Yunnan—Flannel, if worn during the day, should be taken off at night. In summer it allows the perspiration to pass 06 without condensing upon the skin, and prevents the evil effects of the rapid changes of temperature to which we are liable in our changeable climate when out-of-doors. In winter as a non-conductor of heat it is a protection against cold. At night the ﬂannel jacket orjersey should be exposed to a frm current of air, and allowed thoroughly to dry: should never be put in a heap of clothes by the bedside. Ihs'rxa Hoes. ac.—As Easter is approaching, we give a apitai receipt for coloring eggs, which will please the little (men. Get some narrow colored ribbons and with them bind the eggs completely and tastefully round, then. after having properly secured the ends of the ribbons to prevent their getting loose, boil the same for about ten minutes, and the object will be effected. If the eggs were afterward varnished it would add much to the beauty of their appearance. A SIMPLE Rsxrnr roa Foor SPRAINS.—Siido the ﬁngers under the foot, and, having greased both thumbs, press them successively with increasing force over the painful parts for about a quarter of an hour. The application should be repeated several times. or until the patient is able to walk.

Clear away all decayed leaves, rubbish, &c., then rake the bed evenly and smooth. Roses may be planted any time this month that the weather will permit; in fact, if some roses are planted every ten days till the middle of May, there will be an almost constant succession of bloom gained. as in this way the bloom of those planted later is retarded somewhat, though the earlier planting will be the most successful, and ﬂower in greater perfection. Flowers in the House should have plenty of air at all favorable opportunities. particularly about the latter part of the month. if the weather gets warm. but they must be carefully guarded from all sudden changes. and from cold, cutting winds. Pots should all be well looked over, and re ccive water where it is necessary, taking care to give it in
