FOR A FREE LIBRARY.
Trenton Citizens Moving in That
DirectiOn---Other State News.

At the meeting of the State Board
of Trade last evening A. j. Rider. OF
the Committee on Education and
Libraries, made a report in which the
committee expressed the opinion that
the time had come when Trenton
should have a free public library open
to all classes, and supported not by
public charity but by public taxation.
Mr.. Rider said that the committee had
met q committee from the Board of
Trustees of the Union Library and
found that the books were largely
,usedIby the children of the city. The
committee were inclined to lend
aid to the Women's Christian
Temperance Union for the
and tear upon their books by the
public, but found that no aid
could be given them through the city,
unless the control of the library was
given entirely over to the city. The
committee, however, thought some
action should be taken by the Board
to recompense the ladies for the use
of the books. The committee further
stated that the library is, in this age
of cheap printing and cheap books,
an indispensable adjunct to the pub
lie school. Few if any of the schools
have a library worth mentioning.
What is wanted is not q separate
library for each school, but a large
central library in charge of a conpe-
tent librarian with trained assistants.
There was no enterprise that the
Board could aid in promoting that
would yield so valuable a return to
the city.
The report will be discussed at the
next meeting.
Princeton Graduates Feast.

of the club, James w. Alexander, who

the deviced champion" in orange
and black, to the Princeton foot ball
team; President Patton, Professor
William M. Sloan, the Rev. DIR. Will
ton, Merle Smith and the Rev. Henry

In one end OF the tank also grow some

green back grounds, and blooming plants

For THE FLORAL DEPARTMENT.
Cornus Elegantissima.

Having become much interested in
reading concerning this new candidate
for public favor, last spring ordered
from the gainesville O. Nurseries a shrub
of the same, in order to more particularly
acquaint myself with it's several merits.
In it's dormant state it much resembled a
young dog wood, to which genus it is un-
doubtedly related; and as it evidently
requires but little care after transplant
ing, it soon put forth it's new shoots and
unfurled it's magnificent foliage, far out
rivaling in beauty any other variegated
shrub of which | have any knowledge.
The leaves are lanceolate, about two
inches in length, very smooth, with a
bright green centre, which is encircled by
a margin One-fourth OF an inch wide Of
snowy whiteness, rendering it at once q
very desirable object for door yard, park
or cemetery decoration. Furthermore,
it is said to be profuse bloomer, but in
regard to it's season OF blooming, and the
color of it's blossoms [ have ascertained
nothing. am equally in the dark con-
corning the place of it's nativity but I
suspect it to be OF foreign Importation.

Caucalis Microcarpa, or Rattlesnake
Weed.

My attention was called to a very in
teresting communication from "PiOneer"
in the Tribune, in the month of Septem-
Der, 1889, giving detailed account Of
the great efficiency of a plant hecalls rat
tlesnake weed, in the treatment of snak-
bites and the bites OF poisonous insects.
"Pioneer" gave the botanical name of
the plant as goodyera pubescens, but as
that plant had never been found in Cali
fornia and as the only representative of
that genus we have (goodyera menziesii)
is found in the extreme northern part of
the State and in Oregon and Washing
ton, seriously doubted the accuracy of
the name he gave.
Not knowing pioneers name Or ad-
dress, sent short note to the Tribune
expressing my doubts as to the identity
of the rattlesnake weed with goodyera
pubescens and also asking ''Pioneer" to
send me some specimens of the plant that
[ might identify it. [ have just received
from pioneer" (Mr. J. L. P. Smith)
fresh specimens of the plant he calls
rattlesnake weed, in blossom and in fruit.
find the plant to be caucalis micro
carpa, of the natural order Umbellifera.
In communication accompanying the
package of plants, Mr.. Smith says: I
have inquired OF many old Spaniards how
they got the knowledge of the virtues of
this plant in the cure of all kinds of
poisonous bites, and they say, of the
native Indians"
| think Mr.. Smith desesves the thanks
of the community for bringing the virtues
of this plant to notice.
AS the plant is quite abundant, it can
readily be obtained by any one should
there be any occasion for it's use. - III.

How to Keep Cut Flowers.

To keep cut flowers in vases, etc., fresh
for as long a time as possible, the water
in which they are placed must be kept
perfectly fresh, by frequent renewals, and
by the addition of some antiseptic like
salicilic acid, ammonia, nitrate of soda,
etc. Also the ends of the flower stalks
should be cut frequently. When cut flow
ers are to be kept for some especial use,
do not stand them in water, but wet them
thoroughly, then wrap closely in paper,
lay them in a pasteboard box and set
in q very cold place, the colder the
better, so they will not freeze. The ice box
is good place or in lieu of that very
cool cellar
Do not crowd too many stems into one
receptacle, have the vase or glass of
good size and we'll filled with water, and
keep the vase continually full by the adj
dition of small quantities of water to
make up for what is lost by evaporation.
Do not have the stems so long that they
will rest upon the bottom of the vase as
in that case they cannot absorb the
water so well. Flowers will be greatly
freshened, after having been in IL warm
room all day, if at night they are taken
from the vase, every part of them, stems,
leaves, flowers, we'll sprinkled then wrap
ped closely in a wet cloth and laid in
cool place until morning. Before they
are set away, and then again when put
ting them in the vases, cut off little bit
of the stem, as the end quickly hardens,
and the moisture is nOtreadily absorbed;
this may be done once or twice during
the day with benefit if the stems are long
enough to admit of it, and only a very
little is needed each time. A little char
coal or ammonia added to the water in
which flowers are placed will be ofbeneft.
BY removing at first all the leaves from
the parts of the stems which are in the
water the disagreeable odor occasioned
by the decaying of those leaves, will be
prevented.
Roses that have been carried Or worn
at an evening entertainment and have
dropped will revive greatly if the stems
are cut off little, then placed in water
which is almost. boiling, letting them
stand III it about ten minutes and then
removed to cold water. - Greta Beverly

Editor Floral Departments:
Why the fower-loving readers of the
AGRICULTURIsTd do notwrite more for this
department? We cannot be expected to
sustain it's interest alone and unaided.
The summer is the slack time of the
whole year-no one can plead excuses on
account of rush of work, as they can
later, and it doesn't make one perspire
very much to run pen. So seek out the
coolest corner of the house or porch, and
write something eff it isn't so bright"
We don't ask for great mental effort at
this season of the year,-our intellects
wont digest it during hot weather; like
the stomach it demands plain food at
this season. You will find our address
at the head of this department., and we
shall expect to hear from you soon. We
mean you, reader!
