A Greenland Home :.

Evening is the liveliest timc in the
Greenland hut. Then the bright
lamps are burning, the kettles and
pots(made of soapstone)all steaming
and boiling over each lamp, the wo-
man busily chatting attheir work
and half naked children running
about on the warm reindeer skins on
the ledge behind them. This is the
scene going on before us. The seal
hunter has just arrived homo from
after his days toll upon the sea, and
while he is hanging up his lines, his
waterproof gloves, and other paraph-
ernalia, piece of skin is drawn
forth from beneath the ledge and
spread before him. It's contents

THE Journal of Chemistry says !:
Persons travelling much by railway
are subject to continual annoyance
from the flying cinders. A very ef-
fectiye cure is within tho reach of
every one, and is simply one or two
grains OF flax seed. They may be
placed in the eye without injury or
pain to that delicate organ, and
shortly they begin to swell and form
a glntinous substance that covers the
ball Of the eye, enveloping any for.
eign substance thatmay be in it. The
irritation or cutting of the membrane
is thus prevented, and the annoyance
may soon be washed out. A dozen
of these grains slowed away in the
vest pocket may prove, in an emer.
gency, worth their weight in gold.

The Lilacs.

The lilac, various in array, now white,
Now sanguine, and her beauteous head now set
With purple spikes, pyramidal, as il
Studious Of ornament, yet unresolv'd
Which hues she most approval, she chose them
= all. ~ N&NE--Copper.
The lilac ID bloom, has, to many,
peculiar charm in early spring. It's
profusion of odorous flowers, with
their various and delicate tints and
the s'heart shaped leaves of rich
green" give delight wherever we
chance to see them; the shrub is in
deed worthy favorite with the rich
and the poor, and graces equally the
spacious park, garden, or cottage
dooryard. @ ~ e8 sYesa aSx Z
The lilac has for its generic name,
.Syringa, given by Linnmus. The
word means tube or pipe, and the
shrub is supposed to have been named
on account OF the Turks making pipes
from its branches. 1t was called the
pipe tree by the old herbalists in 1897,
although this name belonged to the
Philadelphus coronarius, known in
our gardens as the mock orange or
common syringa. The lilac was first
introduced into European gardens
from Constantinople toward the close
of the sixteenth century. It has been
asserted that it was originally from
Persia, yet it has been found indig.
enous to parts of Austria. I'LL
The schrub is propagated by layers
and suckers, which it produces in
great abundance. When cultivated
as tree, the numerous suckers are
removed as they appear from its base.
1t may then be developed into a
handsome form and grow to the
height of twenty feet. A poor soil
is most favorable for it's growth and
duration. 81. kEfG1G
One of our own poets has immor-
talized the lilac in connection with
the death, of Mr.. Lincoln. With "ev-
er-returning spring" the opening. lines
Of the "Burial Hymn" alluded to may
be recalled with mournful pleasurc:
When llacs last in the dooryard bloom'd,
And the great star early droop'd in the west
