FERNS IN THE HOUSE.

Directions for Their Preservation in the
Winter.
Few people can afford TO buy flowers
In winter for the decoration OF the din
ner table, and yet even a green leaf is
grateful TO the artistic eye when all is
cold and frozen outdoors The green
house ferns sometimes grow well in
the house. but far more often they are
miserable and sickly plants, and any
thing except an ornament or rest TO
the eyes And outdoor ferns brought in
do not even look as we'll as the others.
They very often die outright and seldom
really flourish. The trouble with them
Is Just this; Our native northern ferns
must have natures own rest, which IL
dying down and freezing hard. II they
are taken up and brought indoors be-
fore that they get no rest, and as mat
ter OF course they will not grow well.
They can be brought from the woods In
the fall and potted, and then left out
until after week or two ofvery severe
weather. The pots should, however, DO
sunlen into ground; and they always
do better In porous pots than in any.
thing else; although they will grow
with care in tin pans II they have proper
drainage. The pots may break when
sunken in the ground, but as their cost
is triAing Il is easier TO slip the plants
into another pot than TO dig them
out OF the frozen earth. When
the plants are brought in they must
not be put too suddenly into
q warm room, for IL is necessary
to come as near as In possible the grad
ual awakening Of spring. They must
not be kept too wet; and yet they must
be wet enough. To raise ferns in the
house takes care and infinite patience,
but In the end IL pays; for the gradual
and daily growth Of ferns Is n very
fascinating thing TO watch. The push
ing OF the delicate curled fronds is quite
new sight TO many grown people and
10 almost all children, and the unfold
ing OF the leaf Is even more wonderful
ghan the leatng and blossoming. with
which people who have not made n
study OF ferns are more acquainted
They can be dug out Of the ground In
the woods In winter and, though IL Ia
hard work to dig them, they perhaps
do better than when they are potted
and allowed TO freeze. Take plenty Of
their own leaf mold with them II you
carefully mark where a fine clump has
died down before the snow comes, so
that yo. can find IL under the snow, II Is
perhaps the best way to get them; or
they can be dug mp and set out In the
garden where IL is easy to get at them,
for one can not get into the wood roads
very well in winter time. They will
grow for poor town dwellers who have
not even backyard in which TO sink
the pots for freeze, but they will not
do so well as II the pots are sunken in
the earth. II would seem almost un-
necessary 10 say that no plants grow
well in glazed pots II so many people
were not found every winter wondering
why their house plants do not grow and
anxiously tending them in glazed pots
which allow no evaporation. American

A shoemaker says: AS soon as man comes

If. however. the heel is turned on one side.

worn most near the toe. know that | have
to deal with poor pedestrian. The reason Of
the difference Ia position Of the worn spots
lies IN the tact that the poor walker walks
from his knee and the good one from his hip.
Watch the passer- by on the street and you
will at once see the difference. Nine men
out of ten will bend the knee very consider
ably IN waking. stepping straight out with
both hlps on the same line. and the toe will
be the first 20 strike the ground. The tenth
man will bend his knee very little lust

the elbow. BY SO doing he calls upon the
muscles that are strongest 10 bear the

IS given from the ball OF the foot OH making
another stride.
Men that walk in this fashion cover the
ground 80 per cent aster with the same exer-
ton than those Who walk from tue knee. IN
pugilisn the old rue Is TO strike from the
shoulder and not from the elbow. In podes-
trAnism II IL TO walk from the hip and not
