The cool nights remind the florist that
the time has already arrived for potting
house plants that have been given the
freedom of the garden during the sum-
mer. OF course the essential thing is to
have good soil. While the several plants
have a preference in the matter of diet,
geraniums, fuclsias, pinks and other ia
vorite easily cultivated plants thrive in a
soil formed one half of well decayed leaf
mold, one fourth rich garden soil, one
fourth sand. Bake the earth TO destroy
any animal life it may contain. See that
the exterior OF the pot is perfectly clean,
then cover the bottom with pebbles or
bits of earthen ware to the depth of two
inches, unless the pot is quite small,
when a smaller quantity will answer.
We have found a layer of hens drop
pings upon the drainage a desirable stra-
tum to promote a healthy growth. Seat
ter the prepared soil upon this. then re-
move the plant to its new quarters and
press the soil we'll about the roots. Fill
the pot to the neck Of the plant, leaving
sufficient room for watering. Set the re-
ported plants in a shaded place and wa
Ter them moderately. \ good rule to
adopt in transferring to a larger pot is TO
select one that will contain the smaller.
While attending TO house plants don't
neglect the hanging pot. 1t repays a
hundred fold all the labor necessary to

The Texas Law on Prize Fighting

The sports of the angular Saxons do
not square with the rounded ways of
the Castilians and their followers in
Spanish America. The natives of those
countries had neither bulls nor chickens
TO fight ON the coming OF Europeans,
but they took to the bull ring and the
cockpit like ducks to water. These
sports are patronized there by all classes
and ranks of people. Even the Napoleon
of the west, Santa Anna. to overcome
whom in Texas was the work Of a man
born tono common destiny, beguiled the
tedium of his exile by keeping a cockpit
in Havana. The benighted people of
Mexico know nothing of and care moth
ing for the Marquisof Queensberry rules,
and offered no encouragement to the
scheme when FL Paso wanted to get up
an exhibition of the noble art of batter.
ing the human countenance into a jelly.
Neither do the people of Texas affect it;
but some one whose name should 90
sounding down the ages engineered a
law through the last legislature to legal
ize the practice. Who was it and who
voted for it?-Dallas News.

Probably the greatest case of museum
fright on record was discovered at the
Grand useum Yesterday, The house
was crowded at the time and the curtain
just about to be drawn for the illusion,
when 4 hubbub was heard in the corner
where the wax figures Of the four mel
who were recently hanged III the Tombs
are curtained off. The attention of the
audience was conferred Immediately on
two excited persons, q mulatto man
and a black woman, who were struggling
fiercely-he Juggling, she screaming.
Lecturer Smith 500 quoted them and
then the reason of the excitement was
discovered. 1t appears that the negro
Lewis is placed just where a draft from
the window occasionally shakes the in
animate figure, and as II arm is point
ed upward the shaking has the effect of
giving a very threatening appearance TO
the arm. Thus it was that when the
colored visitors looked up at it all their
superstition came back to them and they
cried out in alright, thinking that Lewis
had returned to life.-New York Journal.

Unlimited Credit,

\ country schoolmistress had much
trouble with her pupils, and to avoid it
made her examples placed before them
of an explanatory character or i~llustra-
tive. The effect was often unexpected.
In going over their usual reading lesson
a line was chosen by the lady upon which
to test the merits of the scholars. The
line read. .sAnd he was a man Of unlim-
tied credit in business
Now, John, can you tell me what is
meant by the word credit when used as
in this lesson?'
Thus she addressed one of the Stun
bling blocks of the school.

ing sheepish.
"You don't know said the mistress.
Well, look here. Surprising your
mother was to come short Of money at
the latter part of the week, and needed
provisions. etc, now what would she
do?'
She was satisfied that her illustration
was plain, and awaited the correct reply,
and it came thus:
"Well, marm," replied Johnny, II
dunno what she would do, unless she
pawned dads Sunday coat"
The subject was instantly dropped,
and the teacher has lost all faith in that
style of observation-disclosures Ladies'

unearthlng a aEa,nuoth,s Bones.

w. B. Jelly, ex-reeve of Amarantl,
who lives on lot No. Q, con. Z, was last
summer engaged in scooping out a
watering place for his cattle in a wet
corner of his farm, and while excavat-
ing he unearthed the ribs or an animal,
which were of such a large size that they
startled him. He resolved to prosecute
his work next day, but during the night
it rained 50 heavily that he was unable
to dig for any more of the remains OF
the animal.
He exhibited the ribs a couple of weeks
ago to Mr.. John Jelly, of Shelburne, the
result being that this g~entleinan's Curl
osity was so much aroused that he hired
men to resume the search for the re
manning parts of what he believed TO be
an antediluvian animal. Mr.. Jelly, as
sisted By David Hoey and john Ander-
son, a few DAYS ago began operations.
After digging for awhile they exhumed
other bones. consisting of ribs and YER
zebra. These relics told their own tale.
Some of the ribs are four feet long,
and the component parts Of the back
bone are. in proportion to the weight
anu Size Oh the ll1llCf n VI ttHC
Mr.. Jelly, with the eye of an arehseol-
ocist. prosecuted his search with yigor,
and in a few DAYS was delighted by the
unearthine of one of the horns of the
mammoth. The enormous size of the
antediluvian animal can be estimated
from the size and weight of the immense
horn or tusk.
1t the butt it is eight inches in diam
eter. and the part secured is twelve feet
eight inches in length. Unfortunately
the workmen could not locate the TIP of
the horn: but competent scientists who
viewed the remains say that it extended
fourteen feet. The horn was broken in
three pieces, and had to be removed in
parts, one of which required the strength
of two men to elevate to Il wagon. The
middle piece itself measured eight feet,
and looks more like a log of wood thai
the undoubted horn of an animal.
The work of excavation is still going
on. and daily ribs and portions of the
yertebra are being dug up. The soil is a
black muck, from two TO three feet in
depth, and under this is q layer of white
mari, descending to a depth in some cases
of two feet, and in others of three and
four feet. Underneath the stratum is a
bed Of black sand. In the mari are to
be seen shells, indicating that the mann
moth must have persisted when the
country was covered with water or sub
jected to the glacial inyasion.-Toronto

Death in the Grape Seed.

When one hears of the museum freaks
who swallow jack knives, rusty iron
nails and pieces of glass without sustain
ing any injury TO their digestive organs,
it seems impossible to believe that the
swallowing of a mere seed of a grape
could place a man at the very threshold
Of death. Yet such is the fate of young
William Walton, of No. s53 Eighth ave
nue..
\ few days ago he was taken sick
after eating some grapes. An abscess
arose on his side, which, on investiga-
ton, proved to be the result of the seed
Of a grape having lodged in the vermi-
form appendix. 4 surgical operation
became necessary, and the young man
now lies in q precarious condition and
little hopes are entertained of his recoy-
cry. The case is Il very rare one and
has attracted much professional interest.
