responsibility of Dealer in Seeds.

Complaints against dealers IN seeds
ore more or less frequent every year, and
are generally reasonable and Just.
Sometimes the seeds prove to be worth
1ess because they do not germinate or
tbe percentage of live seed is so small
that the crop fails, sometimes they are
not true to name or variety, and at other
times they contain u large admixture of
tbn seeds of nOxious weeds. A com
,,Ioint of the last named character came
Under our observation recently, which
had occasioned serious damage to the
purchaser. The laws in several of the
States define the responsibility of deal
ers in seeds in such cases, and a remedy
consists in enforcing their provisions
AGAINST those who are amenable for vio-
Iations of such enactments. 1t is true
that seedsmen themselves are sometimes
imposed upon, but this does not lessen
their responsibility, and if they sell seeds
TO farmers and gardeners that are worth
less or foul they should be made to make
GOOD the losses of the purchasers.
The evil was of such magnitude at one
time in New York and New Jersey that
exceedingly stringent regulations were
nlaced on the statute books of those
States. Cases have been decided under
them in which dealers in seeds have been
held responsible not only for the growth
of the seeds sold, but also for their pro-
duction. The seeds must not only germi-
nate, they must produce good crop.
This, however, would be manifestly un-
lust, for the fault of producing good
crop may be in the soil in which the
seeds we're planted. The object sought
in the enactment of laws upon this sub
iect is to protect buyers against the Grim
nal intentions or neglect of dishonest
seedsmen, and to cause all dealers in
seeds to exercise a rigid scrutiny and
the closet diligence in the choice of the
seeds they offer for sale.

sun was approaching and about to pour

A Stage Secret.

Many Of our readers have been not a
little surprised at the intelligence Of
dogs trained for the circus ring and the
stage. A correspondent of the Hlas-
tTdted Weekly lets us into the secret of
this training. 1t says that when George
Fox and Lingard separated, and Fox
took the Old Bowery, the New Bowery
had celebrated dog star, who, with a
couple OF trained dogs for a whole
month played ''The Dog of Montargis''
to a very good business. This reused a
wild ambition in Fox's breast to do dogs
also. Tom Corny, the best trained dog,
had recently died, and the man at the
Bowery had the only educated beasts in
the business. However, ignorance at
tempts and achieves a great deal some
times. The present historian proposed
what should be called 1.-The Beefsteak
Drama" A new play should be writ
ten, in itself an attraction, called "Jack
Shepard and his Dog" "Jaek'' was a
tower of strength in the Bowerv with
out dog; with one, the new theatre
stood no chance.
Two splendid black Newfoundlands
were secured. One, belonging to fire
company, had fair canine education
would fetch and carry; but dog No.2
was an ignoramus, and used only as
double.
The eventful evening came. The fire
laddie had had neither dinner nor sup
per, but was peculiarly susceptible to
the seductions of raw steak. 1t seemed
as if young meat market was started
on the old Bowery stage. Bits of steak
were wired on all articles designated to
attract the artists attention. twas re-
quired that the dog should fly from the
wings, up fight of steps, ring bell,
seize lantern from the hand of the per-
son answering the door, and then bound
of, followed by the actor
Caesar was held ina wing while George
Fox at the door up the steps frantieally
waved porterhouse steak. C@sar's at
tention being called, he promptly
rushed to his friend, who as promptly
shut the door in his face. Cesar got
smell of the chunk wired upon the bell
pull, and gave q savage snap at that,
which rung the bell violently. Some
one appeared with the lantern, showing
Caesar q mouthful of beef conspicuously
wired upon its handle. He went for It
then and there. Meanwhile George had
got round to the opposite side with
sirloin; which he danced and shook as
q matadore does his red rag in the face
Of q bull. Cesar straightway rushed
for this promising lunch.
In this way he seized papers which
the villain OF the play was Boosting pos
session Of; he took the whole seat Of
pair of pants of Fox, who had a sirloin
neatly sewed upon them; and finally, as
the minister Of vengeance, he was Crap
pied with by the villain; rolled over
and over to the wings, where the green
dog, who was match in size and looks,
was muzzled to padded neckcloth.

New York Fashion Notes.
IFrom the Danbury News.l

From the Danbury News.l
CRIMSON is a color at present in favor.
A REVIVAL of the Byron collar is again
attempted.
New braids for trimming are embroi-
dered with birds, flowers, etc.
SILK embroidery on cashmere, silk or
muslin continues to be fashionable.
The fringes most used for trimming
woolen dresses are the Figaro, Moorish
and Castilian.
For full wrap, a popular pattern is
one made like a cape in the back, and
fichu in front having the ends tied.
A QUEEN of Spain first introduced the
fashion of wearing hoops. With her it
was to conceal the deformity of unequal
hips.
WITH dark blue and brown percale
underdresses are worn overdresses of
checked or figured blue, or brown and
white.
A NEW fancy is to have a dress of
striped or plaided beige, trimmed with
black silk founces pinked or notched on
the edge.
RED and blue isa stunning" combi-
nation now popular in Paris. Blue
dresses striped with red-the two colors
in the national 1ag-are imported here
as we'll.
A HoUsE-DREss for wear in the autumn
has an underskirt of navy-blue cashmere
and white cashmere overdress sprigged
with blue. Red ribbons are worn with
the dress.
The polonaise and the basque and over
skirt are both in favor, the former being
considered particularly desirable for
large, stout figures, and the latter for
more slender forms.
PERSONS whose hands become very
moist when encased in kid gloves, will
be little troubled with this annoyance if
they rub their hands with cologne water
Just before putting them on.
SoMR novel dresses Of French impor-
tation are trimmed with fringe, the color
of which is In violent contrast with the
rest Of the dress. These gay combina-
tions are not, however, permissible for
street wear.
SOAP, bark and water is q most excel
lent preparation for cleansing any black
material. Black silk is very much fresh
ened by its application. The material
must be thoroughly rubbed and left to
dry without the use Of an iron.
SHORT walking dresses are longed for
by ladies who indulge much in that ex-
ercise, and revival Of this comfortable
fashion is looked forward to during the
coming winter. A few sensible and yet
fashionable people made an endeavor to
recall this style Of street dress last sea-
son, but with little success.
EACH of the prominent nrodistes has a
different way Of fitting the dress waist,
and therefore we have several styles
equally popular. Pingat has numerous
seams in the back to make it fitas snugly
as a corset. Worth has three seams,
and La Ferrierre has but one, with the
seam under the arm placed further to-
ward the back.
THE movements of a fan for the car
rying on of hirtation have the follow
ing signifcations: When held down
wards it means the person is an unmar-
ried lady. If presented with the little
end first it means indifference, but if
with three compartments open " love
you" is implied. One left open signi-
fies merely friendship. When the fan
touches the breast and taps it lightly an
invitation to firt is the meaning.

THE WARM BATH.-Many erroneous
notions prevail respecting the use and
properties of the warm bath. To many
persons, the idea of submersion in warm
water, on a Summers day, would be
preposterous. But if it be nationally
considered, it will be found that the
warm bath may be taken with equal,
or perhaps greater benefit in the Sum
mer than in the Winter. During hot
weather the secretions in the skin are
much increased in quantity, and conse-
quently greater necessity exists that it
should be kept perfectly free from OBJ
structions. Another prevailing error
respecting the warm bath is, that it
tends to relax and enerYate the body,
for experience has sufficiently proved
the fallacy of the opinion. and many
physicians have prescribed the use to
patients laboring under debility from
disease, none of whom experience such
effect, but have all felt invigorated, and
mostly restored to health and strength.
Many persons are deferred from using
the bath, especially in Winter, from the
fear of catching cold; but this fear is
groundless, for it has been found that
the warm bath, by increasing the circu-
lation on the surface of the body, rem
ders it more capable of withstanding
the effects Of cold than it otherwise
would have been.

A CURE FOR OBRsITY.-M. NJ. Griffith,
Of Wyoming, Del, writes to the Balti-
more American, stating that an infusion
OF q species Of seaweed, commonly
known in Delaware as gulf-weed, "
has the peculiar property Of reducing
adipose tissue in the human frame with
out iniuring the stomach. No care need
be taken in regard to the amount Of the
infusion the patient drinks. DR.. Griffith
first noticed the effects Of it upon per
son who took it for the cure Of skin
disease, and found that it diminished
his excessive weight considerably. he
then took it himself, taking no other
drinks, and in the course of few weeks
his own corpulence had greatly sub
sided. He then tried it on three stout
neighbors, who lost from twelve to
thirty pounds within periods ranging
from two to three months. DR.. Griffith
says that great care should be taken in
collecting the weed. 1t acts by the alb
sorption Of the adipose tissue, and les
sens the secretons from the oily, sudor-
ferrous glands.

TRANsPLANTINd OF TREEs.-It some
times occurs that it becomes necessary
TO transplant trees late in the season, or
after the buds have swelled or new
growth commenced. This can be done
quite safely if due caution is used in
protecting the roots from light and air.
In removing trees or small shrubs
after growth has commenced, we have
watering pot full of water near by,
and as soon as the tree is dug up, the
roots are re-sprinkled until every one
Is thoroughly wet (; then fine earth is
scattered over all the large roots and
small hbers, thus preventing them from
being affected by the light, as well
as becoming dry while being packed up
or removed from one part Of the egrounds
70 another. A portion Of the branches
IS also removed, and usually it is best
to do this before digging up, because
the pruning can be done much more
Systematically and readily while the tree
IS fixed in the earth than afterward;
besides, it lessons evaporation in pro-
portion to the number Of young shoots
and leaves removed. Trees and schrubs
OF moderate size may be removed quite
safely, even after growth has commenced
IN spring, if these precautionary meas
ures are strictly followed. Where trees
nave boen heeled in until growth has
commenced, the roots may be puddled
as taken out-thatis, dipped into a solu-
uon OF earth and water of the consistency
Of thin mortar. This should always be
done when trees are to be set out in q

The Horses FOro-feet.

The foot should be neither large nor
small, but of neat appearance, and me-
dunn size. We are no friend to the
large fat foot, but regard this forma-
ton as q very undesirable one. 1t sug-
gests to one that the companion bones
Of the skeleton of which it is part, are
likewise soft an6porous.
It il not the large, hat-footed man
that can walk the farthest or leap the
highest; and the spryest aud swiftest
footed animals in the world have small,
upright horny hoofs. The chamois,
antelope, red deer, and wild horses, all
have this formation Of the feet. The
mule has hoof which many horsemen
would call contracted, yet whoever saw
q mule lame in the foot? Our idea Is
that q medium sized and neatly pro-
portioned foot is as good q sign in the
horse as in the man. A foot that is
either exceedingly large or quite small
is suggestive of disease in the internal
structure of the foot. The great hue
and cry about a wide, open heel is q
humbug. The heels that never look
that way are those Of q Morgan or
French horse, both OF which are noted
for foot soundness. We do not remem-
Der ever TO have seen an unsound foot
under a Canadian horse; and yet the
hoof of Canadian horse is invariably
upright, nearly circular. mule-shaped.
We commend these suggestions to those
who are forever crying CONTRACTED
feet" against horse, unless he has a
foot large and fiat as an old-fashioned
frying pan.-Golden Rule.

door were tried, but silence prevailed
