Among the new plants distributed this j Car from the botanic gardeu is the Araliu papyrilera. This plant produces the substance known aich paper; it has sdt, downy palinet leaves ; it grows ten teot high four, inches in diameter, full of white pith like the elder ; in a ful *5 grown specimen the pith is about oi e inch iu diameter. It is divided into pieces three inches long, and by tltf aid of a sharp instrument is unrolled, form' ing the thin narrow sheets known asrioo paper greatly used by the Chinese for di awing figures of plants and animal* and also for making artificial flowers. Until about 1870* the scource of this substance was unknown to scientists. — The Chinese on inquiry, gave very fan. cif'ul figures and description of it, illus trating the fuct that then, as now, “for ways that are dark and for trick3 that are v .in, the heitheu Chinee is peculiar.” It \ as first introduced from the island of Formosa to Europe, at Kant gardens in 1860 ; from thete it has been widely disseminated. It is almost naturalized in Australia : in the Sontbern States and perhaps California, it will flourish. As an out door ornamental foliage plant it is well worthy of cultivation in any part of the couufry. — Washington Star. Influence in Slieep. In answer to a correspondent who in quires as the treatment of influenza in sheep tlieep Western Farm Journal says. “The first thing in any case of this kind is to equalize the circulation and remove the irritating causes. If the bowels are bound—constipated-give a wine glassful of linseed or olive oil. Hub the legs and ears with tincture of capsicum, as a counter-irritant and to equalize the circulation. Take one ouuco of hoarhound and the same of marshmollow root, one-half an ounce each of powdered elecampane and lico rice root, one half a table6poonful of powered cayenne, and two tab’espoonfills molasses and vinegar. Mix, pour a quart of boiling water on it and when culd stain though a cloth and give a tablespoouful night and morning to each sheep. This preparation will fer ment easily, and therefore no more should be prepared than can bo used in two days. If necessary, injections com posed of o le ounce of powdered bayber ry bark, one-half ounce gum arabic and a pint of boiliug water, to be used when blood warm. Keep the sheep in warm, dry, well-ventilatc i quarters. Mucu care ought to be observed in sowing seeds. Sometimes they are sown too deep, and yet if not deep enough they will dry up and not grow at all. The depth must be determined to the size of the seen and the charac ter of the soil. If the soil be light and sandy there is not so much danger of the seed rotting from deep sowing as if the soil be stiff; and even in stiff soil the depth will have to be determined by the condition of the soil, and sliall low sowing, if the ground is well pulverized and pressed firm, is more fa vorable than deop planting with a rough surface. Finely pulverized soil with a well-pressed surface is indeed the very best condition for success with all Needs ; and the shallowest kind of sowing so that the seeds be firmly im-* b. and led in the toil, is the essence of good seed sowing. Every’ year the practice of useing v x:a quite warm to the hand grows n fuvur with me and now I could m t give a plant the smallest sip of cold wa ter, being it would injure it. Saucers are quite needfi 1 and every pot should bo supplied with one, and if it is tilled every morning with boiling watar it add to the luxuriance of the plant, and fre quently no other mo'sture will be needed lor several days. The contents of the tea pot are also effi< a ious in plant growth and the tea leave&jcan be added in small quantities to the soil of the pots. Ivies are always beautified by an application of tea leaves and tea and it is an cxeeN ent thing to wet a sponge in tea and moist the leaves with it as it wipes off all the dust which accumulates upon them coutiuually.— Cor. New England Fanner. t JBread Ball. —Break the ball in small pieces, and moisture with or a lit tle warm water season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, adding a little fine sage or pirsely and a small piece of butter mi c with beef or chickens or fry after meal in a pan.
