BREATH OF FLOWERS.
Science Proves Plants to BE of Bencs
fit In the Sick Room.

The old notion still holds among
many people of this and other lands
that flowers are not wholesome in Il
sleeping Certain plants, among
which are the geranlum the lily and
the begonia, are supposed, for some
unexplained cause. to give off an odOr
at night especially obnoxious. Scien-
titic knowledge and numerous expert
ments have repeatedly disposed of
these decisions, and it Is great pity
that people should deprive themselves
of the pleasure and satisfaction to be
derived from flowers for reasons which
are not reasons ut all. 1t is true there
are few tropical plants which give
off perfume unhealthful to breathe at
any time, but these plants are rare and
only number few out of tens of
thousands at the most. The green
leaves of all flowers are, on the other
hand. most beneficial, since they puri-
fy the air. Even the doctors are be-
ginning to recognize that they may aid
in the cure of disease. and a hospital
in New York has flower ward which
is used for the treatment of suitable
cases.
Suppose one Is confined to his bed
room with bad cold, an attack of in
fluenZa, bronchitis. or even cOnsump-
ton. he cannot do better than surround
himself with pots of any kind of plant
that has profusion Of green leaves
Geraniums are the least valuable i'm
this respect, and strong smelling flow
ers. like musk, should be avoided. How
the leaves act as therapeutic agents is
easily explained. What renders the air
of the room stuffy and unwholesome il
the carbonc acid we breathe forth.
Green leaves, however. breathe it i'm,
consume the carbonic acid and breathe
forth pure oxygen. Moreover, they
give off in vapOr the water taken up
by the roots, and thus act the part
of bronchitis kettle. Consequently
the pa tent is refreshed. and. provided
there Is a sutficiency of plants, he is
exhlarated. Even people In health
would do we'll to give this pleasant
cure a trial, especially during the
months when 80 much time is spent in
doors. and when ventilation is at its
worst They would find themselves
suffering less ennui, fewer headaches,
fewer colds, and would also better re-
sist the attack of serious lung dis
eases.-I .eslie's Weekly.

There were few merchants in Bos-

hated. The boys in their hasty patrl
otism, made on placard a list Of the
names of those who imported and sold
prescribed articles, and put it on
pole that bore wooden head and
hand They set this image up before
an importers door, with wooden
hand pointing toward it. and this made
the importer angry, and he fired mus

Gore, afterwards Governor OF Massa-

Little Christopher Snyder, boy
whose mother was a widow. and who
had followed the spirit of the times
fell mortally wounded. They took up
his form and bore 1t away, and the
whole city wept. Never in America
was there boys funeral like his.
They made for him a patriots coffin
and bore his form to the Liberty Tree
which stood near the present corner
of Washington and Essex streets On
the coffin was this motto: Innocence
itself is not safe" The boys of near
ly all the schools, some 600 in num-
Der, gathered around the body as an
escort. The bells tolled. business was
closed. and some 100 people followed
the first martyr to the grave.

the bells OF Boston, but those of the
neighboring towns, were heard toling

put them under faucet in the kitchen
to thaw out, which was successfully
accomplished. but the next morning
she awoke with frightful pain in her
back. She could scarcely get out Of
bed. but she insisted on keeping her
lecture engagement that night. The
next day, although she had to be car

Rising at the next morning. she rode
ten miles by stage. and then went by

The Forestry Problem.

A movement is now being made to
preserve and promote forest growths
In Vermont. to check the policy Of
forest destruction which has so gener-
ally prevailed in our state from the
! time of the earliest settlements To
promote this movement Clifford Pin
chot, chief of. the national forestry
/ bureau will deliver an address at the
city hall, Burlington, January 5, at
/ Joint session of the Vermont Dairy
mems and Vermont Maple Sugar Max
ars' associations, The meeting will be
public and all interested are invited.
Mr. Pinchot has had his agents explor-
ing the mountain forests of the state
for three years past and can therefore
speak with better understanding than
anyone has heretofore possessed. He
has won the confidence of congress and
the president as well as of his scientific
associates and the leading lumbermen
of the country wherever his ideas have
been presented. He believes that the
prime object in forestry management
should be to produce timbers, and that
TO this end trees are to be cut when
fit. Forest preservation does not re-
quire that fewer trees be cut but that
there be adequate protection against
fire and that the axe be used judicious-
ly so as to insure the reproduction of
timber crop equal TO or even better
than the original In short the tree
crop must be handled like any other
crop. cultivated and cared for, not ex-
terminated. Mr.. Pinchots advocacy |
of this idea and his exposition of prac-
teal methods of accomplishing it, have |
won the support of lumber producers
and lumber consumers everywhere. In |
1898 he developed plans for offering
the assistance of the government bur-
eau to forest owners both farmers and
in the management of their
timber lands, and some of the first
work along this line was on DIR.
Webb's Adirondack estate. The prac-
teal outcome is that such assistance
has been sought In the management OF
some 100000 acres of private lands in
addition to 5S,00000O included in the
forest reserves. The bureau
IS also conducting extensive work in !
by tree planting. studying ,
forest fires and their prevention, and

supply and the constancy of the flow

advice has been sought in years past

At this season of the year it's a good

self may be saved.

THE BEST BEEF.
The Delightful Virginia Dish of Beef
A la Mode.

The best beef is of clear red color
slightly marbled with fat, of "A clear
white. When the beef is too old or too
poorly fed to be good it looks dark red
or blush, with yellow fat. The sirlon
and ribs, especially the sixth, seventh,
and eighth, make the best roasting
pieces.
The ribs can be removed and used
for stock and beef rolled or skewered
firmly, making a piece easily carved
and almost as presentahle the second
day as the first. For steaks sirloin
is nearly as delectable to the tongue
and much more delectable to an econo-
mical woman's purse than porterhouse
which furnishes only a trife for eat
ing and the remainder for the stock
pot. If the beef be extremely young
and tender steaks from the round may
be used.
The Virginia fashion of beef la
mode, of course a delightful fashion,
is using six or eight pounds of beef
from the round cut thick. Remove the
bone. and for eight pounds allow half
a pint of good vinegar, one large onion
minced fine, half teaspoonful each of
mustard, black pepper, cloves. and all
spice, and two tablespoonfuls brown
sugar.
Cut half a pound of salt fat pork
into lardons or strips two or three in
ches long and about half an inch
square Boil the vinegar with the
onion and seasoning and pour over the
strips of pork, and let them stand till
cold. Then pour off the liquor and
thicken with bread or cracker crumbs.
Make incisions in the beef at regular
intervals with carving steel. and
push in the strips of pork. Fill the
hole from the bone with the rest of the |
pork and the dressing. and tie the /
beef firmly into shape. Put two table /
ipoonfuls of dripping of lard in frying /
pan and brown the meat on all sides, /
which takes about half an hour.
Put the meat on trivet in the ket-
lie, half cover with boiling water; add
/ tablespoonful of salt, teaspoonful of
Pepper, an onion and a small carrot
,ut fine, and two or three sprigs of
parsley. Cook extremely slow. allow
ng half an hour to the pound.

Arrested for Insurance Frauds.

/ merly of Rutland, was arrested Thurs
! day, charged with fraudulently obtain
/ ing money from people to whom he had
sold insurance policies. He will be
taken TO Bennington for trial in the
county court He denies the charges
against him and claims that he was
duped by Bernard Erskine, who claimed
to be general agent of the company
and for whom warrant has been Is
sued, 1t is believed that Erskine has
left the state. He represented himself
as general agent of the international
registry company and was aided in his
canvass of the sections worked by one
II. A. Seeley: Mr. Rowell who was ad-
mitted to bail in 500 on each of two
charges was surrendered by his bonds
men later, He has been in commune
cation with the company and hopes to
extricate himself easily enough by jan
uary 26, when his case comes up in city
court, by showing he was the dupe of
Erskine and Seeley. Since his arrest
in Burlington it has been discovered at
Bennington that four more parties, in
addition to the six that were already
known, hold his receipts for moneys
paid for policies that have never ar
rived.
Bennington officers have received
word that Erskine and Seeley are In
Kennebec Me-, and have gone after
them. 1t is learned that Seeley is
native of Bellows Falls and that his
mother and three brothers reside there. |
