Effects of Ashes and Lime.

Place piece of iron or steel in damp
ashes, and it will soon cOrrOde with rust.
Place the iron or steel in lime mortar
and the rust will disappear. Sow small
grain where a brush pile or log-heap has
been burned, or where liberal dressing
of ashes has been applied, and there will
be rank growth that will probably fall
d.never mature. Sow the grain where
the lime has been applied to the soil, and
the grain will grow with stout, stiff straw
and plump, hard heads that mature well.
Ashes cause a rank growth of the
herbaceous part of the plants, such as
leaves, straw and grass; lime induces a
growth of the woody part of plants, and
the grain or fruit. Ashes stimulate heavy
muck, and rich or virgin soils. They
appear to disintegrate or make available
what is already in the soil. They seem
to act specially on vegetable mold and
manures from the barn-yard. Apply
them to the most offensive pile of com
post and they will render it inodorous
and worthless as fertilizer, their effect
being that of releasing the ammonia from
the compost Ashes used with a COM
post heap of decaying vegetable matter
would be wasted-wOrse than wasted
as they render the compost inert as fer
tilizer. Applied to an offensive sink,
sewer or cesspool, they serve an excellent
purpose as disinfectant. They promote
the growth of grass and forage especial
ly, proving very valuable on low lands;
will stimulate trees, etc., to vigorous
growth when the soil is strong. They
exhaust strong soils and injure poor
ones.
Lime improves poor soils, especially
sandy ones, by rendering them more com
pact and capable of retaining fertility
when applied AS a promoter of health
and vigor in apple trees it is one of the
best applications that can be made to the
soil. Under its influence trees mature
well, the fruit is finer, and trees are freer
from disease. Lime may be applied with
benefit on most soils and many plants,
but it is of special value to the apple
tree and strawberry plant, while ashes
are valuable on heavy or rich soils for
the grosser feeding of plants, such as our
native plums and currant bushes-Cor.

Accomplishments.

So.CALLED accomplishments are a sort
OF Mansard roof clapped on the sounder
structure of the average English educa.
ton. Why they are thus denominated
when in the possession of them so little
is really accomplished, it is difficult to
determine. Their material is generally
as unsubstantlal as that of the thing to
which they have been compared, and,
subjected to the fiery tests of life and ex-
perlence, they are almost as readily de-
stroyed.. The requirement of little
knowledge OF music, certain rules of draw
Ing, the process OF mixing colors, and a
few foreign phrases are oftenest the result
OF much mlsapplled industry If music,
drawing and painting were studied and
cultivated as arts with the intent of be-
coming thoroughly proficient in them,
that they might stand if need be in good,
practical stead, then the time devoted to
them would not be wasted. Instead of
being mental folfols in which to deck
their ill.clothed minds in public, these
attainments would be of deep and LASTING
satisfaction to their possessors, even
though not put to any severer trial
Few girls care enough for music and
drawing to pursue them after being freed
from the restraint of masters, and many
would never begin such study were it not
for the ambition of parents, guided bv a
society that demands all girls to be nodded
after one model. This idea is so obviously
impossible as to be absurd. Countless
good gardeners, milliners, dressmakers,
h0usekeepers have been spoiled in pooI
plano-players, simply because knowledge
OF the piano was considered an elegant
| acquisition; while an understanding OF
the other things was regarded as some.
