Because the lime if sprinkled with a

DANGERS OF NURSERY ExPLosIvEs.-
Recently, in New York, the front of a
toy store was blown out, and several
persons badly injured, by the explosion
of percussion wafers-bits of paper
having a small quantity of explosive
material upon them. The waters were
used for firing off toys termed ''parlor
artillery" The toy consists of small
barrel provided with q hammer, under
which the wafer is fired, ball of rub
ber being thrown out of the barrel on
pulling the trigger.
The sale of explosive toys, no matter
in what form they may appear, should
be discouraged. We have seen children
severely burned by the apparently
harmless pulling crackers, through ac-
cidental explosion. Explosives have
no place in the nursery.

STATISTICS SHOW that Of the thousands
who die annually, large proportion
are destroyed, not by old age, or by the
natural exhaustion of vitality, but
through intemperance, or disregard
either on the part of the sufferer, or his
parents, of the simplest laws OF nature.
Such being the case-and figures can
not misrepresent fdcts-the conclusion
is that were the causes Of intemperance:
its kindred vices, and q disregard of
natural laws, removed the average
length of the human lifetime would be
extended proportionately. What agent
most rapidly, harmiessty and certainty
will eradicate these vices, or the ten
dency to them, is the question which
has been as thoroughly and persistently
agitated as has the search for the Phil
osopher's stone. The discovery has
been made by DIR. Joseph Walker, whose
widely known VINEGAR BITTERS are ac-
complishing wonders which the old
fogy doctors never dreamed of. Try

1t has been pronounced by scientific
men as the happiest discovery made In
medicine for 200 years, it affords instant
relief from pain in the worst cases, and
has cured more than 10000 sufferers

OLp-FAsHIoNED FLowRRs.-To those
who are about to make their first essay
in Horticulture I would like to offer few
suggestions. If you can afford but a
small outlay of money, time, and
strength, there are no flowers that Will
prove as satisfactory as the Phlo1
Drummondii and Petunia. Indeed, l
should always place these first on the
list, for, like true friends, they never
disappoint us, but bear up bravely
under slight and neglect, and from June
till late November are always ready with
their CHEEKY greeting, new every morn
ing and fresh every evening. DO not
Danish them, to waste their sweetness
on the desert air of the ''front yard,
but let bed of each be planted near
the kitchen door, where the eyes and
heart of the busy housewife may be
glsddened and refreshed continually by
their brightness. A little package of
the 'sblotched and striped" Petunia
seed, which can be purchased OF any
scotsman for ten or fifteen cents, Will
furnish plants enough to stock large
bed, for they "spread" magnificently,
and should not be set thickly. The va
rieties of color and markings which they
display are truly marvellous, and will
supply an unfailing fount of entertain
ment through the whole Summer. 1t
the seed is started in boxes in the house
about the middle of March, by the first
of May the plants will be large enough
to transplant, and will bloom much
earlier than if sown in the open ground.
And here 1 would say that for those
who have not the convenience of hot
bed there is no better place for starting
seeds than the reservoir of kitchen
stove. But care must be taken not to
let the earth become dry; to prevent
this it will be necessary to sprinkle
thoroughly two or three times during
the day. As soon as the seeds are fairly
up the box should be removed to win
dow. The Phlox will not germinate SO
readily under the influence of artificial
heat, but as soon in the Spring as the
ground is dry enough to be worked the
seed may be sown. This flower rivals
the verbena in richness of coloring and
is much more reliable. A package oi
mixed" seed will insure brilliant dis
play for four or five months. OF course
/ need not say a good word for the
Sweet Pea and Morning Glory, theii
virtues are to well known to require
an advocate.

We wonder that history has been so
negligent regarding the dress worn by

Captain John Smith. We suppose,
however, that she wore a red stuff

ings and bead slippers. She probably
