AN EVENING WITH DICKENS.

How the Great Author and His People
 Can Be Studied by Literary Clubs.
 For an evening with Dickens, " ad- vises Fannie Mack Lothrop, writing of Evenings For Literary Clubs" in The Ladies Home Journal, lone of the items of the programme might be sketch of his life condensed into about 200 words. The Dickens drawings by Charles Dana Gibson might be cut from The Journal and hung up before the au- dience and the story of each character and incident illustrated told The trial from Piczwick' could be arranged for individual reading or for number to take part in it. A bright paper may be written on The People of Dickens World. In Dickens works there are 1, 1,550 separate characters, enough to peo- pie a whole village.
 'tSome of Dickens poems have been set to music-notably The Ivy Green and would make a pleasant feature Anecdotes of Dickens might be given ty ten or dozen members, each giving one. These might be interspersed through the programme. A member with any cleverness in photography might make series of Dickens lantern slides from pictures in standard editions of the novelist s works and give magic lantern entertainment. The death of Paul Dombey would make pathetic reading from 'Dombey and Son. Mrs. Jarley's waxworks, as described in The Old Curiosity Shop could be given with some of the members grouped as characters in the famous show and des. ignated, as Little Nell did, with pointer :"

ARMORED PLANTS.
Thorus and Spies That Protect Plants
 From Their Enemies.


 Plants and Their Enemies" is tha title of an article by Thomas H. Rear ney, ,Jr., in St Nicholas. Mir. Kearney says:
 There are a thousand things thas threaten the we'll being and even the life of every tree and shrub and lowly herb Too much heat or too little werka great harm to plants. Then there ara all manner of wasting diseases caused by other tiny plants called fungi and bacteria. Many large animals, as horses and COWS and sheep, live by grazing the herbage and grass or browsing the foli- age of trees and shrubs. Of course they greatly injure the plants they feed upon and therefore many plants are ill one way or another protected against such attacks.
 Did you ever stop to think why this ties are so we'll armed with sharp prick les or why the ugly roadside nettles are furnished with stinging hairs? Notice cattle grazing in field where missiles or nettles grow See how careful they gre to let those disagreeable plants alone That is the reason for the stings and the spines See this honey locust tree bristling with its horrid array of three pointed thorns. What animal is brave enough to try to rob it of its leaves or great pods? Hawthorns, too and rosebushes and blackberry briers all have their sharp little swords and daggers to defend themselves against browsing animals
 Out on the wide, hot deserts of Ari- zona and New Mexico those odd plants, the cactuses, grow in great numbers Some of them take strange shapes-tall auted columns, branching candelabra or mero round balls, like the melon cactus They are almost the only plants that grow in some parts of that country, and there is always plenty of sap inside their tough skins. To the hungry and thirsty erea- lures that roam those 1reary wastes in search of food and water they are very tempting. Were they not in some way protected these cactuses would soon be entirely destroyed, but nature has made them to be like strong forts or great armored battleships among plants. They are guarded by all sorts of sharp spines and prickles and fine hairs that burn when they get into the flesh.
