An Interesting Treatise.

An important feature OF the next annual re-
port of DR.. John Collett, the State Geologlst.
will be an elaborate treatise by Professor Leo
Lesquereux, the distinguished paleozoic scientist,
upon "The Fossil Botany of Indiana" For
thirty years DR.. Collett has been endeavoring to
obtain something upon the paleozoic period
from scientists in Europe and America, but
without success, and has himself spent hundreds
of dollars for books in search of the desired in
formation. 1t was the object of Professor Les.
duereux's life to devote a work to the subject,
but being now in advanced years an unable to
take up such "a trO ubesome task, he has
abandoned his original purpose, and the paper
for the indiana report will contain the re.
suit of his life's study DR.. Collett is very much
elated over his success in securing the contribu-
ton, and it will give to the forthcoming report
value OF indispensabi.ity to the scientific world.

DECORATIVE ART.
The Work of Mr., Carl Mol err on Theo. Pfaf-
films New Music Rooms.

In order that the decoration of the new music
rooms Of Theo. Pfafin, at Nos. 80 and 81 North
pennsylvania street, might be in keeping with
Ihe general character of the new establishment,
the contract for this work was awarded to Mr..
carr Moller, OF 161 East Washington street.
here the writer might stop, so far the assur-
ance is concerned that the contract will be car
rled out in a thoroughly artistic manner. This
new departure OF Mr.. Pfaffin is, however, mat
ter OF such magnitude and OF such interest to
the musical people of this city, that it deserves
more than passing notice. 1t we're impossible
to bring before the eyes of the reader the effects
produced by the decorator from the fact that
words can only mention crude cOlors and their
relation to each other in the matter of contig-
uity, without being able to call up to
the mental vision aggregate results in
the matter OF blending, harmonizing con-
trasts. etc. Modern invention has placed
it in the power of the Interior decorator to pro
duce effects more pleasing and quite as artistic
as possible through the slower and more expen-
siVe process OF fresco- painting. There is no
shaue or color known to the fresco- painter that
may not be duplicated by the modern manner of
decorating, While @ more thoroughly accurate
outline IS assured. There is, however, as much
call for the exercise OF the artistic instinct in
the manipulation of modern decorations as in
the brush-work OF the painter This is uudoubt-
euly possessed by Mr.. MOer, and has been
thoroughly exemplifed by work from his house
In every instance where it has been done under
MS supervision. In these rooms under consider
alton, 1t will be observed that no incongruOus
combinations OF cOlors have been allowed to in
trude to mar the effects of an harmonious whole
There are no violent breaks from color to color
striking the eye with the unpleasant effects of
hap-hazard blending. The new and popular
colors known as Pompeian prevail largely,
toned to harmonic with gilt, but not in such
Daroarlc profuslon as to suggest the crude work
OF those whose idea is quantity rather than gem
eral tone. The center and corner ornaments are
or such character as to blend harmoniousy
with the general effect, a pleasant departure
from the too violent contrasts often seen In this
Grass OF work. Upon the upper floor, designed
ior q Tree concert room, q department of this
mouse which the city ought to be proud Of a
stage and dressing-rOoms have been fitted up
which, in the hands of Mr.. Moller, have been
transformed into "A bower OF beauty. Upon each
side OF the stage emblematical figures have been
placed, Of character thoroughly in keeping
with the design for which the room has been
ntted up. Taken altogether AIr. Moller has per
formed work of which he has reason to be
proud, and which cannot fail TO be a source Of
pride to the city.

The Osceola times., 1883-05-19

The girl in question is represented as a
pretty blonde, about eighteen years of
age, with large mole at the base of the
chin. She is the daughter of a farmer,
and was always looked upon as an inno-
cent girl until three weeks ago, when she
related her disgrace 10 her father. The
old man is a good Baptist, and went al
most distracted over his daughters con-
duct. He hunted up Glasgow and told
him he must marry the girl or suffer
death.
The willy seducer promised cheerfully
to do the former. and last Friday the two
boarded the train, stating that they were
coming to this city to make purchases for
the wedding outfit. Since that time
nothing has been seen or heard of either
party Glasgow is known 10 be very
shrewd schemer, and the impression pre-
walls that he has taken the girl to some
house of ill-fame and deserted her.
The two gentlemen from Gravel
Switch, who refused TO give their names,
were in the city and visited all the West
end sporting houses, but with no success.

girl is in the main due to the action of
her parent. 1t was the wish of the old
gentleman that she should marry her
cousin, a man whom she despised. The
wedding-day was fixed and due prepara-
tons made to celebrate the occasion.

Lord Beaconsheld's i'apers.


II is stated that il will be impossible to
publish any of Lord Beaconsfed's papers
for many years, in consequence of his in
innate relations with the Court. This
must be nonsense, as, until 1868, Lord
Beaconsheld was most ostentatiously
ignored by ''the Court" 1t is quite a
mistake to suppose that lac was high in
the Queens favor throughout his career
The Prince Consort entertained a most
hearty dislike to the Conservative leader
and il was until 1868 that Mr.. Disraeli
being thrown more into personal inter
course with the Queen, managed to over
come the suspicion with which his re-
agrded him. If we could geta sight OF
Lord Beacons fields private notes from
ISlS to 1868. am inclined to think that
they sawould not prove very pleasing tC
her Majesty or very ilattcring to Prince
Albert. 1t il a fact that when Mr.. Disraelli
had been leading the Protectionisfs foI
several years private remonstrance was
addressed to royalty against the con.
tinucd omission Cf his name from the
lists of guests at the state entertainment
but il was of no avail, as it was not until
the season OF 1852, when he had entered
the Cabinet, and it was impossible any
longer TO leave him out, that Mr. Disraeli
was among those" commanded" to the
Palace.

simple cure.

The following remedy for cold feet is
recommended by The Fireman's Journal
for sedentary sufferers, as well as police
men, car drivers and Others who are ex-
posed to the cold.
All that is necessary is TO stand erect and
very gradually to lift ones selfup upon
the tips of the toes, so as TO put all the
tendons of the foot at full strain. That
is, not to hop up and down, but simply to
rise-the slower the better-upon tiptoe,
and to remain standing on the point of
the toes as long as possible, then grad
ually coming to the natural position,
Repeat this several times, and bys the
amount of the work tips of the toes are
made to do in sustaining the the body's
weight a sufficient and lively circulation
is set up. A heavy pair of woolen stock
ings drawn over thin cotton ones is also
a recommendation for keeping the feet
warm, and at the same time preventing
their becoming tender and sore.

Ornamental Hedge.

For an ornamental hedge the Japan
Ounce lCydonia Japonica) has been
highly recommended in some quarters.
1t is hardy, and does not throw up suck
ers and spread. The common sort, with
scarlet bloom, though beautiful is the
best for this purpose. 1t seldom bears
fruit, but other varieties fruit consider
ably, and the seedlings from them grow
and bear tranSplanting well and their
varied bloom renders them a highly or
namental and conspicuous hedge plant.

Fertility.

However fertile soil may be, not
more, perhaps than one per cent. Of its
substance is, at any moment, in fit
condition for nourishing the crops. The
great bulk of this fertility is unavail-
able to the plant at any other time, and
is onlv slowly liberated by the action OF
air, Of moisture of heat and of manure.
II is upon the rate at which this liberia
ton ofplant-food takes place that the
natural fertility of the soil may be said,
in great measure to depend.

FROM COFFIN TO ALTAR.
Miss Mary Griffith, Once Nearly Buried
Alive, Now Happily Married.

PittsbuTg Commcrcial-Gazette.
1t does not often happen in real life
that young lady once enveloped in her
burial shroud, and placed in coffin as
dead, becomes bright aud happy bride,
yet such singular romance has just de-
veloped here.
Last evening the Immaculate Concep-
ton Catholic church i'll this city was
thronccd with society folks to witness
the nuptials of Miss Mary Griffith, daugh-
ter of the late John A. Griffith, a former
prominent merchant of this city, and Mr..
Vivian Neale.
The bride is a pretty young lady of
about twenty summers, and for the past
two seasons belle in Baltimore society.
The Rev. John A. Maloney performed
the marriage ceremony, and the altar
and sanctuary of the church were mag
nificently adorned with flowers. After
the wedding reception the young couple
left by Western express for a bridal trip
to Cincinnati and Chicago.
Several years ago, when the young
lady was residing in Cincinnati. she had
a terrible fall down flight of stairs, and
received injuries which were considered
fatal. Prominent physicians pronounced
the case hopeless, and finally the young
girl grew much worse, sank into coma
tosc state, and was thought to be dead.
The body was prepared for buriel, and
exposed for two days, in casket, to the
view of friends.
The day for the funeral came, and at the
appointed time the carriages and hearse
drove up to the house. Relatives and
friends had taken their farewell look at
the remains, and the undertaken was
about to close the coffin, when it was no.

corpse became more pronounced, and
there were slight signs of returning Vi

in a couple of hours succeeded in re-
storing Miss Griffith 20 consciousness
The solemn gathering was turned into
one of Joy. She recovered rapidly, and
has since been in excellent health.

Farm Drainage.

In planninga a system Of farm drain
age it is not generally best to commence
in the wettest places, because these re-
quire most labor and yield the smallest
proportionate return. The work of
thoroughly renovating one acre of marsh
will often require enough labor and tile
to make perfectly dry five or ten-acre
field ofupland that is just little too
wet for profitable cultivation. TO make
any work 90 farthest it should be put
where least needed, which would leave
the most difficult places for the last to
be recaimed.

Potatoes for seeds,

A potatoe that has been chilled is to-
tally unfit for seed. Farmers are often
at loss to know why their potatoes dc
not sprout, when the solution of the
mystery would be found in the fact that
they were chilled before planting.
The Osceola times., 1883-05-19
Food for Fowls,

Cooked vegetables of all kinds, but
more especially boiled potatoes, turnips
and carrots, are found to be economical
food for fowls aud conducc to their
health. These should be mashed with
thoroughly scaldcd corn or oatmeal, and
occasionally with shorts or wheat mid
dlings for laying hens.

Household Implements,

Many farmers who secure for them
selves all the .labor-saving implements
are slow in arranging similar helps for
their wives. \ reaper or mower is used
at the most only few days in the year.
A creamer, TO make butter-making easier
will be in use nearly or quite every day
in the year. and the butter product will
bring enough more to pay heavy inter
est on the first cost, besides the saving
in labor
