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. Early
Vermont and Early Rose a little later,
and good. '
Radishes may be sown very early in
open ground or may be forced in a
frame. French Breakfast Early Turnip,
and Olive-shaped are good short
varieties; the Long Scarlet for long.
Salsify and scorzonera, there is but
one variety of each, sow the same as
parsnips.
Uncover spinach that wintered over
when heavy frosts are passing, and hoe
between the rows. Sow seed of Koundleaved
early ; New Zealand, for midsummer,
may be sown in May.
Summer Crookneck squashes are the
best bush. Boston Marrow, Yokohama,
Hubbard, and Butman, are favorite late
sorts. A few for early may be started
under glass in pots or on sods.
Sow tomatoes, in hot-bed and transplant
to boxes or another hot-bed, or
where there are but a few, to small pots;
the object is to get a st ong stocky
plant, to set out as soon as it is safe.
Conqueror and Canada Vi itor for early,
and Trophy for the rest" of the season,
have not been exoelled.
White Datch, or Red Top Strap-leaf
turnips for early, and Long White
French, is the best late. Get in the
early sorts as soon as the ground is
ready.?Agriculturist. 4
Domestic Hint*.
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.
Apple Tapioca Pudding.?One teacap
tapioca, salt, one and a half pints of i
water, let them soak two hours; six ap- j
pies?pare and take out the cores; put :
them in a pudding dish, add one teacup
of water and bake on the outside of the
stove until the apples are tender, then ,
All the holes with sugar, in which grate >

tapioca and bake in the oven one hou#. j

thing About Paint.
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!"
Peculiarities.?"Every man," said j
Mark Lemon, one evening, at his club, j
" has his peculiarities, though I think I j
am as free from them as most men; at !
any rate, I don't know what they are." |
Nobody contradicted the editor of j
Punch, but after a while Albert Smith '
asked: "Which hand do yon shave
with, uncle ?" " With my right hand,"
replied Lemon. "Ah," returned the
other, "that's vour peculiarity; most
people shave with a rasor."

. men, whoso ages ranged from sixty-eight to
105 years, was a mass of flames. Two or

ject. I can't bear even to think of it.
: I am going to spend a few days with
j my friends to recuperate. It's too late
to flee the country now. % Nobody can
gain by my absence now."
What he Wants,
Mr. Burroughs, of South Africa, hav-1
I ing no dog to love, bought an ostrich,
; and now lie advertises as follows : " ?10
reward. Lost, a tame ostrich. Said
ostrich was missing yesterday, directly
i after having devoured certain pieces of
machinery, which one of the ladies of
the advertiser's household had apart
and was cleaning on the front veranda
at the time. He is supposed to have
whndcred off in a fit of melancholy di1
rectly after committing the deed. The ;
above reward will be paid for the return i
i of the pieces, as they are invaluable on i
j account of the long time required to replace
them from the manufactory in the
j United States. The parts wantiog are a i
; face plate, needle-bar and shuttle of a !
; sewing machine. I am not particular i
j about the ostrich."
Where Does it All Come From.
Pints and quarts of filthy catarrhal dis- j
charges. Where does it all come from ? The |
mnoous membrano which lines the chambers
cf ?he nose. and it* little gland?, a^e diseased, |
| so that they draw from the blcod it* liquid, !
a::d exposure to the air changes it into cor-1
i inption. This life liquid is needed to bu id up i
the system, but it is extracted, and the system j
! is weakened by the loss. To cure, gain flesh j
and strength "by rising Dr. Pierce's Golden
j Medical Discovery, which also acts directly j
! upon these giauds, correcting them and apply !
Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, with Dr. Pierce's ;
i Nasal Douche, the only method of reaching '
j the upper cavities, where the discharge ao- j
cumulates and comes from. The Instrument ;

j dealer* in mediclott. *
His Style.
A New York bootblack wag soliciting
custom on the Bowery in his lmre feet,
and a pedestrian gave him a job for the
sake of askiDg:
4 Bob, where are yonr boots ?" "Gone
up," was the reply.
" And yon have to go barefooted?"
" Well, its either go barefooted or put
on an old pair of dad's, and my style is
before you."
" Gracious! I should think you'd
freeze."
" Freeze ! Aw, g'locg! Cats go barefooted
all winter, and when I can't stand
as much as a cat I'm going to eat rat
pizen and die 1"
Chapped hands, face, pimples, ringworme^B<rheum,

Dr. SCHENCK'S STANDARD REMEDIES
The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are
Sc henex's Pulmonic Sybuf, Schenck's Sea Weed
Tonic, and Schenck's Mandrake Pills, and, If taken
before the longs are destroyed, a speedy core is effected.
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. It assists the digestion
by toning up the stomach to a healthy oondition, so
that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good
blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely
get well if care is taken to prevent fresh cold.
All wno wish to oonault Dr. bchenck, either personally
or by letter, can do so at his priaclpal office, corner of
Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday.

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. ADOLPH BIOBNBEBG. M. D."
