The Cal endula is also in disfavor lor this pur pose, as it is considered unfavorable to faithful love its language being var iously given a "jealous lova" and '"con tempt." The Germans give the Calendula a pretty name, rht'f t-hhunr ring-Mower, while by some authors its langnnge is given as "snored affection." We are told that it wa-t railed Calendula lo calise some of the species were sup ported to be in blossom every month of the calendar.

A well prepared Wd of good rich soil in which to transplant from the hot-bed, or in which to sow the earlier varieties is all that is neces sary. While some of the Tagetes var ieties are better pl.inted in the hot bed, the Calendulas m.iy be sown in the open ground, and onee established will self sow, furnishing plenty of matt rial for ribbon-beds. I s iw an extremely ef fective bed of this sort last season. It ran parallel with a hedk'e at the foot id a slopnis; lane : two rows of F.uphoi bi.i. or Medii-a head formed the back ground, no I two rows of Calendulas the fore-groand. The contrast beten the pale green and snow white of the Euphorbia mxretnata and the delicate but brilliant yellow and orange of the Calendulas was charming. An oval Ims.

It is perfect in torni and regularly ma: ked, the .stripes nrotmd e h elal are of a deep orange color, making a brill. ant appearance. Of the so-called African Tnrieties, El porad'i is the acknowledged king. The plants are large and bushy, of ginsl habit, ami single plants have leeu known to have from aevetitv-tive to one hundred flowers in tu.l bloom at one time. The blossoms are globular, as perfectly double as a show lahha, and of enormous size. They embrace m my shinies of yellow, from its palest prim rose to lemon golden aud deep glowing oranges. Among other sorts, the old-t me Ta getes stguat pumila should 1h planted. It forms a symmetrical bush, globular, with rich green foliage, and densely covered with yellow rlowerx. The Itst effect is secured by planting the tall African varieties in background and and the dwarf French as a foreground. The latter have among them many shades from del cate yellow to the rich est maroon, an ! are both self colored and mottled and striped in an infinite variety of markings. It is a good plan for every amateur to havt some specialty, aud wlioever makes one of the Marigold, in its dif ferent varieties, will have a display which will be unique and unrivalled in brilliancy of coloring.

Terra Cotta urns do very well if painte 1 an 1 having a large, d ep basin; otherwise they need constant care iind watering in summer weather. The urn should not lm too high to be grace ful, aud I think four feet from tlie ground to top of basin is high enou h for any place, and some situa tions will require one of not over two feet in height. The best colors are w hite, light trrey or stone color, a very dark green, and a red so dark as to b almost browu. For a bright showy nrn, pnt in the centre, double scarlet tteraniiinis that produce lurgrt trusses, double whito iierauiunis, and double salmon Geran iums. )oublo Geraniums bloom almost as ireely as the single ones aud hold their blossoms much longer. Ouei n of the Fairies is .1 beautiful Geranium with ss.nion centre and w hite edges. To these a double wlire Tetunia and a white Heliotrope add fragrance and grace. If the basin of the nrn is oval in shape, la one end put an English Ivy witn Ion.? vines and twine t cm sr nind the lower part of the urn and the ped estal, in the other end. put a young ti-cky German Ivy and as the vines grow twine them with the English Ivv. With these use one Ivy Geranium with double white dowers, and one with salmon colored blossoms opposit each other. Several plmuts I t.'ie doable sweet Alyssum. a variegated Viuca I Periwinkle) a good plant of Kairwort, ( O'Ao'kkj l"niiutiu) with its yellow blossoms, aud Moneywort (I.yiu-at titu with yellow blossoms. Another pretty way is to nse double fluk Geraniums with whit ones for the eutre plants; select the rosy shades of pins that harmouie. and they are to be found now from the most delicate hade of pink to the deepest rose color. A purple Heliotrope is pretty with these and tlie purple floweret Manrandia wine with the Ivies for the edge and sweet Alyssnm, and a double white Ivy geranium and a lavender flowered one.

HOUSEHOLD Dessert In Cups. WITH DIRECTIONS FOB PREPARTSO BO MX OF THEM. In seeking for that variety, which is at once so desirable and so difficult of attainment, it will be found an agreeable change to cook many of the ordinary desserts inenps, allowing one for each person, instead of prepar ing the whole in one dish. This way of doing has its advantages, though in volving some extra trouble. A dessert so prepared is more easily served than one which must be helped upon the table. A enp of enstard or blanc mange is much more rapidly chilled than a larger quantity, and often a number of enps can be arranged so as to touch the ice when it would be im possible to place a large dish ujon it.

In perfecting this won derful invention be took a eyden jar aud connected it with w iies by means of two rods, one with the outer and the otter with the Inner coating of the jar. Insulated conductors were next pro vided, in shajie of two long bent wires. The opposite ends of the rods from that in connection with the inner and outer coating of the iar, were placed near the ends of the bent wires which were to answer in place of insulated conduc tors. He gave to each of these cond uc tors a length of four hundred and two meters. This flnished it was plain that the cuirent must pass through the e conductors from positive to negative poles of the circuit, or vice versa. A rotating mirror was next brougi.t on the scene by this lightning tamer and placed behind the apparatus as above outlined. When the -urrent was turned on and passing through the apparatus, siiarks were visible from three different points, viz , between the ends of the conduct ors, between the rods running from the jar and also between the ends of the conductors themselves, where a sepa rate and distinct shower of sparks were to be seen. When the rotating mirror turned on its axis, the sparks appeared as three separate circular lines, parallel to each other; when it was left 6tat on ary the reflections showed only as points of light Speaking of this. Mr. Wheat stone says: "If electricity required no time to pass from one point to another, the lines in the moving mirror would apiar and disappear simultaneously; but being continuous, an app:eciable space of time must elapse for their movement. This time is plainly cal ul able, when the rate of rotation of the mirror and duration of the sparks is known. I have round that electricity travels through 42 meters of copjer wire in .KX', (K),SOS part of a second, and would, therefore, travel through 455,133 kilometen of copir wire in oue second.

There beeuii to lie sullicient rea-on for tlie belief that the heat at present emitted from tlie sun is ui ither greater nor im3 tli in that which our luiu nary ustd to Uis jiense aes zo. Where tho vine and the olive now nov. the vine ami tlie olive were growing twenty cniuiies back. We iuus". not, however, !.-.ce too strong a reliance on the deduction from such a fact. D.irwiu has taught us how by natural selection an organ ism cm iireserve its adaptaliou not witlibtandmg the gradual change of the surrounding conditions. The facts, however, fail to show any grounds for iinaKiuliig that there have been changes in the climate of the earth within historic tiuits. We huve geological evidence as to the character of the climates which lirevailed at a remote antiquity far earlier than any histoiical testimony. The records of the rocks show us un questionably that our j;lobe has pai-sci through many striking vicissitudes of heat and cold. Tliu.se records deuioi.-f-trate that there h.ive Leeu jei iod.- dur ing which some of tlm fairest regions of tlil.- globe were desolated by a fro so frihtiul tliat they became thickly cased with solid ic. There have also been periods when con litions of a pre cicely opposite character have pre vailed. Tlio.se polar legions w hich are now the perennial abode of imieue trable ice have once cujoved a succes sion of lon and delightful Summers, divided by Winters remarkable alike for their brevity and their mildness. Arctic solitude, now so di.-aiial aud so barren, then nourished plants and aui tnals that can only thrive under ge ial conditions of climate. o doubt the question as to the ori ent of these great climatic change winch have bo frequently occurred in the course of geological time piesents many ditlicuities. Opinion is divided as to what the cause of these changes may have been I do not now enter into this subject, because for our present purpose it sutlices to note ote very iui loitaiit conclusion. Those who are comi-etent to offer an iiimon on the question of the cause of the geological variatii ns of climate are iu substantial accord that the changes have not lieen due to any actual variations in the eu( ply f heat emitted from the mui. In other words, there is not the slightest reason to believe that the sun Itself has lieen either appreciably hotter or appreciably colder during geologi-al times thau it Is at the present mon.eul.

S:itntt.its say timt t hn duration of a lightning Hash is uot iirJuitesitual, but that the flash la Us a measurable time. For example. If one sets a camera i' rapid vibration and exposes iu it a plate so as to receive the impression of the Hash, it is found that the Impressions appear widened out on the negative, showing the negative to have moved during the time the flash was in ex istence. The old time theory that lightning never turns back in is tracks has been apparently disproved by photography. It is said that an examination of lnrht ning photography shows that a Ush not only turns back sometimes, but tangles itself into a kind of knot. ts now asserted by meteorologists that cyclones of great Intensity are ascending spiral whirls of wind havin a rotary motion in a direction in the northern hemisphere opposite to the movement ot the hands of a watch. liLikiUHUL'si.
