A Plant Table.

Window-plants often cause us vexa-
ton and damage from litter and stain
and actual injury to sill and carpets.
And the plants themselves very often
lose their beauty, if not all their life,
from the dryness of stove-heated air,
even when no Immediately fatal gas
escapes. Seeing the pinched and pal
lid leaves, we are often prompted to
make bad worse by overwhelming at
the root rather than make a slop by
frequent sprinkling Of the4eaves. All
this trouble is remedied by the simple
expedient of using a fat-topped stand,
with arm round the top, so that an
inch or two Of sand, or moss, or
|ehoth, CAN serve as a bed for
the pots to stand on. If this is al
ways kept moist there will always be
a grateful vapor rising through the
foliage of the plants, and this is indis-
pensable to their health and good APP
pearaece,
OF course the pan or pan-shaped top
must be watertight to save the carpet.
Watering becomes an easy matter
comparatively, and the water-can and
other implements can be kept under
the plants and hidden by a valance.
The stand itself can then be OF the
simplest material; even a store-box
may answer the purpose. With cas-
tors under it the whole may Returned
away from the window to examine any
plants, Or to save the plants when the
night is likely to be very cold. Our
winters areso long, with all outdoors
covered with the hues of death, that
we need the solace of a bit OF green,
| warmed up here and there by some
bright floral colors, especially when
weakness or duty Or inclement weather
confines us indoors.-N.. Y. Tribune.

Luncheon for the family is always a

composed entirely OF cold meats, fish

are invited to lunch, however. The
hour for this repast is seldom earlier
than one o'clock, and sometimes much
later. A luncheon given to invited
guests can be made up OF salads,
oysters and various fancy dishes,
but some very fashionable people af-

of reducing ores by the aid OF electrici-

for the piece OF quartz the next day,
he found it in the dynamo, and to his
surprise the gold in the quartz had
been melted and had run to one side
Of the rock, forming a beautiful but

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Agricultural Miscellany.

Thefarmers in conventio assembled
recently made complaint against the
use of barb wire for fences as cruel to
animals and injurious to the skins
that are sent to be tanned. Comment
ing upon which the Indiana Farmer
says it would Indicate that cattle fre-
quently get caught in the wires, or are
driven against them with such force
as to tear their skins.
Clover is considered the best OF
all the crops by which the soil is made
to yield up its stock OF inert nitrogen.
But is is by no means the only one.
Peas are rich in nitrogen, but require
rich soil, as, indeed, clover does, to
yield full crop. Beans and the
Southern COW pea are also rich in nj
trogen, and will produce fair crops on
land upon which clover or peas would
not grow or grow very poorly.
The prosperity OF the country and
OF individuals depends upon enriching
the land. China is like garden. In
Holland they raise 100 bushels Of
wheat to the acre. We, with perhaps
the richest heritage given to man, have
so impoverished the soil, or failed to
improve it, that our wheat crop does
not average fifteen bushels per acre.
How to enrich the land from itself is
the question. Soils that abound in
plant food insoluble in water, that
lime will decompose, may be rapidly
enriched from its application.
Hens are in effect mere egg mediums,
and to keep these mediums in good
running order we must keep up the
thrift and health of the organs. The
first thing to produce this is cleanli-
ness OF quarters, comfortable lodging
places, and nutritious food. Fowls
are filthy birds as far as their appe-
titles are concerned, and will consume
uncleanly food and drink from dirty.
stagnant water, but they are clearly
about their bodies, and nice to a. fine
point. The better we keep our hens
the richer and larger are the eggs.
| The men who make themost money
from rearing pigs have learned to ma
ture them early. To do this it is nee
essary to provide good warm quarters
for the breeding stock and young pigs
during the cold weather, and feed as
literally as possible with variety Of
nourishing food. It costs just as
much to sustain the animal life, and
the shorter time that life has to. be
sustained, in order to obtain a given
result, the greater willnaturally bethe
profit.
! Corn, wheat and barley are good
food tor poultry as far as they go, but
they are not sufficient. Fowls, when
on a range, pick up large quantity
OF seeds OF weeds, vegetable matter, in
sects, and worms, and these, or good
substitutes for them, must be supplied
for fowls that have only confined
range. Rape seed, green mustard, cot
ton seed, sunfower seed, hemp seed,
and broken bones make a good SUBJ
stitute for the odds and ends of food
which are usually picked up by fowls.
These must be grown in greater part,
because most Of them cannot be pur-
chased, and it is advisable to have a
piece of ground adjacent to the yards
to grow them upon.

Little Linnet.

When the sun has gone to rest,
At the close of day,
And the twilight wraps the earth,
In its mantle gray,
Linnet waits for papa's coming,
And viii gladly greet him;
When she hears his footsteps near
She will spring to meet him.
If there were no little Linnet
At the window there,
All the world would seem to papa
Very cold and bare.
Linnet is but four years old,
Yet her smiling face
Gives the sweetest welcome
None could fill her place.
Little daughters, don't you see
Something yon may do!
Ii to others you are loving,
They will love you too.
