The Home and Housewife
Care Of Palms.

In the growing of palms "a common
error made by cultivators is that Of
Overpotting. If the plants are grown
i'll small pots and treated properly they
may be kept as useful decorative
subjects for a long time. Under ordi-
nary circumstances palms grow SO
easily that they arc apt to be treated
carelessiy. When they have their
pots Wen filled with 1oots. extreme
care is necessary to maintain them in
healthy condition. Inattention to
the application of water may cause the
plants to suffer such check that the
leaves will assume Il sickly appear
ance. and, on the contrary, if an eX-
ccssive supply is given i'll the winter
months, when the plants absorb less
moisture much injury may occur by
decay of the roots. The need for a
little extra care in applying water to
plants at this season of the year
should not be overlooked. The potting
compost should consist Of good turfy
loan, three parts. and leaf-sOil, one
part with charcoal siftings and bone
meal added. Pots measuring six or
seven inches in diameter are quite
large enough for plants TO be used for
general decorative purposes.

The Scarlet Oak,

The scarlet oak. Quercus coccinea.
Wang, is one of the handsomest oaks
of northern United States, and is an
excellent shade tree. 1t usually forms
d very widespread head, when growing
in the open, and a broad. rounded top.
The outer bark of the trunk is very
rough, black, that of the branches
smoother and of 4 lighter shade. The
inner bark is pale, reddish or gray.
Leaves very deeply cut, with narrow.
often cleft lobes, rich dark, shining
green above, turning beautifully scarlet
in autumn. The tree is especially fine
in full Sunshine, it's rich, dark shining
foliage being very brilliant. Leaves
are larger than those of the pin oak.
but smaller than those of the red oak
and black oak. The acorn is ovoid, long
and rather slender, sharp-pointed,
striped. cup hemisphere or top-shaped.
1t deserves wide planting i'll parks,
cemeteries and as a street shade tree.

Over the Hills.

Over the hills to climb and fee,
And let no heart be Drawer!
And when they arise like waves Of the
Q like a bird of the sea to be-
Over the hills forever!
Over the hills is all content,
Far from the gall and sorrow
OF letting life and love be spent
For happiness that came and went,
Or may not come tomorrow.
Over the hills hide half-unknowE
High haunts Of starry cover;
o to steal out in the night, alone
With one close-clasp'd whose hair IS
blown
And be the perfect lover.
Over the hills at the last to know
The soul OF some deep river.-
And sweet in the fields to rest and grow.
And swift in the winds to rise and blow
Over the hills forever.

The best method Of mending SILK
gown is to use the ravcllingS from the
material itself. first of all, because
there can then be no doubt as to your
having the exact shade which is not
ant to be the case even with the most
closely matched sewing silk; and,
secondly. because the twist IS tn"
same, and the stitches do not show, as
they will if the stitches are taken with
a thread more tightly twisted than the
woven fibre. The place should after
wards be pressed with a heavy iron.
The iron, Of course. should only b"
warmed. as Il hot one would leave an

MURDER BY POST. f"

An attempt at murder, character.
lied by intense malignity, has been
made at Lucca. Signor Gioyacchi-
nj, an official of the prefecture, re-
ceived by post from somebody un-
known at Milan a box of preserved
fruits. Hoping that the name Of
the unknown donor would become
known, he kept the box few days
without opening it. As the donor
did not present himself, Signor Gio-
vacchini then opened the box and
took out some of the fruit, which
gave off a taste so acrid and disa-
greeablc that he took the box to the
sanitary Office, where it was found
that the fruit had been poisoned
with sublimate, mixed with sugar.
There is no trace Of the sender
