New York World.
Mr. William Saunders, the superintend-
ent OF the national gardens aud grounds
At Washington City. has made q careful
study OF the subject of house plants.
Every woman aspires 10 some floral deco
ration OF her home, whether il be q con-
servatory or . window row of potted
geranIums.
According TO Mr.. Saunders, not many
fine towering plants will grow and bloom
ia perfection in the dry air Of an ordinary
living room. Living rooms are warm
enough, usually. for plant culture. and the
soil may be kept in the requisite state OF
moistness, but the lack of moisture in the
air will make itself felt in the growth of
plants.
But the plants which suffer most ara
those having the largest leaves, because
they present greater surface for evapora-
ton than smaller foliaged plants; hence il
Is judieious to select the latter, as far as
they are desirable for room culture, as
being more likely to remain healthy
under the circumstances. In the ABB
sence of any speeial provision
selection OF plants may he made which
require only minimum amount of
smaller forms of the cactus family. The
night-biooming cereus does we'll in
room, although not so well adapted al
some others on account of its heightened
stems and the space they occupy. The
fiat-stemmed epiphyllums. or crab cacti,
as they are sometimes called, make fine
room plants, and bloom profusely with
ordinary care.
There are various species of oxalis, or
wood sorrel, which are exceedingly well
adapted for room culture. They are usu-
ally very prolific in flowers. they are
mostly tuberous-rooted, and the leaves in
dictate maturity of the bulbs by turning
yellow and fading; they can then be set
out in the garden. and again lifted and
placed in the pots toward autumn. Among
the best Towering kinds may be mentioned
Oxalis bowel. oxalis versicoioT Oxalis
rosea and Oxaiis nava.
The Cyclamen persicum is popular
winter towering plant. Oflate years many
fine varieties of this species have been pro-
dueed, some Of them having a delightful
fragrance They naturally flower during
the winter and early spring. One
of the best room plants for winter
flowers is the Chinese primrose
especially the varieties which have
double flowers. they keep in bloom for
months. They are somewhat difficult to
preserve during the summer. but will
generally succeed when set in a
shaded position. keeping them In the
pots, and watering only when very
dry. They require 10 be watered with
care at all times. II kept too wet
the stems will decay; hence the soil
for them should be of a porous character,
and the drainage in the pots should he
perfect, so that when water is given the
surplus will readily run off The single
varieties are best managed when treated
as ANIMALS; that is, a supply OF young
plants is raised from seeds which are sown
in The autumn.

How Grant Showed His Gratitude.

The statue of Gen. Rawlins, who was
chief of staff of Gen. Grant, stands on
Pennsylvania avenue near the corner
of Ninth street, where it was erected
by his comrades of the Grand Army of
the Tennessee. The body of the great
soldier, the earnest patriot, the true
friend, was laid to rest in Congress
sional cemetery several years ago.
Gen. Grant paid the funeral expenses
of Gen. Rawltns out of his own pocket
and bought the lot in Congressional
cemetery where the body lies, as Gen.
Rawlins left his family entirely with
out means. Mrs. Rawlins remarked
shortly after and moved west, and is
now in good circumstances. When it
was discovered that Gen. Grant had
borne the funeral expenses fund was
raised to reimburse him, but he re-
fused to accept it, and the money went
to pay for the monument which now
stands over the grave.
This generosity on the part Of Gen.
Grant is not surprising to those who
are familiar with the facts of unwrit-
ten history. Gen. Rawlins was not a
military genius, but he was the friend
ind master of Grant when that mill
tary genius needed both friend and a
master. But for his faithful friend
Raw1ins the career of Grant would
have come to an untime1y end on ac-
count of his abnormal appetite for
strong drink. Gen. Rawlins saved
Grant from the demon of alcohol; and
Grant saved the country from dismem-
berment.

to advantage. Then after they are
properly secured, make the job still
more complete by running strand of
wire from the top of the second fence

this as tight as may be. This method
of bracing gate posts is simple and at

She said that at the funeral of
Col. Baker, the Oregon ex-senator who
was killed at Balls Bluff, the wife of
President Lincoln wore a lilac silk
dress, with lilac silk bonnet and gloves
to match. OF course such brilliant
costume worn by the wife of the presi-
dent to the funeral of so distinguished
a man attracted universal attention
and universal condemnation. A lady
friend of Mrs. Lincoln called at the
white house with the kindest intent to
advise her of the improperly of dress
ing in such startling manner, and in
the vestibule of the white house Mrs.
Lincoln met her and exclaimed:
SCI am so glad you have come, am
just as mad as can be. Mrs. Critten-
Gen has just been here to demonstrate
with me for wearing my lilac suit to
Col. Bakers funeral. / wonder if the
women of Washington expect me to
mufle myself up in mourning for every
soldier killed in this great war" The
lady here said: ''But, Mrs. Lincoln, do
you not think black more suitable to
wear at a funeral because there is a
great war in the nation?" 'No,
don't. I want the women to mind
their own business I intend to wear
what please" SMITH d. Fry.
