HOME BOOMS. 8ABAH HEKTOir. What makes the bouse most charm ing is the individuality of the adorn ments. Everything about the home has its meaning, whether for the eye, the heart or the baud. The sofas and chairs and tables are so arranged that they seem to be fulfilling a mission of life the chairs are for the we try or the supple, perhaps the indolent or the active. There is a sense of fitness and harmony that gives everything a charm. Do you not remember going into rooms that gave you a sense of Ti stfulness and ease? A happy home is the single spot of rest which a man has upon the earth for the cultivation of his nobler sensibilities. The rooms of which I will especially speak on account of their comfort, are those in houses where the means are too moderate to give an order to an upholsterer whenever fancy dictates but where economy, good taste, and hospitality prevail. The sitting-room (or drawing-room) should essentially be the "home"-room. There should be a cozy chair for mother, with a comfortable head-rest, aohair for father to read his evening paper in, with a foot stool to rest his feet upon, wlrle he j Mrs. Florence Grey, is to be the edit ghter's music. There , reus. She says her purpose is "to give listens to dan must be book-shelves in this room, even if the house contains a library. The shelves must be fi r the late periodicals, for books to 16 picked up and laid down at pleasure. No "centre-t ible" in this liomo room of ch er and com fort, but a table with a firm hold upon itself and with nothing upon jt that caunot be haudled and moved readily, j In tbe early evemnps au open fire if , the mosi desirable lor all luxuries. 1 am sure "Iteveries of a JJachelor" tonld never have been written, but .or an open fire, with its lights and shadows, its live coals and dead em itself part of the home and family no over-burtlening of color or drapery! Such a room is full of peaceful and happy associations for host and host ess, as well as for their friends. Al ways a few flowers or rnnuintr-ivv or growing plants in the room if possible. 1 have seen a room, the despair of its yonn mistress at first, by tact, inJus trv, taste and moderate means, become a home-room such as I describe, full of peaceful and happy associations for ail. Instead of the many homes where dis order and strife are common, what changes niiht be madd if woman would exert her influence for harmony and restfulness in her home. A man may travel where he will, home is tbe place to which his heart fondly turns. X have seen many a grown man look perfectly happy to get back to his mother's room and lay his head upon her bed and pillow. He may have crossed the seas and visited places, but the old remembered room was dearer than all eise to him. Girls, instead of being first in the aunts of pleasure, strive to learn the art of beautifying your homes. There are so many dainty, pretty and inexpensive things, for the purpose of household decoration, that can be made at home now. The decorative linen and art work are exquisite. No one can realize how much the scarfs and ornaments in a room, beautify it, until it is stripped some day of its ex tras, leaving the plain dresser, t jbles and chairs, without their adorning. When you go an ay for a visit, you do this, to save unnecessary work for the servant, but the husband soon ex presses his disapproval of the deserted room. If you don't exactly know how to embroider or hem-stitob, learn rifiht away and spend some of the long win ter evenings in fashioning some of the beautiful and dainty things that can be made at home with so little cost. In advocating the beauty of adorn ment in bed-rooms, I mean thnt boys' rooms should be equally as pretty as their sisters'. Nothing refines a boy more than to surround him with dainty arti cles. It teaches him to be careful, and to appreciate delicate things that need careful handling, and when he has a wife and home of his own, he will en joy with her, his beautiful surround ings and be fitted to appreciate her the more for his bringing up. Leisure Hours. THE THIRTEEN SUPERSTITION. Of all minor superstitions, perhaps the most common, because confined to no one nationality or class of people, is the dread of sitting at the table around which are seated thirteen per sons. J. li. Abarbawell, in Bel ford' Magazine, gives the supposed origin of the superstition. An idea of its prevalence among all nations may be obtained by advertis ing to the well-known fact that the Turks have almost expunged the num ber (13) from their vocabulary. 'J he Italians never use it in making np the ; .... . 1 . numbers for their lotteries, and the thirteenth card in one of their games bears the figure of death. No hor 'e in Paris I ears tbe number 13, and i that city the Quartorzietnes are recognized j ersons iu society who hold themselves in readiness to be in vited to any dinner which otherwise would have the fatal thirteen nt the festal board. The thirteen superstition, briefly stated, that if thirteen persons, either by accident or design, dine to gether at tbe same same table one will die within a year. Its origin has been traced back t the old Norse mythology, in which oc curs the story of the gods sitting down to feast with Loke in the Valhalla. Baldnr was the thirteenth at the table, nd had to die. It is hardly likely, though, that so obsonre a tradition connected with an anoient faith limited to a comparative ly small locale would be able to spread its pernicious influence so broadcast over the earth. The popularly accepted origin may be taken as the right one. The Last Supper which so immediately preceded the crucifixion of the Savior, must al ways have excited a sentiment of awe in the breasts of the faithful, which, in n unenlightened age, easily degener ated into a feeling of superstitious ter ror, Leonardo da Vinci, in his famous painting on the wall iu the refractory of the lomiuican convent of Santa-Hsritt-della-GriH-ie in Milan, unwitting ly, perhaps, gave the first impulse to the superstition, iu the mind of the (ffnnriinl mnofipw whn bnliAld the twfdvn Apostles and the Master at table. To see before their eyes the fatal feast itself must have affected them far more profoundly than coul i the most eloquent sermon on the subject. In this picture, tco, we see Judas in the act of spilling the salt; thus it is fair to presume that both superstitions have practically the same origin. PRACTICAL SAYINGS. Fob fruit stains, dip the spots several times in hot milk. Keep flowers fresh by putting a pinch of soda in the water. Keep a small box filled with lime in your pantry and cellar; it will keep the air dry and pure. Prick potatoes before baking so that the air can escape; this will prevent their bursting in the oven. Soda is the best thing for cleaning tinware; apply ith a damp cloth and pub well, then wipe dry.

"The sweetness of the violets' deep blueeyes Kissed by tli lire. ah of heaven, seems colored by ih skies." Byron. Anions our most beautiful wild and garden flowers are those belonging to the order Vmiaecie. Poets have sung their praises and iuterwoven them in their verse in all ages. Perhaps the mo t popular of all our flowers is viola tr. color, ncd it has been called many fantastic names from the pretty con ceits devised about it. Besides pansy (from the French pe sec, thought,) we have "he.irts eiise" "none-so-pretty" or ".Nancy-pretty," "Johnny-jump-np," "pink-of-my-John," "jump-np-aud-kiss-me," "call-me-to-you," "three-faces-under-a hojd," and "herb-Tiin-ltv." Shakespeare calls it, "Love in idleness," in the Midsummer Night's Lrenru." I'ioa odornta, sweet violets, far ex ceeds all others of its class in rich per fume and deserves to be more general ly cultivated. We have in this country about twenty different species of violaeese, some of which are described by Mr. Brotherton in his article this week, and all worthy of a place in any garden. No flower has been more celebrated in song t'mu this modest violet: Shakespeare, Kents, Tenyson, Byron, ail sing its praises and in our own , , u" ., 1 UB e'Ten " DlaCtt in their vera a It. ia tha nna nt our native violets to which Bryant reft in those beautiful lines begin ning; "When ti when birds begin to swell.

But U. the sweet, sweet violets, 'the flowers that opened first." There are but two other genera of plants in North America belonging to this order, Slea, or green violet, an erect leafy plant with incoLspicuons gr -enish flowers found iu the Eastern Mates, and Ioniditim, a little-known genns bob ngitig to the far West. CHOICE PAXSIES. A writer iu The Haylower gives the following list of fine varieties ofpansies for bedding purposes: Black Knight is a dark, real beauty; its fine glossy b'ack petals, Boft and velvety in appo irance, and contrasting finely with the large pure white satiny blossoms of Snow Queen and Snow Fairy. The Yellow Bird is a beautiful new sort of the Giant Trimardeau type, a large pure yellow variety, of vigor ous compact growth. Little lied Kid in',' Hood is a charming novelty, of a bp liant bright red color; this should eertaiuly be included in our collec tion. There are many exquisitely beautiful combinations of color; what artist can reproduce "true to nature," the delicate shadings and tracery of the striped and mottled beanties? In the magnificent strain of Uloriosa Per fects, we bae the blossoms of "red dish Bteel blue," margined with red and white, a lovely combination. The lower petals of Lord Beaconfield are of a rich deep violet hue shading to white in the upper petals. Thunder Cloud has a large coal black flower bordered with red and white, exceedingly showy. The rich deep blue of Emperor Wil liam makes that variety very desirable. For massing in our flower beds no plant is more desirable than the Pansy; the white and light varieties, enriched by the darker colors, present a lovely combination of shades and markings, exceedingly beautiful.

It seemed to be looking into the hereafter, the unknown future. And then you recalled how it brightened, how it recovered its rosy hue, how it became a plctureof happiness and joy. Do you remember these things? Many people do, and gladly tell how the health re turned, how happiness came back, how tbe world seemed bright. They tell how they were once weak, nerveless. perhaps in pain, certainly unhap py. They tell of sleepless nights, restless days, untouched food, un strung ueives. And then they tell bow they became happy, healthy and strong once more. You have heard It often In the past, 1 ave you not? i ou have heard people describe how they were cured atd kept in health?
