CLARK. $$ How to Water Plants, This is a simple enough operation; neverthe- less, amateurs, through not understanding when and how it should be done, frequently injure their plants, and even kill them, Many mike a point of watering their plants at stated Inter- vals without any reference to the nature o: th» plant or the state of the atmosphere. A call: requires a large amourt of water, a camelia needs a moderate but uniform supply, anda cactus scarcely any, except when growing or flowering; if the last two were watered as free. ly as the first requires to be, they would soon die. With the exception of aquatic plants, a constant saturation of the sotl with water is 21- Ways injurious, almost as much so as to allow them to become so dry as to cause ther leaves to wilt. When the bail of earth in ths pot be- comes solid and full of roots, it is somtfnes dif. ficult to ascertala whether the plant needs Wwarer or Lot, aS the surface of the soll may be moist ard the interior of the ba!l may be ash- ary. To ascertain whether this {s so or not, rap the side of the pot with your knuckles; if it gives out a hollow, ringing sound, the ballis dry and the plant needs watering; if the sound 4s Guil and solid, no watering ts required. AS tbe roots of plants in pots have but a limited area from which to derive moisture and Jood, particular attention should be paid that they do not yet too dry. When you do water them, give sufficient to soak the ball thoroughly, and Withhold it. until {t ts again required. 4 little water on the surface ts aimost useless. In the summer season, when plants are tu a state of aciive growth, they reautre watering every day, unless the air be very moist or foggy. During the winter season, when they are in a State of comparative rest, they do not need hearly stich an amount of water, especially 1f the temperature and the moisture in the at- mosphere are properly regulated. It 1s a goo plan, when the ball of earth 15 hard and well Niled up with roots, to take a large-sized skewer and rua it down into the ball in three or four pfaces about midway between the stem of the plant and the rim of the pot. The holes thus made wili convey the water into the interior of the ball and preve it from all run- ning down between the ball and the sides of the pot, and so leaving the heart of the ball quite dry, although it may be thought that a sufticfency of water has beea given. The water should always be but Ifttle below the tempera ture of the room in which the plants are kept, otherwise the roots will be chilled aud their healthy action checked, which 1s to be guarded agalnst, Asa rule, the eveniag 1s the best tine tor watering, mea in sutamer, but it is uot lnperalive to do so; always give them water when you see that they need {t, the same you would @ au animal water when it is thirsty, without reference to any particular hour Or portion of day. To give a plant water 1s not only necessary as supplying it with flaid, but also as supplying it with food. Plants can only take up their food in a quid form; they nevér take ft up in a® solid or Insoluble state. Hence when thet HOt sufficient water tn the soil to take up id hold in soltttion the plant food tn the soft, im plant grows hungry as well as thirsty, and its growth ts check It is not, therefore, always hecessary to repot plants into larger pots when the soll appears to be largely exhausted of plant food, for the lack can be Supplied thrgugh solu- Uon of such food in the water given'to them, 2 by the roots for the nour- ishment of the plaat. Ltquid manure given in this way must not, however, be made very strong; a thimbleful of ano, for Instznce, to a quart of water is suficient, ‘and twice a week quite often enough to give 1t—not that the whole quart of water is to be gtven at each ume, but only so much of ft “as would be necessary if plain water were given.

By the cession of Dulcigno a long and weari- some struggle has most probably been brought toaclose. There {s Mttle in the size, appear- ance or history of the little seacoast town which should warrant the interest it has lately excited throughout the civilized world. Its position is just such as commercial and seafaring peoples in all ages aud climes have pitched upon as halfway houses for thetr trade routes along In- besMitable coasts. The old upper town, girded With tts rufmous Venetian walls, rises ona pe- ninsular rock, almost severed from the matn- jand behind It by two coves of sea, that to the south being the old harbor of the town, rock-set atthe offing, but shallowing off to shelvisg Sands Within, and hardly titted for larger cratt than the coasting barks or frabaccoli of the Dulcignotes themselves. The real harbor of Dulcigno, however, is the Val dt Noce, distant “bout an hour, which, in the summer months, betng well shielded from the scirocco, affords ood anchorage for ships of the greatest bur- len, but gives less protection against the wintry gale3 from the rorth. The Dulcignotes them- Selves, before all things a seafaring peopl, pos- sess some two hundred and ‘sixty larger “barks,” as they call them, and with the smal- ler crarter “fercats” counted in, possesses al- together between four and five hundred ves- sels, the greater part of which have been lately rigorously confined to the Valdi Noce end the river Bojana by a severe edict of the local governing*committee, which wishes to Keep ev be oe lable citizen, be he sea captain or uot ready for tbe defence of the town against all would-be occupants. ‘The loss which the town has thus suffered is severe, as the Dulcig- notes have quite an extensive trade;they ply not only with Adriatic ports like Trieste and Brindisi but With Malta, Alexandria and other still more distant havens, bearing from these shores the umber of Mireditiam forests and the har- vests of the rich campagna of Durazzo. After the Turkish conqt ii the savage instincts of the Dulcignotes und vent in deeds of sea robbery, and Dul- eo during the seventeenth century became t at pirate nest of the Adriatic. The dam- age Aniiicteds by these hardy corsairs on the shipping of Venice was so considerable that the Serene republic strove on several occasions to destroy their nest. It would appear, however, that the Dulcignotes are not the habit of Slelding to “naval demonstrations,” for the fact Temains that though the Venetians and their allies bombarded tor walls, such was lesperate valor of the de- fendevs That no ent could be effected in the fortified upper town.

I find that this constant care 1s the foundation oft gcod housekeeping.—“Gussie Thomas” in country Gentionan, Botton BakED BEANS.—Pick over the beans, rejecting all imperfect ones; soak them over bight; In the morning parboll them till the skins crack open, dip them from the kettle with a perforated skimmer into a glazed earthen FOt, salt to taste, put In the top of the pot a plece of fat salt pork with the rind scored, cover with water, put on a cover of dough or tin and bake in an oven not very hot for six hours.

Ir Is Sarp that pencil drawings may be ren- dered ineffaceable by this simple process:— SUgbtly warm a sheet of ordinary drawing paper, then place it carefully on ube surface of a solution of white resin in alcohol, leaving it there long enough to become thoroughly moist- ened, Afterward dry it in a current of alr. Paper prepared in this way has a very smooth surface. In order to fix the drawing. the paper is to be warmed for a few minutes. This method may prove useful for the preservation of plans or Gesigns, when the want of time or any other cause Will not aliow of the draughtsman repro- ducing them in ink.

Persons who have delicate nerves, or in- cipient brain disease, are said to be affected with an almost homicidal impulse by such severe excitement, and itis not mevely impa- (fence, but an irritability induced by weakness of the nerves, which leads people whilst crowd- ie {into the train to push those in front of ern. Cocoa.—Many different kinds of cocoa are Low advertised, but when the nibs are prop- erly prepared there can be no doubt that the cocoa made from them isless heavy and more Gigestible than that obtained in other ways. Bruise one fourth pound of best Trinidad co- coa nibs in a mortar, add two quarts of water and bollslowly eight hours. Then strain and pour into bottles. It will keep fresh for sev- eral days, Heat the quantity required for breakfast, and serve in a kettle, witha spirit lamp underneath, as it is most {mportant that the cocoa should be hot. Boiled milk should be served up at (he same table, This method of preparing the cocoa enables the housekeeper to have it always ready at hand to heat as re- quired In a few minutes. Shell cocoa ts cheaper; It must be boiled very slowly, the pro- ruions of water Honk one quart to a break- ast cupful ofthe shell. After straining let it get cold, then im off all the oll, and give it another boil before serving. Another econo- mical way of making cocoa ts to take three hanofulls of shell cocoa and one ounce of poe nibs; boll them in water three or four jours the day before the cocoa 13 wanted. —. ¥. Tribune. REMEDIES FOR THE Erizoory.—The experl- ence of those having the care of horses in New York shows that the epizootic spreads among those who never come in contact with the animals suffering from it. The treatment now panied is entirely different from the course ‘Ken at its former visit. The animals are com- os to perform 2 modicum of work. When 2 ‘orse returns to the stable his throat, mouth and nostrils are rubbed with oll or warm water. Then he ts given as much cut_ food mixed, with bian, as he can eat. If his bowels are in bad order powdered nitre is given him. Pains are taken also to keep the antinals warm and out 07 draughts. The surgeons now believe that should the weather continue mild for a short Ume longer the animals will recover without passe Ubrough the several stages of the dis- ease. No fatal cases have so far occurred, though many horses are so far gone as to be unable to stand. I pRay you, O excellent wife, not to cumber yourself and me to get arich dinner for this Man or this woman, who has alighteed at our gate, nor a bedchamber made ready at too grea: cost.

Aman always gets into a scrape when he pokes around among his wife’s things without tmoission. Mr. Durrie, of Jersey clty, had ‘i ennoyed by having his wife Sell 13 old clothes to peddlers, and thought one day, when a peddier called in her absence, that he ‘would reciprovate; so he traded a lot of her ola gar- ments off for tinware and plaster images, and among other things a palr of half-worn’ cor- Sets. He rubbed his hands In silent. enjoyment over the joke. But when his wife returned ard was informed of the transaction she Tushed up stairs to see what was gone, and, not piding the corsets, exclaimed: ‘Gb, yes!” . cund a a table old patr and let them go.” " he wife burst into tears, and, between soba, ‘xplained that, in order to hide from burglars the $1,100 he had entrusted to her for safe keeping, she had sewed the money up in those Corsets.

Horses can be educated to the extent of thelr understanding as children, and can be easily @amaged or ruined by bad management. We believe that the difference found In horses as to vicious habits and reliability, comes much more from the different management of men than from variance or natursl disposition in animals, Horses with high mettle are more easily educated than those of less or dull spiriis, and are more susceptible to l-traint and consequently may be made good or L according to the education they receive. Horses with dull spirits are uot by any means Proot against bad management, for in them may befouud themost piovoking obstinacy; Vicious habits of different characters that render thera almost entirely worthless. Could the coming generations of horses in this country be kept from their days of colthood to the age of five years in the hands of good, carefui,mana- gers, there would be seen a vast difference in the general character of the nobie animal. If a colt is never allowed to cet an advantage, it will never know that it possesses a power that man cannot control, and itmade familar with strange objects it will not be skittish 7and nervous. Ita horseis made accustomed from his early days to have objects hit him on his heels, back, or hip he will pay no attention to the giving of a harness, or a wagon running against him at an unexpected moment. ‘We once saw an aged lady driving a high- spirited horse attached to a carriage down a steep hill, with no holdback straps upon the harness, and she assured us that there was 1O danger, for her son accustomed his horse to all kinds of usage and sights that vommoniy drive the animal invo a frenzy of fear and excitement.
