some quick steps come into the Thir-
teenth street entrance. They were
short, quick steps, and sounded in the
hall. A moment later l saw light in
Harry's room. 1t shone through the
transom into my room. The rooms
are just opposite, across the hall, and
the light could shine right in. That
was all heard until later in the night.
Harry came and rang the bell. He
said, Don't you know that something
has happened? 1 asked him what
time it was, and he said it was half
past three. 1 don't know what time
it was except as he told me. He said,
Miss Ging's been murdered. She was
found out beyond Lake Calhoun, stone
dead ?"
II asked him to come into my fiat,
and he came in a little while. My
wife was out in the hall almost as
soon as 1 was there. Harry came in
and sat there while. Then he asked
me to go over to his fat l didn't
want to go, but finally went, and Har-
ry asked me to sit down, saying he
was tired. AS soon as we got In
there he opened his trunk and took out
his Colts revolver. He then took the
cleaning rod and dropped the cylinder
and dropped the cartridges out. Then
he cleaned it all, both the chambers
and the BARREL
Adry was shown the revolver in evil
dence, and said that it was just like
Harry's, if not the identical one. He
had noticed that the revolver was very
| clean, and that if it was soiled it was
so slightly that it was scarcely per-
ceptible on the cloth, which was drop
ped in the water closet.

An English ROSarian.

Interview with Dean Hole in the New
York Commercial Advertiser.
American roses are the equals Of our
finest English roses. The difference, OF
course, comes in ours being grown out
of doors and yours in hot houses. The
dean had visited three of the noted
New Jersey rose farms, and was en-
thusiastic over the perfection he found
there. And the American love for flow
ers impressed him. He sid he expect
ed the universal wearing of them in
the Southern states, but not in the far
North. Every street corner" he con-
tinued, clears its great burden of flow
ers, and women crowd to buy. Every

Now to the practical side. What do
you do to yours?''
well, the two climates are so diff
ferent that no plan of mine would be
of practical value to women here. Still
a few ideas fit anywhere.

The doctor considers his method of
burning clay excellent. He keeps all
prunings, bones and vegetable matter
together and makes them into a fire,
putting an old tree stump on top.
This he covers with clay, renewing it
as the fire breaks through; suppresses
the flames, and after burning a fort

The Lily of the Valley.

A well-grown lot of lily of the valley
is seldom seen out Of doors, and when
these plants have any place at all in
the garden they are usually relegated
to some out-of-the-way corner, where
the roots of shrubs and trees appropri-
ate the nutrition they need, so that
there is only a meager exhibit of flow
ers in May, when there ought to be an
abundance of strong spikes. For some
reason there seems to be a prevalent
idea that imported German forcing
crowns are not hardy in the open
border in the Eastern states. This mis-
taken notion is due to the fact that
they are generally used III greenhouses,
but no more suitable crowns could be
obtained for outdoor planting than
these specially prepared German
crowns if they can be had early enough
in the fall to be planted in the beds
prepared for them. The situation of
the bed is, perhaps, the most important
point for insuring success; fully eX-
posed, hot, dry situations are to be
avoided or failure is sure to follow.
| The beds should have a position where
they are shaded through the heat of
the day by overhanging trees or
building, or even a fence is sufficient
to. break the force of the midday sun
in the heat of midsummer.

Favorite Holiday Flowers.

Garden and Forest, New York.
Christmas gifts supplied by florists
this year consisted almost entirely of
boxes of cut flowers, violets and roses
being the favorites. Large, deep-col-
ored Marie Louise violets, their long
stems allowing loose, graceful arrange
ment, sold for as much as s. hum
bred. Roses cost from s. to SIS a
dozen, an extra quality of American
Beauty commanding the outside price
of IS each. Lilacs at Is to so cents a
spray, tulips at 81 a, dozen, large
snowy heads of Poinsettia at % cents
each, and Stevia at so cents for a small
bunch, were specialties of the holiday
season. Carnations were plentiful and
cheap; some we'll cultivated specimens
Of William Scott, measuring two and a
half inches across, brought the extreme
price of 81 a dozen. The orchid season
is now fairly begun, and cut blooms of
Cattleya at 50 a dozen, and Cypripe-
dunn insigne at 81 a dozen, were in
good supply. Fruited plants of Cycla-
mems and of Chinese primroses in Or
namental baskets found considerable
favor. But the most beautiful and the
most costly were luXuriantly flow
cred plants of Heath, their foliage al
most hidden under the myriad of tiny
bells, and a few extra early pink and
white aZaleas.

in living rooms is the trouble watering
causes, great watchfulness being re-
quired all the time that, when watering
them, some of the water does not get
from the pots to the carpet and other
places where 1t ought not to. Saucers
are usually employed to catch what
water passes through the poes, but
these are not convenient articles to
use, though better than nothing at all.
The window box, now being much used
in cities, is great improvement. 1t
is simply box made to fit window
ledge, table or stand where plants are
required. 1t only differs from an ordi-
nary box in being zinc lined. 1t need
not be lined all the way up the side;
just an inch or two is sufficient, enough
to catch the water from the pots being
all that is necessary. l have seen
boxes of this kind filled with earth and
then planted with Towering plants, but
this is not as advisable as the growing
of the plants in pots and placing the
pots in the box. The box having no
drainage, water can not get away, and
it soon sours the SOIL rendering it
unfit for plant growth. In regard to
the kind of plants for windows, we find
| many persons desire to keep over win
ter their pets of the previous summer
which have done service in their flower
ing beds. Besides these, some of the
Towering bagonias, such as rubra,
fuschioides, saundersi and incarnata,
are good. For leaf only, Dracaenas
and Crotons are excellent A creeping
plant, Panicum variegatum, is excel
lent for hanging over the sides, to-
gether with Spider-wort and Wander
ing Jew. Sweet Alyssum is very salts
factory, blooming all the time. Bulbs
will be wanted for their beauty and
fragrance, also Libonia, Linum, Cen
ista, Stevia, carnations, Chinese prim-
roses, Gala, roses, English double dali
sizes, pansies and many other plants
noted for winter Towering. One of
these zinc or tin-lined boxes would
prove a boon to those who want plants
indoors, but do not want trouble from
dripping water.

DEATH IN A SNOW DRIFT.
Lyons, N. ", School Teacher
Victim of the Blizzard.

Lyons, N. ", School Teacher II
Victim of the Blizzard.
LYONS, N. Y, Feb. 11.-Mrs. Davis,
tho teacher of the district school,
three miles north of this village, was
found this morning frozen to death in
a snow bank, where she had lain since
Friday morning. The teacher board
ed with Trustee William Barrett, two
miles from the school house, and, on
account of the storm Thursday, de-
cided to stay over night in the school
house. On Friday morning a neigh
Dor sent some food, but found the
school house locked. Friday evening
another neighbor went to the school
house, but found it locked. She fol-
lowed the footsteps for some distance,
but concluded that the teacher had
gone to a neighbor'S.
No tidings of the missing woman
having been heard, a searching party
was organized this morning, and about
a mile from the school house her body
was found lying in a snow drift by
fence. Her feet had caught in the
fence, and her head was upon the
ground. 1t is believed that she started
for her boarding house through the
blizzard Friday morning, and in at
tempting to climb the fence either got
her feet caught in the rails or was
blown by a gust of wind, and was I'M
able to rise. She was about twenty
five wears old.

Eugene ]. Hickey, of Bayonne, N. j.,
awoke one morning about year ago to
discover that, during his sleep, he had
lost his robust baritone voice. When
he awoke he could scarcely utter a
sound. The affiiction astonished him
and his friends, but they all thought it
would not trouble him more than a day
or two. AS time passed there was no
apparent change. and Hickey consulted
surgeons. They experimental to no
purpose, and he used remedies without
result. Gradually, however, he became
able by concentration of will power and
physical exertion to speak in husky
whisper.
One morning this week Mr. Hickey
awoke to find that while asleep he has
experienced another change. His once
robust voice had returned with it's old
time power, and he could talk with as
much freedom and as clearly as in the
days before his affiiction. He is so
elated that he intends to entertain his
friends at an early date with an out
