selves in the luxury Of bouquet, for there
are so many more necessary things re-
quired, and so many ways for money.
Yes" answered Mrs. MantoD, there
are many ways fo- money, certainly; but
the culLlvators of flowers are very poorly
paid ,heir products require the utmost
labor. care and skill Since have culti-
waited flowers myself, will never again
begrudge the price of bouquet. Ii t1ow-
ers are not a necessity, they sweeten Ilfes

pended upon ribbons and needless hnery
which might better be paid for them"
is tnat so? l never dreamed il was
much trouble to rear flowers" replied Mrs.
Linton.
After tea Mrs. Manton said to her
friend, aft you will excuse me now, will
go and gather strawberries Tor breakfast

you raised your own straw berries, you

" The season has not been q propitious
one for b-rries, nevertheless l will share
what l have with you" replied the hospita-
bic hostess.
Upon going to he strawberry beds they
found them in sad condition. The music
girl and Mrs Unions three children had
PRECEDED them, and had tramped all over
the beds, bruised and iammed the ripe Der
ries, and trodden the green ones into the
ground, so that but few could come to per
fiction, and those few Mrs. Linton pre-
served for her own use, ap1lOglZlng Tor so
doing by saying Strawberries are so dear
in the city and as you raise your own, they
cost you nothing, and you must have
Tasted upon them until they lost their

The Antwerp rasp5e-ries were just
ripening and the children paid their at
tentiOn to them CeXt, much in the same
manner as they he'd done To the straw Der
ries, and, 10 make q long story short,
when they returned 10 their city home at
the close Of the week, the MantOn
grounds Looked as though a hurricane had
swept over them. Not d flower remained
to beauty he garden, the young shrub
berry was broken, the strawberry beds
ruined for the season, the Tas~ berry bushes
broken of, etc, ETC.
1t is needless &c say that when her city

another year must pass before she could
be called upon to entertain any more
strawberry friends, yet as the summer and
autumn waned, her patience WAS often
abused with similar inconsiderate visitors,
who acted upon the theory that the good
things Of the country grew spontaneously,
and that country people who refuse to di-
vide them free gratis, with their city
friends, are a small parsimonious set.
Reader, this IS an DER true tale, and its
moral would point out to those who have
no experience in horticultural and agricul-
tural productions how little they really
know of the labor requisite to bring to
perfection those good gifts Of Nature
which they fancy are indigenous to rural

How We Used to be Physicked.

Who does not remember the time when spring
purgation was considered indispensable to sum
mer health? No matter for wry faces the inevita-
bic salts and SIENNA, rhubarb calomel and jalap,
must be administered These spring medicines -
the youngsters were told, were to keep them hale
and hearty during the summer. We all know now
thar this was fallacy that new vigor, not deple-
ton, is what is required at the commencement of
the summer solstice. As preparation for the en-
ervating effects of oppressive summer weather, a
course of Hos etter's Stomach Bitters is highly
expedient. This famous vegetable preparation
has three prominent properties: 1t renovates, pu-
rifles, and regulates all the functions of the body
II is composed exclusively of pure vegetable pro-
ductions, viz: the essential principle of Mononga-
hela Rye and the most efficacious tonic and alter.
alive roots, barks, and gums known to the meoi-
cal bOtanists. Hence, il is an absolutely safe med
Cine, and no tinCture of the Pnarmacop9ia can
compare with it, either in purity, in the variety
of its objects, and its comprehensive results.
Happily for mankind, the theory that it was neces-
sary to PROSTATE patient in order to cure him, is
forever exploded, and the true philosophical doc
rine that vigor is the great antagonist of disease
has taken its place. Hostetter's Bitters is an in
yigorant, aud hence it Is the proper medicine for
the feeble at this most trying season of the year.

there are innumerabe vile limitations in the mar

Turning Down Green Crop,.

In has got into the papers that powing
down green crops produces scid in the
soil from the decomposition which Is hurt
tul to crops; that it is better to turn under
when the crop is matured, that the eecom-
position will then be slower, and 10 hurt
will result.
This 10 doubtless true with some soils
those deficient in alkaline matter But
as most soils contain lime and potash and
other kindred materials, this acic is not
only harmeless but beneficial, as itunites
with the alkalis making plant food, which
otherwise might lie as it already mas fer
ages, useless to vegetation.
1t is for this reason that the turning
under of green crops is highly recon-
mended, not because its chemical action is
known, but because experience has demon
strated its advantage The great majority
OF cases have demonstrated that it is a
good thing to turn down the full, blossom
ing, succulent crop. The alkalis are most
always present in some form TO take I'D
and unite with the acid. In soils where
the acids remain free, would it not be well
to sprinkle the clover with lime before
blowing, or previously apply it to the soil
In such case, lime would be a benefit in
any event, as the soil requires it Utica

Easy Method OF eating Glass.

HE cutting of glass, says the T6chnao-
CAST, is an operation so frequently put n
practice in the laboratory, that any simpe
means of efftCting it is sure to run tie
rounds of the press as soon aS published
Almost all the methods in common US
are very old. OF course, for cutting tls
glass, such as window panes, the damon
Is the best agent. For cutting rounds,
ovals, out of fiat glass, the diamond is tt
best tool and if the operator has no di-
mond, it will always pay to carry the 10
to glazier, rather than to waste time ar
make poor job by other and inferir
means. When, however, it is required b
cut oil very little from circle or ova
the diamond is not available except i
very skillful hands. In this case, a pair {
pliers, or very dull scissors, is the bes
tool, and the cutting is best performe
under water. A little practice will enabl
the operator to shape a small round,
oval, with great rapidity, ease and prec-
sion. When bottles or TASKS are to be CIT
the diamond is still the best tool in skill
full hands; but ordinary operators vii
succeed best with pastiles, or red hd
poker. We prefer the latter, as being TIE
most easily obtained, and the most efficien:
and we have never found any difficulty il
cutting off broken TASKS so as to max
dishes, or TO carry cut spirally rounda
long bottle, so as to cut it in the form ofa
corkscrew. And, by the way, when so GU,
glass exhibits considerable elasticity, ant
the spiral may be elongated like a ringlet
The process is very simple. The line o.
the cut should be marked by chalk, or BY
passing thin strip of paper alongside OF
it; then make file mark to commence the
cut; apply the hot iron, and a crack vii
start; and this crack will follow the iroI
wherever We choose to lead it.
For drilling holes in glass, a commo,
steel drill well made and tempered, is The
best tool. The steel should be worked st
a low temperature, so as to be sure no. 10
burn 1t, and then tempered as hard as 1os-
sible, in either murcury or a bath of salt
water that has been well boiled. sub a
drill will go through glass very rapidly, If
kept well moistened. a good LIQUID for
molsiening such drills is turpentire, in
which some camphor has been Dissolved,
This was the lubricator recommended by
Griffin IN his work on chemical malipula-
ton, and 1t has been frequently published
since. Diluted sulphuric acid is equally
good, if not better; and we have found
carboliC acid siagularly efficient.
1t is stated that at Berlin, glass c,stings
for pump barrels, etc, are drilled, ,lans d.
and bored, Ike iron ones, and in tie same
lathes and machines, by the aid of sui
phuric acid
A little practice with these different
plans will enable the operator to cut and
work glass as easily as brass or iror.

A Chinese Will.

A CHINAMAN died, leaving his property
to his three SONS, as follows: To Fun
Hum, his eldest, one half thereof; Nu-Pin
his second son, One-third thereof; and to
Dlng-Bat, his Youngest, One-ninth there
OF. When the property was inventoried,
1t was found to consist of nothing more
nor less than seventeen elephants; and it
puzzled these three heirs to decide how to
divide the property according to the terms
OF the will, without chopping up the
seventeen elephants, and thereby seriously
impair their value. Finally they applied
to wise neighbor, Sum-Punk, for advice
Sum-Punk had an elephant of his own.
He drove it into the yard with the seven
teen and said, Now we will suppose that
your father has left these eighteen ele-
plants. Fun Hum, take your half and
depart" SO Fum-Hum took his nine ele-
plants and went his way Now, Nj

own elephant and drove home again.

Remedy for Rattlesnake Bite.

LAST summer, while in Kansas, I learn
ed of certain remedy for the bite of the
rattlesnake. AS it may benefit some one
of your numerous readers who may find
that he is victim to the venomous bite,
herewith send the cure with the advice to
try it Make poultice of fresh COW
manure and apply TO the wound; change
every half hour. A thorough trial of this
remedy was made on the person of little
girl living with Mrs Sperry, of Hiawatha
Brown County, Kansas. This little girl
had been bitten on the arm: the doctor
was sent for, triei his remedies, and fail
ed. The child's arm and body swelled
rapidly, began to turn black, and the child
appeared TO be going into commissions
when woman from quite distance, hear
ing of the case, came and advised the trial
of this remedy. They tried 1t as last re-
sort, and it acted like charm; convpl-
sions subsidized, swelling went down. black.
ness disappeared, the child recovered en-
tirely from all effects, and is now living as
healthy as any other child not bitten. It
might not act on another the same, but il
might be used in connection with internal
remedies or as last resort, as it was in
this case.-Cpr. Rural Neic Yorker.

caused by the drying out of the eggs; and
the extent to which they take place in a
