How TO MAKE CUTTINGS Grow
1t has been ascertained that cutting
will develop roots in moist sand bet
ter than in rich soil. But the sand
cannot maintain its growth any time.
10 prepare pots for raising cuttings
thore should be filled nearly to the
rim with rich garden loam-dark
the porous, cIayey and soggy; then
pour in one inch in depth of securing
sand, or sea sand will do as well.
Wet this thoroughly, and place the
cutting, from which all but thee or
four upper leaves have been removed,
close to the side Of the pot; the con-
tact Of the wave against the stem OF
the cutting promotes its growth. Press
the wet sand firmly around the tiny
stem. A great deal Of your chance
for success in raising slips for cuttings
ueDellQS Oh IulS. ldhu do MANY CuG-
tings as the pot will hold, from six to
dozen, according to the size Of your
pot; when they are firmly set in sand
two or three can be inserted in The
middle Of the pot. Set them away in
dark, warm place for tentyfour or
twenty-six hours. Thus cuttings will
grow quickly in hotbed because the
temperature is not dry. There growth
depends in great deal on light, neat
ano moisture. If bud is close at the
base Of the cutting it will strike the
root more easily and is not apt to de-
cay. The roots shoot from the bud,
and the lower down it is, the surer
your success.
When the leaves drop, the plant is
commencing to grow; if they w;ther
on the stem it has begun to decay.
BY following these directions no one
can fail to grow all kinds of house
plants. Roses and the rarest flowers
Of the green. house are propagated in
this manner. Many cuttings damp
on account Of the soil being too moist.

Gun Accidents.

Guns should always be carried at the half
cock, as then neither blow on the striker
nor pull at the trigger will bring the former
into action. There is no necessity whatever
for gun to be otherwise than at the half
cock, unless game is Immediately in front
and, further, it may not be out of place to
add, that it is dangerous when shooting in
company for the gun to be swung round in
taking aim with the finger on the trigger.
The eye should follow the line of fight, and
the gun be raised at the proper moment.
Accidents from guns bursting are rare, but
caution is very necessary in getting over
fences to see that no earth gets lodged in the
muzzle, or in winter time that the latter does
not get blocked up by snow dropping from
bushes or otherwise. These obstacles, al
though they may be easily removed, are
quite sufficient, if they remain, to burst the
strongest barrel when the piece is fired.
This is caused by the wonderful velocity Of
the expanding gases. This expansion, which
is said to be at about the rate of 1000 feet
per second, is the same in all directions, and
the least check at the muzzle of the gun
causes such a sudden increased pressure or
its sides that the latter are unable to resist
its effects, and are burst open. No one il
more cautious or scrupulously careful in thu
use of his gun than an old sportsman, and
no one more readily than he detects and
condemns carelessness in the manipulation q
of their guns in others.

THE LAST scHooI-BooK SCHEME.
The State textbook contractor has had
bill introduced into the Senate to perfect his
job, and make it snug and tight for a decade
and a half of years. The bill admits him
unrestrictedly to the State Treasury, and to
the entire funds, if necessary, realized from
the State taxes for the benefit of the schools,
and compels all the officers connected with
the school system that he has any use for to
act as book orderers, agents, store-keepers,
and purveyors. Under the new scheme the
district clerks must make estimates for the
books required, the county superintendent
must make acquisitions for them upon the
State superintendent, the State superinten-
dent must make acquisitions upon the CON
tractor for them and transmit them
to the county auditors; and the
State treasurer must hand over the
money out of the school fund to
pay them.for them as soon as they are deliv-
cred, and trust to fortune and the good faith
and ability of the counties and school dis
tricts to get the money back; and then the
district clerks must receive the books from
the auditors and sell them, and turn the mon
ey over to the county auditor under penalty
of fine and imprisonment. To cap the eli
max, the people must buy and use just such
books as this law imposes, whether they like
it OF not Altogether it is a precious scheme;
is it not?

The Supreme Court Report Fraud--An I'm
proper Measure.

The Supreme Court Report Fraud--An I'm
proper Measure.
MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 80, 1873.
Editor of the DAILY GLOBE:
At the last session of the Legislature, a
certain party in St. Paul lobbied bill
through the Legislature for the publication
of eleven volumes of the Supreme Court Re
ports, to cost the State the sum of eleven
thousand dollars, without any benefit except
to few lawyers and the parties interested in
the speculation. An appropriation of eleven
thousand dollars direct by the State would
not have received dozen votes in the Legis-
lature; but to get the bill through, the par
ties in interest agreed if the purchase of 200
volumes of each of these reports was made
that no more than fifteen hundred dollars
should be appropriated in any one year for
this purpose.
Now, I see by the proceedings Of the Leg
islature, that it is proposed to change
the law, SO as to provide that the whole
amount Of appropriation may be drawn out
of the treasury within two years. If it is
competent to make this change in the inter-
est of the party engaged in this speculation,
is it not competent for the Legislature to
change the law SO as to relieve the State
from the obligation of paying twice the val
ne of the books? that is to say, one thousand
dollars for two hundred volumes will more
than pay the expense of printing one thou
sand Volumes SO that the State pays for
eight hundred volumes, which Mr.. West APP
propriates to his own use. If the judiciary
committee last year had investigated this
matter, they would have had no difficulty in
making the purchase Of the books for half
the money which the State is now obligated
to pay. l trust the Legislature
will refuse absolutely to consent to any
change in the terms of the law, unless con-
cession of at least two dollars volume is
made in the price of these reports.
The law referred to is chapter 1O2 of the
General Laws of 1877, and should be read
carefully by every member of the Legisla-
ture. The members of the judiciary COM
mlttee may be misled into recommending
the change to suit Mr.. West; but every fair
minded man will agree with me that the law
should stand as it now is; OF if this is not
satisfactory to the party for whose benefit it
was devised, then that it should be repealed,
and the lawyers allowed to make their own
arrangements about the reports if they want
them, OF concession be made, bringing the
price down to proper value. By calling pub
lie attention to this attempted modification
of the terms of a binding contract, you will
do the burdened tax payers favor, and per-
haps help in the future to guard the interests
of the State more carefully. Please read
that law.
Very Respectfully, ANrI-SrEA1.
