A Cheep Lee-To GrnhoM. If those who cultivate house plants knew how much better they can be frown in a room by themselves where the temperature can be remilated to uit their wants, there would be more mall greenhouses. The idea seems to prevail that even a small greenhouse costs a good deaL It is possible, and easy, to build a lean-to house eight by twelve feet, and eignt feet high at the highest part and five feet at the lowest, for less than a hundred dollars. Of course it would be necessary to furnish the heat lor such a hou-e from the dwelling with which it would have to be connected by double doors, wbich could be thrown open at night The walls ran be made of posts set in the ground s one would set fence posts, taking care to set them low enough to reach below frost-limit, to prevent heaving. These should be set about two feet apart. All the post should be boarded up, outside and in, with cheap, m itched lumber, over which a layer of tarred sheathing paper should be tacked. Then give the Inside a ceiling with cheap lumber, and the outside a finishing of clapboards. The vertical sasb can be made like regular window sash, or strips can be fastened perpendicularly into which glass can be set, lapping it as Is commonly done on greenhouse roofs. If this Is done, the strip will have to be rabbeted out to the depth of a quarter of an inch on the side from which the glass is to be let In. The glass should not lap more than a quarter of an inch, and should be held in place by double-pointed tacks, which can be AX UTEXrEX?m!

It is well to go over it with a putty-bulb, and spread on white lead and putty, made thin enough to run, by mixing it with boiled oil, one-third of each. The roof should bj ma le in the same way. A sash should be arranged to lift on the roof, also at the eud, for ventila tion. A Ccor is not desirable; simply pounding the earth down firm and hard will do quite a well, ood better. In fact, as the soil will absorb water which it will afterward give off In moisture. The benches or shelves should be about tiro feet and a half from the bottom. Two or three can be run across the ends. A table or stage for plants may occupy the cen ter of the room. Two or three hun dred plants can be grown in such a greenhouse, and they will be much fcore healthy and vigorous than any kept In living-rooms. It will be the pleaaahtest part of the dwelling. r tow Price lor Cattle. It has been suggested, not without Reason, that the low price of cattle is due largely to. extension of tho railroads of the country during the last flecade or two and the consequen t In creased facilities for getting stock to market. It is plain to be seen that if It were not for the railroads there would be no money in the great cattle ranches of the western states and ter ritories, and the probability is that they would not exist. Cattle from these extreme points ean now be rush d Into market in a few hours, and this (act hat given great stimulus to the bosluess of western stock-raising until the point of overproduction has been reached and fabulous profits have eased to be realized. Of course the situation Is ronde all the harder to bear b-3caua of the rapid iecline from fortunes quickly made to the plodding level of little more than living profits. But both the first and the last situation are due mainly to the rapid increase in our railroad mileage. During the lait fifteen years we have built more miles of r. i I road than we did In the previous forty-five years Since 1S74 we have built over So.OCK miles of railroad, and much of these foads has been run intu new territory. In anticipation of profits in the future Instead of realization in the presont The Urvlnt- Orrof Cows. An Avoca (N.

Gooil Salt. Use only the best salt you can get in four butter. Look to quality and not to price. It costs mora to make a pure salt than it does to make that of Inferior quality. The difference In price between the best salt and the ordinary Is so small that it hardly unount to the smallest fraction is tailing a pound of butter Charcoal For Cora-rod Hog. Try the fattening- hogs with char o ?? they will eat It rreedlly and will recover their ap petites if they have lost them by too heavy feeding. The alkali corrects the acidity of the stomach. Possibly It might in time injure digestion, but the fattening hog has not enough future before him to make this of much consequence. Breeding hogs thould not be fed corn. With a diet of milk, bran and roots they will not need the charcoal. FoUodou Feeretlona From Plants 'The old idea, that plants gave o secretions that were poisonous to those it like character with themselves has been generously exploded by sclentllo Investigation. There are no such secretions. Plant exhaust the soil, and when they require plant food, which Is scarce, the supply soon be comes difficult. That is all there is of it. The worst case of so-called posi oned land can be cured by applying the fertilizer of wbich the soil ha been depleted. iua Moms. For calves give a feed of scaldeo. corn meal and grounded oats. Dandelion as a market crop for greens is becoming quite valuable. The best of all foods for stock Is a good ration of bay morning and Dlght, along with a ration of grain. Estimating the value of an article by its appearance often deceives. Tbe quality can only be known by a actual test. Wheat straw may be fed to stock with clover hay if both are cut fine, slightly salted, moistened and sprinkled with ground grain. Bran should be a part of the ration of all classes of live stock, but bran should be fed in connection with ground grain or cut feed. The fence corners should be as clean as any other portion of the farm. They are the harboring places of ver min and a fruitful source of weeds. One gallon of red paint and five gallons of crude petroleum, well mixed, IB claimed to be the cheapest paint that Can be made. It is also very durable. The injury to seed corn in winter U not due so much by exposure to ex treme cold as to the corn not being perfectly dry. Seed corn should be kept in a dry place, where dampness cannot reach It, and tbe cold will then have but little o fleet on it. A perennial beet is Quite a curiosity. but in setting out beets for seed it is not very uncommon to see some which will not send up seed stems, but prow to a very large size without becoming hard or stringy. Whether they will continue so to grow in succeeding seasons we do not know. The cost of producing fifty bushels of oats on one acre is more than 50 per cent less than if the fifty bushels ; were produced on two acres. The cost i of a pound of butter from a cow that produces only llKJ pounds a year is i twice as great as it would be if pre- j duced from a cow that yields 200 pounds a year. Celery is a most popular vegetable. and the introduction of the sel'-blanch-Ing sorts hasiriven a great impetus to its cultivation in private gardens. But as the self-blanching celeries really re quire about the same labor as the other Eorts there is no doubt that many who begin with these will come to prefer the better and better-keepini? sorts. such as Boston market. No person can eng-:i-a in the artifici al hatching of chicks for narly broilers unless he keeps sufficient bens to pro vide the eggs for that purpose. One of the greatest difficulties encountered with broiler establishments is that of procuring eggs that will hatch. Lay ing in the winter season is unnatural with hens, and to collect eggs from all sources is to incur the risk of lack ol fertility of tbe eggs. A Few Oooil Keclpee. Furr Puddujo.

A Lite Toang Womke. She was as gentle of eye as a soft gazelle, thit she was, for this didn't happen this week, although it Is by no means ancient history, says the Lewis ton Journal.

"Watch me to the postoffico," and she was gone. "Her feet beneath her petticoat like little mice stole in and out as if they feared the light." wrote the poet 2u0 years ago, but he didn't refer to the i.ewiston young lady who did this feat on foot, or be never would have said it. She was back in less than ten minutes. reCYtlieeked and laughing. "There,' said she, as she passed up the boots. "Do them up. I'll send them to my father down in Penobscot utity.

Help Teople to help themselves is my motto. Creating the spirit of taork my hobby. Food and money are of little beneflt to the poor, except as temporary bridges. It is work and the spirit of work that they need. It is simply wonderful the permanent good that may be done, the results that may be reached by judicious direction of mind. The unfortunate born and bred are like helmless Teasels. Thoy must be steered aright. Of course, if they were all perfectly born they would not be tfortrnate.H Few of ns are per fectly born. All goodness like fortune is comparative. Some have talent, some genius, some evil, some elements of great good born in them the poor and the rich alike in greater or less de gree. Some are born without the power to forsee. These are our poor. What do I regard as the prime source of poverty? Flaws in the system of the time first of all, but of this 1 have nothing to aar. Mv nlace is to take things as X find them and better what I can. General lack of "back-bone" under lies all permanent poverty. The dis position is built on straw and wax. It topples over with every blast. Care lessness, ingratitude, love of drink, dis regard ol consequence, enuuessnes, hatred of exertion, short-sightednet-s, jealousy, strong appetite and weak will, are all parts of the poverty as well as lack of money. We must expect to find, bear with, and treat disposition as well as stomach and purse. Discouraging? Yes, to those who expect deformity to be symmetrical as perfection and weakness strong as strength; but fnll of reward to those who look the matter in the eyes and do not expect to "gather figs of thistles." No thoughtful human being can sit down in the midst of luxury in a city like this, fold the hands and say "Devil take the hindmost, they deserve their place!" Not even those who have themselves oome up from tbe ranks-self-made men and women dare take tnis view. Were they not started in life with a capital of character, fore thought, intelligence, reason and will upon which they simply have built? Otherwise they too to-day would be "hindmost. " 1 find amongst all classes of poor and everywhere, a frightful! v false estimate of work and its standards. A false idea of equality has killed the idea that all mark it equal lhat U equally well done! This is the prime source of our distress. Men and women strain and strive, and bury themselves in "genteel em ployments" and die in 'genteel" wretchedness. .People do not follow individual instincts and abilities, but the careers of others wholly different. They become poor imitators insteal of good workers. Indeed the rich have taught the poor disgust for all labor aud special contempt for that which is manual. Too well has the lessua been learned. Many a brill'ant career lies in the mauuul be J nierUanio.il fit-Id, if only people would believe it and make ex cellence ol work, not tardiness of oai tion the strndnrd. Again; I reverence our educational institutions, but I must say that a false estimate of education is at the bottom ot much of our distress. There is too much time given to "scboo.ing" an I Jearmug" by those who huvo neither talent nor opportunity for utilizing it. Many woul I ha better off rolling bar rels aDd driving teams with tho pros pect of makiug one and owning tbe other, than tliey ever cn become thro' feeble clerking, writing, acting, p tint ing and teaching. A iit.lo education but gives them fu'so idets, aud they cannot get euoULrh to make them wise. Poor people scrimp aud save and im poverish themselves to send sons and daughters to school and college, who would much better be at home provid ing comforts, food and cinching, for eisters, mothers and sick fath -rs. C f course, those of decided literary and to'iolastio tastes will become scholars, but there is a great herd of mistaken ones selling substance for shadow in this regard. "There is too a disastrously fa'se es timate of dress amongst our poor, for which the well off are also responsible.' Straining after the impossible has created a demand for and supply of worthless imitation in all departments of clothing which swal'ows money like fire and keeps the poor, poor. There is absolutely no dress sense whatever, left amongst our moneyless won. en, of America. The peasantry of any country but this accept its conditions, lives in ac cord; not with them. They dress pic tare, qa ly, comfortably and easily in peanaitt costume. Tiiey live the mean time enjoying life aud aive money. Our poor, both workers and idlers, dress iu rag imitations of their betters, imagining that they are thus made equal with them. The result is dis tress unutterable to themselves and to those who look at them. Most of all I b'ame the women of the poor for the miserable condition of their homes and families. And in thus most of iill do they follow the preced ent set them by their more fortunate sisters. They have absolutely no housewifely instincts, nor do they desire to hate them. They want to pnt everything on their backs. They think and fuss only about clothes and going out even ings in the winter, and badger their husbands about trips in the summer. They read sloppy books, sit around and gossip, drink many of them. They simply will not turn their attention to tne tidying and comfort making of their homes. They make no eiiort whatever, to keep husband and sols faitnf ul and happy. The continual dis order, and discomfort at home is the vmrce of much intemperance. They buy refuse stuff from the stores rather than exert themselves to make healthful food from ingredients. They never think of making up frugal and palatable dishes, but patronize butcher, baker and grocer, run in debt and ruin the health of the family. This feature of poverty annoys, irritates and dis oouroges charitable helpers more than any other that exists. But then we must take this too, bear with it as with the rest, and Lf t them out of it little little. One tronlle with charitable ccoking schools, they use implements fit for Parisian chefs, and teai h the making of omeleV.s when eggs are 60 cents a dozen. We must go into "iieir homes and teach them to utilize the poor ma terials and implements which they have. But mobt of ail we must make house keeping fashionablel At present alas it is the least so of any of the sciences oi happiness. The spirit of the poor must be edu cated as well as the hand. Were the wealth of the Vanderbiits distributed amongst ten tenemeut tenants to-mor row, tuey would become beggars again inside of a year. It would be like civ- iug so m .ny babies cut diamonds for playthings. Faskib Ejdoab Thomas. Up in fkactioxs. Employer(to the new boy) Have you any brothers?" New Bov Yezzir; one Employer One?

The prince of Wales has become a very regular attendant at the sessions of tbe En glish parliament. The fact Is that tbe prince Is very much worried about the chances of the succession in case of bis mother's death, and wants to make as many friends as possible. In 1861 a Maine man was charged with stealing I KM from an express company. The company failed to make out its case and had to pay him S1.0UO damages, but only a week ago, after patiently watobing for all these years, they got tbe drop oa him and he will now go to prison. Walker Fearo, late United States minis ter at Athens, states that brigandage do longer exists in Greece.

He was a master of dialect, and was never afraid ot giving a good story plenty of coloring. It w-s considered a re markable thing In tbe office of the Atlanta Constitution IT a weok went by wttbout a new yarn from Grady. His stories were always witty but never vulgar. Seattle was founded thirty-eight years aro by some thirty or forty men who went there iu tbe Schooner Exact, which had been chartered by a party of California miners to go to Alaska. These young men were landed at Alld Point, and went to the site of Seattle, wbloh was then an Indian settlement and mainly a dense forest. The last venture that we read of in th use of human hair Is a fan valued at f J50, says Harper's Basar. . Deft fingers must have fashioned this unique curiosity, for what appears to be costly lace fringing the sticks is really human hair; baby curls, like unto fairy thistle-down, we doubt not, yielding; to the gentle weeing of summer's softest breesee. General Khalreddta Pasha, who recentl) died at Constantinople, was a remarkable man. Ha was a Circassian and was pur chased as a slave sixty years ago by the Turkish state treasurer. After various adventures he was made grand viiier by Abdul, but his tenure of offloe was brief. The Turks resented bis suooess, and his downfall was as sudden as his rise. A Frenchman at Santa Fa, N. Mu, hat brought from Paris the secret ot tbe manu facture of a new and cheap building mater ial which he is about turning to a good account. In Paris he found many large structures built of concrete mixture, oi which volcanio sand is tbe chief inrred lent This sand exists in vast quantities near Santa Fe. The other known lasredi euts are lime and water, and the secret is in the foartb. Ingredient and the propor tionate use. Stanley says that during his recent Afri can expedition he came across a new aud interesting race of blacks, the Wahoumas, who were absolutely European in type and very intelligent. Tuey appeared to be de scendants of tbe aucient Ethiopians, who settled in some way not known to blm In Equatorial Africa. These people never In termingled with tho aboriginal races, but kept their blood intact, considering the ordinary negroes beneath them. Pundlta Kamabal, that accomplished Hindoo lady who Is so well remembered In New York and Boston, has formed a club of '-king's daughters" among her pupils In India, and says that sbe already sees the effect of it in the steadying and strengthen ing of character in these irresponsible and nndeveloped maidens. She has translated into Marattl tbe tour mottoes of the Words worth clubs: "Look up, and not down," "Look forward, and not back," "Look out and not in," and "Lend a hand.' Among the exhibits at the Indlanapollt meeting of the Western Canned Goods As sociation are two cans containing beef soup, part of a lot prepared for the United States navy in 1819. They are owned by William Daggett, of Indianapolis, whose grand father was at the head of Daggett Kens lett, of New Haven, Conn., la the early part of the century. The contents are sup posed to be In good condition; lf not the fermentation and creation of gases within would break the seal. The soup to-day is therefore seventy-one years eld. A Cleveland artist says that a genuine artist is very much like a singed cat. He is better than he looks. In speaking of artists In general he says that tbe artist of ability does not differ in appearance from the ordinary man. He says that ia Munich when the student begins to draw from the antique he lets his hair grow long and car ries a paint box around with him. When he enters a more advanced class he cuts bis hair reasonably short sad leaves the paint box at home. - When be gets down to genuine painting be wears his hair la the ordinary style and dresses like the ordi. nary mortal. In a recent work oa "The Pphyslology ot Bodily Exercise" Dr. P. A. Lagrange says that fencing, apparatus gymnastics and riding school lessons may be safely pre scribed for the person "whoso Drain languishes for want of work." Hut for "a child overworked at school, for a person whose nerve centers are congested owing to a persistent mental effort in preparing for an examination, for such we must pre scribe long walks, tbe easily learned exer ise of rowing, and, felling bet ter, tbe old game of leap frog and prison er's base, running games, anything in fact rather than difficult exercises and acrobat ic gymnaaties. Tbe force of an tee shove Is illustrated by an accident related In a Montreal paper, when a house and family were swept away: "Tbe man and woman and their two or three children were la the house, which was an old French style affair. The house bad foundations and walls three feet thick ia places. It was about 13 o'clock, and the family were at their dinner, when suddenly the Ice commenond to move. Tbe upper loe struck the vet of shore ice and sent It like a huge knife no the bank, scraping all before It Bofore the family had time to escape the edge of the knife bad struck the house. It cut it clean away and left not a soul alive of the entire family. Hardly one stone remained upon the other, so heavy wai the crash et the ice upon tbe house.'
