it is nninatedal -whether the remit of a
lottery drawing is published as news
without pay or as an advertisement with
pay, newspapers containing the result of
the awarding of such prizes are non -mail-
able. The only exception made are ire,
the cases of newspapers publishing such
matter in order to expose the concerns.
It is held also that the awarding of a
prize to the person guessing nearest
the lawnber of seeds in a watermelon
woul t be a lottery, though the guessi g
of weight of a melon would not constitute
a lottery if the guess were made after the
melon had been lifted. The award of a
prize to one guessing nearest the number
of beans in a clear glass bottle, set in
plain view, is also held to be a lottery..

A lady's Reasous for Net Dancing.
1. Dancing wculd lead ire into crowd-
ed rooms and late hour, which are Wad
riots to health and useiulness.
2. Dancing would lead. nee into very.
close contact with very pernicious coni -
p51»'; and evil communications corrupt
good manners.
8. Dancing would require me to use and
permit .freeciorns with the other sex of
which 1 wonld be heartily asharaed, and
which I belie.. e to be wrong.
4. Ministers and good people in general
disapprove of dancing, and I think it is
not safe to set myself aeainst them • if a
thing be even doubtful., I wish to he on
the safe side.
5. DOI:ming has a bad name, and I mean,
to study things that are pure and loyal
and of good report.
6. Dancing is generally accompanied by
drinking, and drinking produces a great,
deal of evil.
7. I am told dancing if a great tempta-
tion and snare to young men, and I da
not wish to have anything to do witk
leading them astray.
8. There are plenty of graceful exer-
eises and cheerful amusements which,
have none of the objections connectee
with them that lie against dancing.

Probably more than one-half of the
failures with window gardening arise,
from mistakes in watering. In theory,
watering is a simple operation. All that,
we are supposed to do is to give our pot-
ted,plants the requisite moisture for their.
needs, in lien of the rains and dews they
enjoy out of doors and are deprived of. In,
practice, however, this requisite "-
amount calls for a good deal of judgment.
Aside from certain elements absorbed
from tlie air, all plants are fed and then
growth provided for by various chemical
substances found in the soil, and appro-
priated by the plant's tissues. These,
substances must be first dissolved and
made diffusable by moisture ere they can
be carried up in the form of sap. The .
water not only conveys this food, but it
is necessary in itself to fill out the tissues,
and to give necessary fluidity to the sap.

have, however, in Quinine Wine, when
attainable in a sound un.adulterated

ills. By its gradual and judscious use,
the frailest systems are led into con-
valescence and strength, by the influence
which Quinine exerts oil Nature's own
restoratives. It relieves the drooping
spirits of those with whom a chrome
state ef morbid despondency and lack of
interest in life is a disease, and, by tran-
quilizing the nerves, disposes to sound
and refreshing sleep—imparts vigor to
