Although the heliotrope ls a tender plant, extremely sensitive to cold, it ls ono of the host plants for cultivation Indoors, lt seems to have few diseases and ls usually free from insect enemies, while with abundant water and sun¬ shine and sufficient artificial heat It will bloom all winter long year after year and is so tenacious of life that when cut down to a mere stick it quickly shoots forth luxuriant new wood. In addition to this the more tlie plant Is pruned the more luxuriantly lt blossoms. The blossoms should be cut with a considerable length of the new wood upon which they grow, and If nt once fully Immersed In water and then placed deep In a well filled vase they remain fresh and odorous for many days. Tlie plant 1h a little difficult for amateurs to propagate from cuttings. though with plenty of water nnd sun and some bottom heat the young cut¬ tings quickly root and prosper. A Tnt Reply.

It seems that be was a picture framer, and as I.' wont about canvassing for orders be was in the habit of collecting signa¬ tures to his petition.

A^d naturo with Ayer's Pills, Finnish Marrinup Fetea. afarrlafis fetes In Finland, as in Nor¬ way, are often prolonged for several days, even among folk of huinhlo rank. One peculiarity, which may excite more surprise than approval among eligible suitors In our own country, ls that tho Finnish lover never himself "pops tlie question" to the girl of his choice. Tho momentous proposed is made through a tfilrd person, calh-d tho "tillman," to whom the happy couple give a present when hhs delicate mediation proves suc¬ cessful and ends In I wedding.

U.irrml I'ldtllra. One of the greatest fiddles that ever wore known was to bs leen at the French court at the time of Charles IX. This was a viol so large that several boys could be placed inside of lt These buys used to sit inside this queer instrument and sing the airs Uiat the man who handled the bow was playing on the viol outside. The effect ls said to have been very beautiful, though it would seem as if the presence of the lads in Its Interior would seriously In¬ terfere with the tone of the "great fid¬ dle," as it was called. Many years aft¬ er another huge Instrument of this kind was used at concerts in Boston. It was so large that to play it the fiddler had to stand on a table to uso his bow at tho proper point on tho strings. This instrument was called "Uio grandfa¬ ther of Add h's."
