Plant Life and the sunbeam.

Even in the brightest room plants are
never of SO rich a green as those grown
out of doors. In a dark cellar no chic
rophyl is produced at all. Every one
has seen potatoes growing there, with
their long attenuated stalks and little
white leaves, which exist but for a
time and when the reserve material in
the tuber is used up wither away be-
cause they have no light To produce
chlorophyl the light must be at least
of sufficient intensity that this page
may be easily read by it, and to act as
a reducing agent it must be very con-
siderably stronger.
Every one has learned by sad ex-
perience how impossible 1t Is. to keep
plants in their rooms for any length
Of time, and the reason is that the light
is not bright enough, and what there is
does not last long enough to produce
the necessary quantity of food material
to support life. There is another fatal
thing to the growth Of plants indoors
viz, the dryness of the air-and this
can only be overcome by covering over
the plant with a glass shade. As
plants die from want Of light, so, too,
there are some which die from too
much. Many of the MOSES which
cover damp shady walls and banks
with their soft covering of green vel
vet die from too great an exposure to
sunlight.-Good Words.

He Was It

of one of his charming peripatetic lee
lures in Rome. He had conveyed his lit
tie flock, which included at least one live
prince, through the palace of the Caesars
and had gathered them near the Forum,
when he observed a mysterious stranger
who had attached himself to the party
Cooking more and more angry every min
ute.'' At length this interloper could
stand Mr.. Hare no longer. He burst
forth in denunciations. Gan that this
person has been telling you" he in
formed the party in a loud voice, about
the palace of the Caesars he has had the
effrontery to relate to you as If it were
his own. You will be astonished, gentle
men and ladies'. to hear that it is taken
word for word-word for word, without
the slightest acknowledgment-from Mr..
Hare's Walks In Rome" "All | said,
says Mr.. Hare, twas: oh, l am so much
obliged to you. did not know there was
anybody in the world who would defend
my interests so kindly. | am Augustus

cinhern In the Eye.

Persons travelling by railway are sub
ject to continued annoyance from the fy-
ing cinders. On getting into the eyes,
they are not only painful for the moment,
but are often the cause Of long suffering
that ends in a total loss of sight. A very
simple and effective cure is within the
reach of every one and would prevent
much suffering and expense were it gen
orally known. 1t is simply one or two
grains of tiaxseed. These may be placed
in the eye without injury or pain to that
delicate organ. and shortly they begin to
swell and dissolve a glutinous substance
that covers the ball of the eye, enveloping
any foreign substance that may be in it.
The irritation of cutting the membrane is
thus prevented, and the annoyance may
soon be washed out. A dozen of these
grains slowed away in the vest pocket
may prove in an emergency worth their
number in gold.
