AstroIosy.

Astrologers divide the heavens into
twelve equal parts, called houses. This
is done by dividing the vertlcle circle
or circle passing through the zenith and
the east and west points OF the horizon
into six parts of thirty degrees each
and six corresponding divisions lie be-
low the horizon. In regard to these
"houses," Lilly says that ''the exact
knowledge OF them is so requisite that
he who learns the nature OF the planets
without exact judgement OF the houses
is like an improvldent man tnat fur
nishes himself with variety OF house
hold stuff, having no place wherein to
bestow them"
To each OF these "houses" is ascribed
a particular significance. For instance,
the first house refers to the stature,
health and life OF man, or it stands In
State astrology for the common people;
the second house refers to wealth gen.
orally; the third to brethren, to letters
and to messengers, ETC., and so OF the
other houses. The seventh house is
singularly Heterogeneous in its signitica-
tion, as it refers to lovers and husbands.
animals strayed, thieves and things
stolen; SO that If a young lady was to IL
quire after her absent lover, or en- eld-
erly lady after her favorite cat, the as
trologer would look to the Seventh
house and planets therein and aspect
ing." The next things of importance in
astrology are the zodiacal signs. Aries,
the first sign is described as being fiery,
choleric, bestial, luxurious, Incorporate
and violet; and, beside, it "rules" gum
boils, toothache, badness. places of re-
fuge fer thieves, and, among other
countries, Englsnd. CampaEella says
that "Aries makes people ferocious,
stubborn, fierce. bold, presumptive and
crafty. like tine English" We ought to
feel compIimented. Taurus signifies
people given to pleasures, like the Nea-
politans. Virgo signifies the best ma
thematicians. astronomers, learned and
inge nious men, cts. Libra points to
those given to the delights of music.
and so ON.

Au Ice Palace.

1t has been finally decided that st,
Paul will have an ice palace this win
ter. Fifty men have subscribed 500
each toward its construction. The
movement is not imoney-making
scheme, for after the subscribers have
been repaid, the balance, if any, is to be
divided among the charitable organiza-
tions of the city. The palace is to be
$50 by 125 feet. with numerous towers
of the Norman style of architecture.
The main building will be surrounded
by a fence made of shrubs covered with
ice, beautiful effect being secured by
spraying the shrubs and allowing the
spray to freeze. Between the ice fence
and the walls of the palace viii be con-
structed race-course. The interior of
the palace will be lighted by electricity.
Electric lights will also illuminate the
race-course and the entrance to the
palace. The interior arrangements will
be similar to those of the Montreal pal
ace. The ice blocks to be used in its
construction will be sixteen inches thick
and four feet square.

Ut lizipg Paper.

Paper being nearly air-tight will ex-
clude cold, and should be used more
than 1t now is; builders place paper
between the boards and clapbOards OF
a house, and we should do well 10
follow their example in smaller mat
ters. Farmers have found that the
extreme warmth secured by taeking
several thicknesses OF newspaper around
the inside of hen-houses, etc., has
saved extra food. A layer of paper
under a carpet is preferable to straw,
which is sometimes used, and if the
paper made for this purpose caunot be
obtained, several layers of newspapers
will DO nearly as well. Papers spread
between bed coverings VIII take the
place of extra blankets. A folded
paper is an excellent lung protector;
one over the chest and another arond
the shoulders, under the outside gar
ment, which often saves a cold, and
perhaps pneumonia. Dissolved In flour
paste newspapers make useful filling
tor cracks in floors and elsewhere.
Scraps of paper, wet and scattered
over the floor, when sweeping will save
the dust in the room as well as
brighten the carpet. Bits of paper
with soap suds are effectual in cleaning
bottles, and are easily removed with
the water. Greasy dishes and kettles,
il first rubbed with paper, wash much
easier; the paper absorbs the grease and
is all the better for kindling the fire.
4 grease spot can often be taken out of
O carpet or garment by placing two or
three layers of paper over it; then
pat warm iron on the paper. The
heat softens the grease and the paper
absorbs it. and by changing paper and
iron occasionally, all the grease will
disappear. Soft newspaper or tissue
paper is preferable to cloth for clean
ing lamp chimneys, windows, mirrors,
etc., rs 1t leaves no lint; also for knives,
spoons and tinware after securing; and
a stove will not need blacking so often
if now and then rubbed with paper.
Scraps of writing paper for that use
on one side only may be utilized IN
several ways. Bowls and glasses with
out covers may be used for jelly, by
cutting round of paper the size of the
top dip IN brandy and press down
evenly upon the jelly, cut another
cover Of soft paper large enough to
paste down on the outsides OF the jar
Paper in bread and cake tins protects
the loaf from burning and insures its
safe removal from the tin. BY this help
tin with holes IN 1t may be used.
Laid over loaf of cake in the oven,
paper is also protection, but unless 1t
Is warmed FIRST the cake may settle.
Gu in strips and curled with scissors,
writing paper makes good filling fo-
pillows for hammocks.

EhuOarD Culture.

Bhubarb like our currant bushes, will
grow almost anywhere under any treat
ment, and consequently receives more
iil-usage than any other "green thing
growing" But for this reason it should
not be supposed that when growing
under neglect and abuse 1t viii do its

Of equllay good quality rs when good
treatment is given. After it is once
planted rhubarb requires little cultiva-
tion, but 1t must have at all times, deep,
rich soil, the richer the better. In field
culture the roots are planted about four
feet apart each way, and cultivated like
any heed crop. III the family garden
they should be planted two or three feet
apart, in single row, at least four feet
distant from other plants.
1t may be raised from seed, but as
there is little reliance in the seedlings
being OF the same variety as the parent
plants, division Of the roots is the
method of propagation usually adopted.
Any piece of root with a bud or crown
Will grow if planted about two inches
deep in mellow soil firmly, pressed
around It. Roots may be planted in
autumn or early spring. Plantations
are usu',lly renewed every four or five
years, yet when a liberal dressing OF
manure is given every fall the roots Will
produce a crop for an almost indefinite
period. Heavy manuring, clean culti-
walton, and liberal space are the essen
tial requisites for raising large succulent

seeds so freely that unless all flower
stalks are cut off as soon as they appear
the crop deteriorates rapidly. Victoria

variety originated in England, and now
introduced here. The stalks are bright
red. heavy, and produced in quick sue
cession and great abundance. 1t is
earlier, of more delicate flavor, and de.
cidedly less acid than any other variety
we are acquainted with. But its most
remarkable and most valuable qualifica-
tion is that 1t does not produce flower
stalks, to which fact It's great product
iveness is mainly attributable, all the
strength of the plant being used for the
development of its leaves.

a Jeweled Volume.

A small book the value of which is
probably in the hundreds of thousands
of dollars, belonging TO the Ant Cabinet
Of Gotha, was shown at the Interna-
tional Metal Exposition recently held at
luxembourg. The binding IS in en-
bossed gold richly decorated with
enamel, diamonds, rubies and emeralds.
The work was formerly ascribed to
Benevenuto CellIni, and made for Pope
Paul III as present for Charles tie
Fifth. This, is erroneous, as the Gotha
volume is illustrated by ii. Goed.g, who
lived in the second half of the sixteenth
century, and the binding is probably
the work of German goldsmith, VITO
also lived at the Court of Prince Au-
gust Of Saxony.
