Gardening for Women.

Franc aS Power CODoc says tnat among
healthful amusements and occupations for
women. gardening ought to have fore
most place, and adds:
Ii is at once AN art and an exercise-an
art wherein We dull Saxons have thorough
ly proved our power to excel, and an exer-
else which brings every muscle intoplay in
the blessed fresh ais. II nlay be so cheap
ly pursued that even the po rest cotager or
even town garretteer may enjoy it; and it
may lie costly and splendid enough to graf
ify the taste of queens. The natural
affinity between women and flowers Is so
strong. so few women Of any rank are de-
void Of il. and SO much of gardening and
conservatory work can be- well done by
women, that it is quite curious instance
of the way in which pleasant and lucrative
trades are monopolized by men, that there
are no such things as garden-girls and
female head gardeners, and women man.
aging nurseries and market-gardens.
Many hundre as of English ladies work
from choice half their days in their own
gardens, and. being their own head
gardeners, enjoy every flower which
blooms ten fold more than if they had the
honor of meekly smelling II under the rule
of a Scotch autOcrat But. 10 woman OF
was allowed to gain her bread by doing
precisely What these ladies do from
choice: though how maGy would rejoice to
quit dreary schoolrooms and work rooms
to undertake the same, Heaven alone can
tell.
Medical Properties of Celery.
A recent agricultural writer says: Il have
known many men, and women too, who
affected by nervousness, that when they
stretched ont their hands they shook like
aspen leaves on windy days; but, by a
daily, moderate use of the blanched foot
stalks of celery leaves as a salad, they be-
came as strong and steady in their limbs
as other people. j have known others so
very nervous that the least annoyance put
the m in state OF agitation, aud liey were
in almost constant perplexity ard fear,
who were also etfectually cured, by daily
use of blanched celery as q salad at meal
times. have known others cured by using
celery for palpitation of the heart Every
| BODY engaged labor weakening to the
nerves. should use celery daily in season,
and onions in it's stead when not in season.

the Paris exhibition is chapter on a new
system of shoeing horses. Its inventor, NJ.
Charlier, contends that the shoe destroys
the horses foot, and substitutes foT !. an
iron band !et into rectangular groove
scoOped from the outer circle of the horses
foot. This band is fastened with ven rec-
tangular nails driven into oval holes. The
sole of the foot and frog are thus allowed tC
touch the ground. The horse never slips
and never gets diseases of the foot The
