C) Petunias. All who have cultivated Petunias have seen flowers with a margin of green, more or less wide. The seeds are offered in all catalogues under the name of P. mar- :giaia. Several years ago we experimented with Petunias for the purpose of ascer taining how far they could, be improved by crossing and selection, an account of of some of the results of which was given in this paper at the time. For the second .year we obtained monstrous flowers, both as regards size and markings. The most striking of these were marked and the seeds (where perfected) saved. But the third season, instead of coming at all arue, or of being improvements in any .way upon their parents, they were all in ferior to those of the second season, and, concluding that little was to be gained by further experiments, we gave up Petu nia culture for that of other plants with which we had less to do. Among them, however, was a plant that -we watched with a good deal of interest. In early summer it bore flowers that, when spread out, measured seven inches across the throat of a lilac, veined with jurple, and the edges banded with green of varying widths. During early fall the green margin increased in width, until by late September the flowers were wholly rgreen. Those blooming still later were half corolla, half leaf, until at last a ro sette of green leaves alone indicated where the flowers ought to have devel oped. In several instances, impeifect -stamens and pistils were formed, sur rounded by crimped or ill-shaped leaves that were neither leaves nor petals. In others the stamens and pistils grew to gether, forming a stem which continued to grow out of the corolla the same as if there had been a flower. It is worthy of note that these green ilowered Petunias were wonders of vigor, the leaves and stems being twice, perhaps thrice, the size of the self-colored, blotched and striped varieties, and the .flowers comparatively very few. "What seem unusual phenomena in plant growth are by no means so rare as we suppose. Make a specialty of what -plant soever you will, and watch it close ly through the season, we will be very likely to observe peculiarities that would escape ordinary observations. Rural JNcw Yorlcer. Care of Harness. Pew farmers realize the care needed dn the proper preseivation of leather, and 4he lack of knowledge of its require ments causes the loss of many dollars to the owners of horses. The practice of washing harness in warm water is very -damaging, unless a coat of oil is applied immediately after washing. No harness is ever so soiled, that a damp sponge will not remove the dirt, yet, evtn when the sponge is applied, it is important to apply a slight coat of oil by the use of a second sponge. All varnishes and blacking that contain the properties of varnish should be avoided. "When a harness loses its lustre and turns brown, as almost any leather will do after long exposure to the air, the harness .should be given a new coat of grain black; first washing the grain surface thorough ly with potash water, to kill the grease, and after the grain black, applying oil and tallow to the surface. This will fast en the color and make the leather flexi ble. Neat's foot oil only should be used on harnesses, and no more should be applied to the leather than it will absorb, as many .harnesses are injured by apjflying too .much oil. A superabundance so applied works out to the surface in hot weather, absorbing dust and dirt and soon looking very slovenly. An excellent harness polish may be made by breaking in small .pieces four ounces of glue, pounng over it in a basin about a pint of vinegar, and letting it stand until it becomes sott. Take two ounces of gum in another vessel and pour in half a pint of black ink, letting it .stand until it is perfectly dissolved. Melt twodrachms of isinglass in a cup, with as .much water as will cover it. To mix the whole, turn the softened glue into a sauce pan over- a gentle fire, adding another half-pint of vinegar, stirring until per fectly dissolved, being careiul not to let it burn at the bottom nor reach the boil ing point. Next add the gum, and, after arriving at about the same heat, add the isinglass; then pour it out for use. Ap- ,ply a thin coat, suthciently heated to be iluid, with a piece of dry sponge, and if the article is dried quickly, either in the sun or by the fire, it will have a better polish. This answers equally well for boots and shoes. Uolemaiis Mural World. Raising Cucumbers. To make cu cumber viees grow and set freely with vfruit, the hill should be well watered mror-tr ovoninor AYf.pnt. in r wfit time. Thf cucumber plant needs a great deal of .moisture, and only when it is plentifully supplied will it yield a fair percentage of iruic m ueaiiuj wuuiuuu. ojj uusciva tion I found this plant to yield most .abundantly in wet seasons, and taking -such fact for a cue, resolved to test the .practice of watering the vines freely to insure a full crop, and find such practice resulting in ail one could wish to estab lish its efficacy. A Marylander tells me it is the custom at the South to plant vines along the -banks of a ravine or water course, so that an abundance of water can be obtained at all times to water the plants. In no other way do they expect a full crop. . In Switzerland, the law compels every newly-married couple to plant six trees immediately after the marriage ceremony, -and two on the birth of each child. Make It Two Dollars. Col. Orzo J. Dodds, late member of Congress from the fourth district of Ohio, tells a good story about a call he recently received at his office from a man who claimed to be an editor from Arkansas. He was a very seedy-looking chap, and appeared as though he had but recently come off a six weeks1 spree. Bowing profoundly, then striking an attitude, with one hand on his heart and the other extending a badly-used plug hat, he ex claimed with a 'dramatic air: "Have I the honor of addressing the Honorable Oi zo J. Dodds?" "My name is Dodds; but I am no longer an honorable," said the colonel. "Not an honorable? Dodds not an honorable? Now, by St. Paul, -when I see that honorable face on whom the gods seem to have set their seal ('Green Seal!' murmured Dodds to himself), I read nothing dishonorable." "That's right!" said Dodds; "never read anything dishonorable. But to business !" "Yes, as you say, to business. I am a printer I might say an editor.- I am from the State of Arkansas; the only State, by the way, able and willing to support two Governors at the same time. But I have been unfortunate! Much have I been tossed about by the ire of cruel Juno, and" "Juno know how it is yourself!" broke in the colonel. "Buffeted by the world's rude storms, you see me here a stranded wreck. Scarce three moons past I left my office in charge of my worthy foreman and sought the peaceful vales and calm rests of the Muskingum Valley, where my child hood sported. Returning, I stopped at Cincinnati. I fell into evil company, and but why dwell on details? Enough that I am that I am disheartened, ruined, broke! A mark for 'scorn to point her slow, unerring finger at! As I was about giving up in despair, having given up everything else that I had, 1 thought of you. Sir, I am here. You did not send for me, but I have come. Your name is known and honored- from one end of this great republic to the other. It . 'Glows on the stars, Refreshes the breeze, "Warms in the sun, And blossoms on the trees.' When the National Treasury was threat ened by a body of greedy Congressmen, you stood like a wall of adamant between the people and those infamous salary grabbers. Lend me a dollar!" "My dear sir," the colonel hastened to explain, "you mistake the case entirely! I was one of the grabbers." "You were!" grasping the - colonel's hand warmly. "So much the better. Let me congratulate you that a parsimoni ous public could not frighten you out of what was but a fair remuneration for your invaluable services. I am glad that your pecuniary circumstances are so much better than I supposed. Make it two!" And the colonel did. It was the only clear thins: for him to do. The Mennonites in Manitoba. The Mennonite reservation east of the Red River, and about twenty-five miles southeast ot Winnipeg, is now as well populated as any district of the'Province of Manitoba, and the most recent immi gration has been directed to a reservation of seventeen townships adjoining the frontier, and extending west of Red River to Pembina Mountain. The settlement on the reservation first mentioned, called Rat River, consists of 650 families, and on the second reservation,called Dufferin, 450 families have been planted. In ad dition thirty-three families have been set tled near Scratching River, and the re cent arrival of thirty-five families will go to Dufferin. Estimating five to a family, the Men nonite settlements of Manitoba contain a population of 5,805, which will doubt less increase steadily, but by no means with the volume of the past three years. The Mennonites who still remain in Southern Russia, though inclined to emi grate, in consequence of the termination of the stipulation exempting them from military services, -are not prepared to sac rifice their possessions. When they can sell without disadvantage they emigrate. The exodus is therefore likely to be grac ual, especially as the Russian Govern ment, while insisting on the right of con scription, assents readily to special as signments of service in deference to the Mennonite conscience such as transpor tation, forestry,and hospital service very much as the Quakers of the United States, during the late civil war, were subjected to military, service, but relieved from bearing arms. The emigrating class of Lutheran Quak ers, known as Mennonites, are neither the rich nor the poor, but are an interme diate body, who are, however, by no means destitute. Mr. Hespeler estimates that the sum brought into the province by the Mennonite immigration is $500, 000, and the recent arrival, of thirty-five families have not less than $10,000. There are Mennonite settlements in the Western States, but the land system there enforced does not admit of special reser vations, and Manitoba has thus been en abled to present greater inducements for this class of settlers. Here the commu nity can organize itself fully according to its traditions, including the rural viL lage life of the dorf or dorp, as we be lieve the word is anglicized a custom which has great merit socially and indus trially, and will warrant some fullness of detail. A group of families usually sixteen in number take their homesteads sepa rately,but proceed to throw them together, selecting the most desirable situation for a village or dorf, through which a street two chains wide is laid, and the plat divided into half acre lots, with as signments for church, school, or other public use. A tract most suitable for tillage is then selected in a block, which is inclosed, and within which each head of a family cultivates that portion of his allotment for there is no communism that he finds convenient. A hay meadow, held also in severalty, is chosen, and the remainder of the consolidated homesteads is used as a range for cattle and other animals, which are invariably attended by a herdsman who is paid by the dorf. The village lots and other subdivisions are distributed by lot. The houses only found in the dorf are comfortable, heated by central brick oven?, warming three or four looms. The same roof usually extends over separate lodgings for cattle, although in this re spect there is a growing tendency to have different tenements. Each family has a yoke of oxen, two cows aud indefi nite poultry. The pig is not wanting, and there are 500 sheep and 150 horses on the Rat River reservation. The municipal government is a simple democracy. The heads -of families an nually select a Mayor or Reeve, who is the chief executive officer, constantly conferring with his constituents. Over the whole community is a President or Elder, elected for five years, and who, associated with the Mayor of the dorfs, form a court for the final adjustment of all disputes and the enactment of all necessary ordinauces. The President may act in all matters relating to a separate village in concurrence with the Mayor thereof. The church organization is quite dis tinct from the civil administration. The people elect a clergyman in each dorf, and a Bishop to preside over the whole community for periods of five years. TLey receive no stipends. The teachers of the schools one held in each village are chosen by the people, but are paid a moderate compensation. Marriages are free no allotment as formerly among the Moravians and usually contracted early, the parties often remaining with the most prosperous of the parents for a year or two. The Mayor of a dorf, with two assist ants, constitutes an Orphan Court for the distribution of estates, and the custody of the funds of orphans, for which the property of every villager is liable; de ducting from the said orphan fund what ever contributions for the relief of the few destitute orphans may be found nec essary. For most of these interesting particu lars we are indebted to Mr. William Hes peler, Immigration Agent of the Domin ion of Canada, who ascertained in 1871, during a trip to Germany, that a Men nonite emigration to this continent was probable, and who visited Southern Rus sia in 1872. Upon his representations, and under his auspices, a delegation came to Manitoba in 1872, and selected the reservation near Rat River; and three years of activity and well directed effort have resulted in the colonization which is the subject of the present compilation. The average destruction of life in Great Britain from drowning, now reaches oyer 4,200 per annum. There is Danger Ahead When those usually active little organs, the kidneys, are neglectful of their duties and rov sluggish. Fatty degeneration, Bright's disease," diabetes, and other dangerous mala dies, are the result of neglect to remedy this inactivity by medicinal means. When the all important functions of the kidneys are imperfectly discharged, those organs need stimulating, and the best possible agent for that purpose since it performs its office without exciting them is Hostetter's Stom ach Bitters, which, in combination with its tonic and cathartic properties, possesses' val uable qualities as a diuretic. Both kidneys and bladder are strengthened by it, and the vi;or which it imparts'to them,. and the gen tle but effectual impulse which it gives to their operations, is the best possible guaran ty against their becoming diseased. The Bitters are invaluable in other respects as well as the above, since the' remedy general debility, uterine troubles, chills and fever, dyspepsia, constipation, gout, rheumatism, and other ailments. Physicians of high standing unhesitating ly give their indorsement to the use of the Graefenberg-Marshall's Catholicon for all fe male complaints. The weak and debilitated find wonderful relief from a constant use of this valuable remedy. Sold by all druggists. $1.50 per bottle. Purchasing Agency.

Its Manufacture is Sax Fraxcisco Ax Impor tant Home Industry Its Numerous Usks Des tixkd to Supplant Foreign Impoktatioxs The Pacihc Soda Co. Tiieir Office axd Fac toryThe Excellent Quality of t e Pro duct Tiie Supply Ample for the Market. From S. F. Journal of Commerce, Aug '3. Carbonate of BOda has been found for ages in the soda lakes of Egypt and Hungary, aud In other min eral waters. In the desert of Thaiat,west of the Delta, In Egypt, Is a pit twelve miles long and three-fourths of a mile In width, which Is filled In winter with a violet colored water live or six feet In depth. When this evaporates in summer it leaves an Incrustation of soda halfan Inch thick, which Is gathered and utilized by the natives. Carbonate of soda is used in glas blowing, soap making and bleaching. It is produced in large quantities In Nevada. Nevertheless there was Imported Into the United States during the past year over 3,000,UOO pounds. Sal sod. is an impure car bonate or soda. A carbonate is a salt mixed with a babe, and forms a carbonate of soda. Salcratus is a carbonate of potash, aud contains a large quantity of carbonic acid. It is used extensively for cooking cakes, etc. BI-CAltBOXATE Of soda contains two equivalents or carbonic ncld to one base a supercarbonate and U obtained by pa-s-lng carbonic acid into a strong aqueous solution of crystallized carbonate of sodj. Ui-carbonate is ued largely among farmers, and all households, fur cook lug purposes-, with yeast pow.er, etc. Forn.erly this ai tide was importei almost exclusively fom Eng land, whence it still comes to our coabt in large quan tities. But until recently the soua produeli g regions or the Pacific coast have been comparatively neglect ed, aud hence our dependence on a lorelgnsupph At length, however, capitalists and manuiactu era a.e awake to the importance of meeting our demands nearer houie. and saving duties, freights ana handling expenses. Within a few .weeks, alter numerous ex periments and a heavy outlay iu titling up manufac turing works, THE PACIFIC SODA CO. Have come into possession of the secret of producing bi-carbonate or soda equal to the most superior im portat.ous aud at much less expense. And because of the excellent quality or their production, aud their ability to put it on the market much lower than the ruling rat s lor foreign imports, this i ompauy are fully determined that no ou.side supply shall be able to compete with them, but shall ultima ely be exclud ed from tliis market, supplanted by our own home manufacture. This will De a great gain to consume s among our own people, aud tue foreign production will turn elsewhere lor a market. Tue Pacific Soda Co. is A STOCK COMPANY, And has 2,500 shares at a par value of $100, or $.50 000 Aaron Doud, wlu has been, in business in this city the past:!! years, is the President, and Wm. li. Chaiieeis Secretary. Mi. J. S. Doc is trie Treasurer and princi pal owner ofthc stock aud property, and is well known to the busiuess oommuui y la connection with the sash and door buiiue&s, in which he has been en gaged in this city on a large scale for more than a quarter of a century. The company have their ofilce and samples at 109 California street, and their factory on .Berry street, between Fourth aud Fifth. It is now three years since they started the business, but only recently that they have perfected arrangenie ts lor the production of a pure bi-caruonate of soua. Ine company own 160 acres of land In Churchill county, Nevada, 20 miles from Wadsworih. On this laud L a nai oi n acres in uasiu-iiKe lorm, surrouuded by high bluffs. In the center of the flat are two or three acres of WARM SPRIXGS, From which the soda is obtained. Xatural vats, or trenches, are dug aud flhed with water, which the warm winds of summer, with the thermometer at lou degrees, cause to evaporate. leaving the crystallized sod i, which is pulverized by stirring, put into sack and brought to our city, where it is sold by the Ne vada Compa.iy all of whose property now belongs to Mr. J. S. Due to the Pacific Soua Co., In which he is also tne principal stockowner. The sacks then go to the lactory on Berry street, where they are stored for re duction. Mr. Dee recently seuta large quantity ot" the crude soda to England to he tested, aud it was sj pure the manufacturers could hardly believe it genuine. THE FACTORY Is 10x120 feet and two stories. It contains an engine, 31 vats and a gas chamber in which the bl-carbouate is produced from the crystallized by the injection of gas. The company now have facilities for turning out 30 tons of bi-carbonate monthly, exclusive of other productions of carbonate of soda, etc., and they are prepared to increase their operations according to the demand. At present they employ about $1S,C00 capi tal in the manufacture. Up btatrs the first room is devoted to putting up the bl-carbouate in packages and boxing lor the market. Here al&o are the labels, stencils, etc. Back of this Is the testing room, and in the rear the drying room. Outside the. factory are numerous hogsheads filled with ash of boda. Near by are piles of limestone and coke, used for It atlng pur poses. The process of CRYSTALLIZATION Of the soda is very interesting to observe. The pieces are often of Very lantastic formation in the vats, and the edges are smooth, pointed aud fretted. At present from 25 to 20 tons of bl-carbouate of soda are Uaed moi-thly la Sau Francisco, and it Is not d i tilt ult to perceive what a saving there must be to the consum ers when this is obtained at a much less cost than the loreigu article and just as good. Of course siine bi carbonate manufacturer have greatly injured the trade in the local production by the use or adultera tions, which have reduced the percentage to about 70 Thus by increasing the quantity, regardless of the quality, they have been able to undersell the foreign genuine article. This, however, is very shortsighted policy. But now the Pacific Soda Co. produce the pure bi-carbouate of soda at a less cost than the for eign or domestic adulterations. The company manu facture SAL SODA, Soda ash, yeast powder, washing powder, salcratus, carbonate of soda, bi-carbomite of soda, eic, and promptly fill all orders. Some dealers have been limid about patronizing a home industry like this soda production lest it should prove a failure by tne time It was fully introduced. But the Pacific So la Co. will be permanent, and has ample capital and business cap ic ily to back and sustain it. Therefore merchants need have no hesitation about sending their orders to this firm. And those doing so express themselves highly gratified and satisfied with the quality of the produc tion. g Fall styles of "Domestic" Paper Fashions new and beautiful jdeslgns".
