We shall not venture on comparison,
but simply say that the Kappa Sigmas
had their hall decorated beautifully.
The crescent and star, the emblem of
the order, which was emblazoned in
gas Jets at the entrance to the build

on the interior. A large star on the
north wall was greatly admired.
The supper table, set in the form Of
a st. Andrews cross, was beautifully
ornamented and illuminated with wax
tapers, representing the colors OF the

The hours after supper were devoted

THE DEVIL.
[ponyer Tribune Republlean. ]

[Denyer Tribune-Republican.l
Men don't believe in a devil now, as their
fathers used to do;
They've forced the door Of the broadest
creed to let his Majesty through;
There isn't print Of his cloven foot, or a
fiery dart from his bow,
To be found in the earth OF air to-day, for
the world has voted so.
But who is mixing the fatal draught that
palsies heart and brain,
And loads the earth Of each passing year
with ten hundred thousand slainl
Who blights the bloom of the land to-day
with the fiery breath Of hell,
If the devil isn't, and never was Won't
somebody rise and tell
Who dogs the steps Of the toiling saint,
and digs the pits for his feet :
Who sows the tares in the field Of Time
wherever God sows His wheat
The devil IS voted not to be, and Of course
the thing is true
Bat who is doing the kind of work the devil
alone should dot
We are told he does not go about as a roar
ing lion now;
Bat whom shall we hold responsible for
the everlasting row
To be heard in home, in Church, IN State,
to the earth's remotest bound,
If the devil, by a unanimous vote, is no
whore to be found
Won't somebody step to the front forth
with, and make his bow and show
How the frauds and the crimes Of the day
spring up, for surely We want to
know.
The devil was fairly voted out, and Of
course the devils gone
But simple people would like to know who
carries his business on.

House Plants,


Dryness of the air is the chief obstacle to
successful window gardening. Plants sue
coed much better In the kitchen than ia the
parors, as the air is charged with moisture
from the cooking, etc. If the house is heat
ed by furnace, there should be pan for
evaporating water in the furnace, kept well
supplied. If stoves are used, keep vessels of
water on them. Dust is Injurious to plants.
Much may be prevented from settling on
the leaves by covering the plants with light
fabric whenever the rooms are swept. All
smooth-leaved plants, like the ivy, camellias,
ETC., should have weekly washing with
damp sponge. Do not water until the soil is
somewhat dry. Keeping the earth constant
ly wet soon makes unhealthy plants. Let
the water be of the same temperature as the
room. Hanging plants dry out rapidly.
Plunge the pots or baskets in pail or tub
of water, and after they have ceased to drip
return them to their places. The so-called
green-fy, or plant lonse, is easily killed by
tobacco water. Apply this when of the color
Of weak tea. Red spider is very minute, and
work on the lower sides of the leaves. When
these turn brown, the spider may be suspect
ed. Give frequent showers, laying the pot
on the side. and apply water with the
syringe. Scale insects and mealy bug are
best treated by manipulating before they
become numerous. Chrysanthemums.
through Towering, should have the stems
cut away and the pots of roots taken to the

Preserviup celery tor vysn,er.

Tbs methods mostly recommended for win
tering celery, by putting it into pits or
trenches, covered with boards, straw, leaves
or soil, may do very we'll for the market
gardener or large grower, who does it in a
wholesale way, but it is not ct all adapted to
the farmer, says writer in the New York
Herald. He wants celery often, and but
limited quantity at time, and when it is pnt
up by this method he will go without sooner
than dig it from under the snow or frozen
earth. Secure some deep boxes, as deep, or
nearly as deep, as the celery, leaf, stalk and
all, II the bottoms are not watertight make
them so By mailing battens over the cracks
Then bore three or four holes about four
inches above the bottom. When the wealth
er becomes so cold that you fear the celery
will freeze flight frosts do not iuiure til
loosen it with spade aud take it up, leay-
ing small quantity OF soil adhering to the
roots OF each plant, and place it in boxes as
Shickly as the plants can be crowded togeth-
er until the box is filled, except little in
one corner. Then crowd board down
across the corner diagonally. so as to leave a
space through which you can pour water
without wetting the celery. When thus
filled, place ii in some dark cellar where it
Will remain as near freezing as possible and
not freeze Down tha open corner pour a
half pail OF water, and do this sufficiently
often, so that water shall be always ia the
bottom of the box; the holes bored in the
sides Will prevent its rising high enough to
come among the stalks, as this would cause
tnem TO rot. Celery is low-land plant, and
VIII thrive with its roots in the water, and
when taken out, as wanted, will be found to
have made large amount Of new growth,
tender.
