Flowers in the Sick Room.
Philadelphia TimesJ


The Superstition" as he called it.
that plants are not healthful in sleeping
or sick rooms was vigorously attacked
by DR.. J. NJ. Andrews yesterday after.
noon in lecture before the social meet
ing of the alumni of the college of Phar
macy, on Tenth street, above Arch. The
deieterious matter that they gave out
the doctor declared, is too small to have
any appreciate effect, while their posi-
tive value in sick room is great. They
fulfill two functions-that of the gener-
alton of ozone and exhalation of vapor,
by which the atmosphere of the room is
kept in a healthful condition of humid
ity. Tests made by the doctor at Christ
hospital showed that in two rooms
alike in all respects except that one con-
tanned some flowers and the other none,
that containing the flowers was cooler
by degrees than the other.
The ozone which is generated by bud
ding and Towering plants, the doctor had
found to have great sanitary value, in
that it purified the air, Kidding it of dis
ease-breeding germs and of the yapors of
decomposition. For consumption ozone
is of great benefit, arresting the course
of the malady, and by living among
flowers constantly consumptives have
known to reach an advanced age. OF
thirty florists whom the doctor visited,
he found none who had consumption,
though among the families of several it
was hereditary. Foliage plants, the
doctor found, produced no ozone and, so
far as he had experimental, he had
found no difference between odoriferous
and non-odoriferous plants. More ex-
periments were urgently advocated to
determine more definitely the value Of
this new remedy for consumption.

To the Chairman of Joint Committee to investigat,
SIR: Your committee to whom was
assigned the duty OF investigating the Office
OF the Commissioner of Immigration and
Agriculture have instructed me to respect
fully report the results of their investiga-
tionI as follows: That they have thorough
ly examined the books and accounts Of
said office, and it affords them pleasure to
be able to say they show commendable
care, accuracy, and clerical ability on the
part OF the Commissioner and his efficient
assistant, that all expenditures for the
years 1882 and 1888 of this department
have been economical and, in every case
30 far as they were able to Judge, necessary
for the efficient discharge of the duties i'm
posed by law ON the Commissioner; that
all accounts for the years 1882 and 1888
against this department were examined
and allowed by the Board Of Immigration
and Agriculture, and approved by the Gov
ernor before payment thereof was made by
the Commissioner, and for each item of ex-
penditure during that period the Commits
sloner holds and exhibited to them .
voucher; that the printing of books and
pamphlets in several languages and the
engraving of maps for the purpose of dis
seminating knowledge of the topography.
statistics, climate and soil of our State
among the people of Europe and the differ
ent States OF this country, have been cheap
~ and neatly executed and widely eircu-
lated; that the Commissioner has now on
hand OF these publications Is large and
1000 small geological maps of the State,
1900 hand-books OF Mississippi, OF which
1000 are in the English, 1000 in the Ger
man and 900 in the Swedish languages,
1,5o0 reports on fertilizers and 500 reports
OF private lands for sale; that the total ex-
penditnres of this department for the years
1882 and 1888 amounted to S2l ,064.52, and
the appropriation made therefor by the
Legislature of 1882 for this period being
100000, there appears a balance unex-
pended and covered back in the Treasury
OF 81, 4S5.4S, and that tins unexpended bal
anee shows unusual care, economy and
eircumspeetion on the part of the able
Commissioner and his assistants in the ex-
penditures of the funds placed at their dis
posal. Respectfully submitted,

To the Chairman If the Joint Committee 70 InveS
lEzte Pebble Offices:
Your subcommittee appointed TO inYes
tigate the Office Of Secretary Of State, re
spectfully report that they have examined
said Office for the entire time during which
the present incumbent has held said Office
The Office Of Secretary Of State during the
time covered by our examination has been
carefully and well conducted. During the
entire term of II. G. Myers service in said
Office we have found the accounts kept with
3 degree OF accuracy quite remarkable
On account Of the contingent fund fol-
postage, etc. we find TIE Secretary oil
State indebted TO the State in the sum Of
"A cents, and this is the only sum we End
due the State on any account. This bal.
ance against the Secretary Of State come.
about not through any false or fraudulent
entry, but merely by an error in the addi
ton. For period Of five years the per.
quisites Of the Secretary have amounted Ia
the total sum Of $j,1828l or something
above s 900 per annum, against this the
expenses for clerk hire etc, amount to the
sum of 81 $3.50, leaving a net average
for the officer Of 3569.94 per annum.
Your committee further report that they
have examined the archive room where
the records Of Mississippi from the DAYS of
Its territorial government are kept, and we
unhesitatingly say that the condition of the
room is a disgrace to the State. The pa
pers, books, and other records 10 the
amount Of many wagon loads are heaped
In confused mass on the floor. and if a
record Of any kind now in said room is
needed Tor any purpose it would be almost
an impOssibility TO find it. The present
Secretary Is not to blame for this state of
affairs, as your committee found that the
archives were in their present condition
when he went into Office. Your committee
recommend an appropriation OF $4,000 or
so much thereof as may be necessary for
the purpose OF arranging the records afore-
said, and for fitting up the archiye room
with shelves and drawers for the proper re-
eeptiOn and protection Of said records.
Owing to the fact that your sub-commit-
tee were necessarily compelled to be in
their seats large portion of the time, and
owing to the further fact that your com
mlttee are not professional accountants we
were forced to employ an expert account
ant to assist US in our labors. We en-
plOyed Judge A. II. Arthur, of Vicksburg.
He was employed for ten days in the
service Of your committee, and we ask that
he be allowed $500 per day for his really
efficient work, and and that his report Re
taken as part of ours.

The Feed and the Breed.

Before man can weed the unprofit-
able COWS In the herd he must know
which they are, and this can not be as
eeFtained without test. There ase var
ious ways of making tests, but the best
of all is TO weigh every milking and re-
cord 1t. Then there is no guess work
about it. no estimating and uncertainty.
But as the average .dairyman hates
trouble or bother and as it is too
much to expect radical reform at once,
even il one hopes for reform at all, it
may be safer to advise weighing once a
week, morning and evening, record it,
and base an estimate upon that. When
the feed, care and weather are regular
the estimate viii come pretty near the
truth. Trials of q week continuously
during each month viii also furnish some
basis for an estimate, and anything in
this line is q little better than nothing.
At any rate the man who obstinatelY.

the most important point Of all. Every
COW should do her best, aud to do this
she must be fed up to her capacity, and
All the While II Is next TO insanity to
attempt to succeed By feeding less than
the COW can dispose of properly. She IS 4

As brightly shines the spring-time sun
Upon the shady garden bower.
And drink the dew that sparkling fell
Al morn upon each bud and flower.
So let our deeds Of mercy fall
Upon the weary and down trod.
That they like dewdrops on the rose,
May raise IN glory up to God.
And as We thus, by mercy, prove
Our claim TO Thy approving smile,
On, Lord be thou our staff and guide
