FRUITS AND FLOWERS.

Water in which mignonette has been
placed should be changed often, since
it quickly becomes foul.
The best use to make of old bones
is to break them up and bury them
near the roots of fruit trees and grape
vines.
By sowing nitrate of soda in small
quantities in showery weather under
trees most beautiful verdure will be
obtained,
1t is not a good plan to fill an old
orchard with young trees. The soil
is too much exhausted by the growth
of the former occupants.
Gerauiums bloom most satisfactorily
when grown in comparatively small
pots and soil which is termed rich, but
not rank with excessive manure.
Stir, spade, rake and pulverize soil
thoroughly before planting or sowing.
The Importance of this work cannot be
oyerestimated if you desire fine bios
SONS.
Geraniums that have been used for
summer boomers will not flower again
until the late spring months. Plants
Tor winter blooming should be grown

The Ants Toilet.

A naturalist has been making OBJ
servations on the toilets of certain ants,
and has discovered that each insect
goes through most elaborate additions.
They are not only performed by her.
self, but by another, who acts for the
time as lady's maid. The assistant
starts by washing the face of her COM
panion, and then goes over the whole
body. The attitude of the ant that Is
being washed is one of intense salts
faction. She lies down with all her
limbs stretched loosely out; she rolls
over on her side, even her back, per-
feet picture of ease. The pleasure the
little insect evinces in being thus
combed and sponged is really enjoya-

The SPLASHlNG HOUSE.
French Yarn That Was Printed to
RidicuIe Englishmen.


One of the most extraordinary tales
ever invented about Englishmen by
foreigners was the "splashing house"
| story, given TO the world by the Paris
journal Patrie in 1868. An ingenious
writer in the paper gravely informed
his readers that in the suburbs of Lon
| don were houses where earth beaten
| UP into mud is retailed." To these
houses men were accustomed to resort
in hunting kit for the purpose of being
splashed with mud.
These curious establishments are
provided with muds of different coun-
ties, but principally of those counties
where the hunting is best The sale of
the mud is conducted in the most Sc
! rious manner imaginable; the attend
ant inquiries, From what county, sir,
do you wish it to be supposed you have
just returnedY From the county of
Kent The pretended sportsman there
upon takes seat on a wooden horse
whose legs throw up the selected mud;
after having been well splashed the
customer pays his bill g shillings),
casts an eye of appreciation toward the
mirror, takes whip in his hand and
goes to exhibit his muddy clothes in
Piccadilly, Bond street or Pail Mall,
in order that it may be supposed that
he has just returned from a grand
hunt"
In addition to the chance of marry
ing an heiress which this remarkable
display of dirty clothes confers on
their wearer says the French news
paper man, the patron of the splash
ing house" has another more imme-
date advantage. THE mud with
which he is splashed affords, if not
proof, strong presumptive evidence
that he is a landed proprietor in the
county whose mud bespatters him."
And landed proprietors being held in
vast esteem as solvent and desirable
creditors, the man can obtain anything
he likes at any shop on credit
One wonders whether such wonder
full tale finds any believers among
those who read it.-London Live Stock
Journal.
