Health and House Plants.

Oftener than otherwise it is safe to re-
verse the popular maxims and preju-
dices, since, rs it would seem, their
basis is ignorance and sensual gratifica-
ton. Whatever appears to favor the
indulgence of the lower appetites-
generally more or less vitiated-appa-
rently is formulated into a favorite
maxim, eagerly adopted by the masses,
as a rule of conduct. This is well illus
trated in reference to the popular no.
ton that plants are unfavorable in their
effects in the sleeping apartment and in
the rooms of the sick. If this popular
prejudice has any force or Importance
it is when the odor of a plant is so
strong as to be unpleasant to the very
sensitive sick, the unpleasantness indi-
eating it's improperly in that individual
case.
Scientific facts assure us and convince
the discriminating that such are the
relations of the animal creation and the
vegetable world that the one can not
exist without the other, each contribut-
ing to the s~ustenance of the other.
Breathing, combustion, fermentation,
putrefaction and still other processes
are constantly exhausting the mor Vi
TALKING element of the air-oxygen-
distributing its chemical constituents, at
the same time producing a deadly gas
carbonic-which, aside from certain
compensating processes, might soon
render the air unfit for respiration. This
gas-so deadly to animal life that it is
scarcely possible to have it enter the
human lungs in its pure state on ac-
count of suf1ocation-is an important
element of nutrition to the vegetable
kingdom. that, indeed, from which all
woody fiber is made. In this and other
respects the three kingdoms are mutu-

If you do not wish to use the skins
and seeds of ounces to make jelly, stew

and use it to wet the sugar and help

quinces.-M 7. Post.
The New York Times reminds
farmers that smut is rapidly increasing,
few crops being free from it. A solu-
ton Of four ounces Of blue vitriol-sul-
phate of copper-dissolved in gallon
of water for each five bushels of seed,
which is STEPPED in it until it is abb
sorbed, has been found the most effective
to destroy the minute spores which pro
duce the fungus.
-Sulphuric acid, it is claimed, is a
simple but certain test for adulterated
butter. Fresh, pure, yellow butter, by
the slightest contact with sulphurlc
acid, turns almost a pure white, while
oleomargarine made from tallow
changes to deep crimson red. When
lard or other oils are used, the colors
are diversifed-showing all the colors
of the rainbow.
The free use of milk with some
persons needs discretion. A large glass
of milk swallowed suddenly will form
in the stomach a lump of dense, cheesy
curd. Under the action of the stomach
this will turn over and over like heavy
weight, and as the gastric juice can
only attack its surface it digests very
slowly. The same milk taken with a
biscuit, slice of toast, a roll or a
saucerful of porridge forms porous,
friable clot, which breaks up every time
that the stomach turns it over, and
through which the gastric juice can
easily pass. Therefore, milk taken with
breadstuffs is much more digestible than
by itself. If the milk be still found too
strong little boiling water poured into
it and piece of sugar added makes it
still more easily digested. Chicago
