In Switzerland there is law which
compels every newly married couple to
plant six trees Immediately otter the
ceremony, and two on the birth of every
child. They are planted on commons,
and near the road, and being mostly
fruit trees, are both useful and orna-
mental. The number planted amounts
to ten thousand annually.

WATER TELEsooPEs.-The fishermen
of Norway carry in their fishing boats a
water-telescope or tube three or four
feet in length. They immerse one end
in the water, and then, looking intently
through the glass, they are enabled to
perceive objects ten or fifteen fa.homs
deep as distinctly as If they were within
a few feet of the surface. Hence, when
they discover plenty of fish, they sur
round them with their large draught
nets, and often catch them in hundreds
at haul which, we're it not for these
telescopes, would frequently prove pre-
carious and improbable fishing. This
instrument is not only used by the
fishermen, but it is also found in the
navy and coasting vessels.

A SIMPLE method for illustrating the
production of cold By evaporation is
described as follows The neck of a
bottle filled with liquid bisulphide of
carbon is closed with a cork, through
the center of which a small hole is
pierced. Into this hole a roll of blot
ting-paper is inserted, so that the upper
end shall project above the cork, while
the lower enters the inclosed liquid.
Owing to the porosity of the paper, the
liquid ascends; but, as it is of an ex-
tremely volatile character, it no sooner
enters the atmosphere than rapid eva
poration takes place, and the moisture
contained in the surrounding air is at
once precipitated in the form of hoar-
frost upon the sides of the bottle and
the exposed slip. If the supply of
bisulphide is kept up, it viii result in
the formation upon the summit of the
bottle of a peculiarly-shaped mushroom
like mound of frGst. If the bottle be
inclosed in the sides of glass or other
vessel, there will be formed upon the
floor of the vessel series of cone-like
mounds, similar to cave stalagmites.

IT is now generally admitted by hon
est physicians, that when once the con-
sumption is fairly fastened upon the
lungs, no human power can save the
patient from death. They also say that
about fifty per cent. of those who die
from this disease can trace the cause to
a neglected cough or cold, which might
have been cured by a small bottle of
Liquid Opodeldoc, or what is the same
thing, Jolnson's Anodyae Linin'eyat.

MEAT PICKLE In four gollons of
water six pounds of coarse salt, one
pound of brown sugar or one quart of
sugar-house syrup, and four ounces of
saltpeter are dissolved. The solution
Is to be boiled for half an hour, skinned
and strained. When quite cold it is
poured over the meat, already packed
in barrel or tub, having been pre-
viously rubbed over with a few handfuls
of the mixed and powdered Ingredients,
dry. As the meat is used out of the
pickle other meat may be immersed in
it, having been previously rubbed as
before mentioned. The longer the
pickle is used the better it becomes,
but it must be boiled skinned, and
strained at least once a year, and be
replenished with more salt, sugar, and
saltpeter in the proper proportions.

A New FLORAL ORNAMENT writer
in Les Mondes suggests new idea for
floral decoration, which, it seems, may
be readily put in practice. An ordinary
earthenware flower pot is filled with
water, the hole in the bottom being
closed, and allowed to stand until its
porous sides are completely soaked.
The water is then thrown out, and the
pot is repeatedly dipped until it will
absorb no more, and its outside becomes
thoroughly wet. On the outer surface
fine seed is thiekly sprinkled and al
lowed to remain sticking thereto. The
pot is then refilled with water, and set
in the shade under bell glass. In
short time the seeds Will germinate and
throw out shoots, so that, to prevent
their falling from the sides of the pot,
some thread or wires must be repeatedly
wound around the exterior of the latter.
Eventually the entire vessel will become
a mass of living vegetation, which is
nourished blythe percolation..o the water
contained within through the porous
sides.
A non-porous receptacle may also be
used, but some thick cloth must be
wound about its exterior and the seed
sprinkled thereon. This cloth is kept
continually moist by repeated applica-
tions of fresh water.

RECORD OF TREES AND PLANTS. is
suggested to our horticultural friends
the advantage of keeping an accurate
record of every tree or plant on the
grounds. A blank book of sufficient
size TO permit of the mapping of the
different plantations and orchards as
well as the beds of roses and other hardy
flowers, forms an invaluable reminder.
Even where several varieties of fruits
are grated on one tree for testing the
quality of each, the whole may be kept
track of by simply indicating the gen.
eral direction of the various branches,
and appending the names. A simple
record of this sort Will strengthen the
desirable habit of accuracy, enable one
to avoid vexatious mistakes, and thus
more than pay its slight cost of labor
to say nothing of the satisfaction of
knowing the name of the fruit tasted or
the flower seen.

Domestic.

HrAc1Nras II THE HoUsE.-A very
small Dot will answer for the hyacinth.
Some prefer to plant three or four in
large pots and this will make very
pretty ornament. Cover only the lower
half of the bulbs with soil, press them
down until they are nearly covered,
then water until the soil is moistened
thoroughly and set the pots in cool,
dark cellar. The roots will there form,
with but little growth of top. Here
they may remain for several weeks, and
a pot or two at time can be taken into
a warm, light room, for Towering, q
a week or ten days apart and succes-
sion Of flowers obtained during the
winter.
When byacinths are planted in the
garden, and well covered, the roots get
a good start in the fall and winter; and
it is very important in Towering them
in the house that the growth of roots
should be first encouraged in the way
recommended. When placed in glasses
of water for towering, the base of the
bulb should not quite touch the water.
Fill the glasses with well water, and as
soon as the flower buds appear, sprinkle
the plant frequently with rain water.
Set them away for about two weeks in
cool, dark room, until roots are
formed then remove to light moder-
ately warm room, and give plenty OF
light and air. Keep hyacinths in the
coolest room you have, anything above
freezing will answer, and near the light.
Flowers of the hyacinth are often
ruined by bringing them into a very
hot, dry. unventilated room. Our plan
is to keep a stand containing our stock
of hyscinths in the parlor or hall, which
is kept most the time but few degrees
above freezing. From this room they
are taken as needed-one or two of each
color-to the sittingroom or the dining
room for special occasions, but always
returned to their cool quarters for the
night. By this method they not only
flower well, but keep in bloom long
time. Change the water occasionally,
If II becomes discolored
