Garden Bulbs.

Now ia tbs time when bulbs should be taken up and stowed away, as the leaves of the plants remain too long in the ground. The bulbs should be put away io the shade to dry for a few days; then the tops, roots, and rough skin should be removed, and the bulbs put in paper bags, properly labeled. Bulbs that have flowered in water should, as soon as the flowers begin to fade, be removed and planted in earth, where they will get a little nourishment for the future good of the bulb; but even then the bulb is weakened, acd bulbs will not flower as well in water twice, though they will serve for planting in the garden.— Scientific American. George Eliot says that h young man’s eyes first opea to the world when he is in love. This is not always so. Usually it ia when he has gone away from home and had bis washing sent out for the first time, and finds among it when it is returned an odd stocking with two red stripes about the top; and long enough to button around his neck. —Norwich Bulletin. “The man that hath no music in his sole” is a wretch who would not hesitate to buy a creaking boot. — Punch.
