One That Is Ornamental and Cannot Bs
 Tipped Over.
 The usual boxes set in windows on a broad shelf or bench have mani fest disadvantages, inasmuch as they are liable to be tipped over and to warp with the constant wettings neces- sary for the growth of the plants in them. Then, too, if more water is used than the earth will absorb kind- ly, there will be the drip, drip-drip- ping so trying to careful Martha's soul. The illustration given here does away with all these difficulties. It is fitted to the window sill and supported by strong iron brackets, and is vir. tually immovable. A zinc tank is fitted into the box and prevents any leakage at all. It can be made easily at any tinsmith's and with small ex. pense. It is well to have the sides of the box widened out into shelves for the accommodation of any small pots

RECEPTION TO MIR. HARRISON,
The Guest of the Union League Club of
 San Francisco Ills Remarks.

san FranclscO-Hls Remarks.
 SAN FRANCISCO, April 12-The Union League club gave reception last night to ex-President Harrison. All the prominent republicans of San Fran cisco attended. In the course of his speech, he said; "I feel happy to see that have not lost the respect of my fellow countrymen. A man should be able to go out of office like that l had 1t in my heart day and night as great burden, as responsi. bility never lifted, that must do all l could in the four years to raise my fel- low citizens little higher. Individu. als do not count for much in this age of great movements Men may come and men may go, but the constitution and the flag hold the love and allegiance of the people continually Principles in politics in administration are every. thing. Itwas not at all necessary that l should be chosen president again, but of the highest importance that repub. lican principles in legislation and ad- ministration should have succession. "
 MT. Harrison referred to the distress prevailing in the country and said that it was necessary to have tariff for the workingman. "Keep American mills open" he said, ''and do not shut them"
 The ex-president said it was strange there should be so much distress now, and cried: "Whoever has done it, or however it came about it is un-Ameri- can and should be repudiated by the people"
 MT. Harrison concluded his speech with the remark: "This Is the longest political speech I have made since l left Washington, but I don't believe that an ex-president should be a polit- ical deaf mute. He is, however, under a certain restraint and should not be political gossip" 's&1E

 CHICAGO, April 13.-The lockout Of the building trades, which occurred to-day, was not so general as was ex. pected, but was large enough, no less than 10, 900 men being thrown out of work suddenly and added to the great mass of unemployed. The boss build CTS claimed that 60,000 employees would be affected, but there was a lack of harmony among the employers and the lockout was not general
 The workingmeu claim that the movement is failure and many of the boss builders are of the same opinion but others say that the lockout will be. come general before the week is over
 No man affiliated with trade union will be taken back to work until gen eral agreement is reached that the unions will consent to an arbitration of all differences growing out of the schedules which the bosses have re- fused to sign. It is intimated that the cause of the local master builders may be taken up by the other associations throughout the country, thus embrac' ing all the principal cities in the lock' ont

The Name of Turner.

Not every Turner owes his name to a lathe-working ancestor, for, as Mir. Davies wrote in his account of the York press, ''the elaborate initial and capital letters and foreated marginal borders were invented and drawn by the turnours and fourishers,7 and it is highly probable that they made their impress on the nomenclature of pos terity. MT. Lower says that "those who dislike the plebeian tournure of Turner have contrived to turn it into Turnoure," on the plea that they came from some Tour Noir in Normandy. He states that Turner is one of the most common of surnames, and in- clines to agree with MT. Ferguson that the popularity of journeys or tourna- ments had much to do with it--Notes and Queries.
