In an old work entitled "The Athenian Ora cle" it is stated that formerly it was a custom to offer mass for the safety of all ships that went on long voyages to each of which little box was affixed, under the custody of the priest, into which the sailors put money or other valuables in order to secure the prayers of the church AtChristmas these boxes were opened and were thence called Christmas boxes" In order that no person should omit these presents the poor were encouraged to beg "box mon ey" of their richer neighbors to enable them to add to the priests perquisites

The Carn of Hou.. rsrns.

In the house where ferns are kept in- duce by means of evaporation, syring- ing or spraying as much moisture to the air as possible, for they generally do not successfully withstand a dry. parch- ing atmosphere. For the purpose of retaining moist air about the plant Wardian cases or ferneries arc often used with good success or a glass bell placed over the plant part of the time. It is well to bear in mind also that ferns, with the exception of the hardy upland sorts grow in moist. shaded places- It is therefore essential that they never dry out and that they be kept in partial shade. It is not wise, however, to soak the plants daily, whether needed or not. When new fronds are unfurling. avoid placing the plant in position where it will be ex- posed to the full power of the sunlight, as 1t will sometimes burn or blast the tender young fronds.
