NOTES ON HO’IE FLOWEK-GROWING.
Pot primroses do well in shady
windows.
Plants of the German or parlor ivy
sometimes flower freely.
Gam el ias should have their foliage
sprinkled or moistened daily.
Every flower looks the best when
graced by a setting of its own foliage.
lu repotting plants, take care that
they stand r.o deeper in the new pot
than before.
Sow mignonette where the plants
are wanted, for transplanting them
seldom succeeds well.
In sowing seeds cover to twice their
diameters. Pot plants bestow grace
on the plainest apartments.
The begonia welteminsis is one of
the easiest grown and freest flower
ing varieties of these excellent pot
plants for summer decoration.
Sweet peas a~d morning glories
may be sown very early in the gar
den; the flowers are the finer for
having the roots form in cool weath
er.
Cenerarias, although they will not
bear the slightest degree of frost
without harm, are impatient of heat.
About fifty degrees is the best for
them.
The sooner dahlias, riehardia, cal
adium, and canna-roots, that have
been kept over winter, are started
into growth, the longer the summer
show of these flowers.
Good taste is against the mixture
of many different flowers in arrang
ing bouquets. A few kinds, and
then different colors of these, produc
es the mo3t pleasing results.
Wild violets of the different colors,
blue, yellow and white, and the tril
liums or wake-robins, taken from
open woods, thrive in cultivation if
planted in partly shaded places.
Water heated to one hundred and
thirty degrees is oue of the best rem
edies for plant insects of all kinds.
Submerge the plants completely sev
eral times, a few seconds at a lime.
Temperance and flower-gardening
easily go hand in hand. The experi
ence of those.who build cottages to
let, has proved that the addition of a
garden-plat effects a most beneficial
influence on the social, moral and re
ligious life of those who occupy
them.
If an increase of the hydrangea
stock is wanted, propagation may
take place within the next few weeks.
Slips may be made of young healthy
healthy shoots, having half-a-dozen
leaves, by removing the two lower
ones wholly, and one-half of each of
the next two.
A beautiful Jerusalem cherry-tree
(Solanum capsicastrum of the seed
catalogues), loaded with red fruit,
can be grown by any child, for deco
rating the window next winter.
Procure a packet of seeds and start
them in a pot of light earth. They
germinate quickly, and in a few
weeks from the time sowing, the
seedlings will be fit to pick out into
individual pots, as many its you care
to have plants of, About June first
set these out in the garden. Let
them grow there until September,
by which time they will be full of
green fruit, and then lift and pot
them in six-inch pots, bringing them
into a house as soon after as frosts
threaten.
PROVERBS FOR THE TABLE.
Fast well, feast well.
A wise cook fondles his fire.
Court the onion and flee the doctor.
Let the doubting cook roast his
fish.
Diplomacy lieth under the dish
cover.
Discretion is the proper sauce for
cheese.
A bad dinner is often redeemed by
a good salad.
Rare beef and well-cooked fish be
tray a wise cook.
Peace hideth herself under the lid
of the well-managed pot.
True economy for the household
has heaven for its banker.
.Neither the nibbler nor the glutton
knoweth the value of the feast.
He who eateth without drink,
buildeth his wall without mortar.
Eat like a hearty man,
Prink like a sick one ;
So may life’s little span
Not be too quick run.
HOUSEHOLD liIVTS.
A tablespoonful of powdered gum
arabic to every pint of starch will
give a beautiful gloss to cuffs and col
lars.
Kerosene oil will soften boots and
shoes that have been hardened by
water, aud will render them pliable
and new.
Paint which ha 9 become dry and
hard may be removed by rubbing the
spot with oxalic acid diluted with
water. Tiy a weak solution first,
and if it does not remove the stain,
iucrease the strength.
To clean steel, rub in plenty of
sweet oil and let it stand a couple of
days; then cover with unslacked
lime in powder and rub well. Un

PECK’S 818 BOV
“I <1 n’t hear milch about 3*011? pa
lately,” said the groceryman to the
bad boy. as he showed up one morn
ing before f>re akfast to buy a mack
erel. “He is alive, aint he? Is he
in politics yet?’ and the groceryman
took a small rusty mackerel by the
tail and slapped it agaiust the inside
of the barrel to get the brine off, and
wrapped it in some thick paper,
heavier than the fish before he
weighed it.
“Hold on there please,” said the
boy, who was watching the proceed
ings. “Weigh the mackerel sepa
rate, please, and then weigh the pa
per, and charge the fish to pa and
charge the paper to yourself. That
is all right. Yes, pa is alive, but he
is not in politics. He was
outof politics head first, on two occa
sions, Ihe night before election. You
see, pa is an enthusiast. Some years
tie is in one party, and some years in
another; just which party gives him
the best show to make speeches. He
has got speaking on the brain, and if
he can get before a crowd and say
‘feller citizens,’ and not get hit with
a piece of brick house, that is a pic
nic for pa. This spring he went
with the temperance and saloon peo
ple. You know the temperance peo
ple and saloon people sort of united
on a candidate, and pa got red hot.
He wanted to speak. The fellers
showed pa that he had got to be care
ful and not get mixed, and they turn
ed him loose to speak. The night
before election pa went into a hall
where there was to be a meeting,
and said what the people wanted
was the highest possible license,
enough to drive out half the saloons
He was just going on to demonstrate
what a blessing it would be if there
was ouly one saloon, when some one
took him by the neck and threw him
through a window. It seems that it
was a meeting of people who were
opposed to any license, and who be
lieved everybody should be allowed
to sell liquor for nothing. A police
man picked pa up and took the win
dow sash off from over his neck, and
picked the broken glass out of his
vest and pants, and walked him
around, and told him of his mistake,
and pa admitted that what the peo
ple wanted was free trade in whisky.
He said now that he thought of it
there was no justice iD making peo
ple pay for the privilege of engaging
in commercial pursuits, and if the
policeman would take him back to
hall he thought he could set himself
right before the assembly. Well,
the policeman is the meanest man in
this town. He took pa to another
hall, around a block, where there
was a meeting of the high license
people, and he went in, thinking it
was the one he was in first. He was
kind of surprised that they did not
attack him, but they were busy sign
ing a petition for high license. Pa
waited a minute, to think up some
thing fo say, and then got up on a
j chair and said, ‘Mr. Chairman, thi
is a matter we are all interested in,
and the humblest citizens may speak.
After studying this matter thorough
ly, looking at it in all its bearings,
and summing up an experience of
forty years, I have come to the con
clusion that the city should not grant
any licences at all.’ That tickled the
crowd ’cause they thought pa was in
favor of stopping the sale of liquor
altogether, and they cheered him.
Pa got his second wind and contin
ued: ‘As long as liquor is recog
nized as ao article of commerce, like
sugar and meat, and soap, every man
should be allowed to sell it without
any license at all. Let everybody
be free to sell liquor, and we shall—”
Pa didn’t get any farther. Some
body throwed a wooden water bucket
at his head, his chair was knocked
out from under him, and several
men took him by the collar and pants
and he went through another win
dow. The policeman met pa as he
came out the window, and asked
him if ho didn’t find it congenial in
there, and pa said it was most too
darned congenial. He said it seemed
as though there was no suiting some
people, and he asked the policeman
to take him home. They passed a
hall where there was another meet
ing, and the policeman asked pa it
he didn’t think he’d better go in and
try it again, but pa went on the oth
er side of ihe street. He said if he
wanted to go through any more win
dows he could jump through them
himself, as he knew better which
end first he loked to go through win
dows, and In thought one better
than six when it comes to making
an exit from a public hall. I notic
ed pa came home early that night,
and he sal thinking a good deal, and
Tasked him ifanything had happened
and he roused up and said, • Hen
nery, a little advice from an eld man
will not hurt you. Whatever you
do, when you arrive at man’s estate,
don’t ever go into politics and become
a public speaker. If you are a public
speaker, you will never know how
to take your audience, or how your
audience will take you. They may
take you hy the hand and welcome
you, and they may take you by the
neck and fire you out of a window.
You can tell how to go into a hall
but you can never tell how you will
come out. Keep out of politics, and
don,t be a speaker. If you have any
thing to saj’, bean editor, aud write
it, and then if people kick on what
you say. you can go and hide, or if
they come to you you can fire them
out. I have often thought you
would make a good editor of a polit
ical paper, though you would have
to learn to lie, lain afraid.’ O, pa
has had enough of politics, and I
guess he will not vote this year.
Well, I must go wdth this mackerel,
or we won’t have any breakfast,”
and the boy went out, carrying the
fish by the tad and rattling it against
the pickets of a fence to make it ten
der.
