Rosea from Cuttlnsa
European horticulturists sometimes
adopt this mode of planting rose cut
tings so as to root with more certainty.
They bend the shoot and insert both
ends in the ground, leaving a single
bud uncovered at the middle and on
the surface of the ground. The cut -
tings are about ten inches long, and
are bent over a stick laid fiat on the
ground, holes being dug on each side
of the stick for the reception of the
ends of the shoot. The roots form
only at the lower end of the shoot, but
the other end being buried, prevents
evaporation and drying up. A cor
respondent of the London Garden says
that he has tried this, along with the
old mode, and that, while the weaker
cutting of the latter have shown symp
toms of dying and failure, all the for
mer have grown vigorously.
Fnrftiiips for Anlmnla.
"When mixed with hay and other
dry feed, parsnips are valuable for
horses and cows, the feeding being
commenced gradually, as with roots
generally. They possess an important
advantage over other roots, in that the
crop may be safely left in the ground
all winter, as freezing does not injure
them when they thaw out in the
ground, and thus the labor of late au
tumn harvesting is avoided. They are
easily dug in spring by plowing a
furrow close to the row and away
from it, and pulling them out by hand
—a few bushels being taken out at a
time as needed. A quarter of an acre
yielded 100 bushels last year on our
grounds, or -400 bushels per acre,
notwithstanding the extraordinary
drouth. As the tops start to grow in
spring they are rapidly cut off with
sharp hoes, and thus the roots are kept
for feeding for several weeks— Country
Gentleman.
Fruit Culture.
The annual report on "Fruit Cul
ture" issued by the Michigan State
Horticultural Society, contains results
of the experience of its members and
many practical directions. A member
who advocates summer pruning of
small fruits applies it to the straw
berry by keeping the runners cut. by
which crown upon crown is added and
the size and the productiveness of the
fruit increased. He applies it to rasp
berries and blackberries by pinching
back, to concentrate the bearing wood
and admit free passage between rows
for cultivation and gathering the crop.
Black caps require, in his opinion,
more pinching than red raspberries,
and early thinning, the leaves secures
well-ripened wood. Thinning in time
will make weak-growing sorts strong.
Thinning the peach crop is generally
recommended. Some growers thin out
one half to two-thirds of the fruit on
loaded trees, leaving the peaches seve
ral inches apart. Some do not thin
until early in July, others do it early
in June or before the pits harden, as
that is believed to be the process which
exhausts the trees.
Professor Beal, on the subject of
cross-fertilization, says that crossing
strawberries is easily accomplished.
all that is necessary is to plant two
sorts together. But grapes fertilize
before the flowers open, hence the
covering must be removed and the
stamens be carefully cut away and a
paper bag be placed over the flowers to
prevent any outside pollen from reach
ing them. The pollen having been
previously gathered and secured in a
bottle, is applied within a day or two.
It is easily gathered for this purpose,
whole stamens being cut off and drop,
ped in the bottle. Apples are easily
crossed, and are the best fruits for the
novice to work on. Cut all the star
: mens away before the blossom of a
cluster, and remove the others. In a
day or two touch the five stigmas with
the selected pollen. It i§ easier to
effect crosses in glass-houses, in the
absence of wind or insects, which often
disturb results.
Plowing in green rye for enriching
orchards has its advocates, who espe
cially recommend this course in peach
orchards. The seed should be sown
in August, so as to secure a dense
growth before winter. It must be
turned under in the spring as soon as
the heads begin to apppear. A single
crop is insufficient, the green manur
ing should be continued year after
year.
Household Hints.
The water used in mixing bread
must be tepid. If it is too hot the
loaves will be full of holes.
To make a clothes line pliable—Boil
it an hour or two before using it. Let
it dry in a warm room and do not al
low it to "kink."
To boil potatoes so that the will be
dry and mealy—When the skins break,
pour off the water and let them finish
cooking in their own steam.
To remove starch or rust from flat
'irons—Have a piece of yellow bees,
wax tied in a coarse cloth; when the
iron is almost hot enough to use, but
not quite, rub it quickly with the bees
wax and then with a clean coarse
cloth.
It is not generally known that mint
gauce will keep if bottled, and be as
good or even better than when freshly
gathered. Of course I do not mean
that it will keep indefinitely, but for a
week or ten days at least. This will
will be good news to the family to
whom it is not alone the first swallow
but the first mint-sauce which makcj
the summer.- - New York Evening
Post.
Venoiu of Serpents.
A remarkable discovery in toxicolo
gy, the science of poisons, has recently
been made in this city by Drs. S. "Weir
Mitchell and Edward T. Reichcr*.
Tht sso gentlemen have for some time
past been conducting an elaborate
study ot the venoms of almost -all
American serpents, the bites of which
are poisonous, as well as many foreign
ones, and the recent report is made up
from selections from their notes. l p
to this time all observers have regard
ed the venoms a- representing a single
poison, but the researches of l>r. Mitch
ell and IM\ Heichert goto show that
many of them contain two and several
separate poisons.
The venoms especially mentioned
are those of the rattlesnake, the moccas
in, and the copperhead, which were
obtained in a fresh state, in which
they are all in the form of a slightly
turbid, yellowish fluid. Dried cobra
venom was also produced from Calcut
ta, India. It was found that in drying
the venoms about seventy-five per cent
of their weight was lost, and that in a
state of aqueous solution all the prop
erties of the fresh venom were pre
served, except that the intensity of
the poison was slightly diminished.
The reports show that the venom of
the moccasin snake contains three pro
teides—one analogous to peptones,
and a putrefacient; one akin to globir
lines, and a much more fatal poison,
probably attacking the respiratory cen
ters, and destroying the power of the
blood to clot, and a third resembling
the albumens. The external symptoms
caused in animals by the several ven
oms—cobra, rattlesnake, moccasin, or
copperhead -do not ditrer radically,
save in degree. In all alike, there is
some primary heart disturbance, tem
porarily lowered blood pressure, fatal
enfecblement of the respiratory centers
and local effusion of blood with lessen
ng or loss of its power to clot. These
atter symptoms are best seen when
the animal experimented upon sur
vives for some hours, or a day, and
then, also, is noticable the breaking
down of the capillaries and the tenden
cy to local putresence and gangrene-
Cobra venom is proved to be the most
intense in its poisonous power, the
venom of the copperhead next, then
the moccasin and rattlesnake. The in
vestigations in this line are as yet far
from complete, and accordingly these
facts are not asserted as being final or
at all conclusive. — Philadelphia Rec

The Howling Monkey.
The howling monkeys are the larg
est found in America, and are celebrat.
Ed for the loud voice of the males. Of
ten in the great forests of the Amazon,
or Orinoco, a tremendous noise is heard
in the night or early morning, as if a
great assemblage of wild beasts were
all roaring and screaming together.
The noise may be heard for miles*
and it is louder and more piercing than
of any other animals, yet it is all pro
duced by a single male bowler sitting
on the branches of a lofty tree. They
are enable*! to make this extraordinary
noise by means of an organ that is
possessed by no other animal. The
lower jaw is unusually deep, and thi 9
makes room for a hollow, bony vessel
about the size of a large walnut, situa
ted under the roof of the tong le, and
having an opening in the windpipe by
which the animal can force air into it.
This increases the power of its voice,
acting something like the hollow case
of a violin and producing those mar
velous lolling and reverberating sounds
which caused the celebrated traveller
Waterton to declare that they were
such as might have had their origin
in the infernal regions. The howlers
are large and stout-bodied monkeys
with bearded faces, and very strong
and powerful grasping tails. They in
habit the wildest forests; they are very
shy, and are seldom taken captive
though they are less active than many
other American monkeys.
The Enr.
Perhaps the most acceptable theory
to-day is the one which places the ori
gen of the trouble in the inner ear-
The ear consists of three parts: the
outer of these runs in as far as the
drum; the middle part is the inside of
the drum, and contains the chain of ear
bones; while the inner ear is a compli
cated affair, containing the essential or
gan of hearing.
As far as we are concerned, the in
ner ear is a membranous bag filled
with fluid, and situated in the solid
bone. From the back part of this
bag run out three semicircular tubes
communicating at both ends with tho
bag or vestibule. These run in three
different pianos, and are lined with
hair-like nerve-filaments, which are
much more numerous and sensitive at
the anterior part of the tubes. The tubes
are filled with liquid in which float
little calcarious particles, the otoliths.
These tubes are known as the semicir
cular canals. It was difficult to see
what connection with the sense of
hearing these canals could posssbly
have, and some time ago it was noticed
that injuries to these impaired the
sense of hearing in no way, but caysed
most curious effects in the loss of the
equilibrium.— Popular Science Month

Mrs. THOMAS ATKINSON, of No. 23 Ring Street,
Providence, R. 1., joins the exultant multitude in glad
praise nnd thanksgiving. Mrs. A. says:
"A few months ago I was taken seriously 111 and
obliged to gi ve np my accustomed household duties, and
receive medical treatment, and grew worse continually
until I was confined to my bed, in spite of the doctor's
prescriptions and the best advice that I could get. My
Mifferings were very severe from the excruciating pains
in my bsck, and my legs were very badly swollen, nt
tended with severe pains, which were supposed to be
caused by tho rhouraatism. Alriendof mine who called
to-see me nrged mo to try Hunt's Remedy, stating that
he knew of the wonderful cures of several parties who
hnd taken this medicine, in cases which seemed very
much like mine, excepting that they were in much worse
condition than 1 was. I consented to try the Remedy,
nnd begun to take it as directed, and before I had fin
ished taking one bottle the improvement in me was
great-, and it continued constantly, so that after I had
.ill.en loss than three bottlos I was able to resume my
household dut-es and do my work easily, although I had
b.--1> confined to the bed several weeks. The swelling
my lirn'-s li'S disappeared, and the lameness and
p.iins in my bft-k aro gone, all gone. For all of which,
under the blessing of a kind Providence, lam indebted
(o Hunt's Kemody, and I believe that it is my duty and
privilege to inform all who are suffering in like manner
if the remarkable curative and restorative powers of
tnisremody. which I cheerfully recommend to all who
are afflicted with Kidney Disease and Dropsy."
"Never Known to Fall."
This motto was adopted some years ago for the won
'-•rful Kidroj medicine. Hunt's Remedy. It was a bold
'inner to carry, for Ilnut's Remedy is recommended for
mine of the most fatal maladies—Bright's disease and all
Kidney, bladdr. liver and urinary complaints. Hunt's
Itemed/, the great kidney and liver medicine, is indeed
a positive cure, and really is ''never known to fail."_
