POINTS ABOUT PLANTS.

PLANTS that have been out of doors
through the summer need a gradual change
to confined rooms and heated air.
In window gardening 1t should be re.
membered that we have all degrees OF
temperature at command, from freezing tc
torrid. Shelves or brackets at different
heights should be provided TO meet the re-
quirements of heat needed by different
plants.
MOST plants win do well in west windows
II the conditions are right for them, but
north windows are not flvorable for the
growth of ordinary house .plants. Ferns
and many kinds of plants cultivated for
their foliage will, however, succeed in north
windows.
In your flower beds out of doors you fire.
quently hoe and stir the soil; don't neglect
1t after the plants are potted and in winter
quarters. Stir the soil with fork or other
small instrument; never allow it TO bake on
top. Keep it well loosened, so that the
water may readily go to the roots.
STUDY your plants. Notice their drinking
habits. You will soon find out which needs
the most water. You viii find they will take
but very little II the day is dark; il it is
pleasant they will require more. Especially
the first part OF winter is this noticeable.
The days are short and often cloudy. The
plants have not filed the pots with roots,
therefore II is better TO be on the safe side
ana not give too much water.

Twelve Hundred Dollars Sowed Up In q

Masked Robbers.
WnKKsBARRE, PA, March 25.--John
Morris, an Austrian residing in the
eastern part of this city, was sane man
until yesterday. Now he Is as crazy as O
loon, and all on account of the loss of the
savings of life time. The Austrian did
not believe in the safety of banking insti-
tutiops, so he made bank out Of his wlfe's
undergarments. The woman carried the
money around with her in day time, and at
night deposited the undergarment under
her pillow. On Saturday night, when she
went to bed, she put the petticoat in its us
ual place. When about doing away into
sleep she was suddenly aroused by three
masked men, who gagged her, stole the
pettcoat and made their escape. AT the
time tho robbery was committed the hus-
band was not at home. He had been in
vited out to neighbours house to play
cards. Morris says there was conspir-
acy entered into by some of the neigh
bors to get him from home and then rob
his wife. VIM. Standish, n neigh Dor, has
been arrested and held in 50, 600 bail, and
Mrs. Morris identified him as one Of the
men who entered her room. Stand ish, on the
other hand has five neighbors who swear
he was at home at the time the robbery
was committed. There was $1,000 sewed

fore his spirit was liberated from his tor

who is ON his way here, and the married
daughter, Mrs. Cleveland, who is also ex-
pected. Stanley Matthews had beautiful
home here and large number of friends.
His death has caused profound sorrow.
and tokens of sympathy and affection are

turned out from its room some
stirring phases of human life for the SUI
preme Court circle this weak. First there
was the romantic elopement of Chief JUS
tice Fuller's daughter, then came the for
NAL announcement of the betrothal of
Miss Matthews. the daughter of the man
w ho has just died, to Justice Gray, Of the

is Welded by n Milwaukee Squire.
MILWAUKEE, WIS.,, March 21.-Miss
Pauline Fuller, the fifth daughter Of Chief
Justice Fuller was married here last
right at the Kirby House by justice of
the peace. The groom was j. Matt
Aubery, Jr, of Chicago, and 1t was q
runaway match. When the $3.50 train
arrived, petite woman was helped Off the
steps Of the parlor car by well-knit
young man with n smooth face. The
lady was closely yelled, and was escorted
to a carriage by her companion.
They were driven at once to the
Kirby House, where they registered. No
room was assigned to them, and the
lady and her companion spent the early
evening in the hotel parlors. About nine
O'Clock the young man came down stairs
and informed the clerk that he wanted a
justice of the peace. Inside of fifteen min
utes Justice Gregory arrived. There was
a hurried consultation, and then tho young
man brought the blushing young lady
forward. The ceremony was brief one,
and the justice, who is a very prosaio
old gentleman, put on no extra frills.
He did not know that the bride
was the daughter of the Chief Justice
of the United States and neither did any
of those who were present, outside of the
contracting parties. When the ceremony
was concluded, the old justice called for
witnesses, and two young men were cap
tured in the billiard room, and ran to affix
their signature to the necessary document
The knot was legally and firmly spliced.
Mrs Aubery, nee Pauline Fuller, is nine
teen years of age, highly educated, and a
remarkably handsome woman. j. Matt
Aubery, jr., is twenty three years of age.
He is the son of the general Western agent
of the Merchants Dispatch Fast Freight
line. Young Aubery was heartily opposed
by the brides family.
