I should like to tell of a chean little house wo built lust fall, writes Mrs. Q. D. Tho winter was unusually so- vere, yet all my flowers except an ai- iiiiery plant wore saved, even tho ten der begonias. As it may be of use to some other beginner I will give the pian oi mis notice. Strong posts were driven into the ground at intervals of six feet. Upon each sido of tho posts inch planks were nailed. Tho space between was filled with sawdust rammed down close. Tho boards on tho iDside were planed so as to make a smooth ceiling, but the outer ones were not dressed. Over the ontsido a layer of asbestoj is tacked, and over this is a heavy weathsr boarding. Tho roof has a double ceiliucr, as well as a thick shingling. A coaling of sawdust about threo inches thick is placed be tween tho Bhiugles and the first coil ing ; and between tho two ceilings overhead is a layer of asbestos. The dimensions of this littlo house aro only Cil2 feet, yet it gives room for ns many plants as I care to keep. Height of tho front is nearly eight feet, height at back is six. It'iropts south, nud is lighted by sliding win dows, which come within three feet of the ground, below them being ceiled and weather-boarded liko tho other walls. At tho cast end is a glass iloor. I havo heavy duck curtains outside tho glass. Theso are dropped down during the worst weather, and left down every night in the middlo of winter. Tho flowers aro placed on a set of fcteps ei.'ht inches apart. Tho lower ones nro twelvo inches wide, tho two upper tix inches. Tho most ten der plants are put on top. I open tho windows on every warm day iu winter to luako tho plauts hurdy. The only heating apparatus is a coul oil stove. This is kept burning wheuevtr I fiud it necessary, aud it gives warmth enough for o Houth Ten nessee winter. I don't know whether such a struct uro and such heating ap- liunees would be safe further north or not. Detroit Free Press. nosKs ron tub gaudest. Thousonds of people who lovo roses, mil havo plenty of room in their gardens or duoryards for a bod of rotes of larger or smaller dimensions, nro ufruid to attempt to grow them, because they iniagiuo it requires too lunch skill. A great deal of this may bo laid at the d.ior of our older-school gardeners uud florists, who, from narrow-mindedness inoro than anything else, havo tried to envelop everything pertuiuing to floriculture iu mystery, uud to epread the belief that to trow even tho commonest flowers required their skill and superintendence. Cer tainly no moro mistaken idea regard ing the culture of tho roses could pos sibly exit.t. The main metor required is good plain common souse, which, if tightly applied, cnuuyt fail to make it very easy to grow successfully the enmeest kinds of rests. Whnt to Avoid. Never attempt to grow roses tinder the shade of a tree, or even whero the roots of near-by trees can reach the rose bed, and ro- member that tho roots of established trees will travel far beyond the spread of their branches in search of now and richly manured soil, aud when once they reach it thov will soon monono lizo tho whole, leaving tho proper oo oupants a very scant proportion of food to exist upon. xo loso can thrive nnder such conditions. Never chooso a place to plant roses that ia very wet or nndrained, as extreme moisture will rot the roots, and tho poor rose will soon dio of rapid con sumption. Neither should a gravel or sand heap bo selected, for the simple reason that such positions aro so porous thnt all tho fertilizing given will bo washed away by every rain that falls upon it. Theso are tho prin cipal extremes to avoid in selecting a placo for planting roses. Preparation of tho Hose Bed. Dig up tho soil to the depth of ciirhtcen to twenty inches, thoroughly incorporat ing a liberal proportion of well do- composed manure, and if tho natural soil is of a heavy clayey nature tho addition of threo or four inches of sand will help it materially j on the contrary, if the foil is of a light, sandy or gravelly naturo tho addition of a liberal proportion of a hcovior or cloy soil will bo very beneficial. Whero tho bed has to bo cutircly propared with new earth I would advise select ing a good, fresh, loamy soil tho sur face fivo or six iuehes deep from an old pasture is the host. First removo tho natnral soil altogether, to tho depth given above, roplaciug it with tho new soil, adding ono load of manure to every fivo or six of soil, thoroughly mixing tho whole, and when tho bod is filled np a littlo higher than tho original soil, to allow for settling, it is roady for the rose plants. PInntiu!; and dro of Rosea. Placo tho plants about eighteen iuches apart each way, and should dry weather sot in give them a liberal soaking of water onee a week as long as dry weator con tinues. JJo not givo water in homeo pathic dosos, for rosos aro like robins. they liko tho best there is and plenty ot it. it win also very greatly help them to produce continuous bloom if they nro heavily mulched with short mannro or chopped straw ; even a coat of coarse, dry grass is better than nothing. In tho following spring. after all frost is past, go over them, shorten back any long shoots and cut out any dead tips that may appear ; keep all weo.ls cleared out at all times as soon as they bIiow themselves, and renew the mtilchinar in tho spring ri prnned. When tha plants hao started into new growth go carefnlly over tnem, ana as soon as the first green worm or caterpillar is seen on the leaves, syringo the loaves both nnder and above with water, then dust them with hellebore powder a largo pepper box or Hour dredger is a good thing for this purpose. Kepeat this threo or four times before the flowors open, and theso pests will all disap pear, and you will bo rewardod with such a crop of beautiful flowers that you will wonder why yon had never tried roso growing bolore. Yon will find it both a pleasure and a profit pleasure in the beauty and grace it will add to your home, aud profit in giving you employment and recrea tion in tho open air, thereby often saving doctor's bills and discontented minus.

If the buds aro kept piuched off they will inako iiieo littlo bushes for next winter's blooming. Don't let tho sunshine beguilo you into putting out your hothouse plants too early.

It may bo asked: "Has not a man a will power, and can he not of his own volition abslnin from what he knows to le slmnlesolf-dostrnutlon?" My answer, unhappily, must be that a man who has fairly fallen into the drink habit, whether conitant or Intermittent, has scarcely nnv will power while tho lit Is on him, anil as I havo said, each fit loaves his will feebler and loss able to withstand the temptation of a sedative of which ho has proved tho power, and of which ho Is too prono to forget the danper. Tho Intermittent drinker, as soon as he has alwtalned for a fevr weeks, forgets the dis astrous effects of his last attack. Ho believes himself as temperato and discreet a man as any of his friends who takes his pint bottle of elnrot at dinner and seldom takes more. Ho does not see whv ho should not do like wise. It Is tho hardest thlnR to convince an Intermittent drunkard, jrho is aide to alwtnln for a period, thnt ho can never, bv any chance, become a moderate drinker, Kever tholoss, tho princlidoof his drinking Is dis tinct from that of n moderate man.

To somo cxtont also it af fords an indication of tho horso's dis position, A fidgety horso usually has the tnil, like the cars, always in motion ; when about to kick, the tail is drawn down ward between the legs ; whou tho ani mal is fntiguod or cxhnustod thon it is drooping nnd frequently tremulous; and with somo horses, when gallop ing, it is swung about in a circular mnnner or lashed from side to si do. Thero can scarcely bo nuy doubt also that, like tho tail of birds, it assists in the horse's movements, as when the nnimal is galloping in a small cirolc, or rapidly tnruiug round a corner, it is curved to tho lunor sido.
