Effects of Thaws and FrOsts upon
Plants.

Some observations were made at Geissen
last winter by Herr Hoffman which throw
light on the way in which plants are injured
in time of hard frost. Ii is well known that
plants and trees situated in the bottom of a
valley suffer much more from cold and frost
than those in a higher situation. This is due
to the fact that the valley, if surrounded by
hills and high grounds, not only retains its
own cold of radiation but also serves a. u
| reservoir for the cold heavy air which pours
down into it from the neghboring heights
II is thus that the higher grounds in Switzer-
land are warmer than the valleys or gorges,
as in these the cold collects as in SO many
basins II is also found in this country that
plants and shrubs which survive the severity
of winter on ground raised above the level
| of the valley perish when grown in the val
ley itself. The great advantage of billy
position is thus apparent, and has been amply
proved by Herr Hofimans observations at
Geissen. Here he found that the plants so
situated took little or no harm from the in
tense cold while quite near, in the valley,
there extensive injury. The injury
too, decreased in proportion to elevation
above the valley.
As to the immediate effect of temperature
upon plants, the author is of opinion that il
is not particular degree of cold that kills
plant, but the amount of quick thawing.
This was illustrated in one case by the cur
ious fact that one and the same bush-species
of box-was killed in its foliage on the south
side, while on the north the foliage remained
green. The sudden change of temperature
produced by quick thawing was considered
to be some degrees less for plants in a high
| situation and for the shady sides of the half
killed shrubs. The higher situations are In
this respect also favorable to plant life be-
cause. while the frost IL not so severe as in
the valley, the effect of thawing winds is
found to be the same for both. The plants
on the higher ground are therefore subjected
to less strain by sudden variations from =
| low to high temperature, and the reverse,
| than their congeners in the valley.
| These facts are of importance in determin-
| ing questions as to the sites Of country houses
and gardens, and the more or less hardy
character of the plants and shrubs most like
ly, in the particular situation, to survive the
| frosts of winter.

There are for many reasons, few diseases
more to be dreaded than Erysipelas, and il
has. not inaptly, been termed ''St. Anthony s
Fire" There is no disease which so COM
pletely disforms and disfigures the visage of
a patient; and it may fairly be compared to
a red mask thrown by a mocking demon over
the human face. 1t is almost as dangerous
as it is repulsive. Arising from variety of
causes, rnnning its course with paint often
ends suddenly in death. The old treatment
consisted of blood-letting and the use OF
strong drastic purgatives. The substance of
the enlightened modern treatment is all con-
tanned in DIR. kennedy's "Favorite Remedy. "
Use this, and you have taken the essential
total of all the best physicians in the land
could prescribe for Erysipelas. A case in

Something I'm the Bed.

Judge Piiman has a habit of slipping his
watch under his pillow when he goes to bed.
One night somehow it slipped down, and as
the Judge was restless it worked its way down
toward the foot OF the bed. After q bit,
while he was living awake, his foot touched
it il felt very cold he was surprised, scared
and ium ing from the bed, he said;
"By gracious, Maria there's a toad or
something under the covers; ] touched it
with my foot
Mrs. Pitman gave loud scream and was
on the floor in an instant.
"Now don't go to hollering and waken up
the neighbors.' said the Judge. "Y0u get
me broom or something and well fix the
thing mighty quick"
Mrs Pitman got the broom and gave it to
the Judge with the remark that she felt as If
snakes were creeping up and down her legs
and back.
"Oh. nonsense, Maria, Now turn down
the covers slowly while / hold the broom and
bang it, Put bucket of water alongside the
bed so that we can shove it in and drown it."
Mrs. Pitman fixed the bucket and gently
removed the covers. The Judge held the
broom uplifted, and as the black ribbon Of
the silver watch was revealed, he cracked
away at it three or four times with the broom,
then he pushed the thing of into the bucket.
Then they took the light to investigate the
matter When the Judge saw it he said:
II might have known. it Is just like you
women, 10 20 screeching and fussing about
nothing. It's utterly ruined"
'.It was you that made the fuss, not me,
said Mrs. Pitman.
'sYou needn't try to put the blame on me. /"
Then the Judge turned in and growled at
Maria until he fell asleep.
