languages, especially Latin, without a
knowledge of which one can not real
iv understand English. Mathematics,
at least as far as algebra and geometry,
should be taught to the older students,
and history should be made a study. II
would be a useful thing for farmers
how to know that farmers have some
times occupied the first places in the
world: that it was farmer who, While
blowing in his fields, was called by mes
sengers to become Dictator OF Rome
and General of the Roman Army, ana
who, leaving his oxen, obeyed the call,
vanouished the invaders and enemies OF
his country, and in sixteen days re-
turned again to his plow. Cincinnatus'
the farmer, General and deliyerer OF MS
country, might well be held as an orna-
ment to a profession or an industry that
is too much in danger of being desplsed
BY thoughtless persons. 1t would oe
useful also for our daughters to
know that the first ladies OF home
used the spinning-wheel and were the
best of housekeepers. Studies OF these
kinds would, of course, require gopd
teachers. Good teachers should be Sc,
cured and encouraged. A farmer should
at least be willing to expend as much
on the comfort, welfare and education
of his children as he would on the sta
bling and the training of colt. But
time and space fail, and it may be
enough to say in closing these suggeS-
tions that whena really good education
is provided for farmers children IN the
country schools there will be less
thought or heard of the isolation and
disagreeablenesS of farm life.-Henry

The COlOrs OF Flowers.

Hitherto it has been supposed that the
colors Of flowers were due to so many
different materials, each color being a
chemical combination having no relation
with the others. But now, however,
Professor Schuetzler, in cOmmunica-
ton to the VaudoiS Society Of Natural
Sciences, shows that, when the color Of
a flower is extracted by placing the lat
ter in alcohol, the addition of an acid or
alkali will give all the colors that plants
exhibit. Flowers Of peony, for exam
pie. give when put into alcohol a violet
red liquid. If to this solution binoxa-
late of potassa {" salt Of sorreT) be
added the color becomes pure red. Soda
causes it to change, according to guam
titv used, to violet, blue or green. In the
latter case the green liquid appears red
by transmitted light, just as solution
OF chlorophyl (the green coloring mat
ter of leaves does. The sepals of pH-
ony, which are green bordered with red,
become entirely red when put into a
solution of bionOXalate Of pOtassa.
These changes of color which may be
obtained at will, MAJ well be produced
in plants by the same causes, since in
all plants there are always acid or aka
line matters. Moreover, it is quite GER
tain that the change from green to red
observed in leaves in autumn is due to
the action of the tannin which they
contain on the chlOrophyl. Consequent
ly, without wishing to affirm it abso-
lutely, Professor Schuetzler believes
that a pri0rj there is in all plants but
one coloringmatter--chlorophyl-w (which,
becoming modified by certain agents,
gives all the tints that flowers and leaves
exhibit. As for white flowers, it is well
known that their want of color is due to
the fact that their cells are filled with
colorless fluid, and that their opacity
proceeds from the air contained IN the
interspaces. When such flowers are
placed under the receiver of an air
pump they are seen to lose their opacity
and become transparent in measure as
the air is exhausted. Scientific AmerI-
