It often .happees tbat, either by in- tention, as in pruning, or by accident, trees are wounded in various ways. A. common peactiee is to cover large wokinds with ceal tar ; but this is ob- jected to by some as injurious to the tree. Experiments made in the eroh- ards and gardens a the Pormological Institute, at Rutlelegen, in Germany, go to show, however, that its true use is nor injurious; but that, on the con- trary, a callous readily forms under the tar, oa the edges of the wound, and 1.,10.t the wounded pert is thus proteet- el from decay. There is, neVerthelese, another objection, for if the tar is ap- plied a little too thick, the sun melts and it runs down on the bark of tae tree. This can be obviated by snixiug and stirring and thus incorpor- ating with the tar about three or our times its weight a powdered slate, known as slate-flour—the mixtare be- ing also known as plastic, slate and used for roofing purposes. It is easily a -Palled with an old knife or flat stick, and thence it hardeus ou the surface, soft and elastie underneath, The heat of the sun does not ,melt it nor does the coldest winter weather cause it to crack—neither does it peel otf. Tthe same mixture is also useful for other purposes in. the garden. Leaky water -pots, barrels, pane, gutters, sashes, etc., can be easily repaired with it, and. much annoyance and loss of time thne avoided. It will stick to any surface, provided it be not oily; and as it does not harden when kept in a mass, it is always ready for use. A gallon, will last for a long time. A most el.-cellent preparatiOn for small wouads and for grafting, is thus prepared: Melt a pound of resin over a slow fire. When melted, take it from the fire and add tWQ ounces bal- sam of fire, or two °antes of Venice turpentine not spirits of turpentine, starring it constantly. A.s soon as it is cool enough, mix in four to six ounc- es of alcohol of 96 degrees straight— according to the season—until it is, as , thick as molasses. It keeps well In! close coeked bottles for a long time. Should it become too thick, by the gra- dual evaporation of the alcohol, it is easily thinned by putting the bottle in warm water and stirring in suffici- ent alcohol to bring it to a proper fluididy. It is applied with a brush. This preparation. is much .better than liquid grafting wax composed of resin, beef -tallow, and spirits of turpentine width often granulates. DECATING VEGETATION. The products of the decay of the vegetable matter furniehed by green naanuring exert a very beuticial ef- fect upon the soil. Ameng the most important of these products is carbonic acid. • The acid helps to keep the soil chemically active, that is, to produce beneficial cbeenical changewhich re- sult in making more food available. This acid, further, helps largely to dis- solve the useful constituents of the soil, especially the lime and phos- phates, thus bringing them within the reach of subsequent crops. It also attacks the stones and rocks of the action, is especially important in the soil, helping to disintegrate them. This case of all rocks and stones contain- ing litne. ilia green manuring crop is useful, furthermore, because while it occupies the land the conditions axe more fav- orable for those processes of fermen- tation which exert a beneficial influ- enee upon the soil. These processes are lavored by the shade furnished by the crop, by the restricted circulation of the air and by the more uniform soil temperature which the occupying of the land by a crop secures. The incorporation of the vegetable mat- • ter oe the green. crop in the soil may be the means of warming it. The darker color resulting from the pres- ence of humus favors the absorption of heat from the sun, and, the process of decay being in its final effect pxecisely like comabustion by fire, helps to raise the temperature of the soil. POTATOES FOR POULTRY. On several occasions we have seen this subject very freely discussed in the correspondence columns of one or other of the poultry journals, some people contending that the analysis of the potato show it to be a very unlit food for use, while others maintain Chat practical experience proves to be most useful, We favor the latter. Tadiciously given and blended with a iittle common sense, we consider the potato one of tire best additions to our fowls' bill of fare. Only the day be- fore writing these notes a case came under our notice where two neighbors both kept fowls and both had the same number, variety and, accommoda- tions. From twenty-four hens one was gettiag twenty eggs a day, the other telt. The former attributed the better laying of his birds to the use of a boilerful of warm potatoes mixed with his morning meal. It has al- ways been oar eustOm to use potatoes in some for 0:1 or another, and We look •upon them as both good and cheap, One plan we often adopt, in the winter time is to instruct the 'poultry lad to place a boiterful an the kitehen range every everting after tea; taese e,00k during the evening, and by the time She fire goes dowzt are done, and the little heat left and their own steam keep them warm, and: thus they ars ready for mixing with, Ole meal in the morning earlier than they would if not erepared over tight.

The reportWIlleh tell of the Damm- ing in the palace at St. Peteesburg be- cause the child borne to Nicholas II. the Other day ie a girl instead of a boy will suggest to readers of history the query as to whether Nicholas ever heard. of the person called Catherine IL Catherine was not only greater than her husband and predecessor on the thron.e, Peter ru,, or than laer son and sucoessor, Paul, but in intellectual power she stands above any othermon- eroli of the house of Itornanoff except Peter the Great axed Alexander t. If the members of the present Ras - elan court carry their researches into European history baele a century or two they will discover that women as orown wearers have not been outclass- ed by men. The witty. Frenchman who gave the name of " the war of the three petticoats " to the confliet of 1756-63, whieli is called in European history the seven years' war, and is known in American annals as the French and Indian war, paid a very high compliment to women. The "three petticoats" were Maria. Theresa, Em- press of Austria, Elizabeth, Russia's Empress, and Mme. Pompadour, who was the real directing head of France during a large part of the reign of Louis XV. These women, and Catherine II., who went to the Russian throne short- ly after Elizabeth's death, were Pow- erful forces in European politics, al- though they had as contemporaries of the otter sex Frederick the Great of Prussia, George 111., of England and Charles 111. the ablest of Spain's Kings except Charles I. and lais son, Philip 11. Everybody, of course, knows of Eliza- beth of England and Isabella of Spain, the last naraed of whom stood alone among the potentates of her, day in grasping the importance of Columbus' theory, and who gave him the assis- tance which enabled him to discover a new world.. Taine remarked that the sole prin- ciple which could• be clearly discern- ed in the absolutism, of the old Bour- bon monarchs of France was that wo- men were excluded from the throne. In France, however, women have exerted more influence than in any other coun- try of Europe. Me. Pompadour's sway has already been referred to. It was a woman, Mnae. Mai ntenon, who induced the autocraticeLouis XIV. to revoke the edict of Nantes, Bona- parte paid a very high tribute to Mme. De Staters ability and power when he declared that France was not large enough to hold her and him at the same time, and drove her out. The same shrewd observer declared that the Duchess of Angouleme, daughter of Louis XV). and Marie Antoinette, was the only man in the Bourbon family. These instances, and the case of Vic- toria of England and Christian of Spain among present potentates, ought to show the Russian Emperor that women are capable of making a mark in poli- tics. The intimation, of course, of the cable correspondents that the birth of daughters to the Czar leaves his throne without a direct, heir in ease of his death is ineorrect. It is within the power of the Czar to declare any one of his three daughters eligible to the throne. This privilege is one of the prerogatives of absolutism. LIVES OT GREAT MEN. Devoted Women wbo Dave Aided and Incited to Deeds of Renown. It is utha.ppily rare to find in the life records of successful men any- thing like adequate justice to the wives who, by their sympathy and en- cooragement have done so much to make great careers possible; and yet there are comparatively few men of note who do not ungrudgingly pay a high tribute to the laelpfulness of their wives. • Few men have more gracefully ac- corded this credit to their wives than Charles Kingsley, the great preacher andwriter, who professed to owe to his wife, everything good that he had ever done, and whose tender worship of her was, perhaps, the most beautiful thing in a beautiful life. "People talk," he wrote to his wife, of love ending at the altar. Fools I I sit at the window all morning, think- ing of nothing but home. I never be- fore felt the Imeliness of being with- out the beloved being whose every look and word and motion are the key- notes of my life." On one occasion, when a friend who was dining at the rectory was speak - in high praise of his latest work, Kingsley said, "Please do not say that to me. I am only the band; there, pointing to his wife, is my inspiraton." It was me of the best features of Lord „Baconsfield that he was always as generous in his praises of his wife as he was chivalrous in his attention to her • and this, although she had, in the words of an unkind critic, neither "birth, brains nor beauty" to win a man's homage. Seill, the "ecentrie widow" was the most slavishly devoted, of wives, and cherished and eared for her "Dizzy" a& if hit Were the rarest jewel on earth, It was laer devotion and her money that made a great career not only Possible but easy for her ambitious husband.

RUINED BY UMBRELLA STANDS. • You think that a hall is such a plain, matter-of-fact sort of' apartment that it cannot require any improvements. Well, we shall see, How about that umbrella stand? It would be interest- ing ao discover how many melt in the civilised world are in dangel of hav- ing their sweet tempers thoroughly soured by means of badly construeted umbrella stands. A. woman usually chooses an umbrel- la stand from the artistic point of, view. If space is a consideration she may venture, upon buying a large, ugly receptacle to which her irreverent husband will give the name " paint- ed drain pipe." This temper -trying toy is usually placed in one corner of the hall—as far out of the way as possible —and is filled with the umbrellas and sticks belonging to the entire house- holdoWNmark what happens. The man comes home in: the evening after one of his '`jard, dlays'' in town. He is feel- ing rather irritable and worried. He goes to this alleged umbrella stand and endeavors to put his umbrelLt therein. When the umbrella has got half way down it encounters an obstacle. The man tries to coax it downwards and fails. The " painted drain -pipe" is so full of other umbrellas that there is no TOO131 left for the most important umbrella in the house. As a matter of fact,1 the man had maneged to get his umbrella inside another One. If he h :opened to be very irritable he gave it a business -like push with the result that the end of his umbrella went through the cover of the other umbrella. In any ease that man has begun his evening badly • In the morning, when he wants his arnbrella again, and probably in a hur- ry, he finds that in taking it out of the painted drain -pipe, he has also re- moved several other umbrellas at the same time. It is impossible to avoid. doing this if the drain -pipe is full of umbrellas. The man stops to replace all the umbrellas with the exception of his own. He wastes a few moments in doing this and has to run to catch his train. He gets hot and flushed and uncomfortable, simply because he has begun his dey badly. The best umbrella stand is one in which the umbrellas are visible. Then, if one umbrella hepperis to get entang- led in another, the naischief can be righted in half a secon.d. Such a stand occupies more room than a painted drain pipe, and then there is less space in the hall for one:menial flower pots. A. man would gladly dispense with these decorations for the sake of the extra comfort derived from the know- ledge that he can move about the hall without: being in danger of knocking a valuable ornament over. A woman looks at the home from another point of view% She practically says : "Let the house be as pretty as I can make it, and if we muat have such a coramon- place article of furniture as an um- brella sten.d, let us hide it avvay if PGsssiblec omi-Les a properly constructed umbrella stand. is spoiled by being placet in a bad position, A favorite spat for it is underneath the hat and coat stand., This is apt to cause much vexation of spirit.

Take the double boiler off the fire, and mix with the custard a little salt and a •wineglasseul of Madeira. Put the peaches into a glass dish, and when the custard has partly cooled pour it over. • CHINESE—BABIES. In this country there are very few little girls now who have their ears pierced for earrings, but in China ev- ery little girl baby as soon as it is a year old has her ears pierced. They pinch the lower part of their little one's ears until they are quite numb and then stick a sharp needle through with a red cotton thread, on one end of which is a little blue bead, which is left there. Sometimes the little Chinese baby does not want its ears pierced, and then its mamma pierces kitty's ears to show how easy it is, and that _nearly always raakes baby willing. With the • binding of their feet to make. them small, and, the piercing' of their ears, the little Chinese girls do not have a very niee time of it. CA T For Infants and Children.

Cobben used to say that he owed any success he had achieved in life to hie wife, the "iguornat Welsh girL" whomi his friends looked on wtih so much sus- picion as an unsuitable helpmate for hina.
