Hygiene of the Kitchen Garden.

Tint value of a good garden, viewed either from an ecooomte or from a hygienic standpoint, is by the great maaa of people very greatly underestimated. A few of the more common vegetables planted and allowad to maintain aa almost unaided struggle with weeds and inaedfe tetbe ideal—or, if not the Ideals the realization—or quite too many family kitchen gardens- And yet, very few who have space forn thinkof doing without a garden, even of thte naprbfiiabfe and unsatisfactory kind, ft furnishes some things to give variety, though bat little to makp up a substantial dietary. And this little often includes an undue proportion of thetaont indigestible and innutritions vegetables. *»•<;.. As compared with a well-stocked and well-cultivated garden, how meager does such a one appear I The true ideal of a garden raises it to a much more important level. It becomes one of the most prolific of the sources from which a welllurnUhed table is supplied. It contributes daily, or almost daily, the whole year round, the most nutritious and wholesome food, and contributes liberally, too. They who keep a good garden, and justly appreciate its value, need not be haunted with visions of tape-worms, or trichime, nr any of the fearful diseases more or less frequency resulting from the use of animai food, and from the liability to which no precautionary or prudential measures can secure us so long as we indulge in the use of such food. To those who have not thought mnch about it the quantity and variety of food ito be derived from a good garuen seems almost incredible. Beginning in early spring, with spinach and other varieties of greens, a succession is kept up with the early, mediuin and late kind of pease, bush beans, beets, earrots, salsify, Irish and sweet potatoes, tomatoes, Lima and Other pole beans, green corn, melons, squashes, pumpkins, the different varieties of the cabbage family, early and late, turnips, parsnips, etc., amongtheannuals, requiring but a single season for their production. Of a more permanent >character aie asparagus and rhubarb, which fill so important places in early spring; and also the delicious strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, gooseberries, currants, grapes, etc. The list might be even mnch more extended. The quantity of ground required to feed a single ox and prepare him for market, would, If cultivated as a garden, feed a whole family for an equal length of time; While the nutritive value of the food so produced is beyond comparison greater than the flesh of. the ox when butchered. And whatever we may think of the necessity for animal food, it must be admitted that the variety and of the products of the garden entitle them to a high range among nutritive -substances.. But the hygienic value of a good garden is not to be estimated alone by the quantity and quality of the food to be derived from it The pleasant out-of-door exercise, with the pure air and sunlight enjoyed for a few hours daily while caring tor the plants, would prove invaluable to men ohdedentary habits, and would do much to strengthen the shattered nerves and bring rosy hues to the pallid cheeks of multitudes of wivesand daughters made invalids by confinement within doors, and by working over Aot cooking stoves where the<air is loaOed'with vapors inseparable from the culinary art as now understood and practiced. The mentaiAygiene, too, is.well worthy of notice. The planning and. the preparation of the ground, the study of the habits of different plants and their,proper cultivation, the selection of seeds,'roots, vines and trees, thescare of them during the season of growth, the harvesting and storing of their products at the proper time and in the best manner, the oerobination of utility and neatness in all these and many other things, afford pleasant employment for the mind, which is otherwise too often burdened with cares and vexations much less favorable to good mental conditions. The satisfaction of supplying the table with the products of one’s own labor and care is a consideration of no-trifling importance. It is objected .that all these are small things. What .if they are small things? Great things, even the greatest things, are but the aggregation of parts, each of which taken alone seems very small. The strokes of an engine ares mall things, but a succession of them drives the. iron horse with its ponderous train, across the continent in a few days. The longest life is made up of a succession of moments. If each of these infinitesimal fragments Of time brings .with it a corresponding amount of p|eaaure, the whole lite will be a happy one, though marked with no specialseasons of .unusual enjoyment. The whole, la made upof its parts, and the character of the whole,'’ whether good or bad, is .but the summing up of the characters of .the parts of which it is composed. Lost health may be recovered .by stepsdio imperceptible that days or weeks may pass before manifest indications of progress are noticed. In many chronic cases this is the rule, and more rapid progress the rare exception. Make sure of being on the road to health, and if but one step is taken at a time, and the .intervals are long, it Is far better than to be making more rapid progress in the wrong ’direction.— I)r.

How to Prevent or Restrict ScarletFever.

The Michigan State Board of Health have issued a valuable pamphlet, giving, in .brief and comprehensive term, some directions in regard to the prevention and restriction of scarlet-fever, The importance of the subject is so great that we copy below the snore essential portions of the cineular:* *•-*•»»» *** jfcarlet-fever is now believed to be one of the mC6t contagious diseases. -One attack usually prevents subsequent attacks. The greatest number df deaths from this disease are of children under ten years of age. Adult persons do sometimes have the disease. Scarlet-feVerJs believed to arise from a special contagium or ptrison, which may be conveyed to persons previously unaffected by personal contact, by infected clothing or paper rags, or by any of the discharges from the body of a person affiactec with the disease. The discharges from the throat, nose and mouth are considered extremely dangerous, but those from the skin, byes, ears, kidneys and bowels an also dangerous, and remain so for a considerable time. Filth, all forms of uncleanness and neglect of ventilation increase the* danger of spreading the disease. It is believed that the disease may be communicated by a person recovering therefrom so long as the usual; subsequent scaling or peeling of the skin continues, which sometimes te not completed before r«ap»e of seventy or eighty days, although usually completed (boner. The interval oi time which may elapse after

exposure to tl»e contagium of scarlet fever, and during which a susceptible person so exposed may expect to be taken sick with the disease, varies from one to fourteen davs. Whenever a child has sore thioat and fever, and especially when this is ac'companied by a rash on the body, the child should be immediately isolated as completely as possible from other members of the household and from other persons until a physician has seen it and determined whether it has scarlet-fever. All peraone known to be aide with thio diaeate tJondd to promptly and thoroughly isolated from the public. - - The room into which one sick with disease is placed should previously be cleared of all needless clothing, carpets, drapery, and other materials likely to harbor die poison of the disease, except, such articles as are essential to the wellbeing of the patient. The sick room may have no carpet, or only pieces which can afterward be destroyed. Provision should be made, for the introduction of a liberal supply of fresh air and the continual change of the air of the room without sensible currents or drafts. Pockethandkerchiefs, that need to be saved, should not be used by the patient;small pieces of rag should be substituted therefor, and after being once used should be immediately burned. Soiled bed and body linen should be placed in vessels of water contain .ing chlorinated soda, chlorinated lime, or other disinfectant before removal from the sick room. The discharges from the patient should all be received into vessels containing chlorinated lime (commonly called “chloride of lime.”) Sulphate of iron, or some other known disinfectant, and the same buried at once, and not by any means be thrown into a running stream, nor into a cess-pool or water clocet, except after having been thoroughly disinfected. All vessels should be kept scrupulously clean and disinfected. Persons who are attending upon children or other persons suffering from scarletfever, ana also the members of the patient’s family, should not mingle with other people nor permit the entrance of children into their house. Funerals of those dying from ..carlet-fever eheuld be strictly private and the corpse not exposed to view. All persons recovering from scarletfever should be considered dangerous, and therefore should not attend school, church or any public assembly, or use any pulbllc conveyance, so long as any scaling or peeling of the skin, soreness -of the eyes or air-passages, or symptoms of dropsy remain. No person recovering from scar-let-fever should thus endanger the public health, nor appear in public until after having taken four times, at intervals of two days, a thorough bath. This cleansing, however, should bA deferred until the physician in charge considers it .prudent After recovery from scarlet-fever no person should appear in public wearing the same clothing worn while sick with or recovering from this disease, except such clothing has been thoroughly disinfected by some such method as herein specified. Whenever a case of this disease occurs in a locality, prompt and vigorous action should be taken for the restriction of the disease, by early isolation -of those sick with the disease, and by the destruction or disinfection of all articles dikely to be infected. Plain and distinct notices should be placed upon the premises or house in which there is a .person sick with scarlet-fever, and no child that has not had the disease should be allowed to enter, or to associate with persons who do enter such premises or room. All clothing, carpets, curtains, furniture, and other substanoes that are to be destroyed, shall be dealt with in a way to avoid conveying the pedson.to.any person in the process; they shall mot be simply thrown away, or into some.stream or body of water; and, if burned, should be com; pletely burned, and notsiiqply heated or dealt with in a way to diffuse.the poison of the disease. All such infected substances, which are not destroyed, should be, thoroughly boiled, subjected to a drj- Jieat of 250° F. in a closed room or disinfecting oven, or be thoroughly exposed to the fumes of chlorine or of burning sulphur. Books or furs that have been used or Handled by those convalescing from this disease are particularly liable to convey the poison to children who have never had the disease. Great care should be used to thoroughly disinfect any such articles that are net destroyed ; and caution should be exercised before allowing children who have not had scarlet-fever to handle any such articles thft have bebn used by persons liable to communicate the disease. Although not so active for the destruction of the contagium as is chlorine or sulphurous,acid gas, pure air, in liberal amount, is a very useful and important agent for the dilution and (destruction of the poison of the disease; it should be employed freely .; .but with this as with other procedures for the safety of the unaffected, great imrenhould be taken not to increase the danger to those already sick from any cause, who are usually endangered by exposure to drafts of cold air and this is especially true of persons convalescing from scariet-fcver.

How to Explode a Lamp.

—! . Tkb Scientific American gives some of the circumstances which lead to the explosionot kerosene lamps, the philosophy of all of them being that the flame may pass down through the wick and ignite the vapor whieh-accumulatesin the upper portion of the lamp. This vapor is not an explosive, as the term is ordinarily understood, hut when it is confined se that the gases resulting from its combustion cannot escape freely into the open air, the vessel confining it will be shattered. This ignition of the vapor may be brought about as follows: 1. A lamp may be standing on a table or mantel, .and a slight puff of air from the open window or door may cause an explosion. 2. A lamp may be taken up quiekly from a table or mantel, and instantly exploded. ; .t_ A lamp is taken out into the entry where there is a draught, or out of doors, and an explosion ensues. 4. A lighted lamp is taken up a flight of Biairs, or is raised quickly to place It on the mactel, resulting in an explosion. In these cases the mischief is done by the air movement—either by suddenly checking the draught or forcing air down the chimney against the flame. 5. Blowing down the chimney to extin guish the light is a frequent cause of explosion. 6. Lamp explosions have been caused by using a chimney broken off at the top, or one that has a piece broken out, whereby the draught is variable and the flame unsteady. 7. Sometimes a thoughtless person puts a small wick into a large burner, thus leaving considerable space along the edges of the wick. An old burner, with its air draught clogged up, which rightfully should be thrown away. id sometimes continued in use, and the final result, la an explosion.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

An English exchange says paraffine oil Will destroy “crops of insects” when two ounces of oil are mixed with six gallons of water and poured-sprinkled—over them. It is effectual, too, when sprinkled over the seed before sown, and the subsequent growth is said to be wonderful. It might be well to experiment with thte in ridding crops of insect enemies where the use of Paris green would lie objectionable. —Prairie Farmer. A good soil rarely fails, even in a poor season, of returning a paying income for the labor expended upon it in the cultivation of any crop adapted to it. The idea that the number of acres in crops indicate the farmers’ income must be abandoned, and the number of bushels per acre must be looked for instead. There is certainly less profit in plowing fifty acres to raise 1,000 bushels of grain than in plowing but twenty-five to grow the same amount, and trusting to good seasons for fair crops will usually make fair returns in what we call bad or unfavorable seasons.— Valley Farmer. A Novel Way of Making Jelly Cake. —Take the whites of six eggs, one cup of while sugar, same of flour, one teaspoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, two teaspoonfuls cream of tartar, and one of sodp. Bake in a large oblong dripping pan, so the cake will be very thin; meanwhile stir another batch, making just the same, with the exception of using the yelks instead of the whiles; when both are done, spread when warm with jelly, or preserves of any kind; pul together, bring the largest side of the cake toward you, and roll immediately; or cut in four or eight parts, put together alternately, putting jelly between each layer, and frost lightly over the top. Another method is to make three pans, making the third layer of one-third red sand sugar, proceeding the same as for the other layers ; in putting together let the first layer be the yellow, made of the yelks, then the red' and lastly ths whites. Nicely frost the top, and you have a beautiful as well as a delicious party cake. They are very pretty made into rolls.— Chicago In. ter-Oiean.

Steawbebby Shortcake.—One quart of sifted flour, one-quarter of a pound of butter, or butter and suet together, chopped fine in the flour, two heaping spoonfuls of white sugar, two spoonfuls of baking powder, all wet with cold milk or water to the right thickness to roll thin as for jelly-cake. Bake in sheets in a quick oven till just done, without browning, then spread fruit of any kind between, twice the thickness of the layers, alternating cake and fruit till the whole is as thick as desired. Strawberries should be mashed an hour before, and sprinkled with sugar, to be in the best state for cake, then the juice flows freely and flavors the whole. Return to the oven, with the fruit, and brown the top and sides, then serve with cream. This same shortcake can be made at the seasons when strawberries are out ot fashion, by substituting apple-jam or sauce, canned peaches, mashed with sugar, rich rhubarb sauce, or, best of all, the lemon paste, .made as follows: To the Juice of six lemons add three eggs, three-quarters of a pound of white coffee sugar, the grated rind of three lemons, and a quarter of a pound of good butter; Put the pan holding these into boiling water, and stir till it thickens like honey, without letting it boil. Bpread thickly between layers of shortcake, and serve hot from the oven, without cream.

How to Grow Roses in Open Ground.

It is doubtless well understood that no invariable rules -can be laid down for rose or plant culture. The few hints that we have room to give, point, we believe, in the direction of success; but the particular needs of plant-life require daily attention and study. Having given a few general directions, the rest may be left to the good judgment of each practitioner. Many well-infermed persons appear to think tbat roses are difficult to manage, and will not bloom without some special or mysterious treatment net generally understood. Now, .nothing coula well Le further from the truth. We believe there is no flower of proportionate value that can be had so -easily and with so little trouble. The pose is a good feeder, and will do well in any ordinary fertile ground, but is, of course, improved bv rich soil and thorough cultivation. It is always best to plant them in beds or masses, and not singly. The ground should be well spaded and pulverized to the depth of a foot or more, and enriched by digging in any fertilizing-inaterial that may be convenient. Make the bed of any size or shape that suits your fancy; only remember that roses appear to best advantage by theenueioeii. Therefore, make the bed only large enough for the roses you intend to plant. If you wish other flowers, make other beds.; do not put them with the roses.

Planting.— Set the plants .about six inches from the edge of the bed, and one foot from each other.. Make a hole large enough to allow the roots to be spread out nicely, cover with fine soil rather deeper than they were grown, and pack down tightly with the hand. Protection. — In spring planting it will generally be beet, though not always necessary, to protect the plants for a few days from the sun and chilling winds, until they become somewhat accustomed to their new position. One of the best ways we know of doing this is suggested by Mrs. Hull, of Oortlandt, X. Y. She uses paper grocery bags, turning the bags completely over the plant, whack should be supported by one or more small sticks and heaping on a little earth to keep it in place. Water.— ls the ground is dry when planted, water thoroughly so as to soak the earth down to the roots of the plants. After this, do not water too often—like persons, plants want water only when they are thirsty. Let them get thirsty before giving them a drink. Cultivation. — After the plants are established they need but little attention, except that the ground should not be allowed to bake or become hard, but should be frequently cultivated with hoe and rake, or other implements, so as to keep it light and friable, as well as clear from weeds and grass. Boses of the everblooming class will begin to bloom almost as soon as they commence to grow, and as the plant gains in strength and size, the flowers will increase in number and beauty, until the whole bed is a mass of bloom. Faded flowers should be removed dally; besides adding to the neat appearance of the beds, this encourages fresh bloom, as the effort to produce seeds weakens the vitalitv of the plant and hinders its growth. This is particularly applicable to the Hybrid Perpetual class, some of which are rather shy autumn bloomers, unless care is taken to keep them growing vigorously during the summer. At the approach of winter, it is a good plan to give the bed a covering oi coarse manure, forest leaves, partially decomposed sods, road scrapings, or any

similar material that is convenient; thia serves as a slight protection, besides Inducing a strong early growth the following season. Pruning.— When dressing up the beds in the spring, all the dead shoota should be cut off down to the live wood; besides this not much pruning is required, ex cept what may be necessary to keep the plants in reasonable shape and limit.— New Guido to Rcee Culture.

How Horses are Made Balky.

An active, high-spirited horse will start quickly and strike a trot at the first step. A timid driver is alarmed, fearing that the horse, will run away. He will jerk up the horse suddenly and violently. This irritates the horse, and he will not proceed. Then some annoyances are recommended to start him that would not have been required had he been used gently, and drawn up quietly, and spoken to in a mild voice. I once had a horse of this spirit, that I could start or stop in his best speed by the voice, and in so low a tone that a person riding at my side would not notice that I had spoken. Again, a horse of such disposition may be harnessed with a “slow poke.” They cannot start together; this Irritates the spirited horse, and will make him balk, as I have often seen in city cars. Let a man who is very active be compelled to walk for some time behind one who is very slow. He will find it a trial to his temper. A horse may be put to a heavy load with a tight collar, making the skin wrinkle and pinching him severely, or being greatly overloaded he is obliged to jerk violently to drtart his load, thereby bruising the flesh, and perhaps the next day, on being put to light work, the “ unreasonable” horse will" balk merely because his shoulders have been bruised the day before. I once had a mare that would balk from such causes; but by being careful to avoid them, found her a most valuable animal, and never had any Difficulty with her. I have seen horses whipped shamefully in long teams before starting. They would be flurried, no two pulling at the same time. It would require fifteen or twenty minutes to get them to their work. Now, how are they cured ? I saw such a team driven by a boy. He called to them to start, but no movement was made at first. He called out, “ Take your time,” and jumped on the car. In a few seconds each horse was feeling his collar, and in much less time than would be required to whip them they were drawing their load. For horses that are confirmed balkers, probablj’ an examination would show some such cause as I have named, and by removing the cause, the horse could probably be cured of his habit. — Our Dumb Animale.

A Training School for Nurses.

A training school for nurses will be opened soon in the New York Hospital. The class will be limited to twelve. Applicants must be between the ages of twenty and thirty-five, strong, healthy, have a fair English education, and bring certificates of good character from satisfactory sources. The course of instruction will include practical and theoretical teaching in medical, surgical and special nursing, bandaging, etc., and elementary lessons in anatomy, physiology and hygiene. It will extend over two years. At the end of the first year a second class will be taken in, and the first class will become head nurses of wards for the second year. At the end of this year they will, after passing a satisfactory examination, be graduated and receivethe diploma of the school. The whole number in training at any' one time will thus be twenty-four. One month of each year will be passed in the kitchen and one month in the laundry. Each of these departments will be directed by a skillful and experienced head. The instruction in the kitchen will include plain cooking, and all the varie ties of special diet, the various gruels, porridges, broths, soups, beef tea and essence, panada ana similar preparations. In the laundry, plain and fancy washing ana ironing will be taught, the use of the various soaps and cleansing preparations, their effect on the material of the articles washed, etc. It is intended that the graduates shall be not only good nurses, bat good housekeepers. It is believed that the instruction given will be an ample equivalent for all services rendered. An allowance will be made, however (for clothes), of ten dollars a month for the first year and sixteen dollars a month for the second. It is thought that graduates will command wages at all times equal to the highest rate paid in the country for similar services, now varying from” ten to thirty dollars a week, accord ing to circumstances. —Y. Y. Evening Pott. —The new spring suit of clothes is more than ever a work of art. It is the most striped, ringed, streaked, speckled and checkered thing ever brought to public notice. It sits a man as a Cossack sits his horse, and looks for all the world as though made from the wool of Jacob’s spotted sheep, or some of their direct descendants. It fairly makes a man dizzy to look at one of these new suits, ana angry to see the owner strut around in it. Especially is this so when the man can’t afford to have one himself. Chicago Journal.
