A Natural BOne.Setter.

Years ago DR.. Stephen Sweet, of
Lebanon, was called upon by those suf-
fering with fractured bones from far
and near for relief. It was before sur
gical skill had reached its present state
of excellency, and DR.. Sweet had a
really marvellous gift for setting mis-
placed bones. He was a heavy. power
full and strong armed man, and after
placing his hands over the injured parts
could at once detect the trouble and re-
pair it in the twinkling of an eye. He
had the gift from birth, and his fame
was such throughout the Eastern States
that he was almost necessarily travel
ing by stage or on horseback from one
place to another in response to de-
mands for his services. He had fine
knowledge of human anatomy, and in
his time no learned surgeon in this
country was held in higher and more
universal esteem. 1t is related of him
that while ON a journey he once stopped
over night in New York City, and was
attacked upon the street by party of
three footpads, who were attracted to
him by his countrified ways, his homely,
garb, and a sachel of money which
swung from his saddle. They ap-
preached him on all sides. He dis
mounted with the rapidity of lightning,
and Selling the first that came to hand
hurled him to the ground, twisting his
arms as he did so, and leaving him
prone on the sidewalk with both his
arms out of joint. To the second he
threw leg out, and to the third both
an arm and leg. The fellows lay
writing and cursing in their pain about
him, and after letting them suffer spell
the sedate humorist slipped their joints
back into place, read them a lecture,
and let them go.
DR.. Sweet had large family of chill
dren, all of whom to greater or less
extent inherited the gift of natural
bone setting.'' Despite criticisms upon
their skill and knowledge the country
people as a rule are unit in favor of
called in Sweet in case of a broken
for patient. Strange stories are told
of the Sweet children's ability. From
their early childhood they practiced
their gift upon every fowl and animal
upon the farm, and it was no unusal
thing to go into the barnyard and find
the hens reclining composedly upon
their backs, with their legs dropped
over, or a cat, or a calf in the same
predicament. A quick movement of the
hands in replacing the joints and the
animal would get up and walk away as
though nothing had happened. The
Sweet children have now scattered, so
that there is scarcely large city in the
Union but has one of them Willin,ass-

How to Water Plants.

Watering plants, says writer, is one
of the most important things m the
culture of house plants, and very
special care should be devoted to it.
Plants ought not to be wet until they
need it. 1t will be evident that they
require wetting, if, 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 knuckle. 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 the other hand, the
earth must not be allowed to dry out
entirely, for that is also very injurious.
IN wetting them, the water may be
poured on in such way that it will run
out again through the hole in the bot
tom of the pot. If the earth gets too
dry, it is best to place the pot i'll water,
so that the 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.
Well 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 to be used.
