To DESTROY Bedbugs.

A correspondent of the Rural
Meao Yorker gives the following as
sure means of exterminating
this pest:
"Boil to one gallon Of water
one-half pound of alum wash the
cord, and after securing the stains
off the bedstead with ashes, wash,
with hot alum water, the floors and
all parts where there are any signs
of them. have never known it
to fail to entirely destroy them /;
if the season is late it will head
them of SO that they will be scarce
the next season. [ have seen
good bedsteads spoiled with hot
water, which only kills such bugs
as it comes in contact with, while
they (the bugs) will not stay on
the parts which have been wet
with alum water"

Tobacco an Exhaustive
Crop.

In speaking of the exhaustive ef-
fects of the tobacco plant, the Jour.
nal of Chemistry says:
"To the farmer that ,cultivates tie
plant, ii proves 6 rObber Of the first
magnitude. 1t possesses a capacity
for plunderipg the soil greater than
any other tree, shrub or plant known.
The amount of constituents which it
carries off can be judged of by care
fully examining the ash as it accu-
muiates upon the end of an ignited
cigar. 1t often remains after the
organic portion is removed, showing
the full size and outline of rolled
leaves, and to the eye apparently
nothing is lost by combustion. II
the wood burned in our heartbs was
as rich in soil constituents We should
need the services Of extra servants
to carry away the ashes. Every
hundred pounds of the dried leaves
shich the soil produces robs it Of ct
least twenty pounds of its most val
liable mineral atoms.
1.-The comparative exhaustive eff.
feets Of tobacco upon soil may be
judged from the fact that fourteen
tons Of wheat, fifteen tons of corn,
twelve tons of oats, remove no more
Of the principles of fertility than a
single ton Of tobacco"

Sheep.

From a valuable paper read be-
fore the New York State Agricul-
tural Society we Gull the following
suggestions in regard to sheep and
their wintering. First, it does not
pay to keep inferior sheep. An
animal worth but one dollar eats
as much or more than one worth
five, while the profit is far less.
Sheep should have good shelter
and regular feeding and care.
The floors of their pens should be
supplied with an abundance OF
clean litter. Tan bark is good
for this purpose. Sheep enjoy a
good clean place to lie down, and
if supplied with it will readily ac-
quire flesh. Never allow stran-
gers in the yard unless attended
by the feeders, as quiet is essen
tial to the healthful repose of the
flock. The value of the manure
afforded by a flock of sheep is very
great, and in few years it will
double the production of the land
upon which they are kept. Some
of the best feeders feed four bush.
els of cut roots each day at noon
Z
to every hundred sheep. Oil
meal fed after the regular morn
ing feeding is recommended com
mencing with a pint and gradual
ly increasing the quantity to a
quart. One day OF lack feeding
will destroy the effect of three
days of good. Water also should
be supplied regularly. There is a
great deal in economy in feeding
which is attained by having the
feed boxes well arranged and keep
ing them perfectly clean. 1t is
good plan to have them inverted
when not in use.

How to Breathe.

The action of respiration should
never be carried on through the
mouth. "God breathed into mans
nostrils the breath of life." The
correctness of the inspired writer
is fully sustained by the modern
physiology. The mischievous
habit OF carrying on the action of
respiration through the mouth in
stead of through the nose, is the
real origin of almost all the dis
eases of the throat and lungs and
even consumption itself. Medical
writers tell us that the excessive
perspiration to which some are
liable in their sleep and which is
80 weakening to the system, is
mainly the result of sleeping with
the mouth open. Whether you
walk, sit, read, write or sleep,
keep your mouth closed except
when engaged in conversation OF
necessary vocal reading.
The philosophy is this: The
velocity of the blood and the heat
of the body itself, depends mainly
upon the quality of atmospheric
cir taken into the lungs. Nature
measures that quantity by the nos.
trils not by the mouth. When
the mouth is employed, the meas.
ure is too great; but just sufficient
when the nostrils are used. An
excess of air overheats the body,
while the passage through the
mouth otherwise injuriously af.
fects the throat. The habits of
children in tLis respect should be
carefully watched and regarded,
Open mouths produce a vacant
and unseemly appearance, and may
be regarded as a very sure pre-.
cursor of habitual colds and sore
throat.

Flounces of lace are much in vogue.
Upon rich materials they are laid on perfect
ly fiat, so as to show the pattern and tex

Very pretty tunics and scarf are made Of
tulle worked with gold or satin spots, or
| flowers of satin.
The sash is quite as important an article
! of dress as it had been for some time past,
and made in such varieties that it is I'M
possible 90 enpmerate them. The plaid OF
Algerine sashes are very recherche; they
are usually fringed at the ends, and tied on
one side OF the skirt, forming pouff.
The ceinture watteau," forming bretells,
is very becoming, especially for young Ia
dies; also the butterfly sash in plain satin,
the bows initiating the shape of the wings
of the insect.
For ordinary costume the chemise russo
has in some measure replaced the corsage:
Many are made open in front, some are OF
velvet trimmed with small satin bows, and
frequently they have revers of velvet Or
satin; sometimes the revers and little bows
are colored. Those of black velvet can Dc
worn without any skirt; made OF pIade
oulard they have a pretty effect if worn
with black skirt. :,
p The round skirt, just escaping the ground,
is still made with three gored breadtbs 10
front and three straight-way at the back.
They are left either without trimming or
with wide founce, a much narrower
founce being put round the tunic. Instead
of founces, ruches, bias pieces, OF cords arc
used, the two former being composed OF tue
material, the latter either of silk or satin oil
a suitable color.
Fringe of small pearls or beads of sky
color, OF with tags and tassels of gold, blue
or green flies. bees and butterflies of pris-
matte hues, are ornaments fashionable for
the trimming Of evening dresses, as well as
light mossy fringe or blonde of all colors
embroidered with pearls, gold or silver.

narrow futed founees bound with blue

three or FIVE little ffounees, and looped up
on paniers by the end of the braces on the
body. These are formed with a small
plisse OF satin (of the same shades as the
edging of the founees), forming a heading
to two small frills Of tulle; large bow Of
satin fastens them at the waist at the FROM

POETRY.
I Love You.

love you-'tis the simplest way =
The thing feel to tell;
Yet, if told it all the day,
You'd never guess how well.
You are my comfort and my light,
My very life you seem;
think of you all day, all night
'Tis but of you dream.
There's pleasurein the slightest word
That you can speak to me;
My soul is like Aolian chord,
And vibrates still to thee.
never read the love-song yet,
So thrilling, fond, and true,
But in my beating heart I've met
Some kinder thoughts of. you.
bless the shadow ofyour face,
The light upon your hair:
like to sit for hours, and trace
The passing changes there.
love to hear your voices tone,
Although you should not say
A single word to dream upon
When that had died away.
Oh! you are kindly as the beam
That warns where'er it plays;
And you are gentle as the gleam
OF fhappy future days.
And you are strong to do the right,
And swift the wrong to flee;
And though you were not half so bright,
You're all the world to ME.
