How to Light a Pipe.

keep a match ablaze long enough
to light my pipe. After a half
dozen matches had fared out in
the lighting of them, l made some
remarks apropos of my failure.
"Let me show you how to do
it, said my companion, an old Cal
ifornian, who was handling the
bow paddle. Hand me a bit of
that newspaper sticking out of
YOUR pocket

umpled it into wad, which he

both hands about it to shield it

to me and it as pipe-lighter equal

Popularity of the Bicycle.

Some definite idea of the growth of the bicycle business in this country may be gained from the fact that whereas the total number of bicycle manufacto- ries in the United States was but six in 1885, with an output of only 1000 wheels, and in 1890 but IT, with an output of 10000, at the present time there are 126 factories, which will make an aggregate of nearly or quite half a million machines this year. The in crease ill the last five years has been nothing short of marvellous, and it is probable that the next five years will see very great advance upon the pres ent product of these fast multiplying concerns. And now that bicycling is be- coming so much more general than hith- erto there is added reason why we should improve our country roads. If road reform was necessary five years ago, it is far more necessary and desira- ble now.-Providence Journal.

The Oleandcr.

The oleander is surely thing of great beauty. No plant is easier to manage, tho flowers are so pretty in both form and col or and possess a fragrance of their own, therefore making it most desirable in ev- cry respect.
 The plant will thrive and bloom in al- most every kind of soil The best results, however, arc obtained by using good, rich leaf mold. While growing it requires an abundance of water, and when about to bloom should be given waterings of liquid manure occasionally. This will insure an abundance of large, perfect and brilliant flowers.
 It may be set in tho open ground in spring and in the fall dug up, carefully Keeping as much dirt as possible about the roots; placed in . tub and then trans fcrrod to the cellar for the winter.
 This plant is so easily grown that no flower lover should be without it, all they require being good soil and liberal water Ing when needcd.-Detroit Free Press.
