Much money liai been tnftda ty farmers and g.ir.Ieners in raising ontn seed, and the busiLess is still profitable in many localities Uut tl e crop requires care and a:teiitiou to ensure proper returns for the labor of cultivation. An ex pert advises that the soil in which to grow onion seed should be moderately rich, but if over-abundantly manured the blossoms are Labia to blight and no seed will be produced. Select the very best onions and avoid those with thick necks Omon roots run down deep, and it Is therefore essential that the subsoil should be five from stgn:wt w;ter. Low, mucky land that will produce good crops of onions will not always produce onion seed. As soon as the seed-pods rijen, which is shown by their becoming yellow, they should be cut and spread thinly under shelter to dry. theu threshed and cleaned, being sure that it b tlio.ouily dry before storing away in bulk. How to Tkst mds To farmers who have neither hot-teds nor green houses the following i recommended as an easy method to test seeds, and ore that can be tried in any warm room: Take a Ji h. or a number of theu. ac cording to the varietyof seeds you wt.li to test, and put over it a narrow, thin board, like a shingle. Across this board place a sheet of blotting paper, m thai the ends will touch the bottom of the di-h. Fill the dish with ?.!-, and sow the seeds on the top of the paper. Keep this in a wrin room :ud await the sprouting of the seeds The blotter will tecume saturated, and so remain, and the experimenter shou'd see tlmt the supply of water do s not become exhausted. If the seed be Tresh it will sprout; if old it will mould. I-ri;e seeds, like peas, corn, etc., should have an additional paper put over th-ui. Ql'alitt of Swekt Cons.

Harden had been up since 3 o'clock to make certain dishes because her hus band liked them. He thought, as he ate them now, that mother's biscuit were even crisper than usual and her chops lone to ft torn ; but he did not tell her so.

Moths. The damage done by moths is quite erious in many homes, and to prevent it, requires mnea vigilance at this season of the Tear. The life of a moth is s milar to that of a silk wot m, aud it is the worm which does the damage. The moth-miiler lars her eggs in the best feeding ground she can And for the future l.fe of the worm, which feeds on wool, Lemn, fur, and feathers This worm then spins its tiny cocoon and retires to emerge again ss ft moth miller. The latter makes her aprear ance between the middle of April and the last of June, and if the eggs are in any garment when put away, it will lss dumagtd in the fall, no matter how many preventives have been used. The best precaution is to hinder the moth-miller from depositing eggs where the worm can do damage. Give the garments to be put away. and which can not be washed, a thorough shaking and brushing, and expose them to the sun's rays a few hours Then put them into paper flour sacks; fold the edges of the sack and paste over it ft thickness of muslin or paper. thereby sealing it so securely that the moth-miller can not get in. Another way to outwit her is to paper ft large box on the inside, fill it with the woolen garments fit on the cover, th. n paste paper all over the outside. lo protect furniture and cirp.'ts saturate strips of red flannel with a solution of arsenic, and lay them under the edge of the carpets inside the lining of the furniture covers The worm will eat of them and die. Moths are fond of baby's clothes. If the miller finds a Frx.t where milk has been, she will deposit Ler eggs there. A wool mattress is another place for which she shows great par tiality and it is hard to prevent her from depositing eggs somewhere in it. The best remedy is to prop the mat tress up on blocks of wood out in the yard, and at under it a dish of live coals on which you must sprinkle su'- pnur irom tune to time. Care must t used to prop it high enough not to become scorched. Kemember that whatever yon nse must be used in time to prevent the moth from deposit. ng her eggs as there are few things that will kill the worm. Oil of cedar, turentine, cam phor, oil of cloves or wintergTeen will keep the worm away, but evaporate quickly, and should be used early and renewed often. 1 hey kill neither moth nor worm, and must bo strong to Deeneetive. Aeucrra. A Noble Revenge. De Quinoey, in his "Literary Remin iscences" gives abeau iful anecdote, il lustrat.ve of the nobility of ft generous heart, which will no doubt please our yoiiu? readers id 1 from which they may lea n ftvaiuaiiie lesson. An oliicer in the army one day struck a conini n soldier. He was young r.nd hot-tempered; and he forgot the re sect due to himself, and thu duty he owed his neighbor. The soldier whom he strnck was a young man too, and noted for bis coulaje, he felt the in sult deeply. Military discipline forbftde that he should return the blow; he could only use words. P rha; s he was hot tem pered, also; for he said to the officer: I will make you repent it!" So they were ill friends One day, in the heat of ft furious en gagement, the young soldier saw an officer who was wounded, and separated from his company, gallantly striving to force hia way through the enemies who surrounded him. He recognized his in snlter, and witho it a seoond thought rushed to his assistance. Supporting the wonnded man with his arm, together they fought their way through to their own lines Trembling with emotion, the officer grasped the hand of the soldier, aud stammered his gratitude. "Xohle Binn!" he said, "what a re turn for an insult so wantonly given!" The young man pressed his hand in turn, and with ft smile said gently: "I told you I would make yoa repent it" From that time they were brothers Fbascis Hcbkb, the Swiss naturalist, lost his sight at an early age, became an eminent entomologist an 1 wrote on bees, an La and other insects. At regular meeting of the Wash ington Chemical tSoclety, held recently, lr. Thomas Taylor, of the United States Department of Agriculture exhibited a new flash ligtit Intended to tate the place of several kinds wtioh have of late proved highly dangerous in practice. The composition of It. Taylor's new flash light consists largely of charcoal made from the si.ky down of the milk weed, a form of carbon which he prefers to all others, because of its fieedom from ash. A few grains of this i.ew c "in position placed on tissue paper aud lighted by a punk match produced a p.ompt aud blinding flash, while it was obrved that th -raper cn which the itoudcr rested was not evn scotched. The fl-u-h being in stantaneous, the beat Is not sufficient to ignite the most intlatniuable material on which the ioder may rest. Dr. Tavlor detuouttraUd this by usin', with the tame taper for a base, an iu feiior flash light, which set fire to the paper at once. This is owing to the comparatively slow combustion of the chemicals used in the inferior grade. Ir. Taylor said that the powder of his new flash light will not explode either by concussion or friction. 7e. ro A'ha, or white earth, is used exclusively for adulterating candws, yet no le s than 6,000 tons of this sub stance weie recently imported through New York.
