The BOuvardia is one Of the most useful
of winter blooming plants, and florists raise
it in great quantities. Plants struck from
cuttings early in the spring, after being
grown in small pots until they are vigo--
rous little specimens. may be hardened off,
and hen be planted out in rich soil in the
open ground during summer. Early in
autumn the plants should be lifted and
potted, and set in the shade watered, and
the foliage syringed when fully estab-
lished, place them where they will have a
moist atmosphere, good light, and heat
of 6O0 to 700. In warm localities they can
be left in the open air to bloom during the
fall. Like most other plants this has it's
insect enemies, and the cultivator must
employ his skill and the proper remedies
for the destruction and prevention of green
fly, red spider and mealy bug. The flow
ers of Bouvardia have pleasing fragrance,
and, being Of considerable substance, retain
their form and remain in good condition
for considerable time; they are gems in
bouquets, and of the highest value in all
flower work. The new double varieties,
both white and pink, lately originated, add
much to the interest of this family of

One Way of Treating Servants.
Boston Budget


shall never forget the servants sleep
ing rooms in very simple household /
once was in. Everything was fresh and
clean and wholesome looking. The two
iron bedsteads comfortably made, the win
dow curtains spotless, the two bureaus
neatly arranged, the floor nicely matted,
and with strip of carpet before each bed,
and On the wall some pretty colored pict-
ures. The mistress of this genial, simple
house told me that she labOred for year
before she could induce her two maids to
see the beauty and comfort in such order,
but now they felt it keenly, and it had
effected heir work and spirits very visibly.
Near their kitchen was q small room, which
Mrs. - had fitted up snugly into sit
ting-room and place to take their meals
in. There was chest of drawers in which
were their napkins and table cloths and
their own bed linen, a nice glass-doored
case showed their china. My friend told
me that for some time her maids actually
preferred to use the kitchen, but she finally
won them over to a great pride in their
neat little room, and she said the effect
upon their characters and work was speed
lily visible. Occasionally she would bring
in some flowers, or pretty, inexpensive orna-
ment, for them she took good illustrated
weekly paper entirely for their use, requir-
ing them to file it, and before long genu-
inc taste for refinement and surroundings
and manner had developed. These two
servants had come to her very uncouth and
untutored, but certainly when I saw them,
after three years residence with Mrs. -,
they were far the most refined respectful
and well-mannered servants I have ever
seen in America. OF course some people
would aver this sort of consideration would
"spoil' servant, but it seems to me that
the very first means Of teaching the ser
want of to-day what she ought to do is to
make her feel that her mistress house is
her home, the place in which she is to live,
not the place in which she is to work in
as little as possible and escape from during
every possible hour,
