J.  E.,  EhdhtjHlle,  Iml. — Tho or  rrasrp*? 
is  tho  amount  a  c(>mpany  is  required  by  law  to 
place  to  the  credit  of  a  policy.  The  aurnwlri' 
value  is  the  price  a  company  will  pay  to  bo  ro- 
leased  from  its  bargain.  Homo  companies  in¬ 
dorse  this  >'aluo  on  their  policies  ;  others  hare  a 
fixed  rule  for  calculating  it.  The  company  yoit 
mention  appears  to  act  very  illiberally  in  this  re¬ 
gard  and  to  have  no  rulo  whatever  tliat  wo  have 
been  able  to  discover.  Tho  value  of  No. 
was,  ou  the  Inst  anniversary  of  its  issue,  *117.79; 
on  tho  next  it  will  bo  $177.03.  Valun  of  No. 
22.025,  anniversary  of  this  year,  $11.51,  and  for 
additions,  $13,94  :  and  the  next  will  bo  ■$-lH.5]. 
Value  of  No.  22,l)2(!,  this  year,  $225.88  ;  next 
year,  $232.40.  Tho  amount  of  outstanding  loans 
or  notes  being  in  each  oa.se  deducted,  tho  remain¬ 
der  will  ho  tho  cash  reserve. 
(limnlry  Boy. — The  Lcatlier*woo<l  or  Moose- 
wood  (Dh'i'a.  palnslrit')  foninl  in  our  Nortliei'U 
woods  is  qtiito  a  pretty  ornamental  shrub,  but 
its  bright,  orangc-coloi'od  horrles  are  poisonous, 
and  children  should  I)0  taught  not  to  put  them 
in  their  moutlis,  iijuoh  loss  to  swallow  tho  juice 
or  seeds.  Tho  bark  of  this  sliriib  is  also  said  to 
cause  reduoss  and  veHio.ati(m  wbou  applied  to 
the  skin,  and  sores  made  by  it  are  diflicnlt  to 
bcal. 
Nwb.sm'her.— 'riio  roeipo  for  making  an  irri- 
tatiug  plaster  appeared  in  tho  llonAr.  of  Jan.  15 
tho  present  your.  Tho  ono  ingredient  named  as 
'Tike-root”  must,  wo  tljink,  have  been  a  mis¬ 
print  and  intouJed  to  lie  Poke-root  (Phy/olncca 
fltraiidra'),  as  wo  do  not  know  of  any  plant  by 
the  namo  of  “rike."  Tho  plaster,  however, 
would  probably  bo  just  as  efllcacious  vdthout  tho 
I’olco-root  as  with  it,  hocauso  it  does  not  possess 
vesicatory  properties  like  the  Indian  Turnip, 
whioli  was  also  named  in  the  recipe  reforrod  to.

over,  with  many  branohoa. 
[The  above  siieclrnon  waa  so  crushed  that  we 
could  tell  nothing  about  it.  Our  correspondent 
accordingly  was  requested  to  forw’ard  anotlier  in 
a  box,  to  which  ho  kindly  ropUod  as  follows. — 
Ed.] 
I  send  herewith  a  small  l-ox,  as  you  kimlly 
suggested,  containing  a  sample  of  tlie  plants  fur 
wliich  I  deairod  the  tnic  namo.  I  tiinl  it  liiflicult 
to  obtain  good  spocimena  so  lato  in  tlio  season, 
but  those  1  send  funiiah  tho  flower  (which  you 
Bill  iierceivo  i.s  quite  small),  also  seed  pods,  and, 
I  tliink,  some  ripe  seeds.  It  is,  perhaps,  not 
properly  a  taw,  at  least  i.i  not  a  twiiuT,  Imt  still 
socks  support  from  other  bodies,  and  in  such 
cases  I  have  know*  it  to  attain  a  growth  of  two 
or  three  foot.  Otlmrwiso  it  falls  to  tho  ground. 
We  have  found  it  very  useful  as  a  trinuuing  to 
bouquets.  Indeed,  for  this  use  wo  have  consid¬ 
ered  it  almost  indispcn.sablo.  I  am  nniible  to 
Bay  whether  it  is  indigenous  or  exotic,  or 
whoro  J  first  obtained  it.  Whore  it  has  onco 
boon  introduced  it  retains  a  ponnanent  footing, 
but  is  not  diflicull  h*  eradicato.  A.vs. — Ewinaria 
oflieinalis.  It  is  clo.''e  to  Mountain  ITingo 
(^Adluwia  I'irrlumi)  and,  indeed,  <iuito  rosemblcs 
it.  Introduced  from  Europe. 
^fr.<t,  J.  P.  II.,  Gosht'n,  And.  — I'lcaso  give  in 
the  UoHAL  some  account  of  lldtisous  graiidiflora. 
Is  it  hardy  Will  a  small  Otio  bo  likoly  to  live  if 
put  out  tills  fall?  Botany  says  it  is  hardy,  but 
some  of  my  friends  think  it  a  house  plant.  Any 
lufonuation  will  much  oblige.  Ans. — Ves,  tho 
II.  grandillora  grows  wild  in  Southern  iUiuois 
and  Southern  Oldo,  and  is  hardy  iii  most  if  not 
all  tho  Nortlicni  States.  But  thero  are  many 
tondor  exotic  species  cultivated  iu  groeuhousos. 
W'.  JL  ,4. — I  send  you  to-day  a  hox  containing 
three  beetles  of  some  sort,  packed  in  sawdust. 
They  are  now  alive,  hut  may  not  bo  whoa  you 
get  them.  I  foimd  them  ou  my  quince  trees. 
What  aro  they?  I  thought  perhaps  they  might 
ho  the  quince  curoulio.  — Tho  small  beetles 
about  a  half  inch  long,  of  a  yellowish  color,  cov¬ 
ered  with  short  hairs,  aro  tbo  Atiioricaii  Gelonia, 
or  as  now  classified  hi  bur  entomological  works, 
Euryomia  Itula.  It  belongs  to  the  same  great 
family  of  insects  as  our  common  May  beetle,  and 
it  is  frequently  found  eating  tho  silk  from  corn, 
boring  into  ripening  peaches  and  otlier  fniits. 
It  is  not  allied  to  tho  quince  or  other  species  of 
curculio, 
W  heat  Groicer. — To  keep  Avoovils  from  seed- 
wheat,  pul  it  ill  tight  ban-cis  mixing  ia  a  half 
1)011  ud  of  gum-camphor  broken  uji  into  small 
lumps,  then  head  up  tight ;  a  little  beuxoin  poured 
into  the  barrels  will  also  answer  tho  same  purpose, 
hill  tho  fumes  are  more  likely  to  pass  off  sooner 
thim  those  of  the  camphor. 
PlmUigrapher, — ^We  do  not  oiuloavor  to  keep 
informed  iu  regard  to  the  in’Ogross  of  tho  pho- 
lOgrapliio  art,  but  the  largest  picture  from  a  sin- 
glo  negative  which  we  remember  of  noticing  a 
description  of  was  token  in  New  South  Wales  by 
oue  Ualteuman,  a  gold  miner.  This  picture  is 
five  feet  by  three  feet  two  inches,  and  i.s  de¬ 
scribed  as  being  very  perfect.
