(Froia ' Our Joe," by L. II. Stephens, i:i St. Mvh o.äs tor oveaiJer.j 'Our Joe" is a fine specimen of the peci3 known a tlie sulpliur-crcslcd cockatoo. He always thowed a preat dread of dn!l or manikins, and thulcd us to tease 1 dm by placing our pet Punchinello at the foot of his prch. Pear of the uncanny thing kept him a close pri -oner for some time; but one dav he came cautiously down the upright pole, and backed judiciously away from the rear of the bated monstrosity. This protuked a ur-w device; another grinning figure was placed back of the stand. After long contemplation of the situation "Joe" now managed to escape, with much trepidation from one side; but gradually the entire collection of manikins was placed around hi? perch, so that thoy laid siege to him. At ih'n "Joe" became preatly incensed. 1Ü3 crest rose and fell every minute in the d'iy. (It is a curious fact that it never seemed to occur to him that he might lly from the trrh. He lias never attempted to reach it or -cave it in that way, but" invariably climbs up or down by means of his tent and ber.k.i Ami now Joe's" life began to have a shade of anxiety in it, until at last he became quite unhappy. One memorable day, stealthily descending from aloft, he clashed suddenly into the charmed circle, and seüed Mrs. Iunch by her wonderful frilled cap. Then, with crest erect and eyes flashing, his form trembling with rage and excitement, he rushed up the pole, and, one more safely aloft, Le tore the offending Judy into pieces, with an energy bordering on insanity. Thia tremendous effort sufhoed for the remainder of the day, during which he sat ujKjn Lis perch w ith his feathers rulllod and trembliu-r. So, one by one, th" members of that unfortunate family fell victims to his hatred. I'or a long time, he did not dare to attack Punch himself; but he finally mustered courage suflicieut to attempt the capture of hi-arcb-fnemy, and, a few minutes' later, the urrible toy.stripped of his pit and tinseled bravery, lay bopenciy broeii"u I disfigured, upon the floor.

ALL, AROUND THE HOUSE. llanly 1 wcringlinlh, A ood Ii -1. fur n Trrt-Tnr Jiaby. ltet ipos Hint Siiijest nm-. Good Housekeeping gives the following dircctious for planting bulbs: Hardy spring-flower bulbs may be planted at any time daring autumn till the ground freezes, but all points considered, the month oü October Ls the most favorable season, as then the bulb- have sufficient lime to form strong roots before winter sets in, while if planted sooner they arc apt to bloom so early in spring as to become injured by. frost?. To pre-duce the mest pleasing erbet, bulbs, especially those of the smaller kinds, should be placed in clumps or groupes by themselves jc er singly or mixed together, and most ctlective combinations may be elesigned by planting artcd colors. Hyacinths. Tulips, Narcissus and Jomjuils should be planted about eight inches spurt each way nud tlure to four inches deep, and, in very san-.ly coil, somewhat deeper eve?:. Crocus, Scillas, Snowdrops and similar bulbs should be planted about f jur Inches apart and two inches eleep. Ail these bulbs are hardy enough, to survive our ordinary winters, csxecially when the grouud i.s covered with snow, yet all that is necessary to protect them aainr-t the severest cold even, Ls a covering of three or 'our iaihes of forest leave s, held down with brush or evergreen branches. The latter is far the neatest, and if the branches a:e placed fiiiuuly over the beds and around the edges ugainst the turf, Urform n real ornament all winter. This winter covering should not be applied before the ground becomes frozen hard, ami it should not be ronutved in spring until the green leaes have pushed throuzh the soil. More valuable still, indispensable almost, arc these bulbs for the house ami window garden. Prom the Christinas holidays all through the weary winter months they will, with proif management, brighten and einer our homes, so as to make us forget, in a measure, the cold and storms without. In growing bulbs for forcing, the first-object to secure is strong, healthy root growth, and this mu-t le induced before the leaves arc forming. More failures result from nonobservanee of this ih.m from alt other causes combined. Any g) 1. rich potting soil is suitable for bulbs; equal parts of loam, decomposed cow manure, and sand are a favorite misturc with fiorists. Perfect elrainage is another important condition, which may easie-t be Itrovided by placing about an inch of potsicrds in the bottom of the xts before iiiling with foil. Tito pots should he filled loosely up to the rim. the bulbs are then pressed in the soil SO that thcrpyyi is ju.st perceptible alcove the surfaccTffirr.-MJie soil i? press-ed firmly around the bulb. Afb-r watering free-ly, the pots have to be placed in a dark, cool iosition, and covi red with a few inches of .and and leaves. This is best done outdoors in o pit or cold frame", but a cellar er dark closet may lc madij to answer as well. Here thry should remain about two months, examining thein occasionally, and giving water when too dry. The soil should be kept moderately moist only, not wet. After the pots have become well Idled with roots, they may, at any time, be removed to a warmer place, ex-i-osed to full light, and watered freely. In a tew weeks the plants will develop into full bloom and beauty, and by bringing a few lots to the house efcrytwoor three weeks n continuous bloom may be secured ail winter. Most bulbs may also be grown successfully in water, or moss, but whichever incthod'is adopted, forcing should never be commenced be fore an abundance of roots have formed. When tclectins bulb- it should be observed that it is not always the largest that are the best; some of the very choice d varieties have only small or mcdium-si-red bulb?. '1 he number of pood kinds is now so great that to make a selection oi the best is not an easy nudter, but fortunately all the leading varieties of commerce are so pretty that no one can go tar wrong by leaving the selection to the dealer. What are sold as assorted C(dhctions contain, generally, some of the most

i -

desirable varieties, and are sure to give perfect satisfaction t all but. perhaps, the experienced specialist, run whatever the limit M the reader's purse may be, a few Hya-

I cinths, lmips, and raroissus are within the reach or every one, and the good house-, keeper who neglects to add bright, fragrant dowers to the outfit of the living room, deprives herself ami her family of one of the most easily obtainable, aim most ertectiyl means of making a cheerful home. Ir. P. M. Hexamer, In Good Housekeeping. Marion llarland says: When "properly made, milk-toast is a - MO-T KATIsKAf TORY M'PPKR for babies over two-years old. Pare awav the crust from slices of stale, light, fwee"t bread, and with a cake-cutter or sharp-edged tumbler cut each of these into a round, cooky-shaied piece. (They taste be tter to baby and to bigger children in thia form than in the rectangular slice. I know one baby, twenty years of age, who when appetite flags begs for -round cream toast such as mamma ued to make for us when we were wee bits of things."! Spread the rounds on a platter; set them on the oven a few minutes until they begin to roughen all over. Then toast them ciuickly-over a clear fire, and scrape off every burnt crumb to bring the surface to a uniform shade of yellow brown. Pip each piece, as it is taken from the toaster, for a hasty second into boiling water (salted), butter lightly, and pile them in a howl. Cover out of sight with scalding milk, also salted, f.t on a ciose top to the bowl, and set in a pan of boiling water in a pretty brisk oven for fifteen or twenty minutes. The process will yield a dish so unlike the insipid stuff accepted and eaten under the name of "din," or "milk,' or "soft toast' as to justify to beholder" and eater the expenditure of thought and pains required for its production. Babies soon discriminate between "messes" and dainty, delicate food, none the less delicious because the ingredients are simple and inexpensive. If you can instead of the scaldirg milk use half cream, half milk, the toast is still nee nutritious and palatable. The following receipt for Savoy cake 13 found in an old 1'ngh.sh cook-hook. The cake is delicious: The weight of four eggs in pounded loaf sugar, the weight of seven in Üour, a llttie grated lemon peel or almond extract for flavoring. Break the seven eggs, putting the whites into one bowl and the volks into another. Beat the yolks very liht, and mix the sugar with them and the flavoring; beat them well together; then add the whites which have been beaten to a frotli. Tut the flour in by degrees, nud after it is all stirred in, keep on beating the dough f ar at leaat fifteen miuutes. The cake should be baked in a loaf, and it will require from o::c hour and a quarter to one hour aud a half for it to bake. Custard is iu high favor among dyspeptics, because of some physicians' orders, ana also continv.es to be held in greatest esteem among little children.

A German paper says that forty arts of palter pulp, ten pans of water, one part of gelatine and one pari of bichromate of pot ash, with ten parts of phosphorescent Jkw. ib-r, will make a paper which w ill shine in the dark, and which will be suitable for labels, signs, etc. Printed matter may be copied on any paper of an abs(rbent "nature by dampening the mi rfaee with a weak solution of acetate of iron and pressing in an ordinary copying press.
