How to Water Plants.

Watering plants, says a writer, is one of
the most important things in the culture of
house plants, and very special care should
be devoted to it, Plants ought not to be wet
until they need il. 1t will be evident that
they require wetting it, on taking the earth
from the pot, it crumbles to pieces like dust.
A sure sign is to knock on the side of the pot,
near the middle, with the finger knuckles. If
it gives forth a hollow ring, the plants need
water; if there is dull sound, there is still
moisture enough to sustain the plant. Plants
must not be wet more than once or twice q
day. On dry, clear days they require more
water than ON damp, cloudy days. On the
other hand, the earth must not be allowed to
dry out entirely, for that is also very injur-
ious. In welting them the water may be
poured on in such way that it will run out
again through the hole in the bottom of
the pot. If the earth gets too dry it is best
to place the pot in water, 50 that water will
saturate the dirt very gradually. They may
be watered at any hour of the day, except
when the sun is shining on the pot or has
just left it, for the earth gets hot when the
sun shines on it, and then if the cold water is
poured on it it will cool off too rapidly. The
best time for watering flowers in summer is
in the evening, and in winter noon is best.
We'll water should never be used, but always
use either rain water or brook water. 1t is
important that the water should not be lower
in temperature than the room in which it is

How Nutmegs Grow.

Nutmegs grow on little trees which lool,
IKE pear trees, and are generally over TWEEN
ty feet high. The flowers are very much like
the lily OF the valley. They are pale and very
fragrant. The nutmeg is the seed ofthe fruit,
and mace is the thin covering over this seed.
The fruit is about as large as a peach. When
ripe it breaks open and shows the little nut
inside The tree grows on the islands of
Asia and in tropical America. They bear
trnit for seventy or eighty years, having ripe
fruit upon them at all seasons. A fine tree
in Jamaica has over four thousand nutmegs
on it yearly.
The Dutch used to have all this nutmeg
trade, as they owned the Banda islands, and
conquered all the otLer traders and DESTROYED
the trees. To keep the price up, they once
burned three piles of nutmegs, each of which
was as large as church. Nature did not
sympathize with such meanness. The nut

The First Baby in California.

1t was on the Fourth Of July, and Dow
melville celebrated. The stars and stripes
floatcd from peeled and lofty pine, and the
chorus of the anvil had re-cchocd through
the hills.
The house was crowded with miners. Poet,
reader and orator had performed their parts,
and the recently organized brass band was
giving in boisterOus resonance some national
anthem, when suddenly, there was heard the
feeble wall of an infant first low, then swell.
ing out in all the defiant strength of his
baby lungs.
The band put forth its loudest strains and
the baby, melted TO renewed exertion, re-
doubled its vigor.
1t was nip and tuck between the band and
the baby. The young mother did her best to
divert the child and hush him, when from
the audience there uprose brawny miner
and, shaking his fist at the musicians, he
cried: "Hush that blamed band and give the
baby chanceW
The band stopped its playing, and never
did stalwart men listen to sweeter music
than those cxles from home and women, as
they drank in the tones of the wailing child
The child was hushed upon its mothers
breast, and at the word there went up three
rousing cheers for the first baby of the north.

about selling it at the figure offered. If the
horse is sold, she said, how would the poor

Ballasting a Road With Salt.

A large tract of the Colorado desert is be-

from communication with the sea, the waters
eyaporatcd and the bed becamea basin of
salt. A branch of the Southern Pacific Roll
road is partly ballasted with this salt. In
laying track to the salt mines there, SAYS
the Los Angles Herald, the builders were
obliged to grade the road for 1900 feet with
blocks of beautiful Jumps of crystals of salt

You Cannot Buy 1T In the
10 Bar-rOOms.
What an absurd idea it is 10 send
sick man, with an ailing stomach,
a torpid liver, and impoverished
blood, to a bar-room to swallow
some stimulating stuff, and call it
medicine!
An enormous amount of mischief
is constantly done by men who thus
trifle with themselves. Instead of
healing their diseases, they make
them worse. Instead of gaining
strength they only acquire the dis
graceful habit of tipping.
1t is point worth noting in con-
nection with Byo7OW's Iron Baftcrs,
that this valuable medicine is not
sold in bar-rooms, and will not be.
1t is not a drink. 1t is a remedy.
1t is not made to tickle the palate of
old topers. 1t is made to heal dis
ease. 1t is not made to promote the
good fellowship of a lot of bibulous
fellows standing around a bar and
asking each other, "What will yoa
takel"ss :, 1t is a true tonic; an iron
medicine containing the only prepa-
ration of iron which can safely and
(benefcially be taken into the system.
