| To PRODUCE A BEAUTIFUL FLOWER
BED IN OCTOBER The chry santhemums
and wall fiower-leaved stocks are COM
paratlvely hardy in resisting early
frosts, and if small plants of the form
er be now ported in about six inch pots,
and soil the stalks sown now and then
| potted off as soon as three inches
high, they will come into bloom in late
autumn. The pots may stand in any
out-ot-the-way place, and if plunged
| to the rims in the earth will require lit
tie or no care. 1t is said that the dis
position of the stock plants to produce
single or double flowers may be told
by examining the roots of the young
! plants, VIZ, those with roots like the
carrot will only produce single flowers,
while those having a tufted root will
produce donb'e flowers.

papers may be put immedi ately without
fear of injury.

of soda in a small bag, pour on it Just
enough boiling water to moisten it, then
put 1t on the eve pretty warm Keep
1T on ali night, and in the morning the
sty will most likely be gone if not a
second application is sure to remove it.
We have also heard that the white oil
an egg, applied to the eyelid with a
leather just before retiring, soon ct
fects cure. Styes arise from 1mpur
ity of the blood, and no permanent
cure can be effected by a mere exter
nal application. The blood should be
kept in healthy condition by the fire.

Under the Trees.

ssTTnt1er the trees - Who but agrees
That there is magic in such words as these7
Promptly one sees shake in the reeze
Stately Iime-avenues haunted of bees:
Where looking far over Uninterrupted leas,
Lads aud fair shes (t1at is Byron, and he's
an authority lie very much at their ease;
Taking their teas, or their duck and green peas,
Not Directing at all though its rather a squeeze,
And the glas is daresay at 80 degrees.
Some set up glees, and are mad about Ries
And Sainton, and 1amherlik's thrilling high Cs;
Or II painter, hold forth upon Hunt aud Macllse,
An the tone and breadth of that landscape OF Lees
Or if learned, or nodes and the moons apogees,
Or if serious, on something of AKHB's,
Or the latest attempt to convert the Chaldees,
Or in short. all things from earthquakes to heas'
Some sit in twos Or Qess frequently threes
With their innocent la1nb's-wool or book en- then
knees,
And talk and enact any nonsense you please,
As they gaze into eyes that are blue as the seas
And YOU hear an occasional 90 Harry, don't tease
From the sweetest of lips in the softest OF keys,
And other remarks, which to me are Ch1nese
And fast the time flies till lady like sneeze,
Or portIy papa's more elaborate wheeze,
Makes Miss Tabitha seize ON her brown muffatees
And announce as a fact that it's going to freeze,
And that Young people ought to tend to their Ps
And their Qs and not court every form of disease
Then Tommy gets up the three last ratifas,
And pretty Louise wraps her robe de cerise
Round bosom go tender Widow Machree's,
And On spite of the pleas of her lorn vis-a-vis)
Goes and wraps up her unce-a patient of Skeys
Who Is prone to catch chills like all old Bengalese
But at bedtime trust he'll remember to grease
The bridge of his nose, and preserve his rub es
From the premature clutch of his fond iegatees:
Or at least have no fees to pay any NJ. DIS

Geographical Distribution of Sweet
Scented Plants.

Mr. j. Britten, in communication
to The Gardeners Chronicle on the
odor of plants, gives the following
conclusions regarding the geographical
distribution of sweet-scented plants: A
large proportion of pale and white
blossoms are fragrant, and it is ascer-
tanned that these predominant in north
ern regions. We may therefore con-
clude that the relative number of odor-
GUS flowers is greater toward the poles
than toward the equator. 1t would
seem that the too powerful action of
light anu heat is opposed to the emana-
ton of the odors of flowers, and we
see many specimens which are scarcely
fragrant during the day, become so in
the evening or during the night. But
if the odors emitted by the blossoms
are more frequent in the north, the re
verse is the case with the essences in
closed in thr glands. Plants with fra
grant leaves, aromatic fruits, and wood
penetrated with essential oil, are
scarcely found except Ill tropical eli
mates.

SIR.-The recent revelations of the
bad management and unjust detention
of patients in a private lunatlc asvlumn
at Belgium may have made some of your
readers anxious to be informed If we
manage things better in this country.
For more than four dreary months have
[ been an "alleged lunatlc, and in the
prime of my life am ] still buried alive,
an exile in misery, and ever and anon
a martyr to delusiye hopes of freedom.

suits, taunts, and lmpudence, have L

chance of being burned i'll buildings
douhly hazardous ard void of prison
regulations Walled off from Boards
of Health and sanitary legislation, with
no public quest on comrades subtlety,
on food and water, or on lifeless corpse,
WHY am | thus condemned What
crime have [ committed? Two sapient
doctors have declared my sentiments
insane, and have pronounced my doom.
Two years they give me, and II [ mean
while acquire the attributes of Solomon
and Job combined, then they. have
promised liberty. Liberty, forsooth,
to prospects ruined, to name and re-
putation blighted,
And this is England, the home of
liberty, with its boosted jurisprudence,
where the greatest criminal in the land
has benefit of counsel, judge and jury,
and consultations from the prison chap
lain. / was born and bred an English
man, loyal and peaceful subject, but

Lords of England that former puzzling
question, "How long these nuisances
are to continue" or public opinion
wakens up to fuller sense of duty, com
missioners and magistrates the stools
to which alternately we cling but sadly
fall between. Mr.. Editor, how long are
we to be huddled together without
classification, and subject to the cap
rlces of our companions, of our atten-
dants, and of those who rashly under
take our custody-in places where the
health and spirit is broken, and self
respect is lost in carelessness 81
