The Red Snider.

Amateurs who are troubled with tla
red spider upon their fucllias and Won
der, without satisfaction, as to the cause
OF the dropping of the leaves, will find
some consolation in this advice of the
American Farmer: IF they look on
the ouJsiue on tIIe IedveS Carefuiiy, Wnen
the nrst signs of distress are noticed,
they might discover the cause in the
shape of almost irfinitessimal insects,
called red spiders, which suck the juices
entirely out of the leaves of plants upon
which they are allowed to remain. They
increase very fast in high temperature
and dry atmosphere. The remedy is
clear water forcibly applied to the foil
age, more particularly to the under side,
as often as necessary. Syringe plants
freely in the morning before the sun
shines upon them, and in the evening
after the sun has gone off them. Clear
water and the syringe are great aids in
Horticulture" Some recommend tobac-
co smoke, but unless great care is ex-
ercised its use involves danger, and
those not accustomed to its use are al
most certain to injure the plants at the
first trial. A small amount of carbolic
soap in the winter will help very much,
but too much should not be allowed to
fall upon the earth in the pot.

The PhOsphOrescence of the Ocean.

From the Tedesco rocks on the outer
point at Swampscott, recently, there
was scene of awful sublimity, says a
letter written in the Boston Transcript.
A heavy surf during the Gay had been
rolling in upon the beach, and breaking
with magnificent effect upon the rocks,
while the broad eXpanse of the ocean
was white with the foam of a million
caps which were dashed into spray by
Une gaze. as the nIgnE came on ana
deepened, the wonderful phosphores-
cent light, far more brilliant than any
thing ever seen upon our shores, was
displayed in a pageant of indescribable
beauty. AS far as the eye could reach
along this rocky coast the breaking surf
was turned to molten silver, and then
to deepest emerald, and then to the mi
nate sparkling fires one sees flashing
from a coronet of diamonds in artificial
light. 1t was sea of glittering gems.
The crest of every wave was line of
massive silver, and the seething waters,
changing from palest blue to most bril-
liant green, emitted a light which
cleaned upon rock and grass, and was
reflected upon the clouds above. At
midnight, at the full tide, the splendor
of the scene was beyond words. Wave
after wave broke upon the line of rocks,
showing wall of colored fire. forty,
and at times even fifty feet in height,
the ocean seemed ahame. The crest of
every wave was a corruscation of gems
sparkling with more than rainbow hues.
The intensity Of color, all luminous
with phosphorescent fire, was far more
wonderful than that produced by any
mechanical chemistry.

Singing in the Family.

Cultivate singing in the family. Be-
gin when the child is not yet three years
old. The songs and hymns your moth
er sang, bring them all back to your
memory, and teach them to your little
ones; mix them all together, to meet the
similar moods, as in after life they cc-1e
over us so mysteriously sometimes.
Many time and oft in the very
whirl of business, in the sunshine
and gayety of the streets and
amid the splendor of the drives in
park. some little thing wakes up the
memories of early youth-the old mill,
the cool spring, the shady tree by the
little chool-house-and the next in
slant we almost see again the ruddy
cheeks, the smiling faces and the merry
eyes of schoolmates, some gray-headed
now, most ''lie mouldering in the
grave" And "the song your mother
sang" springs unbidden to the lips, and
soothes and swetens all these memo
ries.
At other times amid the crushing
mishaps of business, merry ditty of
the olden time pops up its little head,
breaks in upon the ugly train Of
thought, throws the mind into another
channel; light breaks in from behind the
cloud in the sky, and new courage is
given to us. The honest man goes
singing to his work, and when the day s
labor is done, his tools laid aside, and
he is on his way home where wife and
child, and tidy table, and cheerful fire.

Wintering Roses.

Perhaps our plan of wintering roses
says writer in the Philadelphia Times,
may be useful to some other amateur.
l had hot-bed frame net in use, and
after loosing my roses in the house
year after year, l concluded to impro-
wise small cold-pit. sank in the
ground very large dry-goods box,
over it l placed a hot-bed frame and
sash, put the potted roses in the box,
and the thing was done. AS the cold
grew intense, / drew up earth around
the sides of the frame, and covered the
sash with an old piece Of carpet, and
did not then see the roses until spring,
when they were we'll watered, the car
pet removed, and the plants left under
the sash for two or three weeks before
removing. have practiced this meth
cd for three or four winters, and with
perfect success. The plants fairly jump
when the sun strikes them in the spring
and they are in healthy growing coh-
dition when transplant to the border.

A Chcan CONSERVATORY.

Many people of modest means would
be glad to have more house plants than
they have room for indoors, and yet can
i'll afford the expense Or care Of a green
house. To such we would suggest to
build out from the south side of the par
lor or sitting room glass structure
about eight feet square, with double
windows, SO arranged as to be entirely
removed In summer, when a canvas
awning should take the place of the
glass upon the framework, and will
form an agreeable shelter from the sun
in summer.
1t should be entered from the sitting
room by long window reaching the
floor and shutting tight; this will be
closed when smoking the plants to kill
insects, or sweeping the sitting room;
at other times it will be kept open to
warm the conservatory by the heat OF
the stove in the sitting room. This
heat will be enough for the health of
most plants except in very severe windy
nights, when a small oil stove should
be kept burning in the conservatory,
which will cost only two cents per hour,
and will only be needed for fewnights
in the winter.
If the house is heated by furnace in
the cellar, it may be quite easy to carry
hot-air pipe into the conservatory, or
steam-pipe; and if the house is sup
piled with water, hose should be pro-
v1ded to reach the conservatory, so as
to give the plants frequent sprink-
ling, which will greatly improve their
health, and will give pleasant and
healthful moisture to the air in the sit
ting room.
Persons unfamiliar with greenhouses
will be astonished to see how much
more healthily plants will grow in a
place like this than in an ordinary sit
ting-room, the air of which is too dry
and dusty for vegetable life to endure.
The temperature of the sitting room is
also too hot for the health of most
plants.-Ploughnan.

Bucharest.

The city is environed on nearly every
side by low hills, which afford 1t some
shelter from the piercing blasts of De-
cember and january that sweep down
upon it from the frozen Russian steppes
and from the lofty Carpathian range.
The roads are miserably paved with
round stones, where anything of the
kind has been attempted; and, as they
slant toward the middle of the pave
ment, an ample gutter is always pro-
vided, of which the neighbors are not
slow to avail themselves.
Bucharest is nothing more than an
accumulation of villages grouped each
round its own church, from which the
spot takes its name. The dwelling
houses are usually one-storied. as space
is of little Importance and earthquakes
are not infrequent. Those of the more
notable inhabitants are large, and pos
sesS sometimes as many as ten salons
opening one into the other. They are
splendidly furnished, everything being
at hand that the most fastidious could
desire, with only bathroom, perhaps,
conspicuous by its absence. The walls
are solid and enormously thick, as they
have a double duty to serve, that of
shutting out excessive heat and the
most biting cold-for nature favors the
inhabitants of the Principalities with
an Italian summer and Russian win
ter. 1t is climate of extremes.
The town is amply provided with
promenades. parks, and public gardens.
The "Chaussee, the grand promenade,
lies to the north, and is the beginning
of the road leading to the Carpathians,
which, though about eighty miles dis
tant, may be distinctly seen therefrom.
Day after day magnificent equipages
and beautifully appointed sledges. filled
with hosts of well-dressed people, may
be noticed at different hours, according
to the time of the year, coursing up and
down ,>or remaining stationary in lines
beneath the rows of trees by which the
road is bordered. Driving is indeed
the favorite amusement of the towns
people, and many gallant four-in-hand
drag and light mail-phaeton, conducted
by some dashing officer in the red uni
form of the Rouman cavalry, lend a
new animation to the scene. Here,
too, many a distinguished beauty, in
all the bravery of velvets, satins, and
lace, designs to display her peerless
charms before the differing throng.

What is Life?

The mere lapse Of years is not life,
To eat and drink and sleep-to be ex-
posed to the darkness and to light-tG
pace round in the mill of habit and
turn thought into an implement of
trade-this is not life. In all this but a
r>Oor fraction Of the consciousness Of
humanity is awkened, and the sancti-
ties still slumber which make it worth
while to be. knowledge, truth, love,
beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give
vitality TO the mechanism of existence.
The laugh of mirth that vibrates
through the heart-the tears that fresh
en- the dry wastes within, the music
that brings childhood back-the prayer
that calls the future near-the doubt
that makes US meditate-the death
that startles us with mystery-the hard
ship that forces us to struggle-the anx-
iety that ends in trust-are the true
nourishment of our natural being.

The Science Of Play.

The disposition to sportiye exercise
shown by nearly all young animals is
not altogether the result of a mere aim
| less exuberance of spirits. Of the pur-
pose of this natural instinct the Seien-
tltic American has this to say:
Play is an instructive faculty, inhe
rent in all animals. It is as much an
instinct as the desire to seek food when
hungry; and to regard it as mere aim
less and tritiing species of exertion is
total mistake. The gambols of child
emerging from babyhood, or of a kitten,
are due to precisely similar reasons. At
this period of life the purpose of play in
man and brute is the same; in after
years the difference vastly widens
through the Introduction of the intel
lectual element in the actions of the
child, and of course its total absence in
those of the brute. The games and
playthings of youth are not those of
childhood; but the play of an old dog
though more rarely Occurring-iS new
ertheless the same as that of a young
puppy. The object of play in young
life is exercise. It is the peculiar exer-
else which Nature prompts the organ
ism to undertake; and it may be said
that it is the only possible form of ex-
ercise which is at once attended by
pleasure, and is able to mould the frame
of the growing animal in the direction
of its perfect development. Its antith-
esis is task work, which, though it may
not involve one tithe the exertion, new.
ertheless passes quickly into fatigue.
and thus results in straining some mus
cles unduly' while others are left COM
paratively undeveloped. In play alone,
the instructive sense of physical need
gets full scope; its spontaneity and aim
lessness are therefore only apparent,
and It's nature and amount are deter
mined by the sense of pleasure in the
exercise itself; while Oh the other hand,
strictly natural limit is imposed on
all undue exertion by obedience to the
sense Of fatigue. The result is an equa-
BILE and harmonious development of
muscular energy and nutrition in every
muscle and fiber; and it is one attaina-
BILE in no other way-certainly not by
any prescribed routine of exertion-or
save by obeying natural instinct.

Employment for Boys.

| The extract from a leading paper
and accompanying remarks, which we
| give below, contain truths which are
worthy of reflection. The conditions
alluded to have, as we believe, their
foundation in that lack of thorough
| ness, and desire for accumulation with
out persistent painstaking effort, which
is the spirit of the age. That this does
not tend to developing conscientious
| and patient effort among the young in
acquiring knowledge in trades is appa-
| rent. Says the article alluded to:
There is a very general complaint
| that it is becoming more and more diff
| f1cult to find desirable occupation for
boys. In all the vast industrial and
| commercial machinery of the country
| tmle seems to be no space for the lads
who must shortly be the men of another
generation. There was a time when
boys were regularly apprenticed at me-
| chanical trades or in mercantile houses.
They served five or seven years in the
shop, store, or counting-house, and rose
by slow degrees to be partners, heads of
houses, or independent masters in their
| own line of life."
The complaint is that it is almost i'm
possible to find an opportunity for boy
to learn trade. They can be. at times,
| provided with places where t.ey can
work at various odd jobs, dc errands,
and the light work about ia tory, but
| to give them trade is very different
matter. The truth il, the boy of to-day
has expensive tastes. he wants to make
| money at once, and is not particular
about earning it. No employer is will
| ing to take an apprentice who will not
work long enough for him to repay the
cost Of teaching, and give some margin
beside. On the part Of the boy there is
the desire to get just enough knowledge
| to enable him to set up as a journey
| man, and this ne will do at the earliest
possible moment, regardless of the fact
that his first employer has not been half
repaid for broken tools and spoiled work
ee VII OSS VA ealS
Knowing that this will probably be the
case, the employer wishes to teach just
as little as possible, and get the utmost
work out of the boy. There are fire.
quent instances where boys have been
taken as apprentices to learn trades.
and in the course Of six months have
| cost their employers three or four hun
dred dollars in spoiled tools and work,
during which time the actual services
rendered amounted to less than the
small wages paid them; yet these boys,
within ayear and a halt, ,havingpicked up
knowledge enough of the trade to pass
as journeymen, have gone off to other
shops, and left the men to whom they
were indebted for their trades utterly

King Kalakua said to a correspon

King Kalakua said to a correspOn-
dent of the San Francisco Chronicle:
1.-The labor question of this kingdom is
of serious import. Owing to the de-
crease of the native population, en-
ployers have been compelled to resort
TO such labor markets as were open to
them. If it were possible to procure
Polynesian laborers, they would be
welcomed by the Hawaiian people, be-
cause they are of the same race and
blood as ourselves. My government
has been ceaselessly active III trying TO
procure congenial emigration to the
kingdom, and if the success has not
been equal to the wishes, the efforts
were laudable and noble. l wish my
race to live and perpetuate themselves.
l wish to see the old native legend
about the children playing along the
highways practically realized. l wish
to see realized the old legend about
the old men and the old women rejoie-
ing over the pride of the young man.
hood and the young womanhood of the
nation. If fate means to blot out OF
existence the Hawaiian race, l shall
war against fate to the last hour. No.
we must not perish"

He took it all in an instant, the slip

They bore her to the prison, as it was
the only place at hand, and she kept
mourning:
81 want Pamilla."
They placed her on cot. A doctor
was called.
"She is dying, he said at once. "Who
is it she wants?"
"Pamilla-Pamilla Hyatt-my cou-
sin,' she cried feebly.
The light of reason seemed to be
coming to the eyes that had been so
vacant.
''Send for her.; said Philip, hoarsely,
his heart leaping with sudden hope.
Was his faith to be rewarded at last?
| The warden consented that Pamilla
should come, considering the circum-
! stances.
One cry came from the accused wo-
mans lips as she saw the form m the
| cot.
"Allie-Allie!" 1t was.
Eyes, it is Allie," whiss cred the dying
one, smiling fintly. "Come here. l
want to tell you. I understood it all
to-day-how good you have been. /

weeping violently.

she walled. "How | have pitied youl
