IyY-Leaved Peiargonlulns.

The ivy-leaved varieties now in cul-
tivation are more elegant in growth and
in the form of their flowers than either
of the old arge-howered sorts Or the
zonals, whilst they are equally con-
tinuous in their blooming as the zonals.
For hanging baskets they are I'M
equalled, and in the form Of specimens
loosely trained round few sticks, when
the plants get large they can be turned
TO good account for tie decoration of
plant houses through the summer, and
in autumn when blooming plants are not
too plentiful. Where large specimens
are required they must have plenty Of
root room They may be ported when
in full bloom without receiving any
check, provided care be taken not to
disturb the roots more than Siy re-
moving the old drainage material. Ten
inch pots are not too large for fuil-sized
examples, and even with this amount
of room they will need assistance with
manure later ON to maintain robust
growth. Turfy loan of good quality,
with sixth part of rotten manure and
sprinkiing OF sand, is the right soil to
use. Young plants, such as struck from
cuttings during the present summer,
will be in right condition for filling
hanging baskets next spring; conse-
quently the requisite amount of cuttings
should now bp put in. BY striking
them early the plants have time to gain
strength before autumn. Tich's MGgd-

HOW TO DESTROY COMFORT.
Build a House Bigger Than You Need or
Can Afford.

An ideal or earthly comfort, so common
that every reader must have seen it, is to
get house SO big that it is burdensome
to maintain, and fill it up so full of jim
cracks that it is a constant occupation to
keep it in order says q writer in Serb
1ers Magazine. Then, when the ex-
pense Of living in it is SO great that
you can't afford TO go away and rest
from tie burden of it, the situation is COM
plete aud boarding houses and cemeteries
begin to yawn for you. How many Amer
leans, do You suppose, cut of the droyes
that fiocked annually to Europe are ruu =
ing away from oppressive houses? When
nature undertakes to provide house, it
fits the occupant. Animals who build by
instinct build only what they reed, but
mans building instinct, if it gets chance
to spread itself at oil, is bouud'ess, ia az
all his instincts are. For it is mans pecu-
liarity that nature has filed him with
impulses to do things, and left it to his
discretion when to stop. She never tells
him when he has flushed. And perhaps
we ought not to be surprised that in so
many cases it happens that he doesn't
know, but just goes ahead as long as the
material lasts.
Ii another man tries to Cypress him he
understands that and is ready to fight to
death and sacrifice oil hs has rather than
submit, but the tyranny OF things is 80
subtle, so gradual in its approach, and
comes so masked with seeming benefits
that it has him hopeless,y bound before
he suspects his letters.

HydropiloF,ia, False and Real.

It may be laid down in the very be-
ginning of our consideration of the sub
ject that the victim of false hydrophobia
can only have those symptoms OF which
he has knowledge. Unfortunately
the real disease has received so much
notice from newspapers and other popu-
knowledge of its phenomena has been
acquired by the laity. Hence, we find
that the picture ordinarily pres ented
by the unconscious simulator is, at least
| to cursory observation, not unlike the
real affection. There are, however,
great differences which the educated
physician will not fail to detect, and
which will enable him to do what has
never been yet done with real hydro
phobia-cure the patient.
Hydrophobia never originate, in the
human subject ut least, except by inocu-
lati0n from Tabid animal, and death
always occhls in four or five days after
the development of the disease. A case
OF so-caled hydrophobia came under
! my notice, in which it was stated that
the patient had been bitten some three
months previous by dog undoubtedly
! hydrophobic. [ inquired as to what
had become of the dog, and was in
formed that he was still living, having
recovered. It was not necessary to
examine any further into the particulars
OF the case, for if the dog had really
F.! been the subject of hydrophobia, he
would have been dead very shortly after
biting my patient.
Again it often happens that a person
easily affected by suggestions has what
he conceises to be the symptoms of
hydrophobia developed very soon after
having been bitten by rabid animal,
whereas the real disease rarely SUPER
venes until after month has elapsed
| from the time Of incubation. It is true,
there are cases on record in which the
| period of incubation was less than that,
but they are exceedingly rare. In my
own cases the time has varied from
twenty-five days to four months and o
| half. Cases ia which the disease is
said to have superyened many years
after an alleged incubation ought to he
received with doubt. The interval
probably never exceeds two years or is
less than ten days.--Df. Hammond, IN

Two tfotters, small and restless, cafitered OF

And with them, all nnwittingly, they took the

They gailoped far away from town, these ponies,

AS on hey sped, new sights and sounds did all

And dropping down on velvet sward, they In

But baby May was we'll content, and midst the
grasses SAT,
And cur1s of dandelion stem she in her tresses
And to the winds the golden wealth Of blossoms
eayly flung.
Refreshed and rested, Trot and Tramp once
more went on their way
And with them, still bedecked with flowers, was
merry baby May
With spirita high. they galloped on by rill and
And in and out by crooked paths, their wind

But ere the l,oontide hour had come, said Trot,
In doleful mood,

Said Tramp to Trot, I'm all my life I've meier SO

Perhaps to do as we nave done is something OF

Meanwhile reigned fear and anxious thought
DER loss of baby May,
For none could guess the manner strange in
which she went away,
Nor ever dreamed that ponies small, like tiny

Could bear away little girl to such q far-oti

But while the sun was yet OH high, unframed
in wooded glade,
Was found asleep by messy log. q dainty little

And dangling from her shape1y head, with hair

And with no room at all to spare ithe oldest

Were Trot and Tramp, oil safe and sound,

HOW TO WORK AFRICA.
Highways Must BE Opened Up to the Lakes
and Travel Expedited.


and Travel Expedited.
Hitherto o very small capital, and that
employed in somewhat half hearted way,
has been expended on working the affairs
OF the two or three companies which are
Supposed to exploit" Africa. Everything
else has been done by an odd combination
of religion, sport, pleasure, tripping, geo.
graphical exploration and ivory trade. We
do not advocate the immediate
formation of schemes on a very large
scale, says the Saturday Rerieg. 1t
is we'll known to the historian, and the
philosopher has no difficulty in accounting
for it, that very elaborate and sumptuous
schemes of colonization have a knack OF
failing more or less disastrously. For
colonization is emphaticaliy a system of
''here little and there a little," of max
ing your base sure before you erect your
superstructure. But there are certain
things which ought to be done at once,
which are the preiiminaries of all else,
and which will require certain amount of
capital-it need not be very much-to do
them. These may be said to be the estab-
lishment or reorganization of means Of
communication on the great lakes and
the opening of highways to them. The
slowness, expense and trouble of African
travel have been the great draw back to the
opening up of the country hitherto, and
this drawback has TO be removed first of all
Next, as German example, or rather Ger
man following Of our example, has shown
US, the formation of an efficient Sepoy
force is necessary for the support, in the
first place, of the native chiefs with whom
we make treaties against the rowing Arab"
slave traders, aud secondly, for general
police work. These things done, every
thing else should follow.

The Rearse-Driver's Panic.

An old gentleman who was relating
to me some time ago "reminiscences of
his youthful days gave me this story,
whose outlines may appear familiar to
our "old settlers" There used to be
seen around Bangor in former days a
sidewalk capitalist, of somewhat the
same turn of mind as our illustrious
contemporary, "Dan" Thompson. He
went by the enphonious name of "Jabe'
Pond, and for many years had been
supported by thetown. But he always
chose his own seeping places. Jabe
disappeared one evening when the chill
of autumn was keen and was not seen
during the next two DAYS. A heafse,
the only one In town, was to be used
early in the morning at a funeral in the
country. 1t was necessary for the
driver to begin his drive during the
night. He went to the stable, hitehed
up his horses and drove away with the
hearse. He had gotten we'll out OF
town and was ascending hill when he
heard something slipping in the hearse.
A moment later there came a loud howl
and the driver looking back beheld a
form in winding sheet, wildly waving
its arms. Terrified and panic-stricken,
the driver leaped from his seat and fed
up the hill. Pond for it was old Jabe
gathered up the reins, got on the seat
and drove back to town. He unhitched
the horses, backed the hearse into its
usual place, re-arranged the winding
clothes and calmly resumed his inter
rupted slumbors He had found .
lodging-house which suited him per-
fectly, and was not going to give it up
| for q funeral Bangor Nea0s.

fIls Diet III Rather Below THAT cf MS
Glass i'm Oslacr European Nations.
The British consul at AdrianopIe id a
recent report on the agriculture of that
district says tie diet Of latorers inpthe
towns and villages is very frugal and infe-
rior to that Of The same class OF men in the
rest OF Europe. The town laborer feeds
himself during the day on loaf of bread
With little fruit added In summer and a
slice OF cheese or few olives, or
only an onion, iii winter; OF the
end OF the days WORK his neal
consists CT a dish OF vegetables, sell
dom accompanied BY wine; the Mussulman
laborer never drinks wine, but has several
cups Of black coffee in the course of O day.
The villagers and farm hands get soup
mixture made of -four, water and Oil OF
sesamum, with q flavor of onion, and
bread, as morning meal; Mt midday they
eat a small leaf OF bread, with few olives
or onions, or with pinch of salt or red
pepper; the morning meal is repeated in
the evening, meat being tasted six or eight
times year, on grand feast days, and dried
fish occasionally. Tue bread is made OF
maize CT millet, especially the latter,
which is found much moro satisfying. III
some places potatoes have been intro
duced, but have not been appreciated.
Biead soaked in whey from the churn il q
common dish in summer, and garlic,
washed down by weak vinegar, is much
consumed by reapers duriug harvest time.
Non Mussulman producers Of wine put g
banelfnl aside for home consumption, and
do not replenish tue supply wien r
minated, but buy small quantity on
great festivals. They prefer tax
ing an occasional glass of @raki" brandy
at the village tavern. Though arrange
ments differ in some localities, the labor
ers attached to farm usually receive
about ct Is. per annnm, including
their food and sufficient hide to make
several pairs of sandals. The men
employed periodically receive from
Sd to Sd per day and their food. For
the harvest, men are engaged through
foreman called "dragoman," who
undertakes the whole work for lump
sum, Reapers get about Is Sd per day.
| The latter are inhabitants of billy aud less

farm fare appears sumptuous; they have a
