CleaninH tho Cellar.

The spring brings it's annual cleaning,
at least to tho house, but not always to
the cellar; and yet tho cellar is tho most
important room in the house, 80 far as
cleaning is concerned. There can be no
health in tho household when the cellar
is left with mass Of decaying vegetables,
~. remains Of the winter store. Many
very careful people remove even the po-
tatoes from the cellar Is soon as danger
of freezing is over; and, if there be good
barn cellar, or other place where they
may be kept cool and dry, and from con-
tact with the air, it is = good plan. II
not, sort them carefully over, and raise
them up from contact with the ground.
All other vegetables should be taken
out, and the cellar as thoroughly cleaned
and whitewashed as any other part of the
house. II this be dono and proper ventil-
alton is secured, there is no better place
to keep milk for butter making,l unless
one have dairy house made specially for
the purpose.
One Of the most pernicious practices
We know is to have lot Of loose boards
about the cellar, winter and summer, con-
tracing mold and fungous growths.
When the cellar is cleaned, everything
movable-snd the cellar should not con.
tain any fixtures that may not be taken
down-should be carried out of doors,
thoroughly washed and scrubbed, and be-
come well aired and entirely dry, before
being taken back. If everything have =
coat Of zinc or chemical paint, so much
the better. There IS nothing pays better
than thorough cleanliness everywhere. but
the rule will especially apply to the cellar.

These words were spoken by Barnum,

days, to speak the truth, tho whole truth,

A simple and usually successful mode
Of extracting = needle or any piece Of
steel or iron broken off in the flesh is &C.
complished by tho application Of simple
pocket magnet. An acquaintance of ours
had = little daughter who recently broke
needle off in her hand. A surgeon was
called, who made several efforts to find
the needle by probing and incision, but
without success. After tho surgeon had
left, the mother conceived the idea Of try.
ing magnet; one was procured, and A.
ter ono or two applications of it. the
broken fragment of needle was
discovered attached to the magnet.
This idea will be of especial
utility to workers in iron. Machine shop
surgery is net tho most delicate nor
least painful, though man heroically un-
dergo it rather than stand the loss OF
time due to an infamed eye or festered
finger. Iron filings have way of i'm.
bedding themselves in the eye, which de-
fies almost every ordinary means for
their extraction. For their removal, a
small, blunt, pointed bar Of steel, well
magnetizcd, will be found excellent, and
We should recommend that workmen liza
BILE to such injuries keep such an instru.
ment about them. It would be good
plan to inser: such bar in 4 penknife,
in 4 manner similar to q blade.

Watering Floyvcrs In Pets.

Many who have tho care of window
plants seem to think that the operation
Of watering is one Of the simplest items
incident to their care, and will hardly
thank us for advice on this point, and yet
We may safely hazard the assertion that
more plants are injured and more fail to
reach their greatest perfection from an
improper mode of watering than from oil
other cases combined.
To water the various varieties that
their different wants shall oil be supplied
and no more, is an art acquired by but
few, and the credit which some receive
for fine collections is often due to the
proper observation of this one item.
It should be kept in mind that the duty
Of the water is to dissolve and convey to
the roots of the plants the food which
they need; some plants must have sea-
son of comparative rest. and if such are
watered literally during this time they
will keep on growing, and the necessary
rest is not obtained. When any of my
lady friends tell ME that they succeed
very we'll with certain classes of plants,
such as the fuchsia, Gala, lobelias, and
ivies, and fail with others. At once set
them down Is being proiuse waterers,
who by too much water injure or destroy
such plants as will not bear it. On the
other hand, there are those who fail with
this class of plants and succeed we'll with
ohters. tecause their mode of watering
does not supply enough for tho wants Of
one class, but is about the proper amount
for another.
Many plants arc permanently injured
by water remaining in the saucer; others
often suffer from bad selection Of soil.
Some Of our amateur florists fail with
certain class Of plants, Of which the bego-
MIA may be taken as type, because they
shower the leaves with cold water, but
for this very reason are eminently sue.
cessful with another class. of which the
camellia will serve as type.
Az . general rule, from which there are
few exceptions, the texture of tho leaf
may be taken as an index of their power
to resist the application of water. Plants
having porous, open or heshy leaves COW
cred with soft down should be seldom, if
ever, moistened, while those having glossy
or hard leaves will do all tho better if
washed frequently.
Our ivies, hoyas, and cobsas seem to
laugh at us after good dashing, but the
begonias, coleus, and plants Of the same
class, do not appear to appreciate it.
