GRAiiMs FOr WINTEll BLoOMING. From thu middle of August to the middle of September, select cuttings or ''slips" from your plants. The fresh growth of stock, not the old and woody: the new branches nearest - the root are the best. Break them off, close to the parent stalk 1 (better than to cut th3m). and plant in t soil composed of one third clean sand river sand if convenient--and two thirds rich garden soil. Keep them well watered, with sunlight after a few days, and allow them to remain in the ope: air as long as possible. When driven to the house by frost place them by south, cast. or if obliged to, by west window. Water then dallay, but not have them water soaked; have plenty or moisture in the altr by means of evaporation of water it you are a martyr to this so-c;lled modern improve ment. By January or Febuary fbwering I will begin. Of course the care they re- i ceived and favorableness of surroundings t will have much to do with the profusion - of bloom. Moisture in the air is absoluty m essential to success. The ordinary iron or I coal stove, or (fish between the stove-pipe and stove, or attached to the pipe, is little or no good. Thc best .incans we have found is to remove the top of the stove, t which is usually moveable to admit the c coal, and have a pan of tin or copper made I to fit the depression, which Is generally ini the top casting. If this (11811 holds a gal lon or so, all the better for the plants, and 8 the more conduictive to the health of the t occupants of the room. The best jar L for plants is the old-fashioned, brick-col- 1 ored crock. Avoid all that are glazed C upon the otitside or in8ine. The glazing prevents evaporation through the I1 pores of the jars, and geraniuns will not I thrive well without this. Small boxes r put together with screws, or dovetailed. t make excellent receptacles for growing C plants. Geraninms and plants generally (o best ni medium-sized, "lowish" rooms. t This becomes one of the compensations for living in snlPor.cottage houses; you can have your widows in dreary winter "blooming as the rose,,' while those of stately inansions prerent a bairen or scraggy appearance. Ti exposutre of the windows of the cheese room should ie toward the north and easi and itn co'd weather a dduble sash is most desirable. In this elos, even room, we atre able to detect the aroma of the strictly flne cheese. Oin opening the Y door to enter, the perfinie strile's the 0 sense most pleasantly. The odor can be likened to that fron many fragrant sources, I as fancy dictates. At one time, in turning u) the chrese, the i'erfumne of the pine tipple is certainly apparent ; tgainl, we think only of the atrawberry, or the rose. Under what ever niame, there it is, a do. C licately subtle exhalation of cheese Cds, which shows the maker where he stands. C Tihe character of that. cheese is fixed be- t yond a question. If the patironis would take pains to inform themselves on this a point of flavor it milit help them t ) de- 1 cide how tle work of the season is pro- t gressing. This perfune, however, need r1 not be looked for unless all other exterior N signs of cleanliness and care correspond. L It will not be found in Connection WithI cracked, leaky cheese, or in a room where the floor is all spotted over hith whey running fron the tables.

Langley, of the Allegheny Observatory, started otn July I for ant expedition of scien tific and( p)opular interest,. The main ob ject of this expedition is to determine by actual experiment the atmount, of heat given by the suin to thle earlIn. The co-operat ion of General Hatzen, Chief of the Signal Ser- . vice Bureau, has been given to the enter prise, and1( it, proceeds uinder his ofilial expeetion Tottaini its spleciail object the i exe mtomst seek one of the miost ele-. viated suinmits on the cont inent, ini an ex tremely arid region, these two condihiions being essential. Thiese are only to be foundI combinedi in the remote localities of Ari zonia and Southernm California. Two aid ja cent stattionis will lie selected, respect ively at heights Of 8,t000 and1 14,000 feet, for purposes of compairsion thirough their iek' nesses (of iitmiosphiere. Another obiject will be to prove tby a newv class of experiments a curious conclusioni which P'rofessor Lang icy hats alreadiy arrived at, to the cffect that thto stun is not really a white, or yellow of eveit a ted object, biut t hat sunlight is in reality a (deel) blue. The proof that we have a blue sun is, however. somewhat con elusive at piresenit, but this expedition is likely Io add to tihe strength of the p)roof. This it not merely a subiject oif curious in quiry. If ouir atmosphere in reatlity htas played the hpart, of yelhoy glasses, it follows that an entormous p)roportiont of the sun's heat has never been taken inito account in those questions oif scientific meteorology which have a special bearing on elimiate, and hence upon agriculture anid oIther prac tical affairs. ArcticErploration.--Dr. Wild, Presi dent of the Internmationual P'olatr Coimmis. slon, has issuted a ciretilaur statinig that six counitries haive alreuady iitimated their in. tonitin to cooperate in carryfng out time scheme of sinmultaneotis mete(orological, magnetical, and(0 ohier phiysical observat tions ini the Arctic regions. 'lTheso coun tries, with the proposed stations, are D)en mark at Upernivik. Norway ini Finmtark, Austria-hlungary in JTan Mayeii, or perhaps East Greenland, Russia in Novaya Zemyla and at the mouth of the Lena, Swedeni m Spitzbergen,and the United States at Point Barrow atid in Lady Franklin liay. Shiouhi ether countries sendt in their adhlesioni to the scelinae, this disp1ositioni of the stationts may be sonmewhmat muodifledl. 'Thterc is a proibability that Geri many may established a Station in the lanud of South GeorgIa, and Francee a station at Caipe lorn. An interestig feature in time scheme Is that two of the eight proposedi Arctic stations are to be equtpped at thne expense ot pri vate individuaia, viz., the station int Jan Mayen or in East Greenland at time expense of Count 11. von Wilczek. of Vienna, and the station in Spitzbergen, by M.

WunN the scraps are just beiinng to et brittle and brown, put in a tablespoon ul of flue salt to a quart of the hot lard, md th4ro will be no trouble; the lard will leep perfectly sweet for any length of line, and the salt does no possible harm to my kind of cookery. A person can easily udge of the quantity of lard If they know low much the kettle holds. It marces the ard whiter and harder, aside from preserv ng It sweet. It must cook a little while ifter adding the salt. That designed for ummer use should be either kept in a tight .arthen jar or a tin bucket with a cover. ro restoro lard that is a triflo tainted, put ,he lard into an iron ktttle, and cut up salt )ork in thin slices--about one-half pound >f pork to a gallon of melted lard; add wo spoonfuls of salt, and let It cook till he pork is crisp; take out the slices of pork md turn the lard Into your jar, and you vill never know that It has not always been weet. But It is better to salt in the first >lace, as it saves much trouble and tnie. AMMONA AU A HAin STIMULANT.-Pro easor Erastnus Wilson, of Loden, gives lie weight of his eminent authority in favor i amnnionia as a healthful stintulant for he hair, being preferable because it is un. ikely to create infilinnation and its Con13C uences; it is neither absorbable into the yatei, nor coulk it do harm if such were he case; ond its odor, refreshing at the 1o1ment of its use, speedily evaporates. In case of ordinary madesia, or falling out f the hair, Professor Wilson prescribei a Aion composed of strong liquor ainionia, lmond oil and chloroform, of each one >art, diluted with five parts of alcohol or usemary, and made fragrant by the addi ion of adrachin of the essential oil of loilm 'ns-the lotion to be dabbed upon the skin f the head after thorough friction with lie hair brush. UsUS OF A SAND BA0.-One of the most onvenient articles to be usi in a sick oom is a sand bag. Oet some clean, line and, dry it thoroughly In a kettle on the tove, iak6 a bag about eight inches square 1 flannel, fill it with the dry sand, cover he bag with cotton or lined cloth. 1This vill prevent the sand from sifting out, and vill also enable you to heat the bag quickly y placing it in the oven, or even on the ap of the stove. After once using this 'on will never attempt to warm the hands f a sick person with a bottle of hot water r a brick. The sand holds the heat a long ine, and the bag can be tucked up to the ack without hurting the invalid. - It is a ood plan to make two or three of the bags ud keep them ready for use. Viciy many persons wonder why the ranberry sauce that they have at home is ard, thick, and (lark. A dish of cooked ranberries in the glass ought to be some. iing very beautiful, light and delicate. To quart of the fruit put one cupful of water Id two cllpfuls of sugar ini a porcelain ned stewpau. Place oii the fire where iey Ilay stew slowly for two hours. Do ot dare to touch, nmuch less to stir them ith a spoon. That kills, solidifies, and lackens then. So does too fast c,oking. It cook very slowly or you will spoil the hole ing.
