The conservatory proper is divided into two parts tropical and temperate The system of heating. lighting and ventilating is as near erfect as could be devised All of the buildings are under glass There are nearly ,. 900 varieties and 50, GOO plants. Hundreds of very rare trop- ical plants are to be seen, as we'll as all the native or more common ly known flowers. The rose reaches its most perfect state in those grounds. On an average 100 roses day are placed in the White house. The president gets basket almost every morning for his office. Occasionally the supply runs short and something else IS substituted. A fine basket of roses decorates the White house dinner table five or six days every week. Each lady at the table receives a half dozen. and each gentleman boutonniere
 The appropriation for the White house conservatory averages about &. 900 yearly With this sum the sal aries of three men have to be paid, the house kept iii repair and soil and plants purchased. The conservatory, like the white house itself, is open to visitors All the children in the Dls- trict of Columbia have the privilege of going once year, Owing to the limited space persons who wish to in- spect it must receive permission to do SO and they are accompanied by the superintendent or guide It is one Of the attractions of Washington Stu dents of botany and Horticulture who come to the city do not feel that their visit Is complete unless they are able tO speud an hour or two there

and sought Aunt Libbie. She was al- ready up and found her in the kitchen helping Maggie.
 .Go in and watch by the old man for few minutes while get breath of fresh air" I said. He is going fast 1 think. Be quick.
 Without word she obeyed, and the door of the sick room closed be- hind her Aunt Libbie was alone with the dying tramp. For more than an hour 1 heard the murmur of the unconscious old beggar's voice inter- rupted occasionally by bitter sob from Aunt Libbie; then both ceased and all was silent
 When 1 opened the door of the lit- tie ted-r room single glance assured me that all was over with the old man and his long hopeless existence as a tramp was ended at last. Aunt Lib bie's friendly doorway had been for him the porta, to g world of eternal light
 The worn old features had become calm and tranquil once more smoothed by the soft caressing fingers Of the angel of the Lord A smile of peace and happiness had fallen upon the icy lips with the seal of deaths eter- nal silence. and the shining circle of white hair gleamed about the marble face like halo of silvery light Rest had come at last; it was with him.
 Aunt Libbie was kneeling by the bedside. with her white lips pressed to the broad. white brow whose deep furrows had suddenly been trans formed into thread-like lines by the wondrous magic of the mighty inys- tery of death. She did not stir as l entered. and when called her softly she made no answer.

"Timely Truth,o No. 8,

The latest issue of the Conn. Temper ance Union, gives the substance of an address at the State Teachers Associa- tiop, in October, 1891, by the secretary of the Union. The subject is 'Scien- tific Temperance Instruction in the Pub lie schools"
 After alluding to the importance of effort in this direction, the paper shows what the law requires, the necessity for scientific truth, not mere notions or "pious talk" states some things that should be made plain and describes the scientific method of teaching these things. It urges the use of graded text books, experiments and illustrations, and insists upon effort to 50 present the subject as to help the pupil to learn self-control. It certainly gives school boards, teachers and parents, and in deed all who are interested in education, something to think about It will be sent free on application at the Office ol the Unlon, Rockville, Conn.

AN EXCELLENT ARTIST.

The water color exhibition of Mir James Henry Moser is attracting con- siderable attention in Washington both from the variety and excellence of the work. Connecticut should feel lively interest in the artist and Corn wall in particular for he spends a part of each year in a studio on Cream Hill from whence he comes every winter with large number of most exquisite pictures. MT Moser's wife was a Miss Scoville of Cornwall, and so the state can really lay claim to him as an sdop- tad son. Certainly he has done much to make the beautiful scenes of the Housatonic Valley and the Berkshire Hills we'll known to all lovers of art at the Capital and not few of the people who visit the gallery to see his work are old residents of that section That they rejoice that the old home and haunts of their childhood are so deli cately portrayed by the artist is evident One old lady after seeking out one Connecticut picture after another ex- clalmed: How do love all this coun- try"
 One picture much admired is 8 "Home on the Housatonic;" and the "MeetiDg House in Blossom Time" car ries one back to spring in New Eng land, when the trees were filled with the beautiful blossoms that gave prom ise of such rich harvest. Lake Wash ining'' and Cornwall Lake" are two charming pictures; the latter was quickly sold and will adorn a Washington home. A bit of pasture from the studio win- dow with tho hot sun shining on grass and stubble shows the artists skill in putting such delusive thing as sum- shine in picture. A dainty study of his own bright, little daughter "Lydia" gives a glimpse of part of the artists family.
 MT Moser must be something of a wizard to charm all the varying moods of nature into his pictures with such f. delity, and surely he must be a juggler in the art of choosing his subjects fo, they are universally pleasing. He has not forgotten the Capital in his work and some scenes from Virginia, Wash ington and the surrounding country are shown. One view of Glen Echo and the Potomac from Mrs Harrison's lot ii among his collection, but the most ot his pictures are from the old Nutmeg state, and Connecticut should be proud of the artist who labors with such zea and skill to perpetuate her beauties b, the magic of his brush.

A French Will Case.

A strange case of change of fortune has lately occurred in France. The Count de Ia Boussiniere, who had been transported to the penal colony at Cay enne in 1851, and afterward passed many years in poverty in Geneva. was placed in possession of large property two years ago by the will of an older brother. He received soon after an anonymous letter stating that the will under which he held the estate was a forgery He placed the letter in the hands of the police and investigation es- tablished the fact that the anonymous writer told the truth. Consequently 8 will made by the Counts brother giving his property to his late wife's nephew and niece took effect, and the old Count was obliged to resume his life of pov- erty. The forger of the will, who was arrested, had hoped to collect good sum of the count as hush money.
