The walking Fern.

The walking fern has a most original
way of getting over the ground. 1t
bends its slender frond and starts a
root by extending the tip of the mid
rib. So it sets up new plant and is
anchored fast on all sides by its rooted
frond tips, covering the ground with a
rich carpet of verdure. The variety of
runners along the ground is as great as
the climber. All motion of the plant
ls form Of growth. The plant grows
by day and by night, but more by day,
as light and heat are incentives to
growth.-Youth.

Young Matron-When the baby has
finished his bottle, lay him in the era
die OH his right side. After eating a
child should always lie on the right
side. That relieves the pressure on
the heart. Still refectively) the liver
is ON the right side. Perhaps. after

side. No, am sure the treatise on
Infant Digestion" said right side. On
the whole. Jane. you may lay the baby
on his back until have looked up the
matter more thoroughly.
