E.perimenling TO some Purpose.

G. W. Lloyd, the architect, desired some fire.
proof brick the other day for the floor of new
barn, but when he learned the cost per thousand
he determined to experiment a little with com
mon brick. He procured a few hundred and had
them delivered ON a vacant lot on Michigan Av-
anue, between Third and Fourth Streets, where
they were placed in large vat, such as the pa
vers use in which TO heat their tar, and allowed
to absorb the hot tar for four hours. In that
length of time the bricks were as the tar itself,
and soaked full of it, and when allowed to cool
off it was found that their solidty had been
greatly increased. A reporter of the Free Press
struck one of the bricks eight or ten hard blows
before he could even break piece off, and to
strike one with hammer is like striking a rock.
Subjected to the same tests the regular fire.
proof brick, the tar-soaketl brick came ont finely
To determine their fire-proof qualities,
number of the bricks were passed into the bla-
zing furnace; after severe test they came out
without flaw crack; in fact, they were rem
dered stronger and tougher for the baking, and
it was almost impossible to break one. Mr..
Lloyd will the brick thus prepared for the
stables, and will then, if the council grants per-
mission, lay enough of them at some prominent
crossing to test their merits for street-paying.-

FLORICULTURE.

Flowers for a constant and brilliant show
These will be found principally among the plants
that bloom the first season, and are undoubted-
ly familiar to most readers. We would recon-
mend the Aster, Antirrhinum, Balsam, Dianthus,
Delphinium, ScalpigiOssa, Stock, Verbena, Dou-
BILE Zinina, and many Others.
ornamental leaved plaDts.-The ornamental
leaved plants are becoming very popular in all
sections of the world. They produce a fine effect
when thrown in group of half dozen or more.
The Ricinus, Amaranthus, Yea Japonica fol
VaTiegata Perilla, Nankinesis, Cannas and the
Caladium. Esculentum, are found useful in this
respect, and we dare say there is nothing better.
The seed of all the above named varieties with
the exception of the two last may be sown in the
open ground, and will produce fine effect the
first season, they may be transplanted from the
hot-bed The Gamma does best started in heat;
the Caladium must be grown from roots; they
are quite certain to produce good plants the first
season, the leaves of which are gorgeous.
Flowers desired for fragrance.-The MignOnette,
Sweet Alyssum, Sweet Pea, Erysimum, Stocks,
Pinks, Pseotees and CarnatiOn, are among the
most desirable for fragrantce. The perfume of
the latter is really wonderful.
Climbing Plants.-These are particularly val
uable for covering buildings, fences, old stumps,
etc, aud are unequaled for making the insight
ly objects look beautiful.
Hardy ANIMALS may be sown in the open bor-
der from April to June. Before sowing, which
should be done on fine, dry day, carefully pre-
pare the SOIL and, in covering regulate the thick
ness Dy tile size OF the seeuS Slhai seeus suouu
be lightly covered. Success in growing ANIMALS
depends, in great measure, upon their being
properly thinned to regular distances, so as to
give plenty of room for the full development of
each plant. This, in too many instances, is en-
tirely neglected, hence the dissatisfaction SO of
ten expressed as to their use. s-sF
Half hardy and Tender ANIMALS may be sown
in March and April, in pans, and placed on a
slight hot bed, and, when strong enough, pricked
ont into a cool frame near the glass, where they
may get hardened and well-establshed for trans
planting into their blooming quarters in May,
or potted off singly for greenhouse or conserv-
atory decorations. Under ordinary circumstan-
ces most of the varieties will bloom freely if
sown in the open ground about the middle of
May. ....-.- #-sr o.. --
Biennials and Perennials.-The more select and
tender varieties for Summer and Autumn bloom
ing may be sown in gentle heat in March and
April, and treated in the manner recommended
for half-hardy ANIMALS. The hardy kind should
be sown in the open border from April to
August, in prepared beds, when strong enough,
potted off singly, or trangplanted to the open
ground, where they are intended to bloom the
following year. During the Winter protect the
plants with light covering of leaves or manure.

Mating.

As the Summer is approaching, and the time of
mating draws near, it may be well to call the
attention of housekcepers to the fact that, as
there is right way of doing everything, there is
decidedly right way to put down Canton mat
ting. 1t is the almost universal practice to put
it down wrong. Most persons cut the length,
and then, laying the breadths in their proper
places oil the floor, proceed to drive vast num-
Der of tacks mp and down the edge. This me hol
serves the purpose of keeping the covering very
tightly the floor, but it Injuries the boards,
aud ruins the mating Every tack breaks one
straw, and perhaps more.
These Canton mattings are male on boats,
where they are woven in short pieces about two
yards long These short pieces are afterwards
joined together on the shore in lengths about
forty yards. 1t is easy to see where these two
yard pieces are joined, and the first thing to be
done, after the mating is cut into the proper
lengths, is to sew these places across and across
on the wrong side to keep the joints from open
ing. Then sew the breadths together, and tack
it to the floor in the same way that you treat a
carpet Mattings made in this way will last
fully twice as long as where they are tackled in
every breadth.
good mating should last six or seven years.
