from sandy or gravelly land. It may be ,
there are different varieties, or the differ- j
cnco may be due to the soil. After the ,

V " THi: STAltT KOH TOMATOES. .
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.
An experiment last summer of setting
tomato plants at I lie liases of sunflowers,
up which they were trained, proved very
successful. The ground was made rich,
nnd the vines bore an abundance of goodsized,
firm, well flavored Mikado tomatoes.?Jfcto

^ BOW I NO PEAK IN SEASON.
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

whether rich or poor, refined or

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.

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

city is one called "The Liberal Brotherhood," J ]
an organisation Of barkeepers, "for elevat- 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

! 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:

Bunk upon top of a sandy hummock? Ycl

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. ? [Quceuslanucr. ~
