THE Gre Or a FERN DIsH.

I A we'll He'd fern-dish as it is de-
liyered by the florist is really very
pretty and dainty affair. but, unfor-
tunaLely, the length of time that 1t
remains in good condition is generally
very short, writes Robert r. McGfegor
in the Woman's Home Companion. The
majority Of the ferns and plants used
in filling the fern-dish are of q tropical
nature. The florist being able to main
tain the moist, humid atmosphere in
the greenhouse, the plants consequently
thrive and do we'll for him; but on
removing them to the average dining
OF living room conditions are 50 changed
that disastrous results usually follow.
During the fall and winter keep the
fern-dish in the Kitchen as much as
possible, for there the steam from boil
ing pots and kettles keeps the air
moist Keep ever in mind that high
temperature and dry atmosphere will
certainly kill the ferns or iniure them
greatly, SO that IL it is impossible to
maintain sufficient moisture, keep the
plants in lower temperature, say
about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. In the
summer moist, shaded place, such as
at the north of the house at the base OF
a wall, should be selected, and a slight
excavation made in which to plunge
the pan when not in use. Tho matter
OF watering, especially in very dry
weather, is impor tant, and the soil
should never be allowed to become too
dry or the plant to suffer for water.
1t is beneficial practice to syringe
the foliage Of the ferns every two or
three. days. In addition to these sug-
gestions, one should keep sharp out
look for scale insects, which work such
havoc often before they are discovered.
During severe rains or storms the par
should be taken into the house. Avoid
keeping the ferp-dish in the direct
sunshine, but allow plenty of light.
The majority of fern dishes are in two
parts the inner part of either tin Oh
pottery, to hold the plants, and the
outer the ornamented part. This mr.:
rangelnent makes it convenient to
move the inner part with the plants.

IN ANCIENT GUIRANTEE.

Alfislee' s N1hgillne. E-5s.ta W.
While exploring the central part of
the northwestern ridge of the ruins of
Nippur we discovered a room (5.5 by
2.75 meters wide) about six meters
below the surface. Its ceiling had COL
lapsed long ago; its side walls, for the
greater part, were in ruins, and the
clay floor was covered with enrth and
rubbish from above. Agang OF trained
Affej workmen was ordered to remove
the debris that filled the room, when
suddenly they noticed numerous clay
tablets lying upon the floor. A few
hours later the whole room had been
cal efully searched and cleaned Seven
hundred and thirty tablets were
gathered and safely stored Up the castle
of our fortified camp.
After critical examination of the
building itself, and of the condition,
position and contents found therein, 1t
became evident that the excavated
room had once been used as business
arohiye OF the apparently wealthy and
influential firm of Murashu Sons, of
Nippur, who lived in the time OF
Artaxeryes I. and Darius III, in whose
reigns the documents are dated.
These tablets are mortgages, notes,
ItRhi NunIThCtS and okioo'loubo VI dll
kinds, and to- read them as they have
been translated by Prof. Iiilprecht one
would almost believe them to he the
work of modern Notary. Perhaps tho
most remarkable record is the first one
translated. 1t rs a guarantee that an
emerald set in gold ring will not fall
out for &c years. It reads as follows:
"Bsl-ad -iddina and Beishuna, SONS
of Bel and ,Hatin of Bazuzu, spoke
unto Bel-nadinshumu, son of Murashu,
thusI AS ooncerns the gold ring set
with an emerald, we guarantee that for
20 years the emerald will not fall out
of the gold ring. If the emerald
should fall out of the gold'ring before
the end of 20 years, Bel -ad- iddina,
Belshuna and Hatins shall pay unto
Bel-nadinshumu an indemnity of 40
