Duration of Vitality in Seeds.

= There are few plants, the seeds OF
(which will not grow in the second year
after maturity, if kept in n cool place,
neither too dry nor too damp. The
seeds of most of the grains and grasses
Twill keep their vitality for very many
,years. Instances have occurred OF
wheat having been grown from seed
supposed to have been buried 1900
years.
Parsnip and onion seed can only be
depended on. to grow year after it ma
lures. Beans are safe only for two
years. as also are carrot, egg plant, and
several of the pot herbs. Radish. let
tuce, spinach, parsley and Asparagus
are good for three Years. Celery, cab
bage, cauliflower alld turnip seed-may
be tolerable reliable for four years after
maturity. Beet, mangels, tomato,
squash, pumpkin. cucumber and melon
ARE geod for five or ten Years after
maturity, and the four last, which are
bi sexual, generally produce the largest
proportion of female blossoms, aud con.
sequently fruit, when grown from seed
that has been kept from three to six

There were cold bread and hot biscuit

peaches and cream; cold tongue and

apple pie and floating islands; tarts,

cake, plain and frosted and fruit cake

Well, there | sat, ompletely puzzled.
What to eat didn't know. In Eng
land we never have pies at tea. and we
very seldom eat preserves at any time.
We put them IN puddings sometimes,
or have them on the table after dinner
with the desert, but they are not consid-
cred healthy by the mass of the people
there. It's a fact, l actually did not
know what to eat, but finally made my
meal Of bread and butter, and a very
small piece Of plain cake. However. |
soon learned to be as bad as the rest,
and learned, when had company to
tea, to crowd the table with plenty OF
rch, Indigestible food, rather than be
thought stingy by my neighbors; but
my conscience used to trouble me all
the more, and to this day like the
English way the best, and think it by
far the most sensible and healthy

Care Of Bees.

Mr.. Tupper gives these hints in the
Rurat World.
AS soon as the bees fly freely in the
spring, II is important to examine every
hive and know their exact condition
II the bees are in movable frame comb
hives, 1t is easy, by lifting out the frame,
to see the amount Of the stores, and also
discover by the presence or absense of
the brood, il the colony has queen. 1t
is also easy, with bees in these hives, to
supply their wants. If n colony has too
little honey, it may have u frame or two
of comb, containing honey. given to it
from one that can spare il. II neither
eggs nor brood, in any stage. are found
in hive the lst Of March, you may be
sure the hive Is queenless. At that pc
riod it is not usually best to attempt to
supply the loss. The frames, bees and
ali, may be put with some other that can
make room for them. They will not
quarrel, but unite peaceably. Quecnless
bees are not disposed to quarrel, and
other bees will not trouble them II i'm
this condition. Amy colony where the
bees do not carry IN pollen briskly in the
first warm spring mornings should be
marked as suspicious and watched.
QueenIess hives, and those that contain
little honey, are not apt to display ener-
gy in gathering pollen.
Every worm should be dispatched -
Under even the best colonies, some may
be found If you take the trouble to look.
When my bees were in box hiv,s, l
never omitted looking on the bottom
board of each one every morning, and
destroying the worms. Every one left
soon becomes u miller capable Of laying
many eggs, that become worms very
soon--every one destroyed puts All end
to four possible generations in u single
season. Destroy every worm in spring,
and you can have no miliers hatched in
your hives that season. In localities
where willow. hazel, elm and soft maple
abound, bees find natural pollen almost
us soon as they can fly i'm the spring. In
other places 1t is Of great advantage to
place rye meal in shallow vessels near
the bees every pleasant day, AS n substi-
tute for pollen. II no stream nor brook
is near your bees, provide them with
water in some way; they need it, espe-
cially in spring, and many are lost ii

Care and Preservation ofthe Teeth

Care and Preservation ofthe Teeth.
1t is II mistake to suppose that white
ness is alone desirable; the yellow tint
being preferred to the pearly, as it indi-
Gates durability and strength.
AS many children are ambitious to
have white teeth, they make use of
lemon juice, salt and acids to effect
their purpose, generally without the
knowledge of their parents.
All these are ruinOus to the enamel
which, If once in jured, is sure to be fol-
lowed by the decay of the teeth. The
enamel is to the teeth what the peel is
to the apple.
All tooth powders to be avoided. Not
that an occasional application Is cspe-
cially injurious, but because, when used
at ALL they are used too often, and the
result is softening Of the gums and
crumbling Of the bone.
Ifthe teeth have been neglected, a
little magnesia upon the brush will re-
move the tartar, after Il few applications;
and when once cleansed, if the teeth
are brushed with Iukewarm water after
each meal, and especially before going
to bed, they will require little extra at
tentiOn.
When the gums are swollen and
bleeding, AS is often the case with per-
sons who have neglected to use a tooth
brush, the evil may be remedied by
using u bit of alum the size Of a small
bean. Let it he dissolved in the mouth
twice a week, bringing it in contact with
the gums, and then ejecting it, Horace
Walpole says in one Of his letters, that
he learned this remedy from Mrs.
Grosvenor, who had not spec on her
teeth till her death.
Although alum is not poisonous, 1t Is
constituting, and should not be taken
into the stomach.
A bit of soft charcoal held in the
mouth and gradually chewed, is most
excellent for sweetening and purifying
the breath. 1t arrests decay and 10 re-
freshing to the user.
In both cases the teeth should not be
rubbed, or the enamel injured by fric-
ton.
Ifthese simple directions are followed
to the end Of life, good teeth, pure
breath, and additional beauty will be
the result.

Day Of Rest.

One day in seven is the day Of rest
And the question arises-what is rest?
n only sleep or inactivity, says the
Philadelphia Lcdgcr, that want is alrea-
dy provided for. Nearly third of our
time is thus spent; more than third
with most people in sleep and refresh
ment. The seventh day is in addition
to all this; and its observance is proba-
bly, the oldest custom in the ttworld. The
Hebrews III their early history are re-
ferred to as men who already recOgniz-
ed the Sabbath or rest Of the seventh
day. Its observance is enjoined upon
them rs the continuation of an old insti-
tuition, not the commencement of new.
The day of rest is intended for the relief
Of our powers in their activity. In a
word, it is repose by the change Of men
tai occupation. not the cessation Of all
employment. The Christian, and the
good man of every faith, finds rest from
the daily cares % the working day
world, and the turning of the mind aud
thoughts in a different direction from
their daily routine. The person who is
interested in their religious and benevo-
lent employments proper to the first day
Of the week, may be rs much occupied
and engaged on that day AS on any 9TH
er, and still rise refreshed upon the Sec
ond day, feeling that he has enjoyed an
interval of repose.
The repose of Sunday is All escape
from the monotony of our daily lives,
and in the consciousness that it is not
only IA privilege but u duty on that day
to dismiss all business and all mercena-
ry care for the morrow. He who under
stands the day, and duly values it. rises
above the s"rdid conditions and require
nents of labor. lie is prince for one
day. He is indeed, better than prince.
He is man relieved by the mercif,,l
goodness of the Creator from the sen-
tence, by the sweat of thy brow shalt
thou eat bread" The Sunday rest is
the richest reward for labor, the best and
most certain wages Of industry to those
who appreciate the privilege and know
how to improve it. The rest of Sunday
is the comfort of hope. The man who
thinks and believes, torgets his mortal
ity, and rejoices in the light of the
promise Of an undying life. lie is en-
nobled by manumission from the ordi-
nary conditions of existence, and carries
with him from his Sunday rest new
strength for the week day struggle If
the Sunday rest We're designed to be an
addition of one seventh more to the
third of the time which nature eXacts
for physical recuperation, we might dis
pense with the sun on that day-as too
many do by dosing away its hours.
But Sunday is Il day for the HUe man,
aud he who sleeps is dead for the time.
Sunday is cheerful, and, properly
spent, All ennoblng, strengthening day,
aud he who would secuIarze it would
rob us of our best inheritance.

The Boy to Succeed.

A few years ago, a large drug firm
in this city advertised for boy. Next
day the store was tbronged with ap-
plicants, among them, a queer-looking
little fellow. accompanied BY a woman,
who proved to be his aunt, in lieu of
fs;thless parents, by whom he had been
abandoned. Looking at this little waif,
the merchant in the store promptly
said: Cant take him; places all full:
besides he is too small. 4 know he
is small, said the woman, but he is
willing and faithful There was a
twinkle in tbe boys eyes, which made
the merchant think again. A partner
10 the firm volunteered to remark that
be did not see what they wanted of
such a boy-he wasn't bigger than
pint of cider But after consultation
the boy was set to work. A few days
later call was made on the boys in the
store for some one to stay all night.
The prompt response of the little fellow
eontrasted well with the reluctance of
others. In the middle of the night the
merchant looked in TO see if all was
right in the store, and presently diseoy-
cred his youthful prOtege busy scissor
ing lables.
"What are you doing" said he, II
did not tell you to work nights"
81 know you did not tell me so, but
I thought I might as well be doing
something"
In the morning the cashier got ord
ers to "double that boys wages, for he
is willing"
Only few weeks elapsed before
show of wild beasts passsd through the
streets, and very naturally all hands in
the store rushed to see the spectacle.
A thief saw his opportunity, and enter
ed at the rear door to seize something,
but in a twinkling found himself firmly
clutched by the diminutiye clerk afore-
said, and, after a struggle was captured.
Not only was a robbery prevented, but
valuable articles taken from other stores
were recovered. When asked by the
merchant why he stayed behind to
watch when all others quit their work,
the reply was.
"You told me never to leave the store
when others were absent, and thought
I'd stay"
Orders were Immediately given once
more:
"DOuble that boys wages; he is will
ing and faithful"
