KeniIworth Ivy.

The Kenilworth ivy is very well
known as basket plant for house
decoration. Very few understand
that it is perfectly hardy in this eli
mate, and that it will serve to orna-
ment old walls just as well as it orna-
ments the walls of the celebrated
Kenilworth abbey, from which it
takes it name. We have recently
seen some on an old wall along a
roadside, which has evidently been
on the wall for a number of years.
It was quite as beautiful as anything
seen in the Old World. -Meehan' 8

other words, if they publish the

When the Fire Went Out Fifty Years A go.
Back in the forties well to do peo
pie never had such a thing as a match
III the house. During the winter a
perpetual fire was kept in the fire
place. At bed time a good sized stick
Of wood partially consumed was
buried in the ashes with bed of
glowing Goals, and in the morning
these were raked open, wood was
thrown on and in a few minutes a
rousing fire w2s the result. Some
times, through carelessness, the fire
would go out.
The writer remembers several oc
casions when as a boy he went to a
neighbours, a third or a half mile
away, with big fire shovel in which
he brought back live Goals with which
to start fire. This was no desirable
jaunt to make on cold morning
with the wind blowing savagely. =

Keeping Warm in Russia.

A good story is told of Lord Ran
dolph Churchill's visit to Russia.
What" asked a friend of Lord
Randolph, on his return, did you
really go to Russia for9"
''To get warm, was the character
istic reply. Lord Randolph went on
to explain his paradox by saying
that the winter was abominably cold
everywhere, but that as it was colder
in Russia than elsewhere, the Rus
slams alone took proper precautions
against it. "Only in st. Petersburg,
he said, do they understand the art
of warming a house. "-London Tit

The Snring.


OF all seasons of the year, is the one
for making radical changes in re-
gard to health. During the winter,
the system becomes to a certain ex-
tent clogged with waste, and the
blood loaded with impurities, owing
to lack of exercise, close conflne-
ment In poorly ventilated shops and
homes, and other causes. This is
the cause Of the dull, sluggish, tired
feeling so general at this season, and
which must be overcome, or the
health may be entirely broken
down. Hoods Sarsaparilla has at
tanned the greatest popularity all
oyer the country as the favorite
spring medicine. 1t expels the ac-
emulation of impurities through
the bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs and
skin, gives to the blood the purity
and quality necessary to good health
and overcomes that tired feeling.
