"A sponge large enough to expand
and fill the chimney after having been
squeezed in, is the best thing with
which to clean lamp chimney. Tie
the sponge to slender stick, and after
once being put in, it need not be taken
out until the chimney is thoroughly
washed with soapsuds and rinsed, as
fresh water can be constantly poured
through the chimney.

Most herbs that are grown in water
are of no use the next season for flower
ing. The process of roofing them in
water seems to have destroyed their
vitality. We presume the Chinese lily
follows this rule, and that it has been
SO exhausted by the process of Towering
that it will not be likely to bloom an
other season. twill do no harm, how
ever, to treat it with care when it is put
away and try it another year. Let the
water dry up around it gradually, pour
ing out a little, if necessary, and when
the leaves have all dropped off, pack it
away in sand.-N. Y. Tribune.
