Saving a Cab Fare.
Here's a pretty tale of domestic
economy from au English paper. He

luxury aud extravagance, aud wheu
bad times came aud he had tu gu down
to the city aud look carefully after his
shillings it \sas his pretty aud tender
little wife who helped him aud encour- !
iged hltn by example In small savings. :
3ne fence he never would face, j
Lie balked at taking a bus. "It j
night pass the club, you know, dear,
ind the fellows at the windows." ,
5ne evening, however, ho returned ra
liant to dinner. Tenderly embracing
lis life's partner, be murmured: "I've j
lone It. darling! All the way for three- 1
R-nceH' Love and gratitude were In j
ler eyes as she said: "My brave boy! j

'ectlouate cheerlness he made answer:
'So, dear! Cot box seat: real good old
lort. the driver. Told me lots of stories
md was quite chatty. Capital chap!
Save him a big cigar and half a crowu

Decay of Laughter In England.
I am perfectly certain \hat half our

ingb enough. A good, sincere smile
i something rare lu these times, a
laughing face" Is scarce, and It !?
sldoiil indeed that one hears a good,
nging laugh.? London World.

How Frost Affects Plants.
I 'hints do not freezfc to dentil In win
ter, but perish from thirst, 'l'he proc
ess is simple. The old en uses the
withdrawal of the water from the cells
of the plant, forming ice crystals out
side of the cells. The frost, cooling
and contracting the surface, acts as it
sort of pump, and us soon as the cell
is emptied of its life giving fluid the
plant dies. The truth of this theory
has teen proved by numerous careful
experiments. Great variation was
found In the amount of cold necessary
to cause the death of vegetation. Some
plfiuts dry out quickly tud are killed
before the freezing point Is reached.
Many plants will survive zero weather,
and tome die only at 20 degrees be
low. Certain vegetable growths never
freeze There are forms of bacteria
that even when Immersed in liquid air,
the Intensest cold available, come out
of tL-eir bitter bath as chipper and live
ly as ever.? Chicago Tribune.
Cement Block Poultry House.
We had rather have a single walled
poultry house built of good Round lum
ber than any other kind that has yet
been devised, says a writer In Relia
ble Poultry Journal. Cement blocks
might answer very well nud undoubt
edly would make a good and satisfac
tory building. but_vye believe the first
cost would l>e much greater than that
of a wooden building, and for strictly
practical purposes do not consider that
the first cost of a poultry building
ought to exeee.l "0 to Co cents per head
of the Cock which it is intended to
house In it

^ Precious Plant Stones.
Anions the many strange things to be
found lu tile Philippine Islands are
the so called "plant stones" encounter
ed now and again lu certain vegetable
growths. The bamboo, for Instance,
according to Kultur uud Xstur, con
talus a stone very similar to the opal,
but on account of the rarity with which
it Is found It Is much more costly than
the opal. In many thousand cane stalks
oat dowu and carefully examined there
uiny perhaps be one In which this beau
tiful greeuish pink scintillating stone
litis been formed from the uilnute parti
cles of siliceous deposit that imparts
its Intense hardness to the outer cov
ering of the cane. The bamboo cane
stone is known as tabasblrs. In the
Interior of some cocoanuts a stonelike
secretion is found that Is not Inferior
lu brilliancy to the most beautiful gen
ill jo pearl.
