Flower Forcing i'm winter.
from the American Agriculturallstl

Those who have no greenhouses, but
whose plant culture in winter is confined
to sunny window, may enjoy few
flowers without even the trouble of grow
ing them if they are fortunate enough to
find one of ourcommon evergreen shrubs,
the leather-leaf. This is usually one or
two feet high, with its branches termina-
ted by one. sided clusters of flower buds
that are very much advanced in autumn
1t is common in bogs and swampy places
in all the Northern States as far west as
Wisconsin, as cranberry cultivators know
to their cost, it being Il most troublesome
plant or weed in their plantations. Many
winters ago we gathered cluster of these
Towering stems, being attracted by their
beauty even in their undeveloped state.
These were placed in water in window,
and, to orr great surprise, the buds
gradually increased i'll size, and at length
were in MS fine flower rs if they had been
left on the bushes until spring. These
are so neat and pleasing, and the flowers
last so long, that the plants are worth
searching for, Besides the name above
given the plant is in sone localities called
"Feather-leaf' and "Ganderbush :" its
botanical name is Cassendra calyculata.
Our success with this suggested trying
the "Trailing Arbutus" or "Maynower"
Epigna repcns.) This in warm room
was an utter failure, but clump Of it laid
in a shallow dish, supplied with water as
needed, and kept in room where there
was no fire, opened it's charming fragrant
flowers quite satisfactorily. We have no
doubt that the Partridge berry (Mitchella)
would succeed with similar treatment,
A shrub from Japan Forsythia veridis

Of the earliest of all the spring, blooming

and placed i'll water III warm room, will

Yer carly life was spent on the Isles OF

Her father, deceased few years ago, was
known as the hermit of the Shoals When

said. in the matter of some political Office
on which his heart was set, caused hlm 10
become a recuse, and purchasing the island
of Appledore from New Hampshire Tor
some $3.50, 4, he erected there small cabin.
The delightful location, quiet, far scenery
and pure air soon attracted the attention OF
summer tourists, particularly invalids, and
requests for board began % be received.
| Gradually the cabin was enlarged, unllI IL
became a summer hotel, though conducted
in the most Indifferent manner as to "helh-

sought after. When the daughter Celia
reached the age of fifteen, young lawyer,
at the island Tor his health, fell IN love win
her. Duly and respectfully, he requested
her hand of her father, who iuitably ordered

proprietorship, the young man removed -
an adjacent one, aud, there erecting little

The factory in question is situated direct |

The PCrilous Act of the Hanlon Broth
cr. Many Years ago.

Everybody who attended the theater
twenty years ago remembers what furore
was created by the Hanlons, who were
mquestionably the most daring, graceful
and intrepid gymnasts who ever visited
this country. They have given up their
perilous mid-air feats of late years to de-
vote themselves to acrobatic pautomime,
as eXcmplitied in their amusing play of
lie Voyage En- Suisse, which they are
now performing in this city, but in their
gymnastic days they delighted to exhibit
their wonderful agility at all times and in
all sorts ot strange places.
Once, while they were performing in
Baltimore, policeman at the corner of
Center and Charles streets happened to
glance toward the top of the Washington
monument and was Mortified to see a man
hanging from it head downward. The
officer involuntarily turned his head away
to avoid the sickening sight of the mans
fall, but not hearing the heavy thud he
had anticipated, he looked again, and
was amazed to find that tha man had
disappeared Hurrying to the top Of
the monument he found a group of six
young men. They were Thomas, Will
liam. George Alfred, Edward and Fred
erick Haulon. His inquiry if they had
seen man attempting suicide was recei-
we'd with a shout of laughter, and he was
told that they had only been having lit
lie practice. George Hun'on hanging head
downward while William VII his right
mana nri,. LIN by one ankle.
"Well, said the officer, don't you
ever do it again, and for fear some ac-
cident may happen, you all had better go
down at once
(Which way ? asked William. glancing
ovea the parapel.
"By the steps, and will arrange with
the keeper never to let you come again
Before the officer hadfinishod speaking,
he found himself alone. The brothers
had all slid to the ground by means OF the
lightning rod.
