A Cheap Piant.Stand.


We made very effective plant stand
for our front yard last summer in the
following manner: A cedar stake, two
or three inches in diameter, was driv-
en- into the ground SO as to stand firmly
and of the required height, small
piece of board nailed across the top,
and another piece, a little larger, nailed
over this, so as to make a substantial
base, and cheese-box nailed to this.
Then we filed the box half fall by put
ting in couple of inches of sand, and
sphagnum over it. The whole was
then covered with the pendant lichen
which grows on our swamp-cedars, so
as to effectually conceal the materials
used in its construction, and the box
filled with plants in pots, tall ones in
the center and smaller ones around
them, with trailing plants to hang over
the sides. It was shaded by trees dur
ing the hottest portions of the day, and
such plants as glechoma, alyssum, ivy.
OttonnG crossifolia, ETC., succeeded
finely by merely pressing a handful of
sphagnum around the base of cuttings
and pressing them into the spaces be-
tween the pots.

EatabIes for the Sick.
DR.. Foote's Health Monthly.

DA' ANObS . ACAleh ahOutluys
A writer in Land and Water eau
tions nurses and attendants against the
too-common practice of leaving milk,
blancmanges, jellies, and other deli
cacies and foods uncovered in the sick
room. He reminds the reader that
milk in the larder will keep meat from
spelling by absorbing the bacteria and
atmospheric impurities which would
otherwise affect the meat.
This caution is much needed. The
emanations from the bodies of sick
people are often Vitiating if not infec-
tuous. The sick-room can hardly have
as pure air as apartments occupied by
people in health, and the latter are
too often confined and poorly ventilat-
ed. Leaving food of any description
in sleeping room of occupants sick or
well, unless securely covered, is bad
practice. If it be intended for an in.
valid it may convey the seeds of dis.
ease rather than the elements of nu
triton, and if transferred to the table
may injuriously affect the whole family
AS a rule, articles which have beer
standing in the sick-room should be
thrown to the waste. In cases Of cor.
tagious diseases it is advised to burr
the clothing which has been worn by
the sufferer, or used for bedding
When this is not done thorough disin
lection Is recommended. As food dis
infection is hardly to be thought of
let all such articles as have been ex
posed at the bedside of the sick be
dumped in the garbage or swill-barrel

Paris BookstaiIs.

Temple Bar.
There is no place for bookstalla like
Paris, although even there many have
been swept away by the ruthless hand
Of progress, and the spot where they
once stood knows them no more. Does
any one remember that portion of the
Place du Carrous elimmediately adjoin-
ing the Louvre as it was thirty years
ago, with its little colony of tumble
down, one -storied tenements, inhabited
by floating population of book and
print sellers, secondhand furniture
dealers and bird-fanciersp Where the
prim square now occupies the central
space of the quadrangle, boxes and
baskets filled with volumes of every
size and date, piles of engravings and
picture frames, were eagerly inspected
by miscellaneous asSemblage of col
lectors and idlers; while other more
privileged individuals penetrated into
the pigeon holes, by courtesy called
shops, and examined with critical
sagacity the cheicer specimens of litera-
ture and art jealousy guarded in the
sanctum of their owner. ALI these
have vanished as if by magic, but
plenty still remain for those who know
where to look for them. Not on the
quays, alas! their day has long gone
by; nor is it likely that the most dill

Cannihalism in Eli.

1t was only people who had been
killed that were considered good for
food. Those who died natural death
were never eaten-invariably buried.
But it certainly is wonder that the
Isles were not altogether depopulated,
owing to the number who were killed.
Thus in Namena, in the year 1851,
fifty bodies were cooked FOR one feast.
And when the men of Bau were at
war with Verata they carried off 260
bodies, seventeen of which they piled
on canoe and sent to Rews, where
they were received with wild joy,
dragged about the town. and subjected
to every species of indignity ere they
finally reached the ovens.
Then, too, just think Of the number
of lives sacrificed in country where
infanticide was recognized institution,
and where widows were strangled as a
matter of course! Why, on one occa-
sion when there had been a horrible
massacre of Namena people at Viva,
and upward of one hundred people had
been murdered, and their bodies car
ried as bokola to the ovens at Bau,
no less than eighty women were
straRgled to do honor to the dead, and
corpses lay in every direction of the
mission station! It is just thirty years
since the Rev. John Watsford, writing
from here, described how twenty-eight
victims had been seized in one day
while fishing.
They were brought here alive, and
only stunned when put into the ovens.
Some of the miserable creatures at
tempted to escape from the scorching
bed of red hot stones, but only to be
driven back and buried in that living
tomb, whence they were taken a few
hours later to feast their barbarous
captors. He adds that more human
beings were eaten on this little isle of
Bau than anywhere else in Fiji 1t is
very hard, indeed, to realize that the
peaceful village on which 1 am now
looking has really been the scene of
such horrors as these, and that many
of the gentle, kindly people around me
! have actually taken part in them.

in prison on April 1st, places the num-
Der at five hundred and eleven, of
whom twenty eight are reasonably
suspected" of murder, and seven as
accessories. Eleven are charged with
reasonable practices, and twenty-four
with shooting with intent to murder.
Others are held for arson, intimidation,
unlawful assembly and other causes.
Mr.. ODonnell, Member of Parlia-
ment for Dungarven, publishes letter
in the Times, headed 'The Core of the
Irish Difficulty" in which he mentions
that the question of arrears is the one
question to which all men responsible
for the government Of Ireland ought to
turn their especial attention. If the
arrears difficulty, he says, is solved,
every difficulty will be solved. If it
is neglected, then farewell to the hope
Of peace, progress and contentnaent.

He found six reasons that were con-
elusive to his own mind. Americans
eat and drink too much; they gamble
in stocks and grain as well as at the
gambling table; they are homeless
people, nearly one-half of those in New
York living in boarding houses; disap-

and finally there is false standard of
success, the same being money.

The Big April Snow-storm OF 1873

The Big April Snow-storm or 1873
'Nlobrara Pioneer.
Nine years ago to-day the 'Fold set
tiers" will never forget, any more than
the people who were residents along
the Missouri river on the 18th OF
March to the present time will
forget the great food. The whole ooun-
try nine years ago to-day (ApCil IA,
1873 was one vast snowbank, and near
ly all the cattle and horses were buried
in it. The storm began on the 18th of
April and continued for three days,
blowing furiously and filling the deep
est ravines compactly with snow. The
grass had come up sufficiently for stock
to nibble, and they were allowed to
roam over the country at pleasure.
The stock that CHANGED to be well
housed were necessarily neglected in
consequence of the severity of the
storm, and when they were watered a
rope had to be attached to the person
who ventured upon the duty, or he
never could have found his way back
to the house, so piercing was the mi.
mute, dust-like snow fakes. The stock
paved their way until their strength
gave oVt, and in the ravines, where
many fed for shelter. and on the prai-
RE where some had become exhausted,
they were found after the storm, dead.
Men who had been in COED circum.
stances were left poor again. The IA.
vines were filled with snow even with
the prairie as late as the middle of
May, and some of the deepest ones con-
tanned ice-snow as late as the 1st of
July. The effect of that great "bhz-
lard" has been q caution to our old
settlers, and Wednesday of this week,
when the snow began coming down,
those who had experienced the great
trials of those days could have been
seen preparing for the worst.

A Bulgarian Wake.

ca 'mbers' Journal.
When the father of the family feels
his end approaching, he sends for the
priest and begins to bargain with him
about his funeral, and settles the de-
tails of his "wake." Having arranged
all this and his other worldly affairs, he
feels comfortably prepared to leave the
world, and when his agony commences
to have lighted taper placed in his
hand, his jaws bound up with cloth,
and his eyelids closed. The moment
his pulse has stopped all the pots, pans,
jars, kettles, etc., in the house are
turned upside down to prevent his soul
from taking refuge in one of them, and
great care is taken to prevent either
man or animal-especially cat or dog
from stepping across his body, as
otherwise he would turn into vampire
and be a continual nuisance and a
danger to his family and the whole
community. Within a few hours of
death the body is buried, without any
coffin, in a shallow grave, eighteen to
twenty-four inches deep, and left there
for three years, during which time
many offerings of food and wine are
placed upon it. At the end of the third
year the bones of the dead man are
dug up, carefully washed, put into a
linen bag, laid before the episcopal
throne, of which there is one in every
village, blessed by the pope, and then
finally buried for good. Thus the
Bulgarian is well taken care of after
his death, unless, indeed, there is any
reason to believe that he has become a
vampire. In that case the grave is
opened and the body transflxed by a
stake, or a nail is driven into his breast.
If the body is very well preserved, then
it is riddled with pistol-shots, and the
earth stamped down firmly upon it, or
sometimes it is burnt to ashes by a fire
made of thorn.

was accused Of arson; ihe took a change

and acquitted. ThereEpon there was a
mass-neeting held in Danville, and the
Jury Unat acquitted was vigorously de-
nounced. AS mentioned above, a mob
in Indiana reversed the finding of a
jury and hanged man who had been
acquitted. If this sort of thing be en-
couraged, it Will Eot be long before the
question of guilt or innocence OF a
man will be decided, not by an inves-
tiGation of the evidence, but by a show
OF hands in a mass-meeting. The
lynching which is now confined to the
prisoners will presently be extended to
Jurors who acquit, and to judges who
fail to charge juries in accordance
with the prevailing local sentiment.

more speedily and more safely By re.
Installing the courts, and abolishing the
caucus system of criminal procedure,
than they will by sustaining individual
avengers and vigilantes.
