While it is desirable to have plants solely for the children at all seasons, they are especially appreciated during the winter months, when the incle mency of the weather necessitates more or less confinement' indoors. Then there is the hnppiness of owner ship. The gift of a single plant or bulb to the child will all'ord much pleasure, aud may teach valuable les sons in plant growth. Take, for instance, the sacred lily, so admirably adapted for study when grown in water, for then the root sys tem, too, may bo studied without in terfering with its growth. First tiny roots are thrown out from the bulb. The latter is sometimes regarded as part of the root, but it is really a part of the stem, thickened and packed with food to sustain the embryo leaves end blossoms until the plant shall have mado sufficient root growth to gain nourishment from the water or soil. Then come the long leaves, the clus ters of buds, each cluster carefully wrapped in a brownish sheath to pro tect it from harm, and finally comes the crowning glory iu the expansion of the flowers, showing on nn extend ed and much more complicated plan the tiny Bcales found at the base of the petals in some plants, as the but tercup, and concealing the supply of nectnr. Tho hyacinths ore as easily grown in water, and afford as instructive a lesson in plant growth, and as beauti ful and fragrant an ornnment for tho room or dining table. True, growing any bulb in water is an exhaustive drain upon it much more than when grown iu soil but as a teacher of sub terranean growth it has well repaid all expenditure, and if placed in tho ground the following spring it will in a year or two recuperate and come in to a good blooming condition, supply ing innumerous offshoots in the mean time. Bessie L. 1'iitnam. Care of Honey. There is no limit to the time that honey will keep if not abused. Thor oughly sealed comb honey is usually in its highest state of perfection, and extracted honey is just the same pro vuhng it lias been sealed over before, extracted, or left in the comb nntil it thoroughly ripens. Comb honey usually remains in liquid form, but in some mstances it granulates in the comb the same as ex tracted. It bas been said that honey from alfalfa is more apt to granulate in the comb than almost any other, and this has been my experience. Granulation of extracted honey is no detrimeut to it, aud is always proof of its purity. Adulterations, such as glucose, etc., never granulate, hence when you see honey on the markets, especially during the winter season, that is iu liquid form, yon may look upon it with suspicion. Now most people think it the reverse of this, and this is the prinoipal reason that adul teration is practiced to such an ex tent. The bee journals aud produoers of honey generally, have done everything iu their power to educate the masses in regard to this one fact, and progress seems to be slow. Comb honey has never yet been imitated by man, al though it has been published that comb honey is being manufactured by machinery, but it is not true. Comb honey may be adulterated by feeding bees cheap sirups which they will store iu the oombs, but it can only be done through them. Houey improves with age, and the older it is the finer the flavor. Ex tracted honey is much easier kept than comb, as the latter is liable to get soiled and must be kept in tight cases to exclude dust and insects. Extracted houey may be kept iu auy quantity, either in open or tight packages. Tin cans are mostly used, aud a very con venient aud cheap package is tho coui mou fruit can which, haviug a large opening, will admit of removing the honey after granulation and using it in this form. Honey should always bo kept in a dry place, and away from a cellar, ex cept the same is very dry aud well ventilated. Heat does not dumage honey but tends to ripen uud improve it, but dampness aud darkness will not agreo with it. Houey that remains in the comb for some time after beiug stored is always the best article when extracted, but more pounds are secured by taking it away as fast as well stored. A. U.

Boar in miud that iu breeding, like begets like. Boiled oats are recommended for making hens lay. Pepper is a stimulant and not food, and must bo carefully fed. Millet seed iu small quautities may profitably be fed to heus. Too much fed produces lazinehs aud laziness produces disease iu hens. Oil cake, mixed with corn, oats aud brau, is excelleut for molting heus. When u Leu does not sit her time out, ljok for lice, mites or bedbugs. Bye is not recommended for hens. Unless very hungry they will not eat . lo drinking water and clear yards will uo a great deal toward preventing gapes. Tho man who permits geese to roost iu a burn does not care much for cleanliness. One ounce of ground bone to each fowl, every third duy, is what our poultryiiiau feeds. You cannot raise fleas and chickens in the same lien house and be suoccsk !ul with the hitter. Blood ou eggs is pretty sure to in dicate that the hen is too fat aud tho organs are crowded. The lute hatched chickens should be fattened for the table, for they will be worthless for laying or breed ing stock. A frill feed of corn, all they will eat, just before going to roost, will fill the gizzards of the fowls and aid iu main taining animal bent. We do not believe it pays to wait until cold and stormy weather is upon us before providing tho proper shel ter protection of the poultry, but many do. If any broilers are to be 'raised for market the incubator must be brought into use or the business cannot bo condncted on a large enough scale to make the effort profitable. A lot of frosted combs not onlv causes the hens to look unsightly, but is also very unprofitable to the breeder. irosted combs and eggs cannot be found in paying quantities in the same pen. The best way to learn to caro for a large number of hens is to start with a small pen; then by giving them lots of attention and carefully watching and studying them, they will teach you rapidly and well. The morning ration of warm masli always should be given as soon as tho fowls can see to eat it. At noon, two quarts of wheat scattered in the litter is sufficient for fifty fowls. Feed grain liberally at night. WISE WORDS. Politeness is the flower of human ity. Joubert. Of two evils we should always cnoose the least. Thomas a-Korapis.

Johnson. A Nihilist's Definition of Nihilism. I was so fortunate as to meet an Amorioanized Russian who has been instrumental in bringing more of his people to this country than any other person. Ho had been a medical stu dent in Russia, became counected with a nihilist plot, was suspected, arrested, and sentenced to Siberia, but made his escape, and came to this country five years ago. He at once took steps to become naturalized, and now, as Dr. C. C. Youug, is an American oitizen, intensely proud of his adopted coun try, enthusiastic concerning its insti tutions, particularly its liberty of speoch, aud is able to converse in ex celleut English wholly acquired since coming here. "A nihilist," said Dr. Young, "is not on anarchist, nor oven a socialist. He is merely one who desires with ull his heart, and above everything else iu the world, the liberty of speech and action that is the birthright of every living soul, aud whioh is guaranteed to every American by the Constitution of the United States. Oh, you Ameri cans should be the very happiest people on earth, for you have everything that tho rest of the world is striving to gain." Kirk Muuroe, iu Harper's Magazine.

Torridge is what we Americans call mush, and, as is set forth by the nurs ery rhyme, may be mado of other foods besides Indian meal aud oat meal. There is a bean porridge so valuable for people of delicate diges tion that it is strange that it is so rare ly found upon our tables. Wo read ofjthewouderf ully nutritious quality of beaus, aud straightway strive to per suade the weakly members of the family to eat pork and beans, thereby causing the severest pangs of indi gestion. There undoubtedly is great nourishment in well-cooked beans, and for strong people who are able to take sufficient exercise the Boston baked beans are excellent. For those, however, who must deny themselves this appetizing dish the following will be found of groat value: Beans or peas are to be cooked until they are thoroughly soft, then pressed through a sieve to rejeot the shell; butter and salt stirred in as for mashed potatoes; then piled in a baking dish and browned in the oven. Rolled in cro quette shape and cooked in deep boil ing fat, this pulp is also very good. Household Hints. To remove paint from window glass rub a littlo vinegar ou the spots. Good carpets should be brushed daily with an ordinary sweeper, and once a week with a common broom. An excellent furniture polish is made by mixiug turpentine with bees wax to the consistency of a thick cream. A stale loaf may be freshened by dipping it iu scalding water for an in stant, and then placing it in the oven nntil dry. In case of fire quickly close all doors and windows to check the draught, as this may enable you to confine the fire to a single room. A cup of cold-boiled rice may be added to your breakfast muffins or waffles, making them lighter, more easily digested and more palatable. All eold mashed potatoes should be saved for croquettes or potato pnff. The latter is an admirable dish for luncheon. One cupful of mashed potatoes will make six croquettes or a good-sized puff. Stains on white flannel are hard to remove. The best way is to mix to gether equal parts of the yoke of egg and glycerine, apply it to the stains and allow it to soak for half an hour or so before the article is washed. Wash flatirous occasionally with warm water to every two quarts of which has been added half a teaspoon ful of melted lard. Wipe the irons thoroughly aud set them iu a warm place till perfectly free from mois ture. To prevent colored things from run niug, boil a quarter-pound of soap un til nearly dissolved; then add a small piece of alum and boil it with the soap; wash the things in this lather, but do not soap them. If they require a sec ond water, put alum iu tliul also, as well as the rinsing blue water. Milk is an excellent substitute for soap iu washing dishes. It not only softens the hardest water aud gives dishes a clear, polished look, but it preserves the bauds from chapping. It also prevents a greasy scum from ap pearing on the top of the water. The quantity of milk to use is half a cup ful to a diahpan hulf full of very hot water. The drying of clothes in frosty weather is sometimes, in the case of delicate fabrics, attended with tearing, because of the quick stiffening iu the very cold air. A simple precaution which will prevent any such trouble is to dissolve three or four handfuls of coarse salt iu the last rinsing water, thus making it, iu fact, a weak brine.

Cnvlor, the veteran writer, who says ho has still tho heart of a boy, though his bnlr Is gray nnd his years are many, nud who has written many a wiso word for our girls anil boys, speaks as fob lows of n great tb-oelver: "Many of the famous advocates of tem peraneo are dying off, but there is one trumiict-tongned orntor who continues to found his tocsin in every houso that con tains ii Ullilc. It is tho divinely inspired preacher who utters this tremendous warn ing: 'book not on tho wine when it Is ruddy when it glvoth color in tho cup, when It gootli down smoothly; for at tho lust, it bitoth like a ssrpont and stlngeth like an addor.' "Tho serpent quality of alt Intoxicants lies ti their deoopttveness. 'Wine is a mocker, whosoever is doctlvod thereby is not wise.' Tho drinker fancies that his Klas? is dnlntr him irood and nromotlmr hu boalth. Instead of adding to bis strength It excites him for a time, and the reaction leaves him tho weaker. Thousands of peo plo call for liquor nt the restaurants, or set them on their tatolos to promote digestion; and I bavo known persons to cllDg to this fallacy after alcohol bad poisoned thoir stomachs. Tho iieroio Dr. Livingston, of Africa a physician himself asserted that tin could 'stand nny nnd every hardship best by using wator and water only.' I had abonversution with Nanson and thanked bttn for bis published testimony that dur ing tils exploration of Greenland, he found alcohol of no benefit to himself or his men. "Auother doeeptlvo quality in Intoxi cants Is that they steal a maroh on those who tiso them, nud an appetite Is formed before one suspects It. Tho reason is that every glass of llqnor Increases tho doslre for another glass. A tumbler of water or milk satisfies thirst; a glass of liquor In creases thirst. A young man said to a friend of mine: 'This awful drink has used up my money, mined my health, and al most killed my parents. It will soon kill me. I know it, and yet the habit la so strong that I cannot stop It.' And he did not stop; yet when he began to sip his wine he never dreamed that he would die a wretched sot.

Dolbear notes in the American Naturalist, seems to be en tirely tlotermined by the temperature, and this to such degree that one may easily compute the temperature from the chirps per minute. Thus, at sixty degrees Fahrenheit, the rote is eighty per minute. At seventy degrees Fah renheit the rate is 120, a change of four chirps a minute for each degree of change. Below a temperature of fifty degrees the cricket has no energy to waste in musio, aud there would be but forty chirps per minute.
