PARK AND GARDEN, STRAW UPON YOUNO GRAMS.-One of my neighbors covered his titnotby and clover beeding with straw which had servet as stubble bedding, the propor tion of dung being small its tile straw was very freely used. This was s)reAd as drawn, during the forepart of last W inter, covering part of a field. The open Winter favored tile application, and called for protection. Alter tile opening of March the severe freezing and thawing were hard upon Seeding, lifting the young grass and clover Of tile tonprotected part of the hield. Where the straw was applied tile seed.

The little duing that went with tile straw undoubtedly helped to retaitn tle vigor of tile piant; the protectlon uCiIg what was ilost nkeedeu, aniid tis the straw alforded, The case I think is U. clear one, showing that straw, or it shnlaur course watei-ial, is a proec Lion in open Wintecrs.

GAnDEN ORNAMENTs.-A lady cor respondent tells us Jhat in many plaepq in the ecountry scarcely a flower-garden or front yard Is now seen without one or two rustle vases in which to grow plants. While many persons cannot afford the more costly and elegant ones, every farmer's wife and daughter call, by the aid of husband or brother, pos sess pretty rustic vases and baskets that will, when ' filled with suitabI e plants, richly repay all labor upon them. Sometimes when getting wood for winter use the farmer may find something just the thing to use as a standard for one of these rustle vases. She has one formed of an oak stump about a foot in diameter, which at a certain distance from thq ground, branehes out with three arms, or legs. Wien they weresawed off in the pro por place, the stump was inve rted,and as it stands In the garden it reminds her of her grandmother's three- egge.l light-stand. Upon this standard wias placedi a bushel (such as farmer's use Co take their truit to market). It Is about 19 inebs long by 8 inches deep, and is covered witli rustle ornaments, such as strips of wood with the bark loft on, nalled upon the box to hide It, In any fanciful snape. Tiey may b) tt difierent lengths so as to form points at the bottom. Several holes nay be bored in the bottom of the box to secure drainage, with a few pieces of charcoal laid in the box before- put ting ini the earth, Use good soil and mix in a little sand, leat' moid, and well rotted manure. Money-wort is ni1u to plant arountd the edge oi the box, and so is .the German Ivy, as it grows luxuriantly and drapes prettitly. Sonetines she plants a tall crimson Drnceita ini tihe Centre sometimes a Lall variegated leaved Abutitlon or a large geraatnum, surrounded by lower grow ing plaints. Vinua Variegata Is beauti Iul ior garden baskets or vases,to droup over ,h0 edges, and a few plantS of Colous and fricolor geraniluta always are pretty for tie ceitirs.

NEDDIE AND TUE JAOKASS.-OInC of tho most popular young nen on the 1li1. Is Neddie Long, who for years was a member of the tire department. On ThanksgIving Day Neddle dran k i ather more Ueer than was good for him, and while in a semi-intoxicated coidition started across the vacant lots at Oakland and Hoboken avenues. In this lot Justice Nicoll has a pet Jack nes which grazes on whatever goats and other animals leave. It is a tame Jack and a great tavorite with the cili iren residing in the yicinity. Ned dle splied the animal when halt way over the field and he at once stopped. "Be the powers," h said, as he ap proanihed the long-eared animal. 6I'll have a throw wid yo. If I down ye twice out of three times I'll ride ye hoime, an' if ye down me I'll bring ye a pall of wather." Neddle spoke in all seriousness, and as lie concluded, he caught hold of tle J .okass, and by a vigorous eflort threw It on its side. "That's one for me," said .leddle, rubbing his hands. "Come on, Mul doon.'' lie caught tihe astonished Jack by the cars and attempted to upset it again, but either the beer effected lim, or the animial entered luto the spirit of the Joke, for the next nioment Neddie was downed" most comln)IetOly and rolled by 1is opponent into a ditch % hich flowed handily by. Neddie picked blinself up, rubbed the mild out oi his eyes and gazed at the jackass, which with cars erect, faced hiu for the final tePt. "Begorra," said Neddie slowly, as lie Stepped to the opposite side of~ the stream, "you're to willin. We'll just postpone the last throw till Christmas." As he started to leave Neddlo saw that the tu0sle was being enjoyed by some thirty or forty itizens, who cheered the jackass to the eeno as his human antagonist fled. His dinner amounted to thirty cents. le walked up to the counter smartly, laid down his cheek and three coins, and was tr'ippng lightly out the door, when, "Imere I I say there! How's this?"

Very Useful on a Dressing Table are little baskets of three or four inehes in diameter, just largb enough to hold a spook. of black cotton, one of white, a needle book and a tiny pairof scissors. Baskets of this kind are to be had rest ing on three legs, and may with a little patience and ingenuity be made ex ceedingly pretty as well as useful. Thxey should be carefully lined with a little gay-colored silk or satin, and should lave a small pocket, just large enough for a thimble, tucked inside, and opposite this should be fastened a tiny stuffed pincushion. The scissors should have a sheath of the same color as the lining, if possible, and the needle-book should be small but con venient for holding two flat papers of neCles and a ieaf or two of fine flannel. A little eord round the edge of the bas ket is a great improvement and finish.
