TO remove moss from lawns scratch
over the whole surface where there is
moss with sharp steel rake, loosening
the soil, and then sow lawn-grass seed,
and sift over it a thin covering of fine
soil. Apply moderate dressing of
guano, or if the soil happens to be such
as superphosphate benefits, give it a
moderate application. Finely pulver-
lied old manure, evenly spread, will
help. Kentucky blue grass or June
grass is the best for lawns.-AIbapy

still liquid immerse thin layers of car

low them to dry. When required for
use small piece may be shipped off

inserted into the hollow of the tooth,

very great.
1t is common to hear the complaint
that the profits of farming have become
very small. The truth of the matter is,
that circumstances have put farmers
upon basis Of business principles, and
the farmer who is business man,
makes money; the one who is not makes
none. To obtain the highest profits
from his business, the farmer must use
his brains more than he did thirty years
ago. Land is higher and competition
is sharper; the best farmer ought to
know just what each crop, each field,
and each animal has put in or taken out
of his pocket; if he knows this, he can
know what crops are most profitable
upon each particular field, and what
class, breed and age of animals are most
pro6table.-PraSg9e Farmer.

PAPER AND INK,
How They Are Responsible for Defects In
the Eyesight.

How They Are Responsible for Defects In
the Eyesight.
The colors of paper and ink arr far
more responsible for defective eyes ght
than cross-Ights from opposite win
dows, light shining directly in the face,
insufficient light, or small type. Il
these were remedied the principal cause
of the mischief would still remain, the
real root of the evil being the univer-
sally used black ink and white paper.
These, says the writer in question, are
running the eyesight of all the reading
Nations. He argues that the rays OF
the sun are reflected by white body
and absorbed by black one, and that
we print our newspapers and books in
direct opposition to the plainest correct
principles Of optical science. A book
or newspaper as now printed being read
by us, the eyes do not see the letters,
which, being black, are non-refective;
the outlines of the impressions of the
type reach the retina, but they are not
received by the spontaneous, direct ac-
ton of that organ. The white surface
of the paper is reflected, but the letters
are detected only by discriminative
effort Of the optic nerves. This constant
labor irr;tates the nerves, and, when
long continued, eXhausts their suscepti-
bility. AS proofs, the writer cites the
well-known fact that the human eye
can not long sustain the glare of a
white surface without injury. The sun
light reflected from fields of snow, I'M
relieved by the colors of other objects,
or from the white sands of the desert
is, the world over, productive of oph-
thalmia.
In accordance with this argument, If
colored paper were substituted for white
the eyes of all reading people would at
once be relieved of a binding strain-a
continuous effort bound to result in per-
manent weakening Of the eyes. Ma
ture and science, says the writer above
quoted, tell us that the color of all
printing paper should be green. Green
grass covers the ground, green leaves
are on the trees and green is the color
most grateful to the eye.
Green newspapers would be a novel
ty, but in time we would grow accus-
toned to the tint; green school books
would please the children; but green
grounds would sadly mar the high art
engravings for which a number of
American magazines have become
noted. And, if our scientific friend is
correct in his conclusions, green paper
would sadly cripple the trade in eye
glasses and spectacles. - Scientific

THE SUMS HEAT.
VIII the Time Ever Come When Old Sol
Will Have Burned Himself Up?

VIII the Time Ever Come When Old Sol
Will Have Burned Himself Up?
One acre of the suns heat supplies
energy sufficient to run all of the steam
engines on the earth. Is the radiation
of the sun a constant quantity? This is
most difficult question. The vine and
the olive flourish, as they did two thou
sand years ago. From geology we can
gather no certain evidence. But we
must apply to the sun these principles
we have enunciated. Some have said
that the constant rushing of meteoric
bodies into the sun feed it and keep up
its heat We can calculate this matter,
and let us see how much would be re-
CURED If you should take the moon,
and crumble it up, and pour it into the
sun, it would not keep up its heat for a
twelve-month. No, this can not be-
Then, is the sun q red-hot, body
gradually cooling? No. Then is it
burning out, consuming itself? In such
case it would have been all burned
out by this time. Humboldt discovered
the clew to this problem The sun is
gradually growing smaller, four miles
in a century. AS the particles grow
smaller, they crowd closer together.
And here in this delicate relation we
find a solution of this question. may
seem to state paradox when say
that while the sun is losing heat it is
growing hotter. As the sun shrinks it
parts with heat, but, if the sun is CASE
Gus, the quantity left grows hotter.
This can not go on forever. 1t is doubt,
less true that the sun is more brilliant
now than it was ages ago, but when the
sun shrinks so as to become mostly
solid, this brilliancy will cease to in
crease, and the heat will eventually
cease. AS the sun is decreasing in size,
so once it must in ages agone have

HOUSE PLANTS.
How to Attain Success in the Cultivation OF
Indoor Plants.


Indoor Plants.
I Success is not always attained in the
cultivation of indoor plants, not alone
in producing bloom but in even retain
ing life, and the reason may be charged
to the neglect of some minor details. It
is not necessary to have large pot and
large bodies of soil, as too often that
will induce the growth of roots at the
expense Of bloom and beauty Then,
too, little attention is given to tempera-
| ture during the colder months, as a
room containing plants will frequently
show a temperature of eighty degrees,
and as the fire dies out fan to sixty de-
grees, or even less. This is most disas-
trons to plant life. Again, plants are
liable to collect dust on their leaves,
which excludes the necessary effects of
moisture. Many people think that an
excess of water used in moistening
plants will not occasion harm. This IS
a grave error. As good plan. as any
is to cover the surface of the pots with
tea leaves or some substance thatswill
retain the moisture and also assist IN
equalizing the temperature. A dish Of
water set in the plant-room VIII con-
tribute, by its evaporation, degree Of
moisture to the plants. Water in moist
ening plants should be about the same
temperature as the room. and the pots
turned every day or two so as TO pre-
sent different side to the sun. A tea
spoonful of ammonia to gallon Of
water is an inyigorator to plant life. and
will frequently induce profusion of
bloom. Try to keep the temperature Of
the room in which your plants are stu
ated at as even and steady a height as
possible, and do not give too much
water, but enough to keep them moist.
