AGRICULTURE. How To START FLOWER SEEDS. —In the first place we must have a good porous soil for the beds or garden, with well-rotted manure or compost, spaded and raked clean ot lumps and stones, and laid out as the surroundings or fancy may dictate, when it is ready for the hardy an nuals and biennials, It is best to avoid undue haste in these preparations, and not be tempted too far by the fickle warmth of early spring, or we may find our labor lost. Some ofi the smaller seeds are longer in germinating, and those who do not make a hot bed will find it an advantage to sow verbenas, stocks, petunias, cocks combs and the like in boxes in this man uer. Take a box that will hold a peck or a half bushel of good soil, and put in the bottom a few handfute of partly rotted straw, then sift in good garden soil —if not already sandy, mix in sand—and so fill the box nearly full; press it down firmly and smoothly, in rows, and sow the seed thinly, and then sift over it fine dirt enough to cover it nicely, not too deeply; smooth down with a piece of shingle aud sprinkle very carelully, so as to displace the seed. Then wet three or four thick nesses of woolen cloth in hot water, lay over the cloth close down, aud set the box in a warm and not very light place, vVhen the clcth becomes dry, or nearly so, repeat the wetting, and so on till the seed starts. At this point the water should be just warm when used. After the first leaves develop remove gradually to the light, with but a thin cover of cloth (mosquito net will do, using two thicknesses at first.) By giving this attention, there is little fear of failure. • TOE BEST BREED OF Cows Fon A MILK DAIRY. —Each breed has its merits. If a large yield of milk is desired the Dutch or so called Holstein is to he preferred, but these cattle are very high priced and a milkman could not afford to purchase them. Good, well-selected native cows, with short-horn blood in them, are the best in some cases, because they give abundant and good looking milk, and when the milk tails they are easily tatted. No milkman can affurd to raise calves unless be has cheap land and plenty of pasture. If he has these he had better keep Ay rehires; or at least select the best native cows, get a pure Ayrshire bull from good milking strain and raise half breeds. So far as re gards the cost of milk tne Ayrehires, ac cording to their special advocates, take the pa.m over all other breeds, as they are easily fed and milk freely. TARI.E CORK.— With frequent plantings through the season, a dish of boiled green corn cau be on the table daily after the first mess, until late in October. As it is deservedly regarded to be one of the most desi able things that can be eujoyed, there is no reason why even people with a small 1 1 t of land should not indulge in it. There is now an early variety of sugar corn for the first planting that we have found to be excellent. It is called the "Extra Early Crosby Sugar." A single planting of this is sufficient, to be followed by "Stowell's Evergreen Sugar," which is the best vari ety for the geueial crop that we have yet found, and have raised it for the least twenty-five years. A planting should take place every ten to twelve days, and the season will require from six to seven crops at getl er These will give daily supply until nost sets in the latter part of October. AMrzzLEFeR BITING HORSES —There has been a number of inquiries of late as to an easy and effectual method of curing the habit of biting in horses. This dan gerous habit is taught the horse by thought less owners or drivers, by playing with them when colts, or teasing them when full grown. A sharp cut with a whip across the horse's nose when he bites may serve to break him from the habit; bui when the case is worse and incurable, a muzzle for this purpose may be made of . strips of light hoop iron or of leather. A band may be made to encireie the muzzle to which strips of leather or iron are fast ened. At the bottom of the muzzle a round piece of leather should be fastened by rivets to keep the strips in their place. A decoction of strong soap-suds with tobacco stems (the more tobacc the bet ter) will exterminate the red spider and all other insects from all plants and shrubs without the slightest danger of injury. As soon as the leaves of the currant and gooseberry are fairly expanded the "worm" may be looked for. Ihe eggs are laid upon the uuder side of the lower leaves, and if these are removed and de stroyed much trouble is averted. Tchoumaik, the Bandit. There recently expired in the infirmary of the prison at Odessa an individual, by name Vacili Tchoumaik, a native of Ismail, of Kalmuck descent, who during the major part of the ninety-six years of his life ap pears to have been an unmitigated public nuisance. Born about 1785, Vacili grew up to the physical proportions of Hercules and the strength of Samson. He was duly drawn for the conscription, and served his time as a soldier, but he disdained such placid laurels as those which crown the shako of the celebrated Russian drum-ma jor whose waxen effigy, in full uniform and holding a little wax dwarf in the hollow of one big hand, smiles through his mustache upon mankind at Mme. Tussaud. On ob taining his discharge Vacili Tchoumaik adopted brigandage as his profession; and it is estimated that in the course of his ca reer as a bandit, he committed no fewer than eighty murders. During many years he and the outlaws forming his band kept the country round about Odessa in a con tinuous state of terror, while the Russian police rather connived at than interferes with the miscreants' doings. At length an exceptional superintendent named Kboido hevsky undertook the task of abrogating him. The brigand chief was surrounded in a roadside inn where he had taken refuge, and after a sanguinary struggle he aDd several of his followers were captured. The fine old Russian code of criminal juris prudence being then prevalent, Vacili re mained nine y< ars in prison before he was tried. In 1859, however, lie was sentenced to the knout and to 20 years' hard labor m Siberia. The brigand was at ihat period 74 years of age. Five years afterw; rd he escaped and made his way back to Odessa; but he was again caught, tried, and rele gated to penal servitude. Once more, in 1869, he made his re-appearance at Odessa, and after two years' confinement in jail put justice to the trouble of again trying him, and sending him back to Siberia. In the middle of last May this patriarchal bandit made a fifth and final appearrnce in the vicinity of Odessa, and disi in&uished him self by attempting steal a wagon and horses belonging to some German colonists. The sturdy Teutons, however, gave the veteran desperado a very warm reception. They soundly belabored Vac'li and a com panion of his, and, binding them hand and foot, delivered them over to the authorities. Tchoumaik was found to have had seven of his ribs broken, and to have been other wise so roughly handled that he was re moved to the prison infirmary, where, on the 80th ultimo he died. He was ninety six years of age, and but for the drubbing which he received at the hands of the Gej m&n colonists might have survived to have been a ceatennaiian among convicts. DOMESTIC. MILE AND LIME WATER. Milk and Lime water are now frequently prescribed by physicians In cases of dyspepsia and weakness of the stomach, and in some cases are said to be beneficial. Many per sons who think good bread and milk a great luxury, frequently hesitate to eat it for the reason that the milk will not digest readily; sourness of the stomach will often follow. But experience shows, says an approved medical journal, that lime water aud milk are not only food and medicine at early period of life, but also at a later, when, as in the case of infants, the fuuc Hons of digestion and assimilation are feeble aud easily perverted, A stomach taxed by gluttony, irritated by improper food, inflamed by alchohol, enfeebled by disease, or otherwise uutitted lor its duties —as is shown by the various symptoms atteudant upon indigestion, dyspepsia, diarrhtea, dysentery and fever—will re sume its work, and do it energetically, on an exclusive diet of bread aud milk aud lime water. A goblet of milk may have tour tablespoon!uls of lime water added to it with good effect. The way to make lime water is simply to procure a few lumps cf unslaked lime, put the luue in a stone jar, and add water until the lime is slaked and ot about the consistence of thin cream; the lime settles, leaving the puie aud clean lime water 011 the top. NEW PROCESS FOR WASHING LIN EX. — "In Germany and Belgium a substitute has lately been introduced for soda m the laundry, which,'while it has all the deter sive qualities of soda, does no injury to the linen. Two pounds ot soap are dissolved in about five gallons of wattr as hot as the baud ean bear. To this are added oue tabiespoonful of oil of turpentine and three of liquid ammonia. This mixture is then well stirred, and in it the clothes are steeped lor three hours, the washtub being covered up as carefully as possible. Next, the clothes are washed, rinsed and blued as usual. The mixture will serve a sec ond time, only, it must be re-heated aud one-halt spoonful of oil of turpentine and one and one-half of ammonia added to it. l'lns process economizes time, labor and fuel. The clothes are not injured, because the ammonia evaporates very quickly; and as for the suiell of the turpentine, that dis appears in the diyiug." POINTS IN CAKE MAKING. —The butter should be perfectly sweet aud tree from buttermilk; the butter aud sugar should be thoroughly beaten together. Powdered sugar is preterable to granulated, as the latter is slow in dissolving; the whites of the eggs should be beaten to a stiff troth, aud added to the sugar, fruit should be rolled iu flour aud added at the last moment. Soda should be pulver ized and sifted into the cake with the Hour. The hand or a woodeu spoon is best for mixing caae. An important poiut is the heatot the oven. The cake should begin to bake at, once, but should not orowu immediately. The oven door should be seldom opeued while the cake is in. The gem-paus are exce.leut tor bak ing cake, tirst neatiug them as for Graham geuis. PREVENTION OF DISEASE - A man can do his own business the best. IJeLce, it is saler to prevent disease by a proper care of ourselves, living temperately in all respects, using plain aud simple food, than to pay doctors' bills. Especially it is easier to prevent the dyspepsia than to cure it, at least, cases of long standing. Medicine will effect little so long as we eat the richest and most indigestible food; eat at all hours, particularly at bedtime, or eat as if "on a wager," consuming tbe meal by the aid of hot drinks in the short est possible time. Dyspepsia is a certifi cate of wrong and gross eating, ordinarily, or of too much mental effort robbing the stomach. RIBBONS which are veiy much soiled can be made clean and will look almost like new ones if washed m ammonia and water. Use half a teaspoouful ot am monia to one pint f w r atcr. Some ribbons, after washing or sponging, do not need to ne ironed and in fact are injured by it. These should be fastened to a table or long ironing board, and when perfectly smooth, let them alone until they are dry. if they are at all wrinkled when dry lay a cloth which is slightly damp over them and press with a hot iron. Black silk, if sponged with cold coffee and ammonia, will be wonderfully freshened. Use a flannel cloth to remove dust from silk. DIET FOB WALKING.—A famous pedes trian always prepared for his walks thus: He takes a small chop and some cocoa for breakfast. In two hours afterward a raw egg beaten up. His dinner consists of a sago pudding and a small quantity of very raw beef, without drink, and his supper of as mi.ch cocoa and bread and butter as he wishes. Bach day he is allowed a quart of milk and occasional sips of ginger ale. He takes no alcoholic beverages whatever. To CLEAN BLAOK CLOTH, —Dissolve one ounce of bicarbonate of ammonia in one quart of warm water. With this liquid rub the cloth, using a piece of flannel or black cloth lor the purpose. After the application of this solution, clean the cloth well with dear water; dry and iron it, brushing the cloth from time to time in the direction of the fiber. To CUBE A FELON.— As soon as the parts begin to swell get the tincture of lobelia and wrap the part affected with a cloth ; saturate it thoroughly with the tincture and the felon will soon die—poisoned in stead of hung as felons ought to be. This never fails if tried in season. TREATMENT FOR COLDS. —Take two tea spoonfuls of water, one of molasses and one of pain killer ; sip down and cover warmly. It is well to bathe the cnest also with the pain killer. A very bad cold may be broken up directly with this careful treatment. * RELIEF FOR BURNS. —A quick cure is to apply a layer of common salt and saturate it with laudanum. Hold it in place an hour or so by simple bandage. The smart ing sensation will disappear rapidly and the bum get well. FOR SPRAINS —There is nothing better than a strong decoction of wormwood and vinegar. A flannel cloth wrung out of the above just as hot as the patient will bear, and bound on the affected part will give immediate relief. COMBE says, in preserving beef, the ribs will keep longest—five or six days in sum mer—the middle of the loin next, the round next, and the shortest of all, the brisket, which will not keep more than three days in hot weather. To make silk which has been wrinkled appear exactly like new, sponge it on the surface with a weak solution ot gum arabic or white glue, and iron on the wrong side. SOAKING calico just previous to the first wasning in a strong solution of either salt or alum is, excellent to preserve the color. HUMOROUS. ,4 IIi Iml stop that car!"

"I RELIEVE this mind reading business is all nonsense," said Brown. "It's all humbug, 1 tell you," he coutinued. "1 should like to see auylody read my mind. There isn't a man living who can read it."

We perceive by one of our Massachu setts exchanges that Dr. Lorenzo Waite, of West field, an eminent physician of Berk shire Co., strongly indorses St. Jacobs Oil. W1 h it he cured a case of Sciatica that re sisted all regular treatment, and had iu fact been abandoned as incursh'e. In a letter written by Mr. Charles Dar win to Professor Holmgren on vivi-sectlon, he says: "No one, unless he is grossly igno rant of what science lias done for mankind, can entertain any doubt of incalculable benefits which will hereafter he derived from physiology, not only by man but the lower animals.
