NATURES BEAUTIES.
PLANTS THAT MAY BE USED
TO ADORN THE GARDEN.

How to Grow Them-some OF the Varie-
ties Which Are Preferred for Homo
Made Ponds, and How They Should Be
Cultivated.
The general title of water or aquatic
plants covers some of the most interest
ing and beautiful members of the vege-
table kingdom. For long time they
were unjustly relegated to a partial OBJ
security, but recently, owing to the efforts
of our most advanced hOrtiCulturiStS,
they have been brought before the pub
lie eye through exhibitions; by being
more literally shown in our parks and
public grounds, and, above all, by being
introduced into the pleasure grounds OF
our wealthy citizens In the City Hall
Park they are to be seen now each sum-
1ner and the jaded eye and Wearied
brain of the business man gets short
surcease from worry as he looks at the
graceful papyrus and gorgeous water
lilies in the small pond at the corner OF
Broadway and Chambers street.
Crowds of peOpe gaze rapturOusly at
the small exhibit in Central Park and
other parts of the city where they are
grown. There are q great MANY not
necessarily ornamental, but which are
admirable adapted to the purpose for
which they were created
The structural formation of al Of
them must excite admiration, and by
studying them from this point of view
we can duly appreciate the unappr3ach-
able harmony of nature, which gives to
the oak and the vine the necessary
rigidity to withstand the rude blasts
which almost perGetuaIly sweep the
bleak mountain side; which gives to the
towering palm the suppleness and ten
sile strength which allows it to bend
without breaking before the titan force
Of the less frequent tropical storm;
which places in sheltered hooks in the
forest the delicate fern and modest viO-
let. and which peoples our ponds, lakes,
rivers. aud seas with an infinite variety
Of plants both useful and ornamental.

bility, enabling them to float and sway

what would otherwise be but an often

wise economy utilities river side and pond

use to man in many ways. Want or
knowledge dcterS a great many from
cultivating these beautiful plants who
could do it successfully. There is an air
Of mystery about their development not
to be found in connection with plants
which grow on the earth's surface, and
this it is, perhaps, which causes many to
shrink from attempting their cultlVa-
ton; yet nothing is more simple.
ANY one with sufficient ground space
for a tank say 10X6 feet. and even less,
can have fine display; or failing this,
they can sink tub in the ground and
at least have some common water lilies
and aquatic grasses. A gentleman of
moderate means living in Flatbush
shows the possibilities in this line by
having a grand collection in the rear OF
his house which attracts hundreds of
visitors each summer
His tank is oval in shape, about Is

walton of these plants which will appeal
strongly to those who have to do their
own gardening is that once planted they
REQUIRE little or no care, no pulling out
of weeds or perpetual scratching, no
dragging Of water apparatus, nor con-
slant battling with industrious insects:
they are entirely outside the manly veX-
atiouS annoyances to be met with in or
binary gardening. 1t must not be in
ferred, of course, that they in any way
are capable of supplanting the beds of
plants which do so much to brighten up
the lawn and small door yard; but they
are pleasing distraction, and will repay
the cost to procure them.

made by competent surgeons to dis
lodge the cork, and O special corkscrew
instrument was devised for the pur-
pose, but the cork was too firmly i'm
bedded in the bronchial mucous mem
brane, and post-mortem showed that
this membrane had become swollen
would have been impossible except
very soon after it's entrance. 1t posi-
ton had been accurately located Not
being removed, the cork caused local
inflammation, formation of pus, blood
poisoning, heart failure and death,
after about fifteen days of patient and
courageous suffering
Foreign bodies, such as false teeth.
bones, and coins, have in some cases
remained hidden and quiet in the lungs
for several years, and been suddenly
and unexpectedly coughed up again.
So it is often a serious question what
to do-to operate or let alone. A study
Of 636 cases shows death in Al per
cent. when no operation was performed,
and in % per cent. after operation In
this late case the result of non-inter-
ference might have been better, but
probably would not have been because
the cork SO perfectly plugged tube,
and thus became very offensive for
eign body.
A bullet shot into the soft lung
tissue would be less aggravating than
a soft cork thus situated. The loca-
ton Of the cork as found at the post
norton examination is clearly shown
in the accompanying illustration, which
shows the larynx, or voice box, the
straight bronchial tube, and it's bifur-
cations and larger branches The
amount Of breathing surface cut off by
this plug could have been spared, but
the danger of doing nothing to remove
it lay in the infammatory action it
could excite. It was case in which
the choice of either policy would be
likely to make the surgeon wish he
had done the other thing instead.
The victim of this unfortunate acct
dent seems to have been needlessly
killed in the midst of life of health
and activity. His experience affords
but one less on-that is. the wisdom of
not making the mouth the handy re-
ceptacle for articles which, if inhaled,
may as surely kill as bullet shot into
the lungs; but such fatal accidents are
SO uncommon and the mouth is so gen
orally made useful in this way that it
is doubtful if the sad fate of Mr.. B.
will be of any use as warning for
more than a week and day, at all
events. When articles are inhaled
which do not fit the lung tubes so well
as a cork, as collar buttons or tacks
surgeons are often able by expert opera
tions to get them out, but such opera
tons are painful and tedious to both
patient and surgeon, and one of the
best things you eau do with button,
pin or a cork, is not to put it in your
mouth. --HeGlM Monthu.
