morphine !; they deaden the senses, and so
does sin.

METAMORPHOSIS OF A PLANT.


Repeatedly Changed Quarters.
A curious incident of the power of
plants to adapt themselves to circum-
stances came under my'notice recently
in the shape of pontedria crassipes,
Last fall, says writer in Meehan' s
Monthly, I obtained a slip of poutedria,
which placed in a bowl in my sitting
room window. BY spring it was a
thrifty plant, with beautiful waxen
leaves. When it was time to set my
plant out of doors I locked about for
something in which to place my lily.
For want of something better I put it
in an old dinner boiler of generous pro-
portions. BY midsummer it had out
grown the boiler. Again looked about,
and this time T found a. crock, quite
deep, but not very wide. I divided my
plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half in the boiler. This latter I
kept thinned out by giving slips to
friends; the other plant was left to
grow at its own sweet will, and, being
a thrifty plant, very much bent on
growing, and finding it could not spread
according to it's natural mode, it
changed it's tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end of each
grew very large leaf twice the size
of an ordinary leaf. And here would
like to say that, as house plant, there
is nothing more attractive than a
healthy pontedria, with it's CLASSY, wax
EN-. leaves, and, moreover, it requires so
little attention, merely keeping it re-
plenished with water.

RINGING DOOR BELLS.

Pastime That Seems to he Disap-
pearing from the Sports of Youth.
In the days when knockers graced
the house door," said Mr.. Stoggleton,
reports the New York Sun, "the
small boy found sport in banging
the knocker and running. When bells
came in he yanked on the bell pull and
then fled. Nowadays he mysteriously
presses the button; but the sport of
calling people to the door for nothing
is not what it was; and it seems prob
able that with the general introduction
of the push button, it will finally fall
into decadence.
:"There was some fun in pounding
with the door knocker, whose thunder
reverberated through the hall and filled
the house, all of which you could hear
yourself. And you could yank the bell
pull out to the limit, causing the bell to
fly almost off the spring; there was fun
in this. But there is no such fun in
pushing in a push button. You can
press that in perhaps quarter of an
inch, and that is all you can do with it
Say you are in the vestibule of a fat
Very likely you don't hear the bell ring
at all; it may be that it is up three or
four flights of stairs; you hear no sound
Nobody comes to the door; you don't
have to run. Possibly the people whose
bell you have rung may press a button
up there in the air somewhere and you
may hear the click of the door-opene1
at your side, or they may not do even
that,
eft is dry fun; not like the old slam.
bang knocker on the outside of the door
or the bell pull with the jingle bell right
in the hail."
