FAKM, IHHDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. I.nycrlnu IIomcm. A London authority gives tho follow ing modo of pioceduro in layering roses: About tho mlddlo of July, in most seasons, tho shoots will bo found about eighteen lnchos or two feet in lougth; from those, two-thirds of their length, tho loaves should bo cut off loso to tho shoot, beginning at tho baso, with a very sharp knifo; tho shoot must then bo brought to tho ground, so as to bo ablo to judgo in what placo tho hole must bo mado to recolvo it. This may bo mado largo onough to hold a quarter of a peck of compost; in heavy and retentlvo soils this should bo rotton dune and pit sand in equal quantities -well mixed. Tho shoot must thon bo "toneucd": i. o., thoknlfn introduced just below a bud and brought upwards, so as to cut about halt way througii This must bo dono at tho sldo or back of tho shoot (not by any moans at -thn front or in tho bend), so that tho tonguo does not closo To mako this certain a small pleco of glass or thlnoarthcnwaro may bo intto- -dnced to keep It open. Much nicoty is Tcqulrod to havo tho tonguo at tho up per part of tho shoot, so as not to bo in tho part which forms tho bow, as it is of consequenco that It should bo within two inches of tho surfaco, so as to fool tho effects of tho atmospheric heat; uu less this is attonded to tho roots will not bo omitted quickly. Tho tonguod pari must bo placed in tho center of tho compost, and a modorato-sizod stono put on thosurfacool thoground tokcop tho laver In its place. Tho first wcok In November tho layers must bo taken from tho parent root, and cither potted as required or planted out whero thoy arc to remain. Thoso shoots not long enough in July and August, may bo layered in October, when tho layers aro taken from tho stools; and If any aro forgotten, February and Maroh will bo tho most favorablo months for tho op eration. As a goneral rulo July is tho most proper season. Water for llabicn. I was ono day called upon to visit a sick little ono In a family residing near my ofllco. Tho babo I found in appar ent good health, but crying and Strugs gllnginits mother's arras as though suffering from excruciating pains. The mothor informed mo that tho child seemed desirous of nursing con tlnuallv: and that to quiet it, sho had given it tho breast as ofton as tho cry ine commenced. When that did not aootho tho little one, a doso of Mother Somebody's cordial had boon admtnis torcd. 'My good woman, "I inquired, "when lid you last glvo your babo a drink of water P" "I don' t remember," replied the lady; 4,I seldom lot him drink wator. Does ionccd It?" "Need UP Why should ho not need it as much us youP This child is suffer ing from thirst nothing moro." I called for cold water, gave tho in fant a few tablospoonfuls, and it was Tolievcd of all Its trouble, stopped cry ing, and sank peacefully to sloop in its mother's arms. Lot this bo a reminder to mothers and nurses. Inlants who nurso at tho broast may often suffer as much from want of water as adults who cnt moro solid food. Often when a child cries it is only thirst which causes It. Do not then, doso It with tho poison ous "soothing syrups" or nursing cor dials, or press it to tho breast, which it will eagerly grasp, expecting to satisfy Its burning thirst; but, filled to tho brim with Its natural food, it cries on harder than over. Uso a llttlo discretion. Tho poor little ono cannot toll its wants; if it could, it would ofton cry, 'Water! wa terl' Rouen. To ralso roses In perfection, it is need iul to feod them well and placo them in tho full sunlight, and not whero thoy will bo shaded by trees or shrubs. Af ter thoy havo bloomed pruno them closely, ano also when thoy comraonco to leaf in thl early spring. 0Tho beds in whioh the! aro planted mustbe-mado very rlchalj woVld'nposed com post, dug xo tho depth (A 'at least two ieot. In making a roso bed, it is a good plan to take off tho soil for two or threo feet in depth and fill tho cavity with good orduro well rottod. Then add lx lnohes or a foot of very rich soil With a mixturo of sand. Aftor3tho plants aro sot, mulch them with long litter from tho stable Tkls will keep tho roots moist and cool during tho heated term, and mako a hoaltby growth ol branches and flowors. After tho Juno flowering has passed, all monthly rcscs should bo sovorely pruned and tho now growth cut back ' two or moro inches; also tha old branches should bo cut away. Tho honisomest flowors always spring from froth gremth from tho rooU: and to mako theio start vigorously tho knlfo must bo lrcoly ueotl. For n Tow weeks, your pots may socm shorn of their glory, but soon thoy will renew their boauty and giro you plenty ot flower;, whllo, it you permit tho seed-buds to form, it will stop tho blossoming in a groat degree Theroloro, as each roso fades, cut it off, or, hotter yot, cut it while in its bloom. From tho branches which aro pruned now plants can bo raised. As a rulo, all cuttings should bo token off just below a bud or joint; and thoy should bo so looted iron) young growth rathor than from old whero tho bark has becomo hardened. Try to snap tho branch, if it bonds without breaking it is too old to grow easily; but If it snaps off at onco it is in tho right condition tc strike root quickly.

Warmth, an oven tomporaturo, and moisture, aro essential for root growth. It will tftko from threo to four wooks to dovolop tho roots, nnd then tho plants can bo placed in rich soli with a llttlo sand to lighten It, nnd soon thoy will bo good, stocky plants. iiipruTluK tlio IrlU l'olato. A solect committeo of scientific agri culturists, under tho appointment of Parliament, charged with tho duty ol investigating that valuable esculent, tho potato, havo mado their report. The London Times says: Tho report con sists of forty-two paragraphs. It be gins by stating that tho ovldenco of tho scientific witnesses had clearly estab lished tho nature of tho potato disease, which, according to them, consists in tho growth of tho fungus on or in tho plant. Tho diseaso spread during thu summer by means of spores in seeds, a slnglo fungus producing millions ol spores. Tho almost Inconcolvnblo fo cundity of tho spores accounts for thu rapid spread ol tho dtsoaso during sum mer. Tho scientific witnesses concurred in boliovlng that burning tho stalks ami gotllng rid of tho diseased potatoes would bo useful. Tho necessity for tho production of now varieties was con curred in by all tho witnesses. The growers agreed that within their expe rience many varieties of potatoes had disappeared, having becomo utterly worn out. Four to six years aro ro quired to establish a varioty, and then it steadily improved in flavor by cultiva tion; but then, after a certain time, any comparative Immunity from diseaso dis appears. With good cultivation, a now varioty would notdegonerato for twenty yoars. Tho Champion potato was rc- markablo for its diseaso resisting pow ors, but it must bo expected to succumb in Its turn. In tho closing paragraphs of tho roport tho committeo mako vari ous suggestions, as already given In tho Times. Alter stating all tho facts gleaned in tho inquiry, tho roport goes on: "Under thoso circumstances, it would appear that tho soaich for now varioties must bo undertaken oithor by tho com bined cnlorpriso of tho larger potato growers, working through such socie ties as the royal agricultural socloties of England and Ireland and tho High land society, or by tho government. As up to tho present llttlo has been af fected by thn former plan, it would seem to bo timo for tho govornmont to lend assistance Your committeo aro of opinion that experimental farms for tho creation and establishment of now va rieties of tho potato Bhould bo estab lished In England, Scotland and Ire land. Whethor tlicsu farms should bo placed under direct govornmont control is a point which might with ndvantago bo dotormlncd differently in tho diner out countries. In Ireland thu bjst plan would probably bo to extend tho exist ing farms ol the agricultural depart ment of tho national board, nnd to spe cifically direct tho attention of tho su perintendent of theso farms to re searches on tho potato diseaso, and to tho creation, selection and establish ment of now varieties of tho potato. In England and Scotland it might bo advisable to consult with tho leading agricultural sociotles as to whother . subsidized they would undertako tho necessary work, subject to government inspection and control. Should these societies decline tho task, your commit teo nro distinctly of opinion (hat tho government should appoint in onoh county a superintendent who should' conduct tho necessary experiments and who should endeavor to furnish now and successive disease-resisting varieties of potatoes. Whether n pormauont farm or farms should bo selected lor tho cul tivation of tho now varieties ol tho po tato, whether arrangements should bo entered Into with farmers and privato producors of now varioties, and as to whothor laud should bo temporarily hired for tho various purposes In tho dlf - ferent parts of tho kingdom, nro points of dotuil which might safely bo left to tho superintendent to determino." Tlic Cure of Clothing-. Concerning tho fashion of clothing nnd tto various fabrlos of whlsh it is mado, information is full and frequent. Very llttlo, howovor, is said about tho caro of clothing, and tho ways in whioh It may bo preserved for tho longost tlmo and In (ho best possible condition. To thoso who chango their garments with ovory chango of stylo this is a mat ter of slight importance, but to thoso who purcbaso a silk dress or a broad oloth suit only onco in a sorios of years it Is a matter of intorost and valuo. Silks, cashmeres, cloth i of standard stylo and quality, aro vory llttlo affoctod by tho various ourronU of fashion. Thoy hold tholr own through all tho years, and aro always good, always "ityllsh," always suitable. When now fabrics aro for tho hour of their popu larity high-priced, theso standard goods soli at tho standard price, and know llttlo of riso or fall in standard valuo. Neglect nnd carelessness doterlorato clothing n great deal fastor than steady wear docs. Tho housekeeper who, instead of changing her nlco dress when sho passes from tho street or tho church to her kitchen, keeps it on and takes it with her through tho various processes of dlsh-wushlng, swcoplng nnd cooking will soon rob it of nil its nicety, whllo sho who wears her One clothes only In plaocs whero fine clothes aro sultablo may keep them in good con dition for nn Indefinite time. To dress nccordlng to ouo's work is good taste, good sense and economy. Tho careful person will tako pains to proscrvon now calico no loss than a now silk. Wo know a young lady onco who put on a nlco now calico which alio had taken great pains to mako and woro It through tho morning dow to milk tho cows. To keep her arms from being soiled or tanned by tho sun, sho declined to turn up tho sleovcs of tun arcs?, in two days tho nlco now cnllco looked llko tho rest of her dresses, dowdy, slatternly, unclean. Wo know another young lady who had silk dresses nul not ono ol them was fit to wear, though nono ol them had been mado above a year. They wcro spotted, draggled, tumbled, mussed, nbuscd. Wo know another young lady who was tho fortunate pos sessor ol ono nice black alpaca dross which sho woro on all occnslons thu season through turn always appcartti faultlessly dressed. Sho hud no work to do that would especially soil her clothes. If a stray drop of anything that could mako a spot fell upon her dress It wns at onco removed. All dust was brushed oft', n spongo dlppod in ammonia water brightened faded places, and snowy collars nnd cuff suggested dainty habits of cleanliness. Tho caro of clothing to bo oasy must bo habitual. The hardest part is in forming tho habit, and this cannot too early in lilo bo formed. Most children lovo to mako mud pics, and play In the dirt generally, and glvo llttlo heed to keeping themselves clean. This Is all well enough at times, and thoy should bo Indulgod in their mud pies, provided thoy nro dressed for tho work. But it Is "poor folksy" in tho last degree to allow a child to play In tho dirt with nice clothes on, or to permit a young person to dress inappropriately whllo at work. It is vastly easier to change a good coat for a poor ono than It Is to rcstoro to Its pristino condition a soiled coat. It is vastly easier to put on a pair of ovornlls than It Is to spongo thorouiililv u pair of pantaloons. But tho worst of it is that thoso who neg' lect to clmngo tho coat and to put op tho overalls neglect, also, tho sponging and cleaning processes, and lot dust and spots remain A clothes-brush, a wisp brooiu.a bot- tlo of ammonia, a sponge, a hand brush, a cako of eraslvo soap, a vial of alcohol, should form a part of tho fur nishings of overy toilet. Aftor all dost has boon removed from clothing spots may bo taken out of black cloth with tho hand-brush dipped In a mixturo of equal parts of ammonia, alcohol and water. This will brichton as woll ns oloonse. Benzino Is usoful In remov Ing grcaso spots. The Coming Ulster. Detroit Free I'rcn. Tho ulster for tho coming summer speaks for itsolf on sight.

TI1K LOOM OF I.1TK. kbsn . mxronD. All day, all night, I can hear the Jar, Ot the loom of life near and afar, It thrills with Its deep and mufti jd sound, As the tireless wheels go always around, Baslly, ceaselessly goes the loom In the light of day and the midnight's gloom; The wheels are turning early and late, And the woof Is wound In tho warp of fate. Click, clack I there's a thread ot lovo wove In I Click, clack! and another ot wrong and sin; What a checkered thing will this life be, When we see It unrolled In eternity I Time, with a face llko a mystery, And bands as busy as hands can be, Bits at the loom with Its warp outspread, To catch In Us meshes each glancing thread When shall this wonderful web be docvt In a thousand years, perhaps, or one; Or to-morrow. Who Unowethl Not you nor I, Hut the wheels turn on, and tho shuttles fly. Ah, sail eyed weaver, the years aro slow. But each one Is ncareo the end, I know, And some day the last thread shall he wove In, And grant It be lore, Instead of (In. Arc we spinners of woof for this llfo web- say 1 Do we furnish tho weaver a thread each day) It were better then, oh, my friend, to spin A beautiful thread, than a throaj of sin. I10W WE CAUGHT HIM. Tho bnnklug houso of Shavowoll Brothers had been victimized by an ex tensive forgery so clearly planned and executed that, In dotcctivo circles, thcro was but ono opinion as to Us authorship. There was but ono hand skillful enough for such a pleco of work that of Dun ford Mnrwlck, a most accomplished rascal whoso craft and cunning had carried him through a long career of roguery In splto of tho best laid schemes to trap him. On tho occasion a heavy rowaril was offered for his apprehen sion. I had butlatoly been enroll d a mem ber of tho detective forco, and wns am bitious of rising. Heio was n golden opportunity golden In every senso, for whoever caught Marwlck would not only bo a mado man, but would put n round sum into his pocket. While others woro boating tho bush In different directions, f resolved to go on a stlll-huntof my own. I had infor mation that Marwick had a set of asso ciates in a placo about a hundred miles away, with whom, it was not unlikely, he had sought and found a hlding-plnco. At any rate, it could do no harm to mako a rcconnoisanco in tho neighbor hood. I took tho next train with a view to carrying out my plan. Securing a acat favorable for observation, I commenced glancing over tho morning paper and my fellow passongers. I had no par ticular expectation of finding nny oho answering to Marwlek's description nmong them still it was woll onough for ono in my placo to kcop his eyes open. It was not long, howovor, till my oo cupation was interrupted. A plain looking countryman, cntorinir from a forward car, asked and wns accorded permission to sharo my seat. Ho proved ono of thoso Irrepresslbly sociable fol lows who will mako your acquaintance in spito of you. Ho told mo his namo without waiting to bo asked it was Seth Wiggins, ho said nnd straightway inquired wha mine might be I didn't caro to tell him I wns do'toetlvo Tyko, so I meroly answered: "Smith." "Du toll!" returned Mr. Wiggins, looking as much surprised as if I had said Heliogabalus. Ho was evidently ono of thoso who think it propor to re ceive whatever you may say with a cor tain poljto astonishment. When Mr. Wiggins had oxhausted politics and tho "crap" and given mo a census of his live-stock, including Mrs. Wiggins and tho young ones, ho broach ed tho subject that was uppermost In my mind or would havo been but for his ctornal clatter. "That wns a nation smart trick that 'oro Marwlck played onto tho bank," ho remarked. I know very littlo about it," I ro plied. "No moro do I," said Mr. Wiggins; "only I loam he dono 'em outer a mint o' monoy." "i'vo understood ns much," I an swored. "I toll you, mister, you'vo got somo pesky cuto fellows down to York rale talented chaps as a countryman llko mo haint no business buekin' agin.

Wiggins gavo mo a gushing good-dn at tho noxt stopping-place, and left th train. Another hour brougl t us to a placo whero ten minutes wcro allowed for re freshments. Wo hnd hardl? stopped whon a boy camo hurrying through the car inquiring if Air. Tyko was aboard. "That's my namo," I answered. "Heroes a tologrnm for you." I toro It open as tho boy hurried, into tho noxt car as if to deliver another message Mine was this: "Marwlck is on tho train with you, and will got oil at . Ho wears a slouch hat and gray coat, is thick eet and bandy legged, nnd has a slight stoop in tho shoulders; also carries a black leather satchol. Arrest him on sight. Beakes." I bustled out, nnd tho vory first person I encountered tallied so exactly with the description in tho telegram ns to lcavo no doubt I hnd found my mnn. Ho mado no nttempt to flee, but ad vanced boldly, looking mo directly in tho face "You'romy prisonerl" I said, abrupt ly solzing his collar. "That's what 1 call cheeky!" ho re plied, pulling loose, and tackling mo; I rather think you'ro my prisonerl" A vigorous scufllo ensued. lor a timo neither of us went further than trying to tcop his hold on tho other. But my opponent lost his tcmpor nt last, and planted a blow of his right (1st directly over my right eye, I "counter ed" on his noso, "tapping tho claret" freely. Both called on tho bystanders for assistance; but thoy only formed a ring nnd exhorted us to "go it!" And wo wore "going It" lively, when a sharp voice brought us to an armis tice "Hcllot what's this?" inquired a kecn-oyed, jolly-faced man, In whom 1 recognized Captain Beaks, my chief, whoso namo was to tho telegram. "I I'vo got hlml" I said out ol breath. "I'vo I'vo got him!" pnnted my antagonist, qulto as much blown as my self. "Now who Is it that you'vo both got, pray?" queried .Uio captain looking puzzled. "Dunford Marwlckl" wo shouted si multaneously. I thought tho captain would -pllt his sides. "I havo your telegram to arrest tho scoundrel!" I said not n llttlo piqued at such lovity. "I have your ordor to nab tho villlau on sight," rejoined my adversary. An nctivo rcnowal of hostilities was imminent but tho captain stopped in bo tween us. "Hold on, Sleuth. Hold on, Tyko!" ho interposed. "Lot mo sco thoso mes sages." Two scrnps of paper wcro thrust into his hand. Tho captain laughed louder than over. "So you'vo each been telegraphed to arrest tho other!" ho said. "Who could havo played you such a trick?" Thon tho captain introduced mo to Dick Sleuth with whom I had already scraped a rathor Informal acquaintance as a brother dctcctivo from a neigh boring city. A fresh tologrnm was put into the captain's hand. "Hal this explains it!" ho exclaimed "Alarwiek has just been caught disguis od as a country man. It was doubtless ho who sent tho two telegrams. Ho must have smoked you both out on tho train. Diok nnd I shook hands, looked fool ish, aud hauled eff for ropairs. Where's Congress! "Whoro's congress? I'm looking for congress," said a tall, ono-oyod woman, peering through ono of tho doors of thu Houso of Representatives, tho other morning. "Is that fellow with a bald head congress?" "What do you want with Congress, anyhow?" domanded a deputy door keopor grullly. "Hold oul you can't go in thoro!" "I camo from Bucks county, Pa., to sco Congress, nnd if you'vo got it on draught anywhere around here, I want some. What's tho reason I can't go in thoro P" "Causo you can't.

Snlt Pork Three Times n Day. Tho following plain tnlk is from tho Sanitarian of Dr. A. N. Boll, Now York: Tho Herald reports: "A Now York journalist, who has for many years been nflllctcd with dyspepsia so that ho could not oat even thu most delicato fruits, recently visited Arizonn, and found thnt ho could cat fried salt pork threo times a day." Had ho tried tho same diet boforo going, possibly ho would havo fared quito as woll. Ho might havo re quired a fow trips to Conoy lslnnd or Long Beach and bnck, or a dally walk before dinner from Printing Houso Squnro to his up-town homo, to stimu late his appollto when ho would havo found tho samo good effects from fried salt pork in Now York ns in Arizona. By "fried salt pork" wo would bo un derstood as recommending It or somo other kind ol food containing a sufli clcnt amount of digcstiblo fat. Tho dlffercnco between salt pork and bacon, in this respect, if equally wolV prepared, is n matter ot tasto, and with cither ono properly cooked and woll-mado hot griddto cakes, dally, for broaklast, o urnnlists would rarely f.nd it necessa ry to seek n better climato than may bo found within easy access to Now York; or a diet which will hotter fortify them against tho common dnngors of city filth. Fried s It pork or bacon, to bo good, should bo first simmered or par boiled In a sufficient quantity of water to dissolve out tho excess of salt nnd to mako It tondcr, nnd then fried brown not to n crisp. For somo persons, a moro delicato way is, aftor parboiling tho moat, to turn tho slices in whoaton flour batter, and fry them "Delicate fruits" diet, particularly for breakfast, which ordinarily moans ab stinence from substantial fats, is tho death of many Journalists ns woll as other person?, whom journalists should tcaoh to know hotter. Restore tho old fashioned "hog and hominy" to its wanted place, and thoro would bo such a lalllng off in tho death rnto here abouts as would oven astonish tho keop or of tho streets so ruuch better would people bo ablo to withstand their vilo emanations. In short, editors should teach tho pcoplo in theso latitudes that, in ono way or ansther, overy full grown man or woman nnd evory youth requires nbout two ounces of somo kind of fat dally, as a portion of his or her diot, and if not taken as food, tho timo is hastened whon it has to bo ns medicine to simply prolong It may bo for a year or two a niisorablo oxistonco with con sumption or othor fatal diseaso In con senuonco "dyspopsla" an d boing commonly tho fltst admonitions. A journalist, or any othor person In this latitudo, who long neglects to tako a duo proportion of fatty food to maintain bodily tcmpernturo, will soon find him solf growing lean, his system will Ilvo upon its interstitial fat that whioh is distributed throughout tho bodily tis sues of hoalthy porsons and ho will shortly bogln to havo dyspoptlo symp toms, on account of tho deficiency in his food to maintain healthy nutrition. And for this condition, it is unfortu nately too often tho case, medicine or moonshino Is given in promotion of tho danger.
