Watering Plants in Pots.

Some people attempt to keep pot
plants without giving them any water
at all; the result is familiar to every one.
Usually, however, the earth in the pot
or box is kept soaked and very much in
the condition of an ord nary swamp. 1t
is even said that malaria has resulted
from living in rooms containing house
plants owing to the damp soil. We have
ourselves seen dead eyergreens pulled
out of boxes full of mud. Neuste
Erfnd1Hg gives Utterance to the follow
ing timely remarks:
Watering plants is one of the most
important things in the culture of house
plants, and special care should be de-
voted to it. Plants ought not to be
wet until they need it. It will be evil
dent that they require wetting, if on
taking the earth from the pot it
crumbles to pieces like dust; a sure
SIGN is to knock on the side of the pot,
near the middle, with the finger
knuckle If it gives forth a hollow ring,
the plant needs water; if there is dull
sound, there is still moisture enough to
sustain the plant. Plants must not be
wet more than once or twice a day; on
dry, clear days they require more wa
ter than on damp, cloudy days On the
other hand the earth must not be al
lowed to dry out entirely, for that is
also very injurious. In wetting them
the water must be poured on in such a
way that il will run out again through
the hoe in the bottom of the pot If
the earth gets too dry. it is best to place
the pot in water SO that the water viii
saturate the dirt very gradually. They
may be watered at any hour Of the day
except when the sun is shining on
the pot or has just left it; for the earth
gets hot when the sun shines on it, and
then if the cold water is poured on
it, it viii cool off too rapidly. The best
time for watering flowers in summer IS
the evening, and in winter noon is the
best. Well water should neUer be used.

Locating a Fault in an Ocean Cable.

The work of locating break or flaw
in the cable-a process seemingly so alb
struse-is, with the present improved
instruments, comparatively quick and
easy. describing technicalities, we may
say briefly that the whole electric po-
tency of the cable when fully charged
is known, and the same can be quickly
ascertained of the two parts created by
a break. A delicate machine adjusted
to the incest fractions discloses the cleo
trio units or ''ohms'' in each part, and
as the number of ohns to the mile is
known, the miles and fractions of miles
in both parts can be found out at each
end of the cable. In the case of a clean
break the locating of it takes abouttifteen
minutes. But a very angular break, or
flaw, makes peTturbations. OF the
measurement which it now and then
takes some hours to rectify. The usual
cause of breaks or flaws is attritiOn on
rocks or sand; and sometimes a break
in very deep water indicates that sea
currents of considerable force prevail
there, contrary to the generally ac-
eepted theory that deep-sea waters are
always placid. Most of the fractures,
however, take place in shadows, and
many of them are due to the dragging
anchors of the fisher craft. In two or
three instances the cables have evident
" been snapped by enraged or hungry
fish.-C0r. n. I. ECel3tng Post.

ONE of the old veterans of Wall street was
the other day giving some fatherly advice to
one Of his sons about to be married, and in
closing his sermon ne said: directly after
the ceremony there will be a banquet, Of

she will find a check for $50, 900 under it. ="

the prevailing style nowadays. The check

money on it'll" "Oh, no, you wOn't.' "Wby

The Wells in Sahara.

French enterprise is steadily perse-
vering in the work of redeeming the
Desert of Sahara by means of artesian
wells. A large number of wells have
been sunk along the northern border,
more than $50 in the province of Con-
stantine alone, and the work is advanc-
ing into the interior. One of the Curl
Gus phenomena which the digging of
these wells has brought TO notice is the
existence OF fish and crabs at great
depths The learned engineer, nj. jus,
who for twenty years has directed the
work, AYERS that he once boiled and ate
a crab which had been drawn up from
a depth of $50 feet, and that more
over, it was of an excellent flavor.

entire Western and Southern country to bear
him testimony to the truth Of the assertion
that In no case whatever will it fail to cure If
the directions are strictly followed and carried
out. In great many cases a Jingle dose has
been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with per-
feet restoration Of the general health. 1t In,
however, prudent, and in every case more cer-
tain TO cure, il it's use is continued in smaller
doses for a week or two after the disease has
been checked, more especially On difficult and
long-standing cases. Usually this medicine
will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
good order. Should the patient, however, re-
quire q eathartic medicine, after having taken

Avenue Property.

A writer in the New York Sun notes the
circumstance that property on the eastern end
of Pennsylvania avenue is rising in value,
owing to what no considers the prospect
of democratic success in 1854. The
writer apparently belongs to that SAN
guine class who inconsiderately jump from
admitted facts TO wished-for conclusions with
out " glance back of the facts themselves.
That property on the eastern end of the avenue
is held at bettor prices than it used to bcis quito
true; but property in all parts of Washington
is more valuable than at any time in the past
for the very good reasons that the city Is
growing fast, and that a large proportion of
the new comcrs are people of wealth and for
no other reasons whatever. That several dis
tinguished gentlemen who in former sea-
sons resided further west have this year
taken quarters below Seventh street argues
not, as the san writer would have it, that
there is n disposition to return to tho old
democratic neighborhOOds in anticipation
Of a democratic return to power,
but that those gentlemen are will

position of everything in the democratic party
that such of its members as mistaken con-

with the spirit Of their party, and would in

The death of the archbishop Of Canterbury
awakens in England not only depth of sor-

pool which is interesting and momentous.
The lords and princes of the realm are no

and the primacy Of all England is place OF
importance second only to that of heirship to
the throne, Therefore is the choice of the
succession matter of grave political signif-
cance, and Mr.. GLADSTONE is besieged by the
friends of all the reverend great men in the

preparing the fish exhibit which the United
States is to send to London next year. 1t Is
expected that this will be even more complete
and extensive than that for which Prof Baird

species of the tinny tribe will be represented
by casts so natural that one can almost see
the scales, and every variety of apparatus for
capturing these inhabitants of the water from
The most primitive aboriginal hook to the
most approved modern fly, rs well as

Then thoro will be models OF tho vessels
of the fish commission, the Fish Hawk and

porting fish across the country, Besides, there
will be photographs and enlarged crayon
drawings showing the different methods of
catching fish. In fact everything relating to
iish in every way will he included in the ex-
hibit, and its magnitude may be imagined
