It is time to |)l?nt tomato-seeds in boxes of titie soil iu the house or in hotbeds. l)o this even when near enough to town to buy plants, because homemade plants can be made more hardy than those from the llorist. and they arc always at hand when the right time comes for setting them out. Time spent in ' going for plants is often more valuable in the busy spring that) the plants. I have found that frequent transplantings greatly improve the young plants. They * "should be removed from the box or bed '???U <<i ? mm, then Into larger and larger, until when set out they arc large, bushy plants, which, when knocked from the dry-pots, with nil the earth nround the roots, will not seem conscious of the transfer.

Ill growing peas it is well to remember that early kinds cannot be successfully grown out of season. They mature early and must be grown early in the j Reason. It (loos not follow that as they may be sown in March anil fruit in fifty slays, they may be sown in July and fruit in the same time. The fact is, they will grow more rapidly in one-third less time, but, as soon as they mature, ueu eoiisntUiionm weaisness rrnucrs thorn unable to withstand the heat, and they are attacked by mildew and perish. For late peas, late varieties must be sown. Early kinds may be sown at intervals of n week or two?as long ai they will remain in bearing up to June, but. not Inter with safety, and late kinds plnnted with them will carry the supply out a month later, which is the best tiint can bs done, This does not apply to corn, which is a tropical plant and requires beat, or to beans," which are equally 11 favored by licit; so that although the peas may give out by September, tlvro will hi- vegetables of other kinds sutlicicut for ulJ u.?eij.?yew York 1'imcs.

Pure milk is nourishing to those in health and to the ?ick. Foul or impure milk is poisonous to the blood and unfit to be taken into the system. If milk, after standing a few hours, looks dark and cloudy at the bottom of the vessel there is something wrong, and the matter should be inquired into at once. Extra carc is needed to keep the milk clean where cows are kept in stables. The animals should be carefully brushed, and every particle of dirt wiped or washed from the udder, and the stables cleaned before milking is begun, as the fresh milk absorbs foul odors readily. With farmers there is no excuse for using uncleau mil*. Those in cities who procure supplies from milkmen may be obliired to endure what they can uot chaugeT City authorities, however, should take the necessary precautions tc have the people served with pure milk. It is quite as important as that they b< served with clean meat. Milk which is kept where it cau be reached by currenti of impure air will absorb the impuritiei with which the air is loaded. Sinolk from the kitchen may be tasted in the milk kept in cupboards opening into th< kitchen, where vegetables are being cooked daily. Tho cleanliness and purity of milk also depends on the food and water giver to cows. If the water is found in stagnant pools or mud-holes look out foi fevers, headaches, und other forms ol malarial disorders. Clean food, clean water, clean udders, clean stables, ant clean pails and pans?then we have clenr milk, and if kept in a clean place it wil continue clean and pure, and alwavt prove itself wholesome, nourishing food. ?

I ALCOHOLIC LUNACY INCREASING IN FRANCE. Recent investigations conducted by M. Raul Gamier and embodied in a report to a convention of French doctors gives startling facts as to the increase of insanity in that r country, and especially as to the increase of r that form of insanity due to theexcessive use of alcoholic drinks. From 1871 to 1888 iu1 sanity incre ised in France by thirty per I cent. Fifty-six per cent, of the insane are , uien and forty-four per cent, are women. The increase during toe last seventeen years has been almost entirely m the branches of i alcoholic insanity and of general paralysis, or paresis. There has l>een very little increase in mania, melancholia, and chronic delirium. Alcohol and overwork are therefore he'.d responsible for the greater part of the increase of insanity during recent years. The frequency of alcoholic insanity has doubled in p. . ?r Ti ir? and tUa isui have increased twenty-five per cent, in the last throe years. F Fifteen years ago the proportion of women among the cases of alcoholic insanity was one-sixth. Now it is one-ilfth. A singular fact noted is that the number of new cases of insanity is greatest in the spring, and that this is especially- true of general paresis, of which t.ht? month nf Mf?v ?,?. a ? ? ovvum w tuau^ui a ic annually nn epidemic. A UNIQUE BROTHERHOOD. Among the many club organizations in this ! city is one called "The Liberal Brotherhood," J ] an organisation Of barkeepers, "for elevat- I ing the character of the men engaged in the ! i business," and to improve their condition ! "morally, socially and materially." The fifth | ! annual ball of this Barkeepers' "Brother- j ' hood" was given at the Metropolitan Opera ' t House 011 the lTtb uit. They admit to member- I r ship "any white man, who is a practical bar- ' j keeper,over the age of twenty-one years, re- j . gardless of nationality, politics, or religion ' (?)." They have eltlb-rooms, and in the way I * of "social recreation' for the members, e "the fourth Sunday evening of each month, from September till May, is set apart as I ladies' night, when the club-rooms are I thrown open to the wives and lady friends of 1 ' members." A collation is served, and mem- C b?r? of the leading theatrical troupoa give fi their servic^ flyijfrfla? fff^ E ibershin in case of hictwucss or distress? qll1 n j a a ^ such sicknesss or distress was not caused by * immoral conduct or intemperance."

Wonderful Fountain. > to - - The artesian well at Charleville, on th Warrego River, Quef^sUmdv** the new est and most reniarkftbrelnslKnee of th ; natural resources of marvelous Australia ! The well is situated quite near the rail Jt,*" way station, but in one of the most uii ' likely places that couhl have been im ian Who on earth would liuv ITC- exPcc'cd that this artesian well, which i: his ^lu 'n wor'd? or Mt H" t,vi>n' lest >ields "lc hirgest amount of water, wu Bunk upon top of a sandy hummock? Ycl 'to bo it la. jn Crossing the swampy flat lending t< ^ j this hummock, nttcntion is drawn to i on- ' w'dt* channcl out through the drift sand and it is explained that the outflow o wnter had done this ere the apparatus foi lj10 controlling it had l>een obtained. Tin ^ bore itself looked a harmless enough kiin > ,'j of thing. It might have been taken foi i d n rather high atandpipc placed in at idiotic position in the bottom of a hob ^js sixty or seventy yards long, thirty broad, and ten feet deep. But a moment's ob i a 8crv?tioti showed that the harmless look lit ing standpipe had made the hole. As ? matter of fact, the water when it wa? gytomh mihmhntn mhu'iihuiiih the mw pM in a few minutes, and cleaned out the foundations of the derrick and threatened ; to wreck the whole contrivance. If they nj< | had not got a plug in it pretty soon, it he. ! wou'd have washed Charicvillc into the llc : Warrego. On top of the pipe there lias nh ^ keen ? right-angle band, so that tlie ' ' j water can be turned in any direction. j,u I Subsequently a nozzle, one inch in dims ?toctcr, was attached to the pipe, and otj when the water was turned on it ascended , . in an even jet to a height of nearly one hundred feet, returning to earth in a jjj heavy shower or dissipating in mist clouds through which the rainbows to played with an effect that was as beauti: ful as it was wonderful. It seemed that j the visitors would never tire looking at I it. They simply Mood and gazed, hardly saying a word," for, in the presence of this marvelous phenomenon, speech ,c seemed poor and commonplace, and the (j mind simply gave itself up to childlike wonderment. ?
