Do this even when near enough to town to buy plants, because homemade plants cau be made more hardy than those from the florist, 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.

The ground was made rich, nnd the vines bore an abundance of goodsized, firm, well-flavored Mikado tomatoes.?Jfeio York Tribune. ^ 80win0 peas in season. In growing peas it is well to remember that parly kinds cannot be successfully grown out of season. They mature early nnd must be grown early in the season. It docs not follow that as they may be sown iu March and fruit iu fifty days, they may be sown in July nnd fruit iu the same time. The fact is, they will grow more rapidly in one-third them unable to withstand the heat, and they are attacked by mildew nnd perish. For late peas, late varieties must be sown. Early kinds may be sown at intervals of a week or two?as long as they will remain in bearing up to June, but not later with safety, and late kinds planted with them will carry the supply out a month later, which is the best that can he done, This;;does not apply to com, which is a "tropical plant and requires heat, or to 'beans," which are equally fayored by heat; so that although the peas may give out by September, there 1 I Kn * ? 1.1 _< ..? ..... . ugtuiuiua 01 oiuer Kinds sufficient for aJJ uieij.-?JYcmj York Times. i"- > (OKN MOT FODDItlt;' - ' c- VtJ- rfon't want corn fodder gfoetkr dry nor cnSlla^ed," says Professor .Obaarbcij. lain, ...'-The uctil ixutj and cheapest.

Pure milk s nourishing to those in health and to the tick. Foul or impure milk is poisouous o the blood aud unfit to be taken into ho system. If milk, after standing a 'ew hours, looks dark and cloudy at the >ottom of the vessel there is something wroug, and the matter should be inquired into at onco. Extra care is needed to keep the milk clean where cows are kept in stables. Toe animals should be carefully brushed, and every particle of dirt wiped or washed from the udder, and the statiles cleaned before milking is begun, as the fresh milk absorbs foul odors readily. With farmers there is no excuse for using unclean milk. Those in cities who procure supplies from milkmen may be obliged to endure what they can not chauge. City authorities, however, should take the necessary precautions to have the people served with pure milk. It is quite as important as that they be served with clean meat. Milk which is kept where it can be reached by currents of impure nir will absorb the impurities with which the air is loaded. Smells from the kitchen may be tasted in the milk kept in cupboards openiug into the kitchen, where vegetables are being cooked daily. The cleanliness and purity of milk nlso depends on the food and water given to cows. If the water is found in stagnant pools or mud-holes look out for fevers, headaches, and other forms of malarial disorders. Clean foo<l, clean water, clean udders, clean stables, and clean pails and pans?then we have clean milk, and if kept in a clean place it will continue cleau and pure, and always prove itself wholesome, nourishing food. ?

Paul Gamier and eml>odied in a report to a convention of French doctors gives startling facts as to the increase of insanity in that country, and esi>ccially as to the increase of that form of insanity due to the excessive use of alcoholic drinks. Srom 1871 to 1888 insanity increased in France by thirty per cent. Fifty-six per cent, of the insane are men and forty-four per cent, are women. The increase during tne last seventeen years has been almost entirely in the branches of alcoholic insanity and or general paralysis, or paresis. There lias been 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 _ u jut asp years, and tlw? run have increased h per canL in the last three years, r uoeen 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 the month of May seems to Inaugurate annually an epidemic. A UNIQUE BROTHERHOOD. Among the manyclub organisations in this city is one called ''The Liberal Brotherhood," an organization of barkeepers, "for elevating the character of the men engaged in the business," and to improve their condition "morally, socially and materially." The fifth annual ball of this Barkeepers' "Brotherhood" was given at the Metropolitan Opera House on the 17th ult. They admit to membership "any white man, who is a practical barkeeper,over the age of twenty-one years, regardless of nationality, politics, or religion (?)." They have oltlb-rooms, and In the way of "social recreation1' for the mombers, ' 'the fourth Sunday evening of each month, from September till May, is set apart as ladies' night, when the club-rooms are thrown open to the wives and ladv friends of members." A collation is served, and member* ot the leading theatrical troupes give in case of sickness or distri* '^iruiiilal such slcknesss or distress was not caused by immoral conduct or int*?peran?e." This 'Barkeepers' "Brotherhood" it unique among , the cluo associations of the metropolis. But . their business Is against their moral and social elevation while they continue in it.-?

Scientific Instruction in Schools and Colleges of the World's Woman's Christian Temperance Union, gave an address yesterday afternoon in the hall of the Young Women's Christian Association, 7 aEast Fifteenth street. Mrs. Dr. Buchanan presided and introduced Mrs. Hunt, who spoke of the need of pushing temperance education in the public schools. She said that the subject of temperance should be made a portion of the curriculum to be taught regularly. That would enable tho teacher to get at the young man before the cigarette habit was formed, and preempt him for sobriety. The aim should be to show by the uso of graded text books, in a course of study in phys: ilogy and hy- | giene, with special reference fc the nature of alcoholic drinks and other narootice, their nm lli? human Varit.' * WOJIKN AXD THE WINE CUP. At a musicale a few days ago I happened to notice that in a roomful ladies to whom I light wines wore offered there was not one J who refused. At a crowded evening reeep| tion it was the men who lingered about the I ! punch-bow) after supper, nut this might J easily have been because they were so busy i serving the ladies in the earlier stages of the 1 proceedings. In the confectionery establishment patronized by the ultra-fashionable, where a woman can order anything from a mint julep to a sherry cobbler, it excites no surprise to sec a lady weary with shopping take clear lirandy or whisky straight as another woman would take beef tea. It would excite much surprise to see any woman show the slightest evidenec of intoxication.?New York Letter. BROKEN I'P BY STRONG DRINK. The Rev.
