Plant Culture by Amateurs.

Amateur florists should study the
habits of the plants in their collections In
order to give the special care needed by
each variety" writes Eben b. Rexford in
The Ladies' Home Journal "Not only
does this advice apply pertinently to wa.
tering but to the position in the window
Your plant window may be q southern one
which will admit !; great deal of sunshine
This will exactly suit geraniums, hello
tropes, roses and plants of that class, but
begonias, primroses and many other plants
adapted to house culture are not particu-
larly fond of strong sunshine-in fact, are
often injured by full exposure to it, 1t is
possible to find out exactly what course to
pursue and to effect II compromise between
these two classes of plants without u
change of windows. Find out what plants
like partial shade and give them positions
In the rear of the sun loving plants. In
this way the plants which require sunshine
will not be robbed of it, and those which
do not require sunshine will not be harmed
by having an excess of it,"

POSTAL EXPENSES.

The international Bureau of the
Postal Union in Paris has published
the income and expenses of the differ
ent postal services for 1896. The
United States, it appears, still has to
pay out more than it receives on this
account. The income was about $780,
100000, the expenses $9O,OO0,OOO. All
other countries profit. The German
postofiice netted $07 100000, and eX-
pended $94,000,000. Great Britain far
ed still better. Her postoffice took in
$57, 100000 and the expenses were only
$4O,OOO,O00. For France the figures
were $i5,000,000 and S37 100000: in
Russia $32,000,000 and 500, 900, 900: in
Austria, 1923 100000 and S21 200. 900.
The enormous extent of the United
States and the low rate of second class
matter are thought to be responsible
for her postal deficit.

Training a New Husband.

From the Detroit Free Press.
 Bumper is rough old bear and his daughter inherited some of his dispo- sition. He loves to tell how she trained her husband, whose ways did not meet with her approval.
 Why that fellow, the old gentleman eays with a laugh that is a roar, had had no more gumption than to think that he could carry on just as though he had no wife to please. I knew better from the start, but knew that she could take care of herself and a half dozen like him. He smoked cigarettes in the parlor, just as though he was in his bachelor quarters. She put in her protest and he declared that he hadn't surrendered any of his personal rights when married her. Now she's not girl to go into tan trums or set up howl But the very next time he had few friends in there blowing cigarette smoke through their noses, she glided in gracefully, took seat, threw one little foot over the other on an ottoman and lit one of those sane little coffin nails. He was mortified and on his high horse, but could hs be told him just how much good that would do him. She played the game till she made him quit Then he got to staying at the club till the wee hours. She enlisted me: we managed to get home at A.; he didn't see me, she would give him no satisfaction and he just begged of her to remain at home with him after that. You bet she'll keep hls toes on the mark"

The Words That Help.
Pascal.


 Kind words do not cost much; they never blister the tongue or lips, and we have never heard of any mental trouble arising from this quarter. Though they do not cost much, yet they accomplish much First they help ones good nature and good will. Soft words soften our soul: angry words are fuel to the flame of wrath, and make it burn more fercely. Sec ondly, kind words make other people good natured Cold words freeze peo- ple, and hot words scorch them, and bitter words make them bitter and wrathful words make them wrathful. There is such a rush of all other kinds of words in our days, that it seems desirable to give kind words chance among them. There are vain words and idle words. and hasty words, and spiteful words, and warlike words. Kind words also produce their own image on mems souls, and a beautiful image it is; they smooth and quiet and comfort the bearer; they shame him out of his sour and morose and unkind feelings We have not yet begun to use kind words in such abundance as they ought to be used

Big Elevator Making Arrangements Tor
 the New Order of Things.
 DEs MONIES, la, Feb. 9.-The Me Farland Grain company, the biggest concern of the sort, with headquarters in Des Moines, has concluded that the grain traffic from this section will here after be diverted to the gulf. As re- suit it has abandoned it's elevators at Madrid and other points on the main line of the Chicago, Milwaukee X St. Paul tributary to Chicago and will en- large its plant in Des Moines by the construction of an elevator in which 200, 900 bushels of grain a day can be cleaned and handled. This change is due to the absorption of 30 per cent. of the stock of the Keokuk & Western railroad by the Kansas City, Pittsburg x Gulf railroad and the proposed con- struction of 8 connecting link between Gainesville, Mo, and Kansas City, giv- ing a direct Des Moines connection with the gulf.
