As Is well known, there are many
t lants which thrust their seed vessels
into the ground, where the seeds are
subsequently matured. The peanut is
a good example of a plant which con
stantly exhibits this phenomenon,
Otheis again develop flowers and seeds
entirely underground, while many
auuatlc plants ripen their seeds under
\vater. The Persians, who are exten
sive cultivators of melons, have; the
; jous practice of covering this fruit

M is crown, it is a long, smooth
limi which attains a weight of fliteen
M tirVnty pounds, aud will keep till

-Tnmwn up iuto beds a foot wide in
and the seeds sown in a drill
alont the center. Finally, the plants
TP ifft at a great distance apart, and
irrigation is effeoted through the chan
nelsKtween the beds so that no wa
ter touches the plants. The fruit sets
in June, and only one or two are left
on each shoot. " hen the fruit has at
tained the size of a man s list the earth
is hollowed out, and the shoot (with
the exception of the tip), together with
its fruit, is buried therm to a depth of
one to one and a half inches, where it
remains until the iruit is almost ripe.
Considf ral practical experience i 3 ne
cessary in order to be able to deter -
mine the exact moment when the mel
ons should be unearthed. When the
cultivator thinks that the tims has ar
rived. he withdraws the shoot and its
iruit from the ground. This is done
toward evening, and the iruit is left
on the surface of the ground, attached
to the shoot, and exposed to the dew of
one night; but care is taken to cut the
iruit the next morning before the
sun can reach it. It is then hung
in a ccol, dark, dry place until ready
for eating.
THERE are feveral prominent errors
in making butter which are quite com
mon, easily pointed out and in the
main easily remedied. The greatest
obstacle in the way of reform is to
get the necessary instructions before
these who commit the errors; to get
their attention, win their confidence
by showing them that the remedy is
less laborious and the grand result a
larger and better pre duct, consequent
ly a much better pi ice is obtained for
the surplus than is possible under the
erroneous meth d in butter milking.
The eirors of I u i r n akii.g are : 1 t.
I'ncleanlii.e 8- 2d Too much acid in
the cream. 3d. Casein or buttermilk
in a deccmposed state. 4h. Too much
fnc ion in churning and working the
Lutter. Foul milking stables, impure
wi ter, odors from various sources,
known and unknown, are errors
in their consequences, and not gene
rally the u, h . of as ef any im]>oit .nce.
Good tweet milk contains one fourth
more ol sugar than it docs oi buuer:
this sugar turns to acid, and if this

Jrtiitcial Indigo —Mr. Adolph Baeyer,
of Munich, has discovered that by the
actioi of sulphuric acid upon orthoni
trophenylpropiolic acid a new product
may be obtained which is capable of
being converted into new coloring
matters, or a dyestnff, which he calls
artificial indigo. The author says: "I
take orthonitrophenylpropiolic acid,
and in the cold I mix the said acid with
sulphuracid—say, for instance, with
from about ten to twenty parts, by
weight, of sulphuric acid of about 1.84
specific gravity to every one part, by
weight ot orthonitrophenylpropiolfc
acid employed. In effecting the said
mixture care is to be taken to avoid a
considerable ris* of temperature, say.
about 20 deg. Centigrade. The m'x
ture thus obtained quickly assumes a
bright yellow or orange color, and the
reaction is allowed to proceed in the
cold until a sample of the mixture,
upon being tested for the presence of
orthr nitre phenylpropiollc tcid by
means of glucose aud alkalies, no ling
er contains an.vappreci ble quantity of
the said acid. Tie sulphuric acid mx
lure thus produced is then submi ted
to tie action of suitable reducing or
deoxidizing agents in order to effect
the conversion into artificial indigo.
"In practice I have found a number of
substances belorging to various c'asses
cf chemical compounds wh : ch act as
deoxidizing agents upon tlie above
mentioned new pr.ject, and I may
specially mentioned feircu3 sulphate
(green vitr.ol, copperas.) As an ex
ample of the manner in which I prefer
10 conduct the aforesaid operation. I
take the orange-colored mixture result
ing fiom the treaiment of one part, by
weight of orthonitrophenylpropiolic
acid with about from ten to twenty
parts sulphui ic acid as above described,
and I mix the same with a soHition
c mtaining about five pariS, by weight,
©f ferrous su phate. The mixture is
tLea allowed to stand at the ordinary
temperature, until the blue co'or,
which it quickly assumes, is fully de
veloped, and the dyestuft or coloring
matter thns produced may be separa
ted out ol the mass by diluting the re
sult of the operation with water, by
whL'h t is new die tuff is precipita
ted, and may be filtered and washed.
The dyestuff is then ready for use.
The characteristic of my new dyestuff
cr coloring matter, prepared according
to n y abovi-d. scribed process, are the
following: The dyestuff or coloring
in aiter rtsembles in appearance vege
table indigo, and it can be used in
dyeirg In a manner similar to it; but
it is in a great part soluble in aiialine
at an ordinary temperature, and also

A SET of table napkins with tray
cover, etc., are made really elegant by
l aving a small center piece adorned
with a monogram or initial in the
center, and a few sprays of foliage
surrounding it, with a little border
dividing it from the remaining por
tion of the article. Pour into a saucer
a quantity ot good indelible ink, and
having cut the monogram, or name,
from paper, spread out the article upon
a table, or board, and fasten each cor
ner of the paper with needles or plus,
pressed through into the wotd, using
care that each part rests closely down
upon the linen; then place around it
sprays of ferns and a lew rose leaves
(parts of a sprty); then, upon the
outer edge, some gra-ses and ferns
(those which have been dried
and pressed will answer) all so
cured with small needles, or pins,
placed perpendicularly; arrange, also
a narrow border, by cutting paper In
tiny scallops, with small holes cut at
regular distances. After spattering
the entire surface, evenly aud uni
formly, remove on s part oi the ro-'e
leaves; also, a lew of the finer parts
upou the outer edge, and carefully
cast another 6pray over the surface;
uttsr allowing the previous oueto dry

then remove the border, spray lightly,
and when dry lift the monogram,

TOMATO SOUP. —Tako eight good
s!zed tomatoes or half a can of toma
toes —the solid portion. Cut them up,
and put them to boil with two quarts
of soup stock and bouquet of herbs.
When well cooked, thicken with a lit
tle llour smoothed and dissolved In a
little cold water. Then strain all
through a sieve, repent a little, and
add butter, salt and pepper to taste.
Place in a saucepan oue carrot, one
white turnip, and one onion, all sliced
and fried brown in butter, and a quar
ter of a pound oi liam; when the mois
ture Is evaporated add two tablespoon
fuls ot flour and brown with the vege
tables; add threo pints of good beef
broth, one can of tomatoes, a few hay
leaves, a pineli of ground cloves, a
stalk of celery, a little grated nutmeg;
boil till the vegetables are done, and
pas forcibly through a sieve; place
on fire; bring to a boil and skim;
served with plain boiled rice or small
squares oi bread, fried brown In but

BY adopting an absolutelynon stimu

hygienic menus is arranged in the
order of their ili y and whole
someneps:
Milk, bread and fruit. Eigs (raw J r

CORN SILKS AS A REMEDY.- -Who
would have thought that the silk on
an ear of green corn was a powerful
and efficient remedy for dropsy, for
bladder troubles and for the diseases
of the kidneys? In the Louisville
Medical News we find an account of the
medical properties of corn-silk and the
cure 3 that have been effected by its
use. The way to use it is trtake
two double-handfuls of ficsh corn-silk
and boil in two gallons of water until
but a gallon remains. Add sugar to
make a syrup. Drink a tumblerful of
this thrice daily, and it will relieve
dropsy by increasing the flow of the
urine most enormously. O.her dis
eases of the bladder and kidneys are
benefited by the remedy, which is
prompt, efficient, and gratelul to the
stomach. The treatment can be con
tinued for mouths without danger or
inconvenience.
FACTS ABOUT FLOUR.— FIour Is par
ticularly sensitive to atmospheric in
fluences, hence it should never be
stored in a room with sour liquids, or
where onions or fish are kept, nor any
other article that ta'nts the air of the
rcom in which it Is stored. Any smell
perceptible to the sense will be ab
sjrbed by flour. Avoid damp cellars,
or lefts where a free circulation oi air
cannot be obtained. Keep In a cool
dry, airy room, and not exposed to a
freezing temperature, nor to intense
natural or artitical heat for any length
of time above 70 to 72 degiees Fahren
heit. It should not come in contact
with grain or other substances which
are liable to heat. Flour should be
silted and the particles thoroughly
disintegrated and then warmed before
baking.
CHOCOLATE PUDDING —Scald togeth
er a quart of milk and three ounees of
grated chocolate. Set it away until
cold and then add the beaten yoiks ot
five eggs and one cup of sugar. Bake
about twenty-five minutes. Beat the
whites of the eggs to a stiff froth,
spread over the top of the pudding
aud crown them slightly In the oven.
This pudding should he served very
cold.
What an Earthquake Did. —A curious
result seems to have followed a recent
earthquake at Bucharest. The soil of
Bucharest is a rich, black, porous vege
table mould, very springy under press
ure, and carriages passing in a street
cause a strong yibration in the adjacent
houses. The Grand hotel boulevard,
however, was an exception to the gen
eral'rule, and in the rooms facing the
principal street, on which there is a
heavy traffic,no sensible effect was felt
from passing vehicles. During the re
cent earthquake the windows and
crockery and less massive constructed
buildings rattled very sensibly, where
as there was no audible sounu in the
hotel. Since the earthquake shock,
however, this state of things has
changed entirely, and every vehicle
passing the hotel causes a vibration in
the whole building. The singular part
of this change is that the effect pro
duced by the vehicle is the same as that
accompanying the earthquake. It is
not a jar as previously produced in
other buildings, but a sawing motion
similar to that felt in the late shock.
Ttlis movement is so great as to oause
pictures to sway backward and for
ward on the walls. However, there is
not a crack in it. Hence, it is thought
this change in the solidity of the struct
ure appears to be due to some effect
produced in the earth underneath the
building by the shock of earthquake.

pays us for the cost of the cards. Your
grocer has the soap or will get it, and
the purchase by you of seven bars of
It at one time will secure for you gratis
•even really beautifai cards. The soap
Improves with age, aud is an article of
necessity in your house every week.
Therefore you are not asked to buy a
useless article, but one that you must

ft.—lt protect* tl* eearamer, for it i* not

8.-Justice to oae or the beat medicines la

can be diluted with water and when to be used foil
strength.
REMEMBER -That all! other preparations, if
Colorless, are mere decoctions.b Dings, or produced
simply to obtain the odor and witn the acientifio
or practical knowledge of tit) matter which many
years of labor has given us.
REMEMBER. OB KNOW NOW-That all
preparations purp irting to be superior to Pond's
Extract because they have color,are colored simply
because they have crude, and to unprofessional peo
ple using them, perhaps danger m* matter in them,
and should never be used except under the advice
and prescription of a Physician.
REMEMBER AND KNOW—That our re r7
expensive macuiuery is th 1 result of SO years of ex
perience (th* most of which was entirely given to
this work), and constant attention to the production
of all forms of liamame is, and that therefore we
shou!d knew what we assert, tba Pond's Extract is
the beet, purest, anl contains more virtues of th*
shrub than any o:her productio J yet made.
