On the open shelves of the Brook
line (Mass-) library only 90 books were
lost during the past year. If this looks
IKE good many, it must be remem-
oered that none of the books that dis
appeared We're worth stealing for their
pecuniary value, and that the total
number OF books exposed counts up to
over 10000 Which simply goes to

Some boys recently convicted of
throwing stones in Everett, Mass,

Tor full half hour under the eve

boy was no kin. But the
boy loved the man so that he forswore
his own mother to run away with him.
And when the moment came that the
man could stand his pain no longer,
alone in the woods beside the lake the
boy lay down, barred his breast to a
dagger, and waited with closed eyes
while the man sought his heart
The boy died. With shaking hand
the man plunged the knife into his
own breast, but his stroke failed to
find vital spot
Hours later soldiers at Fort Sheri-
dan found the man, wandering and
gibbering and clawing at his bloody
breast. They took him to the hos
pital at the fort and strapped him to a
cot 1t was not until daylight came
that they paid much heed to his NUT

This is somewhat drastic treatment,
but If the plants are carefully staked
with light stick or bamboo cane and
tied up with raffia for a week or two
they will speedily recover if kept from
bright sunlight, the tying up of the
leaves being necessary to prevent
their weight levering the roots out Of
position. The final proceeding is to
give the contents of the pots several
copious waterings, in order to wash
the soil well round the roots, but be
sure the water gets away
Sometimes it will be found that old
plants make no progress. This is
usually due to the fact that fresh soil
entirely is required, the old having
other causes. immense the whole of
the pot and contents in pail of water
for one hour, remove the pot, washing
away the old soil altogether, then re-
pot with new pot and soil. AS to
watering, the aspidistra requires to be
freely watered in summer and spar
ingly in winter. 1t is preferred by
some, instead of giving several water
ings, to stand the plant in a pail of
water for some little time, allowing
the pot to be wholly covered, thus af-
fording lasting drink, and this meth
cd is all very well when the watering
of plant is understood. 1t is COM
mon practice to place the pots in
fancy vases or jardinieres; this is
detrimental to any plant, as it hinders
the air getting to the pot, which is
porous. If, however, this course is
adopted the outer vessel should be con-
siderably larger than that containing
the plant itself, to allow a certain
amount of air to circulate between the
two; also it should not be forgotten
that water must not accumulate at the
bottom of the vase, as this rapidly be-
comes stagnant and sour. and is very
injurious to the plant.
