Under this name are comprised the
snowdrop, hyacinth, croons, tulips, car
cissuH, iris, anemone, jonquil, etc They
are an very easily cultivated, and a few
words of practical advice may be accept
able. I like a sandy soil for these bulbs,
and if the soil is naturally stiff or clavey.
an addition of two or three inches of
sharp sand, well mixed in by repeated
spading, will pnt it in good condition J
the bed should also be very rich, and a
good coat of fine mannre should be
thoroughly worked in before plan tin a.
Having raked off tbe bed smoothly.
tne bulbs are planted in croups or olus
ters. to suit the taste of the gardener.
The crocuses and snowdrops can be
planted about three inches apart J the
tulips, narcissus and jonquils five or six
inches apart ; the hyacinths about ten
inches. The bulbs shoald be placed
about two inches under the surface of
the bed. It is a good plan to consider
the color the flowers will have, when
planting the bulbs, and group together
colors that harmonize. Thus, pnrple
and yellow crocuses go well together,
and wmte win bear mixing in consider
able quantities with all the other colors,
There is room for exercising a good deal
of taste In the arrangement of colors in
garden beds.
After planting, the bulbs will need no
lurtuer care until sprincr. except that, if
it is desired to have them bloom very
early, it will be desirable- to cover the
bed over in November with a foot of dry
leaves, or other litter, to prevent frost
from entering deeply, and this covering
will need to be removed about March
20, as the bnlbs "come up in the cold,"
as tne om song nas it. The early flow'
ering of these bulbs makes them univer
sal favorites for small beds in the lawn
or area of the city and suburban dwell
ing. They make the beds crav with
flowers at a season when all else is yet
but giving us the fntnre promise of
flowers. They need little room, little
care, little expense, and repay the little
trouble expended upon them most grate
fully. Who would be without a bed of
them?
The bed those bulbs occupy can be
used in May or June for planting gera
niums, verbenas, or any other bedding
plants, for the bulbs can be taken up as
soon as they are done flowering and laid
away to dry, to be planted again in au
tumn. They are so cheaply furnished,
however, by the seedsmen, that few neo-
pie will care to take this trouble with
them. It is worth mentioning that the
croons, tulip and snowdrop may be left
several years, witnont lifting tiie bulbs,
in the same bed, and I have seen cro
cuses thrive in the sod of a lawn, flow
ering among the grass for years in suc
cession. The nowers crown tuns, how
ever, are rather inferior. Florin, in

The pain ctnsed by the sting of a
piuut or inpect is tne result oi a certain
amount of aoid poison injocted into the
blood. The first thing to be done is to
press the tube of a small key firmly on
the wound, moving the key from side to
Biae to taciutate the expulsion of the
sting and its accompanying poison.
The sting, if left in the wound, should
be carefully extracted, otherwise it will
greatly increase the local irritation.
The poison of stings being acid, common
sense points to the alkalies as the proper
means of cure. Among the most easily
procured remedies may be mentioned
soft soap, liquor of ammonia, spirits of
hartshorn, smelling salts, washing soda,
quick-lime made into a paste with water,
lime-water, the juice of an onion, to
baooo juice, chewed tobacco, bruised
dock leaves, tomato juice, wood ashes,
tobacco ash and carbonate of soda. If
the sting be severe, rest and coolness
should be added to the other remedies,
more especially in the case of nervous
subjects. Nothing is so apt to make the
poison active as heat, and nothing favors
its activity less than cold. Let the body
be kept cool and at rest, and the activitv
of the poison will be reduced to a mini
mum. Any active exertion whereby the
circulation is quickened will increase
both pain and swelling. If the swelling
be severe the part may be rubbed with
sweet oil, or a drop or two of laudanum.
Stings in the eye, enr, mouth or throat,
sometimes lead to serious consequences;
in such cases medical advice should
always be sought as soon as possible.
Notes for tbe Orchard nod Unrdeo.
In many portious of the country there
has been such an excess of rain that ar
tificial watering has not (.uggeKted it
self. The summer of Inst year, as well
as the one just past, having been un
usually moist, there is the greater
probability that the coming one will be
dry. There are few localities that do
not have their years of drouth, and
when the facilities are at hand there
should always be provision for irriga
tion. It may be that watering will be
really needed but once in threo or five
years ; it is this uncertainty that makes
it all the more necessary to' be prepared
for drouth when it doe's come. Every
experienced fruit-grower has known
Beasons when an abundance of water
would have given him a yield of straw
berries, the profits on which would have
paid for a much larger outlay than is
ordinarily required to provide means to
irrigate the whole garden : and so with
other crops. In our uncertain climate
the control of water in both directions
is necessary to the best success. Ability
to remove excess by drainage, and to
supply .the deficiency by irrigation,
give the enterprising cultivator a great
advantage over the one who " takes
things as they come." This is a most
favorable time for all work requiring
the removal of earth ; and such improve
ments as road -making, grading, eta, are
not only more sure of being made, but
they will be better done now than in the
busy, but often cold and cheerless days
of spring.

A Power from Permanent Mngaets that
fllay do Ureal Things-Also llareverlna
a Process by whlrb Ordinary Limestone
May bo Made a Firm and Dnrable Mar
ble, A London correspondent of the New
York Evening Pott sends that paper an
interesting letter of which the following
is a condensation !
Harriet Hosmer is well known as a
sculptor of the highest rank, but she
now comes before the world in another
character, and, if the testimony of some
of the best informed savants of England
is worthy of trust, she has placed her
name on a level with those of Fulton
and Morse. One of her discoveries is
of a kind which, it is said, will enable
us to dispense with the present methods
of obtaining power for machinery.
MiBs Hosmer arrived in London last
August, bringing with her the model of
her latest statue, "The Pompeiian
Sentinel." In the preparation of this
model instead of using the traditional
clay, Miss Hosmer first constructed a
rough shape, in plaster of Paris. This
was handled while soft, and the founda
tion of the statue laid. When it had
been brought into general conformity
with the idea existing in the artist s
mind, it was coated to the depth of
about one inch in white wax. The deli
cate touches of the modeling knife were
then all applied to this outer coating,
and when the model was completed it
retained its Bbape, to the finest line and
furrow, without the constant care that a
olay model requires. Miss Hosmer re
gards this method of modeling as far
superior to the old. It gives much less
trouble and can be worked with far
greater ease, besides giving the effect
of marble instead of the dull, gloomy
effect of clay.
" What do you think I've been do
ing ?" Miss Hosmer suddenly asked.
I've turned inventor. I've invented a
contrivance to enable a player to turn
the leaves of music, either on a piano or
on a conductor's stand, and it works
beautifully. But that is a mere toy. I
happened on the idea and worked it out.
What I am going to show you now will
astonish you. You may think I'm crazy
most every one does at first but you
will change your mind when you see my
discovery applied."
Miss Hosmer then went on to show
and describe a discovery she had made.
I am not allowed to repeat all that was
told to me. The essential secret of the
discovery I am obliged to withhold until
Miss Hosmer authorizes a fuller revela
tion. I can only give a general idea
of its application with the testimony of
such savants as have seen it. They are
unanimous in declaring it to be not only
a wonderful novelty but apparently a
thoroughly useful and practical power
producer.
The machine now in process of con
struction for Miss Hosmer by Browning,
on the Strand, is not dissimilar in iis
general design to an electro-magnetic
engine. The 'important feature consists
in an absolutely novel application of the
Esrmanent magnet. There is no electric
attery, and consequently no induced
magnetic action. The magnets are per
manent magnets. They are arranged so
that the whole power is derived from
them, but there is no battery nor any
other device for creating or conveying
an eleotrio current. The power derived
is due solely to the force contained in
the permanent magnet. There has been
no such property known until Miss
Hosmer discovered it. Herein lies the
whole secret, and ; the whole of her
claim to originality. The machine to
which the principle is applied in
genious and valuable though it is is
not an absolute novelty ; but, on the
other hand, this machine is only one of a
thousand applications which can be
made of the principle. If 1 were allowed
to set forth the method adopted to ob
tain this result, I conld cover the whole
explanation in ten lines.
"When I knew that I had succeeded
in finding what I had been seeking for
by study and experiment for fifteen
years," said Miss Hosmer, "I first asked
tue opinion of a well-known Amencan
engineer, Mr. Clarke, a relative of the
Bsv. James Freeman Clarke, of Boston.
Having seen the invention, he assured
mo that I need have no doubts as to the
VHlne and importance of my discovtr.
f then came to England and consulted
Mr. Newton, of the well-known firm of
Newton & Hales. Well, he could scarce
ly believe his own eyes, and I had fo re
pi at my demonstration several times.
Then he made the magnet accomplish
the work himself. His partner. Mr.
Hales, came in, and dropped down nuon
u b knees beside the table as he (aw me
rvpeat my experiment. These gentle
men and Mr. Browninpr. the well-known
mtker of scientific instruments, are all
enthusiastic over my discovery, and are
thoroughly convinced as to its practi
cability.
Miss iiosmer said further that amoncr
others who had been shown the new
principle applied was Mr. John Penn.
Jr., of the well-known works at Green
wich, and she had a letter from him
eiyiog that the discovery aotually fright
ened him, so great would be the revolu
tion in machinery. Prof. Tvndall was
away in Switzerland, but he had had the
prinoiple described to him, and in a let
ter irom jurs. T vndall to Miss Hosmer
he inclosed a message testifying to the
importance and absolute novelty of her
discovery, and saying that he should
give it careful attention on his return to
England.
Mr. Browning is now engaged on a
four-horse power machine for Miss Hos
mer, and it is to be completed this win
ter, when Miss Hosmer will return here
from Borne and have it publicly exhibit
ed. " Bat now I will show you another
of my inventions," Miss Hosmer said,
taking a polished slab from a center
table. " What do you think of that for
a piece of antique marble ? Well, that's
my second invention, an imitation of
marble. It is made from soft limestone.
You know that in Italy and elsewhere
there have been many attempts made to
turn limestone into marble, but hereto
fore they have succeeded only in mak
ing soagliola. I knew all about these
experiments, and it occurred to me that
although dry beat had failed, possibly
moist heat might succeed. So I made a
number of experiments, and finally hit
upon the idea of compression and moist
heat together. At the end of three hours
my retort contained marble instead of
limestone, and you see some of the re
sults before you,"
Miss Hosmer's specimens were cer
tainly beautiful. They were as perfect
marble to all appearanoes as ever was
quarried. Every variety of color and
shades had been used. Some slabs were
of pure white, others deep black; the
delicate cream of the antique and the
rarest green and warmest rose-colored
marbles were imitated to great perfec
tion. These are not ordinary imitations,
which fall into disrepute by their com
monness, Placing a column of genuine
green or cobalt marble alongside of one
of these imitations, no eye could tell
which was the imitation.
I presume the stona tUm B4e will
be available only under cover V' was
asked, " or will it stand the wear and
tear of out-door exposure?"
" Wherever marble can be used this
can be used, for it is marble. Of course
it is not suited for statuary the grain
is not close enough ; bntforall building
purposes it is just as good as marble,
and far cheaper."
" What have yon done about this in
vention, Miss Hosmer I"
" I shall do nothing with it nntil my
other invention is off my hands. I
regard that as of the first importance.
and this as only an accidental piece of
good fortune. The discovery with re
gard to the magnet was the result of
long research, and though I finally suo
ceeded, as much by hit as by wit, still
it was only fair tht I should. At the
end of fifteen years' experiments, I sud
denly hit upon something greater than
I had hoped for ; I feel that it is more
important than the marble, and so I
devote myself to it. I have patented
the marble-making process in the United
States, and I have hod an offer to buy
the right of manufacture there from a
very large manufacturing establishment
m central ew iors.
The above account of Miss Hosmer's
invention of a new motor has called
forth a letter to the Pott from J, Linton
Chapman, an artist now in New York,
who claims this invention is bis own,
wrought out by his own individual
thought and labor, and that Miss Hos
mer merely advanced a small sum of
money for the purpose of completing
the models. On the other hand, Mr.
J. A, 0. Gray, who claims to know both
parties, asserts that Mr. Chapman was
simply Miss Hosmer's business agent,
and that - he invention was wholly the
lady's work.

It is not generally known to what ex
tent we are indebted to worms for the
productiveness of our gardens and fields.
it has been found by a series of experi
ments carried out by a German natura
list that the tnnnels made by worms into
the earth are frequently of muoh oorvioo
to plants whose roots occupy the chan
nels that have thus been made. The
mold of onr garden, and fields, too, is
improved to an almost inconceivable ex
tent by the burrowing of these humble
insects. Each worm, in less than a week,
passes its own weight in nu 'd, and the
soil thus produced is fine aud light, and
extremely helpful to the growth of plants.
When it is remembered that there are in
every acre Borne 84,000 worms and that
in addition to forming every day about
thirty-seven pounds of fine mold they
open up the subsoil and render it fertile,
we shall gain some slight conception of
our indebtedness to these apparently
quiet, insignificant and generally nn-thought-of
little workers.

A Hndden Death.
There is something terrible in the thought
of having our friends stricken down at our Bide,
without a parting word of endearment or oon
solation one moment at our side in the flush
of vigorous life, cheering our hearts with their
loving sympathy ; the next at our feet, pale
with death, deaf to our cries and heedless of
onr tears. Every excessively fat person is in
instant danger of suoh a death. Beven-tenths
of the victims of obesity die of heart disease or
apoplexy. Allan's Anti Fat, the only remedy
for obesity, reduces the weight by regulnting
the digestion and assimilation of the Ltd. It
is perfectly harmless, and its use will iuei re in
every instanoe, a reduction of weight from two
to five pounds a week.
To be of permanent benefit a medicine must
reach the source of the disease. The reason
why Soovill's Blood and Liver Sirup is so suc
cessful in overcoming scrofulous, syphilitic
and eruptive oomplaints is that it entirely
roots out those impurities whioh give rise to
them. The cause of the evil being thus re
moved and the normal purity of the circulation
restored, the skin resumes its original olearness
and sores and pimples disappear. Bold by all

How to Renew Velvets.
Velvet, if wet, becomes hard, knotty,
and shiny, and to all appearances spoil
ed, but oaa be fully restored, looking as
well as when first taken from the store,
if it is made quite damp, wet thoroughly
only not enongh to drip on the
wrong side, and then with the assistance
of another held over a very hot iron,
but not allowed to touch the iron at all.
One should hold the hot iron face upper
most, while another holds the damped
velvet close to the iron. In a few min
utes the " pile" rises, and the velvet be
comes like new; the heat of the iron
sends the water through the tissues of
the velvet, forcing tbe steam out at the
npper side, thus separating the small
flossy fibres that, having been damDened
or wet on the surface, flatten down and
adhete together in hard bunob.es. If
one should attempt to iron the velvet
where it has been wet, it would only
flatten these fibres still more and make
the surface harder; for this reason it is
important that the velvet should not
touch the hot iron.
After the velvet assumes its proper
appearance it is well to spread it over
a skirt board, or table, and brush gent
ly with a soft brnsh. Be sure that it is
thoroughly free from dampness before
putting it away in its proper place.
When velvet is ornshed by packing or
use, hold the parts defaced over a basin
of hot water the lining, or wrong side,
next the water and the "pile" will
soon rise up and look like now. Mrs.
H. W. Beecher.

William Grace., ,
As a general inquiry of " What is Grace's
Balve, and who Is its originator ? " may seem
to be a question worthy of beiDg answered, we
have been induced to give the following brief,
yet truthful account of its history i This Salve
is a vegetable pioparation, invented in tbe
seventeenth century by Dr. William Grace,
u WM "nrBn in King James' army, and
who from that time always need it in his pro
fessional practioe, whenever soreness or inflam
mation presented itself. As a medical agent
for the cure of wcunds, it was followed with
?;reat success, and thousands of the veterans
hat were wounded in the campaigns of 188
and 1GS9 ovied to this salve the salvation of
their lives. Ool. Richard Graor, who was King
James' chamberlain, lntroduoed this Salve into
the royal palace, where it was used with the
greatest suooess, and highly esteemed for its
virtues in the oure of sores. At the siege of
Athlone, Col. Grace ordered it to be adminis
tered to his compatriots who were wonnded
during the memorable day of the battle i and
it was used with suoh success that the head
surgeon of the amy at Aughrim ordered Dr.
Grace to manufacture 100 gross, and distribute
it among the hospitals before the battle. On
the sad defeat at Aughrim, alter Ginkle's army
took possession of the battle-field, several
ambulances, whioh had been abandoned by the
retreating army, were found to contain sealed
cases of the Balve. The English surgeons test
ed it upon their wounded and ascertained its
value, and thus were both of the contending
armies befriended by it Both Dr. William
Grace and Ool. Biobard Grace died in the cam
paign of 1691 the former of disease, the latter
killed in the intrenchmonts of Athlone, with
tbe Hag of his ooontry wrapped around him,
cheering his men on to victory. After the
death of Dr. Grace, the Halve was not need
much outside of his family, until the rebellion
of 1793, when William Grace, grandfather of
the subscriber, applied its virtues, at the bat
tle of Boss, to his brave comrades who fell
wounded while fighting for Mie rights of their
country. This salve was quite extensively used
in certain localities of Ireland, being furnished
gratuitously by tne subsoriuer's parents until
1818, when they left the land of their nativity
and oame to this country, bringing with them
the seoret of the Salve they received from their
ancestors. They continued to make the Balve,
as before, for tneir neighbors, free of charge,
until the fall of 1861, when the frequent call
for it, aud the serious cases cured by it, in
duced the subscriber to bring it into more gen-
rid notice, and to charge a small price for the
article that has received the recommendation
of patriots upon the battle-fields of yore, as
wall as from persons of tbe present day.
