FASHIQN WRINKLES. SUGGESTIONS FOR MARCH. From the American Agriculturist. Yeon trom tne FARM WORK FOR THE The sarface water should be grain and other fields before the ground is entirely thawed. All drains require frequent Inspection, lip besos at this time, when the out- lets may be cl oon f by ice and snow. Clover seed may be sown this month. A very even cast can be obtained by sowing upon a light fall of snow on a still day. There will be larger quantities of artificial fertilizers used this spring, and an application of those of the right kind will in many cases greatly benefit the crops receiving them. As a | caution we would say, buy no fertilizer without | knowing it to be as represented. These are | special and expensive manures, and should be j bought of responsibie dealers (of whom there are several) and used understandingly.

If we must forego the ver- | nal season, we can find our compensation in an | autumn, the like of which is not known in the | old world, Our transition from winter to. sum- meris usually marked by some days—it may be a week or two—of the most uncertain and disa- greeable weather or the year; then summer at once follows. It is on account of this sudden opening of the growing season that we so often advise the doing of. everything that can be properly done, in the fall. Whether one’s labor is in the orchard, the vineyard, the fruit garden, or the vegetable or flower xarden, no matter how much he may have done the previous autumn, he will tind that the work of our brief spring ‘will come upon him sud- dently, and that = host of things wil crowd themselves upon his attention, and all demand- ing to be done at once. In the press of work at the opening of the season it is possibte to do some things too soon. One is often teumpted to put in the plow or spade too soon in preparing the land for early ero This is a case in which | one ean follow the old Injunction “make haste slowly.” If the soil does not crumble as it falls before the plow or from the spade, but is pasty | and is left with a smooth surface, then wait. | If the waiting seems too long, consider if drains + DestGys for next season are clearly showing appropriate modes for ail spring wear.

Sort CLovn Warktxe Jackets for the prome- nade, designed for March; these garments are and if necessary new ones vought. A good seed- sower will save more than its cost ina large garden the first year. The pea brush and bean poles can be best procured before the leaves start. The potato bug may be expected, and all should be prepared to meet this pest. The white butterfly Is the parent of the cabbage “worm,” and killing it is the shortest way to destroy this trouble in the garden. THE FLOWER GARDEN AND LAWN. A top-dressing of fine, well-retted manure will do the old lawn much good. Care should be taken that there be no weed seed in the fer- tilizer applied. Ashes, . fine bone meal and nitrate of soda, are all excellent for a lawn, and they bring on no seeds of troublesome weeds. “New lawns should be made as early in the spring as ible, that the grass may get a good start and protect its own roots during the hot months of summer. Red-top is best for light soils, and Kentucky blue-grass for those of a clayey nature; a little white clover may also be add The seed should be sown liberally as a fine turf only comes from thick seeding. Not | teas than four bushels to the acre should be sown. If walky or drives are to be made, bear in mind that a walk that is cheap in the begin- | ning is always unsatisfactory and dear in the | end. Make sufficient excavation and use large stones at the bottom with smatier ones near the surface, to make a solid foundation. Some of | the ornamental trees inay_be planted early; the evergreens may wait until later. GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS. As the warm days ef spring approach, the in- sect pests will multiply more rapidly, and greater care will be required in keeping them in check, Thorough washings will kill the red spider. The mealy bug is best destroyed by hand picking. Abundant fresh air wili be needed, and an oc- casional fumigation with tobacco. The bulbs brought into heat will soon produce flowers. The propagation of bedding plants should be going on. ‘Seeds of pants to zo into the open borders may be sown in boxes and given plenty of heat. Se ee nee MEN WHO PAINT AND POWDER.

The millinery goods in particular are extremely varied. The first importations of bonnets and hats for spring, as I learn by a round of the Jobbing houses, are English and Milan straws, almost to the exclusion of chip. White or Ratural straw coler, black and col straws will all bein vorne. The shades are various, too. Larze sizes will, I fear, be abundant, in spite of the popular indignation of the other sex against them; but capotes, Normandy capa, and even diadem or coronet trimmed bonnets willail be worn. The large hats are v large indeed. They have eccentric crowne—flat. conical, squarish, low and high.

We trust that many fruit gardens will be started this spring, Select a warm piece of ground conveniently near tie house for gather- ering the fruits and protection from trespassers. The soil should be rich. deep and mellow; in short, a fruit garden should have the best soil that can be found. te ane of the best sorts of grapes, raspberries, blackberries, strawberri currants and gooseberries = were ae last month, so that the selections might be made early, and the desired plants or- dered in time to receive the best attention from the nurserymen. The planting isto be done so soon as the ground{s settled. Blackberries aud Faspberries start very early, and it is best to set them in the fall: but very early in spring will do. The canes that grow this year will produce the fruit next season. Every "mer should grow all the grapes the family requires, and for this it is not necessary to have a large vineyard. A few vines well kept in some out-of-the-way place wil bring large returns for care bestowed upon them. Grapes need a good soil and attention in grain silke. They will be used in combination pruning.

THE KITCHEN AND MARKET GARDEN The cold frawne plants, that is, those that were wintered in frames should go into the garden as soon as the soil is ft to work. The cabbage, cauliflower and lettuce are the three leading | kinds of plants that are kept in frames and planted out early. ‘The plants may be hardened in the frames by taking off the sashes at all times during the present month, when the weather is hot cold enou<h to chill the plants. In market gardens where astrict economy of the ground is of great Importance, the lettuce is planted between the rows of cabbage or cauliflower. ‘The ground sould alse be heavily mauured—as high as 75 tons of fine stable manure per acre may be used—atter which the land is marked out in rows about two feet apart, and the cabbage plants set 18 inches apart in the rows. ‘The lettuce plants may be set one foot apart between these rows.

L. Fairc Popular Scicnc Within every living organism the opposing fortes. The “vital force.” which pro- duces all the phenomena of life, holds the ma- terlal elements in unstable relations—against their will, so to speak—and It is antagonized by the natural chemical affinities of the elements, which tend to break down the organic com- pounds aad rearrange the elements in more stable form. ‘Bhis decomposition takes place in some degree during the life of every orzanisn; and when life ends, or when the yital force ceases to act, it rapidly destroye the structure. The waste matter resulting from this disin- tegration must be immediately removed trom the body of the living animal, otherwise it clogs and poisons the system. The method of its ment is one of the most admirable tious of the animal economy. To remove the effete matter in the natural liquid ov solid state would be very extausting; consequently it is burned and the gaseous products of its union with are then easily carried away. _Lit- eraliy speaking, this makes a furnace of the body of every animal; and the most pr and ceaseless demand of the system oxygen to support its fires. Respiration is hence an absorbing -and excreting process, whereby oxyven is received and cathonic acid and water removed. It thus becomes a measure of the amount of combustion, In the “cold-blooded” animals respiration bears a direct proportion to the activity and the heat of the body, as the former causes a ineta- morphosis and waste of tissue, and the latter always aids decomposition.

The most remarkable funeral probably ever witnessed in News Orleans took place there on Saturday, February 11. It was the occasion of the burial of Mrs. Margaret FHeaughery, “a woman who never wore asftk dress or a kid glove.” But no woman in the whole south was better known than she.

The funeral was atten by a concourse of people that conld scarcely be | numbered, they were so many. The archbishop of the diocese conducted the services.

From the church to tie cemetery where they buried her. the streets and | sidewalks were thronged with mourners—men, | women, and children. In the procession were the members of one of the city fire companies, in citizens’ dress, the Mississippi, No.2. The dead woman iad been an honorary member of | this company. Wherever the corteze passed along the streets, at its approach men stopped their | hurried walk and stood with uncovered heads, till it passed, as though this had been the burial of aking, ot a person of world-wide renown.

A thin-chemise is often all that is worn under the corset, even in the coldest of weather. It is a perilously pernicious practice. If ladies would only wear someting approach- ing the merino vests, &c., seen in gem en’ hosiere’ windowa, they would not require the heated rooms at present rendered necessary from the insufficient attire now in vogue. To be sure, this admits of heavy overclothing being worn wheg out of doors—oloth jackets, furs, fars trimmed with fur, and ail the paraphernalia of costly outer attire in which the female heart Tejoices. But stouter und would be far, far better in every way. It would admit of lighter outer-clothes, and be compatible with a heaithy stroll, even for those who are not unfa- iliar with a carriage.—G@ood Words. oe A Texas Apology.
