THE RAISING OF HYACINTHS.
Some Points to Observe in Their In
door Culture.

This is the time of year when the
buying hyacinth bulbs. According to
writer of experience in The Ladies'
Home Companion, the early blooming
varieties of the hyacinth are the best
for indoor culture. For potting soil use
turfy loan, sand and leaf mold, securing
good drainage by a layer of potsherd at
the bottom. Fill four-inch or fiye-inch
pots until within a half inch of the
top with this compost, jar the pot to
settle the earth, then scoop out a place
in the center, so that the bulb may be
more than half covered, and press the
earth about it firmly. Do not neglect
to make the excavation for the bulb. II
you place the bulb upon the SUI, face and
press 1t down, the earth will be so
firm beneath that the roots will not
penetrate 1t, and in consequence the bulb
will rise out Of it's place. After potting
water thoroughly, and set the pots In
a dark, rather warm closet until roots
form, which will be in from three to
six weeks. When rooted. the plants
can be brought gradually to the light
BY transferring to the windows at sue
cesslve intervals, the display of bloom
can be kept up in the house until early
outdoor clusters begin to appear The
room in which the plants are to bloom
should have rather cool temperature,
and II the atmosphere is kept moist by
the evaporation of water in an open
vessel, where dry heat Is used, 1t will be
better for the plants. as well as the
persons who occupy the room. Avoid
much direct sunlight until you wish
the flowers to open, then give them
the sunniest place you have until the
spikes develop. Once developed, how
ever. keep out of the sun and in the
coolest window of the room. The i'm
portant points in successfully manag-
ing hyacinths in the house are to have
the bulbs well rooted before bringing
to the light, water but little until the
buds begin to develop, and keep in
a rather cool, moist temperature.

ECONOMY IN SILK PETTICOATS.

Old silk gowns should never be cut
down and made over into 'petticoats.
The silk has lost its freshness and stiff
ness and is only possible to use as a
sort Of foundation, which can be built
upon by ruffles and f1ounces of new silk,
and even then will prove the truth Of
the bible adage that has to do with
putting new cloth into old garments,
which is no less unsatisfactory these
days than it was when petticoats had
never even been heard of. Eight or
nine yards of new material is sufficient
to make one Of the new styles of petit
coats, even with Che flounces and ruffies
required so it can easily be seen what
poor economy it is to attempt to save
by using some old ball gown, even If
that ball gown were originally of much
handsomer silk than the new.-New

Canacity Of q Corn Crib.

Capacity OF q Corn Crib.
II Is a safe rule In estimating the size
of crib to allow two cubic feet to each
bushel of corn. BY cubic bushel Is
meant 70 pounds of ear corn, which is
equivalent to Sc pounds Of shelled corn.
The rule Is to allow IA pounds for cob
in the fall, and IL pounds In the spring
after the corn has been dried out per-
fectly Two cribs 30 feet long, six feet
wide and ten feet high, will by this
rule hold 1900 bushels. Ten feet Is
too high to throw corn easily with a
SCOOP shovel, but there can be two
openings - extending down
to within four or five feet OF the floor,
and whent he crib Is full to the bottom
Of these, short boards can be placed
across them as the crib Is filed and
most of the filing can be done with
ease. When the cribs must be filled
to the top, a boy or man can throw corn

DEAN STANLEY'S COMPLIMENT.

Dean Stanley actually suffered from
listening to music, and yet Jenny Lind
once told Max Muller he paid her the
highest compliment she had ever re-
ceiyed. Stanley was very fond of Jenny
Lind, but when she stayed at his fathers
palace at Norwich, he always left the
room when she sang. One evening
Jenny Lind had been singing Hendel's
Il Know that My Redeemer Liveth"
Stanley. as usual, had left the room, but
he came back after the music was over
and came shyly up to Jenny Lind.
you know" he said, II dislike music;
l don't know what people mean by adj
miring it. I am very stupid, tone-deaf,
as others are color-blind But" he said,
with some warmth, tonight, when from
a distance heard you singing that song,
had an inkling of what people mean
by music. Something came over me
which | never felt before; or, yes, !
had felt it once before in my life"
Jenny Lind was all attention. Some
years ago." he continued, II was at
Vienna, and one evening there was a
tattoo before the palace performed by
400 drummers. I felt shaken and to-
night, while listening to your singing,
the same feeling came over me; I felt
deeply moved"

SONG.

Had | the gold to please thee,
And stocks and bonds and fame,
then might dare to WOO thee,
And offer thee my name;
But since | am poor lad,
And you a lady great.
| still must go my own way,
And learn to honor fate.
Thy lot Is far above me,
In beautys ranks to shine;
To dazzle In the simmer
OF jewels, light and wine;
To reap the songs of poets,
TO win princes heart,
To raise the welcome plaudits
In no ignoble part.
Tis mine to follow labor
From rise to set Of sun;
TO see the goal forever
or no ambition won;
To look upon thee passing,
AS those who dream bright dreams,
And find when they awaken
But Icy fields and streams.
Farewell to idle visions.
And welcome little cot;
And let the rose of glory
Forever he forgot.
A health to those around me,
Whose hearts are plain and true,
And in the cup of plenty,
To all vain dreams adieu.

Nynphs,

The moonlight on the CLASSY lake
In silver floods was streaming;
No shadow dimmed the surface bright
Wherein the stars lay dreaming.
A group of nymphs disported there,
Within the quiet waters

AS Ewes most lovely daughters.

On waves and waving PUSHES;
And this was why they scampered so
When | came through the bushes.

Through some strong limb doth quick

A trumpet voice sounds- mat
