ORCHARD AND GARDEN.

Give the roots of trees a deep and
broad bed of soil to start and grow in.
In pruning the grape cut back to the
third bud, as it is usually the first en-
tirely perfect bud produced.
When winds prevail from any direc-
ton, as they usually do, lean the tree a
little in that direction when setting out.
The essentials in making Il good gar
den are rich soil, plenty of manure,
good seeds, timely labor and fair sea-
son.
Having the soil in a good filth and
planting in straight rows will save
much labor in cultivating in the gar
den.
One of the best ways of getting rid Of
moss and lichens adhering to the bark
of trees is an application of lime white
wash.
In taking trees from nursery or for
est, preserve all of the roots and fine
rootlets possible. Dig out instead of
pulling up the tree.
When the fruit or leaves of any plant
or tree are eaten by insects of any kind.
spraying in good season and sufficient
ly often is the safest and best remedy.
Gladiolus bulbs should be planted in
full sunshine, four or five inches deep
and about one foot apart. Good soil,
rather sandy. is best, avoiding manure,
especially if fresh.

HEART STlMULANT.
Cold Applications Superior to Drafts
of Alcohol.


There is deep seated belief amount
ing almost TO a superstition that alco-
hol is very important heart stimu-
liant, especially when this organ is
weak. Winternitz. the great authority
On hydrotherapy in Germany, has
often told us of the very great value
of cold as heart stimulant or tonic
and that it is far superior to alcohol in
this respect. DR.. Kellogg gives the
method of application as follows:
1.-THE application consists Of a COM
press applied to the portion of the
chest wall over the heart This COM
prises the space bounded by the second
rib above, the right border of the
sternum, line falling half inch to
the right of the nipple and the sixth
rib below. The compress should be
large enough to cover this space and
to extend at least two inches outside
of it. Ordinarily the best effects are
produced by employing water at a
temperature of about 60 degrees. The
compress should be wrung moderately
dry and should be very lightly covered.
1t is desirable that cooling by slow
evaporation should be encouraged and
be continued for some time"
Dr. Kellogg continues: In Germany
and France it is the custom to admins
ter alcohol to the patient just before
putting him in cold bath. Some prac-
titioners, as Winternitz, administer but
very small amount, a single mouthful
of wine, for instance, while others
give brandy in considerable quantities.
A few American practitioners employ
brandy freely with the cold bath. The
Inwisdom of this practice will be ap-
parent on due consideration of the fol-
lowing facts:
"One purpose in administering the
cold bath is to secure n true stimulant
or tonic effect by arousing the vital
energies through exctation Of the
nerve centers. Alcohol was once sup
posed to be capable of effecting this
and was used for this purpose in ty-
phoid fever and various other morbid
conditions accompanied by depression
of the vital forces. At the present
time, however, it is we'll known, and
with practical unanimity admitted,
that alcohol is neither a tonic nor a
stimulant, but narcotic; that it de-
presses and does not excite; that it
lessons and does not increase the ac-
tivity of the nerve centers, and that
this is true of small as well as large
( doses, as has been shown by the re-
searches of careful investigators.

KITCHEN HELPS.

Don't scour the inside of coffeepots
Wash them with hot soapsuds, using
a mop to dry thoroughly.
Before putting food in new tins set
them over the fire with boiling water
in them for several hours.
Trouble will be saved in cleaning a
greasy sink by rubbing it with little
paratiin oil on a piece of flannel
The uses of fine sandpaper in the
kitchen are many, especially for
smoothing all soapstone utensils.
When cinders have had the ashes
washed from them, they make a much
brighter fire than when covered with
ashes.
For cleaning kitchen knives. some
say nothing is better than powdered
brick dust applied by means of raw
potato cut in halves.
A slice of lemon added to the water
in which kitchen towels, window
cloths, etc, are scalded will materially
help to clean and sweeten them.
If new tinware is rubbed over with
fresh lard and thoroughly heated in
the oven before being used, it is said.
it will never rust, no matter how much
it is put in water.
To clean greasy kettles warm the pot
or kettle. then throw in a handful of
cornmeal and rub well. and you will
find the meal will absorb all the fat
so that soap and water will make your
kettle perfectly clean.

Table Linen MonOgrams.

There are many little niceties about
table linen which not every one knows
There are, for instance, certain fixed
rules which govern the initials, or the
monogram rather. A single initial en-
broidered on the linen is perfectly cor
rect, but a monogram is much better
But this monogram is not to be lightly
dropped down wherever it may please
the embroiderer's fancy. 1t must be
placed just thirty-six inches from the
corner of the square cloth. thus bring
ing it beyond the edge of the table
when the cloth is spread. On the OBJ
long cloth the thirty-siX inches still
rule, but there must be two monographs
situated at this distance from diagonal
ly opposite corners. On the round cloth
two monograms must again be found,
opposite one another and just far
enough removed from the center to es,
cape the centerpiece. The proper size
for monogram is between three and
four inches for the tablecloth, while
that on the napkin should not measure
over one and one-half inches.

hammedan tradition says that when
Saladin captured Jerusalem he refused

bad been converted into a church by
Ihe Crusaders till the walls had been
thoroughly cleansed and purified with
roseWater. A similar story is told of
Ehe Church of st. Sophia, at CONSTANT
nople, when transformed from a Chris
pan place of worship to a Moham-
nedan mosque. The origin of the rose,
recording to Moslem tradition, is that

that men are apt to plume themselves
