farm, garden and household. The Garden. Cassaba, Ward's Nectar, Prolific Nutmeg, and White Japan melons are all good ; sow in rich hills six feet apart, when the soil is warm. South of New York onions succeed best from sets ; plant early in very rich j soil iu drills fifteen inches apart When j they can be grown from seeds sow the same distance apart; the soil cannot be too fine and rich ; sow early. Wethersfield Red, Early" Red, and Yellow Danvers are standard sorts. For gardens potato and top onions are often used, set in drills fifteen inches apart, and j four inches apart in drilL Sow the Double or Moss Curled parsley early in open ground, or gentle hot-bed. Sow Hollow Crowned pirsnips as soon as the soil can be worked, in drills eighteen inches apart. Carter's First Crop, or some other round po?i, may be sown when the ground thaws. Alpha is the earliest of the wrinkled peas, but needs warmer weather. When Champion of England comes, no other pea is wanted. Little Gem, Premium Gem, and Blue Peter are good dwarf sorts, requiring no sticks, and useful to fill odd spaces. Squash peppers for pickling, and Sweet Mountain for stuffing, may be sown like egg plants. Put some early sorts of potatoes in a warm place to sprout, and plant for early as soon as frost is out Alpha and Snowflake are new and very early.

To Clean Black Cashmere.?Wash in hot suds, with a little borax in the water; rinse in bluing water?very blue ?and iron while damp. It will look equal to new. Biting the Nails.?A simple remedy for biting the nails is quassia. Wet the fingers and allow them to dry; if tasted it will bo a bitter reminder. I gave it a trial and it was effectual. Coooanut Cake.?Half a cup of butter, one cup of cold water, three of flour, four eggs, and a measure each of acid soda; grate one coooanut, saving put one-quarter of it dry to put upon the top layer; to the remainder add the whites of four eggs, beaten to a froth, and r>nA ?nn of nnlverized sncar: mifc the cake into four flat pans and as fast as each layer is baked, take ont and place one upon tlie other, spreading the oocoanut between.

An exchange gives as a reason why paint peels from buildings that nearly ' all the oil sold as pure linseed is largely made up of porgy oil. The nature of , this fish oil is entirely different from , that made from seed, and it does not dry nearly so readily. Paint a surface with lead and porgy oil, and in a few hours you cau press the hand lightly over it with impunity, but press the finger on it and push slightly, and you will find, even after it has been on several days, that the paint h:is not " set," but the outer akiu can lie easily removed, leaving that next the wood as soft nearly as when first put on. The wty to prevent the paint from peeling off is to let each coat?and particularly the first?remain from ten days to : several weeks before applying another coat. t'hlckea Jelly. Boil a pair of chickens nntil you can pull the meat from the bones; remove | all the meat and allow the bones to boil 1 half an hour longer; stand this in a cool ; place and it will become jellied; the j next day cut the meat into small pieces, melt the jelly and throw it in; then add two tablespoonfuls of Worcestershire sauce, two of walnut sauce, one tablo* spoonful of salt, a piuch of powdered mace, cloves, and allspice; slice ten hard boiled eggs and two lemons, line a large bowl, or form, with these slices, then pour in the mixture and let it stand . in a cool place (but not to freeze). The water should just cover the chickens when put to boiL This is a very ornamental dish, and will keep for a long while. The Nearest Shade. The Chicago Tribune has an exclusive i report of the case of a young woman in j that city who, having taken a course of chemistry, has been assisting her father in his drug store. The othej day they j sent in a prescription for some simple medi ine for a sick baby, and next day the baby's father went down town to buy a coffin. The chemist was requested to rise to a personal explanation. "Great j Jehoshaphat!" he said, looking at the j powder, "why, there's arsenic ir. this! j It ought to have been bicarbonate of j soda. Eliza, how is this ?" " Oh, pa 1" j replied his unmoved assistant, "we had no soda, and arsenic was the nearest shade that matched!"

To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenok, of Philadelphia, owes his nnriralea success in the treatment of pulmonary disease*. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the Inn ire; nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off; the patient nu rest and the lunge begin to heaL To enable the Polmonlo Syrup to do this, Schenck's Mandrake Pills and Schenck's Sea Weed Tonlo must be freely need to cleanse the stomach and liver. Schenck's Mandrake kills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkali of whtch it is composed mixes witn the food and prevents souring.

The value of the qgttrated new Patent Improved Eye Cufs for the resto&tlon of steht breaks oat and blazes in the evidences of over 6,000 genuine testimonials of cures, and recommended by more than 1,000 ?' our M physicians in their practioe. The Patent Eye Cupe are a scientific and physiological discovery, ana as Alex. R. Wteth, M. D.f j?nd Wm. Beat let, M. D.. write, they are certaiuly the greatest invention of the age. I Read the following certificates: Febqubob 8tation. Logan Co.. Ky.,) June 6th, 1873. / I Da. j. Ball k Co., OcuUsts: Gentle-men?Your Patent Eye Cupe are. in my I judgment, the most splendid triumph which optical .science has ever achieved, but, like all great and 1 important truths, in this or in any other branch of J science and philosophy, have much to contend with 1 from the Ignorance ana prejudice of a too skeptical public; but truth is mighty, and it will prevail, and il 13 only a question 01 ume as regaras ineir general acceptance and indorsement by all. I hare in my 1 hands certificates of persons testifying in unequiv- ' ocal terms to their merits. The most prominent physicians ef my county recommend your Eye Cope. I am, respectfully, J. A. L, BOYEB. William Beatley, M. D., Salvisa, Ky., writes: " Thanks to yon for the greatest of all inventions. My sight is fully restored by the use of your Patent Eye Cups, after being almost entirely blind for twenty-six years." Alex, B. Wyeth, M. D., Atchison, Pa., writes: "After total blindness of my left eye for four years, by paralysis to the optic nerve, to my utter astonishment your Patent Eye Cups restored my eyesight permanently in thres minutes." Bxv. 8. B, Falxujsbcbg, Minister of M. E. Church, writes; M Your Patent Eye Cups have restored my sight, for which I am most thankful to the Father of Modes. By your advertisement I saw at a glance that yonr Invaluable Eye Cups performed their work perfectly in accordance with physiological law; that they literally fed the eyes that were starving for nutrition. May God greatly bless yon, and may yonr name be enshrined in the affectionate memories of multiplied thousands as one of the benefactors of jour kind." fc Hobaoe B. Dubast, M. D., says: u I sold, and effected future sales liberally. The Patent Eye Caps, they will make money, and make it fast, too; no small, catch-penny affair, but a superb, number one, tip-top business, promises, aa far as I can see, to be life-long." Mayor E. C. Ellis wrote us, November 16th, 1869: " I have tested the Patent Ivory Eye Cups, and I am satisfied they are good. I am pleased with them. They are certainly the greatest invention of the age." Hon. Hobacb Gbzzlxt, late editor of the New York Tribune, wrote: "Dm. J. Ball, of our city, is a conscientious and responsible man, who is Incapable of intentional deception or imposition." Prof. W. Mebbick writes: " Truly, I am grate rui to your no Die uivcuubu. u?j ? by your Patent Eye Cnpe. May Heaven bless and preserve you. I have been ruing spectacles twenty years. I am seventy-one years old. I do all my writing without glasses, ana I bless the inventor of the Patent Eye Cups every time I take up my old ^teel pen." oDOhPH Biouraxmo, M. D., physician to Emperor NapdcCr, wrote, after having his sight restored by our Patent Eye Cups: " With gratitude to God, and thankfulness to the inventors, Dm. J. Bali, k Co., 1 hereby recommend the trial of the Eye Cups (in full faith) to all and every one that has any impaired eyesight, believing as I do, that since the experiment with this wonderful discovery has proved successful on me, at my advanoed period of lifeninety years of age?I believe they will restore the vision to any individual if they are properly applied.
