How to Beautiry a Home.

AHV" wv DCUuths " AsVAsSs
Almost everybody knows what
relief to the eyes little spray of |
green is in winter. The wealthy can
indulge in expensive conservatorics,
but those in moderate circumstances,
and even the very poor, can secure
a pretty object at a small expense
by following the directions given.
To begin with, an acorn which any
boy can get in the woods, and a
pickle-jar, which any housekeeper
can supply. Procure healthy acorn
and crochet round it little network
case. Take off the cup first and
leave a loop of the cotton to hang
The acorn point downward in the
glass. The glass must have 50 much
water in it that the tip of the acorn
scarcely touches; keep it in dark
closet until it has sprouted, and then
put it in the light. A chestnut thus
kept in water will sprout in the
same way. A sweet potato will
grow luxuriantly, and may be train
ed around walls and picture frames.
A carrot grown in sand is, if well
managed, highly ornamental OBJ
ject. A good-sized and healthy root
must be selected. Cut off quite
evenly the top of the carrot and
place it on the top of apot full of
sand, so that the leaves look as if
they spring from it. Moisten it we'll
and keep it in the dark until it has
begun to sprout; be careful to keep
it damp, and move it into the light
directly the leaves appear.
If tho cultivation is successful, an
ornament pretty enough for any
room will be the result, and which
will have to the uninitiated the ap-
pearance Of pot Of ferns. Another
experiment may be made with tur-
nip, which must be as sound as
possible. Clean the outside, taking
care not to injure the part from
whence the leaves spring. Cut a
piece off the bottom and scoop out
the inside, SO that you have hollow
cap; fasten string or wire to it, SO
that it can be hung up. Fill the
cavity and keep it filed with water
In short time the leaves will begin
to sprout, and will curl up round the
ball of the turnip, forming hang
ing basket. Children can be made
to interest themselves in such ex
periments, which will be found al
easy method of incalculating taste
and refinement; beside, each point.

much is to be learned by careful

HOME WITHOUT A WOMAN.

In the goodness of our hearts can

without a woman ? Such a home,
how rayless, sad and lonely AS
bereft of charms as the rosebush

as the desert without its cherry rest

fragrance as the garden without its
darling flowers ! A home without a
a woman AS we'll might day be
without its blazing suu, or night
without its lunar and diadem Of
dazzling stars Truly, are they to
be pitied who live in earth's isolated
retreats away from woman's loving
charms. Thrice blessed is he who
daily basks in the sunshiny smiles
of mother, wife or sister. His home
should be an earthly paradise. fit
emblem of the habita.ion beyond
the skies. Fair readers, let your
hearts 60 out IN the purest Sympa

have not a mothers loving counsel,

DANGERS OF EATING.
As seen By a Humorist.


About a year ego We had discar-
ded everything tina. we thought was
dangerous to the health, when wa
we're startled on learning that syrup
was adultered with nitric acid, and
that miasma lurked in the deadly
folds of the boarding house batter
cake. Figures were given to show
that the dreadful batter cake habit
was spreading, and prophecies were
made that it would eventually ruin
the constitution of the strongest de-
votee and reduce the Nation to
vast hospital Of fspjack iuvalids.
So the batter cake was scratched Oft
our list of edible fruits, and next
went the frsgant d6sh ball, be-
cause it was said to produce cold
feet.
Then we learned that the sad
faced and cohesive biscuit was a
synonym of indigestion, and the un-
ostentations kraut but another name
for rheumatism, so that the biscuit
and kraut had to go then we found
out that castor oil contained the
germs of iugostatic molecules, what
ever that is, and were, therefore,
forced to give up the use of that
hilarious beverage.
This thing went on till We had cut
off every thing from our bill of fare
but cstern water aud chewing gum,
and y ct found ourselves no stronger
or healthier than when we we're
Fastening to the tomb from the eff
fects of gorgipg ourselves with a
heavy lioe OF assorted poisOns three
or four times day.
About this time a man came along
with a magic lantern, and showed
Us that every drop of cistern water
can tanned an aquarium of hideous
monsters wi h wiggling
tails, and druggist told us that the
habit Of gum chewing was a fruitful
source of cancer.
Next thing we did was to swear
of being an internal fool on the diet
question, and now we eat anything
and every thing that our teeth will
masticate or our palate commend,
and we can work ten hours day
and see to read small print without
spectacles.

TUE SMALLEST BABY ALIVE.
Carson (Nev.) Appeal.

Suiooh NANNN'j AAPPN"''
A gentleman from Candelaria In.
forms us that the smallest baby in
the world was born in that camp at
noon on the 3D. ult. The father is a
mineri n the employ of the Northern
Belle mine, and weighs 80 pounds
The mother is a stout, healthy wo>
man, weighing perhaps 100 pounds.
The child is a male, as perfectly
formed as any human being can be,
but upon it's birth it only weighed
eight ounces. Its face is about the
size of a horse chestnut, and the
size Of its limbs can be imagined
when we say that a ring worn on
little finger Of its mother was easily
slipped over it's foot nearly up to the
knee. Our infoi mant states that it
was the opinion of the attending
physician that the child would live
and prosper in good health, notwith-
standing it's dimiuutive proportions.
The midget is so small that three of
it's size could play hide and seek in
cigar box. This is believed to be
the smallest baby ever borD.

WHAT CONSTITUTES AN EDITOR


Henry Wattersou Some people
estimate the ability of a periodical
and the talent Of its editor by the
quantity of it's original matter 1t
is comparatively sn easy task for
frothy writer to string out column
of words upon any and all subjects.
His ideas may flow in a weak,
washy ever lasting flood, and the
command of his language may en-
able him to string them together
like lunches of onions, and yet his
paper may DO but 3 meager and
poor concern. Indeed, the mere
writing part of editing a paper IL
but small portion of the work
The care, the time employed in Sc,
lecting, is far more important, and
the fact of good editor is better
shown by its selections than any
thing else ; and that We know, is
half the battle But as we have
said, an editor ought TO be estima~
ted, bis labor understood and APP
preciated, by the general conduct of
his paper--its uniform, consistent
course, aims, manliness, its dignity
and its propriety. To preserve
these as they should be preserved is
enough to occupy fully the time and
attention of any man. If to this be
added the general supervision of the
details of publication which most
editors have to enc unter, the won~
der is how to find time to write at
all.
