had a very low opinion of her intellect, and
called her pariaite grua. He almittel
that 2he vibratei under the effect of an
emotion or impression like a vessel of flint
glass when it is struck. Every time (unless
during the brief period when he and she
had fallen OUT she went on the stage she
had been previously coached by Samson.
He often said to her: what do the words
o. your part express? Try and enter well
into their meaning" Sac humbly sub

A writer in the London Garden, re-
fcrring to the we'l-known fact that new
seeds usually germinate more quickly
than old ones, says that many old ones
will gcrminate well with heat. that
would perish in old ground. fact
which should be borne in mind by those
who are testing seeds this spring
in warm rooms. Among those which
may be kept two seasors, are named
onions, satisfy, and some others; while
lettuce, tomatoes and artichokes will
continue good three seasons; cabbage.
turnips, spinach, kaies, etc, four sea-
sons: and melons, cucumbers and
beets, for five or six seasons. 1t must.
however. be borne in mind that such
rules az these are more Or less arbi-
trary, as much depends on condition Of
the seeds, the temperature and damp
ness Of the place where they are kept,
and on the condition Of the soil which
