The Structure Of Ferns.

When Towering plants usually make
seed, that is generally the last effort Of
plant life-the seed IS the beginning OF
the life of the new plant. Ferns, how.
ever, only produce spores for reproduc.
tive purposes. These spores germinate
and go through the same process subse-
auently that flowers go through in the
production Of seeds. Tue spores expand
when the terminating time comes, and
form a fiat, green membrane, what are
then really the flowers appear on this
membrane. As a general rule, after
these fern flowers have matursd, the
membrane dries up aud disappears. IN
one family of ferns, however, natives OF
New Holland, this gresa blade is per.
manent aud continues to enlarge, be.
coming really a portion Of the plant.
Every year a new blade is formed, which
spreads over the old ones. The large
plant IS Of i totally different character,
having the fronds Of ordinary ferns.-

Whenever there is a very hisl polisl
On wooden goods it Is well to distrust
them. They have probably been tinishel
by pressing them over hot rollers or cal
enders aud a drop Of water will re move
the finish aud leave a spot. In order to
make such goods Of value they must be
sponged. In1eel there are few we ,ten
goods chat are not improved by the pro.
cess Of spoaging before they are made
up. A professional sponger seldom
charges, in the smaller cities, more than
four OF five cents q yard for this work.
In a large metropolis like New YORK
the price may be something more. II
you cannot get sponging done il any
other way, you a d. it yourself. Lay
the cloth, yard after yard, on a board
and go over It with a sponge, dipped In
cold water, till it is thoroughly and
evenly wet throughout, it neei not be
drenched. Lay il in a sheet. Two
sheets may Be necessary, if it is a very
long piece of cloth. Fold it in the fold
OF the goods as it came from the shop,
but lay a smooth piece Of the sheet be-
tween the folds. Begin to roll it at the
end and roll il up evenly and firmly in
the sheet until the cloth is al rolled up.
Let it remain over nj ght. In the mora.
ing press it on the wrong side with a
moderately hot iron until it is perfectly
smooth and ne1rly dry. Then hang it
on a eiothes-horse until it is thoroughly

Hos1itals for Leners.

The suggestion by Surgeon General
that the Government should establish
hes ital accommodation and treatment
for lepefs, is of the utmost Importance.
In his annual report the Surgeon General
calls attention to the prevalence Of lep.
rosy, particularly in the neignboring
West Indies and South America, and'to
the presence of the disease ii various
cities and localities of the United States,
and states that cases may be allowed to
exist u~adisturbed in some localities by
the health authorities because no provis-
ion is made for their segregation. What
ever theories may be advanced regarding
the contagiousness of the disease, there
is no doubt that where indifference is
manifested as to isolation it slowly
spreads, and, as no State possesses a
leper hospital, the establishment of a
national leper hospital Is recommended.
Probably the most dangerous sources
of this disease are to be found in the
Sandwich Islands, with which the Pa
ciic coast possess free and frequent
communication. It is not always easy
to detect by unprofessional observation
the presence of the disease after it has
become established, while its incipient
stages might we'll escape any but a prae-
tised eye. Lepers are brought from the
far East, not a few being smuggIed IN
from China. There should be a thor
ouzh inspection for leprous immigrants
at all the principal ports. The doctrine
SO colnnion now among medical men,
that lepresy il not contagious, is q most
dangerous one, aud is responsible for
much of the sprea1 of the disorder in
modern times. -Ne9 Orleans Pictyaxae.

Al year latter they were introduced in
the United States and Switzerland, aud

utility as drawers of heavy trains, but

63 and 65 seconds respectively. The
