The rudest, ,poorest kind of a dwelling is given beauty and real digni- ty by the training of vines over the walls, something that can be done so easily and with the expenditure of but a trifle, that it is strange more people do not avail them- selves of these natural decorations, The common woodbine is -one of the best "all- round" vines for this purpose, affording a a beautiful mass of green In the growing season, and a most gorgeoue showing of dolor in. the autumn, but many prefer olim- bers that afford beautiful blossoms in the blossoming season, and Where this is the case one will hardly make a mistake in choosing some variety of clematis, a strong growing plant, of good foliage and of most beautiful flowering. It is particularly effective when massed upon the wall of a house that is painted a dolor that well sets off the peculiarly rich color of the blossoms —a soft gray color affording a beautiful back -ground for the rich purple of the most commonly -seen clematis, other tints being no doubt as well suited to higbten thoeffect of the blossoms as is the gray. A clematis will certainly disappoint no one who wishes to relieve the bare effeot'of the house walls with a beautiful climber. kill tuberculous oattle. This amount includes inspectors' fees.

The report of the conditions of trade in the various business centres of the United States are not of an encouraging nature. So far the new year does not promise much in the shape of a revival, but con- fidence in the future continues .strong. The currency bill has been a source of much trouble, and though less anxiety is felt in this respect for the present, the treasury deficiency remains, and there is no stay to the export of gold. The tendency in prices is certainly not higher,nor does the demand seem likely to augment, while as a rule stocks ars reported to be large. Cotton is in light request at lower prices. Weather conditions are unfavorable to trade, especially in the east. Collections are reported as good in the circumstances, and showing an improvement during the past month. Generally the feeling is good, and belief in an early improvement, is freely expressed. (iENERAL.

All Classes or Continental 'Europe Tatting co the Field of Honor. It is a curious feature of the age, says the London Telegraph, that the practice of clueing, which has completely died out in this coon try,should not only be still in vogue on the continent but spreading with alarm- ing rapidity from the army and nobility to 'all classes of the population. A peaceful citizen who minds his own business in Austria is now liable ab any hour of the day or the night to receive a formal challenge from his bootmaker or his bakers who a day or two later may assume—for this occasion only—the character of his butcher. In France, it is true, the affair of "honor" is seldom quite so dangerous as the weekly trials of skill among German university. students, known as ""menaur," which often leads to the loss of a bit of an ear or nose, always end in blood and once in a while culminate in death. In Italy, Austria, Hungary and other lands an encounter of this kind is a much more formidable matter. Thousands of well-meaning men and promising youths are yearly disabled, crippled or killed on the altar of "knightly honor." Every man in those countries carries his life in his hands, so to say, and journalism, politics, the bar, the army and-navy—in a word, every walk of life except the church—are closed to him who conecientiouslyrefuses to give or ac- cept a challenge to mortal combat on the slightest provocation, real or imaginary. Our foreign correspondents have more than once described sanguinary duels in the army the principals of which—mere lads still in the military school—were bosom friends ig- norant of what they were fightiug for. In, one ease two youths were playing in the school yard when an officer drew near and asserted that one had touched the other on the cheek and thus insulted him. The boys, who were in a better position to know that a spectator looking down -from a two•pair back window, denied the state• ment emphatically, but the officer gave one of them his choice between calling out his friend and being expelled from his estab- lishnient. The °'meeting" took plane a fair days later and when it was over one of the two friends and comrades had to be carried oft to the hospital dangerously wounded and disabled for life. Heroie Treatment.

"0, Holy Mother, intercede for me, and take me away from this pain," is the heart- rending prayer that little Alice Hart, the six-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Hart, of. Anderson Ind., is mur- muring aa•she writhes in her bed under the influence of morphine which does not ease her excruciating pains. She is the victim of one of the most peculiar maladies ever heard of in Anderson, and one that the several leading physicians in charge are unable to diagnose or, locate in medical books. Six weeks ago she was taketi' down suddenly with itching pains in the feet. The doctors were mystified and more surprised three days later when the feet began to discolor and the flesh to shrivel up. Since then the discolorment has reached to the ankle and the feet are dead- passing into a carbon rather tha n into an ossified state. No life is left, and while the members, but for the discoloration, are perfect, they are like chalk and as brittle as feelingleaa. The father the other night started to straighten one of the little toes, when warned not to do so by the physician, lest it would break or snap off. They have uo doubt that such would have bassi the re- sult. To prove that it is not, gangrene, which affects only the flesh and outer sur- face, hot irons that would burn any one else have been applied and held there, and, although the brittle subetanee was heated all the war through, she did not know that it was there. The same thing was tried With cold substances with the same effect, and there no longer remains any doubt that below the ankles all is dead, and, instead of decaying, nature has disposed of it in a novel. way. The pains come on her per- iodically, and during the spells oho con- tinually, in her pure, ohildrsh devotion prays for a, deliverance from her pains. Several days ago her little brother died, but she does not now know it. • She thinks he is sick in' the room above, and Often sends her parents up to stay with him. The doctors do not know as yet whether they will be able' to arrest the malady. Amputation may be necessary to cavo the child's life, while it must necessarily fold low should elle minds°, as the feet would snap off if she bore any vreight upon them.

A Practice Coning Into Vogue in Now York—Few Pallbearers Nowadays. The custom of holding funeral 'services at night is growing steadily in New York City. Its growth dates from about five years ago. There were night funerals in New York before that, but they were corn• paratively few. The growth of the custom is due to several causes. The night funeral is less expensive, and it meets the convent. ence of a much greater number of friends of the dead. With the increase of societies and their growth in membership the loss of a.day or half a day in attendance at the funeral of a member has' come to. be a serious tax, and in this respect the night funeral makes a saving of time. In line with this economy of time is a decided change, within five or six years, in the custom with regard to pallbearers. There are now perhaps twenty funerals without pallbearers to one with them. Some of the night funerals are held at home, some at church. If at church, the body is taken, after the servioee, to the undertaker's, and there kept until the burial. If at the house, the body may be taken to the upder• taker's dr it may remain in the hogise over night. The morning service, a'prayer by the clergyman, would be attended by only the immediate membera of the family, who would take leave of the dead alone. The intermentwould be without further service at the grave. The uumber of funeral sera vices held at undertakers' is•also increasing. No charge is made for the use of the• shop for this purpose. It is in some respects more economical than a funeral at home or church, and, with larger space than within a house, it brings all attending together instead of separating' them in. various rooms, Patriotle Japs.
