Sowing Clover Seed.

a correspondent asks us if he should
SOW clover seed on his spring
grain before sowing the grain, so that
one narrowing shall answer for both
and also how much to sow per acre.
1t is not best to harrow after sowing
clover seed, as it covers the small
seeds 80 deeply that many of them will
not gerninate. If the ground is in
proper tilthaD covering will be need
ed, as the seeds will naturally be
washed under fine particles Of soil by
the first rain. With winter wheat or
rye. it is good practice to harrow the
surface before sowing clover seed. Or
with winter grain the seed may be
sown on frozen ground before it is dry
enough to- harrow. Freezing and
thawing will cover the seeds sufficient
ly. One peck Of clover seed per acre,
should be sown on all land where
clover seed had not recently been
grown

Teach Children to Speak the Truth.

Children should be taught to speak
the truth, to hate a lie, and to be hon.
est. It is unsafe to leave any class of
children untaught. 1t. is not for the
interest Of the community to do so.
1t is from the ignorant and vicious
that the pauper and criminal element
chiefly comes. That is the burden
which others are chiefly taxed to sup
port. 1t is chiefly from those who
have no healthy home training, no
church, no family alter, no Sabbath
school. There are many who get no
correct ideas Of right and wrong save
what they get in school. AT home,
and in the street they learn to lie, to
steal, to get drunk, to fight, to use vile
language. There by precept and ex.
ample they get a knowledge OF evil.
tits more the duty Of society to pro-.
vide for the right education and prop
er training Of all the children than It
is to support the paupers and take care

To Get rid of Household Pests.

Chas. Thompson writes to the Scien-
tlfc American that he has not seen a
bedbug or flea in his house for many
years, and adds: If an army of them
were to be brought in, mercury would
speedily exterminate them; but think
cleanliness the best and perhaps tho
only preventive. The common house
fly do not molest, believing it more
than compensates for its trouble by
cleaning the atmosphere of aff1uvia and
the animalcules which always arise
from the putrefacti0n of decaying SUBJ
stances during the warm weather. So
also with the birds, which are quite
numerous here during the summer
Instead of shooting them or setting up
scare-crows to frighten them away, I
throw out every possible inducement
for them to build their nests in: my
fruit trees. The birds capture large
share of the insects in the larvel state,
and thus the millers are prevented from
depositing eggs for future crop of
worms. As to the loss of fruit by the
birds, the latter are always sure. to be
on hand in force in the season of ripe
fruit, whether they come early enough
to take the worms or not. For the res
idue of insects which infest my vege-
table garden /. find that the laboratory
of the chemist furnishes materials
fatal to them all, among which white
hellebore and cayenne pepper are of
the most utility. - 8 :''57 T., .'s.

where, and leave my garden unmo.
Tested. \ few drops Of carbolic acid
in pint of water will clean house
plants from lice in very short time.
If mosquitoes or other blood-suckers
|infest our sleeping rooms at:night, we.
iuncork a bottle Of oil of penny'royal,
and these leave in great haste, nor
will they return so long as the air in
the room is loaded with the fumes OF
that aromatic herb. If rats enter the,
cellar, a little powdered potash thrown
Into their holes, or mixed with meal
and scattered in their runways, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne
pepper will keep the butter and store
room free from ants: and cockroaches.
If mouse make an entrance into any.
part of your dwellings, saturate q rag
with cayenne in solution and stuff it
Into: a hole, which cannot be repaired

mouse will eat that rag for the purpose

The Herb Garden and It's Labors.

Early in the season, after the vege.
table seeds are sown, we prepare a
seed bed where we SOW the herbs used
for culinary purposes, and few sim
piles as medicine. The seed is sown
rather thick, lightly covered, and
rolled. After the early peas are
|staked and earthed up for the last time
we take advantage of shower to
transplant our herbs between the rows,
and when the ground is cleared of the
first crop and the debris carried away,
a one-horse plow stirs up the soil
where peas have been and leaves us a
fresh growing crop for the autumn.
The work of hoeing round the plants,
cutting and drying is easily performed
by one of the children, who purchases
the seed in spring and take charge of
the plants, reaping the reward in pock-
ct money, which is valued more for
being so pleasantly earned.
The best-paying herb crop is Sage:
used for its aromatic, carminative and
|astringent properties incidentally, and
as favorite gargle and embrocation-
the first for sore throat and the latter
for chronic rheumatism Of the, joints
It is in good demand by cooks, es-
pecially in holiday times, and finds
ready sale. Thyme, an herb of mild
er type, is used very much in dressing
fowls. It is of slower growth than
Sage, but if not to its full size will
stand the winter and be crop in
the spring, growing luxuriantly the
second season, Incidentally it is used
in cases Of obstinate sprains. A small
corner is reserved for Saffron, whose
golden, thread-like flowers when dried
are used as dye, and often called for
by our neighbors as safe and old
fashioned medicine for babies. But
my favorite herb is the Lavender, aro-
matte and beautiful either in its pale
green leaf or it's spikes of delicate
flowers that produce very refreshing
perfume. When well grown the flower
spikes sell readily to the chemist, and
it is always valued as a choice, fra
grant and acceptable Offering to a
friend-not fading like the flowers you
may give, but retaining memory of
the giver for many years.

A BRILLIANT ELECTRIC LIGHT.

Fnle0eIphl6 1une9 ON.
Quite a number of ladies and gentle.
men visited the Transatlantic steam
ship L 'Amerique, last night, in order
to witness an exhibition of the electric
lights which she carries. About
twenty feet from the bough is sort
of wrought:iron lighthouse, six feet
in diameter and twenty-five in height,
including the lantern. This has an
arc of illumination of 5000 feet, with
in which, in the darkest night, the
steamer may be deserted at distance
of twelve miles. The light can be
made to fash, if required, and on q
clear, fine night can always be. seen
from the horizon, twenty.eight miles.
The electricity is generated by fric-
tion, which little machine, in con-
nection with the engines, and which
makes one thousand revolutions per
minute, supplies. The engineers have
entire charge of the electrical arrange
|ments, and the batteries are in the
engine room. There is a portable
electric light also on board l. L'Amerique
and last night it shone out from the
bridge, in the shape of a goblet, so
|dazzlingly brilliant that it was impos.
sible to meet it with the eyes, 50: lurid
that it made each spar and stay and
rope and block stand out in bold relief
from their own fantastic shadows.
The moon and starsdid their level best
to shine their. brightest, but Luna was
|pale in comparison with the bright
head. light that enabled persons a block
away up Reed street to read fine print
without speetacles. During her stay
lin this port the electric lights of
L'Amerique will be exhibited every
might. .;.,...

ANOTHER DEFAULTER

Some time ago, the Treasurer of
jersey City, Mr. J. Sooy, was de-
faultcr to the amount of over 800
600. The Ironton JournH in speak
ing of it. said 1t is unnecessary to
say, that Soov, was Il Democrat. -
1t was entirely unnecessary unless
the intention was to tell deliberate
f@lsehood, instead of simply imply
ing one, as the Jompal did. Mr.
Sooy was a Republican, elected by
Republican. votes. Now the City
Treasurer of Buffalo. Mr.. Joseph
Bork, has disappeared with $780,
600, of the public money. He was
a prominent Republican and was a
candidate for the nomination for
Mayor last spring but was defeated
by Mr.. Philip Becker.

want to know his reasons, they can
ascertain them, by iuquiring OF the

cy to build roads for the people Tot
The Third District? What rights

he can spite the Third District, and
when such an opportunity offers, his
spleen swells 50 with delight that it
stiffcns his back and he Is enabled 20

THE KANAwHA RIVER.

We publish on our first page, a
letter from Hon G.. J. Faulkner, on
the Importance of the Improvement
of the kanawha River, and his de-
sire TO aid it, to. the. extent of his
ability. With the energetic services
Of MeSsrS. Davis, aud Caperton in
Senate, and MeSsrS. Hereford and
Faulkner IN tire House, it seems rs
if the $1,000, 900, recommended by
the Secretary of the Treasury for
that Improvement ought to be Sc
cured.
We also publish, from the Eng
ueering and .Nnmg ,Io'trpai, state
mcnt showing to whit n large ex-
tent the Kanawha Coal trade may
he developed in New York. When
ever the time comes in which CAPT
talists will invest clpitrd instead of
keeping it hearted pp, the business
of the Kanawha Valley will be
awakened to new life. The old
companies will be pushed forward,
and many new ones will open works.
BY the Kanawha river, Westward,
and the G. & O. X. r., Eastward.
an immense transportation business
will be done. One reason that no
more coal has been shipped east
ward last year was that there was q
lack of facilities on the railroad. 1t
Is likely this will be remedied after the
sale of the road.
