rHE proceedings of the city council
on Tuesday evening, n synopsis of
which appeared In THE HERALD of

character. The informal vote tn

ell displayed nm opposition to the pro-
posed reduction OF salaries from some
gentlemen that was quite unlocked for.
The question will probably come up
for final action at the special session
tomorrow evening, when 1t il to be

Preparation for Winter Flowers.

It is best even in summer, to make
a little preparation for winter flowers,
and it is surprising what little fore
thought will do in this direction. A
pot Of mignonette and another of sweet
alyssum cost nothing, and yet few
things will be found more pleasant
and attractive in the winter season.
Plants that appear unimportant. al
most insignificant, and entirely eclips-
ed by more ambitious rivals, when the
garden is ablazed with its summer
glory, sometimes prove to be very
queens of beauty when transferred to
the sitting-room or the bay window.
The balsam is very desirable plant
for winter blooming, particularly the
white, and towards autumn we often
select cuttings from few of the finest
plants in the garden, and root them
in pots for winter flowers. The stock
is equally good. The cobe scandens,
and nearly all the climbers, make ex-
cellent winter boomers We mention
these things because they are so easily
grown, yet every way desirable. TO
grow plants for winter Towering, seed
can be sown about July or August, in
a shady, cool place in the garden, or
in boxes, the soil being kept we'll wa
tered, and by autumn, plants will be
lust right to transfer to the house
OF course as plants get large enough
to transplant, they must be put in
pots in which they are to flower. Mig
nonette and sweet alyssum may be
sown as late as September. Put from
three to six plants in pot. The Ma
deria vine tubers may be kept out of
the ground till the latter part of June
and If then planted in pots will be in
just proper condition to transfer to
house and will prove no mean orna-
ment to the window garden.
The tuberose should be treated in
Just the same manner, and will flower
in the early winter.
Any plants in open ground that
have not bloomed may be taken up
carefully and ported, shading few
days after potting and given full
supply of water.
Look around the garden before
frost, and see if you have young and
strong plants that proved little late
for outdoor Towering, that You would
like to grow in pots. If SO, take them
up with as little disturbance as posi-
bic, put in good soil, and treat as pre-
viously directed.-Md. PlomgAnaan.
How TO PRESERVE SMOKED MEATS.
Take ground black pepper, the finer
the better; wash all the mold or soil
off from the hams or beef and while
they are damp rub them thoroughly
with pepper. Two pounds of pepper
will keep thirty pounds of meat free
from flies or insects of all kinds. 1t
can remain, after being thus treated,
in the smoke-house or wood-house,
and not a fly will approach it. 1t also
improves the flavor Of the meat.

Words of Warning.

Have metal or earthen vessels for
matches, and keep them out of the
reach of children. Wax matches are
not safe.
Do not deposit ashes in wooden
vessel or upon wooken floor.
Never use light in examining a
gasmeter.
Never take q light into closet.
Never smoke or read in bed by
candle or lamp light.
Never put kindling wood on the top
Of stove to dry.
Never leave clothes near a CRATE or
fireplace to dry.
Be careful in making fires with
shavings, and never use any kind of
oil to kindle fire.
Keep all lights as far from curtains
as possible.
Always fill and trim your lamps by
daylight, and never near fire.
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1875-12-03
Hen Manure

1t should be kept in boxes or bar
rels, perfectly dry, and will then lose
none gifts valuable properties. Neither
lime nor ashes should ever be mixed
with it while composing it, which is
best done by adding about double the
quantity of dry earth in the mixture,
mixing well with the shovel, moisten-
ing it moderately and shoveling it
over three or four days until ready to
use it. It should be moistened suffi-
GENTLY to allow being broken up and
we'll mixed with earth, but when so
moistened it is apt to heat, and the
shoveling over is necessary to prevent
this and consequent loss of valuable
properties. A handful of this compost
in hill Of corn will give it power
full start. A barrel of hen manure so
composted will often double the yield
of an acre of wheat. A correspondent
in the Maine Farmer says:-sI have
used hen manure, and found it to be
very valuable. Tn the first place
would select dry, warm piece of land,
pillow it deep, harrow and cultivate it
well, SO it will be light and easy to
work, and furrow it about three and
a-half feet apart. Then put about
two large tablespoonful in hill in
addition to a fair shovelful of fine
barnyard manure placed on top of the
hen manure and leveled down and
covered with half an inch of dirt; then
drop the corn in straight rows both
ways. I think one can get more in
this way than by spreading the barn
manure and planting the corn on the
hen manure alone"

The Right Way to Boil Eggs.

There is an objection to the common
way of boiling eggs which people do
not understand. It's this: The white,
under three minutes rapid cooking,
becomes tough and indigestible, while
the yelk is left soft. When properly
cooked eggs are done evenly through,
like any other food. This result may
be attained by putting the eggs into a
dish with cover, as a tin pan, and
then pouring upon them boiling water,
two quarts or more to a dozen eggs,
and cover and set away from the stove
for fifteen minutes. The heat of the
water cooks the eggs slowly, evenly
and sufficiently, and to a jelly like
consistency, leaving the centre or yolk
harder than the white, and the egg
tastes as much richer and nicer as a
fresh egg, and no person will want to
eat them boiled after having tried this
method once.

Remarkable Crons.

There seems something remarkable
III the way nature oftens turns out
crops for us, without our having any
. idea at all as general thing what she
IS about. There seems, for instance.
to be no doubt of tremendous corn
crop in the west, yet no one up to a
few weeks ago had the least idea that
such abundance was in store for us.
1t was growing all summer under our
eyes. We had no idea that ANYTHING
more than usual was favoring us. But
this is the end.
In this part of the world, and verv
common wherever German ideas of
farming prevails, pumpkins are plant
ed with corn. 1t is said to be bY some
writer's bad practice, as running the
ground too hard; for it is argued, how
can the ground support two crops at
the same time, corn and pumpkins?
But either the pumpkin does not feed
on the same elements the corn requires.
or it gets little of its nourishment
from the soil, drawing in perhaps some
from the atmosphere, at any rate it is
found by experience that there is no
diminution in the crop of corn that
can be raised, though good crop of
pumpkins be taken off at the same
time. 1t is not an important crop.
The pumpkins are simply fed to cows
and hogs, the cows particularly enjoy
ing them. Still they are useful aids,
and it is always agreeable to our far
mers to have a good crop Of them.
Some seasons they bear but little, and
we have known scarcely cart load to
be gathered from several acres of
ground. Now that corn is cut it is
interesting to note this year how ex-
tremely abundant they are. They
certainly never were thicker on the
ground. The same circumstances
that favor corn are evidently as good
for the pumpkin crop.
We never knew exactly what the
phrase "some pumpkins" meant, or
how it originated; but if in exclama-
ton after the corn was cut at the ire
mendous crop exhibited, such phrase
would correctly describe the present
condition of things. There are GER
tainly ''some pumpkins" now.-Ger-
aa0nt0wn Telegraph.

gloss and freshness Of yoatth. INN
hair is thickened, falling hair checka~
and badness often, though not alws
cured by its use. Nothing can resi-
the hair where the follicles are
stroyed, or the glands atrophied al
decayed; but such as remain can b
saved by this application, and stimns
lated into activity, so that new
growth of hair is produced. Instead
of foul:ng the hair with a pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray OF falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to the
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
ton of dandruff, which is often so un-
clearly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and inju-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. If wanted
merely for HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
