Suggestions for the Season.
21 arch is the iirt spring month, and by this
time all the plans for the season's work should
to well matured. The firmer who plai.
little, often does but a small amount of the
w irk I hs t pa a t he I.et. I ! should be
fully aw are of the importance of 1 mg ready
for work when the time comes. In some parts
of the country then is a homely phrase, "Get
ting a good ready." It is not scholarly, bnt
xery expresshe," It really means making
throngli preparation, and in doing this there
will bo men to hire, -eds to proiide, implements
to buy, aud a general oerhauling and putting
in readlcesa of all the machinery of the form.
The matter of hired help U on important one,
and requires much thought. There is a great
difference in hired men ; they range all the way
from the thoughtful, conscientious man who is
as much Interested in the success of the farm as
if it was his own, to tho shift le, iuditferent,
and sometimes bad man, who cares for untiling
but his pay. and is not tit to hae a place on
anv farm, "especially if there are children in tho
farmer's household. This is a more important
matter than many suppose. Aside from the
danger to the morals of jonng people from im-
Iiroper language and acts, a man who is not
Liud to them has 110 husluens on a place where
there are children. One of lh lct workmen
we eer knew utterly iguored the children, tak
ing no more notice of them than if they were so
many stones. We are not aware that he was
etcr unkind to" them, but the little things soon
Itecauie afraid to go near him, and would run
away wbeneer he approached. We would not
hae such a man on the farm. Some men are
dear at any price, while others arc worth much
more than the wages that they aje paid. Be
tween these two extreme is the great ma of
farm laborers, and it requires more thau a pass
ing glance to engage the best men. The farmer
who will hepirticular enough to have only good
men about him, will also know that they mut
to treated as men. and from them he will re
ccie, in return, tho thoughtful wrvicesof men,
instead of the bare laW of their bauds.
The surface water should be let off from the
grain and other fields before the ground i en
tirely thawed. Alt drains refiir frequent in
spection, especially at this time, when the out
lets may I clogged by ire and snow. Cloer
may be" sown this month. A very even cast is
obtained by sowing upon a light tall of snow on
a still day. Jurrlratt Jgricuttvri'tfor Matich.

In brewing iwiltry, no matter whether they ,
are the high-price! thorough-bred stock or not,

and the proper wav to commence as well as car

at ordinary lowi-mcat prices, and not at tne
usual adtanced prices ohtaiued for fine, pure

no way in wuicii as mnch probt can ne made

prices which are not merely entirely satisfacto

are new to the business. As they are marketed
when about three months old, they hate cost
but little for food, and pay double and treble
the profit they would if kept until fall and then

The Trait Garden.
We trnst that many fruit rardens will be
stirted this spring. Select a warm piece of
ground contenieniiy near tne house lor gathering
the intita and protection zrom trespassers. Tbe
soil should le rich, deep, and mellow; in short,
a fruit garden should hate the best soil tbat can
be found. A list of the lest sorts of grapes,
raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, currants,
and gooseberries has been given in the Xotes for
last month, so that the selections might le
made early, and the desired plants ordered in
time to receive the best attention from the nur
serymen. The planting is to be done so soon as
the ground Is settled. Blackberries acd rasp
berries start very early, and it la best to set
them in the fall, but Ttry early in fpring will
do. The canea that grow this year will produce
the" fruit next season. Every farmer should
grow all the grapes the family requires, and for
this it is not necessary to have a large vineyard.
A fewyfne well kept In some nnt-of-the-war
place will bring large returns for care bestowed

THE BONES OF FAMOUS MEW.
Apropaer the Itonr ( William Penn.
The trusters of Jordan's burial ground decline
to pledge themseHea to a precise identification
of iVnnH tomb and remaius. Their reasons for
this hesitation will be fouud elsewhere in the
Muipleaud s'nMble letter in which they have
replied to the American application. The head
stouo which murks w hat is supposed to to Tenn's
grae was only placed In its positiou about
twenty )ear ago. Ilefore that time a rough
plan of thegraeyanl was the only aailable
chic to the actual spot where Penn and his fam
ily wen laid, and it U therefore more than
doubtful whether identification is even so much
as Mt.sihle. The trustees, with characteristic
caution, affect to regird the application as being
only a conditional proposal to remoe the re
mains of IVim, supposing that they "did exist."
IJut haiug tlearly shown that this reservation
is no mere subterfuge, but a real and fatal bar
to the enterprise, they proceed, in a manner
which will command the sympathy of all, to ex
plain their general objections to the proposal.
These object ions speak for themselves; they are
simple, terse, aud conclusive. There is little to
add to them, and lens to be aaid in reply. That
IVunwyhauia should desire to do honor to its
founder andepouinous hero is natural, right,
aud fittiug, aud there are many ways of doing
honor without disturbing the dead, and it is
hardly too much to adc that Pennsylvania should
endeavor to gratify Its own natural sentiment
without wounding the still more natural senti
ment of others.
Where the tree falls, there let it lie. This
is the true sentiment with which to regard the
resting-place of the illustrious dead. If the
principle hnolved in the proposal to tranHfer
iVnti's remains to America were once to find
general fat or, there is no saying what it might
lead to. The contest o er the birthplace of Ho
mer would to nothing to the struggles that
might ari4 out the mortal remains of the
world's undying heroes. lint for Shakespeare's
curse, who can say where his lones would now
be laid, and vtt who could really wish that his
resting place should bo other than that which
h chose himself, in the quiet church Inside the
Avouf Dante still sleeps at Kavenua, though
Florence jxim" Flortntia matfr qmiirii, as his
epithet bitterly calls her might almost lie ex
cused her passionate longing for his remains, if
i it were not for the sounder sentiment which for
bids the violation of his tomb. Columbus, after
I seeral migrations, lies buried in Havana, aud
, Spain might strive with America in the vulgar
1 contest for bis dust. There are, it is true, one
I1 or two notable iutnncrs which maka the other
way. Hut the scene lately enacted at Home is
hardly an eneonragement to those wlu would
traffic in dead men's Ixiues, nor can wo think:
that the traiirer of apuleun a remains frum St,
Helena to Paris wa, a precedent which healthy
"cniiiueni nouiu unve any strong uesire 10 ioi-
low. The gaudy anil rococo mausoleum at tb
Inalidcs, with its tricks of colored light and
darkened passages, is after all, but a poor ex-
to tne original resiing-piace t any man wuoni
the world lias reikoneit among its great ones.
In truth, the place where the great man Is first
laid is as much a part of his history as anything
else whieh concerns him. To take the remains
of Penn to America, there to bo laid uuder a pile
of modern luagni licence, would be simply to add
a monstrous falsehood to his real and gennine
history. He was an Knglishman, aud he rests
in English ground. He choso his resting-place
for bimelf, and there he I, surrounded by bis
two wives aud by five of his children. To di
vide those whom death has thus nnltnl, after
nearly two centuries of peaceful rest, would
sorely be little short of sacrilege. Moreover,
William Penn history really belongs to Eng
land, e en more than it does to America, lu
England he hved and died, and to what he did
and suffered in England In-longs whatever of
glory or of obloquy attaches to his name. It
was in England that the sect to which he so
ardently attached himself had its rise, and the
controerie in which he took so large a share,
were of wholly uathc growth. It was in Eng
land, too, that the great dispute as to the up
rightness of his character and the simplicity of
his motives arose a dispute which is said to
1 hate embittered the last days of Maeaulay.
ltn wnat justice can sueu a man be claimed
for PennsyHania, or even for America f If he
had died in America, and been buried there, no
doubt his remains would have been justly held
in boner, and no one would have grudged Penn
sylvania their possession. Hut Penn lies buried
in England, aud we can not doubt tbat the trner
f.mlity ot nisjrrate,
The whole earth is the sepulchre of famous
men, said the greatest of Athenian statesmen, ou
one of the most solemn occasions of Greek histo
ry. It is not their mortal remains that posteri
ty shonld care to honor, but the spirit and ex
aiupleof their Iites. Would auy single Ameri
can be the better because the doubtful remains
of William Penn, untimely snatched from the
qniet earth of Jordan's burial-ground, were "re
mot ed to a transatlantic home, amid the pomp
and circumstance of a State ceremonial," there
to rejio.se under a monumental pile snch as the
too magnificent aud not too refined taste of a
lVunltaniaii Legislature would to eertaiu to
prutidc. on the contrary, evert American
wonld lie the won for the violence done to the
natural and most wholesome sentiment which

Ash "Wednesday The Commencement of the
Lenten Season.
February 23d was Ash Wednesday, tbe com-
menccment of the I-enten season. To a very
lanre, respectable aud intelligent claa of our
citizens, the occasion is one of peculiar and aol-
nun interest. It cs.mes to them hallowed bytbo
traditions -.fall the ages, Krom "time whereof
the memort of man ruunethnottothecontrary,"
uh Wednesday aud its obsertancca have been
fJWj-ar throughout the civilized world. As
Christmas brings to the mind the Child cradled
in the lowly manger at Bethlehem, so Ash
Wednesday is typical of the "Man of Sorrow;"
so ManudaV Thursday is of the death of the Re
deemer of the world; so Easter Sunday is of the
Resurrection and the Life; so Ascension Day is
of the last act in the grandest drama the world
has ever seen. This day and the thirty-nine
that succeed it will all be days of Penitedtial
sorrow, deepening in intensity at the close of
Passion Week. They commemorate all the suf
ferings of the gentle Xazarene the cross and
passion, the agony and bloody sweat, tbe cruci
fixion, death aud burial. Is it wonderfnl that
these da) a should beobserted with reverential
sorrow by t hose who hat e leen familiar with the
sublime story of the God-Child from infancy t
Is it wonderful that this grand history should
have been the guiding star of vigorous manhood
and the solace of declining years, for so many
millions of .high and low, rich and poor, who
have drifted down the shadowy river into the
unknown sea in the centuries that have passed f

DISZA5Z OT ICE.
TDr. Vans!erpeta OpIaUn ttmf Grraaa Cam be

The question of disease in ice agitating the
metropolis, and doctors of all schools are giving
their opinion on the subject. Dr. S. O. Yander
poel, formerly of this city, publishes tbe follow
ing statement in the World: "lam rather unpre
pared to give an exact opinion on the matter
without inteatigation and study, out in a gen
eral way I have no doabt in my mind that dis
ease can be disseminated just as well by Ice as
by water. If I am not mistaken, some time ago
certain Ice formed from pond water near Boston
was suspected to bat e caused sickness, and when
the ice was examined it was found to contain
nnmliers of impurities. I do not believe that
freezing forces out foreign substances, and the
assertion that disease germs are expelled can not
be sustained, because these germs can not be
isolated so as to Iks examined microscopically. I
have no faith in freezing as a means of destroy
ing animal germs, and thii has I think been shown
in the case of a United States man-of-war, the
Plymouth, as well as I remember, which had
become infected with yellow fever in the tropics,
and waa aent down to New Hampshire and left
open through an entire winter in order to kill
the poison by freezing. Bat the result was that
as soon as the vessel went back to a warm cli
mate the fever germs resumed their suspended
totality, and the disease broke out fresh. This
instance is not an isolated one; the same thing
baa frequently occurred. I think a distinction
should be drawn between miasma and malaria.
Tbe first properly belongs to animal germs aud
the other to vegetable. Now these animal germs
are effectually destroyed and eradicated when
exposed to the air, and Is the reason why in riv
ers or large lakes where no sewerage enters the
water the ice from it mav be nsed with impuni
ty. I know it Is claimed that tho water supply
of Jersey City is pure, being drawn from the
Passaic River at a distance from tbe nearest city,
bnt I donbt if tbat would be the case if it were
taken near the abode of a large community. I
certainly should not think of disinfecting a
vessel by cold, and I do not tbat the forma
tion of ice in rivers can purify tbe water any
mure thau freezing wonld punfy the man-of-war

The Way to Flan a Dwelling-House.
I have a friend who wants a small and conve
nient dwejling-house, something that can be
erected for abont ?1,(U0. Neither he nor hU wife
had any definite ideas as to planning what they
thought would suit them. His wife is an excel
lent housekeeper, who proposes to do her own
work. Weil, 1 took a seat between them, and
said: "Now, yon want a kitchen. Let us plan a
kitchen first. " Then we will add other room.
I measured off an area eleten by twelve feet in
the apartments where they are residing.
'That," said bis wife, "is about the right aize
for a kitche'n."
Then we had a starting-point. Then I asked:
'How man v more rooms do t on want on the first
floor!"
"We want a bath-room and pantry first. Tben
w e want n sleeping-room, a dining-room, a parlor,
and a stairwav." I then measured off an area
twelve feet square ou the floor, at one corner of
lueirroom, wuu-u iney jnngeu woniu ue large
enough for a parlor or a dining-room. I then
drew a diagram on paper Z inches long by three
inches wide (one-eighth of an inch per foot,)
w hick represented the dimensions of a plan thirty
feet long by twenty-four feet wide, with the
side fronting south to the street. In the south
east corner is the dining-room, twelve by twelve
feet square. In the south-west corner is the
parlor, twelte by twelve feet. Between these
two rooms is a hall and stairway six feet wide.
(Any one can mark out such a diagram on paper,
and see tbe plan.) In the northwest corner is a
sleeping h part men t eleven by twelte feet square.
In the northeast corner is a bath-room, six by
seven feet square. Between the bath-room and
the dining-room, on the east side of th house, is
a pantry, six by seteu feet square. Between
the sleeping-room and the bath-room and panry
is the kitchen, eleven by twilte fet square.
Now keep an eye on yonr plan, and we will desig
nate the windows and doors. On the north side
of the dining-room, there is a bay-window. Ou
the east side is a straight window. Then can be
a tcrauda over the frout door, extending only a
part of the way toward the west end. At the
rear of the dwelling there is a window and out
side diwr for the kitcheu. The alecping-mom
eau be entered both from the kitchen and parlor.
The bath-room can to entered from tbe kitchen.
The pantry may be entered both from the kitchen
and from the dining-room. There Is a door also
between the kitchen and dining-room. Corner
closets ran be made in the sleeping apartments.
The cellar can le entered beneath the stairs.
The height of the loner story is nine feet; the
npjier story, eight feet. Such a house can bo
built of wood in the vicinitv of New York city
for 1,0X1.
Cure of Stammering'.
Very gratifying results have been obtained by
M. Chervin, a physician of Lyons, in treating
the ticions habit of stammering. A commission
appointed to investigate the working of Dr.
Chert ill's system, put under his treatment eight
patieuts, varj ing in age from ten to twenty-nine
years, all of whom stammered In their speech to
a most painful degree. Some of the patients had
been stammerers from early infancy, while oth
ers owed the habit to nervons shock. In ten
days after they were first placed nnder the care
of M. Chervin they were all ahlo to speak with
ont stammering, and at the end of three weeks
were discharged, perfectlv cured. The mode of
treatmet is as follows: The patient is taught,
by means of a large number of excrcies, to pro
nounce with distinctness, rowels, consonants,
syllables, and sentences. Great attention is
paid to the regulating of the act of Inspiration.
A slow but normal Inspiration Is taken at cer
tain intervals, and this is sneceeded by an even,
continuous, and loud expiration, during which
prnunnciation is effected. Twenty days are de
voted to the treatment, tbe time being di tided
into three periods: one of silence, to break up
the old habit; one in wbhhthe patient is taught
to speak slowly aud chlibcrately; and a third,
wherein he acquires the practice of speaking
llueutly, and without chipping his words.
Settling' Coffee.
A correspondent of the Tribune says that isin
glass is a splendid coffee clearer. She has nsed
it many )carv, and thinks it less trouble and
more economical than eggs. She contiunes:
Tbe kind I refer to can be had at any good
drug store; it comes in long, irregular strijis, is
semi-transparent, resembles a thin fish-skin. I
get the best of coffee, roat a rich brown, grind
medium fine not too coarse or fine. Exenence
will teach you how much coffee to use for your
family of the strength you like. Scald out)uur
coffee-pot, pnt in jonr quantity ofcoffee, then
for every half-gallon of water used add a strip
of the isinglass nhont two inches long and half
an inch wide. Alter the conee rnd iingiass are
in, add one gill of cold water; shaking all to
gether; then pour on your boiling water; set on
the store, and watch nntil it boils tip once, then
remove to a cooler place, and with a spoon stir
down the grounds from the sides of the pot ; add
a gill of cold water; let it stand undisturbed five
minutes ; clear tbe spout by pouring iuto a cup,
and return to the pot. With good cream, and
sugar to taste, I will tenture to say that yon
will have a delicious enp ofcoffee.
Spelling. A correspondent of tho Newark
Jdrrrtiter suggests the following rules for the
termination he antl iV, in the use of which mis
take are frequently made:
Rule I. When a complete word would remain
after leaving off tbe termination. i:e should be
nsed, as real-ire, modern-ire, citil-irr, Ac.
Rule II. When a wonl would be incomplete
without the termination, e should be used, as
demise, comprise, surmise, advise, enterprise, A.C
There are a few, and it is tery few, exceptions
to these roles. The principal ones ocenmng at
the moment are crih'nV acd recog-RiV, though
the latter is often with an s, almost iutanably
so in England, as we think it shonld to.
To Color SctKLrr. To each pound of goods
take one ounce of pult erized cochineal, one-half
onnceof cream-of tartar, two ounces of muriate
of tin. Use soft water. Color in tin or copper.
Let the water get a little warm before putting
the dt e stuff in. Stir well, so that all is dissolved,
then 'put in the goods and let them come to a
boiling heat aud simmer nntil the right shade
u obtained. A beautiful rose color can be made
by taking out when at the shade. It will not
fade by washing or wearing, but grow darker as
all other scarlets do.
An Interesting Experiment. An interesting
exeriment nay be performed as follows:
"Take foor glass tumblers, invert them npon
tbe floor, lay a board on them, let a person stand
on the board, and another standing on the floor,
beat him over tbe back a abort time, with a fur
can, muff, or anything made of fur or silk plash;
then apply your finger to his nose, and a spark
of fire will be seen to flash from the nose to the
finger. The room should be dark, wben tbe ex
periment is made, so as to be able to see the flash.

bake in a quick oven. When taken out, split
In halt ea, and place apple or other saace between.
Tie a piece of lace over a tumbler, letting it
down about halfway; pnt in some sweet peas,
fill with water so as to just cover the peas; in a
little while roots will appear and seek the bottom
of the tumbler; then the vine appears, andean
be trained on a twine or support, and it will
soon begin to show its pretty flowers,
Scott Pudding. One enp of suet, chopped fine;
one and-a-half caps of sweet milk; half a cup of

OH HUMAH FLESH it has been ascertained by repeated trials to be the very best Lini
ment erer nsed for any deep-seated pafc of long standing, or of short duration. Also for
COEHS, BUHIOHS, FBOST-BITES, er any braise, cnt or lameness. Some are afraid to nse V
it on hnman fiesh simply because it is a horse medicine, bnt yon shonld remember that what
is good for BEAST is good for UAH, and ire know from experience that "K2HD ALL'S
SPATLH CUBE" can be nsed on a child one year old with perfect safety. Its Effects are
wonderful on hnman fiesh, and it does not blister or make a sore. Try it and be convinced.
WHAT IS GOOD FOR BEAST IS GOOD FOR 3IAN.
Bead its Effects on Hnman Flesh!
