How the JapeneSe Restore Faded
Flowers.

A Nagasaki correspondent of the
n. Y. Herald, writes:
After a bouquet is dropping beyond
all remedy by fresh water, the Japan
ees can bring it back to all its first
glory by very simple and seemingly
most destructive operation. ] lad
received some days ago a delightful
bunch of flowers from a japanese ac-
quaintance. They continued to live
in all their beauty for nearly two
weeks, when al last they faded. Just
as l was about to have them thrown
away, the same gentleman Japanese
gentleman came to see me. Ishowed
him the faded flowers, and told him
that, though lasting long time, they
now became useless. ooh no, sir, "
said he "only put the ends of the
stems into the fire, and they will be as
good as before" l was incredulous ;
so he took them himself and held the
m-ends in the fire until they we're
completely charred. This was in the
morning; at evening they were again
looking fresh and vigorous, and have
continued so for another week.
What may be the true agent in this
reviving process, l am unable to de-
termine fully; whether it be the heat
driving once more the last juices into
every leafet and vein, or whether it
be the bOuntiful supply of carbon fur
nished by the charring. lam inclined,
however, to the latter cause, as the
full effect was not produced until some
eight hours afterward, and as it seems
that, if the heat were the principal
agent, it must have been sooner fol-
lowed by visible changes.

cy, where it does not really exist, is
an insult on his disernment, and must
ultimately inspire him with aversion
and disgust" 1t is not for US to say
how many put on the semblance of
delicacy as covering for idleness, or
from any of the weak motives that
prompt such an affection-and happy
will it be for the household of any one
who can be aroused from such pitt
able state.
Could women only know how many
husbands are bankrupt because their
wives are f'delieate, how many chill
dren are physically, mentally and
morrily neglected and ruined, because
their mothers are "delicate " how
many servants become dishonest and
inefficient, because their mistresses are
"delicate" the list would be so appal-
ling, that possibly we might hear of
an anti-delicate ladies association, for
the better production of family happi-
ness and family economy Rural

HOW to MANAGE Frult Trees.

| The seeds Of most kinds of fruit tree:
should be planted in the autumn.
The seeds of the stone fruit-peacf
plum and cherry-should be cleansed
from the pulp as soon as ripe, anC
either planted, or put into sand imme,
diately. If seeds are left in the pulp
until after fermentation mas com
menced, their vitality will be injured
if not destroyed. So, too, if permit
ted to remain out of the ground all
winter and become dry, they do not
start so readily as if planted in the
autumn.
Cherry pits are sometimes put into
box and mixed with sand and placed
where the frOsts Of winter will act
upon them, and then planted in the
spring. l do not like this plan, be-
cause the seeds start very early, some
times before it is convenient to plant
them. The little plants are very ten
der, and so easily injured that many
are destroyed by the removal from the
sand to the seed bed.
The safest way is to prepare the
seed bed early in the autumn, scatter
the seeds in rows upon the surface,
covering lightly with earth, and leav-
ing spaces between the rows for the
purpose of passing along to weed the
bed. The rows may be six inches, or
a foot wide. Some people SOW broad
cast, leaving no spaces, but in that
case, if the bed is a large one, the pro-
cess of wedding will be somewhat te-
diOus, and many plants will be tram
pied upon and destroyed.
At one year old, many of the seed
lings will be of a suitable size to
transplant to the nursery rows for
budding.
Plumb pits may be treated the same
as the cherry.
Peach pits are sometimes leftin bar
rels over the winter, cracked in the
spring and planted in the nursery
rows. This is not a good plan.
Prepare piece of ground in the
autum, scatter the pits upon the sur
face, cover slightly with earth, and the
frost of winter will crack them.
By the middle of may the plants will
be coming up; they must then be taken
up carefully, with a transplanting trow-
el and set in the nursery rows. The
rows four feet apart, and the plants
about nine inches apart in the row.
By this method, the trouble and ex-
poseure of cracking by hand is saved !;
the rows are full, and there are no
gaps, where the seeds refuse to veget
ate, as is often the case where the
stones are carcked by hand in the
spring, and the seeds planted in the
nursery rows.

first year. Professor J. G. Holmes,

and jealousy underneath; cordalily in
our grasp. with no connecting nerve be-

esteem, no genuine respect. no sacred
sincerity; invitations issued with a fraud
lurking in their politeness; getting TIE

greetings Of indiscrlminate and exlrava-
CANT welcome, receiving them with an

illusions, ornamenting them with another;

pure and just foundation, and restore the
social world to its primitive and upright
simplicity az. D. Huntington.

NO. 19.
Skelet9n LeaTes and FloEers.

A correspondent of the Evening
Bulletin gives some excellent diree~
tiOns for the preparation of skeleton
leaves and flowers as ornaments, which
Of late have become so fashi5nabel for
the mantle, or as subjects for stereo-
seOpic observation.
The leaves should be steaped in rain
water in broad open bowls, and ex-
posed to the sun and air until all the
soft parts are perfectly decayed. The
water should not be changed, but the
bowls filed as the water evaporates.
Some kinds of Leases will be ready to
clean in the course of month or six
weeks; others will require a much
longer time; but as it depends very
much on the heat of the sun, and the
age OF the leaves when gathered, no
precise period can be named. In some
leaves the skin will peel off in small
particles, in others it can be peeled off
entirely, or it may decay altogether.
The bowls should he examined oo-
casionally, and the leaves ready for
cleaning removed to. a basin Of soft
water; they should then be gently
rubbed in the water with the fingers
till every particle of skin or green
pulp is removed from the fibre; should
this not succeed, the stronger leaves
may be cleaned with soap and flannel.
This will finish the skeletonizing pro-
cess.
The i5ers should then be carefully
dried. having first pressed them in a.
soft towel, in order to remove the
moisture. They are now ready for
bleaching, and may be laid away until
sufficient quantity is collected.
The liquor for bleaching is prepared
by pouring quart of boiling water
upon quarter of pound Of chloride
Of lime in the powder. This should
be allowed to stand until cold, and the
clear liquor strained off, which may be
bottled for use. When wanted for
bleaching, mix with cold water, in
about the proportions Of one part of
the liquor to twenty of water, in shal>
low dishes; lay the leaves in, and let
them remain till perfectly white, when
they must be removed Immediately
and dried III blotting paper. If this
solution should not be strong enough
to bleach them in ten or twelve hours,
a little more Of the liquor must be
added; but care must be taken not to
use too much, or the finer fber5 will
be destroyed.
In the dissecting process, the leaves
invariably come on their stems they
may be mounted when bleached, either
among branched stalks previously
dried and bleached, or on fine wire
covered with white tissue paper.
The leaves should be gathered when
fully grown, or the fibre is NOT sufIi-
ciently strong, and some leaves dissect
much better than others. Among
these are the poplar, maple, pear, ivy,
holly, magnolia, &c; the seed vessels
of the large Oriental poppy, the thorn,
apple and henbane, Gissect well, and
many smaller seed vessels, after they
have shed their seeds, may be dried,
and then bleached without STEPPING in
water, as first directed.
