To Keen Plants I'm Winter.

4 new principle for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown nt Regents park,
london. with the plants grown in them
last winter. The essence Of the invention
IL that NIL light and heat shall previously
pass through shallow layer Of water.
The water Is found TO exercise treat con-
troll over temperature, protecting plants
entirely from frost In winter and
from excessive direct heat In summer.
The application involves no difficulty. In
the case of garden frame n sliding
"water light" al.ont three inches deep, is
male TO flt over the frame containing the
plants, the only difference from n glass
light being that IL holds water and Is al
ways placed In fiat position. The depth
Of water generally kept In the tank Is
about two inches In summer and winter,
and half the depth In spring and autumn.

scattered about the city.
Everywhere, in inches Of the walls,

There was queer scene on the Bowery
day or two ago, when one OF the clothing
houses gave away 1000 overcoats to poor
boys, demanding quarter from each boy,
for some wise reason not clearly ex-
planned. Tho little gamins who sell the
papers got most OF them. Possibly You
think that was good, and that they would
be snug and warm this winter. Well,
don't know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strnngest part OF our popu-
lation. They are like little rats or foxes.
Their origin Is easy to get ut; they are the
children OF love, OF paupers, Of vaga-
bonds, and of the squalid tenement dis
tricts. Thousands either have no homes
or else don't go to them, but live in lodg-
ings, ncwsbOys' homes, and In wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
OF the city. Tho bootblacks are their
brothers ana chums, and live In the same
way. They all smoke-either stumps,
picked up, or cigarettes at two for cent.
Their stoves arc the gratings over boilers
under the streets; their dissipation IL at
tendance Of the galleries Of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun Is found In
fighting.
"They arc wild beasts" said the clerk
In the publication Office OF n newspaper
the other day. "They are devoid Of affec.
ton and gratitude. They swear ut you IL
you speak kindly to them. run away from
you IL you offer them advice, jeer ut you

vite them into the press room In cold
weather they break the windows, hack
the woodwork and even 60 so far rs to
take stones or weights and break the
heaviest iron work. While they wait In
the Office to buy papers they dig trenches
In the counters with the steel pens and
break the holders In two. One day one Of
the clerks gave one Of these boys q good
derby hat that he had tired Of. Another
clerk asked the boy why he did not say
THANK you A-a-a-h,' the boy replied,

what are you going to do with the haty

COUNCIL MEETING.
Water Works Matter Postponed
Numerous Sidewalks Ordered
Built--Hospital Location
to be Changed.

An adjourned meeting of the council
was held Tuesday evening to consider
sidewalk and water works matters.
The sidewalk matter was first taken
up and resolution passed requiring
that sidewalks be placed in front of the
property advertised in the official pa
per. This includes all of the central
portion of the city where walks have
not been laid. Two or three miles of
walks will be required. No protests
were received. The resolution adopted
gives the property owners until Aug.
list to construct the walks, after which
date the city will do it.
Several bills were allowed.
The question of changing the location
of the hospital was brought up. 1t
seems that the trustees all favor chang
ing the location from Bunker Hill to a
block denoted as public square" in
Mankato city-the first ward. tits pro-
posed to make the change on account of
the expense of hauling stone up Bunker
Hill. The first ward location is said to
have all the advantages of Bunker Hill
for hospital purposes. The aldermen
present favored the new location, in
case the trustees should decide upon it.
The water works question was taken
up and the committee on water works
was authorized to make a thorough test
as to the capacity of the city well. The
committee will spend considerable
money in doing this and will decide the
question for all time as to whether the
we'll is able to supply the demands OF
the city. The aldermen indil idually
favored this plan and agreed to give up
the idea of making the well source OF
supply in case the tests should prove
the water supply from that place in
sufficient.
The council had met during the after
noon previous and had proceeded to the
well with the purpose of testing it, but
the test was not successful owing to an
injury to the pump. Nothing was as.
certained.
