HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.

BEST TEMPERATURE FOR HOUSE PLANTS.
1t is o curious fact that plants in
growing seem to require steady in
crease in heat. May is warmer than
April, June is warmer than May and
July ia usually warmer still. In
August it seems to be still warmer,
and yet we notice that all our native
plants really grow less in August than
in July. This is accounted for by. the
fact that the nights (the cool timel are
growing longer. Hardy plants begin
in August to ripen their wood and
perfect their leaf and fruit buds for
the next year. Growth is really less,
and keeps growing less through August
and September because the average
temperature is growing less. These
points are worth remembering now
when we are preparing to plant seeds
in the house for window plants. Be-
gin to plant as soon as the season
turns christmas week. and then
slowly raise the temperature as the
plants grow, through January, Febru-
ary and March, so that the plants will
find IN the house the same gradual In
creaee in heat that they wonld find out
,f doors in spring and early summer.

An ostrich, like most other animals,
in it's wild state is terribly afraid of
man or of any unfamiliar sight, and
nees at the appearance of anything
new to its ken. When domestlcated
it becomes docile, and after time
assumes o position of authority and
becomes master of the situation.
From June up to September, or, in
fact. til. Christmas, thousands OF
chicks are reared every year, and
thousands meet with death every year
from some form of accident. Chicks
ND to twelve months old die from
various maladies, but seldom after
they are full grown are they the VIC
/ ms of any sickness, death usually
resulting from q broken leg, killed
fighting, or from scarcity OF food II
times OF drought.
The nest of the ostrich is a very
crnde affair, consisting simply OF
round hollow carved out in the sandy
ground. Sometimes the female birt

are credited with making the worst

besides, they consume an inordinate
quantity of hot bread, and on the

below the average in civilization. The
