When screws are driven into soft
wood and subjected to considerable
strain, they are likely to work loose;
in such case dip the screw in thick
glue before inserting. When buying
screws, see that the heads are round
and we'll cut; that there are no flaws
in the body or thread part, and that
they have glmlet points. A screw
of good make will drive into oak as
easy as others into pine, and will en-.
dure having twice the force brought
against it. When there is an article
of furniture to be hastily repaired,
and 70 glue is handy, insert stick a
little less in SIZE than the hole for the
screw, and fill the rest of the cavity
with powdered resin; heat the screw
sufficiently to melt the resin as it is
driven In.

rooms with freedom impossible
with plants growing in earth. Thus,
while nature outside lay frozen and
dead, the interior of his house has
been blooming parterre.
This practice of adjoining rooms
with plants is agreeable one, that
few persons like to be told that it
may prove source OF disease. A
Russian lady suffering from intermlt.
tent fever was attended by Professor
Edward Won Eichwald, of st. Peters
burg. The disease readily gave way
to quinine, but returned again and
again in the most inexplicable mans
ner. At last the cause was discov-
cred: when she LETT her sick room
convalescent she went into the salon,
large room filled with plants. Prot
Won Eichwald ordered the room to
be entirely cleared, and the fever rer
turned no more. Such malignant eff.
fects are impossible with the tertiliz'
ING moss, it cannot turn sour like
earth and poison the plants, or con-
tain the germs of malaria and poison
their owners.
There appear to be no practical
difficulties i'll carrying out the pro
cess. The one all-important point is
to preserve the roots OF the plant
from being torn or otherwise multi
lated, and IRON being brought into
close proximity with the tertilizing
moss. In taking plant from the
earth, M. Domesnil removes the
mould about the roots by placing it
in slightly tepid water. Having pre-
pared, in the basket or vase intended
for the plant, bed OF tertllizing moss,
the quantity being regulated accord
ing TO the strength OF the plant, he
places over it a layer of ordinary
moss of similar thickness. He then
takes the plant and, spreading out
the roots, tastens it in the ordinary
moss, covering the whole with ans
other layer OF the tertilizing moss.
A little water is given at first and
the moss always kept Slightly humid.
Ii the change from the earth to the
moss is made with intelligence, the
plant soon exhibits all the beauty
and freedom OF life, its satisfaction in
it's new conditions being shown by
the quantity OF rootletsit throws out.
Other gardeners besides NJ. Du-
mesnil have tested the process and
testify to the same results. M. Ca

Profits of Orange Growing.

From T. Il. Garey's Book on Grange Culture ia
California.
Nature has done for California ali
that can be asked for in preparing the
best conditions for orange growing.
Our soil is deep and rich and easily
titled. 1t is naturally underdrained,
and as rule, has little hard-pan to
contend with; no trees to remove,
30 brush or underground to clear
away, no bogs TO drain-clean as a
prairie and ready for the plow. This
is the general rule, to which there are
of course, some exceptions. Our
trees are healthy and vigorous. pro-
ductive and long lived our fruit is
superb, possessing good keeping
qualities our climate is healthy and
amply temperate in many localities
tor the perfect success OF business.
Our lands are cheap at present. The
herd law protects our orchards in the
southern part of the State, without
the expense of fencing Our. mar
kets are unlimited at remunerative
prices. What more can we ask for,
and TO what country can our Eastern
brethren and foreign cousins emiA

more inviting, and the chances Tor
success are more abundant than in

MIA?
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
will come hither ere long, in ex-
change for our citrus products. We
shall then be truly prosperous and
wealthy people.
That the proof of the profits of or
ange growing may be made clear,
the following, from the pen of Mr..
Shorb, is appended:
"By very careful estimates made in
1874 of the crop on an orchard of
1853 trees, 800 of which were twelve
years old from the seed, the others

Japanese best breeds alive, or green,

in France, and at eighteen cents for
the same, raised in Caucasus, South
Russia's best market, whose name is
Nouka.
The price of the breeds we have

centimes per kilogramme, rS1.16 to

ces are the lowest ever seen, owing
to the late immense bankruptcy of
the Union Generate Bank of Paris,
but as the prices tend to increase,
and in order not TO discourage the
beginners, we have decided to pay
our own beautiful breeds from fifty
to seventy.five cents per pound, alive,
which is 50 to SO per pound dry.
The difference in these prices is de-
rived from tie weight of 100 cocoons,
or from the comparison between them
carefully made, whose results to this
day are: One of our mulberry fed

WE are pleased to observe that our

the manners if not upon the morals Of
our highly esteemed contemporary, the
Examiner. Not only has it put an ex

dead-beat, who had his private axe to
grind by abuse of its hospitality, but
it pillories the offender himself and even
chides the INTELLIGENCER for a
certain plainness and direction of speech
which, to some truth-loving people, has
especially recommended this journal. -
1t is to be hoped, however, that our
estimable contemporary in its zeal to
propagate regard for the third command
ment will not overlook the ninth, as it
manifests some danger of doing when it
makes garbled quotations from the IN

essentially altering the sense in order to
serve it's purposes. However, if the Er-

something better than ''conduit of red

HANLAN WINS AS USUAL
The champion Oarsman Easily Defeats Boyd
and Disports Himself In tho Pres

Tho champion Oarsman Easily Defeats Boyd
and Disports himself In the Pres
ence OF q big Crowd.
An immense crowd of people, estimated
at hundreds of thousands, assembled at
Newcastle and along the river Tyne on
Monday to witness the race on the Tyne
between Edward Hanlan, of Toronto, the
champion of the world, and Robert Boyd,
the English oarsman, for $4,000 side.
Boyd won the toss for position, and chose
the north side or the river. The weather
was dull, with light shifting winds and
drizzling rain.
Boyd dashed away with the start and
was half length in front in q few strokes
Han!an, however, sculling in grand form,
caught him and in half mile was
clear Of him. Hanlan's time to the
Redhengh Bridge was 3 minutes %
seconds. BY this time Hanlan was
two lengths in front and the race was
over. The Canadian was in magnificent
form, sculling easily and we'll, pulling
more than twenty y-eight strokes to the
minute and winning easily. Boyd was
screwing and in evident trouble, pulling a
very bad course above the bridge. 1t was
quite clear that the Canadian could play
with Boyd, and he soon began his old
tricks, such as playing with his oars every
now and again and stopping dead for sew
eral seconds. Boyd struggled gamely on,
doing his best, but quite Intellectually.
Hanlan stopped, held up ono hand, blew
his nose, and generally disported himself,
but directly Boyd got anywhere near him
the champion pulled a dozen or SO power
fui strokes and went right ahead. 1t was
as easy task for Hanlan as the Layoock
race was. The course was admirably kept,
there not being the slightest obstacle in
the way of the men. Hanlan won by
seven lengths in 81 minutes 6 seconds.
The course was miles 81 furlongs.
There was not much betting. Five to
two was offered on Hanlan with few
takers, although three to one would have
been taken to a considerable amount.
Hanlan made the first mile in minutes
As seconds, the fastest time on record on

Presented with u Magnificent siIver Vase.
President Franklin 3. Gowan, of the
Philadelphia s. Reading railroad, was
agreeably surprised yesterday afternoon,
when number of gentlemen, prominently
identified with the anthracite coal in
forests, enter ed his Office, accompanied by
two stalwart messengers, bearing between
them large brass-bound case of polished
oak, which, upon being removed from its
base, disclosed one of the handsomest sill
yer and gold centre pieces ever manufac
tured in this country.
1t was in tho form of a vase and is said to
have cost 1000. Bailey, Banks & Biddle,
who designed and manufactured the vase,
say it is the largest single piece ever turned
out in their establishment. It consists
of massive iliip.ical or oval bowl of ham,
mered oxydized silver, thirty inches in
length, lined inside with hammered anil
fluted gold, and decorated at tho sides
with fou. silver medaliiOns, each support
ed by an y,aamented curved bracket with
rich GOLD soountirgs. The front medallion
bears in full relief, in gold, bust of Mr..

it's peculiar conchoidal fracture. The
bowl rests upon this, which is itself sup
ported !'y rows Of bordering, widening at
the base and enriched with decorative
representations of tho coal flora of Penn

evening before the Plant Club in the Y.
NJ. C. n. rooms, on the subject of " In
sectiverous Plants" The lecture was de
voted exclusively to the explanation of the
means by which these plants subsist. BY
the aid of crayOn drawings Mr.. Burrowes
elaborated the manner of the growth of
iusectiverous plants, aud showed how diff
ferent species secured their food by the aid
of teutacles; securing insects by these,
and then in the manner of animal organs
digesting them by secretions not unlike
gastric juice,
The lecture was very interesting, and
was one of the most instructive that the
