iI,hif.-onl,ical Plan.

In this Seminary we have been led TO adopt
the Philosophic plan OF each Professor and his
class devoting their whole time and energies 10
asin.ie study, uni: completed. We have beel.
led 10 TINS by seeing SO many sJuuenis
disheartened, or ielIdered superficial, 10y being
req nired 10 carry FORWARD thtee or four studies
at the same time. Then each Professor was re-
Quired to hear so many REGULATIONS and the time
was SO broken up thai IL was out Of Ihequestioii
10 give each subject and each pupil the required
attention. lB Introducing thfs method, We eX-
pected TO he able make classes much Inore
thorough and practical, but mol only are We
succeeding beyond our expectations IN this par
ticuiar, but we are accom- piIshing a great deal
more in the same lime, as well as DOING IL much
better. In graduating, one-third oI the ums

scientific Course IN TWO, instead Of three years,
10 Algebra, two 10 Geometry, and two to Chem
istry, and one mont tiIeach 10 all the other stud
ies-- OR course is iull and practical, and the
ly more with It than Is usually done. We ex-
plain this on the principle, that men show the
greatest results IN given time, when they de-
vote their whole energies to one thing. 1t has
been claimed that students deyoting their whole
time To one study would become weary, but we
ind instead Of this being true, that tns student
energies upon one subject, succeeds, and as
result Of his success, an enthusiasm is awaken
ed, before unknown in schools; the student be-
comes genuine Philosopher in search of truth.
New Studies are commenced monthly, at which
time students can enter and remain as long as

this more thorough class than any ever con-
Quoted ON the old system. Those wishing TO
enter ii, would do well to engage rooms soon.-

now offering the very best advantages. -
The Ladies' Osnotniesstai Course is short but the
most practical and useful. All Is. left out that

sphere. And they are made SO thorough, and
such a love Of science is induced that they will
carry II into and adorn every department OF life;
and not as is too frequently DONE lay II all aside
as soon as they graduate. go

sait for Peach Trees.

Downing, in his work on Fruit Trees
speaks of the application ofsalt to peach
trees, as a very effeetual agent for the
destruction Ofthe peach worm. He SAYS
"In neighborhood where the peach
worm usually destroys ysOne-halfthe peach
trees, we have seen them preserved in
healthiest condition by the annual an
plication of handful of course salt,
about the collar of the tree at thesurface
of the ground. $500 tss- 81, s-a s1- rl-ss e.
This tallies with my experience ex-
actly. A few years Since, having some
young peach trees which did not present
as healthful an appearance as was de-
81. able, and having a small quantity of
refuse salt on hand, resolved to apply
it to some of the unthrifty trees. The
change wrought in the appearance and
condition of the trees to which salt was
applied, was very remarkable. The
foliage assumed a dark green color, and
the growth that followed was very graft
flying. . ta.aI
Without being aware untli recently,
of the suggestion of Mr.. Downing, /
continued 20 use salt, and with the same
happy results, and am confident in the
belief, that peach growers will find it to
their advantage to adopt the method
which have found to operate so well. -
Whether the vigor of the tree is due
to the destruction of the worms. or
whether to the action of the salt, which
experienced horticulturists tell us. pro-
notes the verdure and Iuxuriance of
fruit trees. l am not prepared to say. I
give you the facts, leaving your readers
to draw their own conclusions.-TEx.s s.
( If mulching is employed at the time
of planting trees, they will never need
watering. sUniform tenperature and 4
constant supply of moisture are the
prime elements of success in fruit-cul-
ture. Mulching enables us to accom-
plish this. 1t prevents to great degree
the cracking of fruit, and causes those
varieties which are generally spotted
and defaced to become clean and covered
with rich bloom. ANAtAi5

MRS. LEE--I always use glass jars,
finding them cheaper and more conve-
nient than tin cans.s My rule for corn
lis as follows. Fake sweet corn, ripe but
not hard; cut it from the cob, fill my
cans full, and pressed down; but do not
add water. Then lay the covers on
loosely, and set the cans into my wash
boiler, with sticks in the bottom for the
cans to rest on, and with water enough
in the boiler to come half way up the
sides of the cans. Cover up tight, and
boil briskly three hours. Then take out
the cans. and screw the covers on tight.
proceed precisely in the same way
with green peas and beans.

AN ANEcDoTE WORTH PRESERVING
A Paris correspondent guarantees the fol
lowing: A Frenchman, a prisoner in Edin-
burg, having managed to escape, took ref
uge in the powder magazine. When the
authorities wished to seize him, they
found him on barrel with lighted match
and threatening to blow up the town.
The authorities reflected prudently, and
the result of their deliberations was that it
would be better to starve the Frenchman
out. Bet they reckoned without their pris-
oner, who loved good cheer, and was de-
termined to live well. In consequence he
called out that he would blow the town to
pieces if he did not get three meals day
he would write out the bill of fare. Saw
ney succumbed, and the demands of the
prisoner went on increasing. Sometimes
he had serenade under his window then
review of the garrison; afterwards a
sham fight, in which the troops represen-
ting the French army beat the Highlanders.
At last he exacted that every Sabbath NOR
ming, before breakfast, the Lord Provost,
in full uniform, should make his appear
ance and read him an address. This las
ted until the allies entered Paris.
