Now am rarely troubled in that way. have of late years selected 6 sunny situation for the planting of the bulbs, and I always have the ground manured and well ploughed under the fall previous. Then in spring have it we'll spsded to good depth, and the ground thoroughly pulverized. I believe firmly in deep planting; the bulbs attain a greater size and are better enabled to endure some of the severe droughts which visit so many portions of our country. If you have number of bulbs, plant in rows from four teen to eighteen inches apart and four in. ches apart in the row, and make it rule to thoroughly cultivate between the rows until the leaves are too high to admit of it. never allow @ weed to be seen, neither do I plant any low-growing plants between, such as alyssum, etc., as mulch.

A dry, frost-proof cellar is all they require, and that is no more than is required for the commenest vegetable. put mine in cloth bags and hang to the cel- lar ceiling to keep from mice.

The Teacher Let that Boy Alone.


 It is universally admitted that the small boy who has penchant for bugs and insects and reptiles is the worst variety of boy. There is one of this sort in Atlanta who is sn ornament to his peculiar order of small boy He spends his afternoons and all of his spare time, of which he seems to have a good SUD- ply, in foragiug in the country for bugs and lizards. Every morning hs takes in his pockets to school the results of his last raid. Monday the specimens of insectiferous and reptilisn life that he can fish up from the depths of his trousers pockets are many and varied, and awful to touch and look at. Last week the teacher took an inventory of the bugs and beasts found in his pockets, or that escaped therefrom and terrified the other ohildren-and the teacher.
 There were several varieties of beetles pi- geons with broken wings, English sparrows, butter flies, devilhorses, slugs, snails, earth worms, lizards, snake or two and an occa- sional frog, damp and cold One day he slyly opened the flap of his pocket, and then went on in his hard, resolute effort to make his teacher think he was studying After awhile the teacher noticed a grasshopper hopping agilely from desk to desk amid the litter and tee bee of the scholars. A chase was begun, when another graEshopper WAS seen, then another, and they were every- where hopping all over the room and stick ing their sharp feet in the little girls hair, frightening them half to death.
 fCome here" shouted the teacher to the tender lover of insects, as she reached for a ferule. ''Give me your hand, sir' The naturalist held out his hand as if he was martyr to science. The teacher was about to seize it when she caught sight of two green eyes that flashed at her from the boys hand and a sharp forked tongue that seemed to dart into her face. The boy had a snake coiled around his arm. He was no, feruled and the teacher has not felt well since.

Aylesbury Ducks,

[English Correspondence Country Gentleman1 In this country, at least, the Aylssbury is
 regarded, and rightly, as the most profitable
 of all varieties of ducks. Though it is
 hardly 90 prolific the Pekin in number of
 eggs laid, and though it does not attain the size of the Rouep, yet for early marketing it is certainly the most profitable, for it can be made fit for the table very rapidly indeed, and will attain killing weight some weeks sooner than either of the breeds named. Most of the ducklings marketed in the spring are under eight weeks old, and I have frequently killed ducklings of the age named weighing to Az pounds. Only rapidly maturing bird could grow to this size in the time named, and this is the great feature of the Aylesbury duck. Consequent- ly it has special quality of it's own, and in the early part of the year, when every days delay in marketing may mean a reduction in price realized, this is the most important matter. Dueklings increase in value until the last week in May, when they take the converse track, and the difference in returns ot May 15 and June 15 is remarkably great. Therefore, as the fact is, if Aylesbury and Rouen ducklings were matched on the same date, the former in time to be ready by May 15, the latter would probably not be ready until June 15, so that the advantage the Aylesbury has is most apparent. In com mon fairness, 1t must be mentioned that the Rouen attains 8 much greater size when old- CT, and for Christmas ducks it is usually preferred. In fact, each breed has it's own place. Hence we find that nearly all the ducks bred in the Vale of Aylesbury are for the early markets.
 The Ayleebury is most valuable for cross- ing, and exercises very great influence in improving the quality of flesh and the early maturity of the progeny. Some time ago breeder told me that by crossing Aylesburys into his Pekins he obtained birds two pounds heavier at the same age than the pure Pek- ins. Such result is important, for the req sons already stated

THE CHEMICAL BANK.
One of she Great Institutions of the me-
 tropO1Is.

One of the Great Institutions of the Me tropoIIs.
 From the New York Journal of Commerce.l The Chemical bank was originally the banking department of the Cemical Nanu- featuring company, incorporated by act of the New York Legislature in 1893, with banking privileges. This company carried on its manufacturing business on West Thirty-frst street, near the Hudson river, on the spot where the depot of the New York Central Railroad company afterward stood. The banking business WAS carried on at No 216 Broadway. The first president of the corporation was Mr Melleck, who was succeeded by John Mason on April 1, 1883. Mason died in 1888 and was succeeded by Isaac Jones, John Quentin Jones becoming cashier of the bank. In 1s44, when the first charter expired, the bank was reorgan- ized under new charter with 8 capital of $Soo,o0o in SlO0 shares. John Quentin Jones became president of the newly incor- porated bank. The policy adopted was to manage the business with small capital and gain the confidence of the public by aecumu- lsting @ large surplus. Accordingly no divi- dsnds were paid during the first five years. In 1S49 dividend paying began. The divi- dends increased rapidly until they amounted
 
 additional 10 per cent at the end of the year. These were the dividend rates for several years prior to January 1, 1888, since which time the practice has been to pay % per cent every two months, or at the rate of 150 per cent per annum. Meanwhile the surplus had increased until it amounted to $3, ,500,000 in 1882, and, according to re- cent statement of the clearing house, to more than $5, ,000, ,000 now. The stone build ing now occupied by the bank at the corner of Broadway and Chambers street was built for it's use in 1850 and enlarged in 1873. Very soon after the institution of the nation- al banking system the bank became the Chemical National bank, but it does not is- sue circulating notes. The capital remains at $500, ,Oo0. The undivided profits are near ly $1, 900, ,000, deposits average more than $20, ,0e0, ,000, and the stock, though sales are not often made, is quoted at $4,020 for the par of $100. The president of the bank is now George Gilbert Williams.

 Boulangism is only the expression of the dissatisfaction of all classes in France with the republic and it's leaders, and another in- stance showing how easily the masses may be deceived and led astray. The prime caus- ses for the establishment of Boulaugism lay in the universal contempt in which all the republican leaders with the exception of Freycinet, are held in France, and every day the newspapers reassert the truth.

BALLOON ADVENTURES. Prof. King Gives Some Interesting Experiences Way Up In the ClOuda.

=
 Experiences Way Up in the Clouds.
 [From the Nashville Amsricanl
 To some extent rain retards upward prog ress, but have made number of ascensions in the face of storms. Snow, however, is much more of an obstacle, and in short time will accumulate upon the top of the balloon sufficiently to drive it to the earth.
 The clouds are sometimes as much as ], 1000 feet from top to bottom when the sky is en- tirely overcast. Often even above such a body of clouds may be seen smaller clouds with clear spaces in between. When within one of these spaces the sensation is that of being in @ vault. With the solid snowy clouds below you and the smaller clouds around you being by perspective brought close around, it appears as if you were in & cavern.
 I have been above the clouds during a snowstorm, and the light of the moon shin ing 50 brightly through the rarified air, pro. duced an illumination rather supernatural have very frequently passed through frozen clouds. This is where vapor has fallen be- low the freezing point, and being congealed into substance resembling flour in appear. ance. This falls, and in doing so reaches a higher temperature, where the small particles, are aggregated into fakes of snow.
 I have never known of an instance in which ballon was hit by lightning. The thunder does not make perceptibly greater noise than when you are on the ground. The souad proceeds from the upper layers of clouds, as does also the rain; and in many cases, when the lower strata appear very vii olent, perfect quiet there reigns, except for such motion as is produced by the rain fall ing through from above. The upper cur rents are most active, and a cyclone or a wild storm is perhaps produced according as those upper currents descend to or remain above the earth,
