The Tulip, Crocus and snowdrop.

The best soil for the culture of the tulip
is rich, rather strong, well-drained loan.
A bed of sufficient re for the bulbs should
be dug at least twelve inches deep. The
bulbs should then be placed six inches
apart each way, and pressed into the soil
deep enough to keep them in their places,
then covered with soil to the depth of three
inches on the sides of the bed and five
inches in the centre. This precautiOn is
necessary that water may not stand on
the bed during winter. The bed should
be mulched TO prevent alternate freezing
and thaWing. When the flowers appear
ii they are protected from the sun by a
light canvas the period of bloom will be
longer. The colOrs are generally better if
not shaded at all, but in that case the
bloom would soon be over. Sometimes a
single hot dav completely spoils them.
When the flowers begin to fade they should
be cut away aud removed from the bed,
as the faded flower seems to seriously at
feet the foliage, causing disease, besides
the ripening OF the seeds Injuries the bulb.
AS soon as the leaves of the tulip turn
yellow the bulbs should be taken up and
stored In cool dry place until time for
replanfing.
Tulips may remain in the ground year
after year without injury, but for the fact
that the new bulbs form at the base of the
old one, consequently they get deeper in
the soil each year, until finally they get
so deep that they fail to come up at ALL

To Remove Foreign Bodies from the


Before resorting to any metallic instru-
ment for this purpose, DR.. {. ID. Agnew
American Practitioner, May, 1884 would
advise you to use an instrument made in
the following manner: Take a splinter Of
soft wood, pine OF cedar, and white it
into the shape of probe, making 1t about
the length of an ordinary dressing probe.
Then take a small, loose flock OF cotton
over the end of the stick, winding it round
and round, so as to make it adhere firmly.
If you will look at the end of such probe
with a tw0-inch lens on will see that it
is quite rough, the fibres of cotton making
a file-like extremity, in the midst of which
are little interstices. AS the material Is
soft il will do no harm to the cornea when
brushed over it's surface.
When ready to remove the foreign body
have the patient rest his head against
your chest, draw the upper lid up with
the forefnger of your left hand and press
the lower lid down with the middle finger,
and then delicately sweep the surface in
which the foreign body Is embedded with
the end of the cotton probe. When the
foreign body is lodged in the centre of the
cornea it is most important not to break
up the external elastic lamina, for if you
do opacity may follow, and the slightest
opacity in the centre of the cOrnea will
cause a serious diminution in the sharp
ness of vision.

there will be a howl raised Damages to the ex-
tent of good many million dollars were caused
by the burning of Aspinwall, and it looks very
much as if the government would be compelled
to foot the bill. We guaranteed to keep the
transit open. Colombia could not do it, and, in
the event of its failure, the responsibility rested
on our shoulders. We opened the transit, but
before that was done Aspinwall was burned The
people who suffered will expect remuneration,

BLOOMINGTON, Nov. 9.-Judge Pilsbury, of
the Circuit Court, to-day rendered his decision
in the case of Julia Blackwell vs. State Board of
Education, which has excited great attention,
since the matter about which the suit has arisen
was one of the most exciting topics of the last
Legislature. Thirty years ago E. w. Blackwell
decided forty acres of land to the normal school
as donation, with the stipulation that agricult-
ural chemistry be taught This was not done,
and Blackwell asked the board to deed it back to
him nine years ago. This was refused, steadily,
and finally the last Legislature passed a joint
resolution ordering the board to convey the land
to Mrs. Blackwell The board still refusing,
Mrs. Blackwell applied to Judge Pillsbury for a
writ of mandamus to compel the board to con-
vey the land. Pillsbury decides that the writ
shall issue and upsets the main point of the
board, viz: that joint resolution is insufficient
authority and that bill is required in such
cases.

The other day an individual tottered into a
street-car where the Secretary was riding. The
first thing he did was to throw dollar through
the opening in the front door By and by the
driver passed back the change done up in a little
package. The drunken man showed them in his
pocket Pretty soon the driver opened the door
and called out sharply: "Put in your fare" The
drunken man stared but didn't move. People
began to litter. Never mind" said Mr.. Lamar,
looking benevolently at the befogged passenger,

nickel In the box. The situation was still misty,
out the drunken man recognized that in some
way the Secretary had done him a friendly act
he EXTENDED his hand, and Mr.. Lamar shook 1t.
saying: 'Thats all right
The drunken man gazed steadily and earnestly
at his benefactor for nearly five minutes. Then
broad grin spread over his face as he reached
out his hand and said: How dye do, General
Butler; thought know'd yer; fit with yer az

Mr.. Lamar accepted the hand again. but with
less suavity. Il knowd yer" continued the
drunken man, and he kept on grinning while peo-
pie began to smoker.
II don't think he takes me for Ben Butler, do

friend who sat beside him. The Secretary
wasn't left long in doubt, for, after another
hard look, the drunken man delightedly pointed
to his left optic, and broke out with: "Got yer

which followed him.
