A Pretty Experiment.

Some OF our younger readers may like
10 try the experiment of making hang
ing garden OF sponge. It is q pretty
novelty. Take white sponge of large
size, and SOW it full of rice, hemp, grass
and other seeds ; then place it in q shall
low dish, in which little water is con-
stantly kept, and as the sponge will alb
sorb the moisture, the seeds will begin
to sprout before many days. When this
has fairly taken place, the sponge may
be suspended by means of cords in the
window where a little sunshine will
enter. It will thus become q mass of
green foliage, and should be refreshed
with water daily so as to be kept moist.

CHANGERS ExCHANGE.--P Preliminary
steps are being taken to establish a
system of exchange between the Coop
erative Societies Of Great Britain and
the Patrons Of Husbandry in this
country. 1t is proposed to exchange
the manufactures of England for
American products, and thereby save
the large percentage now paid to mid
dlemen in both countries. The Eng
fish societies propose to freight their
own ships with their manufactures,
and to receive in return the wheat,
cotton and other products Of this coun-
try on such terms as will be equitable
and economical. 1t is urged that by
this course a much greater quantity Of
American products would find its way
to the English markets than under the
present system.
