THE finest corn for making bread is
produced in the Southern States, and it
is likely that the general use of corn
bread in the South is owing to the SUI
periority of the corn for cooking pur-

for its sweetness. The kernels are
large and soft.

or three weeks before they have been
found and extracted.

ors; take hair wire and wrap around the flow

piece Of wax and wet your fingers and press it
tightly around the bud, letting the wire come
through the center. Select the smallest of the
feathers; strip of the down, clip off the stems,
and stick in your wax close to the bud, then
larger feathers, and 80 on, till you have your
flowers large as you want. Some notch
around the edge and some draw through the
scissors and curl them, and then form in a

Roses for Winter Flowers.

Contrary to the teachings of older cultivstors
than myself, assert, with that positive assur-
ance which an accomplished fact will enable
one to maintain, that Roses can be made to
bloom in winter, provided their wants are
studied and the proper treatment given. 1t is
useless to dig up Rose plant in the fall, care
fully pot it. and expect il to bloom that winter,
as some of our bedding plants-Geraniums,
for instance-will do. Roses intended for win
forthcoming must he grown in pots during the
summer mouths, in order that they may form
working roots. These are the little white
fbers Won will see among the other roots, and

have turned TO dark-brown color their day OF
usefulness has passed.

hence the substance seemed to act as
carrier of the food from the soil to
the plant.
Grandeur determined this black
, substance in several soils, and found
an unmistakable relation between it
and the fertility Of the soil rather
than between the total humus and fer.
tility, and still more pronounced re-
lation between the fertility and the
proportion of ash-ingredients con-
tanned in the extract of black sub
stance. He tried experiments with
soils artifcially enriched in black sub
stance, by mixing with them another
soil rich in this substance but poor in
potash and phosphoric acid; the soil
thus enriched yielded in pot culture
almost twice as large crops as did the
original soil IN rotation of barley,
fallow, tobacco, maize, beets and to-
bacco; he also succeeded in getting
plants to grow vigorously in coarse
sand, watered only with solution Of
black substance. These researches
and new support to the opinion, al
ready we'll grounded, that humus is
an ingredient Of our arabic soils that
should be highly priced, and that all
reasonable means should be taken to
maintain a fair proportion Of it by the
liberal manufacture and use Of stable
manure, or by frequent ploughing in
of green crops.

Kidnapping Children.

The perils of children living in largo
city like New York are shown by remark
able story, printed in to-day's HERALD,
the street and compelled to beg for their
captors. These little girls were induced,
partly by persuasion, partly by intimida-
ton, to accompany two strange and older
girls to their miserable lodging, and then
day after day compelled to beg from door
to door. One of the children, fortunately,
made her escape, and was subsequently
the means of rescuing her companion
in trouble. 1t appears that the police
authorities were notified of the disap-
pearance of Lena and Rosie, for they issued
general "alarm" to the force, but very
little attention seems to have been paid to
it, as the unfortunate victims must have
passed under the eyes of several patrolmen,
who should have been on the watch tor
them. 1t is indeed startling to know that
children can be kidnapped in open
daylight and forced to beg through the
streets in the presence of police force
supposed to be looking for them.
What security have parents that their
loved ones are safe for q. moment out of
their sight2 II little girls can be thus
rudely snatched from honest and innocent
lives and thrust into career of imposture
and positive slavery, while our streets are
presumably guarded by nearly three thou
sand policemen, there is very little reliance
to be placed on these so-called guardians of
the peace. 1t is to be hoped that the police
will bestir themselves and arrest tho kid
nappers SO that their punishment may be
made terror to others, else we may have to
record similar crimes with less fortunate
results.

The streets OF Paris.

Even like our own illustrious Board of
Aldermen the Municipal Council of the city
of Paris has not great deal to do, and is
not filled up with all the talent in the city;
but it has an itch to be busy, and this, in
huenced by the small modicum of sense the
Council possesses, operates in queer way
on the few things submitted to it's author
ity. 1t is like small boy to whom some
i'll advised person has given a paint brush
and several pots of paint, and who goes
about to paint all the houses, front doors,
window shutters. trunks of trees and ac-
cessible objects generally dainty pink to-
day if he fancies that color, and n pale
green tomorrow II his fancy changes, and
so on, O new color every day till the paint
runs out or the police step in. 1t is one of
the recognized functions Of the Council to
give names to the streets Of Paris; but
then the number of streets is limited, and
if a new hali-dozen are added now and then
they are soon named, and the Council is
left idle with this great function on its
hands, as the small boy would be with all
the neghboraood painted. But as the
small boy could go over them all with
another color 80 can the Council 60
over all and give them new names.
And this it does. 1t has recently rubbed
out all the names on the Rue Dauphin on
the Quai Napoleon, the Rue Bonaparte, the
Rue Saint Arnaud, the Rue Marignan, the
Boulevard Haussmann, the Avenue Jose-
phine, the Avenue de la Refine Hortense,
the Avenue Roi de Rome, and a number
more, giving to all the names Of persons
supposed to have become distinguish in
way not inimical to the prosperity Of
republican institutions, or the names OF
things presumptively suggestive of repub-
lican ideas. just now 1t will be seen the
aim is to wipe out the Empire and inscribe
the Republic; for the Council is ferociously
republican. But if the Empire had just been
restored the Council would be equally
busy in giving names with an imperial aa-
