They Would not Light.

They tell this story of Ralph Waldo
Emerson: His best thoughts were apt to
strike him after he had gone to bed.
Once calmly resigned to rest, ready for
dreams, sparkling notions began to fit
through his brain. He knew if he did
not catch them then, they would vanish
never to return; so up he gets, strikes a
light. and makes his nocturnal notes.
One night the philosopher had risen
from his bed, and was cropping around in
the dark for card of misplaced matches
His hand at length came in contact with
his wife's deliberately carved tortoise-shel
comb, which he mistook for card of
lucifers. One after another he snapped
away the teeth, trying to light them on
the wall, until not one was left. His loud
and emphatic mutterings Of disappoint-
ment aroused Mrs. Emerson.
"What on earth, husband, are you do
ing there in the dark ~
"Only thought that l had in my
mind, my love"
But the thought had fed and still in the
dark he went back to bed
In the morning Mrs. f. found that her
husbands fugitive thought had been an
expensive one for her-having cost her
her best comb, but she could not find it in
her heart to scOld.

Flower Cultivation.

Flower beds should be thoroughly
dug previous to planting, and not have a
little manure spread on the surface and
then dug carelessly over. Beds which
are to be filled with geraniums, cannas,
caladium esculentum, ETC., should be dug
over two spadings deep, and the soil well
pulverized during the process. Plenty of
good, fresh manure should be applied and
put well down, so as to attract the ioots as
far from the surface as possible, which
greatly aids the plants from being affected
by the drought during the months of
July and August Geranium roots will
penetrate the soil to great depth in search
of food, and unless such plants as cannas
and caladiums are supplied with plenty
of nourishment they will never have
vigorous appearance, nor much beauty.
The best manure for flower beds is good,
fresh, barn yard manure. 1t has consid.
cradle body" to it, and plenty of ma
nure applied to the ground in the spring
will do more in resisting the drouth in the
summer than all the artificial watering
which may be given. Hard, retentive clay
soils, which are deficient in vegetable
matter, should have ii supplied in as
large quantities as possible; decayed leaves
anu vegetables answer wen LOT mower
beds, if plenty of farm-yard manure ac-
companies them. The eXcreta of animals
applied to the soil returns what was orig
inally taken from it. Only SO long as we
put into the soil what is necessary for
supplying suitable support to the plants
which are to be grown on the soil can we
expect to see full development in those
particular plants. Such plants as Gala
diums and castor oil beans require large
supply of food to bring them to pertec-
ton. A large quantity of manure put
into the soil will not benefit them, how.
ever, if it does not get air and moisture
to convert it into suitable condition so
the roots can absorb it, and these are best
obtained in the soil by deep digging and
thorough pulverization.-Boston Culti-

Sage is grown for market by sowing
the seed early in spring, IN rich, mellow
soil, kept carefully free from weeds, until
the plants are ready to be set out in the
beds This is done in June and July.
The soil should be enriched with we'll
roted manure, and should be made very
fine by narrowing and raKiHg, as the
plants are at first small and delicate. The
rows are fourteen inches apart and the
plants are set eight inches apart in the rows.
The plants are kept from weeds by work
ing with a small steel garden rake, which
is better than hoe. In september each
alternate row is cut out and punched for
market, leaving the others to grow. In
short time the plants, now two feet apart,
will meet, when, if the soil is very rich,
the alternate rows may be cut, and those
left will be ready to cut after the second
uting is sold. In this way heavy crops
re raised on rich soil. About thirty-six
ounces of seed will produce plants
though for an acre. The seed is sold for
Two dollars a pound The whole crop
4nay be cut when in bloom and sold, and
lhe plant thus raised as an annual,
hanging the ground each year; or the
llants, which are perennial, may be left
p Sprout again. The average price is
zen to fifteen dollars per 1000 punches,
which yields about $500 an acre. The
sual cost of the crop is $3.50 per acre.

Fer the Biggest Indian War Of the
Century Is Upon Us.
RED CLOUD REFUSES TO RECEIVE
RATIoNS AND PROPOSES TO
AGAIN TAKE THE WAR
PATH.
The Troops Ready for Immediate Ser
vice-A Crisis Imminent.

Immediately after the BLACK Hills
commissioners left Red Cloud Agency,
recently, the Indians moved and camped
about twenty-five miles away, sending
in only the squaws and a few bucks ON
issue days to draw rations- They were
SO far away that nc information could
be had as to their movements or doings,
and doubtless many of them were of on
raiding and plundering expeditions or
communicating with the open hostiles.
Word was sent to them by Captain
Smith, U. s. A., the acting agent, to
come in to the Agency. To this they
paid no attention. Meantime, General
Crook and several of his staff arrived
at the Agency, and word was immedi-
ately sem to the Indians that no more
rations would be issued until they came
into the Agency, where they belonged,
and remained there.
Friday was issue day, and very few
Indians were present. Red Cloud came
in, but none of his band did SO, and he
refused to receive rations. The ultima
tum sent them will not be receded from
in the slightest degree, and unless it is
complied with very soon, lively times
may be expected. Indeed it seems very
sure that Red Cloud intends going on
the warpath with his whole outfit. The
troops at Red Cloud, under General
Mackenzie, are held in readiness for
duty at a moments notice.

When the Indians raided SWANS
ranch, the other day, the herder who
was out with the horses was driven
from his post and rode to the house as
fast as possible. There were three or
four men there, who ut once seized
their guns and rode to the rescue. The
cook, an Irishman, was terribly excited
and his gun wa heard oftener than
any other, though he didn't hit any In
dams. While the men were shooting
at the redskins who were running off
the horses, two Indians rose from a
small hill off at one side, and opened
fire on the whites. This and the fact
that the horse thieves were getting
away safely, excited the 1risllman to the
highest pitch, and, reckoning to the
redskins, he shouted at the top of his
voice: "Herel herel you Cd id
fools, thin are SWANS horsesl Come
back wild EN-! Come back wild eml''
Whether the Hibernian was in earnest
or not, deponent does not state, but the
Indians paid no attention to his orders.
