A WOman'S Answer.

An eminent physician, in Hearth
and Home, tells the following excel
lent story for the benefit Of young
mothers. He says:
Gan intelligent young mother in
CURED some days since how she could
best preserve her child's linen clean
and sweet when changed frequently
during the day. Idirected her never
to dry it by the fire, but in the sun
and open air if the weather would
permit. You thus not only avoid
saturating the air of your rooms with
the volatile and poisonous gases
driven out of the linen, hut the suns
rays have powers Of cleansing and
disinfecting, which artificial heat has
not, and will purify and preserve the
linen. She followed my directions,
but, as is too often the practice, dried
and aired them in the nursery win
dow. Her fastidious husband re-
monstrated in vain against this un-
seemly exposure. Believing that if
she saw her practice as others saw it.,
she would desist, he SO directed their
afternoon walk as to bring the nur-
sery-window into full view from a
central part of the town. Stopping
abruptly, he pointed to the offending
linen tapping conspicuously in the
breeze, and asked sarcastically: "My
dear, what is that displayed in our
window" "Why," she proudly re-
piled, 'that is the Flag of our Union"

It is said that heads Of salad can be
produced in winter in from twenty
four to forty-eight hours, by taking
box filled with rich earth in which
one third part Of slaked lime has
been mixed, and watering the earth
with luke-warm water; then taking
lettuce seed, which has been previ-
ousiy softened by soaking in strong
brandy twcnty-four hours; sowing
in the usual way. We are assured,
but will not vouch for the fact, that .
good-sized head Of lettuce may be
obtained! In the time mentioned.

the propriety of engaging seats for the
grand concert by Ole Bull and his tai

next, at Library Hall. This will posi-
bly, be the only opportunity our citizens
will have to listen to the soul-enraptur-

king of vioinists, he being about to
start on a farewell tour, after which he
sails for Europe. The members Of the
troupe also come to us highly recon-

one of the most enjoyable entertain

for years. Seats can be secured at

TREE KILLED BY BULLETS. "A visit to
the battle ground at Gettysburg is
worth long journey to any Am erican,
but l do not propose to describe what
has SO often been described so well. A
single fact, with regard to the effect of
leaden bullets upon the forest trees
may deserve attention. On that part of
the field known as Culp's Hill, where
our soldiers where entrenched, and
where the rebels under Early made des-
perate attempts to dislodge them, there
was heavy growth of oak and walnut.
The fighting was chiefly with small
arms, although many huge trees or
branches were cut away by shells, and
many of the trees show now more than
hundred bullets marks each.
The fact to be noticed is that large
proportion, say quarter of these fore ST
trees, have died of these wounds. 1t is
evident that all the mutilation caused
by hundred mimic balls could not des-
troy an oak OF walnut of two feet di-
ameter, and yet hundreds of such trees
have rotted and fallen of such wounds
since the battle of July, 1868, and a
gentleman of the town, who is president
of an association which now has care of
this very ground, assured me that most
of these trees died that year and did not
leaf out at all in 1864.
His opinion is that the lead produces
some poisonous effect, and that the
death Of the trees is caused by that,
and not by the mere cutting of the bark
and fibre.-Albany Cultivator.

Mr. EDITOR: Will you permit con-
slant reader of your paper, to call your
attention, and that of the civil authori-
ties to the large sale in our midst of
poor or adulterated kerosene oil, en-
dangering the lives and property of our
citizens. This poor article can be pur-
chased at almost every grocery store in
our city, and while other cities are
moving against this evil let ours inves-
tigate thoroughly and searchingly the
persons dealing in kerosene oil, and let
the manufacturers land vendors of all
spurious oil, be dealt with as the law
will admit. Pure kerosene oil is safe,
i, e. so far as ordinary use for light, but
when adulterated by Naptha (benzine)
is more explosive than gunpowder. 1t
is then the duty OF all consumers of
this compound to see that they buy on
ly the pure article, of right gravity
As degrees) and fire test 1.10) and
that they may be able to know them
selves what they are using. Let them
take an ordinary saucer filling it partly
with the oil, and pass lighted match
over it. If the oil is good, it will not
burn, or vaporize, with this test. On
the other hand, should it burn or va
porize, the consumer should return it.
Good oil is selling at wholesale at 40 to
Al cents per gallon, and cannot be re-
tailed for less than IS or go cents.
Those buying for less price should
test it, 1t is time that we were rid of
this explosive compound, and if we
must burn it let us have the ".Simoaa
pure" Hoping you will agitate this
question to its exclusion from our city.
I remain CONSTANT READER.

EASTER The return of Easter was
observed throughout The city
with unusual unanimity and fervor.
The solemnities of the day were duly
commemorated in the various churches,
the congregations exhibiting, at the
same time, an appropriate regard for
the iubilant character of the occasion,
by architectural and personal decora-
lions of rare beauty and profusion.
Chaste floral emblems adorned the
walls of many sacred temples, and a
flood of vernal fashion revealed itself
for the first time this year among the
multitudes who thronged them. In adj
dition to religious associations of the
period, it possesses also keen secu-
lar significance as an anniversary always
appealing with force to the feminine
mind 1t is the Equinox of the toilet.
The singular loneliness of the weather
yesterday brought its Importance, in
this respect, into strong relief, and the
innocent delights of youthful display
were suffered to mingle freely with the
austerer sentiments of the community.
The memory OF the past Winter was re-
gretlessly thrust forth, and laces and
prodigalities of fresh silks rustled its
monody. While the ear was gratifed
by the multiplied musical effects which
brilliant vocalists lent to the church
choirs, the eye was charmed by the
radiant aggregation of luminous color
into which the assemblage was blended
That some of the observances of Easter
are of Pagan origin is beyond dispute,
and it is suggestive fact that this sea-
son marked, and still marks, the begin
ming of the Persian year; the chief fea-
ture in the festivities is the arrayal of the
entire populace in new and glittering
attire. The identity of custom between
heather and a semi-barbarous race
and the enlightened inhabitants of q
city so distinguished for all the Christ
ian humanities as ours affords matter
for curious contemplation.
That so fair day should be as fairly
greeted by all classes of persons was
only natural. The thoroughfares over
flowed with contentments and happi-
ness in hnman form of every age. The
atmosphere was charged with health,
and every countenance was overspread
with sunlight. From dawn until night
fall the rosy influence of early Spring
"ethereal mildness,' harmonizing with
the spiritual sanctitude of the anniver-
sary, held gentle and benefcient sway
over the people.
