge his taste in
selection; there arc golden ycllow-lcaved
ones, bronze. green with white margin,
and one, L'Elcganto, that has its green
leaves margincd with white that is tinged
and strcakcd with pink. The colors OF
the flowers are different with each w.
ricty; there arc scarlet, and crimson, and
rose, and pink. and white; again there
arc single and double flowers.
One of the best varieties for hanging
basket, on account of its fine foliage and
free growth, is the doublc-flowercd soft,
KGnig Albert, having mauvc, or purplish
lilac-colorcd flowers. The double flowers
last much longer than the single ones,
and this adds much to tho value OF the
plant. For large baskets, where the best
effect is desired In short time, several

An Irreverent Witness,

A MINNESOTA correspondent sends
the following to Ha,per's Druwcr:
We have had for many years in this
county, as Clerk of the District Court,
an intelligent and careful German, who,
during the sessions Of tho Court is very
fastidious about violations of decorum.
Recently in an important trial some
what bumptious" young man from
the rural districts was called as wit
ness, and took his place on tho stand
without removing his hat. He was told to
hold up his hand, which he did, and the
Clerk proceeded to administer the cus-
tomary oath, reading it from tho statute.
He had read about half way through,
when, happening to glance over his
spectacles, he noticed that the witness
had not removed his hat. The Clerk
slowly lowering the book, and gazing
intently at the young man, said, "Look
here, sir, when You swear before mo
and Colt, take off your hat, sir!"

too late. With tho rusty old pistol,

Whoever was in the carriage must

the people of Red Ravine, for that

A Night Among Other Worlds.

Whoever reads good old Thomas Dick 9
description of his astronomical 6bscrva-
tory on the top Of his house In Scotland,
commanding a view Of forty miles Of hill
and valley scenery along the Tay, must
feel q desire to follow the author in his
studies of the stars. And, indeed, the
amount of instruction and amusement o
small astronomical telescope Is capable
of affording cannot be appreciated by tho
man who never owned ono. Some Of the
most famous telescopes In existence arc
owned by English amateurs, and most
charming descriptive books Oh astronomy
have been written by Englishmcn who do
not pretend to be professional astrono-
mcrs. In this country we not only have
purer skies than those of England, and o
more favorable situation In latitude, but
some of our opticians have astonished the
scientific men of Europe by their achieve
ments in telescope making. Yet the
number of Americans who own and use
telescopes, outside of the obscrvatories.
is comparatively small.
Among the first objects that the anna
tcur who has become the possessor of an
astronomical telescope turns to are the
planets, the carth's brother and sister
worlds. Although it is beyond cxpecta-
ton that any telescope will ever be con-
structed powerful enough to shav us the
possise inhabitants of any Of the planets,
yet everyincreasc of telescope power re-
vcals new features. and such discovery
as that of the existence Of continents,
oceans and snow fields in Mars-the cor
rectness Of which may bic tested by any
one who has good telescope Of three or
four inches aperture-is enough to stir
the imagination Of the most Indifferent.
The first of the planets that the young
telescopist tries, and. with the possible
exception Of Venus, the best known Of
them is Jupiter, the giant Of the family.
To the unassisted eye this planet, which
Is l 800 times as bulky as the earth, ap.
pears as Q very bright star Of slightly
yellowish hue, and Of pretty steady
