FRIENDS of Mrs. General Logan say that
she has recovered almost entirely from the
effects of the accident by which she was
thrown from her carriage. She will never
be able, however, to raise her right hand
above her head. She is bound up now in
the completion OF a memorial-room in her
house at Washington, in which she has
brought together all the mementoes of her
husband in her possession.

A MATTER OF CHOICE.

Dana, of the New York sam, was
asked whether port wine did not bring

thought it did, but that the man who
would not prefer to suffer few
twinges of the govt rather than give
up his port wine wasn't man after
his heart.
Many things like this are a matter
of choice, and we really believe that
we are justified in saying that those

to keep the rheumatism rather than

grees of heat and cold that would prove
fatal to the greater part of ordinary house
plants.
A pretty way to arrange the w andering
Jew IS to plant few of the vines in two
fower-pot and set one at each end of
shelf over q window, as in the illustration.
Of course, when planted in the earth the
vines will need to be watered, the same
as any other plant. Another way of ar
ranging them, which has prs we'd very ef-
fectlve, is to fill a common gls SIS bottle with
water, and after placing the vines IN it,
hang the bottle in the window by a string
tied around its neck, and attached by loop
to small hook or tack III tn center of the

600 MORE FOR JouYsrowS.
A committee Of prominent Johnstown
citizens, consisting Of Hon. John NJ. Rose,
member of the legislature; ex-Burgess II
w. Storey and DIR. J. G. Sheridan. had a
consultation with Governor Beaver on the
question of continuing the work Of clear
ing up the sire is and streams of that town
Each OF the gentlemen named assured the
Governor that the work is not complete.
They represented that the condition of affairs
isstill very bad. The cellars are not cleaned,
and the river beds are not free, and showed
that, on the average, one body has been
found in each house cleaned to say nothing
of the bodies yet being found in the strcets
and river beds among the debris.
Gov. Beaver was very much impressed
with the statement and said he realized the
seriousness Of the situation. He promised
that under certain conditions, mainly the in.
dorsement of the proposition by those who
have recently been to Johustown and are
subordinate to him. that he would furnish
III 200 to continue the work for ten days
The committee said that this amount would
be satisfactory and would complete the work
of cleaning up. Five hundred men can be
put to work at once aud, in ten days, the
wcrk will be completed.

Low PRIcEs prevailing at this house they
saved more than enough money to

black in the sky and the rain would
not stop, although Haddy and Ray
stood by the window wishing for the
bright sunshine TO dry the grass so
that they could run over to auntie's to
see Oracle.
Mamma was nearly beside herself
with their noise and teasing. She had
tried every way to quiet them, and she
was 30 tired.
The door opened and Aunt Lefty
came in, wet and dripping. "Why,
what's the matter with my boys?" sho
asked.
The story was soon told, and sho
said, us that all l thought the ex-
press train was smashed up, or the
rocking horse had his leg broken.
Wen soon have the sun shining, in tho
house, at least"
Then she begged some old news
papers OF mamma, and taking pair of
Scissors sat down by the fire with q boy
in little armchair on each side.
Such wonderful things as those sharp
scissors cut from those old papersl
There were team-horses and trotting-
horses and saddle-horses with men on
their backs, and horses that could only
stand still. There were cows and pigs
and hens and dogs and cats and-antl

Haddy and Ray shouted for Joy and
forgot all about the rainy day, and
when at last Aunt Lefty said she must
GO, mamma bade her good.by with q

said she was n sunle cam.
And the boys had paper animals
