MuIchIng.

The light and sandy character of many
soils and the dryness of the atmosphere
explain the Importance of mulching in
summer. Downing says mulching is
nothing more than simply covering the
ground about the stems with coarse
straw or litter from the barnyard, which,
by preventing evaporation, keeps the soil
from becoming dry, and maintains it in
that moist and equable condition of
temperature most favorable to the growth
of young roots. This shows the benefit
of summer-mulching; but many claim
to derive great benefit from mulChing in
winter also, applying the mulch even
after the ground has frozen. What pur-
pose can this mulch serve but to protect
the roots? This, you perceive, brings
up the question as to which is killed by
our winters, top or roots.
Without going into the merits of this
question l will simply avow the belief
that winter-mulching often saves the life
of the tree. Freezing of the roots may
not do any material injury, but sudden
changes of temperature, especially sud
den thawings, unquestionably do iniure
the tree, and cold snaps after the tree has
started into growth are still more disas.
trous. Again, as has been recently stated
by u member Of the society, the tree
keeps up certain amount of ac
tivity to which moisture is an es-
sential condition throughout the win.
ter. Dry winds evaporate this moisture
and the tree must have some means of
replenishing the supply. These are
mostly taken away when all of its roots
are enveloped in mass of frozen soil.
Dry, porous soils freeze deeper and thaw
out quicker than moist ones. They do
this because of the comparative absence
of water in them, which is poor con-
ductor of heat, and therefore serves to
render temperature equable. Thus, con-
corning mulching, science explains and
enforces what practice has shown to be
good.
But mulching is not equally valuable
on all soils, and some attach little i'm.
portanCe to it. Clay soils need it far less
than sandy soils. They are more reten-
tive of moisture, and hence do not dry
out so easily in summer, freeze so deeply
in winter, nor thaw out so suddenly in
spring. Again, thorough cultivation may
in part take the place of nulching, since
it favors the absorption and retention of
moisture in the soil.
To sum up this matter, mulching pre-.
serves the moisture of the soil in sum-
mer, lessons the depth of frost in winter
and renders changes of temperature in
the soil less sudden. 1t is most beneficial
on sandy soils and less so on loans and
clays. 1t is not so necessary if thorough
cultivation be given.-Prof. Lacey, before

is done by half dozen rows of shirring

! Ladies use the patterns of this suit for
making overdresses to be worn with the
black silk skirts that now form part of
every wardrobe. Thus for the present
season the pleated basque and overskirt
arc make of shepherds plaid-black and
white woodland worn over black silk
skirt, or 1t may be over blue or plum
colored silk or else the overdress is of
summer silk of the small pin.head checks
of black and white, or perhaps of the in.
expensive striped silks. This is also a
popular design for making gray or brown
camels hair of invisible plaids De-
bcges of quiet colors are made in this
way, trimmed with knife-pleatings and
worn over brown, black or gray silk
skirts For midsummer the pretty linen
lawns that are now imported in stripes,
bars and dots of color on white or on
ecru grounds will be made by this
basque and overskirt pattern with self
trimpiings, or perhaps edged with en-
broidery. These cool and inexpensive
fabrics cost from twenty-eight cents to
forty cents yard, wash we'll, and are
very durable. Plain canvas grenadines
are rather pdssee since the introduction
of plaids and stripes, but are still liked
for service and cheapness.
For the calico dresses, that form an
important part of the outfit of housewives
and of schoolgirls, there is no prettier
model than that now illustrated. If the
overskirt is thought too dressy, it can be
omitted, and the house dress will be COM
plete with merely the basque and lower
skirt, trimmed with Il gathered or pleated

Pleated Basque, With Deep, Round
OVerskirt.

The pleated basque is not a tight-ft-
ting garment with darts and side-foms,
but is fitted, like blouse, merely by a
seam under each arm. 1t is, in fact, the
stylish modification of the side-pleated
waists worn last summer, and is called a
basque simply because it is made long
enough to cover the hips. Instead of
covering tDe whole waist with pleats, as
was formerly the fashion, this new pleat-
ed basque has but six pleats in front and
six in the back, leaving the shoulder
seams plain, and allowing the part under
the arms to fit smoothly without the
clumsy fullness made by the old pattern.
The pleats are laid deeply, and begin in
the neck of the garment, extending
straight down to the end of the BASQUE
there are three pleats in each back and
front turned toward the middle. The
back has no visible seam if the fabric is
narrow it should be pieced under q
pleat so that the seam will be hidden
In washing goods the pleats are sewed
neatly, but in silk, debege or grcna
dine they are merely pressed, or al
most basted There is no tight lining
to this blouse-basque, as it is to be
worn over a smOothly-fitted corset
cover Sometimes, however, it is neces
sary to line the entire garment, making
1t double; grenadine is lined with thin
silk, and silk is lined with thinner silk
or with paper-muslin A shirred case foi
drawing-strings is put in the back of the
garment, and this is concealed by the
belt which is always worn with the
basque. The basque part is six or eight
inches below the belt, and is usually fin
ished by piping or a hem; but those
who wish to add more dressy finish put
a knife-pleating ON the edge like that on
the upper skirt; the latter plan is very
pretty for grepadine and for lawns. The
neck has the stylish Byron collar, but
many such garments have a standing
pleated frill around the neck, while
others have the tlaring Medicis collar, OF
else the English collar with points turned
over in front. The shoulder seams mus
be very short, and the coat sleeves are
fitted almost tight to the arm. A pleat
ing turned toward the hand trims the
wrist, and on this q bow of ribbon is set

A Dirty Party Trick.

The Democratic Governor and Council
of New Hampshire have been doing some
very contemplate work. Gen. Nathaniel
Head was a Republican candidate for
State Senator. He received majority of
the votes cast, but some of the voters
wrote their ballots " Matt Head" In con-
sequence of this abbrcviation of Gen.
Heads first name the Governor and
Council have declared him defeated. One
of the Democratic candidates was a Frank
Jones, and as such the people voted for
HIM. 1t turns out that Mr.. Jones was
christened Franklin" Notwithstand-
ing this fact the Governor and Council
gave him Il certificate of election. Now,
it seems to us if Gen. Head was defeated
so was Mr.. Jones also. Matt" is as much
natural abbreviation of Nathaniel" as
Frank" is of " Franklin" Altogether,
the action of the Governor and Council is
about as dirty party trick as we have ever
seen resorted to by any body ofmen claim
ing respectability. Beside this it directly
dcprivcs the people of the district of the
representative elected by them. We are
pleased to see that several Democratic
papers have warmly denounced the action
of Gov. Weston and the Council in this
matter. We do not understand how any
honest man can sustain them. When the
people of New Hampshire are next called
on to elect IA Governor, Gen. Head will be
a strong candidate for the Republicans.
The people cannot help but sympathize
with man who has been tlagrantly
swindled out of his election, and they
would be likely to elect him to fill the
place which Gov Weston has dishonored.
Rightthinking men of all parties believe
that the man who is honestly chosen by
the people should hold the Office to which
he was elected, and they will not hesitate
to rebuke those who set aside the public
verdict.-N. y. Dispdteh.

italian Mesmerists.

Charles Warren Stoddard writes to the
San Francisco Chronicle from Florence /:
"We had little adventure, my comrade
and |, under the very shadow of the Pitti
Palace this morning. Hearing the sharp
notes of trumpet we turned and found a
young fellow Of about fiveand-twenty,
should say, gathering an audience in the
bare space before the palace His COM
panion, a lad of fifteen, or thereabout, was
sitting on a camp-stool patiently and hum
bly, awaiting his fate. While the crowd
was rapidly collecting-anyone can at
tract score or two of people at mo-
ment's notice in Italy-two policemen
strolled by. The trumpeter hid his in
strument under his coat, and the police
men suffered the performance to go on
without further interruption. The elder
boy, with his long, thin lips, his bright,
nervous eye, and his engaging smile, be.
gan brief lecture on mesmersm. In the
dressing himself first to this one and then
to some one on the opposite side of the
circle that had been formed three deep
around him, he held the attention Of
all, and with very few passes over
the head of the younger boy put him
into deep sleep. The young fellow was
as quiet as lamb; he seemed TO have no
will of his own; he gave way almost inn
mediately TO the superior will-power OF
his companion. The experiments began
at once. We were asked our names, and,
though we whispered them in the ear OF
the mesmerist, the young fellow, who was
seated at some distance from us and quite
out Of hearing, gave them distinctly when
called for. Moreover, though he was
blindtolded and though we stood behind
Others in the crowd, so that for a moment
he was invisible to US, he knew whether
the mesmerist was touching our shoulders
or the shoulders of some one else near us.
We threw dice on plate, and, having
reckOned the sum of the numbers that
were uppermost, he told them infalibly,
though we were the only ones who knew
them; even the mesmerist was not per-
mitted to see them. l have seen man
and woman in Naples and again in Venice
who did all manner of marvellous thing:
in the same line; and in Rome there was
girl of fifteen who went from street u

was but eight years of age, and the feats
they performed were certainly startling >
