AN ADMIRABLE ARRANGEMENTS An
excellent apparatus for informing travel
lers of the names of stations is used on
the cars of the Ogdensburg and Lake
Champlain railroad. 1t consists exter-
nally of a box, surmounted by a bell,
and having glass plate in front, under
which the name of station appears in
letters of about three inches in length.
When the train arrives at the station
named on the Indicator, the bell on top
of the box rings and presently the name
of the next station on the line appears
under the glass plate. This plan ought
to be adopted on all railroads. Itwould
save passengers anxiety, and conductors
much trouble.

How To RAISE ONIoNs.-The ques-
ton has been hereabouts. How to raise
onions \ man at West Concord thinks
he has this year solved the problem. He
lid not sow the seed until the 10Th OF
June. and he has raised a fine crop.
His theory Is that the maggot fly, which
Is the cause of the failure of the onion
crop in all these years, does not work
after certain time, and that if onions
are not eown before the middle of June
they will escape the ravages of this fly.
1t is worth trying.

time has arrived, every farmer should
remember that III their preservation it Is

cluded from light. They should be
placed in complete darkness the day they
are taken from the ground. A good way

II heard an excellent story told the

the identity of the old democratic party
with that ui modern times. II was SAID
by this man who told the story that in Il
certain family they had vinegar barrel
that had remained for several generation,
in the family, and they had Il great ven
Grafton tor it. 1t WAS grandiathcr's vim
cgar barrel, and they all rcverenccd it,.
But by-and-by the hoops had become
rotten, and they were renewed, and the
heads and the slaves had given away.
and they Were replaced; and finally AN
inquiry was set OH foot rs to the identity
of this barrel with "randfather's old vim
egar barrel, and, after strict cxanina-
ton, he SAID the only thing that remain
ell OF grandfather's old vinegar barrel.

that is just about as much identity a,
there is between the modern democratic
party and that of the cid time
