HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

At this season the Gala will be grow.
ing vigorously, and will need water more
abundantly. A saucer of water under
the Gala is relished by this plant. 1t is
sub'aquatic in its nature. Other plants
have saucers under them in order to
keep the water from dripping on tn:
floor, but tho water should not be al.
lowed to stand in them. The flower is
liable to the attacks of green fly, as in.
deed are many plants which grow in win
dows. There are many remedies which
gardeners use in greenhouses inapplica.
BILE in rooms. The best thing for the
room gardner is to take the pots to \
back kitchen, or, if not frosty. to the
open air, lay the pots on their sides and
syringe with warm soap suds.
A woman who raised large family
recommends housekeepers to take 4 good
quality Of unbleached cotton, run up the
breadths for top and lining of quilt, and
then color it with any cheap domestic
dye. such as japonica, annatto, white oak
bark, or any such thing. Quilt them
coarsely, and put more cotton batting in
than would be needed for ordinary bed
quilts. They will wear years longer
than ordinary new calico, and are espcc.
tally to be desired in large families of
boys. II desired, outside spreads may be
made Of more fanciful materials.
The cause Of streaked butter is the i'm
perfect working of the butter after it is
sailed. Salt in butter sets the color, or
deepens and brightens it; so if the salt is
worked into the butter and hot so fully
worked as to salt every part, then the
fresh butter retains the color it had
when it came from the churn, and the
salted butter grows so much darker that
it is decidedly streaked. The remedy is
to work the streaked butter more thor.
oughly.
The best receipt for CLOSED shirt bos-
oms is: Take two ounces Of fine gumar.
abic powder, pour on pint or more Of
water, and then, having covered it, let it
stand all night. In the morning pour it
carefully from the dregs into clean bot.
tie, and cork it for use. Add teaspoon.
full Of this gum water to pint of starch
made in the usual way.

Among the notable professional men of this
country who have achieved extraordinary sue.
cess is Dr.. r. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y. The
prominence which he has attained has been
reached through strictly legitimate means, and,
20 Tar, therefore, he deserves the enviable rep.
utation which he enjoys. This large measure
Of success is the result of thorough and care
full preparation for his calling, and extensive
reading during q long and unuasnlly large prac-
tice, which have enabled him to gain high
commentator, even from his professional,
brethren. Devoting his attention to certain
specialties ofthe science he has 90 carefully in
vestigsted, he has been rewarded in 4 re-
markable degree. In these specialties, he has
become recognized leader. Not = few ofthe
remedies prescribed by him have, it is said,
been adopted and prescribed by physicians in
their private practice. His pamphlets
and larger works have been received as use
full contributions to medical knowledge. He
has recently added another, and perhaps more
important work, because Of more general ap-
plication, to the list OF his published writings
The book entitled, 1.-THE Peoples Common
Sense Medical Adviser" is designed to enter
into general circulation. DR.. Pierce has re-
ceived Acknowledgements and honors from
many sources, and especially scientific degrees
from two Of the first medical institutions in the
land.

PAINTING GRASSES.

"A lady says In the Floral Cabinet: I
begin gathering tue grasses as soon as
mature, which is at different seasons. In
June, blue grass, wheat, oats, and other
grain and grasses, are in right condition,
and then all along until frost. As
gather the grasses and grain I have IN
old pan, pail, or box of sand in dark
place, and stick tho stcms--a few in =
place-in IN upright position in the sand.
In this way they do not dry too fast, re.
tain their color better, are more pl;able
and graceful than when dried any other
way. I leave them until I want the
room to place more; then remove them
to vases or some place, keeping their
heads up. When ready for painting,
procure i've cents worth each Of chrome
green. Paris green, Chinese or California
vermilion, and yellow ochre. Mix equal
parts linseed oil and turpentine, say one
gill each, in wide.mouthed vessel. I then
make little sieve of two thicknesses of
tar;eton sewed on piece Of wire bent in
: circular form, little loose or bagging
the middle. Take one or two pieces Of
grass, lay tho tops or parts to be painted
on an old plate or piece of tin. Gently
brush with the oil and turpentine with I
clean paint and varnish brush. Be care
full not to get too much on, but touch it
all. Then with the little sieve slit on the
desired color. Lay it on paper for the
busting the color on, SO as to catch all
the dry paint and prevent waste, as it can
be sifted on the next piece until used up.
Have the sand ready again to stick the
painted grasses in until dry, being care
ful not to let the different colo1s touch
until dry > then arrange to suit the taste,
mixing in =. good deal Of crystalized
grasses and grain, and if you do not
think them beautiful, write and let me
