History of the TuIip.

The tulip is native of the LeVant and
the warmer parts Of Asia, and is very
common in Syria and Palestine. In the
wear 1853 the tulip was rapidly distributed
through all parts OF Europe, being
brought from Persia by Conrad GesneF, an
eminent German physician and natural
ist. The scientific name of the tulip,
"tulipa gesnerlana,,, commentaries the
labors Of it's intrOducer. Early in the
seventeenth century the special cultiva-
lion Of particular varieties was first
prosecuted to a considerable extent in the
Ne herla nds, and the price OF the roots
~ ere higher in value than that OF the
most precious metals. In the years 1894
TO 1887 the passion Tor the posse ssiOn Of
chO &C tulips became so strong among the
Dutch, that dealing in them became one
Of the most important money specuia-
tiOns, and the bulbs were sold and resOld
at enormous prices. For one root OF the
Viceroy variety $3.50 was paid, while for
semper Augustus a. person agreed
TO give 4600 forms equal 10

new carriage and pair OF horses. An
Otner agreed to give twelve acres of land
for a single root Of this sort. AS late as
the wear 1854 Mr.. Groom, Of Chaplain,

prices: Duchess of Cambridge. Princess
Mary OF Cambridge and Miss Eliza Sc -
mOur were sold at 100 guineas each, 9th
ers at 80, 81 and 10 euneas per root. In
the following year, 1850, the whole of Mr.
GrOom's collection, which consisted OF
over 200,0 900 roots, was sold by auction, as
they stood in the rows, at very low prices,
and from this time the tulip as a show
flower declined in the public favor at a
rapid rate. The commercial value for

1t is often recommended to sow salt on
the well-brOken squares of the garden in
the early spring to prevent cut worms;
but perhaps the most etfectual means of
prevention is to keep the land thoroughly
nude of green vegetable matter in the
fall. At that season the cut worms are
very young, not able to do much travel
ing and must starye out without food.
They thrive in weedy gardens and fields,
multiplying with great rapidity, especi-
ally in rich spots crowded with tender
vegetation. Salt may drive them away
in the spring by keeping back vegetation,
but large enough then to crawl away to
some neighboring bed or locality not
sailed, they Will still raise a crop OF moths
or millens to replenish the stock IN the
egg-laying season.

Governmental Seed Shops

This is what those journals issued out
of seed-growing, or seed-dealing estab-
lishments, call the Central Agricultural
Bureau at Washington. 1t does not ap-
pear, however, that they find any objec-
ton to the department, save to its seed
distribution. The government has saved
the farmers and gardeners of the country
several millions of dollars by distributing
seeds at the cost of few hundred thou
sand dollars, and seedsmen do not like
the competition. IL might be mentioned
as another argument in favor of the de-
partment that one of the potent energies
which brought about the unparalleled ag-
ricultural prosperity that has Teigned
throughout this country during the past
ten years, was this free-seed distribution
by the government. 1t has been the
means of disseminating the best varieties
in every locality, introducing new, and
universally endowing the land with the
grandest variety of productions ever en-
joyed by any nation or people. Let the
war go on, but the department will stand.

FERTIL1zING WITH LIME.

Moreover, there is not a plant or any
part Of plant that does not contain more
or less OF the lime. This is not surpris-
ing when it is considered that as animals
feed upon plants, and the bones Of animals
contain about 80 per cent. in round num-
bers OF lime. vegetables must necessarily
contain lime; and If the soil is deficient
in its course the plants do not thrive, and
cannot, however much of the other ele-
ments of plant food the soil may contain.
For if one is deficient the plants cannot
make use Of the other. The lime also
must he soluble and it IS only soluble
practically in "A caustic, or fresh state.
and is practically insoluble in its mild or
carbOnized state. For instance, If small
quantity Of fresh lime be put into a barrel
OF soft rain water the lime is dissolved
and the water becomes hard; buff large
piece Of marble, which is carbonate Of
lime, be put into the water, the lime is not
dissolved, and the water remains soft and
pure.

because they are then weakest from the
exhaustion of bearing. The worst time
is in the spring, because they have then

Hints as to Thriving.

| Hard work, says the Metropolitan, is the
grand secret Of success. Nothing but rags
and poverty can come of idleness. Elbow
grease is the only stuff to make gold with
No sweat, no sweet. Every man must
build up his own fortune nova days.
Shirt sleeves rolled up lead on to broad
cloth.
Believe in travelling step by step; don't
expect to be rich in jump. Slow and sure
is better than fast and flimsy. Every little
helps as the SOW said when she snapped at
at gnat. Every day thread makes skein
in year. Brick by brick houses are built.
| We creep before we walk, walk before we
run, and run before we ride In getting rich
the more haste the worse speed. Haste trips
up it's own heels. Hasty climbers have
sudden falls
Make as few changes as you can; trees
often transplanted bear little fruit. If you
have difficulties in one place, you will have
them in another /; if you move because it is
damp in the valley, you will find it cold on
tbe hill. Where will you find land without
stones. or meat without bones? Stick-to-
| it is the conqueror. He who can wait long
enough will win.
| Do not be above your business. He who
turns up his nose at his work quarrels
with his bread and butter. He is a poor
smith who is afraid of his own sparks; there
is some discomfort in all trades except
chimney 1fsaiors gave up go
| ing to sea because of the wet, if bakers left
off baking be cause it is hot work, if plow-
men would not plow because of the cold,
and tailors would not make our clothes for
fear Of pricking their fingers, what pass
we should come to! Nonsense, my fine
fellow, there's no shame about any honest
calling don't Re afraid of soiling your
hand, there's plenty of soap to be had.
Plod is the word. Everyone must row with
such oars as he has, and as he can't choose
the wind he must sail by such as God sends
him. If the cat sits long enough at the
hole she will catch the mouse.
Take time by the forelock. Be up early
and catch the worm. The morning hour
carries gold in its mouth. He who dives
last in the row gets all the dust in his eyes;
rise early and you will have clear start
for the day.
Look most to your spending. No matter
what comes in if more goes out, you will
| always be poor. The art is not in making
money, but in keeping it.
| Hair by hair the head gets bald. Straw
| by straw the thatch goes Off the cottage and
drop by drop the rain comes into the cham
ber. When you mean to save begin with
your mouth there are many thieves that
go down the red lane. The ale-jug is a
great waster. Never stretch your legs
| farther than the blankets will reach, or you
will soon be cold.
| Earn all you can, save all you can, and
then give all you can Never try to save
out OF Gods cause; such money will canker
the rest. Giving to God is no loss it is
putting your substance into the best bank.
Giving is true having. as the old grave
stone said of the dead man, ''What spent
| had, what saved I lost, what l gave
have"
