Morphine Parties in Paris.

small-and-early kind in the higher
couches sociales. Those invited to
such little gatherings are known to

resisting ills to which flesh is heir by
simultaneous injections of the mar

performed with a little instrument,
the manufacture of which is passing
from the surgical instrument maker
to the jeweler, and is becoming an

Forwarding Garden Vegetables.

When the gardener gives q plant a
special advantage the result of which
is to cause it to produce or mature
earlier than it otherwise would, he is
said to forward" it. Tomatoes will
bear long before frost, if the seeds are
sown in the open ground. BY sowing
seeds in hot-bed and raising the
plants, the tomato is forwarded If
the seeds were sown last fall, and the
plants kept IN hot-house to produce
fruit in the early spring, that would
be ''forcing." Cucumhers are forced
under glass, but they may also be for
warded. For illustration: to forward
the cucumber, fill some four-inch pots
with fine, rich soil, SOW half a. dozen
cucumber seeds in each, and set the
pots in hot-bed, or stand them in a box
which can be set on the sill of the
kitchen window. Another method OF
star ting the seeds. if good piece OF
turf can be had, is this: Take up a
thick, strong sod, and fit it to shall
low box with the grassy side down.
The sides of the box need not be over
three inches high. With strong
knife, cut the sod into squares, which
should be according to tile size of the
box, three or four inches square. Cut
quite down through the grass-roots and
tops, to the bottom Of the box, to mako
sure that the pieces can DO separated
readily. Sow several seeds in the
earth of each piece of sod, which is Of
course bottom or eartt-si.ie up. Set
this box OF sods in the window or in
hot-bed, as directed for the pots.
Either pots or sods must be watered
as needed. When the seeds are up and
the plants begin to show their rough
leaves, remove all but two or three in
each pot, or piece of sod. Do not pull
out the extra plants, as it will disturb
the roots of those which are TO be left,
but cut them off with knife, or pinch
them off with the thumb and finger
nails, close to the ground.--An'erican

Talk to Girls.

Girls are no more angels than men
are apes, and there are other vices be-
sides impurity, such as envy, uncharit.
ableness, malice, untruhfulness and ill.
temper. Are all the vices on our side?
Post-nuptial blackslidings are worse
than ante-nuptial dlvagAtions, and if
the balance is to be struck after mar
riage it it not easy to say on which
side it would be. There is one lesson
which we, all of us, in whatever rank
or society we may be, have to learn,
and sooner we like it the better-the
lesson of humility, of modesty, of
economy. We are no longer the lords
monopoly of capital or production.
Rents and interests will fall lower
still. Unless we realize the situation,
come down from our high horse and
moderate our views of style and ex-
penditure, very serious trouble will
overtake society. We had better give
up sneering at those dirty foreigners
and initiate little of their frugality.
But the example must be set by those
above. So long as the leaders of the
great world indulge in display, those
below spend their last shilling in an
insane attempt to be in the running.
Diamonds, lace, costly fabrics, wheth-
er for dress or furniture, long and
lavish dinner parties, heavy suppers
after balls-all these things might be
made questionable by wave of Ze-
nobia's wand. Unless some change of
this kind is made in our habits, or I'M
less some happy revolution occurs in
our economic history, there will be
fewer marriages than ever in Vanity
Frir. "--NutionoZ RevieaU. =.

John Ph9nix's Famous Fight.

A rumor had reached our ears that
the editor had arrived. Public anxiety
had been excited to the highest pitch TO
witness the result OF the meeting be-
tween us. 1t had stated publicly that
he would whip us the moment he ar
rived; but, though we thought a con-
fict proba bic, we had never been very
sanguine as to its terminating in this
manner. Coolly we gazed from the
window of the office uron the New
Town road. We observed a cloud of
dust in the distance; high above it
waved whip-lash, and we said the
editor cometh, and his driving is like
that of Jehu, the son of Nimshi, for,
he driveth furlously. Calmly we seat

tinued our labor upon our ma gnifcent

editor stood before us. We rose, and
with an unfaltering voice, said: "Well,,
how do you doP" He made no reply,
but commenced taking off his coat.
We removed ours, also our cravat.
The sixth and last round is described
by the pressmen and compositors as
having been fearfully scientific. we
held the editor down over the press
by our nose (Which we had inserted
between his teeth for that purpose),
and while our hair was employed in
holding one of his hands. we held the
other in our left, and with the sleeps
foot brandished above our head, shout
ed to him: Say, Waldo (the Wing

this moment we discovered that we
had been laboring under misunder-
standing. We write this while sitting
without any clothing, except our left
stocking, and the rim Of our hat en-
circling our neck like q ruff Of the

When to Move Bees.

Spring is the best time of the year
to move bees. The combs are not
heavy with honey, there is no hot
weather to melt the combs or s,sfto.
cate the bees, the combs are tough
with brood, and there are hut COM
paratively few bees in the hives. A
spring wagon is best to carry them,
but lumber wagon can be used if
plenty of straw is placed under the
hives and the driver is careful. If
the top of the hive is covered with
wire-cloth, it will afford sufficient
ventilation early in the season; in hot
weather both top and bottom of the
hive should be covered with WIRE
cloth. The frames should be nailed
at the ends to prevent their slipping
about. When bees are moved only q
short distance, there is usually trouble
from their returning to their former
location, If the distance that they
are to be moved is very short, it can
be accomplished by moving them only
a few inches each day; if the distance
is several rods, the bees should be
fastened in their hives. then disturbed
by drumming upon the hives, after
which they can be carried to the new
location. Before releasing them,
however, board should be leaned
against the front of each hive. Then,
as the bees come rushing out, they
strike their heads against the board,
which causes them to notice their new
location and take ''bearings' as they
leave for the fields. Remove as many
landmarks as possible from the old
location, and if necessary, keep
smouldering, smoking fires burning
for few hours upon the place pre-
ylously occupied by the .hives.-A,oeri.

How Dynamite Is Obtained

Mr.. Poland, in the course Of his OBJ
servations at the Bow street police
court yesterday respecting the late
dynamite outrages, mentioned tsAtlas
dynamite as the material used: de-
scribing it as s'species Of ligneous
dynamite Of q very powerful charac-
ter, of American manufacture, made
at chemical works at Philadelphia
This dynamite, according to one Of the
New York papers, is manufactured
only by the Repanno Chemical COM
pany, whose factory is in New jersey.
on the Delaware river, opposite Ches-
tor, Pa. Mr.. Hamlin, the. New York
agent of the company, expressed his
opinion to a reporter the other day
that the dynamite used for effecting
some of the recent London explosions
was stolen from southern port and
struggled into England. Dynamite,
he said, is used in making the Panama
canal, and it would not be difficult to
get it from Panama. Speaking on the
same subject, Mr.. George Small, gen
eral agent of the Atlantic Dynamite
company, stated that it was a very
easy matter for the Irish to get dyna.
mite. "Nearly all the men employed
in blasting" he said, ''are Irish. One
of them might take a cartrige or two
away with him every day until he had
hundred pounds, or quantity that
if put together would make package
about 16 inches long, 10 inches thick,
and Is INCHES wide. That would be
enough to shake the postoftice if it
were put in the middle of the build
ing. I think he added, lit is impossi-
bic to regulate the sale of dynamite.
Laws on the subject would have less
effect than prohibition laws have on
the sale and use OF whisky" Yet,
unless some means are devised for
bringing the dynamite market under
some kind Of control, the future of this
world, or all that is suffered to remain
in it, is one that can not be contem.
plated without general anxiety.-St.

Early Peas.

Z ~
There are some vegetables which
we. can buy in market as good % va
can grow at home. Peas are NOT one
Of them. We getpeas from tho South.
and they are very fair, but lack the dol
icacy of those from our own garden.
It is desirable, therefore, to get peas.
as early as possible. The sweet, wrink-
led peas are not, and never will be, as
hardy as the smooth varieties. The
same is true OF sweet corn; the extra
early kinds are not as sweet as the
later varieties; but, like peas, they are,
very good until we get something bet
ter. The small, hardy varieties of
peas, like the Early Kent, will stand
rough treatment. They can. be sown
the moment the frost is out of the sur:
face soil, and after they ara up, it 4 is
seldom, if ever, that they are serious
ly injured by frost. A warm, sandy
soil is desirable, VITA southern ex-
posure, and if an the eastern or south
ern side of a wall or board fence or
building, SO much the better The
soil can hardly be too rich. 1t is q
mistake to spade fine, light, sandy
land deep for early peas. The surface
soil, which has been exposed to the
sun isGpany degrees warmer than the
soil below, which has only just thawe1.
The later varieties, planted when the
soil is dry and warm, can be. covered
with two, three, four, or even FIVE
inches of soil, deeper or shallower as
the soil is heavy or light; but the
small, early peas should rarely be
covered over two inches deep, and it
the soil is wet and cold, an inch Is
sufficient. As soon as the peas appear.
draw some earth up to the row with q
hoe or rake, and if the soil is dry and
light, half an inch or 50 of soil may be
pulled between or over the peas. If
the soil is moist and heavy, it may be
we'll to scatter little stable manure
on the side and on the top of the row.
a board placed edg ewise on the north
side of the row will reflect the rays of
the sun.
Another method of fastening early
peas is to soak them in warm water
for twenty-four hours ana then mix
them with moss or light sand and keep
them warm and moist until they
sprout. Then SOW them in the ordi-
nary way-using plenty of seed. We
have sown them when sprOuted an
inch long. but it is better, if the wealth
er is not suitable, to check the growth
of the peas in the house by placing
them in cellar or other cold place.
If the land is rich, thick planting is
desirable, as it favors early maturity.
We make the row three or four inches
wide and deep, and sow the peas in
the rows, for their whole width, al
most as thick as they will lie without
touching each other.--Anae71ca7e Agri,
culturist for ApriI.

There was a very decided change in the
tone of the stock market to-day from that
which has ruled for several days past. Con-
siderlng the character of the news that was
keptin eTcu alton yesterday, and the amount
of hammerng that was done, the market ex-
hibited a great deal of inherent strength, but
still it closed with a net loss of 15Gl% per
cent, while to-day's market establ'shed ad-
vances of l to over 3 per cent. 1t is SAID to-
day that protracted meeting of some of the
leading bankers and operators who have been
conspicuous in the advances II the past three
months was held last night, and it as then
decided to give the market such support rs
might be found necessary to insure sub
stantial check to the decline of The past few
DAYS. Nearly everything on the active list
was strong at the opening this morning, first
prices showing advances from the final figures
! esterday of small fractions 10 over per
cent, aud with the exception Of moderate
reactions during the first hour the movement
was persistently upward all day. The lowest
prices were made either at the opening or
within the first half hour, and the highest
prices were established either at or shortly
before the close. Vanderbilts exhibited the
greatest strength, Lake Sh re making a net
gain OF ~ per cent, while New York Central
and Michigan Central are up SM per cent
each. There was little news of interest atloat
on the street Of character to influence ecu
lation until late In the afternoon, when 1t was
announced that the West Shore had been sold
at Newburgh to j. PIerrepont Morg n. This
was signal for a further decided advance in
New York Central and Lake Shore, each OF
which rose over l per cent. In the last hour on
very heavy transactions. The re t of the ac-
tive list responded promptly, and the mark It
closed active and strong. So. Paul led the list
