AGRICULTURE. luMis ADojNMENTs.-A very prettL stand and vase for, the lawn can bt made in the following way: Take t board for the base eighteen incie wide and two feet long; put legs sawc from boards under each corner; thei take a stick three iches square ant three feet long, or, what Is better, i limb of a tree that has small branche. or knotE on It; fasten this to the centr( of your board; brace it front the centi r of each side of your base; on the tol place an emnpty fish kit. Trim tht edges of.the base and outside of the 11sli kit with grape vine and small knots; give the whole a coat of varnish. Be fore the varnish becomes quite dry givc it a sprikling of ft osting such as piin ters use onl signs, which will make it glisten like diamonds. On the basc will be room for four large pots tc stand. Fill the vase with drooping vines, a geranium in the center, and you will lind it a very handsome and cheap ornainent. Another method. The materials are such as are to b( found tround almost every house, sc the cost need be nothing but the labor. The stand Is made of boxes of common boards, such is soap - boxes to be found at mllost country stores. A peach basket makes the vase. For such a bas ket the first base should be a square box, the sides of which measure about a foot, with a depth of three or four in ches. On this place the second base, a box with seven and a hlta lnch sides, and two and a half-inches deep. Now, above those set up a square column made out of a box about six inches high, with sides of, say, four or four and a ialf laches, and the stand Is ready for the basket. Holes must be bored through the bottom of the basket, as well as through the boxes, to secure proiper drainage. When all ire proper ly fastened together, paint them any color to suit the taste, and you will then have a pretty imitation of an ex pensive iron vase. The basket must be lined with moss to prevent the earth getting out. Now, for the plants. A canna which you can raise from seed (only you must Ilrat soak them twenty four hours in warm water to hasten germination) will make a pretty center pi)ece, and itiound this you canl plant petunias which fi om their drooping habit will run over the sides. Then there is sweet alyssumt, with its pretty snow-white fragrant Ilowers, and sasn vltalla, with its little yellow ones. Maurandia, too, as a drooping vine, comes in here with excellent results. All these are anials, cheap, aald easily grown. A pretty aquarium call be made in this woy : Take an old tub, or, better, washing-machine, oblong lit shape; balnk to within an Inch of the top with rich eart,i and stones. Plant, in the earth vines-miontey vitne, cats paw, ferns and wild plants. Make inl arch of wire or grapevine. Planit, the ville seeds or Madeira tubers to cover the arch ; place a small hanging basket it top of the arch, tilled with cinquefoll. Arrange In bottom bright colored stones antd shells if yosu have them. With one or two water-plants antd ialf a dozen minnows you iavo "sa thing of beauty and a joy"t all summer. A pretty method of making rust.ic chlins to hang frot porches, verandas or galr den airches, to support the delicate t-rceps an(I vinses, is much iII vogue InI Belgium. Thoy are made by taking braiches of trees of fromli one or two i1ches In diameter and sawing them iito lengths of froni three to six in cites; then cutting willow rods of about half in inichl in diameter to about the samte lentgth ; splittinsg them sandt benid lng onse-hsalf of one so ats to t'orms ai semsi-cirele asrountd the endu of' otte of' the ton ger' sticks anti fastensinig It securely by brad nsails.

Now, a1s every one knows, It Is the property of phosphorous to shine in the dark ; aind as fish in a cortain stage of putrefac tive decay often emit light, or become phosphorescent, it Ias been thought that this is due to the abundance of phosphorous their flesh contains, and hence that they are eminently suitable for the nourishment of the nervous system, and are invaluable brain-food. Under that idea many people resort to a (iet of fish, and persuade themselves that they derive advantage from It In an increased vividness of thought; a signal improvement iII the reaosonii)g powers. But the flesh of fish contains no excess of phosphorous, nor does its shiling depiend Onl that element. De caying villow wood shines even more brilliantly than decaying fish ; It may sometimes be discerned afar ofr at night. The shining in the two cases is due, to the same cause-the oxidation of ear bol, not of phosphorous, In organic substances containing, perlaps, not a perceptible trace of the latter element. Y et surely no one found himself rising to a poetical fervor by tasting decaying willow wood, though it ought, on these principles, to be a better brain food than at much larger quantity of fish. The -Artotype.-The manner in which tile Artoty)e is produced may be brief ly described as follows : The impression of the ierson or object Is fIrst taken on the negative, the same as an ordinary I)hotograph); then the negative Is put with a plate of prepared glass aind sub Jected to the action of the sunlight. A coating of glatine Ip first put on tie glass, anid that rendered sensitive to light; after having passed through a hardening process causes the film to adhere to the glass, so that an unlim itedl number of prints can be taken ofr. A perfect picture having been Indeli bly printed on the plate by the sun's rays, the hand-press and a little print er's Ink are only reiuired to produce any number of finely finished plettire. The plate Is used the same a litho gra)hic stone, and photographs cal be )rinted from It in all of the natural colors, by skillful manipulations. These photographs are ditrorent from the stil-prilnted pictures, inasmuch 1as they Will never fade, never turned yellow or become blurred-the color aind tone being perimaent. People can select their own colors or tones even after the negative has been im-Inted, ind illpr Jessions can be taken 1rom01 the sa110 negative of either soft or brilliant tints. Nothing but unpre pared artist's papr is used, and prints catn be Made with either mat, brilliant or enaniel surface, without losing aiy of their brilliancy. - I 6 -- 7he Nem ' Vu(1.-The new vault iII the United States 'iub Treasury, in New York, whieh has been prepared for the storage of silver dollars, Is for ty-eight feet in length, thirty feot, in width. and 12 feet in height. if every avaiilatle inch should be paicked solidly with 4l2,1 grain dollars it would hold not farl. from forty mnillon dollars.

These breeders of disease are fre quently compounded of refuse tobacco, cut up from old butts of cigars that are pIk:ked up in the streets, and the curled exquisite, pufling'away at his cigarette, would probably throw it from him in disgust were he aware that the tobacco from which it is made is, in all proba bility, the remains of a cigar that has been between the lips of a man afflicted with a contagious d'sease. There are Instances now on record where sore mouths, and sometimes oven worse cota plaints have been introduced in this way. Another objectionable feature in cigarette fillings, is that they are of ten made of Turkish tobacco, into the composition of which opium enters largely. The effect of the constant in halation of this narcotic is exceedingly injurious. It acts directly upon both the nerves and the liver, and the con stant smoker of so-called Russian or Turkish cigerettes, soon becomes pale, jaundiced and listless, the enervating drug sapping up the life ofPthe smoker, and at the end of a few years leaving him unfit for work and a veritable ob ject of compassion, in his inability to free himself from the baneful influence of the subtle poison. Another deleter Ious effect of cigarette-sinoking, arises from the paper in which tobacco is wrapped, In the manufacture of this peculiar paper, white lead forms one of the component parts, and this is a deadly poison, which, absorbed into the system, produces blot.ches on the face, injures the teeth, and makes sores on the lips. These results may be seen frequently in .A day's walk-startling warnings against the perniclous cus tom. Another strange argument against cigarette-smoking, is the fact that the combustion of the cigarette makes it impossible to avoid inhaling large quantities of nicotine-one of the most deadly poisons known to the phar macopola. A physician has detailed some of the symptons that had lately come under his notice, in the case of a young man now under his treatment for serious illness from cigarette smok Ing. The patient was a young man of wealth and social position, who had ac quired the habit of cigarette-smoking, and had found himself at the end of a year utterly prostrated with a disease in which execessive nervousness ani racking pains in the head and back, were the principal features. Follow ing these symptons came loss of appe tite, and the unfortunate young man soon had a craving for indigestible and highly spiced food, the eating of which naturally caused derangement of the digestive organs, and another train of ills.

The system must be built up with a genuine tonic in order to the recovery of vigor and tranqmlity by the nerves. A courso, sys tomatically pursued, of the leading inv gorant, liostettoer's Stomach Bitters, should be re mortod to by those who suffer from weak nerves and general debility. Tho stomach, alw.tyti more or less dyspeptic in cases of nervousness and loss of vitality, is toned and regulated by this medicine until the organ ac a with a precision akin to that of a stoatdy going piece of mechanism. Complete digestion and assimilation are, through the influence of the Bitters, followed by a gains of vigor and flesh, and the disappearance of biliousness and irresularity of the bowels, who're such oxiat. as they usually do.
