You will find in the florist's cata- logues bewildering descriptions of gor- geous novelties and Promises of a wealth of bloom before unknown from some new variety of flower. I would advise—especially if your garden space is small and. your means limited—that you shun these alluring dainties. To one who has devoted a lifetime to horticulture, these novelties may prove of value, but when there are so many tried and true friends in the floral family who will put forth their best efforts for one who has but little know- ledge of their habits and. needs—those that will bloom if given the slightest encouragement—it is best for the be- ginner to try the easy ones first. If you desire an early display of flow - es and a constant succession of bloom far into the late autumn, begin pre- parations at once. There are many flowers which can be started in the house in boxes or flow- er pots, clueing Mareb, thereby enab- ling them to reach an advanced. stage of development by the time they can be bedded out in May. Other flowers of easy culture grow best when the seed is sown where they are to bloom. I shall name and deecribe some of the more common and popular varieties, giving seasonable hints as to their cul- ture and care which will enable all to meet with success in the garden. The Soil.—Seeds planted out of doors —that is, those of the more common varieties of flowers—will do well if planted in any fairly -rich garden soil, but when raised in the house more care must be taken in preparation. Mix well together some ordinary gar- den soil and a small quantity of fer- tilizer (sheep manure is the best for this purpose and can be obtained from any florist), and add to this prepara- tion a quantity of fine sand—very lit- tle if the soil is already porous, but about one-third if hard and clayey. Sift and pulverize this mixture to remove all lumps. It is also well to bake it, to kill all animal life and seeds of weeds. The more oaxe used. in doing this the better success will attend your efforts. PAIN -KILLER THE GREAT Family Medicine of the Age.

Some flower pots or small boxes should be filled to within about one inch of the top with this prepared soil. Then you are ready to plant your seeds. Be careful not to plant them too deep. Very fine seeds should be mere- ly sprinkled on the surface. Larger seeds should be planted somewhat deeper, but none of the ordinary sorts should be planted at a greater depth than one inch. Sow in rows and label each with name. Water sparingly. Keep the soil moist, but not wet, Wet soil and poor ventilation will cause the seeds to rot. Asters.—These beautiful and favorite flowers bloom in the late summer when planted in the open ground. When the seeds are started in the house in March you gain several weeks' time in the season of bloom, and can have a beau- tiful mass of flowers long before the aster beds a yam' neighbors, who A FEW DONT'S. Don't crowd your seede. Plant them one at a time if large enough to han- dle individually, and you will get twice as many seedlings. Don't forget to spray your seed boxes regularly. Lack of care in watering is .rtroductive of more failures in flower raising than any other one cause. Don't plant two kinds of seed. in one box unless their habits and time of germination are the same. Growing planters require more water than ger- minating seeds. Don't fail to label your seed boxee and to indicate where the rows are planted, so that you will know whether weeds or flowers are coming up. Don't lel the temperature get be- low, forte degrees in the room where you keep your seed boxes. Seeds grow best in a room in which the ate mosphere is kept moist and at an even temperature of about seventy degrees. Don't place your seed boxes in the direct sunlight until the seeds bavet sprouted. Keep them in a light situa- tion, however. Heat is more essential than light to seeds; light is essential to the development of plentlets.

A Terrible Record From iiodniezoe, Hun- gary — Confession. of Crime - Arsenic Pelsoninx a Cot llllll Mite! ice, A despatch from London says ;.-The poisoning trial which still continues at flodmezoe, Hungary, has developed in- to the greatest criminal revelation of modern times. It is .beginning to ap- pear that murder by poison is a family custom in that part of Hungary. The victims .are numbered almost by hun- dreds. Most of the waned persons denied everything at first, but when the woman Csordas was driven into a cern.er, and, seeing that she could. not escape, began to reveal fresh facts and to inculpate the accused. midwife eager, the latter not only made a lull confession, but also referred to cases which had not even been suspected. She gave names and facts in such de- tail that the court was bound to order fresh arrests, aria the exhumation of twelve more bodies. The number has increased still fur- ther, as all the accused. are now vying with each other in making startling revelations. A pork butcher named Horvath, nicknamed the Evangelist because of his habit of quoting Scrip- ture, now stands accused of having poisoned his mother, father, parents- onlaw, and finally his wife. The wo- man Csordas owns to having poisoned her sister and niece, in addition to the mimes of which she was originally ac- cused. She also informed the court , that the midwife Jager procured the poison from a chemist's assistant, whose arrest has been ordered. A correspondent says there is not a house in Hoamezoe in which suspicion does not exist that deaths dating back several years are the result of foul play, and family ties in the town are being broken right and left.

This plant tbrives best in a sandy soil. The seeds are quite slow, to germinate, requiring generally two weeks. Balsam.—This plant, the old-fashioned lady's slipper has been much improv- ed by hybridization in late years, and the many beautiful colors and perfec- tion of development have made it one of the most desirable flowers for ama- teurs to cultivate. The seed is quite large and should be sown to a depth of about one inch. The seed usually germinates in eight days. Cosmos—This flower is the queen oil the garden at a time when nearly all others have departed. in late autumn may be brought into bloom several weeks earlier than its accustomed time by getting an early start with your seeds in the house. These seeds ger- minate in about one week. Dahlia—For many years it was popularly supposed that this popular flower could be raised only from the tuber. This is a, mistaken idea, how- ever, as the seeds germinate quite eas- ily, and the many beautiful banana, of the single varieties especially, will repay any one for the little trouble taken to grow the seedings. Seeds germinate in ten days usually. Petunia. --The seeds of this flower are very fine,. and great pare must be tak- en in their sowing far successful re - suite.

In going aboult the country on every Lend. one sees orchards ha.v- ing every indication that the owner expected that all he had to dowee to plant the tree, and after that it should care tot itself, and supply him bounti- fully with fruit. The result catises the owner to affirm, that orobarding is a failure. The majority of the owners of these ne,gleeted orchards would not think of planting any other crop and. leave it to care for itself, and why should they expect it of the fruit? No business of any description can run it- self and pay a dividend. We will assume in the first place that aosi orchard 1151.9 been properly planted out in suits.bleosoil which has been well fitted in every respect. Every de- tail about the care of it should he cone ducted in such a, manner as to incur the least eXpentie and at the same time have everything done well. Therefore we would use euribi implements as will ea the work rapidly and leave the ground as nearly level as possible, and with the surface well pulverized, for the better condition the soil is in the better it will endure dry weather, and the more readily will the fibrous roots of the tree, take up and assimilate whatever of plant food there is Mine soil. The cultivation should be as shallow as possible and do not use the plow except When necessary .for turn-, hag under 'some crop for green manure. We like to have a good cultivation once a. week to ten day.s from the time the soil is fit condition to be work- ed in the spring until the middle of Jelly or August. Then the trees should be given an opportunity to ripen their wood. and at buds for another season of fruitage. An orcherd if cultivated too late in the season. especially if the weather be moist. during the autumn will have tender branches which will be liable to be damaged by severe win- ter weather. The object of cultivation is not so much for keeping down weeds as to keep the surface fine to serve as ma oraisutluehre.for retaining and. attracting One who cultivates an orchard should, be a careful marl for no tree can, be bruised. in root or branch with- out injury. Of course Mei team should be a steady one. If one expects to re- ceive large crops of fine fruit he must not neglect to fertilize well for no one must expect to receive something for netlaing. No crop responds batter to good fertilization than one of fruit, and the better the orchard is fed the better will be the quality and larger the quantity of the fruit. It has Inert shown by experiment that in the fruit of the apple tree there is three times as much potash as nitrogen and more than four times as much as phos- phoric acid, am]. that the quantity of nitrogen in the leaves is nearly double the quantity of potash and. three times as great as the phosphoric acid, there- fore potash and nitrogen must be sup- plied in abundance. We sometimes prefer to supply the Wash in the form of kale& because it is destructive to insects and. grubs in the soil, but the amount used should be two to four times as much as in the form of muri- ate or sulphate. Potash adds to the firmness, flavor and appearance of the fruit and for an orchard in full bearing 1,000 pounds per acre of muriate or sulphate can be used with profit and half that amount of phosphoric acid as the latter adds color to the fruit. Nitrogen is essential to the foliage of the fruit tree and must be supplied in some way. The cheeped way of sup- plying the nitrogen is by plowing under some green crop like crimson clover or cow peen If the nitrogen is net furnished in this way perhaps ni- trate of soda. is the next cheapest form. We consider Et economy to use crimson clover and in some sections it would be found beneficial to sow three pecks of oats to the acre with the clover thus giviog, a clover crop -which will be a protection to the roots against freezing and thawing during the win- ter and early spring. The value of 'clover tops for nitrogen, is found to be over $10 per acre and the roots ion NAVAJO MOTHERS-IN-LAW. Mothers-in-law will be interested in some of the manners and customs of the customs of the Navajo Indians. There a man cannot under any einem- etences speak to or even look upon his mother-in-law. Should his eye rest upon her even for a moment the superstitition is that he will by accident become blind. It seems im- possible that such an idea should be actually held by a large number of people. The law must be broken re- peatedly by accident without the pay- ment of the penalty. Yet the idea is current to -day, and is in full force and effect, exercising an appreciable influence on the social conditions of the people. The mother has no direct interest in her daughter's marriage, but the interest arising from maternal love might often complicate or even make impossible the usual procedure. So the mother-in-law taboo began and gradually grew into a fixed custom or law. What harm meld an irate mo- ther-in-law do if she were absolutely prohibited from speaking to her daugh- ter's husband? And on the other hand, what show would a man have if left unprotected to the mercy of three or' four mothers-in-law, for poly- gamy is commonly practised in the tribe? Some such law is an actual ne- cessity in primitive societies. The complications brought about by this peculiar condition are many and various. An accidental meeting, for ex- ample, is very awkward to both. If other Indians are present, frantic Warn - lug to hide himself are shouted to the man, and if he is on horseback he will strike out as if for his life. The woman is warned and threatened, and, if pos- sible, hurried off and concealed behind a, rock or bush.

If one wishes to use e mixed fertilizer let one be used con- taining 10 to 12 per oent, of potath, seven to nine phosphoric acid and two to three of nitrogen varying the amount per acre according to the age and condition of the trees. Pruning should be carefully at- tended to from the time alla orchard is planted. If an orchard has been planted as we would do it, cutting back the entire top leavingnot over i two to two and one-half feet n case of the peace and four to five in case of the pear or apple, then the trunk's of the trees will early send out new shoots of which all unnecessary ones should be rubbed off while so tender that no injury will be done, and the tree will give its entire strength to the remaining ones. We prefer to not leave more than three to five shoots to form the head of the trees. Some object to summer pruning but we ‚be- lievei in and practise t. The tree should be carefully watched and whenever a shoot starts where it is not wanted it should be removed by pLnch- ing off with thumb and finger, so that in wound of consequence will be made, and no seekers will start as from e larger wound. We dislike to remove a laranrh of much size as ilt gives toe great a shock to the tree, but there are cases when it canl be avoided as in fire blight or accidental breaking. When fire blight, occurs we would cut belew the blight to sound wood, cover the wound with wan or paint and remove and burn the affected branches.

Sir rune Curries Prolest—oineials Dia - missed and Ordered to be Tried—The Patriarch Resigns. A despatch from Constantinople says: —Further and probably more accurate details of the recent massacre of Ar- menians at Token in the Sivas district of Anatolia, have been received at the Armenian Patriarchate here. The first report of the affair was issued by the Governmere. This declared that fifteen Annenions and three Mus- sulmaaals had been killed. Little re- liance was placed in the report, for the officials have always made it a rule to under -state the aumber of persons killed in the various massacres. Later information was reeeived at the Em- bassies showing thi;e. fully 100 defence- less Armenians bad fallen victims to the fury of the etheenes at Tokat, and this number, it wee thought, was pro- bably correct., The news received at the Patriarchate slows that both state- ments were incorrect, and that the number of victims was fully 700. It was stated. at the Patriarchate that these figures were obtained from re- liable persona in Tokat and the vicin- ity, awl that the number of victims stated is without doubt correct. Sir Philip Currie, the British Ambassador, made a most vigorous proiest against the massacre in a note to the Porte, which was said, to have been the strong- est ever delivered by an Ambassador to the Turkish eovernineeut. The re- sult of his action was shown, when the Sultan orcleree the dismissal and immediate arrest of the Turkish offi- cials in Tokat who are suspected of complicity in the Imassacre and the appointment of a special commission to try them. It is believed that the British. Ambassador will watch the trial Closele to see that it does not prove a farce, as se many trials of Moslem officials charged with the mur- ders of Christiane have been.

AT THE LATEST JUGGLING FEAT OF AN INDIAN FAKIR. 04.44444, The Mango Tree Growing Trick is Easily Outdone by the Pyoduction of a Bicycle From Nowhere—The Performer Shows the Simplicity of the Deception to the Spectators. Arrayed in a gown of spotless white, his coal -black hair covered by a snow's' turban with many folds, an Indian juggler who calls himself the Nawab of Tellalaad has been startling the people of Paris nightly with a mar- velous trick, and then poking fun at them with his explanation of how, sim- ple it is to do. Not so simple a trick, perhaps, to the unekilled, for it is no- thing less than the production of bicycle from beneath that flowing cloak, where the greatest doubters in all the audience would have sworn no bicycle could have been concealed. There is something about this ex- ceedingly clever man which makes one respeot him instanter. After a mag- nificent bow comes the wonder. Not only, he says, will he cause a bicycle to appear, but will also ride upon it, and thea demonetrate the fact that it is tio imaginary or "property" ma- chine. Inasmhch as it is manifestly impos- sible to carry a bicycle in one's pocket err under the arm without being seen the onlookers puzzle their brains in vain to discover how on earth this seemingly remarkable man is going to carry oat the promise be has made. They are not, long indiscovering that he means to perform exactly what he has promised.. Suddenly Ithere is thrown to him by his assistant a large sheet of ordinary melanin folded. He unfolds this titian in full view, and then, bowing politely to those who are watching him, flings it over himself and disappears beneath THE MUSLIN CLOUD. The cloth undulates like the tall grass on a rolling prairie when the wind is blowing in stiffish fashion. All at once the muslin shows the distinct outlines of a wheel, "Why, the man is really going to do it," is heard on all sides. The cloth moves more violently. A elicit, click soands clear and distinct from ender the muslin. Suddenly it rises, as it impelled by a dozen hands, and almost simultaneously with that rising there darts from beneath it the figure of the juggler riding a silver mounted wheel upon which he makes the circuit of the stage seven times. And now for the explanation. In a word, the secret is that the bicycle, all in pieces, is hung about his body beneath the cloak. To begin with, the robber tires are allowed. to empty themselves of air and are coiled about the man's waist. Each of the spokes folds in three pieces, and. thus condensed about the hub of the wheel, the whole hangs down toward the man's heels like the pendulum of a clock. Aluminum is the metal of which the wheel and the rest of the machine is censtracted, as largely as possible, and, of course, this makes- the hub and spokes much lighter than would otherwise be the case. The handle bars are fastened about the waist. The frame of the machine is in five pieces, but fits togethex with snap locks that make it as firm as if it were all cast in one piece. The chain is woiuncl around his legs and the sprockets are attached to the same limb. The saddle is carried over his breast. As this is divided so that it spreads out it enables the juggler to wear it without danger of having the presence thereof revealed. With all this upon him, weighing, perhaps, altogether 18 pounds, the jug- gler has appeared before those who have came to see the wonder he has promised. The feeds of his cloak so thoroughly conceal the dismantled bike - that there is not the slightest evidence of its presence. The usual explanation is made, and then comes the envelop- 1 ing with the sheet. Instantly the sheet covers him, the juggler loosens from about him the sections of the bicycle that make a complete whole. First of all, he arranges the frame. Then the two wheels are quickly turned into proper shape. Following this he. blows the air into the rubber tires and adjusts them. Then comes the gear- ing, the edjustment of ;saddle and handle bars, and lo ! the wheel is com- plete and treacly for use. Then the juggler exterously flings the sheet front him, and. at the same moment mounts the wheel. The rest has been told. arch, has made a protest to the Sultan against the murders at Tokat, and has added emcee) his protest by insisting that the Sultan, shall accept his resig- nation, which was tendered some time ago. At that time the Sultan refused to accept it, and. promised the Patri- arch that further concessions would be made to the Ainienians. His Majesty asked, however, that the granting of these concessions be deferred. until af- ter Easter. The massacre of Tokat followed. Bight Armenians were arrested here on Tlauxeday as a measure of precau- tion the Government fearing that the news of the Tokat massacre might pre- cipitate an outbreak. The prisoners are suspected of -having been engaged in -an attempt to make a demonstration here. FRESH FIELDS. Jackettu see= M enjoy meeting new people.
