Ligtip MANURE FoR Rosss,—The Rura! New Yorker reports an experiment performed by G. S. Wales in applyiag Mquid manure to roses, Which, although not new, 8 worthy of notice for its success. Small plants had been set out on clayey soil, and after every heavy rain-which bad furnished leachings from the manure pile im the barpyard., it was applied to the roses in afew holes made within four or five inches of €acb plant with a sharpened wooden rod. The next day the so!l was Stirred with a boe. The eperation was repeated elght or nine times through the season, and the result was reported to be “wonderful ;” the blooming continued through the summer into October, CHLORIDE OF LIME FOR TREES —Le Cultivatenr, & French journal, says that if chloride of lume be spread on the sof! or near plants, In- sects and vermin will not be found near then, and adds, “By its means plants will easily be protected from insect plagues by stmoly brushing over thielr stem3 with a solution of ic. Jt bas often been nojiced that a patch of land Which has been treated tn this way rematas religiously reapected by grubs, wnile the ua- rotected beds around are literally devastated. rult trees may be guarded from the attacks of grubs by attaching to their trunks pleces of tow smeared with a mixture of hog’s lard, and ants and grubs already in possession’ will rapidly vacate their posttioa. Batterfites, again, will avoid all plants whose leaves have been sprinkled over with lime water.” GARDEN INs8cTS.—Prof, Lazenby, of Ithaca, reported to the Rochester horticultural meet- ing a number of his experiments tn destroytag garden tasects. The striped cucumber beeties give the most trouble, and appear in swarms on Me€jons. cucumbers and squashes. The best remedy is light sprinklings of fine soot and ashes, collected from boiler flues. Atr-slacked Ime 1s nearly as good. For the cabbage de- stroyer he has appited carbollc acid, copperas Water, ammonia, cayenne pepper, tobacco, Scotch spuff and'tar water, bu% whale ofl soap is better than any of them. The soap ts put im a barrel of water at the rate of four pounds te a barrel of water. It dissolves in a few days and ts then ready for appitcation with a water- ing pot. The last of the three necessary appli- cations should be at least two weeks before the cabbages are harvested. The longer the golu- Uon stands the worse is its odor, and the more effective its results. How Grats ARE MADE STRAIGHT.—The Hindoo girls are graceful and exquisitely formed. From their earilest childhood they are accustomed to carry burdens on their heads. The water for family use Is always brought by the girls in earthen Jars, carefully poised in this way. Tue exercise 18 said to strengthen the muscles of the bac&, while the chest {s thrown forward. No crocked backs are seen in Hindostau. Dr. 0.

The young la- dies ought to be taught to carry the jar as these Hindoo women do, without’ ever touching it with their hands. The same practice of carry- ing water leads precisely to the same results la the south of italy as in India.

Tag parent moth 1s a Uny white-winged sort of mitier that fits about at all hours seeking a place to lay her ges. The larve are maggot-like, smo9tn- bodied having sixteen feet. They live In ¢ dof the substances waten they b yd, held together with silk ef th spinning, in whieh they move atau en. They are very many so-calied moth pi€ventives, but none of them are effec- lve for the purpose of destroying the germ or €gg ofthe insect from which the larve are hatched, and which alone do the harm. Cam phor wiil keep the parent moth away when sho comes to lay her eggs, but the trouble begins with the eggs, which ‘are already in the gar- ment when it is put away for the summer. ‘There ts but one metnod of getting rid of these €gg8, and that is the one the furriera take. Provide yourself with some tough green switches or rattans about three feet jong, spread your garments upon a table before you, take a whip in each hand and beat them long and thoroughly until not a larv:e or egg can exist.

The individual who procures headwear of any sort seldom asks the question whether the material was gathered from living or dead, dis- eased or healthy, Swede, Russian, American or Frenchman; yet to each of these sugg»stions there 1s a story of itself of which the world kbows little, These mysterious points were the subject of inquiry at the store of a certain hair dealer in Chicago. He states that fitteen per cent of the human race are bald, the greater Proportion of which class are among thé males. In this day and age it 13 avery small matter to make a better looking head of a bald pate than nature bestows on the average individual. In France, England and Germany there is a peculiar in: dustry, consisting in the manufacture of * lace” of a texture so delicate that the ordinary individual would not detect it from the gitsten— Ing skin of the bald head. It is tmported to this country with other raw material. Go down into the cellar of the dresser and one will flud @ bevy of girls sewing hatr on slips of thia lace, which by careful handling develops into wings and bandeaux. These articles on this decsittal lace look exactty like a fresh released scalp with the natural halr attached. The only way an individual with one on can be detected 13 to flud bin with tt off. Does thereader know what a Dandeaw is? It Is 8 lady’s wig. Imagine the Surprise Of seven-clghths of the readers who hever knew Chat some women were bald. They are. Elisha had a female relative to whom ne transmitted his pecultar condition. Her d2- Scendants are Rot so numerous as his, but there are bald women for all that. A bapdeau differs from a wig; it parts squarely in the middle and each side ls composed of long shreds. . It can b> done up in chignon, net or otherwise, like any woman's natural hair. It can be frizzied, curled, wove or combed straight, and not a’ mortal knows its deceltfulness except Its rand its makes. The old wig never compared with the new regime. That cl got its Owners ino juent embai situations. The present kind alleviates all embarrassment except that of the hapless individual who marries for a beautiful head of hair, to find it counterfeit. Ofall shades the medium brown and dark bair predorainates with the American people, oe heeds ca in CoN ecg next, then red, and finally gray. Speaklag of red hair reminds one that itis the fashtoa now. What are Chicago women dving tn such a case? They are hurrying to the barber—many of them—who oe off their locks. Tuese are taken to the dresser, who carefully bleaches them, and then by an extraordinary but secret chemical process the hair ts run through some half dozen courses until it becomes a fine, sliky red. It is an excructating operation for the woman, but King Fashion rules with an iron hand, and her hair mu3t be turned red atall hazards. Itisa safe process, after all, for by the time the fashion changes another head of hair will have developed. Some people think that blondes never grow grayheaded. The fact 1s, one third of white shreds may be mingled with such hair, and few will notice it. The same proportion of bionde- headed Vases turn gray as those with any other colored hair. The proportion of people who dye their hatr is also surprising. Some 2) per cent are sald to do this. Of course, the greater pro- portion of this class are white-haired people. A white head is often, though not aiways, a sign of a life of troubie, Ic may, however, have been turned white in a night from grief or fright. The dresser is more than often amused by requests from the country for “coid water Irizzes.” These, of course, comprise an article which will curl easily by application of water and are easily supplied.
