BeautifYing the Farm.

The following from Vick's Magazine
is worthy of careful reading. Of
course the lawn is not so cas-
ily made in Florida as at the
North, yet even here may be found
many beautiful lawns of Bermuda
grass.
eft seems strange so many farm hOus-
es should possess untidy and unattrac-
tive surroundings, when 10y a small
outlay of time and trouble the very
reverse might be the case. How often

pigs and chickens run at large as they

Native Plants.

Often when riding through the
woods near this place we see native
plants in bloom that are very SNOWY
and attractive. Not long since in pass
ing some clumps of Asclepias tuiberOsa,
"Butterfy weed" glowing in the sun
with their large clusters of rich orange
cOlored flowers we remarked that, if
that plant was imported from some
foreign country and Offered aIt a high
price, every one who saw it would
want one or more 1t is found from
New England to Florida and as far
west as Indiana and Illinois. 1t grows
in dry hand only.
Many who try to move wild plants
ITO their door yards fail because they
do not initiate the natural conditions
of the plant so far as possible. Many
varieties grow in the woods among
the clumps of wire grass and under
the Shade of bushes or pamettOes.
Such plants when moved to the flower
garden often die very soon.
Being set in the open ground where
the sand often becomes too hot to be
touched with the bare hand, they soon
burn up If the soil had been we'll
mulched with pine straw, dried grass
or forest leaves probably the result
might have been different Most of
the plants we cultivate are found wild
in some part of the world.
Some are very much improved by
cultivation, SO much so that in many
calses the wild original type seems to
he something entirely different. Many
new varieties have been produced by
hybridizing or cross-fertilizing differ
ent species, the resulting varieties of
ten surprising both parents in every
desirable quality.
There is long list of Florida plants,
that are catalogued by northern and
foreign florists. Two of the best are
probably our native Gamma, G. fiaccida
and our native Crinum, g. American

paths. or oval beds should he filled
with hardy perennials, and as many
ANIMALS sown each season as one can
find time and space for. Vines should
be generously planted about the house;
clematis is particularly fine for such
purpose trained on Suitable trellis,
and is so hardy it needs absolutely no
care. The ampelopss will attach itself
to either wood, brick or stone by the
disc-like rootlets thrown out along it's
stem, and will soon cover a bare wall
with beautiful mantle of green.
In the back yard, so often a positive
offense to the patient worker in the
kitchen, every effort should be made
to keep the grass ais green and smooth
rs possible. In full view of the kitchen
window plant large bed of nastur-
tiums; do not enrich the soil, as it can
scarcely be too poor or shallow for this
beautiful annual to live in. Keep down
the weeds and if possible do not allow
seeds ito form, and from June to Octo-
Der the bed will be a solid sheet of
gorgeously beautiful flowers in rich
and velvet tints of scarlet, gold and
ruby. In new ground nasturtiums will
do quite as we'll as anywhere else.
Plant some hardy climbing roses at
the door, and each year try to improve
ON the past one in the way of perlna-
nently identifying the surroundings.

A FEMALE JEFFRIES.

John iohogan, of Pleasant street,
and Mrs. Flaherty, of West Linden
street. had a quarrel on Wednesday
suited in family fight.
IT seems that Gohogan met one of
the young Flaherty children on the
street one day and gave it severe
whipping, because it had dealt out the
same dose to one of his flock. This
did not suit. Mrs. Flaherty went out
for revenge and waited for Gohogan to
pass her coal shanty.
The time arrived on Wednesday
evening and while he was passing Mrs.
tlaherty acCosted him and demanded
to know why he had whipped her
child. Warm words followed when,
unexpectedly, Mrs. Flaherty dealt Co
hogan a blow under the right eye,
cutting q cash which required seven
stitches to close up.
Gohogan repaired to his home and
after getting the wound dressed pro-
ceeded up the street for an officer. On
his way he PASSED the Flaherty coal
shanty again. and as he did Mrs. Flah-
ertH and her son pounced upon him,
giving him n severe drubbing. One of
the Flahertys in dealing Gohogan a
blow struck his hand on a picket fence.
lacerating the flesh.
Drs. Reynolds and Carroll were
called and dressed tine wounds OF
Gohogan and Flaherty respectively. A
law suit Will be the climax.

DIPHTHIERIA EPIDEMIC.

several cases of diphtheria have been
discovered on Everett and Fillmore ave-
nues, most of which are in a serious
condition, and had it not been for the
severe storm of Monday evening the
number would have been increased
somewhat.
The citizens residing in the above
locality have called the attention OF
the board Of health to a small stream
that runs between the above mentioned
avenues. This stream. they claim.
emits an offensive Odor which is detri-
mental to good health and the cause
of so much diphtheria in the locality.
People whose lots adioin the small
creek, which starts above Price street
and runs to Luzerne street, between
Everett and Fillmore avenues, use it as
a repository for all refuse matter Be
fore Mondays storm the stencil arising
was unbearable, but the downpour of
rain washed the refuse away.
The existing state of affairs cannot
be very well obviated until the sewer
is Guilt. This is the cause of all the
trouble, there being no way to carry
off the drainage.
