There is one real difficulty taxmen tug Bewaring plants, and that is thecae ditions of heat, moisture and light can - sot always be had in the proper propor- tion fora healthful growth. Prominent among plants selected for the foliage American Uanleuiug men- tions the different varlet' •s of palms, the dracaena, the flew and the cun-n- iigo. These plants hays really perfected their growth dnriug the summer mouths, and the winter is their season of rest, nave that they do not drop their leaves like ordinary herbaceous plants or shrubs, and all the care that they require during the winter is just sufficient water to keep the soil in the pots from becom- ing dusty. The dry air of the living room is by no means an injury to them melees, as is a common occurrence, you give them too mach water.

The maidenhair fern, Adian;nm carneatnm and the Adiantum farleyense are fa- vorites. The palms grow well in ordinary liv- ing Home. withstanding the bad effects of dry air and dust, because of the thick, firm texture of their leaves. One of the ben palms for house culture is Seaforthia elegant, with its tong. gracefully curved leaves- As will be seen by the illnstra- tion. it is ornamental when small and becomes more so with age. It is as fine an ornament for the center of a bay win- dow as one need have. Another goad palm is Pbrrnix reclinata. This bas shorter and stiffer leaves than the specie* named above. It is.tnrdy and robust in habit and is a splendid plant for a large vase. The eycas makes a very ornamental house plant, requiring much the saris treatment as palms. They also go to en- hance the beauty of our lawns in sum- mer,where they may be placed with safe- ty after the leaves have perfected their growth and are thoroughly hardened. Fruit Copt From Frogging. The great requirement for keeping fruit for family use during the winter is to surround it with air as near the freez- ing point as practicable. Country Gen- tleman says that one or more tbermome- tees are neoa■gry for the attendant, and if he finds it much below freezing he must raise the temperature a little, but H he gets it too high the fruit will be made to rot. The thermometer will show the attendant the precise temperature, which, if not allowed to vary, will con- vey the Game fruit through the winter. Ur. Gregory et Marblehead.

The must common of all tortes of In- toxication is of course that des to al- cohol, and the question of its treatment is must formidable. Alcohol affects the system in such a variety of ways, per- verts the functions of .o many organs, invades and corrodes s., many tlMuttt, that the physician is often puzzled as to what part of the organists nerals treating -tit first. The poison produces chromic inflammation of the stomach; it gradually inflames the liver, and In fart analogies it like au iron band; it injures the heart; it *Recta the kidneys; it does harm to the lungs; it produces neurasthenia, delirium tremens, inan- ity and epi iepr. ',,,i its influence upon the nervous system ; it attacks the spinal curd and causes pseudo ataxia. Sometimes the physicians treat one of there conditions in a patient and sou. -times many. But the worst con- dition is that of the vice or disease it- self. He mei- treat and relieve to a cer- tain extent the disorders just enumer- ated, but the habit offers terrible diffi- culties to overcome in order to conquer it. How shall the habit be cured? For many decades this complex question has commend - it the attention not only of physicians, but of laymen, lawyers, clergymen and statesmen. Either the desire fur alcohol must be got rid of or the alcohol itself must be made unat- tainable. To accomplish the first. appeal has been made to the enfeebled will of the victim by lectures, pledges, hypnotic suggestions, religious iuflueucesand the like, often with considerable success. And drug., tat, have been landed by physicians and a multitude of secret nostrntns by quacks to accomplish the same purpose, also with considerable success, though not so much through the merit of being an antidote to the impulse for drink as by virtue of the support by faith or suggestion given to th., weak will of the victim. On the other hand, to make alcohol unattainable, or at least to put it as far as possible out et reach, the law has been invoked to r•gmlate liquor selling in general. to prevent its bale to drunk- ards, to imprison habitues or to commit inebriates to special institutions for a cet tam period of time. While all of these means hare, in in- dividual instances, been productive of snccveeful results, the facts remain that no drug has been hand that is always equal to destroying the morbid craving, and the laws are inadequate, as regards the regulation of the liquor traffic and the isolation of the drunkard from the contiguity of hie ruling demon, -New York Sun. All ferns of rw.ity to Alcohol. The close relation of alcoholism to insanity is shown by the statement of a specialist -Krafft Ebing-that all firms of Insanity, from melancholia to imbecility, are found in alcoholism. It is artificial. It begins with a alight maniacal elicitation. thoughts flow lu- cidly, the quiet become loquacious, the modest bold. There is need of mus- cular action. The emotions are mani- fest in laughing, singing and dancing. Now the reatbetical ideas and moral impulses are last coutrol of, the weak side of the individual is manifested, his secrets are revealed. He is dogmatic, cruel, cynical, daugerons. He insists that ho is not drunk, jest as the insane insists on his sanity. Then his mind becomes weak, his coaeciouemess dim, illusions arise. He stammers. stagger, and, like a paralytic, his movements are uncertain. The principal character of these men- tal disturbances consists in a moral and intellectual weakness. Ideas become lax as to honor and decorum. There is a disregard of the duties of family and citizenship. Irritability is a concomi- tant. The slightest thing causes sne- picion and anger which are uncontrolla- ble. There is a wesknees of will to carry out good resolutions, and a con- sciousness of this leads some to request to he placed in an asylum, for they are morally certain in advance that they cannot resist temptation. Thus one has been known to have his daughter carry his wages home, as he could not peas a saloon on the way without going in if be had any money with him. Now it is a weakness of memory, a difficulty in the chain of thought end a weak per- ception, until imbecility is reached. There may be disturbances in brats circulation, canning restless sleep, anx- ious dreams, confusion, dissinen head- ache. Such circulatory dlstu in the sense organs can give rise to hal- lucinations. There is • trembling to hands, face, lips and tongue. In abort, these is • gradual mental and bodily degeseratioo.-8t, Louis Globe -Demo- crat, weave Thaa wae errata. eta PeMO.as.

The blue eyes -were those of a child who had seen little of the hard realities of the world. 'The curly brown hair formed a fitting frame for a sweet face. As abe sat. there the glory of the dying sort lit up the window and formed a picture the reproduction of whose fairness might immortalize an artist. The little arenmptlonof matronly airs betokened a young wife. Her anxious glance at each group of home comers showed that she was watching for him. As each car, now loaded with its even- ing's freight of wearied toilers, stopped at the corner of the street she gazed earnestly, then turned for a moment with a pretty pout of disappointment. An hour and a half passed and still no sign of her husband. In her place the fair young woman watched the night life of the city, ever changing, yet al- ways the same, unfold itself. Half an hour more. The red Ahireed mea and blue gowned lassies of a Salva- tion Army oorps marched to the corner and commenced an open+ air. meeting. They were re -enforced by an enthusias- tic and vigorous band. Nine o'clock struck, and the watcher bad not lett her post. Visions of danger to her husband filled her. "Fred always coma at e," she murmured to herself. "Something ter- rible must have happened to hire." Another dreary hour was nearly over. Sb. had not moved from her place to light the gas, and the room was in dark- er= save for the street lamp and the lazing torches of the Salvationists. They wens singing a defiant hymn to a tune known among ,coffers as "Ws Won't Go Rome Till Morning," when she was startled by a shoot, the sound of which seemed strangely familiar. "Whoop!" roared a thick voice. "Tha's ri', ole feller wi' the ted shirt -ries We won't go home till mftna. El 'ray I" Through the crowd came the form of a man supported an either side by a friend. The woman at the window stood upright, her face pressed closely against the pane. A Madams seemed to pan over her, and she grasped Hamar- gain' for support. Up the steps to the door two mon tar- ried the maudlin fn,briatc. He rank limply against the door. " Brace up. Fred. YOu're haeme.. Your wife is waiting for yon," " Bee' little wife in world.

"t it,, Fred," she began. "Wl,'zzt•r matter? I'm all ri'," said the nein ebepily. ""Gimme jus' one more drink." And he dropped listlessly on the carpet, snoring in a drunken stu- por. There were horror and surprise in the woman's eyes. Never had she seem such a sight, and now it was her husband! This was the handsome, talented Fred, always so bright and cheerful. To this sodden thing, reeking with the odors of his tempter, she was bound for life. Horrible! Horrible: Out on the streets the Army band we. commencing its last hymn -new words to an old and strangely sweet tune -and the cornetist, followed at a more or left lengthy distance by the rest of the band, was struggling with the beautiful melody called "Home, Sweet Home." Its strains, strident and inharmonious, seemed to mock the mute despair of the woman crouched on the floor, her face buried in her hands. - Chi cage News. T.mpera.e. Work Ia lies -way.
