Natural and Distorted Growth True taste cultivates an admiration of beautiful natural forms; false taste distorts these into artificial and gro tesque conceits. A tree possessing nat. Ural and graceful symmetry cannot but be pleasing to a true ami cultivated judgment; cut or sheared into iho shape of a stiff coue, a hay-cock, or a peacock or bear, it bocomes at once an object of distorted unfitness. It is, however, quite common, all through the country, to seetreo3, and especially evergreens, tortured into unnatural forms. Most common of all is to trim the trunk up to a bare stem five or six feet or more high, giving the appear ance of trees 011 stilts, instead of at lowing the gracefupsweep at the lowei branches on the surface of the lawn. Others, again, are sheared back into the appearance of a solid mass, ami where a number of trees are thus treat ed, the door-yard appears as if tilled with a number of small hay-stacks. Such practices may bo titly oompureu to pinching the human body out 01 shape, as practiced by semi-barbarous people. If the trees threaten to grow t >0 large, and any culling back is re quired, let it be done with a knife and not with shears, so as to preserve, in some degree at least, the natural free ou line. In some land cape gardening, arched gailways are represented anu commended, where trees are bent out of shape and sheared into unnatural tortus. It an arch of vendure in ust h had, let it be be made of natural ollmb ers and twiners, so as to partly but not wholly conceal a properly and sitnph formed structure of iron or wood. Ii this way there would be 110 incongru ous distortion and obvious unfitness ot material to intended purpose, have seen at flower shows ill-directed attempts to build temples of roses, and sometimes they have been made into the shapes of human beings, eagles? flags, etc. The mind at ouce revolts ai the sight of solid and massive struc tures atteuipted with so fragile and delicate materials as flowers. Nearly as unfit is the attempt to build solid gateway arches of delicate foliage. There is another practice, much less objectionable, but still carried too far — the abundant planting of weeping trees. These are mostly unnatural to some extent, and if employed at all, the most graceful should be selected, and sparingly introduced. They some times assist in the variety of a sky out line. Many of them came in the first place from an unnatural twist of a branch, propagated and continued by grafting. We are glad to witness every attempt at improving and ornamenting the grouuds which surrounds a hotuc, even if these attempts may deviate con siderably irorn the rules of criticism ; but most pleasing of all are neat, fin ished, and tastefully plauted grounds, with as much ot natural and graceful l>eauiy as can be brought together with so much simplicity that no display ol oddity or twisted conceit eau liud a place. Purity and fitness should be obvious, and if much care and skill have been used in the management and keeping they should not be seen by the eye of the spectator. Ia the Sahara. All of one's preconceived ideas van ish before the faots of experience. The Sahara is not a desolate plain of mov ing sand, with no signs of vegetation, bat a cultivated country, fruitful as the garden of Eden. Like our "great American desert," it has been greatly b.l'ed, Ei Sahr, as the Arabs pro nounce it, is indeed a vast archipelago of oases, offering an animated group of towns and villages. A large belt of fruit trees surrounds each of these vil lages, and the palm, the tig, the date, apricots, pomegranates and vines abound in the utmost profusion. As cending the Atias Mountains by a gradual slope to the region of high ttblelands, we come to the land of the Mozabites, or Ben Mozab, and then comes a gradual descent for 300 miles to the vast stretch of treeless country known as the great desert. The rivers have an inclination of about one foot in 400. Many of the stream are dry, except after rains, when they deluge the country. Guushots are fired as soon as the torrents appear ; all ob j;cts a~e removed, and soon, with a terrible noise, the flood rolls on. The Saharian city stands, as if by magic, on the banks of the waters which rise to the tufts of the palm trees, but a few days only elapse ere all disappears, leaving the district rich and fruitful. The inhabitants are not a migratory people, and, unlike the tent dwellers of the northern slop®, live in substantial houses, with thatched roofs and ceil ings of cane laid uporr joists of aive wood. These houses generally consist of but one room, and have no furniture except mats on the floor and upon the walls for three or four feet high. Bids are sometimes found, but no one thinks of sleeping on them. The walls are whitewashed and inscribed with verses from the Koran. The inhabitants are made up of genuine Arabs ;nd Berbers, or Kabyles, as the French call them. Jews are found in every oasis, and are very prosperous and influential, doing much of the trading and making up of the great caravans. These merehans frequently dress in a very gaudy and fantastic style, with gorgeous turban and sleeves of different colors, one being, perhaps, green and one red, and the shirt a bright yellow. They are not allowed to wear the chekla or red woolen cap, but may w ear a black cap, and can only wear black slippers, which they must remove whenever they sten outside the ghetto, and must step aside to the left when they meet a Moslem, and are not allowed to ride a horse. The men are handsome and the women uncommonly pretty, and do not over their fr.ces; neither do the Kabyle women, as Is the custom of other women of the Sahara. Among the Kabyles of the mountain region a pass poit 'or nnnaya, from a sheik or a mar about, brings protection and hospital ity. AGRICULTURE. GROWING HORSK-KAM.SU.— L WO look through our markets and see the cliun ky stuff sold for horse-radish, it is clear that not one in a hundred knows how to grow it. Horse-radish well grown is as protl able as any garden orop, but wo think there is not much profit 111 the scrubby start" referred to. To have good horse-radish, a rather heavy soil diould be chosen, but bv no means wet, though one which gardeners would call damp and cool will bo by no means objected to. It cannot very well be made too rich, and if subsoillng the ground is to find favor it will surely be 111 favor with this orop. Now the ob ject in raising good horse-radish is to nave long, clean, straight roots, and good culture is to get these. In raising noreo-radish every piece of the root what a little ot the crown grows. Gen-, eratly pieces an inch or so long are set just beneath the soil, and one or more ouds start up to make crowns with leaves, and others go down to uiako a root or roots. These are then forky or .wisted and give ttie wretched roots we ee. The proper way is to make holes with a dibble, postspade or crowbar so ts to let the small pieces which are to make plants go down a foot or more, then till in the holes and wait. Tue result is thus in a couple of months a sprout will start upwards to the sur • ace, and this sprout in time becomes die straight, cl a 1 root we have spoken .bout, l'ne second season after plant ing they will be 111 marketable condi tion, and should be all taken up and marketed tuat season and a new plan tat. 0.1 made in like manner 011 the same ; ground. From the pieces let in the iio aid by the digging ot the old roots ] many will come up, ami these are gen- j •raily relied on to form the succeeding j crops but these sprouts should be iioed oil as they come and be regarded as nothing but weeds, which everything couies up wheie it is not wanted is. to setting out. the lOWS must be made about 1 lguieen or tweuty inches apart, Iml the pieces to form roots be planted ibout four or six inches apart. The listance, however, between the row is to be regulated by the method of cul .uie. Where the plow is used to clear up between tiie rows they must be wider than when grown as a garden crop. The richness of the ground will also regulate the distance to put the sets apart, if these simple hints are followed, one need never be without a good relish tor fish, roast beef, or any of the multitudinous dishes where a little pugeuey is not to be despised. But liovv few persons follow them, and indeed how few have even horse radish enough to supply family needs? In trucking, however, it can oe raised with other things for the market, and as we say above, will be found as profitable as anything they can take to market, when the amount of labor and profit is reckoned. PLANTING POTATOKS. —NearIy every rule which has baen commonly laid down needs some modification accord ing to circumstances, and different ex perimenters often come to partial or conflicting conclusions as external in fluences may have varied. For exam ple, in the use of large and small seed, and of cut and uncut potatoes, the widest difference may result from con trolling causes. In nearly all condi tions it is better to cut the" tubers, and thus obtain fewer stalks in the hill than by whole planting. But it the plant ing be done late, and the soli happens to be unusually dry in the time of a drouth, a cut potato may dry up and fail to grow, at a time when the im pervious skin of. a whole one will pre vent wilting, and sufficient moisture and nourishment be afforded irom it to •r-art a good growth. The continual rule may thereiore be laid down, to plant whole potatoes only in a dry soil, or in time of dry weather, which all good farmers will know how to avoid. For similar results from smail or large seeds vary much with circumstances. Very smail cut potatoes should be em ployed only when the soil is in line, moist condition, and early in the -pring. With these favorable chances we have obtained as large potatoes Irom eu l seed of tubers as large as a robin's egg as from those weighing a quarter a quarter of a pound, an 1 with a slight ly email product per a;re. The email seta were kept molec by a fine soil which surrounded them till they had sent np strong shoots. But as these favorable conditions are not likely to occur very often, it is always safer to employ seed of fair size, and to plant deep enough to escape surface drying. In view of these general principles it will be seen that there is little advan tage in the frequent practice of cutting tea few eyes and dropping two pieces in a hill. These would be more likely to dry up In a soil not quite moist enough, than if the same number of eyes were allowed to remain on a sin gle piece. These remarks are made from many trials under the varying conditions mentioned above. FRUIT TREES ON LAWNS. —The ques tion is often asked why fruit trees are not more generally planted on lawns and in gardens, instead of purely orna mental trees. The idea seems to pre vail that fruit trees unist be confined to the orchard or kitchen garden; yet whit can be more beautiful than the pile pink and white of the apple blos som, the pure white of the cherry and par, and the deep rose of the peach? Cherry trees literally white with blos soms are of no rare sight, and what is more eharming„ than the graceful branches clad in spotless purity ? Then, too, the ripe fruit, in thtek clusters upon them in no less pleasing to the eye than gratifying to the taste. These are many varieties of trees which are planted in yards and lawns which have no mere sightly appearance than an apple tree, without its wealth of frag rant bloom, or its showeis of luscious fruit. On the continent, fruit trees are planted along the sides of highways and lanes, and the fallen produce is looked upon as common property, pro vided the traveller does not trespass lor it. Even in suburbs of cities and large towns, where but a lew feet of land are allotted to each home, and where one would suppose that each inch of room would be made available, the front yards are planted with ever green trees, or purely ornamental shrubs, to the utter exclusion of apple, pear or plum tees —any of which would he far preferable in every respect. IRON FOR FRUIT TREES.— The scales which fly oil'from iron being worked at forges, iron trimmings, fillings, or other fearuginous material, if worked into the soli about fruit trees, or the more minute particles spread thinly on the lawn, mixed with the earth of flower beds or in pots, are more valua ble. They are especially valuable to the peach and pear, and in fact sup ply necessary ingredients to the soil. For colored flowers they heighten the bloom and increase the brilliancy of white or nearly white flowers of all the rose family.

THK WARDROBE. —Willi®ostrich feath ers may be cleaned by taking four ounces of white soup, cut small, dis solved in four pints of water, rather hot, in a large basin. Make the solu tion into a lather, by beating It with rods or wire, then Introduce the leath ers, and rub well with the hands lor five or six minutes; after this soaping, wash in clean water, as hot the hand can bear, and shake well until dry. To color feathers blue, wash well in soap and water, dry in the air, thou rinse In warm water, and then dip in hot alum wale**; after this dip them in a sol"tlon ot indigo composition called cliemio blue, ami immerse the fqathers in the alum ami the dye water alter nately, till the requisite siiade is ob tained. A small piece ot paper or linen moistened with spirits of turpentine, ami put into a wardrobe or bureau for a single day, two or three times a year is recommended as a sufficient preser vative of every description of dress or wearing apparel against Injury from moths. Sandal wood or pieces of coder also answer a very good purpose in this way. .shrwilutN umi Ability.

WINDOWS AND WINDOW SU.I.S Throw open your bedroom windows top and bottom every morning before you leave your room ; order your sit ting-room windows to bo similarly opened before breakfast.
