STARTING EARLY VEGETABLES. Those whp .luiy e . In >f beds and greenVO'toc* do not find it difiicufr to got a good supply of early vegetable plants ready by the time they hre wanted for setting out in the garden'. But there ore tnaur thousands of fanii(i#v who do hot possess these conveniences, and still ure just us anxious to start some plants before the time arrives for sowing seeds in the garden. It is often remarked by those who write about gardening that every one who owns a garden should have a few hotbed wishes j and while we. admit that they lire very convenient and useful thing*, it is not every person who c&tiaiibrd them, even if the sashes do not cost more than $2 or $3 each. 4 lit lie hotbed sash and frnmoKu.ro not at hand, a few vegetable seeds may be sown in shallow boxes or pots * in the house, and set in the windows, where the plants- will have light and warmth. / :'- 5 On warm days' the boxes of plants should bfi carried out of doors, where the? will-get more air and be gradually hardened or accustomed to the change which they will. undergo when set out in the garden. 4 Many person* fail to raise stocky and heulthy plants in this way, because tlitey sow the seed too thickly nnd then neglect to transplant

the seedlings when young. As soon as BmBo plaiftaUirejiu.indh or two high. I icy should be traiisplan ted from the boxes in which the seed was sown into others provided for the pupose, and in j doing this allow sufficient space to permit a good stocky growth. The boxes may not be more than three or four inches deep, and of a size convenient to handle or set on the window sill. It is also a good plan to pinch off the top leaves of tUo plants when three or four j inches high, as this will make them 1 throw out side branches, atid* prevent tli,uir becoming too tall and slender. N6t only can earl/ vegetables he startmi in this way , hut many kinds of flowering plants, such as verbcnus, zinnias, phloxes, ami aster*, besides cuttings in boxes and sand, with no greater heat ' than will be supplied in *nn ordinary ! living room. In the South all these ' \\i\mr* ivo now "-owing in tin.- garden, | -v, ** ?r, .v--- * " • that can bo safely set out in the way of ! tender plants before the first to the ' middle of May, which is several weeks* hence. if any of our readers had sufficient forethought last Fall to put in a few cut- ; tings of their best lomatos and keep J them over Winter, they will now find tlioni very handy for propagation, unci ' from these they can raise a better and \ more prolific, stock than pan ho usually obtained from seed. Cuttings of the green shoofs, with the lower leaves re»

moved, set ill. shallow boxes or pots filled with pure sand, will usually strike ^root in a week, if kept in a moderately warm room : and plants ruiscd from i such cuttings- come into fruit almost 1 from the very start ; and for this reason wo much prefer them to seedlit^g*. ^In addition 10 increased productiveness, one is always eertniu of perpetuating by j cuttings any variety selected for this j purpose, which is rnoro than can be said of the seedlings raised from tlie vciy Wst selected fri^it. Wo do not tliink there ire many of our gardeners who practice raising tomato plants from cuttings but it Is an exeelh nt method where early and prolific plats are nimble, and especially in Northern foCrtlitios, whore the s*»asons nrc short, I and ripe tomatos are seldom obtained . until lute in .Summer. If those who ! make a practice of purchasing their j tomato plants of gardener* in thc Rpring ' would ask for those raised from cuttings, | Vttfl l>e willing to pay a slight advance in price, there need be no difficulty in abtainhig thorn, and in any quantities as noon as it is known that such stock will bo called for. — N.

Fla/SK (iodp.vi.p^ A SOUTH AMERICAN CURIOSITY. VISIT TO T1IE DKS OF A UIMZIblAN ANTII I! A It — 'ITA AI'J'KAK AN'C K A"N D li.NlilT.V A note was rccioved at tlie New York Wuiti.n office recently, reading : — -pome and see a remarkable curiosity at the Aquarium." The reimrter who answered this call walked along through straw nnd tvas just about to put his feet down into, what uppenred to be a bundle of old liny when the proprietor observed : — ''That's the curiosity— dout >• step on i it." The hay began to move with much ; deliberation, nnd there was slowly elevated" a long, wide fan, which went to the roar to serve nM a tail. ''That animal," said its proprietor, Charles Keiche,"in nn ant-bear." The bear rose on its legs, showing n wonderfully elongated and narrmv head. It is .thickly covered with long coarse hair, which on tho tail ishalf-way hotween the filaments of a heavy plume and the sticks, or a fan. The tail is used by tho bear with commendat)le.ingeiiui|y as a blanket, being for that pur]>ose brought nrouifd a halfcitxdp and spread just sufficiently to entirely cover tlie body.' -Beaide# serving as a cover for warmth it hides the

animal. IIim|er« not jweuKtomed to a€.

The ♦ • , • throat is very black, and at long.triangular, black mark crosses the animal from the throat, passing obliquely over the shoulders. Measuring front the hip of | the snout to the end of the tail, the bear ! ! is just a trifle, more thun,<> feet in length, j The head alone is 1} and the tail 2 feet • long. The bear has four toe# ' on the ! fbre-foet and five 011 the hinder feet. ! 1 \ . • • j The claws on the fore-feet a 11* extremely : long and curved and of no use in walk- ; ing. They arc used us a means of defense against stronger animals. If they once | are implanted in tho flesh of a human j being, tho wound is apt to prove fatal. ! They are mW also not to coipe out, so - £7- ^ I J10 desires m. The bear has found that the safest way is to wind its snake-like head around the body of its fot*. Its hug is particularly |H»werful. Tho bear turned its claws inward upon a thick, ; rough palm, and walked 011 tho outer edge of the fore-foot in a lazv, awkward .manner to a box two fofttiwoy.i j only indication of intelligence it dis- ] ! played was in scraping away the straw for a bod. ; It cannot walk long.

'I'liere is a society snobbery, a business snobbery apd a literary siiobberj*. but the greatest and most loathsome, of the three is the

latter. Trying to pass 111 the intallectual market for about twice what one is worth " is 6ud onoliglT ' ' 1 IT mi C011W:lence, nut aping the style and putting <m the airs of iijiper teudom by t!ie small fry is worse.. But there is a certain kind of snobbery that prevails among poopfr with a good deal of money but few bruins, which crops out iu the use of big words and high flown sentences, in imitation of the scientific and cultured ; nomenclature of the schools. These ; j people with inflated purses but contract- j I ed intellects flatter themselves thut the | | common expressions of our good old \ i Saxon tongue are unfashionable and, indicate Country breeding, so they bring • 1 into their conversation word synonyms i i of prodigious and almost un pronounce- j i able length. A case in point is the extra fine gentleman who feared to be cohsid- , ercd "vulgar" it} thi* Society sense of the i word, and wishing to use tlie well known i proverb, "Nmuil tsrO*** - mid r— [ hfli;r' Tfi-kji. .. .. . .r- - "jMtlito" and learned sentence, most Fearfully and wonderfully made from tho dictionary : ".Diminutive tuber* and sparse 'in the mundane elevation.'! Having relieved himself of this piece of b(H>ki»hness, he doubtless frit that lie was qualified to be a companion of j Herbert Spencer, or the author of I "proverbial Philosophy."* Conciseness* of expression nnd clearness of utterance is the gifr of genius and the result of practice. Wordiness, high flown nnd i

uncommon phraseology, belongs to the snobs who expect to lx> glorified in this world, and immortalized in the world m j come, for their indiscriminate and i unpardonable use of Welister.
