A Queer Recognition.

When Jane Welsh, who married
Thomas Carlyle, was a girl, she was so
full Of life and energy as to be q match
for the boys in running and leaping
One Of the feats, which made her ia.
nous In her village, was the ease with
which she could surmount wall, seven
feet high, around the cemetery.
Years afterwards, when she had be.
come an old lady, she revisited the vii
lage, but walked the streets without be-
ing recognized by any Of the companions
Of her youth. A single action, however,
betrayed her. She mad made an ar
rangement with the sexton to be at the
cemetary, at early morn, to unlock the
gate. She was present earlier than the
appointed hour, and after waiting some
time grew impatient, for she was eager
to look at the graves Of her revered pa
rents.
In her yexation at the long delay, she
remembered the feat of her girlhoou,
and though the suppleness OF youth had
gone, she managed to repeat The teat
with tolerable ease. One of the old res
ldents saw it, and soon after, meeting
her in the cars, venti1red to Kills

Talmage Marries His Own
DaUsshter

Miss Jessie Talnage, eldest daughter
of the Rev. T. De Witt Talmage, WAS
married to MIR. G. Warren Smith. The
wedding took place in the Tabernacle,
Mr.. Talmage's church, on Schermerhorn
street, near Third avenue. Over 1000
guests were assembled in the vast euifce
to witness the ceremony, and the streets
all about the church were blocked with
hundreds of people trying to get q
glimpse of the bride. The church inside
was brilliantly illuminated, and rare
plants and flowers decked the platform.
Ferns, palms, large India rubber plants
mingled their vivid green with clusters
of fragrant roses. While awaiting the
arrival of the bridal party Mr.. Henry
Eyre Brown, the organist,, discoursed
sweet music, and as the bridal party en-
tered, the grand Mendelssohn wedding
march pealed gaily forth.
The bridal procession was followed by
four ushers, followed by tour brides
maids, then the bride on the arm Of the
groom, then two little girls and last by
the ushers. Mr. Talmage performed the
ceremony, assisted by his brother, the
Rev. Guion Talmage.
At the conclusion of the ceremony u
reception to 1000 guests followed at the
house of the brides father, No. l south

with the rarest flowers. The presents
were so numerous that they occupied &

, Putting Away Cabbape

+ Before the ground freezes cabbage
should either be pitted or stored away.
They will withstand considerable frost
without injury, but should not be allowed
to stand until they are frozen as this
seriously Injuries them. There are DIFF
ferent plans of performing this work,
ind of course each claim their plan to
be the best. One thing is sure, thew will
not keep any considerable length of
time if cut of from the stalks and stored
IN damp cellar. A few can be stored
in this way to be used up as needed, but
the large bulk should be stored away in
dirt. IF stored in the cellar, they should
be packed close together, heads up-the
same as they stood IN the patch--and
then covered with soil. Of course, this
necessitates taking dirt into. the cellar,
TO be taken out again in the spring, and
az it has nospecial advantage over put
ting them out Of doors, can see no
economy in following this plan.

with reasonable success in cool cellars,

Durability or the Planets.

Professor Mcfarland of the Ohio
State University, in paper in the cur
rent number Of the Siderial Messenger
on the habituality of the planets, draws
the following conclusions: "That the
four large outer planets have not sufh-
GENTLY cooled down to allow life on
their. surface such as we see on the
earth; that Mars gives all telescope and
spectroscopic probabilities Of conditions
compatible with life as we see it; tha.

has been covered with muitifarious lire;
that Of Venus and Mercury we have az
certain knowledge, and that the sateI.

such life as is on the earth; that in par

House Plants.

All plants for the house must have
light, if not sunshine. A temperature of
from SIS deg, to 20 deg. is better than
warmer for varieties cultivated indoors.
If the vases in a room where plants are
grown are filed with water it does mach
toward making the growth thrifty. Ju-
dicious watering is positively necessary.
It is q mistake to warm the water used.
It should be drawn and left to stand
until it is of the temperature of the
room. There are plants that will be Sc
riously DANA ed by too warm water. Too
much water is also harmful. The earth
about a plant indicates when it is thirs-
ty; then it should be thoroughly
watered. None of the ornaments
pottery vases for holding plants haye +
hole for drainage; it is not required
when the plant is cared for intelligently;
the earth needs only sufficient water to
supply whatever is growing in it. A lit
tie Judgment exercised, and it becomes
an easy matter to know how much wa
ter the earth in the water will absorb.
An excellent plan is to try the soil with
slender stick, as cooks try bread or
cake. To keep plants bright and healthy,
the foliage should occasionally be gently
sponged on both sides. This is partic-
ularly necessary for larged-leayed plants.
All withered leaves and twigs should be
picked of, and blossoms should not be
left on too long, or others will not form
in perfection. Newspapers pinned
about plants will protect them when
sweeping is done.

The Holy Ghost Flower.

From the Washington Herald.
The Botanical Garden in Washington
is possessed of rare curiosity now in
the flower kingdom. It is holy ghost
Or dove flower in bloom. The curiosity
is from Panama and blooms annually.
The plant grows from bulb about the
size Of ones hand, and springs up in a
single stalk, which is the size of a pipe
stem, and resembling in color and gen.
eral appearance a rush, and is about
three and a half feet high.
AT the top of the stalk, and for the
space of probably six inches along its
sides near the top, the flowers are loca.
ted. They are about two and one-half
inches in circumference, white as snow,
appearing rather like white wax or mar

mouth inclined outwardly. At the bot
tom of this cup'shaped blossom is the
most lovely specimen of natures art. 1t
ture, with wings extending upward, and
exhibiting the first half of the dove. In
front of the dove is an altar, slightly
sprinkIed with diminutive dots of ma
room coloring, and this is the only color
about the bloom. At the hase Of the
stalk are three shoots or long leaves, like
the shoots to new corn. There are
twenty-five of the cups on stem, and the
fragrance is very delicate and sweet. 1t
is a great curiosity, and is attracting a
large number of visitors. The dove
specimen is kept in the greenhouse
where the air plants are, which are
nothing but blocks Of wood, kept in
temperature so hot and damp they are
forced to, grow and bloom, and these
alone are worth seeing.

upon it with dread. AS their tradi-

daughter of a great spirit-the spirit
of storm whose dwelling place was in
the distant mountains. The daugh-

brave of the Crow nation and left her
mountain home to become his wife.

There had been no sickness among

of which there were not few, were

"Why do SO many people go east

came from in the east. You have
here in North Dakota an agricultural
country, which these people regret
