HEAT KILLS PLANTS.
Furnaces Mean Destruction to Almost
All Kinds of Our Ordinary
House Flowers.

The ordinary furnace-heated house
is bad place in which to grow plants.
The air seems to have had all the damp
ness removed, and that moist condition
so conducive to good growth in plants
is not found. This may in a measure
be overcome by means of evaporation,
which, while not supplying a great
amount of moisture, should do some
thing toward relieving the bad condi-
ton of the atmosphere. Place jars or
pans of water in, around or about the
furnace, hang buckets of water down
inside the furnace pipes, below the
registers, or place them anywhere that
rapid evaporation may be induced.
Keep all the plants in light, airy loca-
tons, but away from draughts. Never
consign a well-grown specimen palm
to a corner of the room, though it may
look better there. It's beautiful APP
pearance will last short time only in
the dark, close place. 1t may seem
strange to some, but the very best
place in the house, if the temperature
can there be maintained at an even
point, is the kitchen, because of the
constant evaporation of the water as it
puffs forth from the spout of the tea
kettle.

Accredited to a Woman.

According to the Boston Transcript
it was a woman who was the means of
having definite day in the year set
apart for the national observance of
Thanksgiving. Mrs. Sarah Josepha
Hale, a Boston woman and editor of the
first woman's magazine published in
this country, worked for 20 years to
accomplish this end. Time did not
daunt her courage, but rather increased
her insistence. She wrote to governors
of states and to the president of the
United States. At last President Lin
coin adopted her suggestion in 1864.

the success of the north in restoring

FOR ALL The YEARS.

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on Thee"
The music of that sweet refrain
Floats over land and sea,
And who can weep for dying years,
Or mourn too much his loss.
When strength is gained through suffering
The crown won through the cross?
Let the old year come back to Thee,
o Thou Eternal One,
So that Thy peace forsakes me not
Each day will have its sun.
Thou wilt keep him In perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on Thee"
This message, when the year was young,
Was given to strengthen me.
The spring renewed 1t every day,
The summer made Il sweet,
Twas written on the cloudless skies.
And on the golden wheat,
Even the Christmas carols rang
The soothing message forth;
And New Year bells will yet proclaim
The good news south and north.
"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace
Whose mind is stayed on Thee.
o Father comfort all the world
AS Thou hast solaced me;
The New Year wears a smiling face
Whatever it may bring.
Thy children need not be afraid,
But songs of trust may sing.
Let Thy love make us true and good,
Let sin and evil cease,
And all the world be glad in Thee,
Kept in Thy perfect peace.

EDIEs TO CURE CONSUMPTION
AND ALL LUNG TROUBLES.
Nothing could be fairer, more philan-
thropic or carry more Joy to the afflicted
than the offer of T. A. Slocum, M. c., of
1888 Pearl street, New York City.
Confident that he has discovered an alb
solute cure for consumption and all pull
monary complaints, and to make itsgreat
merits known, he will send, free, three
bottles of medicine, to any reader of The
Midland Journal who is suffering from
chest, bronchial, throat and lung troubles
or consumption.
Already this "new scientific course of
medicine" has permanently cured thou
sands of apparently hopeless cases.
The Doctor considers it his religious
duty-a duty which he owes to humanity
to donate his infallible cure.
Offered freely, is enough TO commend it,
and more so is the perfect confidence of
the great chemist making the proposition
He has proved the dreaded consumption
to be a durable disease beyond any doubt
There will be no mistake in sending
the mistake will be in overlooking the
generous invitation. He has on file in his

Habit of High Thinking.

We easily form habits of thought. A
certain subject comes before the mind
and we dwell upon it, and revert to it;
after awhile the mind turns to it when
ever not employed on something else.
We should exercise care to form the
habit of thinking on good subjects.
Such thinking, like breathing the
mountain air, is tonic TO healthful-

their employees two consecutive hours in

permit each employe, who is voter suf-
