Frenchman named Duevarre; in 1857,
reversed their views, and his opinion was
adopted by botanists. Practical garden
ers, however, have. never been converted,
and they freely syringe their plants un-
der certain conditions, and now the Rev.
| Mr.. Denslow in England has, after many
experiments, concluded that dew is not
absorbed at night but that absorption
takes place at sunrise, when Transportation
is begun, and the water on the leaves is
sucked.

| For an easy chair to be perfect it
ought not only to provide for complete
relaxation of the muscles, for hexion and
consequent laxity of the joints, out also
for the easy return of blood and lymph;
not merely by the posture of the limbs
themselves, but by equable support and
| pressure against as great surface of the
limbs as possible Such are the theoret-
ical demands, and those are fulfilled by
the bambo easy chairs manufactured in
India, made in the shape OF a Struggling

a relaxing climate has taught the natives
Of India to make, and which the rest of
the world appreciates.
1t is we'll known fact to medical men
that there exists a. great prejudice among
a large number Of people against taking
qulnine, the idea being very prevalent
that a prolonged use Of it not only effects
the hearing, but TO use the common ex-
presslon) that it ''gets into the bones.'
AS regards the former belief DR.. Rosa,
Of Kew York, has recently been collecting
ana examining the evidence as far as
| possible, and has come to the conclusion
that in some cases there really is per
manent nervous affection of the ear pro-
duced which jastifies the opinion held by
the laity. Hitherto physicians have gen
orally disbelieved this, and ascribed the
notion to prejudice.

Post, writing from Cincinnati, says that

beauty of construction and decoration.
are second to none. There are two
methods Of painting on china, known as
emderg2age and .overgzaze work. The
former is the most rare and difficult pro-
cess known in pottery, and it was long
time lost art to modern ceramics A
process for doing it successfully was dis
covered in Franco in 1873 An enterpris-
ing American, Haviland, obtained it, and
| Went into the manufacture OF Limoges"
or what is better known as the 'Haviland
faience." Derch, who applies this method
to Persian faience, and Haviland, are the
! only two manufactures of this underglaze
| work in the world, and their methods of
work are kept strictly secret.
