Sponge the Window Plants.-It is very
that the plants should be
kept from the dust of the room that
settles upon them, and this is especially
true of those plants whose leaves are
thick and glossy, because the pores of
such are so minute that they become
easily clogged with dust, which will very
soon injure the texture of the leaves
and thus the growth of the plants. The
air indoors Is very dry in cold weather,
and wetting the earth about the roots
does not materially benefit the leaves,
which are now deprived of the rain and
dew of the summer months. The best
remedy for this is to regularly sponge
the leaves on both sides with tepid
water every few days. The india-rubber
tree, palms, callas, range and lemon
trees are easily sponged. If the plants
are not too large, they may be placed
in the sink and sprinkled with a water
ing-pot or a whisk-broom. Plants that
are not convenient to sponge may be
syringed with warm water. An ato-
mizer of large size is excellent for his
purpose. Any solution used for destroy
ing insects on the plants is convenient
ly sprayed through an atomizer.
Javelle water is very useful in house
keeping purposes, and a bottle of 1t will
be found very convenient in many ways,
but it must be kept on a high shelf out
of the children's reach. and should be
plainly marked Dangerous It may
be purchased at the druggists, but is
easily made at HON at much less cost,
being to a great extent a solution of
chloride of potash. 1t is excellent for
removing stains of long standing, in
either white cotton or linen, as it
bleaches them out. Pour a little of the
solution over the stain, and almost in
stantly immerse it in lukewarm water
and rub it we'll. If the spot does not
come Il let it soak a moment longer
in the javelle water, and wash it out
again in lukewarm water. Javelle
water is also very efficacious in remov-
ing stains from the inside of bowls and
bathtubs.

1t has been proved that the compare
lively harmless bombarding. SO far as
wounds are concerned, of a besieged
town is terribly demoralizing to the
bravest men. When shell bursts near
a group of twenty men 1t may kill one
and wound two. while the remaining
seventeen escape without scratch 1t
will be found. however, that many of
these are never the same men again.
No matter how iron nerved they were
before they are now irresolute and
timid, and all their faculties are weak
ened- Very often they are jeered at by
their comrades because Of this change,
but this is utterly unjust In fact, their
brain and spinal cord have been in
jured by being violently shaken against
the walls of their bony cavities. The
same tlAng occurs in railway COLI
sions. People who were robust become
quite feeble and nervous. though they
may not have received a scratch. This
curious state in the case of soldiers Is
well recognized by doctors under the
name of the mental injuries Of explo-
sives. The injuries are really quite as
physical as a shattered leg, for they
consist of a kind of bruising of the
very delicate tissue of the spinal cord
and brain.
