HINTS FOR FLOWER
GARDENS.

March is the season to sow many kinds
of flower seeds for early blooming; and
it is pleasure to make out the list of
those we mostly desire, and send for them
to our favorite seedsmen. And we can
also plan out our gardens upon paper,
and in our minds eye see the beautiful
clusters of verbenas and petunias; the
brilliant beds of geraniums and fuschias,
the odorous punches of mignonette and
sweet alyssum, and the delicious rows of
the ''painted lady"-sweet pea. For the
latter we have found vegetable garden
culture altogether preferable, 1. e., the
same treatment as we give to common
garden peas planting them as early in
April as the ground can be spaded over,
and sowing in drills and bushing in the
same way. Grown in this manner they
will form most beautiful hedge, and will
blossom in perfection from early in June
until the frost comes. We planted pint
and gathered their blossoms in the great
est profusion. A large basketful could
be picked every morning, and by thus
preventing them from going to seed, their
flowers were continued until the frost
checked their growth. To be sure we
raised but little seed. In another place,
row could be sowed especially for their
seed. Sweet peas are the loveliest flow
erS of the summer, and bouquets of them
are always appreciated by ones friends.
Purchasing them by the single paper,
however, does not give one much idea of
their rare beauty, but if bought by the
ounce, or pint, you will have quantities of
flowers and you will never regret their
| cost. A small amount Of money judi
| ciously expended in seeds, will, in few
months, produce a great diversity of floral
beauty, AMI while they gladden. the heart
of the possessor, will also give pleasure
to every passer by. They are also the
least expensive ornament for the yard OF
lawn, and will give a beauty to the home.
| stead which nothing else can impart. We
hope that every reader will invest a dollar
or more in flower seeds for the ensuing
| summer, and thus realize for themselves
what a relaxation from care, and what
diversion. their culture will give, and how
indispensable they are to home pleasure

INSECTS ON HOUSE PANTS.

SLUGs ON BEGONIAs.-Slugs are occa-
sionally seen eating large holes or notches
in the leaves of all succulents and Bego-
Mas. They usually feed during the night
Cut potatoes, turnips or some other fieshy
vegetables in halves, and place conven-
iently near the plants. The slugs will
gather upon the vegetable and are easily
destroyed.
WHITE WoRMs.-The white worms
which infest, occasionally, all soils where
plants are kept in pots, may be removed
as follows: Sprinkle lime water over the
soil or sprinkle little Stacked lime on
the earth, and in the saucer of the pot.
ing large piece of lime in a pail of cold
water, letting this settle, and then bottling
the clear water for use. Give each pot a
tablespoonful twice week.
OLEANDER BUGs.-To destroy the little
bugs on the Oleander, take a piece of
lime about the size of hens egg, and
dissolve it in about two quarts of water
Wash the stock and branches of the tree
with this water.
PLANT LICE.-Take three and a half
ounces of quassia chips, and five drachms
Stavesacre seeds, in powder; place in
seven pints of water and boil down to
five pints. When cold the strained liquid
is ready for use, either by means of wa
tering-pot or syringe.
Insects must be carefully watched for
and guarded against. Red spiders thrive
in a hot, dry atmosphere. They hate
shower-baths. For green fly nothing is
better than tobacco smoke. If only a
few plants are to be smoked, put them
under barrel, and with them a small tin
box, containing live coal or two and
some damp tobacco on top. The hello
trope and a few other soft-leaved plants
will not stand this treatment. Sprinkle
these with tobacco water and keep in the
shade for twelve hours, after which
sprinkle with clear wafer. Test the
strength of the tobacco water with leaf
If it turns brown, it is too strong, anG
must be somewhat weakened.

DO HOTEL KEEPERS SELL
ALL THE LIQUOR?

Ed. Monitor The very pertinent ques-
ton was asked in the MONITOR of Feb.
IA, CATER saying that the hotel keepers of
Barton were fined at the last term of
court for liquor selling), 'tare they the
only ones" 1 presume the inquiry was
not for information, as everybody who
takes any interest in the cause of tenn
perance, or the welfare of community,
knows that hotel keepers are not the only
ones who deal out the deadly poison.
wish in this article to call the attention
of all the readers of the MONITOR, and
especially that of the customs officers, to
that class of creatures q should not like
to call them mem who every week are
smuggling liquor from Canada and fur
nishing individuals for their own use, and
also dealers to retail; and / would call
their attention particularly to one of these
creatures bearing the name of Sargent,
who has made his headquarters at Glover
the past year. and who has done and is
doing quite an extensive business in fur
liquor. Whether he has an understand
ing with the officers, or whether they
consider they have done their duty by
accepting the office and drawing their
salary | cannot say, but one thing is evil
dent; that Sargent has not been modest
ed in his frequent trips from Rock Island
| to Glover and thence to Greensboro.
| Where is the fault? We have liquor laws
stringent enough to stop all of this liquor
| traffic if they were enforced, and why are
they not put in force? Why does Ver-
mont pay 100000 for a session of the leg
islature to enact laws that remain dead
letter upon her statute books? Can any
one tell? / am anxious for information
upon this point. The apathy and indif-
ference of community, and especially of
temperance societies to the misery and
crime resulting from rum is astonishing.
From the report of prison statistics in
Massachusetts, it appears that about 90
per cent of those committed to all the
prisons are Incorporate. Perhaps, Mr.

COOP BAKED HAM.-Boil ham till nearly
done; remove the skin and cover with
layer of grated bread crumbs, seasoned
with sugar and very little pepper, and
bake an hour in an oven hot enough to
brown the crumbs. The ham should be
raised from the pan in which it is baked,
that it may not taste as if fried in the fat
which may exude from it.

CHILDREN'S DRESS.

No child is prettier for an elaborate
design of dress. A single ruffle at the
edge of the skirt does very well, but it is
quite as well without it. And to cut up
the tiny space of childs dress with loop
ings and trimmings and ornament seems
to us to make them look like monkeys.
Not even the sash is beautiful for child.
A child is constructed first of all to eat
that it may grow, to receive impressions
that it may learn therefore the head and
stomach are large in proportion to the
rest of the body. When the little figure
is nude, so that the soft feshy forms can
be well seen, all this is beautiful; but to
emphasize in the draped form of the child
the large stomach by broad sash, is ut
terly against all rules of beauty.
The legs and arms are often beautiful,
but to show the legs by cutting off the
dress at the hips is immensely awkward,
and seems chiefly to serve to display the
drawers, which are not beautiful gar
ment, and should be entirely hidden. Be-
sides this, in winter our climate is wholly
inappropriate for any such exposure, and
we shall best see the beauty of healthy
child in its easy, untrammelled motion as
! it moves about in a simple dress (of as
handsome material as you like, provided
that it is untrimmedD, which is long
enough to be warm and loose enough to
be comfortable. If you want your chill
dren to be graceful, let them be uncon-
scious; if you want them to be healthy,
let them be sufficiently warm. No wo-
man can have fine complexion who as
a child has been habitually chilled, anG
we see in the winter many children who
seem literally to have nothing on from
the waist down. They could much bet
ter afford to put it the other way, an(
wear nothing from the waist up, the lungs
and heart being at less expense to warn
the upper portion Of the body than tn
legs, which are further away from them

BoRAx.--Lady readers who have not
tested the magic properties of borax have
been losing a great help and comfort. If
once used you will never be without
bottle on your toilet table. It removes
stains and dirt from the hands better than
soap, and at the same time softens and
smooths the skin. 1t is splendid for
washing the hair, and will, without in
jury, cleanse brushes and combs in a few
moments. For washing purposes it saves
both soap and labor. 1t will extract the
dirt from articles of delicate texture with
out rubbing, it being only necessary to
put the articles to soak with solution of
borax over night, and need only to be
rinsed in the morning. Two tablespoon
fuls Of pulveriZed borax dissolved in
quart of water, to which water enough is
added to cover pair of blankets, will
cleanse them beautifully. 1t also saves
great labor In washing paint. 1t is said
to drive away ants and reaches, if sprin-
killed. on the shelves of safes and pantries.
