a The Sceds April and May will indeed be busy months to all those who expect to reap, for without sowing and planting no crop can be expected in the garden any more than on ths farm. In all the reâ€" gion north of 40° laticude planting and sowing beets, carrot, celery, cabbage, caulifiower, lettuce, parsmips, oniuns, peas, radishes, spinach,etc., will be finâ€" ished ere the month is over, _ South of that line lima and bush beans, corn, melons and cucumbers, squah, tomatâ€" oes, okra, etc., wil be sown or_planted this mouth but in colder climates these must be planted a month later. . Exâ€" act dates for sowing or plantng can not be given. _ For exampie, in a raluy season, 1t is better to wait a week ratl.â€" er than attenpt to plow ou low or heavy wet lana. A partially sanay soil is best suited for gardening operaâ€" tions asit can be worked earlerinspring and soon after heavy raius. 1t there is a choice of soil, use the sand for early work, and beavy land for later crops. â€" Deep plowing, nanute, and cultivation are all importaut in growâ€" ing crisp vegetables. If a person is content to take one crop from his land and leave it fallow the remainder of ‘the sucumer, these are not of so much iwportance. But he will not make much of a success as a market gardener by so doing. Nor is it necessary to do so if growing for bome use. â€" Radâ€" ishes, lettuce, youug onions, and the like, will be gone in six wecks from the time of sowing, and by the ena of July the first crops of potatoes, cabâ€" bage, peas, caulifiower, etc., will be off leaving an abundance of time for plantâ€" ing later crops on the same land. Cultivation uestroys. weeds and aerâ€" ates the ground at the same time. . A loose, friable surface soul an iuch or two in depth preveuts undue evaporaâ€" tion and cracking which is often comâ€" mon on heary prairie soi‘s. Keep tue cultivator or hoe going as soon as weeds appear. â€" Raking or harrowing at first answers all purpores. Do this after heavy rains, vefore the soil has time to kake. Sow or plant immvariabâ€" ly in rows, then before the first crop is ready to market or use,â€"the new one can be planted between the rows. A partial shade for young plants is not injurious, provided it lasts only for a week or two or until the second" crop is establislied. The flower garden differs little from the vegetable; that is the flowers classed as hardy in the seed catalogue may be sown either outs doors during April or transplanted from inside sowâ€" ings. The latter will leave room for those of a tender nature which like the same class as vegetables, must be lookâ€" ed after inMay. _ All planting of trees and shrubs must be done this month, as many of them leaf out carly, and then success is doubtful.. The secrcet of safe transplanting lies in getting all the roots possible ; keeping these from expqosure to sun and wind when out of the ground ; and, as we showed reâ€" cently, shortening the tops where the roote have b en cut in digging. trees SZand shrubs bear removal ail If these rules are. followed _ most right. Should a lot of trees from a nursery be received badly dried out, the best way to recuperate Ahem is to bury for a week, root and branch, in the soil. â€"If anything will revive them this will. Do all spading and cleaning up this month early in the month. There is not much beauty either in plant or flower of the Lady‘s Slipper if allowed to take care of itself. But if good strains are selected and care given them they make: a gorgeous show. Sow seeds this month. A very modeâ€" ate hotbed is quite sufficient for the purpose. Give the plants all the air possible. . Transplunting once from the seed bed, back into the frame is beneâ€" ficial, giving an abundance of. air in warm days to insure a stocky growth. If through any cause they get spindâ€" ling or drawn up, set them back deep in the soil, when they will root .all up the stem. The objsct to aim at is to have the branches near the ground. Thos who get the best results in balâ€" sam raising, transplant two or three times. This has a tendency to dwarf them. â€" Rich sandy spil is most favorâ€" able for producing the finest flowers. The colors are white, lilac, crimson, violet, rose, blood red, ~with intermedâ€" iate shades including these colors in stripes, spots, etc. In the after treatâ€" ment thin out the shoots so as to give lightfand air all around the branches, or half the flowers will be smothered by leavestand small twigs. A perfectâ€" ly symmetrical plant is shown in the illustration, and to produce such speciâ€" mens an abundance of room is required. Now a balsam easily grows three feet in diameter, so that in order to get the best effect set 3 feet apart. _ The prunâ€" ing for this style consists in nipping off enough inside shoots to allow those which remai, free growth. Another way of fgrowing balsams practised by many is to train all to single, or triple stems, pinching off side shoots as they appear, _ Naturally this style: alâ€" lows planting much closer together â€"about a foot apart is a good distance. As growth is bound to proceed upward if it can not lateraliy, these will reâ€" quire a stake for support. There is this to be said about the latter method; if nipping off the side shoots as the apâ€" pear is attended to faithfully it is easiâ€" ly possible to have almost a solid mass SPRING GARDEN WORK. to sow and the Condition Ground. of the of perfect flowers as thick as they can be placed, with just enough gteen beâ€" tween the blossoms to enliven them. If not allowed to go to seed, flowering will continue until _ frost.â€"Orange Judd Farmer. Concllintion vs, "Lawing." Out in Dakota, they are trying the experiment of using a portion of the machinery‘ of justice to endervor to persuade people to agree rather than to merely provids a legal arena in which they may fight out their disnâ€" greements. _ They have established what they call "Courts of Concilia tion," to distinguish _ them_ probwhly from tle comon courts of "Contestaâ€" tion." _ Bach of these courts is constiâ€" tuted by any justice of the pesce sit ting with two Commissioners of Con cuiationâ€"special. officers elected for that purpose. _ Principais only are perâ€" mitted to. appear before the court. No attorneys are to be allowed to apâ€" pear, says the Week in describing the operation of the court, "and the chief testimony is to counsist of the stateâ€" ments of the principal parties to the action. _ The justice and the commissâ€" ioners are then to try to induce the contending parties to adjust the differâ€" euce on the ground of justice. Should this effort fail, none of the proceedings are. to form part of subsequent litignâ€" tion." There is beautifal distinetion drawn here between "Justice" and "Jaw ;" . if the contending pairties will not accept justice they can appeal to law. The exclusion of the lawyers from the court was a stroke of genius.. The whole scheme aims a deadly blow at their sources fo emolument ; and toperâ€" mit them to come in and "queer" the machinery wou d be like passing a law against jam and appointing the small boys to enforce it. If wisely worked, this law ought to result in great good to the community. There is altogethâ€" er too much "lawing" in the country. Men get into a dispute and "go to law" about it, scon spending in fees and time a vast deal more than the whole thing comes to, not to take into conâ€" sideration the neigborhood hatreds and beartburnings that are created. Any device which will make people seek to agree rather than disagree will be of so great benefit to the country that this experiment will be watched with interest. The Daily Bath, A daily bath is not only a luxury, it is a necessity. A plunge bath is withâ€" in the compass of every one. A sponge bath is always feasible. This may be taken with no appliances beyond the bowl of water, the sponge or washâ€" cloth, the soap and towel. It is more easily managed with the aid of a large foot tub, in which the. bather may stand while he uses the sponge. The temperatme is a mooted questâ€" jon upon which doctor and patient disâ€" agree. To some persons there is nothâ€" ing more bracing and invigorating than a cold plunge, while others do not reâ€" cover for hours from the chill such a bath gives. Certain physicians recom:â€" mend a very hot bath, and assert that it is as stimulating in its after affects as is the cold plunge, and less likely to produce ill effects. _ Nearly all unite in declaring immersion in the tepid bath relaxing, and thus detrimental . to health. The question is one that each bather must settle for herself. What suits one may be positively harmfal to anâ€" other, Certain it is that the hot or warm bath is more cleansing than cold water. The sudden chill of the latter closes the pores, and. prevents the es cape of the effete matter it is the ob ject of the bath to remove. The woâ€" man who takes a cold plunge for its after effects should‘ first sponge herself off in warm water and achieve cleanliâ€" ness before she induiges in her ‘bracer,‘ Only the best soap should be used in bathing, and many women do not use soap at all, preferring the bags of bran, oatmeal, or almond meal which may be: procured from druggists or other dealers in toilet articles, By the use of these bags the skin is cleanâ€" sed and softened beautifully. _A greasy skin is sometimes benefited by the add ition to the bath of one or two tableâ€" spoonsful of household ammonia, â€" Borâ€" ax is also excellent for this purpose. The hand may be employed in serub bing the person; and may either be bare or covered with a bathing glove of rough Turkish towelling, by those who prefer this method to.the use of a sponge or washecloth. A vigorous rubâ€" bino assists the action of the skin. Whoever feels a chilly sensation afâ€" ter a warm plunge, and experiences difficulty in regaining her normal temâ€" perature, should try the experiment of sponging herself off with cold water when she leaves the hot bath, and see if the slight shock will not tone up the skin and prevent any subsequent chill. The beneficial effect of a bath is greatly heightened by a hard rubbing after leaving. . A rather coarse or rough Turkish towel should be used, and the friction should not be stopped when the moisture has been removed, but continued until the body is in a glow from head to foot. This operaâ€" tion will only requnire a few moments, and it is well worth the trouble.â€"Harâ€" per‘s Bazar. Shutting our Eyes.

There are certain old forms of proâ€" ceedings connected with our legislative assemblies which it may be presumed that very few but those connected with the details of parliamentary business have auy notion of. _ Many persons for instance may have seen Mr. Speaker Ballantyne enter the chamber preceded by a tall gentleman with a sword by his side, carrying on his shoulder. a heavy gilt club surmounted by a crown â€"in short a mace ; but few people are cognizant how important this article is to the legislative duties of their repreâ€" sentatives.. Be it known then that without it the House of Commons or any other legislative assembly does not exist ; and that is as essential that the mase should present at the deliberâ€" ations of all these bodies as Mr. Speaker should be there himself. Without a Speaker the House never proceeds to business, and without his mace Mr Speaker eannot take the chair. At the commencement of a session and before the election of a Speaker this valuable emblem of his dignity is hidden under the table of the House while the clerk of the table presides during the elecâ€" tion ; but no sooner is the Speaker elected than it is drawn from its hiding and deposited on the table, where it ever after remains during the sitting of the House ; at its rising Mr. Speaker carries it away with him, or Sergeantâ€" at Arms Glackmeyer does it for him, nandever trusts it out of his keeping.
