A UHIFORM RANKRUPT Law.

a OP1F VkAU BAN n N OE = La W.
The need of uniform bankruptcy law has
been long felt in this country, but 1t must be
confessed that the attempts which have been
made to supply that need have not been very
successful. Another attempt is about to be
made, and It promises we'll. A drafted bill,
which has been endorsed by several COM
meroial and legal organizations, and has just
been endorsed by the national Board of
Trade, in session at Louisville, embedies the
essential qualities of good bankrupt law,
all that appeared in the defeated measure of
1884, and provides with sufficient force
against abuses that might.have been possible
under that measure as amended by the SEN
ate. Under 1t the offices of referee and
trustee are created. Referees are to be ap-
pQiHEd by the appellate courts for service,
kdrsuant to instructions from the courts of
bankruptcy, and the powers of the referees
shall be the same as courts for requiring the
production of evidence, their salary of one
Thousand dollars per year and ten dollars per
case to be paid out of the United States
treasury. Trustees are to be appointed by
the courts of bankruptcy, pursuant to nomi-
nations by creditors at their meetings. The
duties of the trustees are to be mainly to ac-
count for all interest received, collect and re-
duce to cash the assets of estates under di'
rection of the court, pay dividends, etc. The
fees of trustees are to be Ave per cent. on the
first five Thousand dollars paid out in divi.
dends, two per cent. on the second, and one
per cent. on additional amounts The mum
ber of referees are not to exceed for any State
the number of its representatives in Congress
A referee is not to be appointed for any cour1
unless there are fifty or more cases pending
therein to be administrated. Whenever the
number of cases pending before referee Ii
less than ffty, suoh referee is to be removed
and his cases and territory to be divided be
tween other referees or be administered BY
the court.
OF course the bill will need some amending
but as q whole 1t seems to bswell constructed

where men have eaten picked up, washing
day dinners once week for years, and lived
to be reckoned as among the Oldest inhabl-
tants.
Living to eat is not the highest kind Of en-
joyment. When dyspepsia takes hold OF
your stomach, and the demon Indigestion
gets good grip on you, you will realize the
truth Of this assertion. When you feel "a il
there was q kerosene lamp turned on at full
blast in your epigastric region, and when
the numberless aches and pains that arise
from defective digestion rack your brain and
send needle pricks all over your body, you
will not care whether the dinners are old or
new, fresh or otherwise, and you will won
der that ever you made such fuss over your
wife's economies Of cold victuals warmed
over.
Take it with philosophy. Itstands to rea-
son that woman cannot always be cooking.
And it is sinful to waste things. And in ev-
cry family there must necessarily be cold
victuals. They must be worked up some
how.
Come bravely to the front and accept the
situation. Eat the cold ham with relish.
Be thankful for the bread pudding and hap
py over the hash. Console yourself with the
thought that you are doing your duty in eat
ing the soup concocted from yesterday q
roast.
Smile over the cold victuals, and be glad
to greet them like old friends in new guise.
You will be happier than you will be If you
grumble over the unavoidable, and your wife
will tell her less fortunate female friends
how good you are, and all the women in
town will wish they had a husband like you.
Don't you see?'

A writer in an English Magazine has been
studying the effects upon men of the total
exclusion Of women, Women are unknown
among the large society of monks at Athos,
in European Turkey, and yet, in spite OF the
absence Of their reinements and graces, moth
ing can exceed the hospitality and gentleness
of manner of these religious devotees. Many
Of the monks who were carried to the penin-
sula in early life have entirely forgotten what
woman is like, and society has never been
exposed in the smallest degree to the modi-
foations which her influence always effects.
1t is land Of peace, and anything in the
nature of disorder and confusion is un-
known. Yet the absence of natural asso-
citation of the sexes appears to tell upon the
people, and they exhibit . strange sadness
and depression, which is painfully noticeable
by strangers. The conclusion drawn by the
writer is not unfavorable to the women.

In the Summing Up OF Lifetime H0sn
and stale Bread Are Not Important.
From Kate Thorn In New York WeekyI
The representative man breads cold viet-
uals.
He breads picked up dinners. He groans
at the thought of yesterdays cabbage and
corned beef, served up for to-day's entertain
ment. He sees no reason why the women
folks should not be able to get up freshly
cooked dinners every day; he cannot under
stand how 1t is that washing day must inev-
itably bring to the dinner table miscel-
laneous collestion of odds and ends, which
he is expected to eat 10 silence and graft
tude.
He feels wronged. He feels that 1t was
mistake that he was born. He wishes he had
the wealth of a. Rothscsild. SO that he could
board at the Fifth Avenue hotel, and never
be obliged to eat picked up dinners.
Perhaps he grumbles. Good men often do
under such circumstances. It relieves their
feeling, and the wives expect 1t and are not
| disappointed.
A woman, on the contrary; has q sort of
| lurking fondness for cold victuals. She likes
| to warm things over, and rehash them, and
| dress them up anew, and she takes pride in
doing It.
If she succeeds in making something out of
nothing she is happy. And when she has
stewed the roast turkey up into soup, and
baked the fricasseed chickens into pie, and
made the roast beef into ragout, she feels
| like the embodiment of economy, and she be-
| lieves that nothing short of new silk dress
would be sufficient recompense for her skill
full management.
Cold victuals are sure to bring company to
dinner. When there is nothing but yester-
days dinner for to-day, look out for hungry
visitors. Did you ever notice that the less
you have cooked the more likely you are to
have somebody come for whom you care, and
who is blessed with good sppetitea
When such thing happens bear 1t with
equanimity. Life is not all eating. There
is something else besides. Don't make apol-
ogies fer the cold pudding. Don't fret if the
bread is stale. People have eaten cold pud.
ding and stale bread and survived it. There
are many well authenticated cases on record

The National Temperance Lecture bureau
of Philadelphia proposes to institute asystem
of temperance lectures, with view to Great
ing a sound public opinion on the subject of
temperance This is move in the right di-
rection.
Philadelphia is "the city of homes," and
the public schools of the city are conducted
in such way as to help keep it 30. They are
now teaehin9 10000 girls how to sew, and
about the same number are also being
taught, at the public expense, the art of
cooking.
The State Farmers league in Massschu-
setts, lately formed to secure the election of
a agovernor and legislature who will favor a
bill prohibiting the coloring of oleomargar-
inc to resemble honest butter, appears to be
In earnest. The candidates for governor
have been asked to commit themselves, and
DIR. Blackmar and William E. Russell have
come out on the side of the farmers, while
Mr.. Brackett has so far failed to respond. 1t
is said that 30, 900 farmers are actively con-
cerned in this matter.
In a village in the canton of Lucerne,

Feather Grass.

Among the small growing ornamental
grasses grown in the hehorder. there is none
so beautiful as Stipa pennata, and none
less commonly seen. It's common name
is Feather Grass, and it's long, graceful
awns or boards are SO prettily feathered
as to remind one of the splendid plumes
of Bird of Paradise. 1t is largely grown
in France, and we are told that some
French ladies wear the feathered boards
as substitute for feathers, and this was
done in England many years ago. The
plant is native Of England.
The Feather Grass is used among us for
winter bouquets, and for this purpose is
largely imported from France, some of the
plumes being dyed, the natural beauty of
the plumes dying out in the process.
Some people, if let alone, would paint
polished marble statue with the idea of
making it more beautiful. There is no
reason why this handsome grass should
not be grown here in sufficient quantity
to supply the home demand. 1t is easily

Bedding Plants.
Editor. Floral Department:

Editor Floral Department.:
Let me fecommed to the readers of
your department, who are in search of
bedding plants which will meet the re-
quirements of this State, the Blue and
White Ageratums. Having grown them
during the past season on high, dry,
sandy soil (poor at that), with very good
success, feel that they are highly deserv-
ing of a kind word. My plants were not
put out until March, of last year, when,
you will remember the ground was very
dry: [ Watered few times and then left
them to take care of themselves. Per-
fectly undaunted they took right hold,
put out vigorous growth, and in very
few weeks from planting were almost
covered with bloom
Unless my memory fails me the top
proved herbaceous, though may be mis-
taken and the frost cut them down, but
at any rate they sprouted readily this
spring and again please the eye with
their profusion of bloom. Ny opinion is
that this is a good serviceable plant for
this country.
Among other good things are the Por-
tulacas, Petunias, Zinnias, ETC., although
perhaps not generally classed as bedding
plants. The former especially seems to
exult in hot, dry soil and has very
pleasing effect.
A little experimenting, inexpensively
conducted, will result i'll vastly greater
amount of success than is attained by
sending toNorthern florists for thecostly
novelties with fowery descriptions.

vile. This species is also said to thrive
best on high well drained soil.
B. Mana is another hardy species, dwarf
and broad leaved.
OF B. Argentea Strata Mr.. E. FL. Hart
says: "A clump of this is a graceful and
picturesque object; at first the canes are
short and slender, but each crop Of new
ones is larger than the preceding, until
they are as thick as corn stalks of the
largest size, some of them with the foliage
beautifully striped with green and silver
The stalks are fifteen or twenty feet long,
spreading out like a fan, so that the top
must be twenty-five to thirty feet across.

degree by frost.
MAMMOTH ROSE BUSH.
Among other interesting objects Mr..
Perkins took us to the home of a native
Floridian to see an enormous Agrippina
Rose bush and although he had prepared
us for wonderful sight we were more
than surprised for we had never imagined
a rose could assume such proportions. 1t
must have been five or six feet high, and as
many in diameter, OF a regular oval shape,
and completely covered with hundreds of
buds and flowers in all stages of develop
ment In the same yard was an enor-
nous Pink Daily Rose, the stem at the
surface of the ground being nearly six
ular in shape nor near so full of flowers
as the Agrippina.

Sowing Fine Seeds.

Seeds of Achimenes, Begonias, Gesne-
rias, ETC., are exceedingly small, so small
that their form can scarcely be distin-
guished with the naked eye. Skill is there
fore required to raise plants from them.
The soil should be of such character that
it will not bake. Woods earth, composed
largely of leaf-mould and sand, does very
well. 1t should be partially dried and
carefully sifted through a fine seive A
flower saucer is the best vessel in which
to SOW such seeds. Fill it with the sifted
soil till even with the margin, then jar the
saucer to settle the soil, and with a
smooth block press it until the surface is
as smooth and level as planed board.
Now press rows, with the edge of the block,
just deep enough to be distinguishable,
and in these rows scatter the little seeds
evenly but thinly. To do this take a sheet
of smooth note paper, turn up the edges,
and crease one end slightlyto makea run
for the seeds; then shake the paper along
the row so that the seeds will be distribu-
ted as desired. After sowing place the
saucer in another saucer of larger size,
and pour warm water into the outer
saucer. The pores will soon admit the
water to the soil. When moist enough
raise the inner saucer until it stands out
of the water, or empty the outer saucer.
Water by this means, keeping the soil
merely mOist-not wet Cover with thick
dark paper until the seeds start, then
remove the paper and cover with glass,
raised half inch or more above the edge
of the saucer, so that air may be admitted
around the margin of the saucer. Never
cover such small seeds. Be very careful
not to keep the soil too moist, and equally
careful not to let it dry out. This caution
with reference to watering should be OBJ
served until the plants are quite large.
Darkness promotes termination, but is
injurious to plants. Be careful, therefore,
to uncover the seed vessel and admit
light as soon as the seeds gerlninate. AS
the seeds are always in full view when the
cover is off, you can readily tell when ger
mination is affected. Admit light grad
ualy to the young plantlets,. and never
allow the direct rays of the sun upon
them. AS soon as large enough prick
them out into larger vessels, where they
will not be crowded. A small-bladed pen
knife can be used for that purpose. 1t is
interesting to raise plants from such tiny
seeds, and those who have sufficient skill
and experience need have no fear of being
unsuccessful. But the novice in floricult-
ure had better SOW larger seeds first, and
gradually acquire experience until success
with the smaller seeds is assured.

JAPAN IVY.

JAPAN IVY.
The Japan Ivy (Ampelopsis tricuspi-
data, A. VeitchI is one of the most beau
tiful climbers in cultivation, and has been
cultivated and highly appreciated at the
North for some years 1t appears to
thrive equally well here and should there
fore be more universally cultivated.
About one year ago we set out small
root at the southeast corner Of the house,
the two or three shoots being just long
siding. By fall it had made about ten
feet of growth; then the leaves turned the
most gorgeous colors before falling Off
1t put out finely this spring and is MAX
ing rapid growth, forminga mass of un-
broken foliage. The beautiful shining
leaves lap over each other with almost
the regularity of shingles. 1t climbs by
the means of small dish-like suckers, which
attach themselves tenaciously to wood,
stone or brick, but on the smooth surface
of hard pine siding some of the shoots oc-
casionally need the aid of tack or anar-
row strip OF heavy paper tackled over
them. On unplaned wood it requires no
such aid.
One end of the residence of Mrs. E. D.
M. Perkins, Of Crown Point, Orange coun-
.ty, is completely covered with this beau
tiful climber and the English Ivy, both
having mounted above the second story.
BAMBoOs.
In Mrs. Perkins yard is magnificent
clump of very large growing Bamboos,
the beautiful green, polished stems rising
to height of twenty or more feet and
with their mass of fairy foliage resem bling
high ostrich plumes. This may be Bam-
busa Vulgaris, of which Won Mueller says:
''The large unarmed Bamboo Of Bengal.
1t rises to height of seventy feet, and
the stems may attain a length even of
forty feet in one season, though the
growth is slower in cooler climes. 1t has
proved to be capable of resisting occa-
sional night frosts. 1t is the best for
building bamboo houses"
Mr.. Perkins originally procured two
roots, one of which he set in moist ham,
mock soil on the banks of branch"
where, according to the usual theory in
regard to bamboos, it had ought to have
done it's best but it has made hardly
any growth. He kindly presented us with
a fine root, which we brought home, di.
vided and set them on high, dry land.
One has already sent up three and the
other five or six shoots.
The bamboos are highly ornamental
and very striking class of plants, and
should enter much more largely into the
planting of Florida grounds.
B. Metake is a very hardy Japanese
species, hardy as far north as Jackson
