How TIE NUTMEGs GRow.--Nutmcgs
grow on little trees which look like little pear
trees and are generally not over twenty feet
high. The flowers are very much like the lily
of the valley. They are pale yellow and very
fragrant The nutmeg is seed of thcfruit, and
mace is the thin covering over the seed. The
fruit is about AS large as peach, When ripe
it breaks open and shows the little nut inside
The trees grow ON the islands of Asia and
tropical America They bear fruit for seventy
or eighty years, having ripe fruit on them Al
all seasons. A fine tree in Jamaica has ovcl
1000 nutmcgs ON it yearly. The Dutch used
to have all this nutmeg trade, as they owned
the Banada islands, and conquered all th,
other tribes and destroyed the trees. To kecl
the price up, they once burned three piles o
nutmegs, each of which was as large as Il
church Nature did not sympathise with such
mcanncss. The nutmeg pigeon, found in al
India Islands, did for the world what tho
Dutch had determined should not be done
carried all their nuts, which are their food
into the surrounding countries, and the trees
grew again, and the world had the benefit.

PROVIDE SHADE FOR THE SToCK-Shelter
from the burning sun may be provided by
means OF a cheap open shed of boards, or by
throwing bouglls upon framework of POSTS
and poles. Some such provision for the com
fort of stock should he made, as it is not only
humane, but profitable. Better still is little
grove of trees of sufficient size only to make a
good shade for the whole flock. A single
tree is not usually cnough-such comfort is
often monopolized by the master" of the flock

is that cast by fence, and il may he wire

them shelter which will more than repay

Everything that will be required must he at

tuck the lower sheet and cross sheets and push
them toward the middle of the bed. Have a
sheet ready folded or rolled the long way, and
lay it on the mattress, unfolding it enough to
tuck it in ut the side Have the cross sheet
prepared as described before, and roll it also,
laying it over the under one and tucking it
in, keeping the usual portion of both still
rolled Move the patient over to the side thus
prepared for him; the soilcd sheets can then
he drawn away, the clean ones completely
mrolled and tucked in on the other side
The coverings need not he removed while
this is being done; they can be pulled out
from the foot of the bcdstcad and kept wrap
ped around the patient To change the upper
sheet take off the spread and lay the clean
sheet over the blankets, securing the upper
edge TO the bed with couple of pins; stand

soiled sheet, replace the former and put on
the spread. Lastly change the pillow cases

credit for originating it, but this law
was passed in time of war
anil signed by Mr.. Lincoln when lie
had a-milliOn men under his control,
and could have controlled the elections
without any such aid. The purpose Of
the law was to insure fairness in elcc-
tons, and the Democrats now bore
witness to its fitness for that purpose
by trying to re-pnact it,. lie dcridcd
the idea of danger from military inter
ference, aud said there were only 2,797
soldiers cast of Omaha, and only LOO
in the Southern States, about 20 to ev-
tery million people. The Democratic
cry of military d~espottsm would injurc
the standing of the country abroad 4;
but a European would laugh at it if
he knew there was only IL soldier to
every eve hundred square miles of
territory in the South. This was not
the real issue. The Interior purpose of
