WoRAfs N FLOWER PoTs. Many
ladies are puzzled how to get rid of the
detestable worms that will infest the
earth in their fower-pots. The follow
ing recipe, which we find in an ex-
change, is recommended to destroy the
pests: "Put an ounce of ammonia into
one gallon of warm water, and water the
plants with it once week; they will be
free from these worms, and be beautiful
and green. To kill the little bugs that
get on the oleander, take piece Of lime
the size of hens egg, and dissolve it
in about two quarts of water and wash
the stock and branches of the tree; they
will disappear.

Humorous.

"FREDDY's OwS OyE. ."-A'correspon-
dent of Hartford paper relates this
malicious Joke on a too confding hus
band: "Mr. Fred and Mrs. Alice Y
had returned from their wedding tour
and given out invitations to several
friends to spend an evening With them
at their house. In the course OF an
hour after the party had gathered. sew
eral fun-loving young ladies and gen.
tlemen determined to perpetrate joke
on the happy husband. Accordingly,
one of them whispered to Fred's wife
that Mrs. So. and-so wanted to speak to
her a moment up stairs And Alice ex-
eused herself directly and left the room.
The lady who awaited her already un-
derstood the game, and talked very
deliberately about the sewing society,
and If it hadn't better sew for the col
ored folks at the South this winter, or
matters about as important. A young
lady of about Alice's size was then sent
into the next room, which was dark,
and cuddled herself up on one end of
the sofa, and an Aunt Of Fred's came to
him and whispered the awful news that
she was on the sofa in the sitting room,
feeling badly over something. Fred's
face immediately heightened, and he
excused himself and vent into the dark
room, as he supposed to see his wife.
The snow reflected just light enough to
enable him to see a female form on the
sofs with handkerchief at her face.
tAiice, my poor sweet dear what is the
matter he exclaimed in a low plaintive
voice, which the listening company In
the parlor heard, nevertheless. My
little lamb - Freddy's own one, he
said, sitting down beside her and draw
ing her into his arms, what IS the mat
ter? Speak, won't you, and tell Freddy

CRNoL1SE.-Very little crinoline is
worn; all varieties of tournure have al
most disappeared. Ladies wear their
dresses falling plainly about their feet
and the fronts drawn back as tightly as
possible. This fashion is peculiar to New
York. Hoops are worn altogether in
Paris. The skirt of stuff. is without
hoops except in the back, where tho
amount of tournure is regulated by rub
Der bands underneath. These skirts
are very desirable in protecting the
dresses; but they are rather complica.
ted. 1t would be better to buy one;
the price is 50, and from that you can
always make others, as the hoops can
be easily removed for washing. In
having the skirt Of stuff you can dis
pense with the extra petticoat-an ad-
vantage which every one who, has ever
lightened her clothing can appreciate.

CoFFEE.-Purchase old Government
Java and Mocha, the raw berry, brown
an equal quantity of each separately,
then mix together and confine in close
vessel. Grind tablespoonful to each
cup, place in a new flannel bag and pour
through it the requisite Quantity of
boiling water. Pour the infusion a sec
ond time through the coffee in the bag,
raise it to the boiling point and serve
Immediately. This process will make a
clear, fragrant, delightful beverage.
The flannel bsp should be empted of
its contents as soon as possible and
carefully washed, and will require re-
newal every few days. If the person
drinking it is going to be exposed to
severe weather the coffee should remain
in the boiling infusion two or three
minutes. Coffee is powerful respira-
tory excitant; it decreases the action of
the skin, and therefore dries that organ.
By diminishing this action it lessons the
loss of heat from the body, and at the
same time increases the hearts action
and the fulluess of the pulse. 1t is a
more suitable breakfast drink than tea,
iDasmuch as the skin is then active and
the hearts action comparatively feeble.

RAPE AS HONEY PLANT.-As honey
producing plant, the rape is scarcely
second to the linden, producing beau
tiful golden honey of good favor, and
is in blossom when nearly everything
else is out of blossom, commencing
about August 10, and continuing a
couple. of weeks. As farm crop it is
as good if not better than wheat. The
time of sowing is from the middle to
the end of June. This gives time to
prepare the soil after other crops are in !;
or if wheat or corn should fail in CON-
ing up. rape can be sown in their places.
1t is harvested from the middle to the
last CT September, after all other grain
is harvested. 1t does not impoverisli
the soil, but benefits ii. From five to
eight bushels more per acre of wheat
are raised on ground which had rape
the previous year. 1t lets no weeds
grow after it is fairly started, growing
very dense, and its leaves completely
shade the ground, therefore il does not
suffer from drouth like other grains.
The seed has T. good cash market at
Fon du Lac, Wis, where oil is extracted
from it, and brings from 81. 80 to 81 per
bushel. From ten to eighteen bushels
are generally produced Per acre, but it
is oftener over than under this estimate.
Two quarts are sufficient to SOW an acre.
Thousands of bushels are eannuallyraised
in Calumet county, and it is just as
staple crop as wheat.-1mcricaa Bee

A SIERRA NEVADA OBsERvAToRY.-A
rich Californian, with money to give
away, proposes to link his name with
the Advancement of science by building
a model observatory on some high peak
of the Sierra Ssvadas. It's location and
appointments are to be superior to any
thing of the kind now in existence. The
summit of the Sierra has been selected
after careful consideration. 1t is well
known that the lower strata of the at
mosphere are constantly filled, even in
what we call clear weather, with parti-
cles Of dust and all the most noted
observatories are in countries where
the air abounds with moisture which
greatly obstructss astronomical dis
covery. When we reach an elevation
of 3, 800 feet on the summit of Monte
Diablo on an ordinary summer day, we
are astonished to perceive that while
the valleys within ten or twenty miles
may be rendered indistinct by the haze,
we can distinctly see Mt. Lassen and
Mt. Whitney, several hundred miles
distant, but above the level of the float
ing dust. Travellers who go to Yose-
mite are generally astonished at the
intense blueness of the sky, and as we
ascend it increases, indicating the lack
of moisture and dust. Scientists on
the Sierra and on the Rocky Mountains
have. by instrumental observation,
found that the telescope and spectre
scope would give them much informa-
ton not obtainable on the sea-shore.

The MAGNETIC Electric LIGHT UrIL-
lied. A citizen of st. Petersburg,
Russia, is said to have overcome the
difficulties in the way Of applying the
magneto-electric light to the purposes
of general illumination. He has con-
struc.ed machine, rotated by a three
horse power engine, which, he declares,
can keep several hundred lamps going,
the lights being regulated by a simple
contrivance. Hitherto the want of
steadiness has been Questionable, and
was caused by its dependence on the
uniform proximity of two carbon points,
which, when heated by the current and
exposed to the air, were rapidly burnt
away. In this invention only one piece
of charcoal is necessary. This is con-
nected with the electromagnetic ma
chine, and enclosed In q glass tube,
from which the air is extracted. The
tube is then filed with gas, which will
not combine with the charcoal at high
temperature. and hermitically sealed.
On the machine being set in motion the
charcoal becomes gradually and equally
heated, and emits soft, steady light,
which will burn at the bottom of a
mine, or even at the bottom of river,
as readily as in street lamp, and at
about one-fifth the cost of coal gas.
The discovery is Immediately to be
tested in several of the large Continental
cities -.f.. H 200

BRAN FOR WAsHING.-Some friends
of ours who are obliged to use hard
water in which to do all their washing.
prepare it by boiling wheat bran in it.
Two or three quarts of bran is put in a
bag, made of strong, but thin muslin,
tied up and put in a boiler full OF cold
water. The boiler placed upon the
stove and the water allowed to boil for
an hour or SO when it is poured out and
the boiler re-flled. The bag of bran
is again put in and again boiled for an
hour or so. The operation is repeated
until enough water has been prepared
for all the rubbing, boiling, etc. The
water in which the clothes are rinsed
needs no preparation but is used as it
comes from the well. Ladies who have
hard water for washing for years and
have tried lye, soda, sal-soda, ETC., tell
us that the water washes better and in-
iures the clothes prepared in this way
less than in any way in which they have
ever seen it prepared. A bag contain
ing three quarts Of bran may be boiled
in three boilers full of water, but if
more water than this is required fresh
bran should be used. The water ac-
quires a softness from the bran that
renders it more pleasant to the hand
and it is not injurious to the coiored
clothes, fannels, ETC., as when prepared
with the alkali.

IMPURE WATER. Public attention
cannot be too often called to the danger
of using impure water in households.
The origin of typhoid fever, which so
frequently runs through families in
city and country, is oftener in wells and
springs than is supposed. In cities 1t
is easy to understand, when. aqueduct
water is not supplied, how wells may
become contaminated, but for many it
is not so easy to see how wells in the
country, among the hills or in the green
valleys, can become SO impure as 70 be
sources of disease. 4
Since the general introduction OF
aqueduct water into large cities, typhoid
fever has become more common In the
country than in the city, and this
disease is certainly Zymotic, or one
which results from poison introduced
into the blood. Wells in the country
are very liable to become contaminated
with house sewage, as they are generally
placed, for convenience, very near the
dwelling, and the waste liquids thrown
out upon the ground find easy access
by percolation through the soil to the
water. Tine instances of such contami-
nation which have come to our notice,
and which gave rise to fevsrs, are num-
erous. The gelatinous matter, which
is often found covering the stones in
wells affected by sewage, is true fun
gold growth, and highly poisonous
when introduced into the system. 1t
is undoubtedly concerned in the pro-
duction of typhoid fever. How it acts
it is difficult to determine, but it is at
least conceivable that the spores Of the
fungus may get into the blood and
bring about changes after the manner
of yeast in beer. These spores, as is
well known, develope rapidly by kind
of budding process, and but a little
time passes before the whole circulation
becomes filled with them, giving rise to
abnormal heat and general derange-
ment, called fever. These fungoid or
confervoid growths are always present
in waters rendered impure by house
drainage, and great caution she nd be
used in maintaining well waters free
from all sources of pollution.-BostoH

NEAPoIIrAN CAKE.-First make your
black cake after the following recipe:
One cup of butter, two cups OF brown
sugar, one cup of molasses, one cup OF
strong coffee, four and half cups OF
sifted -four, four eggs, two teaspoonfuls
of soda, two of cinnamon, tvo'of cloves
and one of mace, one pound OF raisins,
one pound of currants, and one-fourth
pound of citron. More fruit makes the
cake handsomer, but that quantity will
do. Bake the cake In round pans with
straikhf sides. The loayes should be
one and half inches in thickness after
baking. Next make white cake as fol-
lows: One cup of butter, four cups OF
powdered white sugar, two cups OF
sweet milk, two cups of corn starch
mixed with flour, four and a half cups
of sifted flour, the whites Of eight eggs,
six teaspoonfuls of baking powder.
| Flavor slightly with bitter almonds
| Bake in the same pans that were prevl-
ously used for the black cake, and have
the loaves as nearly as possible of the
same thickness. After the cake is all
cold, each black loaf should be spread
with thick coating of lemon aud sugar,
made as follows: The white of one egg
thoroughly beaten; the grated rind OF
two and the juice of three lemons, and
powdered sugar enough te make thick
frosting; then lay white loaf, upon
each black one, and frost as you would
any other loaf, being particular to use
no other favoring than lemon in the
frosting. The result is elegant loaves,
half of black and half of white cake,
which are equally tempting both to the
eye and the palate.
