81 SwEEr PerAToEs IN PLACE OF HYACINTHs.-
A curious as well as simple and interesting
ing manner: "Take a sweet potatoe, place it
In the mouth Of transparent jar, so that it
fits loosely and keep it in its place by putting
pins in it. Fill the jar with water, and set
It where the sun can shine upon it, or in
place where the temperature is quite even.
Almost any place in the house will do, as in
window where it gets the light. The pro-
gress will at first be slow; replenish the jar
with water as the potato absOrbs it, keeping
the water up to the middle of the potato, and
soon roots will appear from the part in the
water: From this point its growth is quite
rapid, the roots striking downward; finally it
begins to sprout from the top, green leaves
appear, and it continues to grow like climb.

REMOVAL OF THE CAPITAL OF ITALY.-Since
the announcement that Florence was to be
made the capital of Italy, property there has
greatly enhanced in value. As an instance,
ii NAV be mentioned that, two days before
the news of the transfer of the capital had
been spread, Turinese banker had entered
into contract with a Florentine gentleman
for buying house. The owner had onered
Is 600 sterling, and the banker had asked
"a. 900. Whilst they were negotiating, the
great news reached Florence, and the banker
who wished to have the house was Obliged to
nav fI2, 900 for it. A small room, which let
for ten francs per month, has now gone up to
sixty francs at once. Florence can no longer
be called the cheapest as well as the Iovellest
plete the removal of the capital of Italy
from Turin to Florence. What the continent
tai neonle call the Cabinets of the Ministers
will only be removed from Turin at present.
The archives, the offices of the different
branches of the military and civil admlnlstra-
tions will follow. Turin, therefore will not
feel the shock of the transfer so suddenly as
it-had been supposed.
ToRAcco AND THE HEART.--M. Decaisne, in
a communication to the Academic des Sci
ences. exhibits another clause in the heavy
bill of Indictment against the abuse of tobac-
co. He states that in the course of three
years, he has met, among eighty-three invete-
rate smokers, twenty. one instances of marked
intermittance of the pulse, occurring IN men
from 81 to AZ years of age, and not to be ex-
planned by organic lesion of the heart The
absence of such lesion or other condition OF
health capable of inducing intermission OF
the action of the heart, and the fact that IN
nine of these instances, in which the use OF
tobacco was abandoned, the normal action OF
the organ was restored, NJ. Decaisne be-
ieves, will justify him in concluding that,
in certain subjects, the abuse OF tobacco may
give rise to a condition which may be termed
q narcotism of the heart" characterized by
intermission in the movements of that Or
