Drying Flowers in Sand.

THERE are many of our brilliant
flowers, such as dahlias, pansies, pinks,
geraniums, sweet Williams, carnations,
gladioli, which may be preserved 50 as
to retain their color for years. White
flowers will not answer as well for this
purpose; nor any succulent plant, as
hyacinths or cactus. Take deep dishes,
of sufficient depth to allow the flowers
to be covered an inch deep with sand;
get the common white sand, such as Is
used for securing purposes, cover the
bottom of the dish with layer half an
inch deep, and then lay in the flowers,
with the stems downward, holding them
firmly in place while you sprinkle more
sand over them, until all the places be-
tween the petals are filled and the flow
ers are buried out of sight. A broad
dish will accommodate quite large
number, and allow sufficient sand be-
tween. Set the dish in a dry, warm
place, where they will dry gradually, and
at the end of a week pour off the sand
and examine them; if there is any moist
ure in the sand it must be dried before
using again, or fresh sand may be
poured over them the same as before.
Some flowers will require weeks to dry,
while others will become sufficiently
dry to put away in a week or ten days.
By this simple process flowers, ferns,
ETC., are preserved in their proper
shape, as well as in their proper color,
which is a far better way than to press
them in books. When arranged in
groups and mounted on cards, or in
little straw baskets, they may be placed
in frames or under glass.-Floral Cab.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

0ften.-Ios0a State Register.
The best insect destroyer, according
to the Journal Of Chemistry, is alum
water. Put the alum in hot water and
let it boil until it is entirely dissolved,
then apply it hot with a brush to all
cracks, closets, bedsteads and other
places infected by insects. It is certain
death to ants, bedbugs, reaches and id
genus onsssc, while there is no danger in
using it Of poisoning any of the family
or injuring property.
CRAB-APPLE JAM. = Weigh equal
quantities of the large-sized crab and
white sugar. Cut the apple in halves,
remove the cores, and stew them soft.
Then add the sugar, and few pieces
of white ginger root, and boil the jam
until it looks soft. Before adding the
sugar, the jam should be rubbed through
a colander or sieve, to remove the skins.
If preferred, the apples can be pared,
and the straining Of the jam omitted.
Apple-jam thus prepared, and kept
tightly sealed up, makes most toothsome
tarts in the spring, when apples are not
easily to be obtained.
GRAPE JAM.-Stem T7pe grapes;
wash, and weigh them; allow half a
pound of fruit. Push the pulp from
the grape skins into a bright tin pan;
put the skins in the preserving kettle.
Heat the pulp until the seeds are loos-
ened, then strain through colander to
remove them. Turn the strained pulp
into the kettle with the skins, and boil
all together for half an hour; then add
the sugar and boil half an hour longer.
Put boiling hot into glass jars and seal
so as to make them perfectly air tight.
If you wish simply to can them, add a
little less sugar and cook only half an
hour altogether. Prepared in either
manner they are delicious.
GREEN GRAPE JELLY.-Crush the
grapes and heat slowly until the juice
begins to run, then boil until tender.
Drain over night as directed; measure
the liquid and allow a pound of sugar
for each pint of juice-full weight.
Boil the liquid briskly for twenty min
utes. When we say boil we do not
mean simmer; it must actually boil
then add the sugar, boil for FIVE min
utes to make all sure, and turn into
glasses. This will be beautiful am
ber-colored jelly, quite tart, and an ex-
cellent accompaniment to meats. II
green wild grapes are used, gather
them before frost, and allow a pound
and quarter of sugar for each pint Of
juice. If the wild grapes are used after
after ripening they will need no extra
sugar. Cultivated grapes that are NOT
quite ripe make a very nice jelly
dark colored and swecter than when
used green; for these make the weight
of sugar little scant.-Prairie Farmer.

The Luxurious Russian Staff.

The chief Russian Generals and their
staff do not keep well enough to the
front to be thoroughly informed of
what is actually going on at any par
ticular moment. This is not the result
of any desire to avoid danger, but pro-
ceeds simply from unwieldiness and
not being accustomed to move on horse
back. There are too many .easy-car-
riages around the different headquar-
tiers. A stranger visiting the armies in
Bulgaria would naturally conclude that
there was an Emperor with. each army
corps.
All this prevents that freedom of ac-
ton which should characterize a gem
eral staff, who do all the hard work,
while the rest are generally ornamental.
The Russian field and line are good
enough for any purposes desired; but
the staff departments need most
trenchant reconstruction. At Lovatz
there was a different state of affairs.
Everything was pushed up and held
well in hand, and the consequence was
that very strong position, bravely de-
Tended, was captured with compara-
lively small loss. know it is an UNI
popular task to attack the staff depart
ments, to which the correspondent has
to look for favors; but Justice demands
that the brave and efficient line, which
is generally frowned upon by the gor-
geOus stats of an army, should be
properly placed before the world, and
the blame laid where it justly belongs
upon the gay and unstained uniforms
of the chief staff officers of the Rus
sian Army. Individually they are brave
fellows, but the system of discipline is
lax. Luxury, comparatively speaking,
reigns where there should be stern
realities, and the result is inefficiency
in time of action.
The consequence of the unwieldiness
of the general staff is that staff officers
do not accompany the various bodies
of troops sent on special missions and
return at intervals to report from actual
observation the progress of affairs; and,
therefore, there is a want of that CEN
trail direction which can only be at
tanned by a numerous, mobile and ex-
perienced staff, which would act like SO
many fingers moving the pieces on the
chess-board of battle, with the COM
manding-General as the wrists of the
Observation-Disclosures Cor. London

The authorities at st. John, in the
Province of Quebec, don't know how to
take a joke. Julien Duquett, of that
village, informed various parties that
he had set fire to certain houses there
and at Montreal. When he was arrest
ed he explained that he was only in fun,
yet SO obtuse was the presiding Justice
that he could not appreciate this ele-
vated and refined style of humor, and
now Julien languishes inprison, just as
if he caused the fire at the other st. John.
