act upon the suggestion incorporated in the fol lowing they would probably save their constitutions from wreck and their lives from being cut short there Is no doubt that milk freely used is an antidote to lead poison in such cases an ounce of prevention is worth a good many pounds of cure A remarkable case is given in the journal de mederine Mede Hede cing cine of the effect ot of the habitual use of milk in white lead works in some french works it was observed that in a large working population two men who drank much milk daily were no not t affected by lead on the general use of milk throughout the works the colic vanished entirely each operative was given enough extra pay to buy a quart of milk a day from 1868 to 1871 no cases of colic had occurred house plants everybody

unique flower basket may be made of a common turnip by scooping out the inside of it leaving a shell about an inch thick piercing the tho bides sides to allow a double string to pass through gb and then filling it with earth and planting it with seeds of the star cypress or any other quickly growing vine after a few weeks of hanging in a sunny window the vine will be running wild all over the sash and the turnip will in time put forth leaves which will turn up and conceal the whitish bulb A carrot scooped out in the same way bat filled with water instead of earth makes a specially pretty hanging mass of green on account of its feathery and graceful foliage A pretty effect is obtained by filling a celery glass two thirds full of water and placing on top of it a piece of cotton batting filled with wheat seeds in fact there is scarcely an end to the variety of beautiful results obtainable in this line by the exercise of a little ingenuity sanday schools A short tim time e since prof
