Now that the backbone of this re markable winter i3 broken, housekeep ers are remarking the dingy look of the home interior. The question of new wall coverings is up. Paper is dear and short lived; kalsomines are dirty and scaly; paint is costly. The use of such a cement as Alabastine, for instance, will solve the problem. This admirable wall coating is clean, pure and wholesome. It can be put on with no trouble by anyone; there is choice of many beautiful tints; and it is long lasting.

A Refreshing bat Little-Noticed Fea ture «f Rural Scenery. The wayside poods in England are one of the most refreshing, it least noticed, feature of rural road% beloved of all the weary animals, but not cele brated in verse or prose, and rarely painted, because they are too confined in area, and have no “vista” beyond them. They are all alike; shallow by the road and deep under the farther bank, from which oaks or elms, or often one single tree, rise with an up ward curve,with a woven mass of roots and rootlets going far down below the surface level. The field ponds, often set at the corner where four fences meet, so as to afford water to four fields equally, are prettier and more varied, but often so overhung by masses of thorn and briars that the fallen leaves make the waters thick, and when still on their parent branches shut out the light and air. When these ponds lie in the center of the meadows they are really beautiful objects. In the more waterless coun ties, such as Suffolk and Essex, they are numerous and very ancient. Rare, indeed, is the farm on which history records the making of any one of them. At one end the cattle enter to drink, and tlv way down is made broad and easy. There the tall water plantains, with pale gray flowers, and the water grasses grow. Beyond, the whole sur face is covered with a narrow-leafed surface plant, more beautiful than the water lily leaves, because they lie pointing all ways, like the leaves of frost crystals, just separated by nar row settings of water. The finest hawthorns and the oldest pollard oaks, full of polypody fern on the lower side, hang over these ponds, and in them dwell a tough and ancient race of carp, proof against all weather and drought, and killed only by the hard winters, which seal the field ponds with ice from lip to lip. In the clay counties, and in places where there was little running water, the larger poqds were only half left to nature. Thfy were dug for fisbpools, or purely for orna ment, though the fish were mainly carp and tench, and not the good trout of the southern pools. The grass is still kept smooth upon their banks,and ‘the sides of the pools are planted with the trees in fashion eighty years ago. The quince was the favorite pondside tree of our ancestors. It grows best by water, and from spring' when the pink blossom and gray leaves cover the drooping branches, till late in au tumn, when the golden fruits dropped Into the pool, and were gathered thence after a week’s bath, which was be lieved to improve their flavor, the tree was always an ornament to the mar gin.—London Spectator. SHE KNEW HAWTHORNE. Mr*. On a Sedgwick Telia of Her Expe rlence with the Noted Author. I do not recollect Hawthorne’s talk ing much at the table. Indeed he was a very tactiturn man. One day, tired of seeing him sitting immovable on the sofa in the hall, as I was learning some verses to recite at the. evening class.of recitation formed by Charles A. Dana, I daringly took my book, pushed it into his hands, and said, “Will you hear my poetry, Mr. Haw thorne?” He gave me a sidelong glance from his very shy eyes, took the book, and most kindly heard me. After that he was on the sofa every week to hear me recite. He was one evening alone in the hall, sitting on a chair at the farther end, when my roommate, Ellen Slade, and myself were going upstairs. She whispered to me, “Let’s throw the sofa pillows at Mr. Hawthorne.” Reaching over the banisters, we each took a cushion and threw it. Quick as a flash he put out his hand, seized a broom that was hanging near him, warded off our cushions, and threw them back with sure aim. As fast as we could throw them at him he returned them with effect, hitting us every time, while we could hit only the broom. He must have been very quick in his move ments. Through it all not a word was spoken. We laughed and laughed, and his eyes shone and twinkled like stars with laughter. Wonderful eyes they were, and when anything witty was said I always looked quickly at Mr. Hawthorne; for his dark eyes lighted up as if flames were suddenly kindled behind them, and then the smile came down to his lips. We laughed merrily, and went off to bed, vanquished, with out a word. I suppose Mr. Haw thorne’s face must have worn that wonderful smile, which always seemed suddenly kindled behind his eyes, twinkled there for a second, and then ran swiftly over his intensely grace tace.—Atlantic Monthly. A Queer Caller. A writer in Cassell’s Little Folks tells a story of a runaway hippopota mus, whose keeper succeeded in recap turing him in an unusual manner. In the days when Mr. A. D. Bartlett was king of the Zoo the hippopotamus once managed to break out of his house. It employed its freedom very properly to make a friendly call on Mr. Bartlett. He was not pfeased to see this huge charge out of bounds, and sent for one of the elephant keepers to come and secure it. To this man the “hippo” had taken extreme dislike, and when he shouted to it, it turned and chased him. Away flew the keeper at the top of his speed toward the hippo’s den the big beast in hot pursuit. The keep er darted through the gate, and bolted up the stairs to the platform over the hippo’s tank. Here he was safe. Meanwhile. Mr. Bartlett, who had been following the runaways, had securely closed the gate, and the hippo was again in prison. .

That Pe-ru-na has become a house hold remedy In the home of Mrs. Colo nel Hamilton is well attested by a let ter from her, which says: "I can give my testimony as to the merits of your remedy,-Pe-ru-na.

It has given me back a beautiful voice, a gift of God; it has brought me once more to my old pro fession. I can talk now, and sing, where before I could scarcely whisper. Can you wonder at my delight? I wish every person wh® is suffering as I suffered might know Pe-ru-na.

I had ”1 suffered ' with flow of blood for four months, and the doctors couia help me but little. They operated on. me three times. It was very painful and I only obtained little relief. I was so weak I could not turn In bed. Then I applied to Dr. Hartman. I did not know whether he could help me or not. but I followed his advice, and used only three bottles of I’e-ru-na and Man-a lln. Now I am well and as strong as 1 ever was, thanks to your remedies.” Pelvic catarrh has become so frequent that most women are more or less afflicted with it.
