i
Dutch Bulbs.
There are few ornaments of the flower
bed or of the winter window so easily
managed .-and so deservedly popular as
the various Dutch bulbs, and as- this is
the best time to prepare for planting
them, we will have a few words to say as
to their management. The bulbs may be
planted in October those that start early
" should be planted first, such as Snow
drops and Crocuses.
And first as to out of door planting.
The spot chosen for the bed should be
sheltered from the cold winds of spring,
so that the first warm, sunny days in
March may bring up the Crocuses and
Snowdrops in a joyous promise of com
ing spring. The ground should be
spade up deeply and a good dressing of
fine stable manure worked in, and if the
soil is at all inclined to be stiff and
heavy a good inch or two of sand should
be worked into it.
Most of the smaller bulbs will do best
by planting them in little clumps or clus
ters about two inches apart eacl way.
The snowdrop and crocus and scilla will
thrive in this manner, and give a much
better effect io the garden than when
scattered about too much ; and, moreover,
are less likely to be damaged by careless
cultivation of the garden than when iso
lated. These small bulbs will need tj
be set only an inch or two below the sur
face, and if it isesired to bring them
up very early hey may be covered in
November with six or eiirht inches of
leaves and evergreen boughs to prevent
the ground from freezing deeply, and by
raking off this covering in March they
will astonish you some fine morning
'with their jolly little heads peeping up
through the very snow. These bulbs,
however, are entirely hardy, and will
flower successfully without any covering
through a week or so later.
After the bulbs are done flowering
they should be left undisturbed as long
as the foliage is green ; when this turns
jellow and drops down they may be
dug up and dried in a shady place and
then stowed away in paper bags or in
drawers to be planted the next fall. The
place occupied by them in the garden
may be replaced by bedding plants of
various kinds, such as verbenas, gerani
ums, heliotropes, &c, and if it is neces
sary to plant out these bedding plants
before the bulbs are ready to be removed,
they can be placed in spots between the
clumps of bulbs without disturbing them
until they are ripe; the bulbs will ripen
before the bedding plants make much
.growth, and the garden will thus keep
up a constant appearance of life and
beauty.
The Hyacinth This universal favorite
comes a little later than the snowdrop
and crocus, but is perhaps the most ele
gant and beautiful of all the bulbs.
There are many colors and varieties too
numerous to mention here, but no col
lection should be without the beautiful
feather hyacinth.
For Window Gardening however, the
snowdrop and crocus, the hyacinth and
the cyclamen are especially adapted.
They should be planted now in pots of
about six inches in diameter, several bulbs
in a pot if small ; they should be watered
and set away in a cool cellar until they
begin to show signs of growth ; they
must make roots first and then they can
be safely brought into the light and
warmth of a common house room and
forced into flower ; if they can con
veniently be placed in a sleeping room at
first where it does not freeze and where
the temperature is about 40 degrees to GO
degrees, they will come forward more
healthily than if brought at once into a
sitting-room with a dry heat of 70
degrees or 75 degrees. Keep them cool
and moist and you will not fail to be re
warded with beautiful clusters of well
formed flowers.
The Anemone is later, and a little too
delicate to endure our winters without
careful covering; its rare beauty will,
however, well repay the needful trouble
of covering it in November with a good
mulch of leaves or evergreen boughs.
The Tulip has its place in the garden
in giving brilliant masses of gorgeous
color. The flowers are too coarse and the
colors too raw and crude to be very use
ful in the bouquet or the drawing-room,
its odor, too, is not agreeable it is per
fectly hardy and comes just after the
hyacinth in May.
The Scilla is one of the most lovely
of all the bulbous flowers and is perfectly
hardy.
The Lily of the Valley is perhaps the
most deservedly and universally popular
of all the bulbs. The purity of its white
flowers, the rare delicacy and grace of its
liabit, and its most delicious fragrance
combine to make it an appropriate bridal
ornament, for which purpose it is used
.almost as much as the Orange flower.
The skillful florists force it into flower
.at all times in winter, but its management
when forced is rather too difficult for
success in the window of a common
house.
Bulbs that have been forced are hardly
worth saving for replanting, but can be
made to bear an inferior crop of flowers
by allowing them to remain in the pots
till after the leaves drop and then taking
them out and keeping them dry till the
.next fall. The Cyclamen needs a little
different treatment. The pots should be
plunged out of doors in May, and the
bulbs repotted in fresh earth in fall; or
the bulbs can be taken out of the pots
and planted in the garden and repotted
in fall. This is one of the most beauti
ful and lovely of all the winter flowers
that can be raised in the house.
The bulbs are excellent plants for
house culture; they will endure the dry
heat and dust of an ordinary parlor
better than most other plants, and are not
jntested by insects.
A Great Loss to France.
The announcement of the death of
Thiers was startling in its suddenness.
Though already an octogenarian, so won
derful was his vitality that he might rea
sonably have been expected to live for
ten years more. His death, in the ma
turity of his powers, with every faculty
ajert and vigorous, is a great loss to the
world, and may prove a great calamity
tovFrance.
Louis Adolphe Thiers was born at
Marseilles in 1797, of bourgeois paren
tage. He at first intended to enter the
army, but on the death of Napoleon I.
his friends selected for him the profes
sion of an advocate, and he was sent to
the Academy of Aix. After a brilliant
career as a student he was admitted to
the bar in 1820, and began the practice
of law in Paris. Meeting with little suc
cess, he soon turned his attention to jour
nalism, becoming a contributor to Le
Conslitutionnel. His political articles in
this journal attracted the favorable notice
of Talleyrand, and not long after a
wealthy admirer purchased for him a
share in the proprietorship of the paper.
In 1823 he made his appearance in the
world of letters by publishing his His
toire de la Revolution Francaise a work
which at once attained a great and de
served popularity. During the whole of
his busy life he was continually publish
ing pamphlets and bulky volumes, suf
ficient in themselves to have occupied
the entire time of a man of ordinary in
dustry. His Histoire du Gonsulat ct de V
Empire is the most elaborate of these
works.
But Thiers was not the man to choose
the quiet of an author's life. He took a
prominent part with Lafayette and others
in the coup d1 etat ' which overthrew
Charles X., nd became Minister of the
Interior under Louis Philippe, and after
wards Minister of Commerce and Public
Works. His energy and executive pow
er were marvellous, and fresh life was
infused into every department with
which he was connected. In 1836 he be
came Premier, but was soon forced to re
sign, only to be recalled again in a few
months. It was a critical time. The
King was unpopular and his throne un
stable, but with strange fatuity he re
fused heartily to support the only man
who could have saved his government.
Theirs again resigned, and resumed his
literary labors.
After the overthrow of Louis Philippe
in 1848$ Thiers opposed Louis Napoleon's
rise to power, and became so odious to
the latter that he was arrested at the
coup d'etat by which the President of the
Republic made himself the Emperor
Napoleon III. He was soon released,
and "after a few years' retirement made
his appearance in the Corps Legislatif as
the leader of a powerful opposition. His
services to France as President of the
Republic, after Napoleon's disastrous
war with Germany, are too recent to need
comment.
Thiers's well known preferences were of
a limited monarchy, like that of the Or
leans princes. But though a sincere
monarchist, he was above all things else
a patriot. This is the key to a political
history which would otherwise seem to
be that of a mere trimmer. France was
his idol, and for France he was monarch
ist, imperialist, and republican by turns.'
During the last years of his life he ac
cepted the Republic in good faith as
probably the best possible government
(for his country in its present condition.
And probably there was no other man in
all Jbrance to wnom so many eves were
turned, and in whom so many firmly
trusted.
"With little danger of exaggeration,
Thiers might one week ago have been
pronounced the greatest man in France,
if not in Europe. Others there were in
the Academy, of which he was a mem
ber, who had won greater laurels in liter
ature; there were men who had far out
stripped him at the bar; who had sur
passed him as an orator; who wielded
greater influence over the destinies of
Europe. But in the combination of the
man of betters and the man of affairs
as historian, lawyer, orator, statesman
there was not a man in ail France, there
were few in all Europe, who could be
called his peer. When we add to this
that his integrity was never called in
question even by his enemies, and that
he was a man of estimable private quali
ties, what wonder that he filled so many
high posts in the State, and filled them
with such honor to himself and such last
ing benefit to his country? "What won
der that all turned to him after the over
throw of the Commune, as the only man
who could create a new future for France?
What wonder that during the present
troubles, arising from President Mac
Mahon's arbitrary and revolutionary
measures, the hopes of Republican France
were centered in him?
The death of a leader in the very midst
of the shock of battle is always dis
heartening. The loss of such a leader is
almost equivalent to a defeat. Theirs
was unquestionably the chief obstacle to
the coup d'etat which there seems good
reason to believe the Marshal-President
is meditating. The Republicans 'are
numerically strong, but they lack a head.
Gambetta, though for a year or two he
has sobered wonderfully, is too erratic ;
he has not yet demonstrated his capacity
as a leader, or prove that he would be a
safe leader, if a capable one. There are
trying days for France in the near future
days in which she will need all the
wisdom, coolness, integrity and patriot
ism of a Thiers. It is in view of this
fact that we say the death of her greatest
man may prove to be not only a great
loss but a great calamity. N. Y. Ex

Patting a Bull to the Test.
They had a discussion over at Miller's
the other day about bulls. Mr. Miller
said that it was allnonsen3etotalk about
a bull being excited and made furious by
a red rag. He said he had an ugly-tempered
Devon bull over in the field who
would take it like a lamb if you would
stake the flags of all the nations in his
face. Dr. Robinson said that Miller
daren't try it, and Miller bet Robinson
that he would. So Miller went into the
house and loaded himself up with a red
flannel undershirt, and we all walked out
to the field. The bull was there, looking
as calm as a summer morning. Miller
climbed the fence, and went toward the
aainial, keeping the shirt behind him.
As he came close to the bull he suddenly
produced the shirt, and flirted it in the
bull's face. The beast jumped back a
yard or two in astonishment, and kept
his eye on Miller, while Miller waved the
old vermilion garment vigorously. Then
the bull shook his head several times, as
if he declined to have anytliinjr to do
with the business; and Miller turned to
ward us and put his thumb to his nose
id wiggled his fingers; while he was
making this signal of victory, an idea
seemed to strike the bull. He put his
head down and moved swiftlv forward.
Miller at first thought there had been an
earthquake. He was hurled up twenty
feet, and when hestruck the ground he
made another ascension. Upon his de
scent he though the would try to run. but
a Devon short-horn wa3 inserted in his
trousers, and again he went up high
enough to make a bird's-eye view of the
surrounding country. On the twenty
fifth descent he fell on the other side of
the fence from the bull, and we picked
him up. His clothes were in ribbons.
His nose was furled and bloody, and his
mouth was full of grass aDd mud.
We asked him how he felt; but he
said nothing. We inquired concerning
the condition of his bones, but he made
no reply. We asked if his views about
bulls had undergone any change, but he
walked silently along. We wanted to
know how he enjoyed the scenery the
last time he went up, but he would not
say. He merely went into, the house,
filled up both barrels of his gun with
old nails, and screws, and scraps of iron,
and then he went out to interview that
bull. The animal was a corpse in ten
minutes, and then Miller peeled his un
dershirt and went up stairs to bed.
We know what his views are bow, al
though he doesn't express them freely.

Children who have been the pets of
the house are almost invariably afflicted
with jealousy at the advent of a new baby.
A lady asked a little boy under these cir
cumstances how he liked his little sister.
"I don't think she agrees with me," he
replied.
"Why don't she agree with you?"
"I don't know," he said, "but I couldn't
bear to. see mother kiss her." .

To the Country Dealers of the Pacific Ceast:
Gjcxtlembk' For several months L have been sel
ling rav pure COMPP.ESSED COFFEE to the trade
through a general agency and Johbine driers, involv
ing two immediate protlts before the goods reached
the distributing trade. Under ordinary circumstances4
this plan would have been without serious objection,
but where so much competition in the way of adulter
ated coffees has to be met, 1 find that much against
my Inclination I shall have to deal directly with the
country trade In order to get my superior product Into
general consumption. By Imitating the example of
some others, I could easily afford to sell "coffee" at
as low prices, as could be named, but my ambition
Is to build a reputation on purity and excellence
alone.
My PURE COMPRESSED.COFFEE Is in no sense an
extract or preparation from coffee, but simply tfie
best coffee, carefully selected, roasted, ground and
compressed after a formula which at once fixes and
permanently retains all its exhilarating and refresh
ing qualities, among which are caffeint, its volatile
oils and astringent acids, which lose nearly if not
quite all their virtues before they reach the table ot
the consumer. In any of the old methods 0f preparing
coffee for Immediate use. This facfc Is well under
stood by experienced coffee men,, and tQ supply the
unavoidable deficiencies, chlccory, stale bread, rye,
certain barks and other foreign substancea.have been
added In the way of adulteration, until now the peo
ple scarcely know what pure coffee is. And with the
belief that dealers and the best class of consumers
will welcome and sustain me In my efforts. to supply a
pure, wholesome and delicious article I now offer- it
direct to the retail dealers at 32K cents a pound, cash,
no charge for cartaa This coffee is. an equal mix
ture of the very best Java and Costa Rica, and Is put
up In handsome style, under the brand of "MOCHA
QUALITY," and those who once use It will call for
no other. It is pure, 'rich, delicious and wholesome,
and always secures uniform excellence In the- coffee
made from It. Send six dollara and fifty cents for a
sample box of 20 pounds, and give your customers
something for which they will thank you.
