HEATING PLANT WINDOWS.

On cold nights people having win.
dows full of plants get apprehensive.
They get ont an oil stove and let il
burn all night in the room where the
plants are kept, 1t gives no smoke or
smell and they fancy it does no harm.
Flame, even if clear and without
smoke, must give out productions of
combustion, and these are fatal to
plants. What then shall we do? Have
a tall chimney to your oil stove. Not
little glass thing, but sheet iron
chimney six feet high, or as high as
the top of the room. and connect it
with the chimney or let it go through
the roof of the bay window. Such a
sheet iron chimney will radiate a great
deal of heat so that the products of
combustion will escape almost cold.
This Is the theory of all the oil heat
ing stoves-a large heating surface
above the flame. But the important
point is, that such stoves should have
n connection with the outer air, or
with the house chimney. New Eng.

men of high character. Nobility will
tell upon the outward aspect. The
carriage of the figure, the pose of the

come to reveal more and more with
the lapse of time the inner life. There
is something more than mere pretty
sentiment intended in that part OF
''The Little Minister" where we read
OF the beautiful face that God gives to
all who love Him and follow His com.

Eskimo Mother and Baby.

The Eskimo are very fond of their
children. There are seldom mauy of
them in one family, aud those that are
are very well taken care OF, according
to an Eskimo's notion, which, of
course, quite fits an Eskimo baby.
They seldom cry, aud lie around aud
suck blubber with great contentment
all day long. Sometimes n very fond
mother will make for her baby a queer
kind OF candy. There is a certain
great bird which the men shoot when.
ever they get chance, and which has
bright red feet. The mother Will cut
off these feet, and draw ont the bones,
and by blowing into the skin iuhato it
to its utmost capacity. Then she will
fill the little red case with marrow,
and tie it up for an extra good gift to
her baby. The youngsters like thia
queer candy as we'll as our children
like chocolate creams, which, to be
sure, arc not half SO pretty to look ut.
When an Eskimo baby dies, his
father and mother grieve over him
very sincerely. Ono Arctic traveller
tells of n mother who brought her
child with her to the United States.
1t died on the voyage, and the mother
was unconscious for moro than day
nfteRward. The baby wNs buried in a
little New England cemetery, and, ac-
cording to Eskimo custom, his play
things were laid on the grave. Among
other things was littlo tin pail,
which sailor had given the child,
and somo naughty little American
child stole it from the grave. The
mother was inconsolable. Chicago

HOW TO COOK AsrAFAars.

adding lump of coffee sugar, an egg
spoonful of butter and tablespoonful
of sea salt. Let the asparagus lie as

to twenty-five minutes. Take out with
tongs or wire spoon and lay upon a
hot wire strainer on the stove, then
place it upon toast in the serving dish
with appropriate sauces; appropriate,

to the asparagus. Asparagus should
have no dressing of distinct flavor
except it be sauce Hollandaise or sauce
coquette; because the result desired is
to preserve the delicious flavor of the
vegetable over and above all, and tie

FASHION NOTES.

The very pointed bodice is a revival
of an old time fashion.
Asparagus fern is a particularly
decorative house plant.
Many hats are trimmed solely with
ribbon, not a quill nor a plume being
used.
A gold golf stick with a perfect
pearl ball is the latest fashionable
scarfpin.
The really modish girl adopts one
flower as her own, and never wears
any other.
Corduroy and many other ribbed
materials are being used a great deal
in making up nobby fall suits.
Some of the prettiest autumn capes
are OF dark brown broadcloth, edged
with sable and trimmed with brown
cord.
1t is the fashion to wear the most
unnatural-looking birds on hats. Some
of them are a combination of four or
five different species. The tails of
two kinds are combined with the wings
of a third and the head and breast of
a fourth. Mixtures of feathers are
also used, such as the plumage of
birds OF paradise and ospreys, and
owls heads With ieweled eyes and
black and white Quilla.

A Hundred Miles an Hour.

An electrical engineer has been ex-
hibiting in London the model Of his
proposed single rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on V-shaped trestle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
it were, runs astride of it. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels, and
seats 135 passengers, with space for
then baggage. One of the dificulties
met with in schemes for excessively
high speed travel 10 the tendency Of
the car to run of the track. BY run
ming the rail within the car the lateral
tendency of the train is overcome.
But in this late scheme the great diff
hculty seems to be the passenger.
What would happen to the passenger
when the train took a sharp curve
while going at $50 miles an hour is
not explained-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Size and Speed Of Waves.

Many different answers have been
given to the question; "How high are
the greatest ocean waves?" NJ. Dibos,
marine engineer and laureate of the
Institute of France, has lately made
some personal observations on this
subject. He describes waves encount-
cred in the North Atlantic which had
a height of at least forty-five feet.
Driven before heavy wind, waves
may advance at the rate OF from thir-
ty-five to forty miles an hour, aud such
undulations of the ocean may travel
more than 500 miles from the point
where the wind created them, without
being accompanied by any disturb.
