Mounting Ferns.

By taking little trouble pretty pict-
ures may often be made out of fern
fronds considered useless in the green
house, or, at all events, by the use of II
few which may be cut off and never
missed After the ferns have been re-
moved, they should be dried between
sheets of botanical drying-papcr. Even
old newspapers or blottingpaper will
answer the purpose. Presenting that a
collection Of dried ferns is at hand, a
sheet of nice cardboard should be pro-
cured Some like white cardboard
others nicely tinted, which is the best.
The ferns should then be laid lightly
on it and arranged in the form of a
bouquet or in whatever shape desired.
The position Of each fern should be indi-
Gated before it is glued down, as after
that it could not be well removed with
out marking the cardboard. Supposing
the fronds to have been arranged ac-
cording to taste they should be lifted up
again and their backs glued with fine
brush, so as to make them stick to the
paper. Should any gold or silver varie-
ties be amongst those selected they
should be placed SO as to show the col
ors of the under sides OF the fronds.
The light-colored moss which is TO be
found growing on old trunks of trees, if
interspersed through the ferns, tends to
give the arrangement a light and'elegant
appearance. A wreath OF ferns mounted
in this way has an effective appearance
If placed round or under some handsome
iy-illuminated text. The fronds selected
for mounting In this way should be those
OF small and light-looking varieties, as
large and heavy.growing fronds would
make "a small arrangement OF this de-
sciiption look heavy. in this way a
capital book Of reference on ferns might
be made up, each variety being mounted
on sheet of drawing-paper or card
board, and the name OF the variety,
height OF growth, native country, etc,
written under the fronds. 1t will be
found astonishing how very quickly IA
collection Of this kind can be got up, AS
single fronds are easily obtained.-1he

THE LICK sQUABBLE.

The action of the great San Francisco million
naire, Mr.. Lick, is revoking the decd of trust by
which he had assigned nearly all his
immense property for various scientific and
philanthropc objects, makes quite STIR and is
variously criticised. He says that his relations
think he did not properly take care of them, and
threaten law suits that he made the trust, at a
time when he thought himself unlikely to long
survive, but that he now feels able to carry out
his purposes himself, &c. The trustees are re-
ported to declare that his disposal was final and
irrevocable they did not seek the trust CON
fded to them and they propose to go to law
rather than give it mp. 1t seems to us that they
are taking wrong view. Mr.. Lick made his mon
sy himself not the trustees, nor the public, nor
his relatives. The accumulation of the vast for
tune was due to his own ability in that direction.
II, therefore, he chooses to devote it 10 certain
public objects, well and good, but if, before
the work is accomplished indeed begun-he
chooses to recall his money, it does seem like
rather an ungracious act to attempt to beat him
out of it by law suit, especially, too as he de-
crares that he has not given up his intention OF
applying it to the public benefit.
