Twenty per cent OF gain in tw'

the gain which the Rhode Island Re-
licans made in the recent State elec

that our railroad companies as a rule

Rubber Trees.

Rubber trees are often seen growing
up to one very tall, spindling shoot,
without any disposition to branch; this
should be altered by pinching out the
top bud in the fall, causing the plant
to form other shoots. AS a rule, the
rubber plant does not branch without
pinChing out, under our system of cul-
ture, though one well-knOwn florist is
familiar in the trade as the producer
of naturally branching rubbers, with
out the pinching process. We should
hardly advise putting the varlegated
rubber plant outside during the sum-
mer, because it is so very susceptible
to leaf injury; indeed, we should not
recommend it as house plant, either.
When in perfect condition, the foliage
Is very handsome, but it is extremely
subject to a species of leaf blight which,
beginning in the creamy variegatiOn,
gradually extends over the remainder
Of the leaf. This trouble attacks the
plant even under the most favorable
conditions, though it is naturally in
tensitied by any check to growth. No
doubt it is the result of constitutional
weakness, Of which variegatiOn is often
an evidence. Some of the large whole
sale florists have almost given up grow
ing the varegated rubber for CONNER
cial purposes, on account of this
trouble.-Rural New Yorker.

Palms in Russia.

In the winter palace at st. Peters
burg is the Nicholas salon, which is
decorated with seventy-twO palms, av-
eraging from twenty-five to thirty feet
high. These stand in six rows of
twelve plants each, and around each
plant tub is constructed a table at
which ten Lersons can be comfortably
seated at dinner. The palms stand so
far apart that their spreading tops do
not touch, and the outline Of each can
be seen to advantage. The skill of the
court gardener is shown in the fact
that these tubs are only thirty inches
in diameter, and they cannot be en-
larged, owing to the limited size of
the table. AS the palms remain in the
palace from January until May, they
lose seven or eight leaves every year,
which must be replaced by as many
new ones before the following Janu-
ary To bring about this growth the
plants are turned out of the tubs as
soon as they are taken from the palace,
the roots are severely shortened with
an axe, and the ball is retubbed in
turfy lOam fertiliZeu with bone meal,
and the palms are then placed on a
warm bed in the palm house. Here
they remain until their new leaves are
developed, and at New Years they are
transported to the palace, we'll packed
in thick coyerlets, as they are carried
through temperature which some
times falls to 40 deg. below zero.-Ex-

Turkish Superstitions,

Some of the Turkish superstitiOns
are Of the most extraordinary nature.
For instance, If by chance a sparrow
or swallow flies in at the window and
circles three times around the room it
is a sign that a blood relation of some
one present is about to die. There are
many signs and happenings that are
supposed to predict marriage.
When in summer bee flies in at the
window it is regarded as the harbinger
of good news, as Is also a thistledOwn
or beetle. A moth at night flying
about light means thoughts and good
wishes from immOrtals; the unexpected
braying Of q donkey a visit from an
unpleasant acquaintance. If a man
leaves his home for business and walks
along the street and a bird alights eX-
aCtly in front Of him three times. he
turns on his heel and goes home, and
no power short of an imperial firman
will make him pass that place again
that day for he is sure that if he at
tempts to do so something unpleasant
will happen to him. A dog running
three times across his path will also
turn him back.
When Turk is starting out upon an
important venture he will say to him
self: "The issue will be as I desire it
II the first three persons l meet have
blur eyes" Blue eyes being far less
common than black, he takes the
chances, and sometimes sees the three
blue-eyed ones first. Augury is also
made from the forms of the clouds and
by entrails Of fish, animals and fowls,
from orange pits and the odd or even
number Of divisions in the pulp. If
red orange be peeled by accident the
person feels great pleasure, as that be-
tokens prosperity and gold
When the Sultan is about to under
take anything, however insignificant,
all sorts of signs and omens are con-
suited. If he is going to the mosque
all known means are employed to dis
cover whether it would be more pro-
pitious for him to go by land or water.
Probably there is not a foreign minister
or ambassador who has ever been ac-
credited to Turkey who has not been
annoyed beyond measure on account of
the maccountable postponement of
dinner to be given him at the imperial
palace, n postpOnement that always
seemed to come at a most awkward
and inexplicable time But if they had
known the truth 1t would doubtless
have been found that on consulting the
augurs 1t was learned that some con-
dition or other was unpropitious, and
so the dinner was suddenly postponed
The advocate., 1897-08-18

until the fates were in some measure
appeased. II would take a volume to
tell of the ramifcations of the Turkish
superstitiOns, and unimportant as they
would be under other circumstances,
they really have much to do with the
deciding of important questions Of in
ternational significance.

MRS. Cleveland and the Wheelman.

1t was Christmas week and a young
man on bike was confidently riding
up f street, A heavy carriage drawn
by two prancing bays came spinning
up the street at the same time. The
young man was fairly run into the
gutter, by the turnout and to save
himself from being crushed, he jump
ed off his wheel. The bays were drawn
up to the curb in great style, and the
lady occupant of the carriage stepped
out to go into a store. She instantly
took in the catastrophe. The wheel
was almost a wreck, and the rider
was looking around for his hat. She
stepped right up to him and inquired
if he was hurt, Being assured that
he was not, she took out card and
wrote few lines on it and gave it to
him, saying;
"Have your wheel repaired and
send the bill to Mr. Thurber with this
card. ! am very glad you were not
hurt"

Ferns In the House

A bit of living green in room
from which none can be seen through
the window often proves positive
Joy. A fernery is the easiest thing in
the world to manage. 1t does not
require either sunshine or constant at
tention, but with little care now and
then gets on beautifully almost by
itself. The fern case must be long
and deep enough not to crowd the
plants, and built of sufficiently heavy
glass to keep the heat of the room
from penetrating it. The oblong
style has been found to be the most
convenient shape, as it will stand
solidly upon table in any out ofthe-
way corner, and not topple over at
every jar. The framework may be of
wood or iron, iron preferably, as the
wood al,sorbs considerable Of the
moisture that should 60 to the plants.
A good depth of rich soil should be
put in and the ferns set as thickly as
one wishes. Ofcourse the earth must
be kept moist always, but there need
be little or no sunshine. Louis

Value of the Thermometer.

"A little thought and experiment
ing will work reform in many house
holds, to the increased comfort and
health of its inmates, and to the ad-
vantage of the coal bin and wood pile.
In these days of dear fuel and cheap
thermometers, the latter should be in
dulged in until the temperature of
overheated apartments, public and
private, is reduced to point favor
able to economy and health.
A thermometer should be in every
sitting room and it should not be
permitted to indicate temperature
of more than 10 degrees. This is
warm enough for health, and perhaps
a lower temperature would be better
still. DR.. Kane, during his Arctic
explorations, said that his men were
more comfortable when the cabin was
6I or 62 degrees than when it was
warmer, and that was the tempera.
ture recommended for hospital wards.
Many mothers appear to accept
with resignation the repeated and
violent colds from which their child
rem suffer as providential and un-
avoidable. 1t should be impressed
upon their minds that these colds are
due as much to the overheated homes
as to the outdoor exposure.
Give every bed room thorough
airing every day, more especially if
several children are obliged to sleep
in the same room. This is to be
avoided if possible, butif not be sure
to give attention to the ventilation of
these rooms. There is frequently
bad air enough generated and breath
ed in the sleeping apartment of a
family of small children to supply
them all not only with colds, but with
a number of SO called ''malarous"
diseases, to last them throughout the
year."
