Autumn W ork in the Garden.

The summer will soon be gone, but the
glorious autumn is yet to come, with its
soft, smoky, soothing atmosphere, its gild-
ed foliage and ripened fruits. Each sea-
son has its pleasures, but none crowded SO
full and running over with enjoyment as
the autumn every season has its oppor-
tunities and duties, and those of the fall
are numerous and important. What a good
time, in the pleasant fall weather, for ar
ranging beds of herbaccous plants,
such as hollyhocks, delphiniums,
pGonies, &c. Roots can be divided
without injury, and generally with great
benefit to the health of the plants. Lilies,
:lnd..all hardy bulbs, can also be removed
and rcplanted as soon rs the leaves begin
ripcn. Plants that are somewhat tender
in the North, such as tritOmas, pampas
grass, &C., and any other tender plants
that it would be desirable to save over the
winter, may he secured in pits or cool GEL
lars. A simple pit is made by removing
the earth for say two feet, over which is
placed hot-bed frame and sash. Even
boards or mats will answer for a covering.
Give air during fine weather.
General improvements in the garden
should bc now made, for our springs are
short and unpleasant. Dig up and put in
order every vacant bed, as it will not only
facilitate spring work, but do the soil
good and have neater appearance than
if left rough and weedy.
All bulbs and plants that die down to
the ground in autumn, may be protected
by covering the surface of the earth with
leaves, manure or straw, but plants that
retain their leaves during winter will not
bear this kind of protection. A few ever
green bouglls thrown over the bed, 4 little
straw between the plants, or some light,
open covering Of this kind, is all they will
bear without danger of smotherins and
rotting.
If you want a lawn, and the ground is
clear, it is best to prepare it at once, and
sow Kentucky blue grass with little
clover, or lawn grass, which is simply blue
grass and white clover, with a few other
nice grasses, using at the rate of four BUSH
els of seed to the acre. Sow IN September
and the autumn rains will give it a good
start. Before winter sets in give the young
grass light dressing of manure, and by
the first of June you will have good lawn
if the soil was i'm fair condition. In pre-
pairing soil for lawn see that the surface
is light, for it is hard to make the young
grass come up in a hard soil that will bake
on the surface After the grass once gets
started there will bc no trouble. If the
soil is stiff and likely to bake, after sowing
the seed and raking it in, cover the sur
face with about an inch of manure, and let
it remain until the grass is we'll up, then
rake off 4 little of the coarsest. .-FicEs &

A REMEDY WITHOUT A RIVAL for all
diseases arising from Nervous Debility, Sexual

as well as from the prostration OF Old age. Its
curative properties in violent and chronic
forms of the following diseases have been at
tested to by the most Eminent Physicians:
Dyspepsia, Self Abuse, Headache. Dizziness,
Sexual Exhaustion, SpermatOrrhOea, General
Debility, lmpOtency, Premature Decay, &c.

amply demonstrate. Since 1896 this remedy
has always been sold for much larger price

The Perilous Puzzle.
Bob Burdette Tells How 1t Ruined
Railway Train.
Burlington Hawkeye.l

While we whirl away on the Atlantic &
Great Western the only road in free America
that is as broad as it is long, the fat passenger
asked me if I "ever worked the fifteen
puzzle?" sse
tell him, with a nameless gratitude in my
voice, that have done almost everything else
that is foolish and wicked, but 1 have never
become addicted to the fifteen puzzle.
Then he pulled one out of his pocket and
settled down to it. Long and patiently he
wrought, while the other passengers helped
him with suggestions and criticisms. Pres
emily the brakeman came in and he leaned
over the shoulders of the crowd and looked on
and assisted. By and by the conductor came
along shouting "tikts," and he stopped to see
what was the excitement. He pushed his
punch in his pocket, and leaned up with the
rest of the crowd and told the fat passenger
what to do The excitement ran high and
half dozen bitter disputes arose, which were
only quelled by bitterer ones arising over new
points The train sped on its laundering way,
and in due time it slowed up a little, and
finally stopped The conductor looked up inn
patiently .srl
"What in thunder" he said, ''is that fool
stopping here for?' su-
''Water,I reckon, or coal maybe" replied
the brakeman, without looking up from the
| puzzle.
"Go out and see what he wants and tell him
| to go on" said the conductor, returning TO the
| puzzle.
The brakeman, after feeble protest, and
| one last lingering look at the puzzle, which
| was now farther than ever from completion,
went out. In the space of minute he came
back into the car and shouted in husky, whs-
| pered ghost of a shout:
"Meadville! Change cars for Oil City and
franklin! This train stops twenty minutes
| for dinner!'
A wall of rage and disappointment filed the
| car.
'Why didn't this train stop at Atlantic?"
roared the passenger with the sandy goatee.
Il wanted to get off at Evansburg" howled
| the man with the sample cases.
j my sister wanted to get on at Atlantic, and
| saw her on the platform when wo came
through" shouted the woman who talks bass.
.'And L." sobbed a timid-looking young mar
in black clothes, "was to have been married to
u girl in Geneva to-day, and now I'll bet you
a COW her old dad is walking down the railroad
track in this direction, with shotgun" And
he walled so pitifully that the whole car
howled in sympathetic unison.
just then the express messenger came storm
ing into the coach.
''By chowder," he yelled, 'Id just like to
know what this means? I'd like to know II

Howells' very striking story, The Undiscovered
Country, and TIE opening chapters of The
Saltwater Tragedy, serial story by T. B AID

readers, and though tragedy is disclosed at
once, the humoi and narrative charm which
all of Mr.. Aldrich's stories possess are here in
full perfection. These two serials are enough
20 make a notable number of any magazine,
but the Atlantic has, in addition, Clary's Tri-

A Canterbury Pilgrimage, one of the most en-
gaging of Richard Grant Whites English pa
pers; The Lost Occasion, fine poem by Whit
tier; some charming Verses for Letter. By
Miss Sarah O. Jewett, author OF Old Friends
and New; "reminiscences of Washington, a
delightful chapter of anecdotes and recollec-

Political Riders.

The remarks of Mr.. Reed, published else
where, upon the Springer amendment to the
little deficiency bill, convey clear exposi-
ton OF Republican objections to the bill as
carried through the House. Mr.. Reed con-
tends that Congress has no right to put po-
litical riders upon appropriation bills, andin
this view he is supported by the opinions
and practice of the trainers of the constitu-
tion and the members of the earlier Con-
crosses. If the Democrats object to the
election laws they should repeal them; but
as long as the laws are on the statute books
they ought to be enforced. The law-making
power should certainly be the last to disre-
gard or nullify or defy them. The statutes
in question provide for the appointment of
marshals and supervisors under certain con-
ditions. The bill under consideration pro-
vides for an appropriation in accordance
with the law for the pay of these officials.
The object of the Democrats is while
making this appropriation to couple
it with new conditions that work a
material change in the statutes and defeat
their intent. 1t is this attempt the Republi-
cans in the House strove to defeat, and the
fight will, in all probability be renewed in
the Senate. The Democrats have surren-
dered much, and no longer make strenu-
GUS fight upon the constitutionality of the
election laws. The decision of the Supreme
Court is a thing they do not care to contend
against. But they still assert their right to
attach political riders to appropriation bills,
and so long as this question, the great OBJ
ject of contention in the extra session, is in
dispute, the asserted right will be vigorously
denied by the Republicans.
Mr.. Reeds position as to the proposition
for the appointment of marshals by the Cir
cult judges is strong and unimpeachable.
AS he puts it "The party that is in power is
responsible for the execution of the laws,
and should have the control of the appoint
ments to execute the laws" Otherwise we
have divided responsibility and consequent
weakening of the authority and efficiency of
the executive. Certainly Democrats who
complain so Justify of judicial encroach-
ment cannot with any consistency counte-
nance the appointment of executive officers
by the judiciary.
