Urging the linixrtnce of drain mid sew
era for carrying oft the wiwto from lioiuen
and the surrounding Grounds, for every
body admits this Importance. Very ninny
Jicrsons, however, with the best jiosslble
intentions lay their sewers and drain pipes
ta such a way as to augmeut Instead of
decreasing the evils for which the dralc
Were designed.
FERFECT AND IMPEliKECT DRAINS
Mayor Wheeler, of Auluirn, N. V., in a
pamphlet recently Issued deserilH, with
illustrations, the dangers which often
arise from badly laid sewers and drain
pipes. A common mistake U the one
represented in the first figure shown In
the cut. As will be seen, the cement pipe
is badly laid, the projecting collars pre
Renting the sections of tho pipe from rest
ing on a suiuclent support. The conse
quence is, the earth above tho pipes cracks
and breaks them, allowing the leakage of
Impure water and the escape of foul air
through every opening. The remaining fig
ure shows a pipe properly laid, being com
pactly bedded in earth so that the support
13 amplo for the pressure, and breakagu,
in consequence, cannot occur.
IIow to Hoot Cutting,
Many plants may )e propagated with
ease from cuttings, provided one knows
just how to proceed. Susan Power, in
American Gardeu, gives in detail some
exceedingly careful directions, from which
the following points are gleaned: Tho
pots and soil, or cutting bed, should 1)0
made ready beforehand, so that blips may
be promptly placed therein as soon as cut.
The tost cutting is a bhoot of new growth,
just before it grows woody at nil or
fibrous, but will snap oil clean without
strings. This should have threo buds, if
possible, though one leaf and loaf bud will
start lu good care. Hoots start from the
bud at the base of the leaf sooner than
from any other part. Take off all leaves
for an inch or two and stick the cutting in
sand to the lowest bud. The essential
thing is to keep cuttings entirely fresh till
planted by setting in water, or, what is
Letter, wrapping them lightly in a moist
cloth. The loss of their sap by evapora
tion before or after netting is their death.
Boxes three inches deep, half filled with
sand and a light mixture- of flbry soil or
leaf mold, faced oil with an inch of pure
sand, make good cutting beds when a
number are to be struck, ua with coleus,
alternantheras and bedding plants gener
ally, when ono wants plenty to use aud
some to give away,
For a few cuttings, the best thing is n
six inch flower pot, the drain hole plugged
With a cork, two inches of broken bits of
crock laid in, and a porous pot, half the
size or less, set within the larger ono and
kept full of water. Between the rims of
the two pots, which should be on a lovel,
tho space is filled with sand, in which the
cuttings are set against the outer rim and
well wet. The draining from the inside
pot of water keeps the cuttings always
moist, and they hasten to root. Sand is
best, being easy for tho tender root
threads to enter and freo from decaying
particles, which in soil cause cuttings to
tot at once. But when the lirst roots are
made known by the freshening of tho
torminal bud or shoot of the cutting, im
mediately pot or change to richer soil that
has food for tho plant, or it will lose
strength. Prompt planting must be given.
Shade nil cuttings for t he first day or
two, until the first shock of the change is
over. When danger of flagging is past
give cuttings the stimulus of light, shad
ing from hot sun and wind. Seeds and
cuttings never start more delightfully
than under shades of oiled paper tied over
the pot or tacked on the box. For open
ground, frames with oiled cotton covers
should be used to protect tender cuttings
trom changes of temperature.
'AN AMATEUR PROPAGATISCJ POT.
Cuttings of quick growing herbaceous
plants, like heliotrope, verbena, phlox and
alternantheras root quickly, chrysanthe
mums soonest of all. Nearly nil plant
root best in spring; still there is no raontlt
when cuttings cannot be rooted with care.
Choose cuttings when the plant is most
vigorous, and take strong shoots, that
have stamina, to start well. But with all
cuttings from herbaceous or wooden plants
tho rule must bo to keep the roots warm
and the top cool.. . Almost any shoot or
Blip will grow set in moist sand over hot
pipes, with the top kept in cool air. A
box over a pan of hot water or hot bricks,
in a cool room, where the sun plays freely,
but does not strike the plants, is as good a
Btart for cuttings as you can find.
Tips Versus Horseshoe.
In many cases tips, or a partial shoe,
are to bo preferred to tho full horseshoe;
indeed there are
many instances
in which farm
horses and others
driven on coun
try roads need no
shoes in summer
and are better
without them.
A correspond
ent in American
Agriculturist
tells of a horse
ha owned that TIP3 r0R horses' feet,
bad hard dry
mm
hoofs and contracted feet, which was
caused by a natural tendency, Increased
by shoeing with high calks.
For want of use, tho frog had withered
away, and the horse was aiway lame,
The shoes were taken off, and tip (see
engraving) only were used. These were
thin plates, reaching around the fore half
of the luxifs ouly, to protect the toe from
wearing away, Tho frog and the heels
thus came to tho ground at every step
the bars were aMo to spread, and the
proper functions of the feet, to preserve
healthful action and growth, were given
full play. 1 ho nore soon became aouud,
the frog grew healthfully, and the feet
were lu perfect order, while the expense
of shoeing wan greatly reduced.

The status of tho cot to crop has not

higher than tho average at the same sea

Au lueipenslve Luiury.
A good hammock is a luxury that ought
to found iu every section of conntry dur
inz the summer season. The cut shows a
contrivance by which, with small ex
pense, a double luxury maybe gained,
viz. : a hammock inside a tent. The tent
part of the erangoment will be especially
appreciated In localities where flies, mus
qui toes or gnats abound. A World cou
tributor tells bow to make it
A HAMMOCK TEXT.
Cut four strong sticks about live or tlx
feet loug and as thick as one's arm. Point
these and drive in tho ground in form of
a parallelogram. Tie a strong rope be
tween the end sticks and fasten the ham
mock to them. If the tops of the sticks
are bent over and tied together a large
square of netting may bo thrown over to
protect the sleeper from insects, or a
square of canvas in the day time to keep
oft the glare of the sun.
The hummock here illustrated is made
of barrel staves lashed to two pieces of
strong rope about eight feet long. In
placo of this can bo substituted a twine
or other hammock, such ns are for salo at
the stores, but tho homo made contrivance
will be found much better than none at
all.

Th Colors of Boston House.
The number of yellow painted houses
with white trimmings which one meets on
a drive a few miles out of town is remark
able, and red, which used to be reserved
for barns, has taken a place on dwellings.
It seems to me that this movement ia a
sensible one. within certain limits, but
that these bright colors are most at
tractive when sparingly used. A house
that stands at a distance from others will
bear them, but rows of yellow and red
houses make one long for a brown or even
white painted dwelling to relieve their
glaring monotony. I have heard it said
that yellow should be reserved for the old
colonial style of dwellings; but as this has
become the rage, relief from an oppressive
uniformity must be found In the adoption
of a new key of color for houses of differ
ent architectural form. Boston Post.

j Colored (llass.
j Until quite recently but little colored
. glass, with the exception of common block
i and amber bottles, was made in this country
Now quite a number of glass works are en
, gaged In its manufacture exclusively, and at
others it forms a large part of the product,
j Some of the most tieautiful colored glass pro
duced in the world, rivaling in depth and
. richness of coloring, as well as in beauty of
design, iuut iroiu iu" lamous works or
Europe, is made at the flint glass works of
the United State.
The coloring materials most largely em
ployed are irou, manganese, copper, coha't
and gold. There are generally used as
oxides, though iu some cases, but very rarely,
other compounds are u'ed. In addition to
tbe above, arsenic, uranium, chromium and
silver are occasionally employed.
Tha Liquid Island.
A half pint flask should be half filled with
a saturated solution of sulphate of xinc;about
a drachm of bisulphide, of carlxm, tinted with
a trace of iodine, should then lie carefully
poured on the surface of the zinc solution and
tbe flask filled up with waU-r; the latter mould
be carefully (toured in, down the side of tbe
neck, so as to mix as little as possible with
the zinc. The carbon bisulphide will assume
the shape of a perfect amethyst colored
sphere, floating between the liquids, and, ac
cording to Popular Science News, if undis
turbed, will last for weeks. The solution
ought to be filtered before using, as otherwise
it is likely to become turbid.
The Calhonn Doctrine.
"Calhoun held that the states were sover
eign, that tho constitution wus merely a
compact lietween separate sovereign nations,
to be construed entirely by the rules of in
ternational law; that such a treaty, when
broken by one state, was no longer binding
upon any; and that, consequently, the de
claration of a state that the constitution had
lieen violated absolved the people of that
stute from any further allegiauco or obedi
ence to the United States until the wrong
had lieen made good. To Calhoun's mind
this theory did not militate against the ex
istence of the Union; it only oisrated ns a
check upon tho tyranny of a naiional majority-
What Was the Holy Alliance?
The holy alliance was entered into in Paris,
September, IS 1.1, by tho eiiqieroi-s of Russia
and Austria and the king of Prussia. It was
an attempt to announce a principle of gov
ernment which it wn expected would secure
justice and prosierity and jieaco to Europe.
It was considered I hut the French revolution
and tho supremacy of Napoleon I was tho
work of men. The human laws by which
tho state was governed were to lio purified
and invigoruted by a divine power.
Naval AcacleiDj-.
Tho United Stales Naval ncademy was
founded in 1S4.1. The buildings were trans

in nuval matters. In IM'.I the school wus
reorganized, Iho course of Instructions was
revised and tho title changed from Naval
school to United Stall's Nuval academy,
ami two yeurs later the term of study was
fixed at four years.

Wliy Docs the Needle Tolnt North?
It seems absurd that the magnetic needle,
without which no sailor has dared to leave

mystery ; nevertheless it is a fact. We are
not only ignorant why the needle rioint

tion. One thing we do know is that when
used on an iron ship tho needle is much af

At tho close of tho Franco-Prussian war
the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were
not demanded from France by tho Oerman
