Plant* that are likely to require
'ir»tori»g*ho«ld bam planted that
it ©ao be done properly. Flower
bade should* be high enough to
drain well, and yet be flat with a
little incline to the center. Small
«dmtbe and tree« should have the
ground flat around tlwuu, with
ridge a foot from the tiee to hold
the water,
When small plants are in a tow,
a drill may be made by the side, to
keep the water from Tanning away.
This drill should be filled with wa
ter. When the water is soaked in
fill the drill rçith dirt, so the moist
ure will not dry out quickly. If a
crust has formed on the ground,
break it tip with a hoe or rake be
fore watering, the water will soak
in better and do more good. Dur
ing a drouth a good drenching onoe
in two weeks, ie better than a
slight watering every day. Many
persons in a dry season shower
their plant* daily, thereby washing
the foliage and flowers free from
duct, who wonder why their plants
did not grow and flourish. They
»ever noticed that the amount of
water they put on scarcely damp
ened the earth, and of course the
roots were perfectly dry. To such
people I say, you wash your face
and hands this dry dusty weather,
bat does that prevent thirst Î Do
you not sometimes take a good big
drink of water? Now, that is the
way with your plants, it refreshes
to Wash the dust from their leaves,
but their roots are thirsty for a
good drink of water.
When they ask how much, I tell
them to saturate the earth for at
least a foot arouud each plant. A
plant two or more feet high wants
at least, three gallons at a time, and
will flourish if gi ven that amount
once in two or three weeks, when
it would droop, perhaps even die,
iff merely showered every day.
In watering pot plants remein-1
her that growing plants require
double the amount they would if
resting. Plants in small pots need
watering whenever the earth is
dry, even if it is twice a day, while
those in large pots will not need it
more than once in three or four
days. Another thing to remember
is that succulents and plants with
soft leaves and stems needs great
deal moTe water than those with
hard wood and smooth stiff leaves.

Gypsies.
The Gypsy loves the crescent,
moon, the evening star, the clatter
of the fern-owl, the beetle's hum.
He was born on the earth in a tent,
and he has lived like a species of
human wild animal ever since. Of
his own free will he will have noth
ing to do with rites or litanies; he
may perhaps be married in a place
of worship to make it legal, that
is all. At the end, were it not for
the law, be would for elioice be
buried beneath the "fire-place" of
their children's children. He will
not dance to the pipe ecclesiastic,
sound it who may—churchman,
dissenter, priest, or laic. Like the
trees, be is simply indifferent. All
the great wave of teaching and
text and tracts and missions, and
the produce of the printing press,
has made no impression upon his
race any more than upon the red
deer that roam in the forest be
hind his camp. The negroes have
their fettish, every nation its idols;
the Gypsy alone has none—not
even a superstitions observance;
they have m> idolatry of the past,
neither have they the exalted
thought of the present.—Richard
Jeffries, in Chambers' Journal.

The Richest foie red Woman
America.
The richest colored woman in
America is Mrs. Amanda Eubanks,
of Rome, Ga., who pays faxes on
S44JO,Ö0O worth of property, said
to have been inherited by will
from her white father. All over
the country colored women are
advancing themselves in all finan
cial, intellectual and moral ways.
In Philadelphia a colored woman
writes for the newspapers, and is
considered clever, and also con
ducts a special department in the
leading organ of the colored race
in this country. Miss Charlotte
Forten, now Mrs. Frank Grien ke,
has written for the Atlantic
Monthly. A colored woman is
lawyer in New York city, and in
other cities of the Nortli are to be
found many colored women phy
sicians. It is a little bit curions
to know that the first Sunday
school in New Xork city was
started by two colored women.

What the Mt.
:
j
Found—Incident in the His
tory of a Qnlet Community.
The Mount Lebanon (New
York) Shakers are a quiet com
munity, secluded front the fret
and worry of the outside world.
They are widely known, how
ever, for their strict honor and
probity in business.
The Shakers believe that nap
tat« has a remedy for every dis
ease. A few have been found—
the rest are as yet unknown.
Many were discovered by acci
dent Others came to light as
the result of patient experiment
and research.
Nervous Dyspepsia is a com
paratively new disease, growing
out of the conditions of modem
life. It is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa
rate ailments, and it was left
for the deai-sighted Shakers
to prove that the basis of this
terrible and often fatal compli
cation lies chiefly in the disord
ered and depraved functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus :—"If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre
tive organs to drive out of the
l>ody the poisonous waste mat
ters which remain after the life
giving elements of the food
have been absorbed, we shall
have conquered Nervous Dys
pepsia and Nervous Exhaust
ion. And they were right.
Knowing the infallible power
of Shaker Extract (Seigel's
Syrup) in less complicated
though similar diseases,
they resolved to test it fully
in this. To leave no ground
for doubt, they prescribed the
remedy in hundreds of cases
which had been pronounced in
curable—with perfect success
in every instance where their
directions as to living and diet
were scrupulously followed.
Nervous Dyspepsia and Ex
haustion is a peculiarly Ameri
can disease. To a greater or
less extent half the people of
this country suffer from it—
both sexes and all ages. In no
country in the world are there
so many insane asylums filled
to overflowing, all resulting
from this alarming disease. Its
leading symptoms are these:
Frequent or continual head
ache ; a dull pain at the base
of the brain ; bad breath ; nau
seous eructations; the rising
of sour and pungent fluids to
the throat ; a sense of oppress
ion and faintness at the pit of
the stomach ; flatulence ; wake
fulness and loss of sleep; dis
gust with food even when
weak from the need of it ; sticky
or slimy matter on the teeth or
in the mouth, especially on ris
ing in the morning; furred and
coated tongue; dull eyes; cold
hands and feet; constipation;
dry or rough skin ; inability to
fix the mind on any labor call
ing for continuous attention;
and oppressive and sad fore
bodings and feart
All this terrible group
Shaker Extract (Seigers
Syrup) removes by its pos
itive, powerful, direct yet
painless aud gentle action upon
the functions of digestion and
aasimilation. Those elements
of the food that build up and
strengthen the system are sent
upon their mission, while all
waste matters (the ashesof life's
fire) which unremoved, poison
and kill, are expelled from the
body through the bowels, kid
neys and skiu. The weak and
prostrated nerves are quieted,
toned and fed by the purified
blood. As the result, health,
with ite enjoyments, blessings
and power, returns to the suf
ferer who bad, perhaps, aband
oned all hope of ever
