BALTIMORE, March l8.--The Rev J. A.
Register, pastor of the Central Methodist Episco
pal Church South, in this city, arose in confer
ence to-day and after presenting the report of
the operations of his Congregation during the
year briefly proceeded to announce his apostacy
to the Protestant Episcopal Church. His re
marks created most intense excitement, and
dozens of his fellow clergymen came pressing
around him, eagerly urging him not to be hasty.
With tears in his eyes the reverend gentleman,
whose congregation is one of the wealthiest in
the city, stated that he had thought well over
the subject, although he had never given an in
timation of his intention to any living being I'M
til he had Informed the conference, He felt sure
that God had called him to his new work and
he accepted thu call without question At the
conclusion of his remarks there was a solemn
quietness in the conference Then Mr.. Register
again rose and, taking up his hat, walked down
the aisle with bowed head and sorrowful mein.

The Flower Garden.
New York Evening Post.


Our best florists no longer SOW seeds in earth
enware, but use shallow boxes instead Com
mon soap boxes, cut into three or four pieces,
making a depth of not more than one or two
inches for the soil into which the seeds are to be
sown, are convenient. OF course. any size of box
will do but it should not be of greater depth
than two inches, otherwise the soil will get too
wet and become sour. Care must be taken that
the bottom Of the box is left open sufficiently to
allow the water to escape when given in excess.
Almost any good soil will suit, which. for con-
venience had better be procured from the near
est florist
After placing the soil in the boxes make the
surface perfectly level and smooth then sow the
seed evenly over it, press it into the soil, and
cover it. The rule is that all seeds should have
a covering of soil equal to the size of the seed.
When covered water gently with a fine rose
watering pot; this one watering will usually be
sufficient until the seeds come up in any case
the soil should not be again watered until, by
its light color, it shows indications of being dry.
Although seed will terminate in the dark, the
moment that they break the surface of the soil
they should be placed in the lightest possible
place.
The temperature best suited to the germina-
ton of nearly all seeds is about co. at night
with 10o during the day. After the seeds have
started to make the rough leaves, they should
be replanted from the seed boxes into similar
boxes at distances of from an inch to aninch and
a half apart, where they can remain to be set out
in the open ground, from the middle to the end
of May.
1t is very important to get the proper kinds of
flower seeds because there are hundreds OF va
reties offered in the sediments lists thatit would
be useless for the amateur to attempt to cult
vate For want of discrimination in selection
much disappointment ensues. The kinds re
commended to give the most general satisfaction
are asters in variety, Balsams tcamela fowered)
candytuft, in variety, cockscombs, chrysanthe-
mum tri-colors, coleus convolvulus cypress
vine, geraniums, nargold (god-sripedl, mig
nonette. pyramidal, and spiral, pansy, in va
riety, phox drummondii, petunia, single and
double stocks, verbenas, and znnia.
Another plan, very satisfactory with amateur
gardeners raising flowers is to purchase very
small plants from the florist about the first week
i'll April which at that season can be had at
about one-third the price they are sold for in
May. These plants are shifted into pots a size
larger and can be kept in the sitting room where
there is plenty of light BY the time OF planting
out in May they will have grown to be large and
fine plants They will require but little care,
The kinds of plants best suited for summer
towering that can be safely grown in the sitting

trope, and monthly roses. There are many
others, of course, but these are the simplest and
such as will be most satisfactory.

In preparing the ground for spring planting

thirty five inches. Such Il field may be kept
constantly clean with the cultivator at very
little expense, the runners being cut off with Il
sharp-edged wheel fixed to the side of the cult

may vary according to the richness of the soil
growth on fertile ground than where it is
poorer. The best ground on which to set new
plants in spring is such as has been heavily ma

In small houses, where closets are not abund
ant many convenient receptacles for certain
things can be made to answer other purposes as
well. An ottoman, for instance, tall enough to
serve for seat, may have a top provided with
hinges which, ON being raised, discloses parti
toned box for hats and bonnets. A long window
seat, made from a pine box and covered with fig
ured jute, makes an admirable place to lay away
clean shirts; and one as long, but only half the
width is a great convenience in a dining room
for the table cloth and napkins in use for the
day. Hanging shelves, such as are used for
books, when furnished with curtains, may be
appropriated to castor, tumbels, and other APP
pointnents.
