The IHyRcinth.

The hyacinth is one of the most beauti-
tiful of winter or early spring towering,
bulbous-rooted plants. 1t is also ono of
the easiest bulbs to cultivate, and is espe-
cially adapted for house culture, growing
readily either in sand, moss, water or earth
in pots or glasses or baskets. Planting for
outdoor culture may commence early in
October and continue until the end of No
vember. For pots, glasses, vases, &C., in
the house they may be planted from the
middle of September until Christmas.
The hyacinth succeeds admirably in pots,
and perhaps affords more pleasure and
qualification than any other mode of Gull
ture, as they can he had in bloom at almost
any time desirable, in the winter season,
when flowers are scarce and consequently
more highly priced. A single bulb does
not require very large pot, one of four or
five inches in diameter will answer. We
prefer to plant three or four bulbs in a
larger pot, say one seven inches wide, Sc
lecting kinds which bloom at about the
same time. Use rich, sandy soil. One
composed of equal parts of surface soil
from the woods, old, fine, cow manure, and
sand is excellent; fill Ihe pots nearly full,
and press the bulb into it so that it will
be just covered, settle the surface evenly
by giving the pots a few gentle taps, and
finish by watering with a fine sprinkler,
sufficient to wet the soil thoroughly. AT
ter standing few hours, set the pots close
together in cool, dark cellar, and, if con-
venient, cover the whole 10 the depth of
four inches with light, sandy earth, such
as leaf soil from the woods, mixed with an
equal part of fine sand, or something SINH
lar, which may be at hand; this preserves
an even moisture 10 the whole, and keeps
the bulbs from lining when they COM
mence TO throw out their roots, which they
are apt to do when not covered and kept
firm in their places by The weight OF the
soil over them. When covered in this
manner they will not require any water
ing until they are taken out. In about five
or six weeks they will be 80 rooted that
few may be brought into a moderately
warm room for blooming, and at intervals
of ten or twelve days others may be intro
duced, and a succession of flowers thus
kept up during winter and spring. When
hyacinths are brought from the cellar,
keep them at first in a cool room, near the
| light, avoiding the fire heat as much as
possible. Supply them literally with wa
ter, and the growth will be stocky and Wig
orous, and the colors brilliant and lasting,
When grown in boxes, vases, &C., success
will result from similar treatment

some Advice About school Dress.

If there is one place more than another
where simplicity should characterize dress,
it is the schoolroom. The object for which
children are here gathered is certainly not
the display of the wealth or tenderness of
their parents. Anything which diverts the
attention of the pupil from his school du
ties is an injury to him, but 1t will accord
with the observation of teachers that fine
clothes oftener work mischief to their wear
err In this respect than mean clothes do.
The highest minded children are oftenest
found in plain garb, while those be-ringed
and be-rufIled and otherwise showily at
tired are generally quite destitute of intel
lectual home culture. Their mothers have
been too busy with their clothes 10 pay
much attention to their brains. This
sounds severe; would it were not true.
While over-attenlion to toilet matters is q
hindrance 10 study, negligence and untidi-
ness are as carefully TO be avoided. Clean
clothes, plainly made, need not be expen-
sive, either of time or money, and proper
regard to personal cleanliness in all its de-
tails is what every person owes to himself
or his associates. 1t is very desirable that
the pupil should have at least two school
suits, for in the crowded schoolroom the
clothing soon becomes saturated with the
exhalations floating in tho atmosphere, and
an airing of the clothes every two or three
days is necessary TO keep them fresh and
sweet.
Especially is this true of clothes that are
not put into the washtub and of shoes.
Wearing these after days summing and
airing will give one sensation almost as
pleasant as that of putting on new clothes.
AS rule, the more simply child is dress
ed the more attractive it is to all sensible
people. The bewildering maze of ruffling
and embroidery and knife plating and
shirring and great, broad, brown sash, big
enough to shroud the child in, with which
little girls and boys in kits are dressed, is
simply shocking TO people of correct taste.
Let us not have it in the schoolroom.

"A private letter from London to Bos-
ton says Rev. Ezra d. Winslow, the forger,
is still living near the Strand, and occa-
sionslly visits Bowles's American ex-
change. He has grown his beard and
looks like his former self, but evidently
feels his lost position acutely, and says his
mental sufferings in prison were terrible.
Near Utica, N. Y, on Wednesday, sth
inst, four young girls were on railroad
trestle bridge when train came suddenly
upon them. Two Of the girls, Helen Hicks
and Lena Hazard, jumped and saved them
selves. Miss Julia Hazard made brave
and desperate effort to save Nettie Hicks
by pulling her off the trestle, but failed.
Julia then dropped through an opening in
to the stream, miraculously escaping death,
as the engine struck her head as she drop
ped, taking of her hat and comb, and max
ing a slight. scalp wound. Little Nettie's
head was completely severed from her
body and crushed beyond recognition. She
was nine years old. The girls had been
hunting for beecbnuts.

ment that 1t really becomes food. Extreme
hunger may enable us 10 dispense with
them, as it may compel us TO devour what
at other times would be disgusting, but
under ordinary circumstances they are an
essential part of our diet. Condiments
have an important influence upon the pro-
cesses OF digestion and nutrition. The
mere sight or thought of savory dish
"makes the mouth water,"-that is, 1t
makes the salivary glands pour out their
secretion copiously, which is an important
stage in digestion, especially for certain
articles of food. Experiments made upon
dogs show that a similar effect is produced
upon the gastric secretion, and thus the
work OF digestion Is further promoted. The
loss of the sense of taste would be not
merely a loss of enjoyment, but positive
injury TO the digestive system. The very
smell of food may do us good, just as GER
tain edors will restore person who has
tainted. 1t does not follow because condi-
mems are useful, that we may not have too
much of them; on the contrary, their best
effect depends upon their being used in
moderation. The more decided the flavor
of any article of food, the sooner does it
pail upon the appetite. 1t is one Of the Pc
culiar merits of French cookery that fla
vors are so delicately blended; no one is
specially prominent, and yet by their diff
ferent combinations a wonderful variety
of appetizlng effects is produced. We Yam
KEGS, like the English, are apt 10 use con-
diments in coarse, reckless way, and thus
besides losing much Of the benefit that
might be derived from them. BY nicer
care in their employment, the plainest and
simplest diet might be made at once more
delicious and more igestible.-BoSton
