The Cnnna is among the most popu lar of nil foliage plants. Its leaves are l.irire.lredv pro uiced.ricli in color, and liive a tropical air to the plant which is very fleet ivi lieu it is ell prowu.roiue varictit s ha e toha'e of alight grei n, while others are so dark as to lie aim- st the color of Ih-ouzp, with peculiar me tallic shadings which give the plant a moat s'riUmg pearatice. For a lo tune this plant w..s crown onlv for its foliage, l.iit the newer kinds have Ion, spikes of most richly colored flowers, resembling the iliuliolus somewhat iu shape, while j nrtaking in a large de gree of the peculiarities of tue Orchid in g neral aj piarance. The French florists have iiveu us a dwarf utr lin. which produces very large, tiue flowers and the future of the t'auua will pril alily make it as conspieuou. among dowering I uts as it has been in the past among fid age plants. The flowers run through all shades of red, scarlet, and crimson t yellow, and many varie ties combine these colors in a most striking and peculiar manner. Hut it is not alone as a plant for out door that the ('anna deserves gen eral cultivation. 1 find it one of the most elective for house and green house culture. If strong roots are potted rather lite in spring, in rich soil, and the plants are kept in pots through the season, yu will have fine speci mens fur wmti r use. It is acharacter lstie of the plant that it keeps sending up new st i'Ks !rnin the roots as long us you choose to keep it growing, there fore you will hne new foliage all through the w inter season, and conse quently a bright, fresh-looking plant at all times, if v. m keep the old leaves cut otT as tliey ri'.eii and turn brown. These new stalks will give bloom in winter. For room-decoration few plants ure in. re ef!e. tive. A large specimen is tine for the centre of a buy window.

How pleasant it most be for the weary horse to have the tljht checks ana strap of his harness unbuckled and for the tired ox to hare the heavy yoke lifted froro his neck. Ti.e chf ck on the horse and the yoke an the ox have always seemed to us cruel, torturing instruments. Then, added to these cruellies, la too oft;n a cruel master. The practice of thrash ing the patient , x to Increase hiss, eed. or whacking him across the nose when he Is desired to stop, is certainly not the characteristic of a good teamster, any more than the habit of yankin. twitching, and whi p;ng the horse is the indication of a good driver.

There is nothing more unreasonable or wasfful than this style of m:ii aging horses. Good sense requires that a horse be started, urged forwu d, and stopped by the voice, and il.t resort should never be bad to the v .ip unless absolutely tecesry. A J.orse then knows what is rtquirtd ot .iin, and the annoying and d.mgerou-. I .bit of sud denly starting and jumpii.g Is avoided. A great n ajority of the spavins and rlngbom s, no-, to spe.-k of the heaves and numerous other hur-e ailments, are caused by the rough and thoughtless driving. NAMING OF PLACES.

There are some things that are be yond the control of the farmer, but the breeding of scrub stock of any kind or rendition is not one of them. Nor is the raising of scrub crops, the making or pojr butter, having tumble down burns or fences, a dirty house yard, too in ny mean curs, or an absence of fruit on the tarni. These and many others are under his own control. Manufacturers keep right up with the la'e-t and most approved methods, and still have time to look after State and National legislation iu their inter est. Farmers, however, are often told to h t t' e latest and most approved Uiethoos goto thedemniti in bow-wows, and look to the legislation to lift the mortgage and feed the bab'.es. Fartu eis must look both ways, as do manufacturers. The ridiculous practice of naming American places after European cities, from mean incidents, instead of pre serving the fine sonorous Indian appel lations, is fast gaining ground. Jt i interesting to know that there was a sensible law on this subject in vopn. many years ago in Michigan. Its ob ject was to preserve the noble and har monious old Indian names, which, hi d !een given to every river and lake, ai d forest and mountain, in the country , and which, by a most execrable taste, have in mauy instances leen displaced by the hackneyed names of European citi. a, or of distingtiishe 1 men. '1 he law provided that no town fehould be named alter any o'her place or after any man, without lir-t obtaining the consent of the Legislature. The con sequence was that Michigan was desti tute of Ijondon, Faris and Amsterdam for a long time, and, unlike some of her sister Mates, she boasted neither 1 beWs, Palmyra, Carthaje nor Tr y. No collection of log huts, with half a loT. n rrnrrrr stores, was honoied with the name of laverpool: nor did any em bryo city, with a college oranucauemy, iit'coii'aiiUation, receive the appropri ate name of Athens. She bad not a Moscow and a Moroc co, in the same latitude, and an Edin burgh and an Alexandria within thirty miles of each other. Babylon, Sparta and Corinth, though they had leen transplanted to every other part of the Union, were destined never to flourish on the soil of Michigan. No Frankliu or Cireen or Jefferson, which would make the five hundredth, no Washing ton, which would make the ten thou san.lt u of the same name, was to be found in her borders. On the contrary, her rivers and lakes still retained the full, rich swelling names which were ltsbiwed upon them by the red men of the forests, and her towns bore the names of the sturdy chiefs who once battled or hunted in their streets. Strange, when we have such a noble nomenclature as the Indians have left us. that we .hould copy from the worn out names of ancient cities, and which awake no feelings but ridicule, by the contrast bet we -n the old and the new. M. hawk. Mi ss soit, Ontario, Erie, how infinitely superior to Paris, London, Fishville, Bnttertown, Bungtown, etc. The feeling which prompts us to per etuute the names of our revolutionary heroes by naming towns after them is highly honorable; but it should not be forgotten that frequent reetition (es jecialy in cases w here the town is ut terly unworthy of itsoamesake) renders the" nam vulgar and ridiculous. It set mi that, not content with driving the Indians from the soil, we are anx ious to obliterate every trace of their existence. It would le refreshing to see a better taste beginning to prevail U on this subject, and we hope that the example of Michigan will be taken up, if not by legal enactments, at least If he force of public opinion.

But the brain cavity is smaller in proportion to the skull than in any other known reptile. The unique characteristic of this family, aud such as have not been observed in Ihnosaurs, are these: the presence of the rostral bone in part, and the conse quent modification of the interior part of the head to form a sharp cutting beak like that of a turtle; a norn-core in part on the nasal bones; enormous horn-cores (three feet long in the larg est specimen) on top of the head very like those of domestic cattle; a Luge expanded crest extending from the parietals behind like the collar of one's coat; and modincations ol tbe occipi tals. 1 here are teeth in the back part of the jaws, similar to those of tte J i- drutauru, a herbivorous animal. 1 he three horns, with the b ak and massive frontal bones, constituted an armor for the head as complete as any known, and has determined the form and structure of the whole skulL The ex panded parietal creat behind was evi dently of secondary growth and neces sary for the attachment of the power ful ligaments and muscles supporting the head.

Gross, of Philadelphia, was second in reputation aud honors only to his distinguished father, the late Dr. Samuel D. Gross. Mr. Gross, the younger, was abo a member of the faculty of Jelitrsou Medical College, ami filled the position of lecturer on clinical surgery at the Philadelphia Hospital. He outlived his father but a comparatively short period. When the question concern ing alcoholic liquors was propounded to him, he wrote in reply as follows: lf a man must drink he cannct do better than to stick to good whisky. I am aware that many people, including very high medical authorities, are of the opinion that beer and wine, because they contain a smaller perceutage of alcohol are less injurious than the stronger d stilled liquors. That may possibly be true per se, but beer ani wine drinkers daily imbibe their favor ite tipples much more 1 trgely than the drinker of spirits, thus taking more alcohol ir.to their stomach, and, there fore, hav ng larger quantities ot it con stantly in their blood aud tissues than the man w h3 cheers or even inebriates himself with good old rye or bourbon. The more constant the presence of al cohol iu the system the more rapidly and certainly does it produce its ill effects upon the heart, blood vessels, stomach, liver, kidneys and nervous system. The man who goes on a spree' and is drunk for a day or two, and then abstains from drinking for two or three months, is not nearly so apt to experience the evil influences of alco hol upon his physique, as is the man who drinks two or three quarts of beer or wine daily, but Is never real y intox icated In his whole life. Constant indulgf-nce, though comp ratively mod erate, is worse than occasional excesses. Then again, from the fact that the bib ber of wine er beer drinks much larger quantities of his tipple than does the spirit drinker of his, the former, by the excessive quantity, imposes a much severer task upon his liver, kidneys and bladder than does the latter. We con stantly hear the cry: "It is not the temperate use b it the abute of alco holic liquors that Is Injurious. There can be no more mischievous error than I this. The worst forms of organic dis- ! ease are produced in scores of th u- : sands of people in the United States ! annually by the very moderate butt habitual use of the mi'dest forms ot , alcoholic drink, and that in people who have never been under the influence of liquor in all their lives. For all these reasons, and mai y others which I have ' not the time to enumerate, tlie man who ' must drink or will drink bad better Stick to good whisky." '.Ma'ika."

Trcin inquiries which be made he learned that the larger part of the chiccory is made from beet roots, dried and burnt or roasted, and pie pared in the same manner as pure chic cory. The mixture usually sold as chiccory is comioei of one-third of the pure article aud two-thirds of roasted !eet root.
