We select, for tho benefit Of our lady
readers, the following instructions up
on the culture Of winter gardens:
Do not attempt -toa aultiyate too
many plants, remembering that one
strong. g.handanme-shaped healthy plant
is worth more than ten Or Twelve sick
ly things that are lank, scraggy and
never blossom.
Give your plants the morning sun
shine. It Is far better than the after
noon, and If the windows open both
to the east and southwest, so much the
better for the plants at both windows.
Yet, If no other location can be pro-
cured, the afternoon sun is better than
none at all.
Never use glazed pots, or crockery
and painted ware, unless the common
pots are set into them for ornamental
purposes.
Stimulate once a week with some
one of the various liquid manures.-
Avoid extremes of cold and heat, and
give all the air that Is allowable, ac-
cording to the temperature ont OF
doors.
Sprinkling must be given once a
day. Ifthe pots are thoroughly wash
ed with soapsuds all tendency to green
mold will be prevented.
Make the water that is given warm
er now than in summer. Put your
finger into the saucer snd see how cold
it Is when it drains through the out.
let, and If quite cold give water OF
greater warmth.
CULTURE OF TULIps. The tulip il
SO perfectly hardy, flourishes so well
under the most ordinary care, and is SO
varied and brilliant, that it never fails
to give the greatest satisfaction.
Any good garden soil will do for the
tulip. A rich soil is not necessary,
though well-rotted mature, rotted sods
or leaf naold may be applied when the
earth Is poor; see that the drainage il
good before planting. Plant In Oc.
t0ber and November. Make the soil
flne and deep. Set the early flower.
ing kinds i've inches apart, and the
late varieties six inches. Cover three
inches deep.

not see Efle's face, but observed that
she. tremblcd violently.
She and the bridegroom, with their
attendants, took their places. The
minister advanced to speak the words
which were to place an impossible
barrier between me and my life's OBJ
ject. A turn of the bridegroom's head
enabled me to catch glimpse Of his
features. He acas the same man rho
had attempted my life. However faith.
less Efffe had proved, Icould not look
on and behold her bound to a fate like
that.
"This must proceed no turther," l
exclaimed, advancing and facing the
nuptial pair.

though he had seen a ghost. He may
have thought me one, for he had left
me for dead that night.
Ef1c's face was as pale as death.

"Oh say you have come to save
me |" she cried In tones that stirred my
heart to Its depths.
"Save you from what?" l asked
sternly. "Are you not here of your

The official votes in Iowa for two
years past furnish a short lesson
worthy of little study.
In 1872 the total republican vote on
Secretary of State was 1885. This
year the total republican vote for
Judge Beck was lO6,267, showing a
falling of of 26,12s votes, between this
and last years vote.
On the other hand the democratic
vote of 1872 was 72,627, and this year
the Fusion vote is s1,546, or gain for
the Fusion ticket of 5,9l9.
If we were to consider that this gain
was acquired by change Of republi-
cans to the Fusion ticket, then does
this change only amount to a little less
than six thousand. 1t is our opinion
that the republican Grangers who vo-
ted the Fusion ticket are greater In
numbers than this (say ten thousand)
because many democrats, we are sat-
isfied did not vote. AT all events this
lesson shows that the republican vote
was not cast in full, that about one
sixth of these voters did not 60 to the
polls. Had the republican vote been
out this year as last, our majority
would have then been even with the
increased Fusion vote hfty-one thous.
and. Allowing falling OF Of eleven
thousand republican votes o. between
this year and last, which was the Pres.
idential year, and the republican ma
jority would still have been forty
thousand.
The OF year In politics can only 90.
count for part Of this loss. We mus
in our best judgment lay this loss d
the door Of those foolish, selfish, not te
say unprincipled, republican congress,
man who supported the back salary
bill In congress.

And In this connection
I'm struck with somewhat curi0us reflection
1t is this Why do the laws prevent poker;
And sweat-b0ards, and finding the little Joke
And penny .ante,
And three-card monte,
And faro, keno, and roulette
At which small rogues living get,
And even Danish from out the land
The game All Sin did not understand,
Yet wink at Wall streets manipulations
OF stocks and bonds, and allow the bears
And bulls TO raise or sink the nations
Credit at will, gambling on shares,
And puts and calls,
And longs and shorts,
And rises and falls,
And risks Of all sorts I?
And why, when financial crash comes on
And inflated stocks to their level 60,
Aud cashiers finG their accounts Overdrawn
To the tune Of a hundred thousand or so,-
Why, since this thing IL no longer rarity.
Should the newspapers call 1t an irregularity
With small thieves it's not so:
Let poor deyil 60,
And purloln loaf when In need of meal:
And the newgpapers call It Q regular steal"
And the cashier goes at largo on bail,
While the impecunious thief goes to fall.
