Eben Il. Rexford in practical article
in Ladies' Home journal, explains in
detail how the palm can be successfully
cultivated lin the house,. In summar-
izing the essential points to be observed
he says: 1.-The hot, dry air % the liv-
ing-room lacks that vital principle
which the air of the greenhouse had
in it, and encourages the development
Of insect enemies which rapidly sap
the impoverished life-bl0od of the
palm. 1t will be understood from this
that it is necessary to modify the con-
ditions characteristic of the living
room as much as possible. The air
must be moistened by the evaporation
of water about the plant, or by the APP
plication Of it to its foliage. Fresh air
must be Admired. to take the place Of
that whose vitality has been burned out
Of il by too intense heat. The plant
must have a place near the window
where direct light can exert its bene-
fetal effect on the soil. Care must be
taken to give only enough water to keep
the soil moist. Good drainage must be
provided also"

A Horrible Superstition.

About month ago, while the natives
of Klein-Batanga, in the German pos
sessions In Africa, were assembled at a
dance, two negroes sneaked into one of
the huts, stole small child, carried her
into the bush and there murdered her
that they might prepare from her skin
a charm against attack from leopards.
The mother did not rest until she had
ferreted out the murderers, and they
are now very dead men.

Notes About Pixs.

Don't grow scrubs on account OF the

t4tand roughing as well as the scrub, II

does the scrub give profit.
1t is not necessary to set rings as
deep as they can bc in ringing pigs; it
is barbarous to do It. We know Of a
lot Of nice shoats being ringed that
way last spring that were ruined.
Their noses became sore, and some of
them literally rotted Off. In another
lot the pigs noses got so sore that they
did no good. and the rings had to be
taken out By not setting the rings so
deep, probably none of them would
have been injured.

8 PRESIDENT CLEvELAND's message
is a5lengthy affair and gives the reader
an impression that the present chief
executive was fully aware that the oc-
casion was the last which would be
offered him to attract public attention.
The Cuban situation is discussed at
length and while it is evident that the
president is trying to straddle the
fence, his essay shows the conditions
on the island to be much worse for
Spain than most people have supposed.
He makes a feeble attempt to
straighten the tariff middle but it
comes with poor grace when one re-
members his former utterances on this
subject. One Of his most important
recommendations is the retirement of
the green backs.

ii the number is increased, the result

Ion long been known that the corps Of ex-

themselves in the woods. To send
such men as these to estimate the

ervation was to waste not only the SIS
per diem of each man but much valua-
bic time as well. It is amusing now to
hear Of charges filed BY Duluth's ex-

way to cast a slur on some Of It's neigh
