Take an acorn in the spring, and tie a string round it in such a way that, when suspended, its blunt pnd, where the cup was, shall be upwards. Hang it thus prepared in the inside of a bottle or hyacinth glass, containing a little water, taking care that the acorn does not reach within an inch of the water. Wrap tbe bottle all over in flannel, so as to keep it dark and ann, and put it into a dark place. IrTCtliree. orfob f, weeks. theacorn&wiH S5aTSMP5!lr)l:irrfSasteaft uuTonUH7ii tba w . iriii-iiiiiDuaiovl and a little white point will have made its- appearance at the end next the water. This point is the root; the acorn is now changing its nature and becoming an oak. Still, however, it must be left in the dark, and kept clear of the water; and so it must con tinue until the young root is at least half an inch long. Then the water may be allowed to rise higher; but it is only when from tho neck of the root a point begins to run upwards that it is safe to allow the water to touch it. At that time the acorn has ceased to be an acorn, and has really become a youn oak, for the little point direct ing itself upwards is the beginning of that trunk which, a century later, may form the timber of a frigate. As soon as this young "stem begins to shoot, the oak will require a dose of light, a little very day; and it also yearns for more food, so that its root, which in reality is its mouth, must be allowed to touch the water, and to drink it. After these events have coma to pass, the little plant breathes, and must have air; digests, and must have light; sucks greedily, and must have fresh water given to its root, which, however, should never be per mitted to be wholly coverod just at that point where the stem begins should always be kept out of tho wa ter. The plant having been brought to this, its lirst state of existence, must be put in tho window. At first it will be a stout thread, whitish, and cover ed with tiny scales; then these expand a little, and the end becomes greener. Next appear some little leaves; veins will branch, the o'd scales will fall off, and by slow degrees the leaves will ar range themselves upon the stem, each unfolding from the bosom of the other. The JIallicur Reservation. The following letter from Hon. M. C. George to Major Khiuehart is of in terest to our readers: "Washington, D. C, ) March 19, 1881. My Dear Major: Regarding the Malheur Agency, I will state that I have talked with the officers of the De partment and with Secretary Kirk wood, and it is not known whether legislation will be needed in the opening for set tlement of the land there or not. No action will be taken by the govern ment towards opening the laud for set tlement until the ttiliiirs of the Agency are closed nnd an understanding arriv ed at with the Indians, so they tellnif, as to the distribution of the lauds and proceeds, so that nothing definite can now be said to the settlers. I am thankful for your valuable sug gestions, and I hope that I may be of some assistance to the people of that spction. I will do all in my jmwer to aid the settlers, but advise them not to JreJiasty in making improvements until theyhear more about their chances for title. Tliey may thus save much trouble in the future. Yours very trulv. M. C. Geoiiue. Scene in the District Court of Eureka, Nevada: In questioning a peer from Ruby Hill, the lawyer nl teruptcd to arrive at what the juror termed an "unqualified opinion," and propounded the following question: "If I should tell you that a certain crime had been committed on Ruby Hill, would you believe itl" Juror "If I didn't know you to be such a notorious liar I would." The court and specta tors smiled audibly, and the discom fited disciple of Blackstone fell back in his chair thoroughly demoralized. A woman admires a handsome man until sho meets a woman whom he ad mires, and then she thinks that he isn't as handsome as he was, and that the woman is a deceitful, jealous, conniv ing hussey. "Do you drink J" said a temperance reformer to a beggar who had implor ed alms of him. "Yes, thank you," returned the candid pauper, "where shall we gol" LKGGMD OF TUK WEDDING KIXG. In the days well known to history as "once upon a time," a ocrtain nobis Roman youth wa3 deeply engaged in the excitement of a game of ball. Tho occasion was an important one to him, for it was his wedding feast, but tho play made him careless of a treasure that he ought to have guarded with the greatest affection. He took off his wedding ring and placed it upor the finger of a statue of Venus, to re main there until he should want.it rer-rjPi-'hen, V.'g.rravTyyljyy.'g--. after ho wislted to take it, he foundlto his dismay that the stony hand had be come clenched, so that it was impossi ble to remove the ring. He had now to pay the penalty of his rashness, for he was constantly haunted by the figure, which kept whispering in his ear, "Embrace me, I am Venus whom you hae wedded. I will never re store your ring." The wretched youth continued to be followed by his disa greeable companion until, after much difficulty, he was able with the assis tance of a priest, to force tho goddess to relinquish' the ring, and then only was tho young man free. This legend is widely spread, and ha been popular under varied forms; in some of these the Virgin Mary takes the place of Venus, and the owner of the ring hav ing, by placing it upon the finger of a statue, become the betrothed of tho Virgin, is obliged to renounce the world and enter a monastery. In an other version, a certain priest, desir ing to enter tho marriage state, seeks a license from the Popo, who grants his request on condition that ho shall first conciliate St. Agnes, who was not only the patroness of his own church but the special preserver of virginal chastity, by placing on the finger of her imago an emerald ring, sent for tho purpose by the sovereign pontiff himself. The priest does as he is di rected, and places the ring upon tho foni tlr finger of the figure, but his as tonishment is great when the hand which had been put forward to receive the ring is returned to its original po sition. Attempts to withdraw the ring are ineffectual, and the unfor tunate priest realizes the disagreeable truth that he is contracted to St. Agues and can marry no one else. Thesa stories are peculiarly interesting as ex hibiting the feeling which was univer sally entertained in old times, that wedding and betrothal rings possessed an inherent power and value in them selves, a belief which still lingers in some places. Oi Capsicum, nrllcil Pfjipcr. This is the most acrid and stimulat ing condiment with which we are ac quainted. It is a powder from several varieties of capsicum, an annual East India plant, of which there are three kind so far naturalized in Great Britain as to grov in the open air. These are tho guinea, the cherry and the bell pepper. All the pods of these am extremely pungent to the taste, and in the green stntn nro used as a pickle. When ripo they are ground into cayenne and sold ns a condiment. The best of this, however, is made on the southern coast of Africa, from what is called the bird jiepper, on ac count of hens and turkeys being ex tremelypartlal ,Uy tlt JLiin ported, ready forimmedlateise;)f('th5Icaprr sicum species of pfiuits there are five; but th- principal are capsicum annum, the common long-podded capsicum which is cultivated in gardens, and of which there are two varieties, one with red arid another with yellow fruit; capsicum gossum, the bell pepper, the fruit of which is red, and is only fit for picking; and capsicum baccatum, or bird pepper, which rises with a shrubbery stalk four or five feet high, with its berries growing at the division of tho branches. This is small, oval shaped, and of a bright red color, from which the best cayenno is made, viz: natal, which is considered the finest, richest in flavor, and most punsnt. This variety is cut up and pounded by the natives and mixed with a little saltpetre, then packed in air-tisht tins of nearly thirty pounds each, in which shape it is usually imported. Fever Geriis.
