EARLY ToMATogs. = When tomato
planting comes round, people often have
a great run around to get plants, when
it is very easy to have all we need with
out much trouble. They are very easy
grown as window plants. Small soap
boxes, cut in half 50 as to make them
shallow, and holes bored in the bottom
SO as to allow the surplus moisture to es-
cape, make excellent vessels for raising
plants. After 50 doing they can be put
in any dark place. In few days they
will spfout, and then they can be put in
the window, where the suns light can
fall on them. As they come up and
grow thickly. they can be thinned; and
the plants drawn out, set in another box,
if good quantity is desired. Few or
binary gardens, however, need more
than hundred plants, and these an or
binary soap box, such as we have de-
scribed, will hold very well till the time
of planting arrives The tomato is east
ly grown as window plant, and in this
way everybody can have plants without
the trouble of hunting for them. Nary

HOW THEY DROP SHOT.

A reporter Of Baltimore thus describes
one of the many processes of making shot
in one of the shot-towers Of that city:
Zone Of the secrets Of the manufacture
is the mixing of the lead with certain
proportion of combination Of miner
al substances called temper The tenn
per is fused with the lead, and gives the
motion metal that consistency which
makes it drop. and without which the
lead world be moulded by the stove, and
would form little, pencils instead ofround
shot. When b b shot, for instance,
are to be made, the lead is poured into
pan perforated with holes corresponding
to that size.
The little pellets como. pouring in
continuous shower, and fall into tank
filled with water on the the ground floor
In their descent of two hundred feet they
become perfect spheres, firm and dense,
and they are tolerable cool when they
strike the water, althogh the swftcon
sions make the tank foam and bubble as
if the water was. boiling furiously. The
shot must fall in the water, for if they
would strike any firm substance they
would be aattened and knocked out of
shape. To get the pellets perfectly dry
after they have been in the well is the
most difficult and troublesome process of
the whole manufacture.
An elevator with small buckets, Every
much like those used in -four mills) car
rics the shot up as fast as they reach the
bottom of the well and deposits them in
box sixty feet above the first floor. The
water drips from the buckets as they go
up, and not much is poured in the
receiver above, although it it intended
80 be sort of dripping machine. From
this receiver the shot runs down spout
into drying pan, which greatly resembles
gigantic shoe, made sheet of iron.
The pan rets at an angle, which permits
the wet shot to roll slowly down to the
chamber below, and the pellets become
perfectly dry as they pass over the warm
shcet-iron."

THOUGHTS FOR VOTERS.

The Connecticut GOuraRt, that staid
and reliable old journal, closes up a long
article as to "Parties and Partisans,"
which to us seems very sensible, and
from which we make the following ex-
tract, and commend it especially to those
Republicans who are almost persuaded
TO break ranks because, occasionally,
the grand old party makes a Iaistake and
charges its opponent with few of its
camp followers and bummers In front
Stick to the party and to the text The
CoarGRt says:
"Yet, not withstanding this era of par
tisanship-this boosting of Democrats of
the ward school of politics into positions
of honor and trust-there are some men
who do not call themselves Democrats,
and never will probably, who with hon
est convictions are helping the parry
along in its selfish career for the sake of
''rebuking" somebody. They will come
to their senses as time wears on, and
they are forced TO see the mischief they
are doing, but it seems TO be useless to
discuss the question with them until they
see for themselves. They are needed in
the Republican party, where they prop
erly belong, because they can be of ser
vice in assisting to put that party right
wherever it is wrong. The course OF the
Democracy will surely bring all reflect
ing men back sooner or later, and the
policy of the Republican party should
be such as 20 win them back without
delay. 1t is important to the country
that this partisan raid should have a
short career; it means no good to legis-
lation, State or National, and may bring
upon the country grave and lasting evils.
The Republican party, to triumph in the
next Presidential contest, must heed the
counsels of prudent men rather than
suffer itself to be led away by the hasty
advice of extremists There must be
conciliatory action within the party; a
firm adherence to strictly constitutional
measures; no Endorsement of admins
trative acts merely because the admins
tration is Republican; appropriation of
what is right and condemnation of what
is wrong in President or subordinates;
and finally the party must have a wise
regard always for the great principles
under which it has lived and has so no.
bly, succeeded since it sprang into exist
ence as the forerunner of victory
which saved the Union. To block the
way against the partisanship of the Dem
ocratic party we must not be so severely
partisan ourselves that we shall drive
from oursupport men who love the ideas
OF the Republican party, but are distrust-
full of its leadership in many cases. We
need all the good and true and intelli
gent help we can get, and the country
needs it, to check the progress of a party
that relies chiefly for success upon the
ignorance and passion of a majority of
its followers"

MORAL COURAGE IN DAILY LIFE.

'Moral Courage" was printed in large

while you have the money in your pock

Have the courage to do without that
which you do not need, however much
your eyes may coyet it.
Have the courage to speak to friend
in a seedy coat, even though you are in
company with rich one, and richly at

so. and hold your tongue when it is pru-

Have the courage to own that you are
poor, and thus disarm poverty of its

you will not lend him your money.

THE TWO ANGELS.
BY JOHN G.. WHITTIER.

God called the nearest angels who dwell with
Him above;
The tenderest one was Pity, the dearest one
was Love.
Arise, he said, my angels,a wall of woe
and sin
Steals through the gates of heaven, and
saddens all within.
MY harps take up the mOurnful strain that
from a lost world swells,
The smoke of torment clouds the light that
blights the asphOdels.
ely downward to that under world, and on
its souls of pain
Let Love drop smiles like sunshine, and
Pity tears like rainl'
in their golden hair;
Four white wings lessened swiftly down the
dark abyss of air.
The way was strange the flight was long; at
last the angels came
Where swung the lost and neither world red
wrapped in rayless flame.
There Pity, shuddering, wept, but love with
faith too strong for fear
Took heart from Gods almightiness and
smiled a smile of cheer.
And 10! that tear of Pity quenched the flame
whereOn it fell,
And, with the sunshine of TIE smile, hope
entered into hell
Two unvailed faces full of joy looked up
ward to the Throne,
Four white wings folded at the feet of Him
who sat thereOni
And deeper than the sound of seas, more
soft than falling flake,
Amid the hush OF wirg and song the Voice
Eternal spake:
Welcome, my angeisi ye have brought
holier Joy to heaven;
Henceforth its sweetest song shall be the
song of sin fOrgiven"

SOMEBODY'S SERVANT GIRL.

She stood there leaning YEARLY
Against the window frame;
Her face was patient, sad and sweet.
Her garments coarse and plain;
wi no is she, pray:' | asked friend,
The red lips gave curl
Really! | do not know her name,
She's some ones servant girl
Again | saw her on the street
With bundle trudge along,
Her face was sweet and patient still,
Amid the jOstling throng;
Slowly but cheerfully she moved,
Guarding with watchful care
4 market-baSket much too large
For her slight hands TO bear.
A man, thought gentleman,
Went pushing rudely by,
Sweeping the basket from her hands,
But turning not his eye;
For there is no necessity,
Amid that busy whiri,
For him to be a gentleman,
To 'some ones servant girl"
All, well it is that God above,
Looks in upon the heart,
And never judges any one,
By just the outer part!
For if the soul be pure and good,
He will not mind the rest,
Nor question what the garments were
In which the form was dressed.
And many man and woman fair
By fortune reared and fed,
Who will not mingle here below
With those who earn their bread;
When they have passed away from life
Beyond the gates of pearl,
Will meet before their Fathers throne
With many a servant girl

LEXINGTON.


Slowly the mist DER the me'dow was creeping
Bright on the dewy buds giistened the sun,
When from his couch, while his children
were sleeping,
Rose the bold rebel and shouldered his gun
Waving her golden vail,
Over the silent dale,
Blithe looked the morning on cottage and
spire;
flushed was the parting sigh,
While from his noble eye,
Flushed the last sparkle Of liberty's fire.
On the smooth green where the fresh leaf is
springing,
Calmly the first-born of Glory have met;
Hark the death-vOlley around them is ringing
Look! with their life-blOOd the young grass
is wet!
Faint is the feeble breath,
Murmuring low in death,
Tell TO our sons that their father have died."
Nerveless the iron hand,
Raised for its native land,
Lies by the weapon that CLEANS at its side.
Over the hill-sides the wild knell is toIling.
From their far hamlets the yeOmanrycome;
As through the storm-clOud the thunder
burst rolling,
Circles the beat of the mastering drum.
Fast on the soldiers path
Darken the waves of wrath,
Long have they gathered and loud shall they
fall;
Red glares the musket flash,
Sharp rings the rifles crash,
Blazing and changing from tlicket and wall.
Gayly the plume of the horscmcn was
dancing,
Never to shadow his cold brow again;
Proudly at morning the war steed was pran-
cling
Rocking and painting he droops on the
rein;
Pale is the lip of scorn,
Voiceless the trumpet horn,
Torn is the silken-fringed red cross on high;
Many belted breast
Low on the turf shall rest,
Ere the dark hunters the herd have passed
by.
Snow-girdled crags where the hoarse wind
is ravlng,
Rocks where the weary floods murmur
and wall,
Wilds where the fern by the furrOw is waving
Reeled with the echoes that rode on the
gale;
Far as the tempest thrills
Over the darkened hills,
Far as the sunshine streams over the plain,
Reused by the tyrant band,
Woke by the mighty land,
Girded for battle, from mountain TO main.
Green be the graves where her martyrs are
lyingl
ShrOudless and tOmblesS they sunk TO their
rest
While DER their ashes the starry folds flying
Wraps the proud eagle they reused from
his nest
Borne on her northern pine,
Long DER the fOaming brine
Spread her broad banner to storm and to sun;
Heaven keep her ever free,
Wide as DER land and sea
Floats the fair emblems her heroes have wOnl

AHINTERVIEw WITH oLDsENpeR.

The correspondent of the San Diego
(Cal.) Union, recently paid visit to old
Bender, in prison. In the early part of
his conversation he said his name was
Henry Deutshmiller, that he came from
Bavaria to that country in 1916, and was
now tifty-four years old. He denied hav-
ing ever lived in Kansas; but later he
confessed as follows:
Reporter-Mr. Bender, what in the
name of humanity possessed you to car
ry on the butchery in the style it was
performed in Kansas9
A.-Well, the fact is, the boy and girl
never joined the church, nor would they
assist to till the soil, but would lie in idle
ness constantly, studying devilish works;
was they that first suggested the idea
of taking life, and they were the instiga-
tors of all the crimes.
Reporter-Were you present when DIR.
York was murdered2
No answer came to this question. Ben
der sat on a mattress, his head waving
to and fro, overcome with his emotions.
He at last muttered, ''You know it all!'
and then fell over backward on the bed,
apparently in an exhausted or swooning
condition.
Considering that rest was needed, Ben
der was left a few hours to mediate
over what he had said. After lapse of
three hours we paid him another visit,
and were somewhat surprised to see his
refreshed appearance, and his willing
ness to continue the conversation, which
he began himself, as follows:
Bender-When arrive in Kansas do
you think the authorities will immedi-
ately hang met
Reporter-No, sir, 1 DO not; think
they will give you fair trial.
Bender-I expect Mr.. Harris, my
keeper, who has treated me kindly, will
start with me in day or two; if you can
possibly do me favor, l wish you would
ask him to take me to Topeka; do not
want to go to Independence; have GER
tain reasons; you see the people there
would not deal fairly with me, and 1
would have poor show for my life; /
want a trial, and want a Methodist
preacher and lawyer, and will prove
to the world that have never done any
thing wrong in my life. Here he SEEM
greatly agitated, shedding tears freely.
In every respect as to personal appear
ance the old man answers the descrip-
ton given him by the Kansas authorities.
His remarkably small hands, peculiar
dialect, his monotonous and drawling
speech, sluggish appearance, and his ae-
acknowledgements in yesterdays inter
view, leave no longer doubt that the
veritable John Bender will at last be
brought to justice.

HERMANN, the celebrated magician,
was married recently. And his wife
doesn't have to get up at daylight to 20
to market. When she wants a dozen of
eggs she simply hands her husband the
empty egg bag, and he produces them by
sleight-of-band; then he cooks an ONE
let in a borrowed hat, and converts a
can of sawdust into that much sugar, and
similar cups filed with Clipped paper is
changed into hot coffee; then he takes
the same hat, stirs up its emptiness with
a magic wand, and, presto, change! out
comes a loaf of bread, fresh shad, two
pickles, one pie, bucket of coal, dish
of hash, with natural hairs in it, and
half-a-dozen knives and forks. This is
much cheaper than going to market.
But Mrs. Hermann is not happy. When
her husband wants gold dollar he mys-
teriousIy picks it off the end of his wife's
nose. And she is dissatisfied because
she can't perform that trick herself
