Flower Seeds Worth Their WEIGHT
in Gold.

From an Interview with Pittsburg Florist
Just now tho fashionable rage is for
loose flowers, roses, carnations, lilies
of the valley, hyacinths. These are
scattered promiscuously over the table
at swell dinner parties, and have most
pleasing effect. The latest develop
ment in roses is the Bennett tea rose.
1t was reared by an English horticul-
turist, and is the popular flower in the
east now. This rose is of deep GRIM
son hue, something similar to the Jack"
rose. 1t Is certainly beautiful flower,
and they are snatched up eagerly in
New York at 81 per bud. A bouquet
of Bennett roses, you can we'll under
stand, represents quite an investment.
The Marshall Neil rose is still q prime
favorite; it sells for twenty-five cents.
The pearl, pretty yellow rose, brings
Is cents, and the Duke of Connaught,
q fine dark red lose, commands thirty
five cents. Lilies are worth thirty cents,
camelias fifteen cents and carnations
five cents. I have received word that
two of the leading florists of New York
City have packages of rare seeds locked
up in vaults of the Safe Deposit Com
pany here which are worth four times
their weight gold.

The Treating" Custom.

The American system of treating" in
barrooms and other places where strong
drinks are sold, has been made mis-
demeanor by law in Nevada. The anti
treating law makes setting 'em up" pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment, eth
er or both. It is made water tight,
and therefore liquor-tight, and would
require ingenuity to evade it, which
when possessed can be employed to
better advantage than in law breaking.
The first section of the act makes it
unlawful to treat or be treated, and fix
es the penalty for it's infraction. The
other sections constitute any attempt
ed evasion of the law greater offence
than its open violation and attach still
more severe penalties for practising Chi
canery or subterfuge. The fines when
collected go to the school fund of the
county in which the offence is commit
ted and conviction had. This Nevada
law is founded on the principle that
treating is a vice, rather than that
drinking is q pernicious habit. Liquor
selling is licensed, and therefore law.
fdl. A man may 60 into a saloon and
buy and pay for all the liquor he wants
to drink himself, but he is not per-
mitted to pay for his friends tipple.
The theory is that under this regula-
ton a man will drink no more than he
wants, and in nearly all cases will go
out sober, whereas party of ten or a
dozen drinking after they treat all
around often have more than they can
carry. The law covers all kinds of dis
titled spirits, wines, malt beverages and
even takes in cider. Lemonade, soda
and settler are exempt from its provi.
sions, but to pay for another mans Ice
water would be regarded as chicanery
and subterfuge.

short and easy way to settle the Diff
Guilty between the farmer and the mer-
chant, is for the farmer to pay cash and
make the merchant his lifelong friend.
The farmer now complains against the
freight agent. There is way to settle
with him. II he charges you too much
on corn, feed your corn. You will thus
condense freight, and instead of haul
ing ton he will haul but 500 pounds.
If he put up the tariff on stock. that
will encourage packing houses in our
cities, and the railroad will haul 100
miles instead of 500. Furthermore, if
the railroad buys up your Governor, or
Representatives, you can get your lit
tie votes ready, and the next time take
off his political head. Whenever the
farmers get down to this business in
earnest there will be less cause Of COM
plant.

Flower Culture.

Flower Culture.
From the Prairie Farmer
Many Americans could we'll take a
hint from the following extract from a
paper on the Pleasure of Flowers, read
at the recent meeting of New Jersey
horticulturists, by Mr.. John Thrope,
who stated that I'm England there are
hundreds of floral societies, the men,
bers being composed entirely of factory
hands. Viewers, iron-workers, mill
hands and other artisans make special
ties of pansies, tulips, roses, carna-
tons, dahlias and chrysanthemums,
having their exhibitions often Saturday
evenings, the prizes frequently being
made up by subscriptions on the spot.
The pleasure these men derive from
such meetings is calculated to be and is
beneficial to their interests. Can we
not hope for the beginning of such in
terest in cultivation here? The i'm
provements in flowers keep pace with
other improvements of the nineteenth
century, and it seems that, instead of
only few families receiving the atten-
ton of introducers and raisers of new
varities, there are actually hundreds"

Literary Centennial.

As We are going through an epoch of
centennials it might be we'll to notice
the fact that it is just 100 years since
American literature took it's first start
after the revolution. The first book
published on this continent after the
peace with Great Britain was "Wattss
Psalms," edited by Joel Barlow, which
was issued in Hartford in 1885. Barlow
was then thirty. He was q native of
Connecticut, and had studied at Yale,
where in 1778 he delivered poem, en-
titled the Prospect of Peace" His
poetic talents had already attracted
notice and this led the clergy to IT,
quest that he should prepare an edition
Of Watts for public worship. He also
edited a weekly paper in Hartford called
the American Mercury, but afterward
added law to4iterature. He had how
ever, already contemplated what he con-
sidered his great poem, "The Colum-
bad" This was not completed until
the lapse of twenty years, but its incep-
ton was given in the "Vision of
Columbus" which was published the
year our government was formed.

Destroying Horns.

The horns of an animal can be de-
stroyed in embryo with very little pain
in the following manner: The small
"nubs" from which the horns will grow,
which appear on the calls head, are
cut off with o knife so that the embryo
horns can be cut away. This is done
with great ease and quite rapidly by
the use of sharp knife. The wound
is then scared with white-hot iron,
which is not painful, as the great heat
deadens the sensation, and it soon heals.
The horn is destroyed and its growth
is prevented. Considering the great
danger of injury from the horns of cat
tie. this operation is necessary one,
and as it is less painful than that of
docking lambs tails and far less pain
full than castration, any peoson who
object TO it may be thought more nice
than wise.

Save The PIGS.

Spring pigs are valuable. They are
the most certain crop from which to
make money. If they are lost from
carelessness or neglect, by cold storms,
or not we'll provided quarters for he
SOW, the profits of the year in most
cases are sacrificed. Notwithstanding
they are subject to disease, they are the
best source of individual and national
wealth. This month and next require
especial care, and if the owners would
lose few nights of sleep in providing for
their safe delivery, and comfortable pro-
visions for the first few days, no labor
or care can be better expended. At
least half the pigs are lost for want of
care. Some cannot be saved, but wise
caro- can keep most of them from per-
ishing. Each pig saved in nine months
can be made worth $40 or $12 with
slight outlay, if the farm is suitably ar
ranged for raising this valuable stock.

Boston Brown Bread.

Cassells Family Magazine for April
Make this by substituting two parts
Indian meal and one part rice -four for
wheaton flour, adding, as we'll as yeast.
a small quantity Of soda or saleratus.
It requires we'll kneading, and must rise
for five hours at least, and after it is
made into loaves they should rise an
hour longer. Bake four-pound loaf
quite three hours; the oven must be
slow.
Ordinary family bread from white
flour is generally mixed with "sponge"
made overnight. A very good recipe is
as under Half dozen potatoes
boiled and mashed while hot,
quarter-pint of brewers yeast,
two ounces white sugar, two ounces of
lard, one tea-spoonful of soda, three
cupfuls of -four (say a pint), one quart
Of warm water-that in which the pota.
toes were boiled. In mixing, add the
soda last of all. Cover lightly in warm
weather and tightly in winter. This
quantity will make up from two to
three quarts of foor-sufficient to bake
at time for q small family. The in
experienced in bread-making from
sponge in place of yeast must remem-
Der that it requires to be twice knead-
ed: first when the sponge and flour are
we'll amalgamated, then the most thor
ough kneading is necessary, and again
after the dough has risen, when ten
minutes or so will suffice. Then, az
ter putting into creased tins, or making
into rolls and laying them in one large
tin, again leave the dough near the fire
for an hour previous to baking.

Peculiarities Of the Chinese.
from the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American
But the measure of the wrong done to
China must be allowed to correspond
with the facts OF Chinese civilization.
Human life is cheaper than that of tho
horse within the borders of the empire.
Nearly four hundred millions of people
crowd It's provinces. The market value
Of life cannot be very high with q man
who will commit hari karl for trifling
insult ct q moments notice, or with an
officer who will execute an entire regi-
ment to crafty caprice. Moreover,
no nation is so cruel or SO accustomed
to cruelty as china. Torture, malig-
nant and exquisite, is the punishment for
the smallest oftense. Infanticide is
practiced with perfect impunity, and
even with tho entire justification of law
in some of the crowded districts. Is it
probable that people who will public
~ starve man to death for stealing q
coat, or cut him while living into min
ute pieces for similar offense, will be
greatly shocked by the "sickening
slaughter" at Foo Chow? May it not
be considered relief of an overcrowded
population? But this, of course, does
not lessen the justice of France, nor
does it hide the almost pathetic fact
that China is proud and knows how to
feel and resent an insulting and coward
~ attempt to Cypress her. No nation
has yet given her cause for war but
that she has courageously accepted the
wage of battle. There is, indeed, room
for the pathos which the poet of Erin
throws around the history of the Irish re-
bellions: "They went forth to war, but
they always fell"
But, again, it must be remembered
that the Chinese are of all nations over
the globe the most difficult and peculiar
to deal with. What shall we expect from
the obstinacy of a nation which in the
nineteenth century can only be induced
by force of arms to recognize by treaty,
"that England is an independent nation
and in no manner subject to the Chi
nese government" How shall we deal
with people whose very treaties re ad
backwards and from the bottom of the
page? How shall we direct our actions
in the presence of men who shake their
own hands instead of grasping yours
What steps can be taken without Of
Tense in land where" to quote the
comical complaint or Wingrove Cook,
"the roses have no fragrance and the
women no petticoats; where the laborer
has no Sabbath and the magistrate no
sense of honor; where the needle points
to the south, aud the sign of being puz-
zled is to scratch the antipodes of the
head; where the place Of honori is on
the left hand and the seat of the intel
lect is in the stomach, where to take off
your hat is an insulting gesture, and tc
wear white garments is to put yourself
into mourning"
Without doubt the Chinese are q
most extraordinary people, and all the
judgments which civilized people are
disposed to pass either upon them On
their enemies must, for especial reasons
be withheld until full and correct
knowledge of exact circumstances can
be had.
