HOUSE PLANTS.

There are some homes which dis
tinctively impress themselves on the
minds of the visitors as being aboGes
of artistic refinement and comfortable
elegance. They need not be extrava-
gantly furnished, and yet there Is
something about them that appeals to
the incest sense as soon as the front
door is opened. When called upon to
ana1yze this peculiar beauty itresolves
itself into the conclusion that such
place is better and sWeeter than 9TH
ers, because at every turn one meets
with bits of living green that serve to
make it peculiarly attractive. Where
the stairs turn is set a plump little
jar, with a growing palm that spreads
out it's inviting leaves to the one who
journeys upwards. In the hall near the
settle is rubber plant, bright and
CHEEKY, it's greenness seeming to smile
a welcome TO the visitor, and on the
dining room table in a neat little sill
yer circle are few ferns that breathe
the beauty Of the summer woods thro'

comes a touch of beauty that the cost
Hest bit Of brio a. brac of the most ex-
pensive painting never produces.
Window boxes filed with the quaint

SONS give an air of CHEEKY comfort to
room that leaves it's impression up
on the mind of all those both inside
and outside of the apartment. Though
rigid economy must needs be practic-
ed the Introduction OF a single plant
will give an air Of luxury, and if to
this is added blithe little canary in
his cage, there will come that "hom-
ey'' feeling that can not be defined,
but which makes itself SO keenly felt.

The advantages Of washed and I'M
washed butter are being discussed in
England. Too much washing is admit
ted to injure the flavor, but little wa
ter is generally used. The Swedish
and Danish butter makers who sup
ply the English market, get all the
butter milk from the butter by re-
peated pressure. This requires great
deal of work, while washing the but
ter simplifies the matter greatly. Some
of the best English dairymakers new
er use water. In this country we be-
ieve, the use Of it is universal. Our
dairymen may learn something from
the discussion, which may give them
some ideas on the subject.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the There is only
one way to cure deafness, and that is by con-
stitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by
an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is in
famed you have a rumbling sound or imper
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infam-
nation can be taken out and this tube restor
ed to its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh which is nothing but an
lnfiamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
we will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case OF Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

ORIGIN OF THE CHRISTMAS
FESTIVAL.

The Christmas festival seems TO
have first been devoted to the child
rem in Germany and the north Of Eu-
rope. Here ST. Nicholas, o real per
sonage lived, bishop in the time of
Constantine, and died December, 6th,
343. For time Christmas was here
celebrated on the sixth Of December,
but later transferred to December %,
to correspond with the practice in
other countries. The patron saint Of
the children, known as ST. Nicholas
in Germany, is called Santa Claus in
Holland, and Samiklaus in Switzer-
land. In Austria he is known as Nix
10 or Niglo, land is followed by a mask
ed servant called Krampus; while in
the Tyrol ne goes by the name Of
Holy man, and is accompanied by ST.
Lucy who is the girls saint, and also
sometimes by little girl represent
ing the Christ child At times ST.
Nicholas is accompanied by masked
bugbear who carries rods for the
naughty children, instead Of presents
The Christmas tree III its present re
lation TO this festival origina ted with
the Germans, but q similar ceremony
was much earlier connected with pa
gan rites of a different kind. In the
Protestant districts of Germany,
Christmas is celebrated with to
Christmas trees very much as with u !,
by the giving Of presents betwee
parents and children, and brothe-s
and sisters, and a mora SOBER soeno
often follows the Christmas tree whe
the mother takes occasion to tell the
while the father tells the
sons, what has been most praisewor
thy in their conduct, and also those
things Of the opposite nature.-EG

Sunlight.

Apropos Of the effect Of exposure to
sunshine in destroying microbes, Mrs.
Percy FARMLAND, in Longman's, notes
the interesting fact that exact expert
ments como tied in the lake of Geneva
to ascertain by means of Photographic
plates the depth to which the suns rays
penetrated showed that they did not
reach beyond 553 feet, at which depth
the intensity of the light is equal to that
(which is ordinarily observed en- clear
but moonless night.

Your true friend will tell you of
your faults and endeavor to have you
mend them. The fellow who wants
to use you will scout the idea OF you
having faults until his purposes are
gained, then he will say you are a
fool. Truth is plain, blunt sort of
chap who makes few friends, but
fattery is an excel nt fellow, who
makes a friend Of everybody.

The Ladies' Literary club met in their
rooms on Friday to mark out the course
OF study for the coming year and to elect
officers. At meeting not long ago Mrs.
Royle had suggested the club choose
white and green for their colors. 1t was
agreed upon and on Friday she and Miss
Matte Royle had decorated the room
beautifully with those colors. AS each
lady came in a bunch of white and green
flowers was pinned upon the corsage, a
pretty appreciation of the accepted sug-
gestion.
The election resulted in the selection of
Mrs. Ferdinand j Fabian as president,
a lady who will undoub tedly fill the chair
with ability, as she is broad-minded and
liberal, quite able to see both sides OF
question. Mrs. William r. Wightman as
vice president, will assuredly make a
most capable assistant. Miss Georgia
Weber was made recording secretary
q very competent little lady. Mrs. Nc

tary, and will be very efficient officer

was recognized as an able historian by a
