How japanese Restore Faded Flowers.

After bouquet is dropping beyond
all remedies of fresh water the Japa-
nese can bring it back to all its first
glory by very simple and seemingly
most destructive operation. A recent
visitor to Japan says:
81 had received some days ago a de-
lightful bundle of flowers from JAP
aneSe acquaintance. They continued
TO live IN all their beauty for nearly
two weeks, when at last they faded.
Just as | was about to have them
thrown away the same gentleman
Japanese gentleman) came to see me.
| showed him the faded flowers, and
told him that, though lasting a long
time, they had now become useless.
oh, no. said he, only put the ends of
the stems into the fire, and they will
be rs good as before | was incredu-
lous; SO he took them himself and held
the stems in the fire until they were
charred. This was in the morning; at
evening they were again looking fresh
and vigorous, and have continued SO
for another week. What may be the
true agent in this reviving process I
am unable to determine fully; whether
it be the heat driving once more the
last juices into every leanet and vein,
or whether it be the bountiful supply
of carbon furnished by the charring.
| am inclined, however, to the latter
cause, as the full effect was not pro-
duced until some eight hours after
ward, and as it seems that if the heat
was the principal agent, it must have
been much sooner followed by visible
changes"

DR.. P. P. Deherain maintains that
The electric light contains rays hurtful
to vegetation, but these, he says, can
beheld back by transparent glass. The
light itself, he finds, contains enough
of the rays useful to vegetation to
maintain the life of plants two months
and a half; but the quantity of favor
able rays is too small to bring crops to
a condition of maturity.

The will of George Barstow, of San
Francisco, disposing Of an estate valu-
ed at $4,000, was filed for probate
recently. In it he says: Having
observed that Ostentation and expen-
sive funerals are injurious to the peo-
pie, often absorbing money which
poverty can't well spare to vanity and
pride, therefore, by way of example
for which l beg pardon of the under
takers, let my coffin be plain red
wood box, put together with plain
nails or screws, without paint or
varnish and plain iron handles, and all
else about the funeral to correspond
with this plainness. Let there be a
cheap shroud and no flowers. What
is dead man but a handful Of dust :?
Instead of hearse may just as well
be carried to the grave upon some
ordinary vehicle in everyday use,
since life is but journey and the day
of death the final rest.'

However much the farming classes
may complain of the vicissitudes of
the season and the consequent uncer-
tainty of agriculture, remarks the
CaIltioator, yet there are more elements
of certainty in this industry than any
commercial or manufacturing enter
prise. Statistics of business, records
of bankrupt courts, the experience of
merchants and manufacturers, all 90
to prove this proposition. The abject
poverty and real suffering which ex-
ist in large cities and towns are large
ly out of proportion to the population
as compared with the rural districts.
