HINTS FOR YOUR GARDEN.

White clover and bluegrass make
the best mixture for lawn.
Buy plants of hardy perennials.
Most of them are difficult to grow
from seed.
Prune your trees now and the wound
will be quickly healed by the running
sap.
Make definite plan for your gar
den. Don't put in everything helter-
skelter.
Get a practical florists advice if you
try roses; this is a hard climate to
grow them in.
Hollyhocks do best when treated as
biennials. They are less able to stand
our severe climate after towering.
The bridal wreath is pretty shrub,
whether in flower or leaf. Don't prune
it and the slender branches will droop
gracefully with the weight of their
white foliage.
Double petunias are beautiful flow
ers and delightfully."- fragrant. Buy q
few plants, as the seed is expensive
and uncertain about growing. Single
petunias, which are also very pretty,
grow from seed like a weed. New

AN OLD SEWING MACHINE.

Blessed is the plant lover that can
count among her possessions an old
sewing machine, exclaims Anna Lyman
in the New York Independent. Mine
was gathering dust and cobwebs in
the garret, when the happy thought
suggested itself to make it into q
plant stand. The top works and large
wheel underneath we're soon taken
away, and here was q strong, pretty
looking table on iron legs with cas-
ters, the last being invaluable on zero
nights to wheel my establishment
nearer the stove. A box was made,
six inches high and somewhat larger
than the stand. This was half filed
with sand. Here 1 learned florists
secret, You notice they put their pots
on sand or soft earth and not on
dry shelf or table, rs we amateurs
generally do. SO my geraniums and
other plants were put down on the
sand, and the air was kept moist, as
plants like to have it. Tradescanti
was stuck in around the pots, making
shaded carpet. The old fashioned
green Virginia creeper has gone out,
and lovely colored leaves take its
place-striped, silvered, pink, white,
gray, bright as flowers. My stand was
grand success all winter, aud l hope
to get h"ld of another old sewing ma
chine to make fernery for my north
window. In the summer it will be
moved to the piazza, and l can have a
geranium in bloom, or some other pot
plant, and it will be grand place for
the chrysanthemums later. If l want
stands or vases for my plants, ] am
pretty sure to find some discarded
thing in garret or cellar that answers
the purpose.

The Germ OF Smallpox.

Professor Guamuri, of the Univer-
sity of Pisa, is of the same opinion rs
that published by him in 1892, viz,
that the process of postulation, both
of cowpox and smallpox, is originated
by n parasite which develops in the
epithelial cells. He has studied both
the morphology and biology of this
organism. 1t is capable of amebic
movements, which can be seen on ex-
animation of lymph taken from the
initial vesicle mt the temperature of
the human body. BY this process
Professor Guamuri has also verified
the multiplication of the parasite un-
der tine microscope, and the fact of
phagocytosis by polynucleated, leu
cocytes. With stain of gentian and
methylene, the structure of this low
organism may be studied. 1t consists
of roundish body with a clear out
line. Professor Guamuri has sue
ceeded in reproducing the parasite in
the cornea of rabbits with incubation
of the same lymph, and he has verified
the fact that no other source of irrita-
tion is capable of producing anything
of the appearance of the same parasite
in the cornea. Professor Guamuri be-
leves that it is zooparasite belong
ing to the class of rhizopode, and that
it is the cause of both cowpox and
smallpox.

Why q Wife Changes Her Name.

1t is said that the practice of the
wife's assuming the husbands name
at marriage originated from a Roman
custom, and became the common prac.
tice after the Roman occupation.
Thus, Julia and Octavia, married to
Pompey and Cicero, were called by
the Romans Julia of Pompey, and
Octavia of Ciero, and in later times
married women in most European
countries signed their names in the
same manner, but ommitted the "of. "
Against this view may be mentioned
that during the sixteenth and even the
beginning of seventeenth century the
usage seems doubtful, since we see
Katherine Parr so signing herselfafter
she had been twice married, and we
always hear of Lady Jane Grey (not
Dudley and Arabella Stuart mot
Seymour). Some persons think that
the custom originated from the Scrip
tural teaching that husband and wife
are one. 1t was decided in the case of
Bon VS.. Smith, in the reign of Eliza
beth, that a woman by marriage loses
her former name and legally receives
that of her husband. New York Tele

A Railroad of Curves

The first railroad west of the ALE,
ghanies was built from Lexington to
Frankfort, Ky, in 1881. The road
was laid out with rs many curves as
possible, the engineers declaring that
this was an advantage. The cars were
in two stories, the lower for women
and children, the upper for men, four
persons being seated in each eompart-
ment. The cars were at first drawn
by mules, but after time a locomo-
tive was made by a Lexington me-
chanic. The tender was a big box for
wood, and a ho3shea1 was provided
for water, which was drawn in buck
cts from convenient wells. In place OF
II cowcatcher there two poles in front
fitted with hickory brooms for sweep
ing the track. Lancaster Eagle.

and that in feeding hogs the man who

and that in feeding hogs the man who
feeds them will succeed with them.
In spite of the general opinion to
the contrary, some maintain that the
hog has a preference for being clean,
and cite many instances of his keep
ing one side of his pen clean if at all
encouraged or started with it clean,
etc. Here is one mans idea in regard
TO a clean pen and pure food: Every
farmer with 100 acres ought TO feed
from twenty to 100 hogs. The COM
mon way of constructing the floors
of the pens is unsuitable. If they
slope backward from the trough they
will be kept wet. That means sickly
hogs that do not thrive well. 1 pre-
fer to make the floors slant toward the
trough. Twice the profit can be made
when the animals lie dry all the while,
and besides that their health is much
better. Then the feeding trough
should have its holding capacity in
length and not in depth. 1t pays to
have them fed with good, clean feed,
which means the difference between
profit and loss, They will take the
waste from the table. 1t does not do,
as is usually the case, TO have it put
into a tub or barrel which is never
cleaned. That becomes poison. 1t
ferments and sours and makes bad
blood. With the SOW and'young pigs
taking it, the consequence is they die
before ten days old, and even little
pigs have the right to be well born.
Hogs fed on clean food should gain at
least one pound for every four and
half pounds of grain used; man can
tell whether it is paying to keep them
or put his labor to other sources of
profit. If any man feeds his hogs too
long it costs more than he can make
out of them. Western Agriculturist

TIE DANCER SIGNAL.

Whoever flndst the desire OF drinking ardent
spirits returning daily at stated times, is
warned to deny himself instantly, II he in
tends to escape confirmed intemperance.
1t is infallible evidence that you have
already done violence to nature-that the un-
dermining process is begun-that the over
worked organ begins TO flag, and cry out for
adventitious aid. with an importantly which,
II INDUCED, will become more deep-toned,
and importunate, and irresistible, unth the
power OF self-deniNl Is gone, and you are a

point between the wise who forsake danger
and hide themselves and the foolish who
pass on and are punished. He who escapes
this periodical thirst of times and seasons

within reach of this powerful attraction will
be sure to perish.

TO PREVENT TREES LEANING.

Those who have trees which have
been set one or two seasons will do
we'll to bear in mind the importance of
stalking them so that they will resist
the influence of the most frequently
prevailing or heaviest winds. Those
which have been set two years need it
as much as those which were put out
last spring, as they are likely to pre-
sent as much surface to the wind as
they have roots IN the earth. Put
down stout stake few feet from the
trunk, and then put on withe or a
strip of cloth, binding the tree to the
stake in the form of figure s, so that
the crossing of the band will prevent
any chatting of the tree-trunk against
the stake. In this way can be pre-
vented the spectacle SO often seen OF
whole orchards leaning over, showing
definitely the direction of the prevail
ing winds. If you want to have your
orchard permanent keep your trees up
straight from the start. Rural Life.

TO DEFY THE MOTH,

II you wish to defy that unpleasant
iittle animal, the moth, in packing
away your furs and woolen garments,
here are few suggestions to follow;
First, beat out all the dust from the
garment aud let it hang in the open
air and sunshine for a day. After this,
shake very hard, fold neatly and sew
up closely in muslin or linen cloths,
putting a small lump of gum-camphor
in the centre of each bundle. Wrap
newspapers about all. In addition to
these precautions, secure as packing
case whisky or alcohol barrel but
lately emptied and still strongly
scented by the liquor. Have a close
head and fit it in neatly. Then set
away in the garret. New York World.

DIR, Parkos, +. II. s., OF the Notley Hos

Chandelier OF Human Bones,

In the centre of the arched roof of
All Saints Church, Sedlitz, in Bo-
hemia, hangs a chandelier constructed
entirely of human bones. The church
in which this remarkable object is sus-
pended is decorated from the floor to
the ceiling with the blanched bones of
human bodies. Garlands of bones
stretch across the walls and hang from
the ceiling. Pyramids, topped with
golden crowns, are artistically reared
from the ground with these whitened
remains of the dead. Tho affairs are
literally covered with skulls, among
which are hundreds of those which
had been pierced by bullets or crushed
by murderous blows from swords and
other weapons, denoting that these
grim relics of humanity have been
gathered from adjacent battle6elds.
Tradition says that these piles of hu-
man bones were gathered by blind
friar of the Cistercian Order, who
stored them in "A corner of the church.
As they were fast changing into their
original elements, man named Rint
devoted himself to the task Of cleaning
and arranging them in the church.
Prince Carl, of Schwarzenberg, took
n strong personal interest in the res
toration and arrangement of the
church, and ordered all the repairs to
be done at his own expense. New
