IT is likely that this summer will
be very sickly, or rather more so than
that of the usual summer, therefore
cleanliness should be exercised be-
yond ordinary custom, in cleaning
cisterns, cutters, sinks, hog-pens, and
the many other things that breed
stencil, filth and sickness. Smallpox
has been reported at different times
as being in parts of Southern Texas
and Mexico. OF course q neglect Of
the necessary sanitary regulations to
maintain healthful condition among
our people cannot avoid sprouting
out fouldoer of some kind, and
such things as those that should oc-
cupy ones attention generally stands
as principal growers after the disease
once gets grasp.

SPEAKER CRISP.

Speaker Crisp has undoubtedly
justified the expectation of his sup
porters by his course as presiding
officer Of the house. Elected under
conditions of great excitement and
entering upon his duties under ad-
verse circumstances, be seems to have
silenced the criticisms of his adver.
saries, and the close Of the session
found him one of the most popular
speakers who have ever occupied the
presiding chair He has been u real
ly strong personality-quite as
strong as Speaker Reed was, but
along different lines. One Repub-
lican newspaper says Of him: "He
has shown himself to be man Of ex-
ceptionally sound judgment, of a ju-
dicial temperament and clear sense
OF fairness" The main secret Of his
popularity is probably found in the
fact that he was always accessible to
members Of the House, without dis
tinction Of party or class, whereas In
the past most speakers in the past
have isolated themselves from The
great body Of members and bestowed
their favors upon a few select favor
ties Frank Leslie's Weekly.

CHINESE LILIES.

The bulb from which grows the
Chinese sacred lily has become a
common house plant. Many windows
in this town have been decorated with
them during the present winter. They
grow rapidly, and ought to produce a
beautiful flower. In many instances,
however they have failed, no blossoms
appearing, or if they appeared they
dried up without opening.
Phebe Wolcott Humphreys gives
some interesting information concern
ing the culture of these bulbs, in the
Philadelphia Sunday Times, from
which we extract few suggestions.
She says:
"The various winter blooming bulbs
are becoming more popular for con
servatory culture with each succeeding
year, yet we do not notice the beautl-
ful Chinese sacred lily brought into
prominence, as it certainly deserves 20
be. Any one who has once cultivated
this Flower of the Gods" as the Chi
nese delight in calling it, will be en-
thusiastic over its surprisingly y4pil
growth and its exquisite bea"y and
fragrance, and will acknowle that
it takes the lead among win bloom
ing bulbs. Many hesitate out at
tempting this culture, be- Sc they
imagine that it is diflicull . make
them bloom, when, in fac nothing
could be more simple. Fro various
correspondents come inquil in re-
gard to the proper method O. lowing
these lilies in water Whet.~. !, sand
or soil of any kind should be u,"l, or
simply pebbles and water; wletue, the
water should touch the bulb, O. en-
tirely cover it, ETC., etc.

curious and very satisfactory bulbs last
winter, and after the blooming period
had passed, mentioned the results of
these experiments in answer to several
inquiries, giving an account of all the
methods tried, successful and other
wise, and since these facts seem to be
just what these correspondents need, |
will again describe them.
| have always noticed from my own
experience and that Of friends that the
best way of growing the Chinese sa-
cred lily Is simply on, not under the
pebbles, with the water just touching
the bulb but | had read and heard Of
SO many different ways that | resolved
to experiment last year; so | purchased
eight bulbs, and after giving three to
friends proceeded to test different
methods with the other five.
One friend told me that after set
ting the bulb in the pebbles and water
she placed it in dark closet for a
week or two to form roots. Another
informed me that she always used at
least half sand, instead of filling the
dish with pebbles. And still another,
that she set the bulb rather deep, near
! ly covered it with the pebbles and
then covered the whole with water.
tried all these (to me) new plans, also
arranged one in the old way and plant
ed one in a pot of soil, as often rec
ommended.
This was the result The one
planted in the pot Of soil developed
very slowly, and it was nearly two
months after planting before it bloomed
The one set deep in the dish of peb
bles with the water covering it died
outright in about two weeks. The
two placed in the dark to form roots
Zone with only pebbles in the dish ol
water and one with half pebbles and
half sand) both did well, and | could
not notice any difference in them
either in rapidity of growth or quaint
ty of bloom, but they did not bloom
until over 4 month after planting
while the one treated by tie same
methods l had always used (befor,
these experiments) surpassed them all
This was ''set' as follows
In large jardiniere I placed 9
quart of smooth, clean pebbles wIthou
sand or soil of any kind, only piece.
of charcoal mixed through to keep the
water pure. The quart filled the jar
diniere within two inches of the top
on these pebbles l set the bulb, heap
ing few of them around it to keep i,
In position, and filled the jardiniere
with water until it just touched the
bottom of the bulb, and set it directly
in sunny window. Well, we coulc
almost see it grow The first buc
opened twenty-four days after starting
a week earlier than those placed ir
the dark. shall be satisfied to follow
this plan without further experiments.
In supplying fresh water do not at
tempt to pour out what is in the dish
but instead carefully pour small
stream of water into the dish, allowing
1t to flow SO gently that the pebbles
and roots will not be displaced. As il
overflows, continue to pour in flesf
water until it replaces the stale. L
several pieces Of charcoal have beer
