Cold Water Injuries Plants.

Guard against the application of cold
or hard water to the roots of plants, and
especially in the winter months, when
there has been a heavy fall of snow, hail
or cold rains. The water in the tanks
then becomes very much too cold. This
may not be noticed in the ordinary
course of things, and the plants are sure
to suffer check at the roots that, in the
case of camellias, for instance, would
be quite sufficient to cause bud dropping.
l am always very careful that the water
in our tanks is few degrees warmer
than the house in which the plants are
growing. This is very important in sue
cessful plant culture.
We are apt to say sometimes on be-
holding a sickly plant-one mildewed or
with rust on the foliage-that it must
have been subjected to a draft or cur
rent Of cold air, whereas the probable
cause was the use of cold water, which
paralyzed the roots. Proof of this may
easily be seen by giving one or two ap-
plications of cold water to winter Gu
cumbers or kidney beans when setting
their pods.-Exchange

BALLAD OF A JESTER.

When boards were brown that now are frore,
Above the salt used to sit:
Now, at lifes feast, am no more
Than yon poor dog that turns the spit.
could go mad to think Of it;
Although forever in mine ears
Rings an old rhyme that once was writ,
"'Twill matter naught in fifty years.
When fiagons with Rhine wine ran DER,
And tongues wagged fast. and lamps were lit,
I"set the table in u roar
With many shaft of wanton wit;
The king would cry in boist'rous fit.
While walls and roof tree rang with cheers,
Good cousin, never heed the hit,
Twill matter naught in fifty years"
loved maid in days of yore,
And thought to win the saucy chit,
Despite the "motley suit" | wore;
(Alack, how far my fancies hitD
The damsel cared for me no whit,
And got nanght but japes and jeers
That chafed me like jennet's bit,
Twill matter nought in fifty years.
Head weary am and heartsore:
meet cold welcomes, and submit
Like him that hath not paid his score,
The tapster will no more admit.
Life's raveled threads the fates unknit,
And soon, with fardels and with tears,
And cap and bells / shall be quit;
Twill matter nought in fifty years.
Friends, though the grave gapes like a pit,
And mirth takes wing when grief appears,
Bear bravely what the heavens permit;
Twill matter much in fifty years.
j. Redfearn Williamson in Temple Bar.

Ordering His Own Tombstone.

A countryman called on sculptor in
Tilsit and ordered tombstone in the
shape of cross, and gave full instruc-
tions as to the lettering and the date of
the decease and promised to fetch it
away himself. He failed, however, to
turn up at the day appointed, and the
sculptor wrote to remind him of his
promise. The other day the man turned
up at last, but said that he wanted the
date erased. On being asked his reason
for the strange request the countryman
answered that gypsy woman had told
him that he would die on the day which
he had ordered to be inscribed on the
cross; the prophecy had not, however,
come true, and he now wanted to take
away the monument, but without the
date.-Deutsche Warte.

The wide discrepancy in the
coljectures of the New York press
about the aggregate OF the fortune
left by jay Gould shows that Mr..
Gould and his family have kept
their own counsel III the matter.
The Commercial Advertiser has it
iii one place that he was the rich
est man on earth and that he left
| $3.50, 100000 behind him. 1n
another place they estimate his
fortune at S65, 100000 The
World estimates it at $50, 100000,
the Tribune thinks that 500, ,O00,-
600 is the outside figure and gives
an estimate of his holdings of rail
road properties to prove it, and
Mr.. Washington Connor, his life
long friend and broker, asserts that
it is less than that figure. The
probability is that Mr.. Gould's
fortune has always been less than
the public has estimated it, and
that it is less than hundred mil
lions. This leaves quite num-
her of people in this country and
Europe with more money than he.
The actual values of railroad pro-
perties which are continually fuc-
tuating is matter of guess work,
while the capitalist who has his
money invested III government
bonds or income paying real estate,
can be pretty closely summed up.

Naval Militia.
The development of a naval militia
which has been organized in eight states
and brought into cordial and cooperative
relations with the navy, is another i'm
portant achievement. There are now en-
listed in these organizations 1.sO0

Paving Streets with Cork.

A material which is being satisfac-
torily introduced for paving streets is
composed of granulated cork and btu
men pressed into blocks, and which are
laid like bricks or wood paving, the spe-
cial advantage secured being that of
elasticity. In roadways it furnishes a
fine foothold for horses, and at the same
time does away to great degree with
the noise which commonly accompanies
city traffic. In Australia this method
has been resorted to with excellent re-
sults.-New York Sun.
