Apple blossoms IN winter.

We all love the beautiful, deliciously
fragrant apple blossoms that charm us
for a short season in the spring, and note
sadly the last shower Of white petals over
the emerald green carpet beneath the
trees. All persons do not know, how
ever, how easily these lovely flowers may
be caused to bloom indoors in winter.
If large branches are broken from the
trees and placed in water in warm,
sunny window, they will soon flower,
and many of the blossoms will be as
beautiful and fragrant as those that
bloom on the trees in the spring.
Care must be taken to select such
branches as have an abundance of plump
blooming buds, and some of these should
be removed, as well as some of the more
pointed leaf buds.
Wild pear and wild cherry branches
may be fowered in similar manner,
but not so satisfactorily as apple tree
limbs. No doubt many other kinds of
early blooming shrubs and trees could
be made to blossom in this way.
Here is an interesting field for expert
ment for flower lovers, particularly for
invalids and children. The satisfaction
of sending to sick neighbor or present
ing to friend bunch of fresh apple
blossoms in winter amply repays the
trifing labor required to produce them.

Ever rr.esur. by IN Earrhquaks.

The postal inspectors offices are on the
fourth story OF the appraisers building,
and are lighted by folding windows that
reach almost to the floor In each sash
is single pane of extra heavy American
plate glass, SO inches in length by IS
inches wide. During the recent severe
earthquake shock one pane was broken
by the oscillation of the building. and in
such peculiar manner that it became
an object of general interest. There
were four fractures extending entirely
across the pane, starting from each cor
ner and forming an angle at each edge,
leaving perfect square in the middle
surrounded by six half squares.
The fractures are as straight as though
cut with diamond and straightedge.
and the proportions of each section as
true as though laid out with mathemati-
cal instruments. The jar Of the earth
quake seems to have thrown heavy
pressure upon the corner of the sash,
and the glass, unable to bear the strain,
gave way; but by what law of mechan-
les it broke in such regular lines and
mathematical proportions is q puzzle to
all who have seen it. 1t is proposed to
remove the whole sash, and place it in
the State museum as one of the most
remarkable earthquake freaks on record.

A Hero Indeed.

There is a man in Atchison who is o
hero, though if you should call him one
he would scarcely know what the word
meant. His wife recently died and left
him with eight children. He labors hard
by the day and manages his housework
after night. After doing hard days
work he will begin the family washing,
to be finished and hung ON the line next
morning, the ironing to be done the
second night. He could not afford a
sewing woman, so he has by constantly
trying learned to run a machine and cut
and fit.
The Oldest girl is growing up, and will
be great help to him in few years.
His little children are sent to school
every day, and they appear as neatly
and comfortably dressed as any in the
school, He did not scatter his family
among his relatives nor send them to an
orphan asylum. He kept them together,
and their home is almost as comfortable
as it was when the mother was alive
He is hero, and the greatest kind of a
hero, from the fact That he does not re-
alize that he is hero at all.-Atchiscn

About Mems Presents,

Various facts became evident during
the holidays. One was that rule fol-
lowed by ninety-nine men out of a hun
derd existed in these words: 'When in
doubt give doll" Another was that, even
if the average man began to procure his
Christmas presents now for the 25th of
December next, midnight of the Gath of
that month would find him with his most
important gifts still unbought; and un-
given gifts are as useless as unkissed
Kisses A third fact brought home was
that no woman was ever wholly satisfied
with the presents she got. If they We're
for her baby they were not good enough;
if they were for herself she had others
like them. Five women met accident
ally in car the day before New Years;
they were all going to exchange Christ
mas presents, and they all got off when
the conductor called Fifteenth street.

DartmOuth's Hospital.

Mr.. Hiram Hitchcock, of New York,
has endowed hospital in memory of his
late wife, Mary Hitchcock. 1t is being
erected at Hanover, N. H., and will offer
opportunities for clinical study to the
students in the medical department of
Dartmouth college. The hospital will
be less than half a mile from the college,
and will stand in park of fifteen acres,
on site overlooking part of the Con-
necticut valley. Any patient not suffer
ing from infectious disease will be eli
gible for admission, and it is believed
that the professional staff will be made
up of physicians from the town and the
college. The hospital will probably be
ready for occupancy during the coming
autumn, and will be so literally endowed
financially as to do away with the neces-
sity of soliciting outside assistance

Gen. Fisk's Bequests All Paid.

The administrative of the estate of the
late Gen. Clinton B. Fisk (Mrs Fisk has
paid all the subscriptions made by the
general to various colleges, theological
seminaries and other institutions of the
church, and has, we learn from the
trustees of Drew seminary, paid a large
subscription on which there was no legal
claim, the general not having signed the
book. We also learn that the corpora
ton Of Fisk university has decided to
erect memorial chapel, to be named
the Clinton B. Fisk Memorial chapel,
with the $25, 900 bequeathed by the gen
eral to the university and paid by the
administrators Christian Advocate.

The Carbons licked the Message.

A dozen people who stood chatting at
San Antonio, Tex, were treated to a
most remarkable electrical phenomenon.
At that time the elements had entered
into aconflict, seemingly, with the cleo
trio fluid from the trolleys and telegraph
wires, and blue and white flashes of
flame were leaping wildly from water
spouts and door easements. Suddenly
the carbons within the large globes
hanging in the center of the room began
that incessant clicking heard in a tele-
graph Office, and the experienced ear of
an operator, who happened to be one of
the group, detected the fact that it was
a veritable message being transmitted in
the usual symbols. A notebook and pen
Gil were drawn and the message, which
proved to be an Associated Press dis
patch, was written out; it was the de-
scription of the Reform club banquet,
and gave the speech of Mr. Cleveland in
New York city. A telegraph and cleo
trio light wire coming together is sup
posed to have caused the phenomenon.

Eateful January.

The death of the Belgian heir to the
throne, Prince Baudouin, has revived
the old superstition concerning the fate
fulness of January for the royal family
of Belgium. The record of events that
have caused the superstition has been
increased of late years with remarkable
rapidity. In January, 1867, the Empress
Charlotte, sister of the Belgian king, be-
came insane in consequence of the shoot
ing of her husband. The kings only
son, crown prince and Duke of Brabant,
died on Jan. %, 1869. In January, 1881,
the royal castle in which the Empress
Charlotte lived was destroyed by fire.
In January, 1889, Crown Prince Rudolf
of Austria, the Belgian kings son-in-
law, was killed in the tragedy of Meyer
ling. On New Years day, 1890, the
royal castle at Laeken burned down.
"Alasr exclaimed the Belgian queen
when the news of the fire was brought
to her in Brussels, sit is this terrible
January. It always brings US misfor-
tune. New York Sun.

ON THE ITALIAN COAST.

Pale evening paused on purple peak
To greet the sun ere he sank to rest:
Her brows he kissed. and her pallid cheek.
And left blush on her dusky breast.
Then viewless lassos she softly threw
Around the necks of all living things,
Bringing them home in the twilight blue.
Amid patter Of feet and futter of wines--
Into the blue and out of the gold;
Sea birds home to their airy nests.
Lowing herds to the humble fold,
And children home to their mothers' breasts
Tonight paused on a purple peak,
When daylight died on the darkling main.
And something moistened my weary cheek
AS thoughts long dead came to life again.
But there were no lassos my birds to draw,
My birds, my herds and my children home.
The night alone and her stars saw,
And shadowy lEtna's awful dome.
o restless soul! Can nothing restore
The pride and promise of former years2
Or art thou surge on yon iron shore
Which breaks and forever disappears?

Admirals Rivals In Rhyme,

A London friend sends me quite a
pretty story anent the daughter of Sir
Edwin Arnold. She is her fathers Sec
retary and his companion in most of the
journeys round the world. During her
recent stay in Japan her majesty's China
squadron ships and the American Pacific
fleet were in the harbor of Yokohama at
the same time. Sir Edwin and his
daughter entertained the admirals of
both fleets at luncheon, and in return
were naturally invited on board the
ships. The American feet was first Wis
tied, and upon leaving the gallant Amer
ican admiral presented Miss Arnold with
q beautiful bouquet, tied with ribbons
of the ship, as a token of the respect of
himself and his officers.
This American courtesy came to the
ears of the English commander, and not
to be outdone by his American brother
he presented Miss Arnold with larger
bouquet and doubled the number of rib
bons. Then the American admiral sent
Miss Arnold few verses of his own
composition. This was going a little
further than the English officer was cap
able of, but he had some verses written
to Miss Arnold and dispatched them to
her three days afterward. The daugh-
ter then told her father, and she imme-
diately found third contestant That
same afternoon brought her another
beautiful bouquet and attached was q
card bearing the following lines:
TO MY DAUGHTER.
Oh, happy maid. whom two great flags conspire
To honor-blending rich melodious posies,
When admirals rhyme, the muse unstrings her
Tyre
To bind in pride their mayfiowers and their
roses. EDWIN ARNOLD.
