Among the Flowers.

John J. Thomas, author of one of the best American fruit books, and for more than thirty years q we'll known authority on iruIt culture, writes:
 am a very plain man, and per haps most of you would not think from gaze at uly exterior that am a passionate lover of flowers. But there is nothing which take greater delight, and from long experience in farm life l can say that, although l have gwen great many hours to the cultivation of flowers, the time thus spent has been by no means lost. l am not poor for my flower garden, 1 am richer in all that makes my life worth living. And when any ex- cuses himself from assisting hIs wife and children to arrange a flower gar den because he has no time for such foolish things, l set him down as one who does not take any broad ground in matters of real economy. l look upon economy as something that ap- plies to more than mans pocket book. It looks to health and happi- ness of his family, and it is my con viction that there IS nothing connect ed with farm life that has more ele- ments of true economy in 1t than the plan of spending time and thought among the flowers.

Does the Liquor Traffic Pay,

Comparison is the macadamized road to knowledge Mir. E. F. Ora gin, of Chicago, writes to MT. F. F. Elmondorf, president of the citizen $ league-contrasting the liquor busi- ness in Chicago with other general business in respect to their pecunia- ry value to the community.
 From the Assessors books he finds that in addition to taxes on req, es- tate, ten representative houses in various lines of general business paid taxes $iG5, ,555, and had six thousand men Tn their employ. They advanced the value of real estate and encouraged trade. He gives q list also of ten saloons, Tn winch ten mur- ders were committed last year, en- tailing an expense of many thous. ands; the employed forty men and their taxes and licenses were not more than $575. They did not stim uiate trade, but tended to lower the value of real estate.
 MT. Cragin maintains that the ex- VI" expenses tp the city from the liquor trade, last year, were more than $930,000. Deduct the amount received from liquor dealers for tax e and licenses, and there remains il net balance against the liquor traffic of S736,773,60. Ofthe total taxes of Chicago last year, (nearly $6,O0O. GOO, ] wholesale Honor dealers and sa,oon-keepers paid not more than SI94,O00. But according to the Trib. unc and Intor-Ocean, of Chicago. they caused three fourths of all the crime, Should not the expenses be paid, as far as practicable, by those who caused them2 The Cincinnati Gazette has proven that in that city eighty.onc per cent of all the crime came, last year from the saloons How long will the people permit it? - Ex,

The f arIner.

Agriculture IS the basis of fnational strength and wealth, and a most cer. tain and liberal support to all who follow it ints.ligently.
 The farmer wiIl succeed who makes up hls mlnd that the whole secret of business is in himself; that it is the man and not inc business that tells. He will succeed if he sticks close to the farm as the me chanic does to hfs shop, and not ex- pect to work three or four months and then take hls case the rest of the year. That farmer will succeed who takes the papers and digests what he reads; and is not afraid of new ideas and new methods of industry. He will succeed if it is his intention that whatever he sends to market shall be the very best, and so made and put up that when seen it will be captivating for it's freshness, cleanh- ness and purity, and will be unhesi- tatingiy taken on account of his well known character for honesty of weight, measure and count. Those who have farms may think them selves fortunate, for although they will not thereby find sudden roads to wealth, they will certainly prove that persistent farm labor will bring a sure reward. It is worthy of no tice, that the adventurer and specu- lator, with blasted hopes and shat tered health and fortune, have in the end to come back to the farm for health and safety.

Hats Of,

bio Lewis accounts for the bald ness of men in a simple way-their habit of keeping the head constantly covered. He says you never sec . hair below where the hat touches the skull. It will take off as clean as you can shave it down to exactly that line, but never hair below, if he has been bald fifty years. The common black stiff hat, as imperyi- Ous as sheet iron, retains the heat and precipitation. The little hair glands, which bear the same relation to the hair that the seed wheat does to the plant above the ground, bc come weak from the moisture and iinaly become too weak to sustain the hair. It falls out and badness exists. A man with good head of hair needs very little protection where the hair grows And yet" he says, "we men wear immensely thick fur caps, and what amounts to sheet-iron hats, and do not dare step out in a chilly atmosphere q moment lest we .akc cold. IL is silly, weak, and re alley serious error. The Creator knew what he was about when he covered mans head with hair. It has very important function in protecting the brain. Badness is a serious misfortune. Ii will never DC eur in any man who wears such q hat aa du, common white silk hat with 500 holes in the top, so that there will be more holes than hat. This costs nothing, the natter will do it when you purchase your hat. If the nap be combed back the wrong Way, and after the holes are made it be combed the right way, no one will observe the pecu.iarity. The hat will wear quite as long-the matters say considerably louger-because it is dry instead of moist; in brief, there is not q single objection to it, while 1t will certainly prevent badness, keep the top of the head cool, and prevent much headache"

The DIet of the Japanese.

Few natives, except officers in tho capital, sailors and soldiers, eat beef Mutton and pork beyond the treaty ports are scarcely yet known. About two hundred varieties of fish are eaten, one half of the people eating fish every day. The food of the masses is ninety per cent. vegeta ble."
 A list of food plants in use, not in. cluding sea plants, has been prepar. ed, with their analyses, by Prof. Ed. ward Kinch, of the Tokio University A large number of these substances are unknown, or at least unused. in the United States. Of rice, which occupies in it's culture one half of the cultivated land, there are two hundred and fifty varieties of seed Tn the country. Millet is extensively used, but bread raised from 2 sponge" of yeast IS scarcely vel known in the popular diet, the old Latin Portuguese word "pan" being however, in use.
 The soy bean, which in chemical composition closely approaches ani- nal fiber, is extensively cultivated, Probably no country eXcels Japan in the variety of ieguminous plants raised for food. Of tubers and roots the sweet potato is tue most popular though, strange to say, as much ta. booed by the aristocratic classes, as onions are supposed to be among US. Sixteen million bushels of these "Satsuma pototoes" were produced last year, while the Java" or 'Dutch"-our common white potato is left to foreigners, the native palate not liking It. Lily bulbs-six, teen varieties-scryc as food, boiled and served with "drawn butter The lotus root is eagerly eaten with out oblivion of country or decay of patriotism. Poppy seeds powdered as condiment, infusions of saltcd cherry blossoms for drink, horse chestnuts and acorns arc amang the articles of diet

Southern Cooking.

An old Georgia gentleman say. that cooking in the South is nof what it llscd to be. In slave day. the lady of the house selected hel cook, and raised and framed her un der her own immediate supervision In those times southern waffle was superior to the Southern statesman shlp. Bul now, he says, having to deal with servants who may leave them at any time, they take no pains and have no motive to train them as cooks The schools, too, he says, are against it. They teach music, French, German, painting and dancing, and have no time for useful arts. He would rather have his daughter roast a turkey in one language than sing a song In ten.
