/ Ialways notice that the farmer who
has few flowers around his homo is
generally good one. As they cost
little or nothing, excepting little time
and trouble (Which is amply repaid by
the enjoyment they bring, | have often
wondered why more of them are moi
found growing about the farm houses.
The dahlia is very handsome for ,r
and may be easily grown. For the ben
eft of those who have never had any
experience | will give the following
hunts; Put the tubulars to sprout in a
box of dirt near the stove about the last
of April, wet them occasionally with
warm water. When the sprouts are
about four inches high separate the
tubulars so that only one sprout remains
on toe. This should be done with
sharp knife. Set out in a good, rich
ped as soon as the season will permit
(say about the middle of May). Protect
from the frost by covering them up at
night with wooden bOx-never use
tin-this should be removed during the
lay. As soon as the danger Of the
frost is over drive stout stick firmly
into the ground beside the stalk and tie
the stalk to it so the wind can not blow
it over. The soil shoul be rich, and the
plant kept well watered-th should
be put on the roots at night. Let the
plants stand two and one-half feet
apart Clip of all the blossoms as soon
as they begin to dry up-this will cause
the plant to blossom more freely. When
the tops are frozen dig the tubulars,
cut the tops of, and store them in
dry cellar where they will not freeze.
Let the support be firm and be prodigai
with the water-after wetting them
thoroughly then wet them q little more.
Follow these directions and you will b.
amply repaid for your trouble &c

Revival Of an Industrial Pastime Which
u Waa Once Very Pnnular.

Many ladies will welcome the revival
OF the cross-sttch worsted work, which
promises to regain all its old-time pop
ularity. The designs follow closely the
antique, and are in lovely, delicate
shades. Sofa pillows worked on can
vas, and strips for chair seats. footrest,
ETC., to be upholstered with rich, dark
plush, follow some of the fashionable
designs for Kensington work, and as so
many ladies are familiar with this style
of work, it is being adopted even more
than the applique work, for which one
is constantly fnding new and lovely de-
signs. A very pretty fancy at present
is the making of bags of silk handkcr-
chiefs with bright-colored borders. The
handkerchief Is first trimmed around
all four sides with white lace about two
and half inches wide. A place for q
drawing string is then made in a COM
plete circle in the handkerchief, leav-
ing about three inches of the border.

outside, the circle forming the bag part.
After the drawing string or elastic is
put in. finish with long loops of ribbon
about an inch wide. The bags are very
handsome and are also useful. Bags
are in fact seen everywhere, at the
present time, suspended from ohande-
liers or from little brass hooks beside
mantel-pieces and windows. and even
hanging from the tall backs of old
fashioned chairs. They are of all sizes
and shapes, Quite-a pretty bag is made

Typhoid Fever and Cholera.

At recent meeting Of the Paris
Academy of Medicine NJ. Alfred Du-
rand -Claye. chief engineer Of roads and
bridges, submitted some diagrams rel
ative to the epidemics Of typhoid fever
and cholera which have visited Paris in
recent years. Typhoid fever appeared
to succeed heavy rains coinciding with
high atmospheric temperature, the epi-
demlc attaining its maximum at the
time the rain ceased, the temperature
remaining high; the appearance of
cholera coincided with strong south
winds, followed by an abnormal rise of
temperature. and the epidemic ceased
with the advent of strong north winds;
the mere density Of population does
not seem to have had any influence on
the epidemic. which visited localities
where the houses are thinly scattered
and the population not very dense; but
when single dwelling was crowded.
then the mortality was most tsevere-in
lodging-houses, for instance. In each
region the mortality was less in pro-
portion as the number of sewers was
greater. Last year the maximum NOR
tally from cholera per 100, 900 inhabi-
tants in one day in each of the cities
attacked was as follows: Toulon. 72.72;
Marseilles. 1873; Naples. 94.S; Paris.

The Height of a Tree.

Any person. however ill-informed.
might easily get at the exact height of
a tree when the sun shines, or during
bright moonlight, by marking two
lines on the ground, three feet apart,
and then placing in the ground on the
line nearest the sun, stick that shall
stand exactly three feet out of the
soil. When the end of the shadow of
the stick exactly touches the furthest
line, then also the shadow of the tree
will be exactly in length the same
measurement as its height. OF course,
in such case, the sun will be at an ex-
act angle of forty-fve degrees. Meas
urements of this character could be
best effected in the summer, when the
sun is powerful, has reached to good
heigh. in the heavens, and when the
trees are clothed with living green
so as to cast a dense shadow. TO
many to whom this idea may not
have occurred, it might be made annu-
ally matter of interest, thus on warm
summer days to take the height Of
prominent trees. and so to compare
growth from year to year. Woods and

Sir Henry Thompson remarks in

to Indigestion may, perhaps, be sur
prised to learn that nine out of ten
persons SO affected are probably not
the subjects of any complaint what
ever. and that the stomach at any rate
is by no means necessarily faulty in its
action-in short, that what is popularity
termed indigestion is rarely adisease in
any sense of the word. but merely the
natural result of errors in diet. For
most men 1t is the penalty of confor-
nifty TO the eating habits of the majori-
ty; and want of disposition or enter-
prise to undertake trial Of simpler
foods than those around them consume
probably determines the continuance OF
their unhappy troubles. l have for
some years past been compelled by facts
which are constantly coming before me
to accept the conclusion that
more mischief in the form of actual dis
ease, of impaired vigor, and of short

JUNE DAYS.

The whilom hills of gray, whose tender shades
We're dashed with meager tints of early
spring,
And from the airy battlements they fling
Their banners to the wind. and in the glades
Spread rich paviions for the summer king.
Now lifts the love-lit soul, and ilfe's full tide
Swells from the ground and beats the trem-
Mounts up the sleeps, and on the landsca
Spreads like boundless ocean cyerywhere.
Delights dear dreams the dancing waves di-
And with swift sails outDy pursuing care.
The sometime fields that sad and soddeu Law.
Soaked in the nrst cold rains, or fecked with
with helpless grasses trodden in the clay
By shivering herds that wandered to and
Wave now with grain, and happy birds all day
Pipe. hidden on the slopes with flowers
ablow.
The yellow streams that fed from winter
When first the young year saw the vsrnal
And Tipped the yielding banks whose moist
encd mold
Slipped mnsling with the food. now sleep
Calm as the in aged hills which they ipfold.
All glmmerng in the long, long skies of
June.
The brindled meadow hides the winding path
With interlacing clover, white and red
The black b. rds, startled from their dewy bath
Fly chattering. joyful with imagined dread:
The while the whetting scythe foretells the
swath,
And rings the kncll of flowers that are not
dead.
Now waves of sunlight cross the fields of
wheat;
The shining crow toward the woodland flies;
A.tlA tbal larlr- l.tr
AI1 from the fence the whistling partridge
cries;
Now to the cooling shades the cows retreat,
To browse and dream with mild, half opeu-
ing eyes.
No other days are like the days in Juno;
They stand upon the summit of the year
Filled up with sweet remembrance oil the tune
That wooed the fresh spring fields; they
have a tear
For violets dead; they will engird full soon
The sweet full breasts of summer drawing
near.
Each matchless morning marches from the
east
In tints inimtable and divine;
Each perfect noon sustalns the endless feast
In which the welded charms of life combine;
Sweet evening waits till golden day, released
Shall lead her blushing down the world do
cline.
And when the day is done a crimson band E
Lies glowing ON the hushed and darkening
west;
The erongg. group. of trees like whispering spirits
The, robins song lifts from its trembling
breast:
The shadows steal out from the twilight land;
And all is peace and quictness and rest
