To PRESERVE cut flowers, fill saucer
with fine sand, piling it up in the center
somewhat, in the form OF mound.
Moisten the sand and arrange your now
ers in it, and they will keep fresh severai
days.
WHEN q screw hole gets SO worn that
the screw will not stay in, cut strips OF
cork and fill the hole full OF them.
Then force the screw in, and it will stay
there as well as if driven into an entirely
new hole. To fasten iron rings, staples,
etc. in stone, run melted sulphur around
them.

A CORRESPONDENT writes Of travelling
in Spain: Whether in war or peace,
under the apprehension of danger or in
the fullest security, slow travelling will
in all probability be long the order of
the day in Spain. 1t has happened to me
often to find the ticket-office still closed
at the time officially appointed for the
starting of the train. Of the lettering
at every petty station there is no end.
The great point for the guard is to have
his passengers shut up in the carriages
and the signal for departure given. That
being done he takes his leisure and has
his chat and paper cigar with the station
master. There is not one clock that
keeps decent time along the whole line,
and apparently no rule to compel the
guard to look at his own watch, if he has
one. What is most surprising and most
provoking is the temper of the Spaniards
when travelling under such trying cir
cumstances. They allow themselves to
be penned up like sheep, and sit wrapped
in their cloaks, with their noses up in the
air and their feet on the opposite seat,
enjoying the ineffable and never too
dearly bought blessing and privilege of
doing nothing. You never see one of
them reading, and there is nothing to de-
light the eye or claim the attention in the
bleak landscape through which the train
is lingering. The stations are dirty, Of.
fensive holes, with never a flower,
shrub, or bird to give
evidence of domestic habits or
civilized tastes. Neither is there
much talking among the passengers, or
you may set them down as Galatians.
Your Castilian or Aragonese never over
exerts himself in conversation. He sits
in his place and waits, and allows moth
ing to disturb the repose which to one
OF his half Oriental blood is the quin-
tessence of earthly enjoyment. He can
not understand or sympathize with the
impotence that makes you SO fretful
and adgety. Your perpetual questions,
What are they doing. what are we
waiting forT evidently worry and annoy
him. He either never answers, or, if his
good breeding forbids his keeping abso-
lutte silence, he meets your questions
with his universal Quien sabe.' It Is
all the Same to him. What he may have
to do at his journeys end he knows not,
neither does he care. What is satisfac-
tory 70 him ID that in the train, at al
events, he IL doing nothing-the easiest,

phy of seedplanting, as compared WIN
transplanting, may be illustrated Dy tne
following suggestions: In change
which was procured by this Forest Com.
mittee in the United States Homestead
act ten acres of tree .planting will now
secure title to q homestead, instead OF
it's being necessary as formerly to plant
FORTY acres. 1t will not take as many
hounds of tree seed to produce the num-
Der of trees necessary to secure home
stead as tons of young trees for trans
planting. The seed will not cost more
than hundredth part as much as the
purchase of trees for transplanting. Inc
labor of planting the seed where the
trees are to grow is not more than .
hundredth part the labor needed to plant
an equal number of young trees. The
seedlings are more certain to grow than
transplanted trees, and five-year-old
seedlings will be larger than three'year'
old transplanted trees two years after
TRANSFORMING. The seedlings will also
continue in subsequent years to outgroW
the transplanted ones.

then produce chronic disease by the use
OF spirituous liquors, "Tonics," "Appe.

produced disease by indiscretion, the

And Old Peter Tickleby still smiled.
The morning dawned; it was clear and
cold. Soon the sun peeped cautiously
over the horizon, and then mounting the
tree-tops shot its warm rays conciliating-
ly over the wide common, now covered
with mantle of crisp snow. They gilt
tered in the white-fringed branches of
the trees that stood naked and silent on
the banks; and one rich, clear beam
stole softly through the half-open door
of the old cabin, and played tenderly
and caressingly on the features of Old
Tickleby. They threw generous warmth
on his countenance, and smile of an
swering sympathy rested on the thin,
blush lips, and, under the cherishing
warmth OF the sunbeam, seemed to ex-
pand over the features and light them
with look Of perfect peace. His eyes
closed so calmly and the benevolent ex-
preston of an unremorseful heart was
SO surely impressed in his lineaments,
that when the ray of light had wandered
over the face and white hair, tossed care
lessly over the pillow, it seemed as If a
halo, and the old man looked almost di.
vine in his silence.

Treatment Of Diphtheria.

Dir. ]. w. Heysinger, Of Philadelphia,
gives his treatment of Diphtheria, in
long article in the Scientific American,
of the 18th inst We abridge the article,
giving only the treatment, with such of
his remarks upon the disease itself as
seem to be of importance.
Diphtheria usually commences with
high fever and headache. and In chill
dren, with nausea and vomiting. There
is great prostration. Upon the tonsils
and adjacent parts are seen white, snow
Aaky patches. In malignant cases, the
patches are often yellow, or 5rownish,
and a terrible odor is perceived.
The Remedy is permanganate of pot
ash, in conjunction (not combination)
with tincture of belladonna, administer
ed as follows:
Two (2) to three (3) grains-not more
of the permanganate, dissolved in 2
to A ounces of water, in goblet. Five
drops of the officinal tincture Of BELLA
donna, or better, 10 to 20 drops of the
1st decimal homeopathic tincture of
belIadonna, in another goblet, in an
equal quantity of water. Dose-a tea
spoonful .of each, alternately, at inter-
walls of half, or one hour. Separate
spoons must be used ,'and the goblets be
kept covered.
In "a hours favorable change will
be seen, but quite as often the disease
seems to go on unchecked, save that the
fever seems more moderate. But during
the second day most marked change
will take place. The fever will entire
Iy subside; the mind will brighten, the
tongue will begin to grow clean, and the
deposits upon the fauces will peel off at
their edges, or break away. The patient
will be on the highway to recovery, and
a day or two more of the treatment will
bring back the hue of health, and appe-
tite to correspond. In rare cases 5, 8 OF
days may be required.
In the case where the disease rapidly
invades the larynx and bronchial air
passages the above treatment may not
prove satisfactory. Such cases have
been successfully treated by inhalation
Of the vapor, mot the spray,) Of di-
lutte aqueous solution of bromine.
Permanganate of Potash the same
writer has found very effective in the
treatment Of certain slow forms of pu'
trid and typhoid fever.
