of the metallic solution. The mate

As numbers of our citizens are hieing
to the woods and fields for flowers,
now that the temperature is mild, and
Out-of-dOor sport is enjoyable, we will
let Mr.. Wilson Flagg tell them where
to look for the finest wild flowers. He
says:
Wild plants of rare beauty abound in
a recent clearing, especially in tract
from which a growth of hard wood has
been felled, if afterwards the soil has
remained undisturbed. In the deep
woods the darkness will not permit any
sort of underground except few plants
of peculiar habit and constitution. But
after the removal of the wood, all kinds
of indigenous plants whose seeds have
been waited there by the winds or ear
ried there by the birds, will revel in the
clearing, until they are choked by a new
growth of trees and shrubs. Straw ber-
ries and several species of brambles
spring up there as if by magic, and
cover the stumps of the tree with their
vines and their racemes of black and
scarlet fruit; and hundreds of beautiful
Towering plants astOnish us by their
presence, rs if they were new crea-
Iion. We must look to these clearings,
and to those tracts in which the trees
have been destroyed by fire, more than
to any others, for the exact method OF
nature. Among the very first plants
which would appear after the burning,
beside the lilaceous plants whose bulbs
lie too deep in the soil 10 be destroyed,
are those with downy seeds, which are
Immediately planted there by the winds.
One very conspicuous and beautiful
plant, the Spiked Willow Herb, is so
abundant in any tract that has been
burned, the next year after the cOnfia-
grafton, that in the West and the British
provinces it has gained the name of
Eireweed.
But the paradise of the young botanist
is a glade, or open space i'll a wood,
usually a level between two rocky
emiuences, or a little alluvial meadow
pervaded by a small stream, open to the
sun, and protected at the same time
from the winds by surrounding hills
and woods. Ii is surprising how soon
the tiOwery tenants of these gla,ies will
vanish after the removal of this bulwark
of trees. But with this protection, the
lOveiiest flowers will cluster there, like
the singing birds around a cottage and
its enclosures in the wilderness. Here
they find genial soil aud natural
conservatory, and abide there until
some accident destroys them. Nature
selects these places for her favorite
garden plots.

Hens Eating Fedthers.-The habit OF
pulling and eating feathers from others
which some fowls possess is perni-
ciOus one. The cause is probably de-
sire for animal food, as the habit is first
acquired by a fowl pulling the young
feathers full of blood and Juice from
her own body and eating them. We
have tried various plans for checking
the habit, ur rather breaking uD the ap
petite, for II Is really an appetite, and
the most etfectual proves TO be the
feeding to the flock considerable pro-
portion of animal food and fish scraps.
Change of associates ami quarters. and
an abundance of green food, are etlica-
ciOus, and exercise Is to he secured If
possible. We have the experiment of
bury ing the grain given them as food
in ear tn which Decessitates a consider
able amount of labor. in scratching, and
this also proves effective. In fact any
thing that will for time divert or dis
tract the attention of the fowls from
the feather pulling habit is desirable,
and if they can be kept from it for a
few days 10y any means whatever, they
will forget all about it. The maiu
thing is 10 keep their time employed in
some way. If the habit is limited To
but two or three of the fowls they had

Velocity Of Light.-PrOfessor Cornu.
of the EooLe Potytecknique, Paris, has
put into successful Use a new instru-
ment for measuring the velocity OF
light between two stations,in in which an
electrical registering apparatus is used,
giving, it is believed, more accurate
measurements than the well known
toOthed wheel arrangement of Fizeau
Foucault fixed the velocity of light, b,

The Coke Manganese Gdlrdnic Cell
The well-known Leclanche's cell is
now in use for many purposes, giving
a very constant current, but which,
however, is much decreased by the re-
sissance of the tar covering the top of
of the porous cell, and by the decOm-
position of the manganese diOxide which
is transformed during the action of the
cell into oxide the latter oxide closes
the pores of the cell. Sergius Kern S
cell is modification of Leclanche's one
and the experiments proved 1t to act
very constantly.
Two parts of cleanly washed coke,
and one part Ofmanganese dioxlde IN the
state of powder, ,are well mixed together
with small quantity of water acIdn-
lated with some drops of nitric acid /;
the mixture then il strongly pressed
into brown paper cartridges 5 inches
high and I inches diameter. The re
sulting coke manganese cylinders are
dried in a warm place, but not over a
fire, because the heat, as 1t Is known
decomposes the manganese oxide.
The dried cylinders are placed in
glass jars containing concentrated So
luton of ammonium chloride, and sur
rounded with zinc plates curved IN the
usual manner. BY this arrangement
the use of porous cells is avoided, and
a battery of such elements acts more
constantly: besides this. the cOnstruc-
tiun of it is cheaper. Instead of hav-
ing glass jars. Kern uses wooden boxes.
the size of the glass jars the internal
parts of the boxes are covered with the
following mixture, melted iu an iron
cup:-2 parts of wax. 10 parts of com
mon resin (roIophony), parts of red
lead, and part of gypsum.
The zinc of the element is the mega
tive pole the coke, the positive pole.

The Sugar Beet.-In the London Ag-

many continental farmers consider a
crop of sugar beet far better aud more
profitable than any other root crop. Ii

grown on failow, aud by good cultiva-
tioD and judicious manuriDg yields as
much as any one root. The sugar beet
il not inclined To get hollow In the top,
does not suffer so much from the frost,
and keeps better in socks. The white
SIlt sian beet is best, being the richest
in sugar, and grows mostly under the
ground.

The Mother.-It has been truly said
that the first being that rushes to the
recollection of a soldier or a sailor, in
his hearts difficulty, in his mother. She
clings 10 his memory and affection in
the midst of all the fOrgetfulness and
hardihOod induced by rowing life.
The last message he leaves for her; his
last whisper breath-s her name. The
mother. as she in>tils the lesson of
piety and filial obligation into the heart
of her infant son, should always feel
that her labor is not in vain. She may
drop into the grave; but she has left

A Carpet -Stretcher-A very simple
and useful carpet stretcher is made by
fastening a narrow piece of wood to a
broom handle, or the hay rake or fork.
A hole is bored in the piece of wood
which is shaped like the head of hay
rake-rather smaller than the handle.
The end of the handle is Whitfield down
to tit the hole, SO that it cannot be-
forced through, and it is then wedged
tightly in its place. A few pieces of
wire shingle nails, filed or ground to a
sharp point, are then inserted in the
head of the stretcher, projecting so far
from the edge that they may take hold
of the carpet, but no more. These
should be filed or ground smooth, as
any sharp or rough corners will cut or
break the carpet threads. The front of
the head from which the points project
should he beveled down to an ridge !;
then very short points only will be
needed, and the implement will be
lighter and neater. IL will be found
handy at hOuse-cleaning time.
