FLOWERS FOR THE SICK.-In an upper
room in a poor tenement house lay a
sick child, wasted with fever aid the
prostration which followed. 1t had
seemed impossible to rouse him, or ex-
cite the slightest interest in any thing.
The young lady who had carried her
hower-basket to the room selected
bunch of shining golden buttercups,
and held them up before the child. The
dull, languid eye frightened, the tiny
emaciated hand opened to receive them /;
too feeble for a spoken word. the smile
that fitted across the wee white face
was eloquence enough. The fingers
closed tight over the simple flowers
that were like yellow sunshine to the
little sufferer. When second visit,
with fresh flowers, was made on Thurs
day, the boys mother said, "Jimny
would not lay the flowers out of his
hand while he wes awake; only when
he slept could L put them in water to
freshen bit, for he must have them in
his hand again as soon he walked.
Sure enough, the little fellow still held
his withered treasures, which had been
more to him than doctors visit or pre-
scriptions. Fresh flowers from the
basket brought a smile and look of
grateful recognition to his face; the
long weary hours of conyalescence were
lightened and frightened for one little
sufferer by the Flower Mission.

A NEW method for lighting street gas
lamps is as follows: The lamp has two
burners; one, very small, burns all the
time. When the gas pressure is raised,
a small gas holder, on the top of the
column, is elevated, affording passage
for the gas to the larger of the two tips,
which is lighted by the small jet. Thus
all the street lamps in the district may
be Lit automatically.

Mr.. 81. CROSBY writes to point out
that the easiest way to describe a hep

to a side of the required figure. This
is correct and will be ofpractical use.

To two drains of vermilion add one

Have ready the branches or twigs peeled
and dried, and paint them over with
this mixture while hot. The twigs
being covered, hold them over a gentle
fire, turning them round till they are

into barn yard in the country one day

old bull not only followed him until he
left the lot, but took the gate off the
hinges and raced with him to the house
in the most familiar way possible.
Smithson says he has no doubt that the
old fellow would have called for some
thing if ne had waited while, but he
didn't want to keep the folks waiting
dinner so he hung one tail of his coat
and piece of his pants on the bulls
horns and went into the house.

The PERFoRATING POWER OF RooTS.- -
1t is indeed wonderful how easily the
roots of trees and plants bore through
hard impacted soils in search of nourish-
ment. They Use for this sort of awl,
of immense power, situated at the end
of the root, and capable, with the aid of
the other root machinery, of thrusting
aside heavy weights and getting through
almost any distractions. Yet the awi
consists only of mass of microscopic
absorbent cells, formed by protoplasm
OF vegetable mucus-the fluid in which
vital action is first set up. The roots
of the elm and the maple will bore
through the hardest soil of walks or
streets, enter drains, twine about water
pipes, and penetrate through the seams
of stone and brick structures. The
roots of some plants have been known
to pass through Is inches of solid brick
work and make their appearance in
wine cellar below. Plants have vast
power in overcoming obstacles, when
foraging for food. They are like a
hungry animal which no fences can re-
strain when there is food beyond. The
movements of roots in soils proceed on
certain principles of utility in connec-
tion with the welfare of the plant. Some
need more moisture than others, and
the roots Will drive through rocks to
obtain it; others need silicious food,
and will penetrate through clay bank
to reach the desired foraging ground.
The urgency with which nature drives
plants and animals in pursuit of food is
almost irresistible.

ExPLosION AND FIRING OF VOLATILE
OLs.-A mixture of two parts of per-
fectly dry permanganate of potassium
with two or three parts of concentrated
sulphuric acid is a most powerful
oxydizing agent, owing to the separa-
ton of permanganic acid and its imme-
decomposition with the liberation of
oxygen. Volatile oils are violently af-
fected by this mixture, if about ten
drops are placed in a little dish and
then touched with a stout glass rod
previously dipped into the mixture.
The following produce explosions, often
most violently: Oils of thyme, mace,
turpentine (rectifed), spike, cinnamon,
origanum, rue, cubebs, and lemon. The
following oils are simply ihfiamed, par
ticularly if poured upon blotting paper
and touched with the mixture, though
under certain still unknown circum-
stances explosion may occur 4: Oils of
rosemary, lavender, cloves. rose, gera-
mum, gaultheria, caraway, cajeput,
bitter almond, and rectifed petroleum.
The following substances are ignited
without explosion Alcohol, ether,
wood spirit, benzole, chlorelayl, sui
phide of carbon, and cotton. Gun
cotton and gun powder are not ignited.

CULTIVATION FOR PEAR ORCHARDS
John A. Warder, celebrated horticul-
turist of South Bend, Ohio, writes:
1.-The amount of cultivation bestowed
on a pear orchard will depend very
much on the energy and earnestness of
the proprietor. So also the quantity
and value of the crops returned to him
will be in direct ratio to the amount of
care and culture he has given his trees.
This will apply particularly to an Or
chard of dwarf pears"

do not endorse it, and at some future
time will give our views on the ques-

A LITTLE ADVICE TO FARMERs.-Help
your wives in every way You can, trivial
though it may seem to you. For in
stance: keep an extra pair of shoes or
slippers in the hall or entry, and al
ways remember to change your dirty
boots before entering her clean rooms.
Then you may be sure of smile of well
come, as no dirt will be left after you
for her to clean up. In the evening
comb your hair as carefully as ever you
did in your counting days, put on a
clean coat or dressing gown, and when
You take your paper to read. do not
read to yourself and leave her to lone
some thoughtswhile sewing or mending,
but remember that she, too, has been
working hard all day, and is still work
ing. Read to her whatever interests
you, so that her interests and opinions
may grow with yours, and that she may
comprehend something besides love
stories, of which too many have read
more than they should. You viii both
be happier, and being farmers or a
mechanics wife Will not be such a
dreadful tiresome and lonely life as
many girls have every reason now to
think it is.

PLANTING SWEET PoTATo SLIPS, OR
DRAWS. 1t is well to take advantage
of a rainy day for planting if you can,
but plant whether it rain or not. We
have planted in the midst of severest
drought, with the loss of very few
plants. ''Grout" the plants by plung-
ing the roots into batter composed of
equal parts of fresh cow-dung, wood
ashes and vegetable mould, mixed with
water to the proper consistency to ad-
here to them. This will generally in
sure perfect "stand," and hasten the
growth of the vines. A good crop of
potatoes will ''help out" wonderfully,
and there is no reasonable excuse for
not having an abundance of them

CONDIMENTS N POULTRY DIET.-Cay-
enne pepper, mustard, or ginger can,
with great benefit, be added TO the food
of fowls to increase their vigor and to
stimulate egg production. This appar-
emily artificial diet will be seen to be
natural, if We remember that wild birds
of the gallinaceous species get access
to very many highly-spiced berries and
buds; articles that give the "game
flavor" to their flesh. The ordinary food
of the domestic fowl is not, indeed,
entire without some such addition, since
there is more or less of an aromatic
principle in wheat, Indian corn, and
all other grains. Nevertheless, it is not
sufficient in quantity to supply the
place of the stronger spices, taste for
which is a part of a fowls inherited
constitution. A moderate quantity of
cayenne, ETC., added to the ground
grain, is always productive of health
and thrift in poultry.
