The agreeable fashion Of burning
pasti!lcS and fragrant herbs in rooms that
are apt 10 grow '.stulIy' in damp weather
is almost substitute for fire on the
hearth. which purihcs and cheers the
whole house. Ever since the mania for
Japanese decoration came in there has
been a demand for the delicious paslilles,
or ''rccds,' which are the condensation
of Eastern fragrance, and their use has
brought about greater love for aromatic
odors of n refined and purifying nature.
The subtle sweetness pcrmcating articles
that come from China or Japan will last
for years and affect the atmosphere, not
merely of the room they are in, but of the
entire house. There is not Rimmcl or
l.ubin in Europe that can produce this in
toxicating, and, if one may say so, high
bred perfume from the Orient, try as he
may. A bunch of japanese pastilles,
smoldering one at time in little in
ccnsc burner, will last several weeks,
while for olfactories dislising any per-
fumc, however delicate, bit of gum
camphor or a little stack of pine needles
produces most refreshing odor while
burning. Pine needles can be gathered
by the bushel and kept all winter to be
thrown on coal fires in city houses or
burned by themselves in one of those lit.

is famous. Chicdg0 Herald.

says that il is bad practice in cuttin.
asparagus to leave the small shoots that urc
not large enough for use. The better way
is to cut Ill oil clean, until the middle Of

and The plants be allowed to make their
sumnler growth. The old practice OF
planting the roots deeply below the SIR
face, and cutting ihc shoots as soon ns
they pushed through the ground, with

TREATMENT OF YOUNG CHICKENS.

The young chickens should not DC
stintcd in their diet until after the downy
coverings have gone, and n good coat of
feathers has appeared. The mnulting sea-
son is another critical time in their lives,
and if they are not generously supplied
with good wholesome food they are liable
to sickcn and die from little exposure or
change in the weather The strong It's
sues OF the body are now being formed
and they should be literally supplied
with cgg-shells, oystcr-shclls, or bones.
Their craving for such food will manifest
itself at once. The egg-shclls should be
dried before the fire, and then ground rs
timely as corn-mcal. The oyster and clam
shells should be pounded and crushed in
the same way. The bones should be burnt
and crushed as far as possible, and the
whole mixed up together. If distributed
around the yard where the chickens have
been accustomed TO find food they will
eat freely Of this mixture every day. TO
be very particular about the food it would
be an improvement upon this plan to mix
the ground shells and bones with. corn
meal, and cook the mess before the fire.
Add little linsced meal, and feed the
chicks with it every morning. Such a
diet as this supplies the chickens not sim
ply with fat, but with the elements neccs-
sary for the growth of feathers, bone and
muscle. If they are not allowed to roam
about in woods and fields they should
have choppcd-up fresh vegetables.
Usually the tops Of vegetables that arc
thrown away before using on the tablS
will do for this. Such dict, l think

A Humorous Plant.

good-natured plant has been dis.
covered, one which has the same desire
as Punch is supposed to feel, namely, to

resembling French bean in size and

odor. Small doses of the pulvcrizcd
seeds give rise 10 peculiar manifestations.
The person laughs boisterousiy, sings,
