Beauty has. gone from the deserted garden and only in window garden and conservatory can we find the flowera we love. Let ns be thank ful for the vari ty and brilliance of tbe plants useful for winter culture, and content ourselves witti what the pres ent gives us. lhe Queen of the Autumn is the brave and bright chrysanthemum, which we mav have with little trouble from now until Christmas. Their colors are so bright, yellow and j ink, royal purple and purest white, and if freely picked blosfcoia nil the more. Freesiascannot be too highly praised and their Bowers are so dainty and of such an exquisite scent that nothing can be more attractive. They may be started in succession so as to have them in bloom nearly all winter. This is also true of many other bulbs, one only needs to study the floritt direc tions to learn how to manage them. We shonld not let eur losses count too much, lecause from our failures we often learn valuable lessons, even the best of florists has innumerable fail ures, with every advantage of place and training. So wh-n our roses wither and droop and will not be made to thrive, let ue turn to bulbs and from them to potted plants, never discouraged, and enjoy ing to the full such as we have. One Jay a spicy carnation, to-morrow a waxen hyacinth, or a box of cheerful j. angles. Do not say: "I never can have sue .en with house-plants, 1 have not the kuai k.

One should not deluge a cactus with water and leave tue t'alia lily to dry up and within away, nor keep primroses in a warm room while uu-!oving flowers are left to droop in the north window. FHEK91A.S AND KOMAN HYACINTHS. A writer in Sm-cess with Flowera gives direct ons for growing these bulbs which our readers will 11 u J valu able and interesting: "The Roman Hyacinth dot s not even require soil, for it can be successfully and easily broucht into bloom in water, or in moss kept constantly wet. The water should, however, be filled only to the bore ot the bulb from whence the roots start, and never allowed to dry away from it, that the roots may be kept continually wet. Home char coal in the water or under the moss, will help to keep the water sweet, rud when changing, soft or boiled water is preferable to hard, and shonld be of about the same temperature as that taken out Botn the Freesia and Roman Hya cinth when grown in rich loam, made light by sharp sand, require to be kept in some cool dark place for some sis weeks, when the roots should have sufficiently formed for them to be brought to the light. About eight bulba of the Freesia to a five-inch pot, and three bulbs of the Roman Hya olntb to the same size pot, should be planted, and after a thorough watering covered several inches thick with some kind of loose mulch, which will serve to keep the earth moist for a long time. 0k mm somas iitaci-th. The pots can be placed in a cold frame, or buried, not merely plunged, in the earth, where there is no danger ot juice, who are very fond of the bulbs, Uulbs planted about the first of Octo ber can be brought forward about the middle of Noveml6r, and when given plenty of light with judicious forcing can be had in bloom by Christmas. An essential to both these bulbs is that they be kept cool; if they can be kept at a temperature oi about oo - the best results will be obtained. The foliage of the Freesia is narrower and more grass-like than the Hyacinth, bat the perfume is far superior in Qual ity and delicacy to that or any other (Spring bnlb. Six to eight trumpet shaped flowers grow in a row on the tern, which is bent at right angles just where the row begins. This mode oi growth makes the blossoms peculiarly adapted for wear, either in the hair or dress, for which their dainty beauty, fragranoe and lasting powers make them worthy ornament." 8PBAYIHO PIAKT3. A correspondent of Success with lowers, gives some practical hinisae tc her methods of spraying plants which Bay be of use to our readers: In the absence of a sprinkler I ue t whisk-broom, and find it answers every purpose.

Whether it is advisable to do our most thorough honsecleaning in the Spring or Autumn of the the year, is question that deserves more careful consideration than it receive from the majority of housekeepers. So one questions the troth of the old proverb, "In the multitude of counselors there is safety 'and it would certainly seem that a custom which has been sanctioned by the majority of housekeepers for so many years must be the best possible solution of a diffi culty. I do not know when or where the custom of an annual or semi-annual louse renovation originated; certain it is that no other people carried it to such extreme lengths or transmitted it with such force to their descendants as did our ew England fore-mothers. To improve upon their methods of accomplishing tue work, not by a more systematic, but a more elastio routine and the aid of labor-saving uten sils and materials, is easy. But is that enough? The needs and demand of to-day are eery different from those of a century or even of fifty years ago. A properly cared for modern range, base-btroiug parlor stove or furnace makes very lit tle dust compared to an open wood fire, direct draft stove or old fashioned fur nace. All our carpets are fast being Superseded by polished floors and rugs, jor carpets which extend only to within a few inches of the base-board and leave no hiding place for dnnt. Every year shows a marked increase in the Iinmber of houses that are closed for a shorter or longer period during sum- rner while their inmates take a vaoa- (ion, and even the stay-at-homes are earning that rest and recuperation lor over-taxed muscles and jaded nerves pomes frcm living out of doors all that t is possible to do. And yet despite everything that tends to faciliate t he work of houseclean ing or to lessen the amount required to render our home healthful and at tractive, there is much that must be Bone. The question is: when is it most essential and when will we secure the reaU'st benefit from our labors? With the cellars, especially those of country houses when vegetables are stored daring the winter, there is no question but what they should receive a thorough spring renovation, ana that much earlier in the season than it is customary to do so. Bat surely unless there has been sickness in the family, there is no such valid reason for clean ing the remainder of the houso, and many reasons why it is an unsatisfac tory operation. There is the out-of-doors duet which the most tireless housekeeper cannot control, and nasty flies which somehow manage to initi ate themselves into our rooms despite the best adjusted screen windows and doors, and in order to maintain a nice degree of cleanliness one must shut oat the cheerful, life-giving sun and live in close, stuffy rooms, (nnloss wise enough to live out of doors). But with the cool, short days of iutninn all this is changed. The housewife 'who has had a restful vacation during the summer, and even she who has had little or no rest, are in better physical condition to endure the strain which honsecleaning necessi tates even under favorable conditions, than in the enervating weather of Snrinir. Where the renovatincr is com. pieted there in but a modicum of dost and no Hies and we can open the shut ters and welcome the sunshine and be rewarded by the thought that our loved ones will note and appreciate the in creased attractiveness, beauty and com fort wnicn our enorts have secured. I am neither yonng nor conceited enough to expect that my opinions will reform and established custom. But if I could induce half a dozen progres sive housekeepers to make the experi ment in earnest l am sure they would be so thoroughly convinced oi its ad vantages that would be started which shall one day permeate the entire mass. "THE POOB YE HAVE AT. WATS WITH TOO." Cotton and linen summer clothing except fine gowns should have the starch washed out of it and be stored away for winter rough dry. But previous to attending to this, ome day when you are in an unselfish, generous, Christ-like mood, collect all such gar ments together, and those your chil dren w:ll have outgrown by another Eeaaon, or that yon have no time to re pair and it is false economy to hire done, lay atide as a gift to some less fortunate mother whose ohilJrea have little change of clothing with the dif ferent seasons. Do not question their fitness for winters wear, or not being ac cepted. There really is no hardship in children who are in doors wearing cotton gowns all winter, providing, they have warm wollen undergarments and very likely there are several small and half worn garments among your supply of these that you will scarcely miss out wnicn wm cneer some strug gling mother's heart and strengthen her wavering faith in the love and sister bood of woman. if you are one of those industrious. ingenious women with a mama for making rugs do, I beg of you, get out the discarded woolen garments you nave stored way lor this purpose and as yon look them over remember that "you can pass this way but once. tbat handsome rugs can be cheaply bought or yon can learn to do without them and let your better, higher nature triumph. If the upholstering of an easy chair ias become too dilapidated for further ase and yon have replaced it with a modern one, or the deep blue or red sover of another Las become positively ancndarable among your dull colored, harmonious furnishings, do not store them away in the attio unless the Frames are especially fine but let some poor working woman know the laxury it an easy chair when she sits down at light for perhaps the first time daring he day. A great deal is said regarding tho sxtravagance of American women, but there is many a one in far greater danger of turning the virtue of econo my into the vice of parsimony. If tho unused contents of all tho store-rooms ind attics in the housos of well-to-do, prosperous peopla could bo collected into a common ?tor and widely ap portioned out, an hica?ntie amount bf suffering would be relieved, and bnppinis and comfort oopferrod.

IXAVORINOS. Very much of the success of culinary labor depends on the skill with which flavorings are nsed. An excess oi spice in mince pies or puddings or cases spoils them as certainly as a deficiency makes them flat and insipid. Goos served with onion in the stuffing and goose served without it are entirely distinct dishes. A bnnoh of sweel herbs boiled in soup not only improves its flavor, but increases its assimilative properties. Comparatively little at tention has been given in this country to the art of flavoring, and Frenoh cooks, very largely indebted to their knowledge of this art for their popu larity, are preferred in hotels and pri vate families that can afford them to oooks born and bred here. A French cook can take a sweet-bread, a kidney, a bit of tough meat, and with a sprig of parsley, a bay leaf, a little thyme, and sweet basil, make a dish perfectly delicious at trinincr oost: bat American cooks must have steaks at 25 and 30 cents a pound, roasts of high price, the choicest parts of mutton and lamb, or they cant ot be expected to get np a good dinner; and with salt and pepier in plenty, they make little use of oihei flavorings. What suices are to cakes, pnddingt, and pies, sweet herbs are to meats and savory dishes. Every housekeeper in the country shcnld have her little plot in the garden of sage, summer savory, sweet marjoram, sweet basil, thyme, and parsley, and practice the art ol blending flavors harmoniously. They are to food what fragrance is to flowers. Accustomed to these innocent flavor ings, those whom she feeds will not re quire or enjoy the fiery condiment that are so common on many tables, and that, though they would raise a blister if applied externally, we put without hesitation on the delicate tie sues lining the stomach. 1i.i!isen. General directions foi making plmsen, whioh greatly resem ble our pan-cakea, and are popular in German house holds: Make a batter ot four tablespoon! ula of floor, four eggs, a tu'ile spoonful of butter, a little salt, a tablespconfal of sugar, and half a pint of cream, or enough milk made lukewarm to make a thin batter. Beat the eggs very well, cream the batter, and stir the batter nntil light and smooth. Have ready a small frying pan; heat and grease it, then drop in a spoonful of the batter, or just enough to cover the surface very thinly. Let the cakes brown, but do not turn them. Place each one, as it leaves the fire, on a dish placed where it can keep warm. Strew each cake with sugar and cinna mon; pile them one upon tho other, strewing the sugar very thickly over the U p one, and glaze it with a sala mander or other red-hot iron. Plisbkk with Fruit. To the above batter add two ounces of currants, well washed in hot water, and a little grated lemon-rind. Use very little batter or lard in frying the plinsen. Instead of serving these in a cake-like pile, npread a layer of preserved or stewed fru't over each one, roll it up, and lay one after the other, in rolls, beside one another in the same dish, and serve af ter you have dusted the whole well over with sugar and cinnamon. Soma sort of sweet sauce is also frequently served with plinsen. Applb Fltssbx. Peel and core a half-dozen fine cooking apples, slice them and pat them in a stew pan with a small table spoonful of batter, and let them become tender in their own steam; add sugar to the taste with some little flavoring of lemon or spice: also a few raisins and currants if you please. Having previously prepared some bat ter, as for the plain plinsen, fry one of tne size ot a breakfast plate, lay it on a dessert dieh when done, spread over it a layer of apples, coyer with another pan-cake, etc., until all the apples. and batter have been consumed. Then strew the top thickly with powdered sugar, and serve up hot. Cream and sncar is a suitable sauce to serve witb this dish. The Queen Is Tired.

A STRANGE THINQ. There was one word the little girl heard many times a day and oould not Imagine what it was. The word was Museentouchit. Baby wondered who Mussentonchit oould be. The strange thing lived in the bureau drawers; it lived in the sewing machine; it lived in the UU jar that stood on the little round table; it certainly lived in the glass globe where the gold fishes swam. This went on till baby was two years Id. MoAsentoacbit was everywhere in the shining books on the parlor table; in the flower beds; among the roses; even in mama's work basket the strange thing lived; and if baby took up a reel of silk or cotton, there was Mussentonchit. One day baby found hersell by the glass globe all alone. The family were very bnsy, ana for a lew minutes lor got the little, prying, restless darling. This was hr chance. L p went the chubby legs into the chair that stood near the gold-fish globe. Poised on the rounding cushion, bany reached far over to touch the gold-fish. In reaohing. she lott her balance and fell, drugging the globe to the floor. There was a orash, a scream, a rush, and mamma was on the spot. Baby was pioked up, kissed and n?olded.

Here are a few good old rules that cau be very safely followed : Give a child a seat that shall be 6trictly its own. Teach it to take its Beat quietly. To use its napkin properly. To wait patiently to be served. To answer promptly. To say thank you. If asked to leave the table for a forgotten article or for any purpose tr do so at once. Never to interrupt and never to con tradict. Never to make remarks about the food, such as "I saw that turkey killed, and how he did bleed," as I once heard a little boy remark at a Thank-giving dinner. Teach the child to keep his plate in order. Not to handle br&d or to drop it 011 the cloth and floor. To always say, "Excuse me, plea.se," to tbe mother when at home, and to the lady or hostess when visiting, if leaving the table before the rest of the party. To fold its napkin and to put back its chair or push it clone to the tublr before leaving. And after leaving the table not to return. I know children who observe every one of these rules, and are in no way priggish, but are simply well-behaved, delightful companions, and they owe it all to their mother's careful training from babyhood.
