A Beautiful Aurora. Thursday ' evening shortly after 7 o'clock the faint tinges of light in the north gave promise of an Aurora dis play which was well verified. In a little while the bright rays began to shoot' straight up from the northern horizon,, while in the northeast the tsky assumed u pink tinge which rapid ly deepened to a blood red. At times ' the display was very brilliant and n the course of an hour had moved from the northeast to the northwest when : it slowly faded awav. The display was ' exceptionally brilliant In closing. Redolent of Spring. The name of James VickV Bona is familiar in every hamlet, every home in the Uuited States. 'They have, year after year, as far hack as we can re member, sent their catalogues over the country and followed .them up with seeds, bulbs and plants, until the name is suggestive of the blossoms of spring and the perfume of flowers. Their cat- . alogue for 1894 is out and is 'a work of art.

Only members of the order and their families were pres ent, aud although the night was one of the worst of the winter, the hall was comfortably filled. The programme consisted.of music by the K. of P. band, -j select reading by Prof. Gilbert, music by quartette, with Miss Callison piano, H. York violin, P. C. Maguire, clar ionet, and. F. D. Fisher'coruet, and it was music,too,that would have brought anywhere, as it did Kere, a hearty en core. This was followed by a letter to O'Finnigan from his grandmother, which was read by Capt. Coe, and af forded every one a chance to laugh, which opportunity was properly used.. A diminuendo address by , the writer j hereof, followed by music from the band, comoleted the literary features of the entertainment. After a quarter of , an hour spent in conversation, supper was announced, discussed and pro nounced a thorough success. After supper the guests repaired to the lodge room, where the quartette kindly re-; pealed their first number. TheJJenter tainment came to an end at 11 o'clock and was one of the most pleasant af-! fairs that ever took place.ln ourIittle : cy.

His face is very square." ' FOUND. A shawl, call at Husbands shoe shop. Amonx the Roses. Bags full of roses, baskets heavy with roses, carts laden with roses; roses, roses, a feast of roses, a surfeit of roses, if thai is possible. The women stick roses in their long, braided hair, the men in their belts, the children pull them and play with them and leave them on the road to die. There is roseleaf jam to eat very fresh and sweet it is and thero is rose leaf sir up to drink. Every vase and ves sel is full of roses; they drop on you from unexpected places; great bunches of bright pink heads lying on the ground admonish you as you walk; you can make a bed of them if you will; go to the granary rosary, I suppose it should be called and there you will find as soft and sweet a couch -as was ever laid in the "Arabian Nights" for eastern princee to dream upon. This Is how it came about that I saw Buch a multiplicity of roses. . Wo ful filled a long cherished scheme and went to Kezanlik, the Valley of Roses, in the Balkans, once the -famouse rose garden of Turkey. Blackwood's Magazine. I was chatting with 'a Montague street real estate man in his office a few days Igo. when a woman entered who attracted the attention of both of us. She was middle aged, very plain in face and fig are and wore a black dress which waa patched and ripped in many places. Her entire appearance denoted poverty and misery and indicated that she had a great struggle to keep the wolf from en tering at her door. Instinctively feeling that the woman waa a beggar, we were about to effer her some money, when she astonished us a little by saying she had some private business with the real estate Bian. They went into his inner office and Were engaged for about fifteen minutes in earnest conversation. After she liad gone and my friend had ceased to gaze in open mouthed amazement at her van ishing figure, he enlightened me as to her object in the following manner: "Well, I'll be darned! That woman wanted to buy a (10.000 piece of property I have for tale, and she had $3,000 in ber pocket to pay down to bind the bargain.

' r The homemade pit depicted in the cut was originally described by a corre Jpondent of Popular Gardening. This fit, h the illustration shows, 13 sunk the ' depth of a cellar. . If. this is kept warm by proper openings no other heat ing would bo required. In ve.ry severe weather some light shutters laid over the glass at night would bean additional protection. As. will be observed, soil is banked up right to the front, so thero ia little exposure there. ' : .LEAVES e . i. RAFTER CROSS SECTION OF PLANT PIT. If it is placed against an outbuilding tha t part shown "leaves" would not be Objectionable, but if placed .up against the ordinary dwelling this-part might be of boards, or shingles even, and if lined on the inside with thick paper that would be all that would be required. By having a part of the room in under the building, back of the stage, many big plants, such as figs and oleanders, could be wintered. A place of this sort, which is made with comparatively little money and labor, serves to winter over a large number of plants, and is we'll adapted to the convenience of those who cannot afford the expense of a regular greenhouse. . . . Notable Chrysanthemums. At the late New York chrysanthemum show were exhibited many fine varieties of this popular flower named after per sons of distinction, in illustration of which may be mentioned the Chauncey M. Depew, of Japanese type and deep' magenta purple in hue. The Henry Ward Beecher chrysanthemum is a large Japanese flower, high and cup shaped, very double, with thick, folded .petals.' The Victor is named, after the son of General A. C. Barnes, and is a Chinese variety, incurved, of beautiful form and pink color, shading to silver rose in the center. The Mrs. Langtry is one of the la-'gest white .flowers in the exhibi tion. The Miss Minnie Wanamaker is very much like it. The Fair Maid of Guernsey is distinguished by the nature of its petals, which come out straight, so that you can see right into the center of the flower: The. Billy Florence is a new creation of this year.'- .The inside of the petal is maroon and the outside pink, ; It is of the reflexed variety, with erect petals, twisted at the points. The Jack Van Nostrand is ono of the best and most lasting varieties. , A pot plant of this chrysanthemum took first , prize at the New York Madison Square garden ex hibition last year. It is a deep purple pink, shading to pale lilac, and merges into silver white with age. It is of im mense size. ' Camellia Japonica. A well known and general favorite is the Camellia Japonica. The plant does not need heat, thriving best in a temperature a little above freezing point, but it can-, not beav frost. . Free access of air is of great importance, and a liberal supply of water, bnt not so much as to keep the soil soaked after the needs of the plant are supplied. They are grown best . in well drained borders , under glass. An attempt to cultivate camellias as win dow plants in pots generally results in disappointment, the roots not liking such close! confinement, and there is apt to be too much heat or -nn excess of water, causing the buds to fall before opening. The best soil for camellias is a loose mold composed of black loam, peat and sand. ' . Covering Strawberry Plants. . Mr. Augur told at a Massachusetts horticultural meeting that he likes to cover the plants' pretty well during the winter, and uses from two to three tons ot coarse hay per acre for that purpose. Tho plants do not suffer at all when thus protected, while plants exposed are more or less injured by alternate freezing and thawing. He stated further that he ac cepted Mr. Wood's idea of matted rows, provided they are not allowed to become too much matted. With any Variety he would set the plants three feet apart, which would allow sufficient room for all needed pew plants. This seems to call for a great deal of "work in prepar ing the ground, but that is done rapidly. The Cranberry Crop. As the Christmas season draws near every one becomes more or less inter ested in cranberries. A large part of the cranberries grown in the United States come from New England, and most of these from Massachusetts, in the vicinity of Cape Cod. New Jersey is also a large producer, and Wisconsin and Michigan yield most of those grown iu the west. This season the crop is about 46,41 ) barrels for New England, 157,500 for New Jersey and 94,300 for the west. Total output this year, 698,100 barrels against 700,000 last year and 600,000 for 1890. Au Arbor Tltoo from the Pacific Coast. Thuga gigantea is a beautiful arbor vitas f rom the ' Pacific coast and sup posed by many not to be hardy on the Atlantic slope. It is claimed, however, that it thrives round about Philadelphia iu the nurseries. No plant has been in jured there, though some complaint ia tnado about ,ita not bearing transplant ing well. . ' ' ' ' A flea can jump straight upward and vault over a barrier 500 times its own height. If a man could display as much agility he could lear a wall a mile high at a single bound. If he could jump as far forward according to his weight as a flea can he could make 2 J trips around the world at one leap. St. Louis Rep" "V. Dressing Poultry for Market. :.'. , In dressing poultry care should' be taken to meet the requirements of the special market to which the birds ara consigned for sale. In some sections dry picked birds bring the best prices, while in others the preference is for scalded or steam picked. Some markets call for "drawn" birds; others require that the entrails remain intact. , Hero are two plans presented in The Amer ican Poultry Yard. The second plan is the one used by poulterers who bid for highest prices in the New Yorlf mar kets where the dry picked birds are pre ferred, though both kinds are accepted. For that market the fowls are not drawn, and the legs and heads are left on. Scald or steam the fowls quickly and as soon as possible after killing them. Then remove the feathers as briskly as may be, taking them olf backward and downward in the same direction that the plumage grows. The . carcasses should not be too severely scalded lest this render the skin tender, but a jet of steam thrown npon half a dozen at a time in a good sized tub, or the immer sion of the bodies in boiling hot water for an. instant only, will answer the pur pose. This is one way.. But when there is plenty of time and you are not . obliged id hurry masters, if each fowl is plucked dry directly after slaughtering and while tke-dead body is still warm, it will be found the preferable plan. It is an im portant item in dressing poultry for market to see to it that the fowls to be slaughtered are not in the midst of their natural molt. Their bodies at suoh time are covered . with "pin feathers" that greatly disfigure them and which are difficult to remove. Fowls should always be prepared for eating or mar keting before they begin to shed their feathers annually or after the new plumage is well out. . . Do Pumpkins and Melons 'Mix? "Do squashes and pumpkins mix. with watermelons?'' is a question asked by S. F. White, of Iowa, who says in The Farmers' Review: "This is a question that has been a puzzle to many because we never see a pumpkin seed in a melon, nor is there any change iu the melons or apparent mixture in the seed. Yet I am sure that melons grown near pumpkins will get so mixed with the pumpkins as to be unfit for use." ' Now, says Profess or L. H. Paminel, thi3 is a general be lief' among the gardeners, and I there fore have thought it best to correct an error. Equally general ia the be.lief that cucumbers spoil muskmelons. - Professor Bailey has shown that it is extremely doubtful. .'Ninety-seven muskmelons of many varieties were pollinated with Cu cumber pollen of many kinds.-, No fruit set. Twenty -live cucumber; flowers were pollinated with muskmelon pollen; only one fruit developed. ; ; Y -Here and Hiere.. Guard against, little basins around young fruit treed that will, hold water. The water may freeze and injure the trees. ; ;-. In Scotland some of the slaughter houses are. being furnished with elec trical apparatus for stunning the cattle by electricity. , : . A large number of immigrants are locating in western Kansas. They are buying land in large quantities and will make wheat culture a specialty. : ' The American Bee Journal' says that there are 8,000,000 persons iu the United States who keep bees, aud that tho num ber of colonies is about 3,000,000, pro ducing nearly 75,000.000 pounds of honey annually, ' worth $10,000,000, and wax worth $000,000, . . Bfustodons and Mule Foo'ed Hogs. . Science knows of the mastodon only as "an extinct fossil proboscidian, pachy derm,, closely allied to the elephant of 'i modem, fauna." Who knows, however, i but that these "Rupposed-to-be-extiuct" j creatures may be as plentiful in the ; "land of the midnight suu" as mule foot , cd hogs seem to be in Arkansas, Mis souri and the Indian Territory? Three weeks ago I would have been much more surprised had 1 met a real live mule foot ed hog than 1. would .have been to have met a whole herd of the aforesaid fossil proboscidian pachyderms." Since that time everything has changed. The hun dreds of letters sent in by kindly div posed friends are convincing proot that mule footed hogs are more plentiful iu the south than office seekers iu Washing ton. iit. Louis Republic. ; - Or ta Grippe, thoupth occasionally epi f'omio, is always more or loss prevalent. Tho host ri'mpdy for this complaint is .
