THE NosE-BLEED.-A correspondent of the
Scientific american says: The best remedy for
bleeding at the nose, as given by DIR. Gleason in
one of his lectures, is a vigorous motion Of the
jaws as if in the act of mastication. In tie
case of a child, wad of paper should be placed
in the mouth and the child instructed TO chew
it hard. OF course an adult does not need the
paper. Ii is the motion of the jaws that stops
the flow of blood. This remedy is simple that
many will feel inclined TO laugh at it; hut il has
never been known to fail in n single instance,
even in very severe cases.

to George the Fourth. There was an empty bot
tie on the table, and the King told the servant to
stake away that marine" A guest sitting next

KNOCKING OUT SUNDAY-SCHOOL IDEAS The
International Bible Studies for Sunday-sehools
teaches that Lots wife was. not turned into n
pillar of salt, but caught in a storm, that
suifocated her, incrusted her, and possibly burn
ed her To n cinder, There is an unhappy dispo-
sition to knock all the interest out of Sunday
to doubt is alarming. While a fast of forty days
was going on in New York, some wretched doubt
er, with unexampled levity, offered to duplicate
the celebrated performance of Jonah, if somebody
weuld provide a whale well furnished with all
the modern improvements. And now comes
along an orthodox authority, with an attempt
TO overthrow the remarkable story about Lots
wife. Next, there will be an attempt to show
that the lions with which Daniel associated were
stuffed, and that Abednego and his companions
wore sheet-iron oyercoats when they walked
through the fiery fumace.-Ci2eissati Esqwirer

SPRING AND FAIL PI6s.-f,igs Uttered in the
fall or early winter, owing to the cold weather,
lack of green food, etc., seldom make a good
start, and in many cases eaten so soon as
dropped by their voracious dams Pigs for the
greatest profit should come about the opening of
spring, with it's fresh grass and warm sunshine I;
they can then be ready for the market by fall,
and very few risks will be run. For this end
sows should be bred in December or January.
At one time, large hogs were highly priced in
the market, but now smaller ones are in demand
and sueh pork can be produced at less expense
per pound than that of large hogs. Young hogs
are the most profitable, born in spring and mar
keted in the fall.-Ameioaa 4srieuItwist.

ORCHARD AND NURSERY.

4pples.-The practice of picking the fruit and
putting it i'll heaps for few days, until the skin
t0ughens, before barreling, is good one. Put
the fruit into the barrel with care, shaking it
down when half full, and again when full
that the apples will fit closely when the head is
pressed in by means Of the barreling press. The
opposite head should he marked as the one TO be
opened. This season of abundant apples it will
not pay to market any except the best fruit, and
that in fine shape. Dry second-rate fruit, or
make il into
Cide.-The best cider is made from late ripen-
ing, sound fruit, and in cool weather, when the
fermentation is gradual. Many early apples
may be worked up into sweet cider and sold
such, or made into vinegar. This is one of the
best methods of turning to account fruit that
would otherwise he lost.
TiRegGr.-The essentials for good vinegar are:
good cider; a temperature of at least 7OS, and
complete exposure to the atmosphere as possible.
The process may he fastened by adding yeast to
the cider, or ''mother' from old vinegar barrels,
which amounts TO the same thing. Vinegar
making, therefore, is a sort of fermentation, IA
cilitated by low microscopic plant of the fun
gus group.
Pomdce from the cider press is of no great val
ue either food for stock, or n manure to
the land. Pigs will eHt it to some extent. 1t
should be put in the manure heap as, when left
by itself, in the open air, it gives off disagree
able oder.
Fruit Cellars should he in readiness but the
fruit should he kept under sheds, etc, until cold
weather comes, being careful to move il to the
cellar before being exposed to severe cold. The
fruit cellar should he provided with ventila-
tors, so arranged that they can be readily thrown
open.
GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS.
The greenhouse before this should have been
put in readiness, that there may be no delay in
bringing in the plants when the time comes.
Soil, labels moss, and all other needed articles,
should be on hand ready for use, and in sufficient
quantity.
Bulbs, for Towering in pots, should be potted
obtained; the soil should be rich,
made loose with plenty of clean sand, af-
ter which the pots and plants may he placed
in cool and dark cellar 10 form a good growth
of roots.
UiRdoT PldRts.-The necessity of gradual
change must be emphasized in removing plants
from the open air TO the dwelling rooms Ii is
best to place the plants in n room where there is
no fire, and one that can be opened during
the day. After a while, the plants may be ia
ken to the close living-room, in which there is
fire.
Hardy Plants can lie forced in window cul-
ture, and deserve more attention than they have
received. Among these are DiccRfra bleeding
Heart), 1sfiLbe Jdponiod, Lily of the Valley. All
such should be taken up at once and ported,
and kept in pit cellar until late in January
or February, later; when brought out for
bloom, they should at first receive water rather
sparingly.
Seeds Of -fREHdls may be sown; Candytuft,
Sweet Alyssum, and Mignonette, and other pref
~ ANIMALS, are always in demand for cut flowers.
