Winter

I have not had a great deal of sue
cess in the cultivation of flowers and
roses, but l have a very simple plan of
protecting them: I lay down the rose
and owe 1t with leaves. and when l
uncover 1t in the spring l find that it
Is quite fresh. In some instances the
buds have begun to shape before the
leaves are taken OF. One season a keen
frost came and they were set back, and
we had no roses that year. l now adopt
the plan of driving a stick down along
side the bush. l then gather the
branches together, tie them with
a string. and put a hoop around
the bottom. l put ordinary rye straw
around the inside of that hoop and
then put On another hoop around the
top: and I find that there is sufficient
protection to enable them to come out
all right. My grapevines l cover with
earth. Three years ago l took them
up; they started very early; there was
q late frost and I had no fruit that
year. The next year I covered them
with evergreens, and l had not much
more success. Last year I allowed them
to stay up on the trellises and take
their chances, and l had a better crop
before the frost came than l had had
for the last three years. If you have a
wet, warm season and protect them too
much you injure them.-Parker.

fort Of the Sati ID the most curious
scene Of this very Interesting fresco.
At first sight the battle appears to b
between men and women, and. though
the women clearly belong to the Sati
tribe, the men are neither Egyptian nor
Sati. The natural superstition Is that
they are the Bedouin allies Of the
Egyptian who. like the modern Bed
ouin. prefer plumber to fighting. These
Bedouin. seeing the Sati defeated In
the field. have scaled the walls by
means of a ladder, only to be met and
discounted by the women. In every
register of this fresco the Bedouin are
seen stabbed. tripped up. pulled down,
and utterly defeated by the Sati women
in the middle register is the Sati chief,
who tears his hair on hearing the news
Of the defeat Of his people; q Bedouin
who tries to force his way into the
chiefs presence is killed by q woman.
On the lowest register are two Egyp-
tians armed with long picks, mining
under the wall: they have almost made
their way through. Within the wall
are two of the Sati men listening in
tently to the sound of the picks.

RoentGea Rays and Cardiac A6ectioas.
At Berlin q few days ago, before the
congress on internal diseases. Prof.
Benedict, of Vienna, stated that the
most important result of the employ
ment Of the X-rays in this depart
Eent Of medical science had been the
ascertainment of the strength and ex-
tent Of the hearts movements In
healthy and unhealthy conditions.
They had shown that the work per-
formed by a sound heart had been
greatly overestimated, and they had
thus rendered the vibrations Of a
diseased heart easier to understand.
Doctors were now in a position to
learn the size and position of the vital
organ in cases where the former meth.
DDS of association and percussion had
afforded them no help. BY the Roent-
gen rays it was possible to observe de-
terioration Of the valves at a much
earlier stage than previously, and to
gain exact Information as to the rea-
tons between the heart and the dia-
phragm, as we'll as to observe the
movements of that membrane. In the
carly diagnosis of disease of the lungs,
stomach, and kidneys. the rays rem
dered doctors important assistance;
and it would in future be possible &c
gain a knowledge of diseases at . stage
at which they had previously entirely
escaped detection.

How an Elephant Won !. B..,,.

In one o: the battles founght between
the Mahrattas and the Moguls during
the eighteenth century, before Brit
aims Indian empire was established.
the Mahratta state elephant bearing
the standard was told by his mahout
to stand still. Just as the order was
given the mahout was killed. As the
battle went or the Mahrattas fell back
before the Moguls, and would have lost
the day. but seeing the state elephant
still standing immovable with the
standard still flying. they rallied again
and again. and won the fight. When it
was over the elephant refused to move
from the spot, remembering the COM
'nand of his dead mahout. At last
some one reco!lected that the mahout
had occasionally put the elephant in
charge of his little son. So the child
was sent for. but the village was a
day and a hats journey. so that three
days elapsed before the boy arrived.
During those three days the animal
stood there on the battlefield, and food
had 70 be brought. When the child
came on the morning OF the third day
the elephant knew him directly, and
remembering that the mahout had
sometimes delegated his authority to
the child. the wise and faithful animal
pbeyed the boys order. and walked
quietly away with him.

m "White Horse'' OF Berkshire.
Perhaps the biggest horse in the
world is the White Horse" of Berk.
shire, England. 1t is a figure of III
yards long. cut in the side CT a hill.
A long way of it looks as though
drawn in chalk lines, but the outlines
are really deep bitches in the soil, KEEP:
c.ean and free from grass by the peo-
pie, who take great pride in it. The
bitches are six yards wide and two feet
deep. The eye of the horse is four feet
across. and the ear is fifteen yards
long. 1t can be seen for sixteen miles.
When the time comes to clear out the
bitches, the people make a kind Of pic
mic of it. and play all sorts of rustic
games. Who made the white Horse"
or what for, is rot known for certain.
though King Alfred has been mention
ed in connection with it. It Is certainly

A Singular Plant.

The Lattice-leaf plant, so called from
its resemblance to lattice blinds. is a
native of Madagascar. It Is one OF
the most extraordinary plants in ex-
istence. because the leaves have the ribs
and veinings only. and appear but as
the skeletons. The tissue usually found
in the interstices is quite absent. Il
is an aquatic plant. and looks exceed
ingly delicate and graceful as 1t floats
on the surface of the water.
