AGRICULTURE. A VALUABLE THEE.— The eucalyptus globulus, which is being introduced into California, has many qualities which re commend it to Eastern sylviculturists. It comes originally from Australia, where the tests of various soils aud varying reasons have amply demonstrated the good quali ties of the tree and its rapid growth even under adverse surroundings. Trials of late years in Southern Europe have further ver ified these claims, aud there is no aeason why the tree will not flourish in every s -c --uon of the United Stales. It is hardier than the chestuut, a'id like the latter, it will grow in the rockiest of soils. It is more independent of raiu-food than any tree known in this country, wet and dry seasons alike failing to effect its growth, its wood is hard, somewhat of the nature of yellow pine, but firmer aud stronger, and fit for use in ship timbers while iu Austria, cabinet makers, wheelwrights and earoenters use it throughout their trades, The bark yields a febrifuge second only iu efficiency to quinine, but superior in all medical qualities to cinchona. 1 his quali ty alone must make the tree invaluable, and its culture here, to an appreciative ex tent, would settle forever the vexed ques tion of quinine duties. The rapidity of its giowth is its most wonderful teature. It grows four times as fast as the Americau pine, and for all ordinary purposes is tit to cut in five or six years. For the Eastern and Middle States, where the lack of forest protection is not infrequently felt, no tree has been offered the culturist that cau pre sent so many primary points of advantage as this Australian immigrant, and its gen eral introduction and culture should be a maiter of but little time. It may be added the Hue ttee yields fragrance; but produces no fruit or nut. its strength goes direct y into trunk and bark. Its beauty of form aud luxuriant evergreen loiiage are addi tional qualities that must recommend it in country or city. PROGRESS OF HORTICULTURE. —Among most gratifying evidences of progress are ihe numerous acquisitions of new and val uable varieties, by which the season of our fruits is greatly prolonged with the ac cession of early and late varieties. By the better knowledge in the keeping and pack ing of fruits, aud the facilities of transpor tation, our markets are now supplied with fruits throughout the whole year, lustead of the strawberry for three or four weeks, as formerly, we now have it four or five months, the peach from four to six months, the pear from eight to ten months, the orange and apple the year round, ami the smaller fruits in their season; so he who has tue means may replenish his table dai'y with sncb variety as uo other nation can produce. The process of h) bridiza - lion is simple, whether by the air, insects, or the baud of man. and we have only to have due regard to the characteristics of the parents front which we breed. Thus, as it were, "line upoD line and precept upon precept," I have endeavored to im press on you the importance of this branch of our science, and as it was my first, so it shall be my continual aud last advice: "Plant the most mature and perfect seeds ot the most hardy, vigorous, aud valuable varieties; and as a shorter process, insuring more cei tain and happy results, cross or hybridize your best fruits." A PRACTICAL lruu grower gives the fo'- lowiug as his system of orchard manage ment; "In three years I improved the production of my fruit trees from 15 to 200 bushels by treating them iu the following manner: I first reduced the top one fourth, then in the fall I plowed the soil as well as 1 could, it being quite rocly, and turned a short lurrow toward the trees. As 1 worked from tiiem I let the plow fall a little lower and when between the trees I allowed the plow to run deep, so that the water would setlle away from them in the spring. 1 hauled a fair quantity of coarse manure, pulverized it well and marked out hills, manuring each hill. I planted corn and beans aud pumpkins. The following spring I repeated the same cultivation. My trees began le grow very last, and that fall I harvested 70 bushels of very good apples. The following spring 1 manured for the third time, planted it to potatoes, which grew very large, but rotted badly. I made up the loss, however, by harvesting 200 bushels af large fiuit. 1 changed the pro duction of a yellow belleflower tree lrom three-fourths of a bushel to seven oushels, and sold them for $1.25 per bushel, which I think a very good return for my labor. From my experießce, I am of the opinion that most trees have too much top for the amount of roots, and a defiency ot nour ishment for producing a developt d fruit. 1 like fall or winter pruning. Alwavs cov er the cut with giafting wax or thick paint. Aftea removing the limbs by thin ning out the centre of the tree, it has a tendency to grow broad. Too many vari eties are bad." THE following tiees are named as tbe best for planting artificial forests in the western states; - Yellow cotton wood; mak ing a saw log or rail cut sooner than any other tree; osage orange, giving strong and lasting timber; and not troubled by in sects; the hardy catalpa, of quick growth and lasting timber; white elm and western plane tree; black -wall ut, one of the most valuable of trees; soft maple, furnishing in a short time a great amount of fire wood; and tbe fast growing willows, the silver poplar, tbe cot lon wood and the Loinbardy poplar. PETER Henderson recommend the fol lowing mixture as a remedy for mildew on rose bushes; Boil one pound of sul phur and one pound of lime in two gallons of water until it is reduced to three quarts. After settling, pour it into a bottle or jar to keep. Before using it add 150 times as much water to each portion of the bottle, so that it will not be so strong as to injure the leaves. _________________ Constant Sources oj Jtaiectricity.—A section suitably cut in a heinihedral crystal with inclined surfaces and placed between two leaves of tin, constitutes a condenser which is capable of charging itself when compressed. With this system we may realize a new instrument, a condenser source, which posses special properties. It may serve as a standard of static electricity for measuring charges and capacities. The authors give in this memoir an abselute measurement of tbe quantities of electrici ty liberated by tourmaline and quartz un der a given pressure. Angular distance of Colors. —The projection of a table of colors upon the sides or an equilateral triangle renders it possible to determine the exact angular distance of the colors, a result which has not yet been obtained, and which suffices to connect together the facts at present known. The author gives a diagram rep resenting the law of the mixture of colors, and which will be advantageously substi tuted for Newton's rule. In bis address at tbe York meeting of the British Association, Prof. Huxley pre dicted that 50 years hence, or in the cen tennial year of the association, whoever undertakes to record the progress of pake • ontology will note the present time as the epoch in which the law of succession of the forms of the higher animals was deter mined by the observation of pa'aeontologi- C&l facts. DOMESTIC. FRIED POTATOES. —Raw potatoes, peel, cut iu rings the thickness of a shilling, or cut in ouc continuous shaving; throw them into cold water until you have sufficient; draiu on a cloth; fry quickly in plenty of hat fat, and with as little color as possible; dry them well from the grease, ami sprinkle with salt. When nicely done ami piled up properly, they make a tine side dish, which is always eaten with great relish. Or cut a potato lengthwise the size and shape of the divisions of an orange, rim them neat ly aud fry them ; they are an excellent garnish for meat. Cold potatoes may lie cut iu slices somewhat less than an inch thick, and fried in like manner. They can also be fried with onions, as an accompaniment to pork chops, sliced cod, red herring, or with a rasher of bacon. Ano tli cf nice way is to boil them ami let them become cold, then cut them into rather thick slices. Put a lump of freah butter into a Btew-pau, add a little flour, about a leaspoonful for a moderate sized dish; when the flour has boiled a short time in the butter, add a cupful of water and a little cream; boil all together; then put in the potatoes covered with chopped parsley, peppei ami salt: stew them for a few minutes, and then take them from the tire and send t > the table. [Detroit Free Press.] Mrs. C. Whipple, 371 Crogban Street, presents these facts: For six years I had suffered beyond all expression with scia tic Rheumatism ami tried every known remedy, but all to no purpose. At last 1 saw iu the Fret Press an advertisement of tue St. Jacob's Oil,tried it ami am well. 1 can walk without limping ami sleep fieo lroui any piuu. >\ K notice in the Mining and Scientific Press a formula for making olive oil on a small scale, as produced in California, comparing this with a description in the Pharmaceutische liamlelsblatt of the manufacture of olive oil in southern Prance. In California they grind the olives before pressure. This appears to be an error; they should be crushed be tween two stones turning against each other vertically. We can quite under stand thai crushing leads to quite diller eut results to grinding. In cider-produc ing counties iu England apples are prepar ed for caier in the same manner that the French prepare their olives, by grinding them under revolving stones. Cider thus prepared will keep for years, anil improves with age, some say, on account of an essential oil pressed from the apple pips. In America cider is made from crushed or chopped apples, and possesses neither the flavor or the keeping properties of that produced in Devonshire or Hereford shire, England. There is another poi"t, which may be important on the "Rhone." The oil when filtered is stored in stone vessels. On the Pacific they use tin cases. [Wayne Co., (Ohio) Democrat] Mr. William E. Snvder of Weal Leba non, Ouio, says: For so ue time past I had been severely atll cted With Rheuma tism. treeing an advertisement of St. Jacobs Oil, I procured a bo.tie, aud 1 could feel the effect of the Oil ujon the first application. 1a n now entirely well after using one bottle. PRESERVING PUMPKINS. —Pumpkins a dapfcd to culinary purposes can be preser ved not only all winter, but up to the fol lowing summer, which is perhaps longer than may be desired. But for winter a pumpkin pie is not excelled for delicious uess by any other, if the cook knows as well how to make them as everyone shoul i Some persons use it also as a sauce, aud it is very good if properly prepared. W hen we were in the habit of preserving pump kins we selected the "Yankee squash." as it was called, but other good kinds will an*wtr as well. These we placed on a scaffolding put up in the cellar, allowing them to lie side by side, but only on a sin gle layer. We useu them as nee led through the winter, and found that from a dozen to a dozen and a half very ample to supply the family as long as we cared for them. On two occasions we kept one or two over to discover how long they would keep, and we louud them in good condition in Au gust, but that was about the end of their time. Unlike other cathartics, Dr. Pierce's "Pellets" do no render the bowels costive after operation, but, ou the contrary, es tablish a permanently heaithy action. Being entire/g vegetable no particu'ar care is required while using them. By druggists. SI-EARING OF TOAST, comparatively few know what really good toast is. Aha ty siuge of one or both sides does not make toast; nor do thin slices of bread dried through. Cut slices of uniform thickness, a plump one-half or two-eighths inch; move around over a brisk fire, to have all parts toasted alike ; keep only so near the coals that the pieces will be heated through when lioth sides are wrell browned. If the slightest point is blackened scrape it off, or it will spoil the flavor of the whole. If covered with sn earthen bowl, it will keep both warm and moist. A clean towel or napkin will answer if it is to go at once cn the table. But nobody can make good toast out of poor bread. fetale bread may be used for milk toast; sour bread may be improved by toasting it through ; heavy bread makes poor toast. Sweet, light bread, only a clay old, or less, makes the best toast. Certain Knowledge. We know whereof we allirm when we say that Warner's Safe Kidney aud Liver Cure has performed more wonderful cures than any medicine ever brought before the American public. BREAD PUDDING. —Half a pound of stale bread, soaked in warm water for ten min utes. and wrung dry in a clean cloth ; one quart of milk, four eggs, yolks and whites well beaten together; two ounces ot butter, one even teaspoonful of salt, half a pound ot well-washed and picked currants, dried in a towel; one coffee-cup light-brown su gar, half a grated nutmeg; mix well; butter the pan, and bake for three-quarters of an hour in a hot oven. Ccst about 30 cents, at present; when eggs are cheaper, 25 cents, and is sufficient for eight people. CUCUMBERS STUFFED. Select short, thick cucumbers and split iu two. Scoop out the seeds and part of the meat. Fry a teaspoonful of grated onion in butter, and salt, pepper and nutmeg, the inside of the cucumbers, anil some bread soaked in wa ter and squeezed. If too dry add a little gravy or some melted butter. Stir until well mixed and heated through. Fill each half cucumber with the mixture; put some bread crumbs with a little piece of butter on the top ; lay in a pan, the rouud side down and bake. ORANGE ICE. —To make a delicious orange ice take six oranges, use the juice of all and the grated peel of three, two lemons (the juice only), one pint of sugar dissolved in one pint of water; freeze as you do ice cream. HUMOROUS. A ROY walked into an office on Laurel greet with a pocketbook in his band and inquired if Mr. Blank was in. "That's my name," replied one of the gentlemen. "Well, there's a wallet with your name in it." "Yes. I lost it this morning." Ue received it, and the boy started down stairs but was halted by the call; "Say, boy, what's your name?' "O, that's all right,'' replied the Isiy as lie backed down. " 'hain't worth your saying I'm an honest boy and offering me ton cents for my trouble, for there was only flftv cents in the wallet, and ma used that to buy some soap and a new clothes iine. "GOI.DK* MEDICAL DISC IVERY" (Trade mark registered) is not only a sovereign remedy for consumption, but also for con sumptive night-sweats, bronchitis, coughs, spitting of blood, weak lungs, shortness of breath, and kindred all CM >us of the throat and chest. By druggists. A YOUNG man advertised for a private tioardiug house where hu would he treated as one of the family. He got it. But after he he had stayed at home fourteen nights to take care of the baby, had been utilized cold mornings to build the lire, fouud himself minus towels eight or ten times : on which ocoosious he wiped his face and hands on his night shirt, and sev eral other things not worth motioning, he became discouraged and left, while the rest of the faimlv sagely agreed that some people do so deteriorate by contact with the world that they are unable to appreci ate home comforts. A LOVABLE man: Jones was an old bachelor whose temper was not the sweet est and who did not like to be questioned. The other evening, just as supper was ready, be went out and kept it waiting half an hour. When he came hack the landlady said sharply ; "Well, Mr. Jones, why did you go out just previously to sup per in that way?" "Because, madam," be answered, "I couldn't go out just pre viously after supper in that way.'' The landlady closed her mouth for repairs. Indulgent parents who allow their chil dren to eat heartily of high-seasoned food, rich pies, cake, Ac., will have to use Hop Bitters to prevent indigestion, sleepless nights, sickness, pain, and, perhaps, death. No family is sate without them iu the house. CITY belle (meeting country aunt) : "O, I'm so glad to see you ! Come and sie us next week, do, for I'm a going to have a german on Thursday." Aunt (with sever ity) : "Not I, child ; I don't want to see auy one of the family tnat's going to make a 100 l of herself by marrying a foreigner." A CHEERFUL face is as good for an in valid as healthy weather. To make a sick man think he is d>ing, ali that is nec essary is to look half dead yourself.

The demand of the people for an easier method of prepariug Kiduey-Wort has in duced the proprietors the wholesale drug gists, Wells, Richardson & Co., of Bur lington, Vl., to prepare it for sale in liquid form as well as iu dry form. It saves all the labor of preparing, and as it. is equally efficient it is preferred by mauy persons. Kidney-Wort always anil everywhere proves itself a perfect remedy. SAID Sidney Smith, "It you masthead a sailor for not doing his duty, why should you not weathercock a parishioner for not paying his pew ient ?" If this hint should be acted on, a large number of church memliers would gel nearer to heaven while here than they wiil after death. THE profundest fact that a man stands upon, and out of which he is developed— that which constitutes the very sap and fibre of his manliness —is his moral sense. This alone, when upright and pure, makes him a compact stability in society as well as in his private relations. PEOPLE restraiu noble impulses, gand thoughts, warm affections, keen sympa thies, under the delusion that they are thus purifying or refining their natures. The truth is, they are only impoverishing and debasing them. It is both cowardly and selfish to decline to use gifts which might be made helpful and encouraging to humanity. Lydia E.
