Sowing Flower seed.

Most varieties Gf seed nasy be sOwn
in the C1en border as soon as the
ground Is in good ordeT-ssy from the
tirst az April to the first of June. The
soil should be well pulyeTiZsG before
planting Most varieties are much
benefited by traCspiautinr. These
should be sOwn in cold frames OF
DurseTy beds, where special care can
he given them, aud when about three
10 five inches high transplsntsd to
their blooming quarters. By these
means the garden may be filed with
early flowers long before those sOwn
in the open border.
Other aBnuais, such as pOppies,
larkspurs, nignOnettes, esehsehOitzis,
should be sown in the place where
they are intended to bloom.
The seeds, such as portulsca, Pc
tunia, iObelia, etc. should always be
sOwn on the surface OF the soil and
merely pressed i1, aud then watered
with fine hnse. Care should. how
ever, be taken not 20 let the soil get
dry, or the seeds terminating will be
dried up and perish before the roots
have acquired sufficient strength TO
penetrate the soil to where it is moist.
This rule may be applied to all seeds.
The larger seeds should be covered
from One-eighth to one-fourth Of an
inch.
Many of the ANNALS, such IS migu-
onettes, pansies, IObelis, br0walla,
stocks, petunias, etc, IL sOwn ia sum-
mer or fall. are very attractive for
winter decoration in greenhouses and
eonssrvatOries. Fer this purpose
seeds may be sown in pots. A mix
ture of loan, leaf mold, and sand Is
most desirable, although a cold frame
in shady place, is preferable. When
the seeds are up air aud light should
be more freely admitted until they
are hardy enough To stand the sun.
When large enough transplant into
small pots, and into larger pots when
necessary. Place them near the glass
and admit air freely when the wealth

Kindness Rewarded.

: Kindness always pays. It may not
make regular semi-annual cash divi-
dends, but kind words and kind Rc-
tiOns are sure to turn up something
some day for the giver. This fact
was illustrated in Detroit not long
ago when q gentleman had a dog
stolen. The animal was returned
to him by q colOred man whom be
had once assisted, and half a dollar
changed hands. In the course OF
three or four days the animal was
stolen again, and again he was re-
turned bv the same man. Another
fifty cent shinplaster was charged TO
"profit and dog" and it was not until
the canine was returned the third
time by the same man thai suspicion
was aroused.
''See here, George, isn't this rather
singular ?" asked the owner.
81 dunno" answered the colOred
man
"Weil, ] think sO--very singular" !"
II tell you what, boss" said the
victim of suspicion, "yOu was mighty
kind to me once, and I hainit dun
forgot it. Dis isn't singular quite
yet, but If you pay me anodder fifty
cents and dat dog is missing agin dis
year it'll be powerful singular, and
I'll find him and not charge a cent ~

Spring Chicken.

A day or two since q gentleman of
this city-says the Virginia Enterprise
went into a restaurant for the purpose
of investing a portion of his Consol-
idated Virgins dividend in q dinner.
In ths window of the restaurant he
saw some California spriug chickens.
These chickens would weigh about
four ounces eaeh. Tney were prob
ably hatehed about the middle of last
December. Our rdinner-hunting friend
asked the price of the chickens, and
was told it WAS One-dollar and-I-half
each.
"Great Moses !" cried ne, "you don't
pretend to ask one -dOlllr-an Ia half
for such tomtit of chicken as
that ?p
81 can 10 help it, monsieur" said
the polite French proprietor OF the es-
tablishment, ''zs prize | pay for 2
sehieken is ver' larshe."
"You certainly cannot pay very
big price for a chicken of that size"
"Monsieur viii excuse me ven |
shall tell him Zat he is mistake. /
will show to monsieur re bill for zs
schicken. Produces the bill. What
does mousieur find zlre ?'
"WelI, I find that the chicken cost
you fifty cents apiece"
"Monsieur Il correct"
"And you ask me one-dOliar-and-a
half for one of them 81
"Again monsieur is cJrrect," and
the polite proprietor h1nOred HE Gus
toner with low bow
"Now, it strikes me that your price
is a little steep-s little too nigh.
Fifty cents ought to Dsy you very
well for cooking the chicken. Oue
dollar is aII you ought to get for the
chicken. That gives you big
profit.r
"A-ha Monsieur does thinK 50.
But zs freight? ? Monsieur viii pardon
me; but he does forget zs freight ~
and he elevated his shoulders till they
were on level with his ears.
The idea of freight on 4 fOur-ounee
chicken was too ridiculous to be con-
sidered, and our friend objected no
! further bat he ordered a chicken
and paid the price tnst was supposed
to cover freight oad all else in the
Way of cost.

have sunk so low that he can follow

cashier had stolen the entire capital.

was the iuquiry. A director sAid {:
"I can find you a young man that
you can trust. He is a true blue
CamerODisn Presbyterian. You can
trust him with uncOunted gold" The
young man was a teller in one of ths
city banks. He was elected cashier,
and began his herculean work. He
brought the stock up to 100, with none
in the market. He is now President,
with a salary Of S25, 900 a year. His
unbending integrity on three Ocea-
siOns saved the bunk from utter
