Hardy Plants.
Dorotha Lincoln in Farm and Home.
To everyone who owns the land on
which their flower garden is made I
would say plant something which will
live in the ground through our severe
winters. You will find as you grow
older that such plants will give you
more satisfaction than the annuals alone
can give. ^ Lilies are beautiful anc
most varieties are as easily grown as
corn. Planted in good garden soil ant
protected with a mulch of leaves in the
fall and enriched by working in well-
decayed dressing about the roots in the
spring, you have something to delight
the eye. The white day lily blooms in
September. It is very fragrant and is
free bloomer. It increases rapidly
and the plant is very ornamental of it-
self. Thfi leaves are large, of a light
green and beautifully veined. Roses
are easily obtained and, I think, easily
cared for. The soil for successful rose
culture must be. rich. In the spring
cut off all dead branches, and cut back
the living ones on -third of last sea-
son's growth. Last spring I did not
irune as severely as usual; but after
the leaf .buds commenced to swell I
rubbed off fully one-half of them. The
result was very satisfactory. The roses
were unusually large, and the new
¡ growth of wood was thrifty. Roses
flower on new wood; pruning induces
a large growth of new wood, therefore
if you desire roses, don't be afraid to
use the knife. Allow no roses to wither
or go to seed on the bushes. It injures
íe plant. Cut them as soon as they
jegin to fade, or better still, cut them
when fresh and gladden some friend
with huge bouquets of roses. Another
lardy plant is the Dicentra, sometimes
called bleeding heart. The blossoms
are pink and very graceful. Its culti-
vation is very simple, an occasional
working of dressing around the plant
jeing all that is needed.

Shutttng Doors.
Carrie van Bpps. in Farm and Home.
In going through life we have many
doors to guard. In the first place there
are the doors of the ears, which must
be closed against bad language, against
listening to what your companions say
in speaking ill of others and listening
to the evil advice of some persons.
The doors of our eyes, too, must be
shut against bad books and idle novels,
and against«taking pleasure in seeing
evils that we should turn from. We
must also close them sometimes against
fine articles exposed for sale in the
shop windows, or will never get into
the habit of saving money. I think
many times we girls think more of our
clothes than we do of how our charac-
ter are growing; whether for good or
evil fruits. It is not our clothes that
tell what we are, but our characters.
The door of our lips demands special
care and attention, for the lips guard
an unruly member. This door is always
ready to buret open, and if not carefully
i guarded will let out angry, vulgar,
trifling and wicked word*. We should
ceep it shut until we have laid up a
store of knowledge and sense, or at
east until we have something worth
saying. ^'Speech is silver but silence
is gold," is the saying of a great and
wise man. We should not allow our
to! gues to speak evil of one another,
or to taste that horrid tobacco and
strong drink; they are poison. I think
the lips are the hardest doors to keep
closed at the right time; at least it is
the case with me. The inner door of
our heart must be kept closely shut
against temptation, for conscience, the
doorkeeper often becomes very careless
if we do not heed his call. He some*
times even drops asleep at his
think we ai
, , , . at his post,
and when we think we are doing well,
we are fast going to ruin. We should
keep away from the paths of evil of
every form. Golden, not bad words,

Washington is the banner city for
lady bicycle riders. At the present
time there are nearly 200, There is
also a ladies club composed of 60
riders with a club house of its own.
Much attention is given to securing
good roads and the suburbs and
pictures spots make the rides delight-
ful for ladies. In Philadelphia there are
about 50 lady bicyclists and Chicago
has about the same number. Buffalo
started this season with several riders
on the new machine. New York city
has a riding school for ladies on the
"safety" bicycle on Ffty-second street
and Broadway. There is a large floor,
80x100, and the lessons are private,
with but two pupils on the" floor at a
time. Boston has comparatively few
lady riders, but their number is fast in-
creasing, and Lynn and Salem each
boast one who can ride any wheel.
Rhode Island wheelmen have an
honorary membership composed of
lady riders, and they are taking an
active interest in the ladies' bicycles.
They are all going to the Cottage City
"meet," and Rhode Island will be rep-
resented by several lady riders.

describes the condition of those per-
sons who are said to be "going down
hill," or "going into a decline." There
is an indiscribable weakness of the
system, a general lack of vitality. They
cannot tell what the matter is with them.
They only know that they feel miser-
able in mind and body. They are
gloomy and despondent. They have
tried this and that remedy prescribed
by their friends or the doctors. They
have failed to receive any benefit from
them. They reach the conclusion that
tbere is no help for them and that they
must die. Now the fact is that the
trouble originates, in nine cases out of
ten, in impure blood. There is poison
ous, effete matter in it that ought to be
got rid of. But how can this be done?
Simply by taking Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery, which acts on the
blood and various organs of the body
in such a way that the man or woman
using it seems to be made over,—re-
constructed. It is guaranteed to bene-
fit or cure all classes of disease for
which it is reccommended, or money
paid for it will be refunded.

den heliotrope is a very sal
>lant, easy of cultivation and increases
very rapidly. The plant is low grow-
ing with light green fine foliage, but in
rich soil the flower stem runs up four
or five feet. The flowers are lavender
colored and delightfully fragrant.
Aquilegias, better known as columbines,
grow freely from seed, and when once
established will grow for years with
little or no care. There are double
and single varieties. The colors are
red, pink, white, blue, purple and
canary yellow. The latter is a con-
stant bloomer, giving blossoms from
early summer until winter.
Iron In Alabama.
A great Scotch ironmaster once said
that Americans made great mistakes
in locating their iron working estab-
lishments away from coal mines and
often from iron mines, too. They
made their products needlessly expen-
sive and tried to build up an iron in-
dustry where nature never intended
there should be one.
The iron men of Alabama have put
their furnaces on the ground where the
iron ore, coal and lime are. With the
mild climate of Alabama the result is
that in this state pig ton is made more
cheaply than anywhere else in the Un-
ion.
There are now in Alabama twenty-
four blast furnaces. Nine more are
building. Most of the furnaces are
gathered about the town of Birming-
ham as a center. Seven railroads
already pass through this place, and
two more are nearly completed.
Since the iron industry began in
Alabama none of her furnaces have
ever shut down except for repairs.
Another iron town is Bessemer, in
northern Alabama. In September,
1888, it was incorporated, and now
has a population of 4,000. The town
is only two years old this April, yet it
now has the largest rolling mill in the
south. It contains already two large
blast furnaces, with five more in pro
cess of erection. The firms engaged
in the iron industry are largely men of
southern birth. They look confident
ly forward to the time when they will
lead the country in iron products.

But satisfaction is nociere; this is the'

in the field. This shutting doors is a
serious business and one on which our
well-doing in this life depends.
Why Texas Is Great.
Mempltla Avalanohe.
Texas has some mighty good talkers
traveling around the country. That is
one reason why Texas is rapidly be*
coming the grandest empire on the
face of the earth. They polish off
the subject something after this fash-
ion:
The resourees of the state are un*
imited. They call us a prairie state,
yet we have 25,000,000 acres of vir*
;in pine forest. We are a cattle-rats*
ing state and a wool-raising state, and
still we raise more cotton than any
other state. Recent investigations show
that we have iron in large quantities in
our hills.
The reports of the agricultural de*
partment at Washington show that in
>roportion to her cultivated acreage,
Texas has returned ten per cent more
income to her farmers than either Ohio,
Indiana or Illinois. And when you
take into consideration the low price
of farming lands, compared with those
of the states mentioned, the security
of loans on farms in Texas is better
than either of the other states can
offer.
There are fewer paupers in propor-
tion to population than are contained
in any other state. And, altogether,
there is no better place, socially or
otherwise, in which to establish a home
and a business. The census of 1890
will be a revelation of a startling char*
acter with respect to Texas. Her
population increased from 800,000 in
1870 to 1,600,000 in 1880, and in
1890 it will be 3,000,000.
This is from Chairman Exall of the
Democratic State ExecutiveCommittee.
He is a business nan in politics, it
appears. Perhaps the most powerful
argument which Texas has to offer,
however, and of which Mr. Exall said
little, is the fact that the statutes of the
state make 1 a per cent the legal limit
when specified in the contract, and 8
per cent is the legal limit without.
Farm mortgages pay 10 per cent inter*
est.
