Among the many objects of inter- est likely to attract the attention of • A.merican Loodon is the pro-. fnsion of flowers placed' tastefully in" frames attached te the _window sills of all the houses. These frames are handsome to look at, sire kept con- ' setantly filled with a variety of blooming ',plants, with not. unfre- quently a dwarf evergreen. ot two in the background, to add to the effect of the group In ,the perts of the oity where the wealthy classes live these window fixings are very elb- orate, and are frequently carriad from the first to the fifth storey. In the older streets, all through the me- chanics' and laborers' platers, in narroie ways and beak alleys, flowers are everywhere found. Not so many, nor of se expeasive a class. to be bum ; but even in these parts one - may see hundreds of windows on the fourth and fifth floors .ornamented with healk-looking plants of ger- anium, calceolario, fuchsia and fre- - • quent pots of mignonette, looking as if they were well cared for. How all of these can be kept so fresh, and' where did they all come from, are questions Whith avill naturally she,- gest- themselves, To answer them, one must go • to Convent Garden* Market about 4 oielock in the morn - in g% He will be doubly paid ,for the early visit. He will find . stall after stall, from twenty to thirty feet wide, exteading several blocks, and packed with flowering plants, brought there for sale by propagat- ors from the suburbs of the city. -In the vicinity of this flower market are hundreds of carts—hand, dog, donkey and horse—the owners of each busily engaged in loading up plants purchased that morning, and as each finishes loading, he starts off to supply his customers in the differ- eht parts of the city. Each of these venders has his regular route, which he serves with flowers every other day all through the Seaeon, and giv- ing notice of his presence by shout- ing Flowers!The supply in the windows is kepi; renewed by remov- ing a plant as soon as it shows any signs of failing, and another one is put in its place. This is done early in the morning, and, therefore, to the late risers the plants have a per- ennial freshness and vigor.i The vender takes back the empty pots • at a frxed price, ad transfers them to the propagator in turn. is Only comparatively few varieties of plantg are propagated for this trade, but of these millions are sold annually, and at very .low rates when compared with prices for the same size and quality of plants offer- ed for sale by American florists. For instance, a fuchsia, twelve to eighteen inches in height and well furnished, is worth in London imer- let sixpence, or twelve cents of Am- erican money; for a plant of the same size; an American florist would charge at lvst four tittles as much. The varieties 11l0fet generally Used for window decorating are fuchsias, ealceolarias, gel aniume, d warf nas- turtiums, mignonette, verbenas,lo- belias and balsams. Some one or alt of these may be found in all the windows. of dwelling -houses in Lon- don and suburbs, while in the win- dows of the aristocratic residences &- larger collection ma.y be seen, with usually the aildition of a climbing vine or two. These floral embellish- ments certainly add Much to the at- tractions of a walk or drive. Saving Beets for Eieed, To secure beet seed which we know to tie fresh and true to name is art important point to begin with.. It is vexatious to find too late that the seed is old and COMES up poorly,' and When it does come, gives a mix- ed and undesirable product. °elfing our attention to a large field of yef low mangolds a friend said : '1 bouglif the seed for Whitt Sugar and you see what the crop is.' Even responsible and careful • seedsmen c,innot a/Ways guard:us against such consequences. They are dependent more or less uponthe growees froai whom they 'purchase. Clearly he farmer must take . the matter into his own hands. Especially in this wise where roots- are grown by the acre. It is an easy matter when gathering the crop to select and throw to one side a few bushels of the best shaped and finest sPecirriens. These may be kept in a corner of the cellar, or in a pit by themselves out of doors, and in the Spring be set out in rows for seed. Besides insuring_ the advantages named this will save quite a snug sum at the outset. - HOW Easily Butter is Spoiled A farmer's wife writes to an ex - :change : " Of all the products of the farm, the butter is the most . liable to be tainted by noxious vit- pors floating in the atmosphere. Our people had lain some veal in the cellar, from which a little blood fIow- ed out and was neglected until it had ,commenced ,to smell. The result was* that *jar of butter which I was then packing smelled and tasted like 4ipoiled beer." Another lady. reeder .observed that "there was Eli pond of filthy, stagnant water a fy t hundred feet from the. house - from which all offenhive eatiVium wortIcI be borne on. the breeze directly to the milk- -mem, when. the 'wind was - in a cer- tain direction, the result of *ir hieh WA'S that the areinti and butter would tette like the disagreeable odor corning from the pond. As soon as tl'ie pond was drained, We bact emenCre damaged butter. The Biggest Brewery in. the World.. 1 The largest brewery in the world is that of Barclay, licrkins & CO., London, England: They use annu- ally 18,000 bale i of .hops, and make over 1,000,000 barrels of ale. Their place' covers twelvo acres isa, the heart of London, for which they re- cently refused the sum of $20,000,- 000, ar $1,750,000 per acre Bar- clay, Perkins t.h . Co.,. use 9,000 -point& of hales *and 12,500 pounds of Allah daily. They make 1,750 barrels of beer at a brewing.Their porter is stored in 172 large tuns, eachholding from 1,500 to 3,000 barrels Talk about big batrels ! Why they have "seven ;sisters," which . hold 2,300. barrels each ; they are fifty feet high an1 thirty feet in diameter. Their draught horses are the marvels of all London. They he ve 162 of the splendid 19 *hand hrse, worth $7,000 a piece. They arje so heavy that they wear out an i ch thick horse shge every two weeks. e I French) Emigrants to (*nada. The emigration of the inhabitants of Alsace and Lorraine to Canada, the United' States, South Ainaerica, and Australia has largely increased since the commencement of the sum- mer. To the great disappointment of the French Government, these countries.and colonies have ipirove far more attractive tn the . people of the annexed provinces, eager to es- cape- being Germanized, than France's own colony of Algeria. In fact, the emigration thither hies been almost a. nullity. The emigrante have met iviqi a very hospitable and cordial reception in Canada. A numerous body of Lorrainers and Alsatians have settled near the small town of Beaufort, in Lower Canada. , There were 'farms ready for them, of which they were able at once to take possession, theground being cleared and fit for immediate cultivation. The sympathy manifest- ed teward them by the -people in the -district was also very marked. There were schools to which they could spud their children, and every provision for their religious needs. All the French emigrants were visi- ted by the Catholic Bishop of Que- bec, and welcomed by their co -reli- gionists as brethren.—.. -Pal Mall Gazette.
