FLOWERS FOR TIE HOME.

Lilies in the House.-Do not keep ,hese plants in a high temperature if you want them to give you fine flowers. Too much heat hurries them along too rapidly. \ temperature of 65 degrees is much better for them than higher one.
 Yellow Oxalis.-The variety of oxalis sent out under the name of buttercup is a good sort for winter hanging basket. Its flowers are large, plenti- fully produced and Of a rich yellow. Many prefer this variety to o. rosea, the old pink kind.
 Blue Flowers.-One of the best blue flowers I know of for house culture is plumbago capensis. This is free al- most constant boomer, and is easily cared for. Browallia is another easily grown plant, with blossoms of bright, clear blue. There are few really good blue flowers adapted to house culture.
 Violets in the House. violet is not adapted to house culture. The air of the living room is. too dry and warm for it. In short time the red spider will attack 1t, and every bud. II any ap- pear. will blast. It is plant that needs a cool, moist air, and unless it can be given this it is not worth while to at- tempt it's cultivation.
 Vines On New Houses.-A correspond ent sends a clipping from paper in which the statement is made that it is an. easy matter to make new house .ook as if vines were growing over it, from the ground, by fastening boxes here and there over it's front in which trailing and climbing plants are to be grown. In my opinion, it is impossible so to dispose boxes of plants over the walls of house as to bring about the effect escribed.-Ladies' Home Jour- nal

NEGROES MAKING PROGRESS.
New York's CcioFsj Population Is
 Improving It's Condition Rapidly. sa

Though large proportion of the negro population of this city still re- main in the degraded condition which was the natural result of the races seryitude, there are many-both men and women-who have broken through the barriers surrounding them. and have won for themselves respectable positions in various walks Of life, says the Scottish American. No longer are they crowded together to the same ex- tent as formerly. They are to be found aboTe the Harlem as vel as below 1t, and in the suburbs of Brooklyn as we'll as in the quarters which in time past were considered peculiarly their own. In the latter borough there is a Society of Sons Of Virginia, and in Manhattan the colored people from North Carolina have banded themselves under the name of Sons of the Old North State. They have several churches of their own, and also places of instruction in which pupils are prepared for special callings.
 The negro medical fraternity num- bers about 15, all with diplomas from well-known institutions. Five are graduates of Long Island college, and Harvard. Dartmouth, the University of Pennsylvania and Howard university are all represented.

AN AMUSING GAME.
One in Which the Old as We'll as the Young May Find En-
 jOyment.

Hostesses of house parties, and moth CTS expecting their boys and girls home for the holidays, are often glad to hear of a new game, or of an old one re- vived
 A game in which old and young and almost any number can join is the bird fancier. A cage of chairs must be made and arranged in the middle of the room; then number of pieces of paper are cut, as. many pieces as there are players. On half the number the name of a bird is written--canary, thrush, robin, and so On. These pieces are then folded and put on plate and passed around to the players. Those who draw bird must walk into the cage, and those who draw blanks re- main iI their seats.
 A merchant is then chosen, or bird fancier, who stands in the center of the cage, and the birds, from that mo- ment, must never take their eyes from him. If 9 bird is discovered to be look ing away, he is instantly commanded to pay a forfeit
 The other players walk around and round the cage, doing all in their pow CT to divert the attention of the birds by talking to them, calling them by name. Then the merchant cries out: q have good many fine birds here a plump partridge, a fighty canary, sulky bullfnch," and so on. ''Who will buy?"
 A player standing outside the cage cries: 'I will; describe your birds The bird fancier then calls the birds by name, and tells Of their gco5 quaIi- ties. The fun is in the witty and ants irg descriptions given by emerchart When the purchaser chooses q bird, he CT she is at once released from the cage. All the birds not chosen pay a forfeit 10 the merchant, but the mer- chant is forced to pay the birds who have been sold a forfeit.-Golden Days.
