The tops should be kept pinched back, when they show a disposition ic run up and bloom, and this will make the plants busby and vigorous, and in. sure an abundanee of buds in the win. ter. Early in autumn remove to the conservatory or house, bedding the plants on the bench or in pots, in earth about six or eight inches deep, which should be composed of good garden soil and well-rotted manure from the cow stable. It inclined to be stiff, usp a little sharp sand. The eoll should be thoroughly mixed, and the drainage good, for the carnation is more liable to suffer from too much water than too little. Keep a sharp lookout for the wire worm, which is one of the woral enemies carnation growers have tc contend with. Light and heat are essential, and the thermometer should indicate at least 60 degrees during the day, and not less than 45 degrees al night.

St. Louis, Mo," Glass or Celluloid Types.-The useful ness of toughened glass, bids fair to be greater than was first supposed. Some experiments are reported to have been made in France with a view to showing whether this substance can be pressed into the printer's service and substitu ted for the metal composition of which types are made. The latter does not at first sight strike the observer as the best that couli be found. It is bright enough when the letters first come frota the foundry, and before they have seen any service; but a few days' wear gives the type a very dingy appearance, and before they are Snrily returned t) the melting pot they have degenerated into a very squalid form, looking dirty in their body as well as battered in their faces. The idea is now to discard these 8 long-proved but nnattractive servaTits and fill their places with glittering types of glass. The advantages in point of cleanliness alone would,it Is alleged, be not insignificant. The toughened glass, which Is not to be nade in quite the same way as that used for tumblers and wine-glasses, and need not, of course, be quite so transparent, is natu rally much harder than the old metal, r and can hardly be crushed out of shape by those little accidents which so short en the life and spoil the beauty of the only type we now employ. It is also capable of being cast into more delicate shapes, so that the difference, for in h stance, between the thin and the thick strokes can be more clearly defined. It is now found that the new material can 0 be cast in exactly the same molds as the old, and that, therefore, there need be no expense incurred in altering the I manufacture of type. We learn from - a reliable source that great success at tended recent experiments made with celluloid in the manufacture of type.
