Last Nights Lecture.

The large and representative audience
that filled the Congregational church
last night must have pleased Mrs. Major
Scott, the lecturer of the evening. No
better testimonial could be offered than
was the closest attention given the fair
speaker throughout her lecture. "Sow-
ing an Reaping or What We Give to
Posterity," the title of the lecture, is
one that cannot fail to please the most
cultured and refined; and when added
to clear, distinct and almost faultless
enunciation, the pleasure of listening to
Mrs. Scott is indeed great
Another phase of the temperance
question will be discussed tonight which
will bring out another large audience to
hear the solid argument and eloquence
of Major Scott.
The lectures will be continued tonight
at the same place.

The Welsh Tin Plate Workers Looking
Westward.

LONDON, June 30.-The stoppage of
the Welsh tin-plate works has made
the operatives angry. They contend
that cessation of one week per month
would answer the same purpose and
evert distress. 1t has been decided by
the workers to send sixty of their num-
Der to America to ascertain the pros
poets for profitable employment there.
American agents are here buying the
latest improved machinery and are Of
fering over double the wages paid on
this side of the ocean.
The Times says: "Should the sixty
delegates report favorably upon the
prospects for tin-plate workers in the
United States, it is not unlikely that
there will be so large an exodus to
America as to lead to great part OF
the trade hitherto monopolized by
Wales being transferred to America
Hitherto the idea has been that it was
impossible to manufacture tin plates in
America. owing to atmospheric condi-
tions, but tin-pIate makers who accom-
panied the iron and steel institute dele
gates to America reported that there
was nothing except the want OF skilled
labor to prevent the successful manue
faeture Of tin plates In America"

House.

An Odd and Ornamental Object for the
House
A homemade, but not on that ac-
count clumsy jardiniere is made by
using a coarse cheap straw hat, and
wiring it on the edge of the brim, so
that it's bends can be controlled The
crown is pushed in little to make it
stand evenly in it's reversed position,
and the wired edges are bent first into
a square, then rounded into receptacles
for four little tumblers. BY ingenious
stitching around and across with carpet
thread, the bends can be held firmly,
and the tumblers secured in position.
A bowl of the proper size-probab
cheap fnger-bowl will be best for the
purpose-is then planted in the crown.
A supply of moss is crowded around
and into the open spaces If dry moss
is used it can be stained green with
family dye. Long handles made. of
clothes-line can be sewed to the sides,
and crossed over the top and fastened
with bow Of wide satin ribbon. This
receptacle can be used for cut flowers
in water, or the glasses and bowl can
be filled with earth, and hardy green
things planted in them 1t is good
idea when flowers are not abundant to
have tradescantia-the tough little
plant known as Wandering-J Jew-grow-
ing in the bowl in earth, and small
sprays of the same in water in the
tumblers; it will keep all the season in
the glasses by renewing the water once
week, and upon great occasions few
flowers can share the tumblers with the
living green. BY this plan the smallest
bouquet is made to cover good deal of
ground.
An appropriate support tor this jar
diniere is circular tin tray projecting
a few inches beyond it, the edge being
filled with moss. Something of the
kind may be necessary if growing
plants are used. as dampness would
strike through the straw of the hat.
Trays of tin or some other white metal
that are highly polished and stamped
with flowers are sold for ten cents each
at many hardware stores. They are
hardly elegant enough to put in an ap-
pearance among table appointments,
but concealed by the moss, they serve
very good purpose. -Harpers Bazaar.
