TESTIMONY OF HON. GEO. C. WING.

DEAR MIR. FoGG-I sincerely hope that you will
endeavor to have accommodated by completing
our examination, SO that leave town, as my
business at home is extremely urgent. If cannot
at day and time certain, in the future when can
be permitted to examine, when will return. This
will seriously embarrass me, besides causing ex-
pense, when few minutes indulgence would finally
dispose of Androscoggin. Will you kindly attend to
this for me and acquaint with the result?
Sincerely yours, GEORGE WING.

BAD ADVICE TO THE SoUTH. The
tone Of large number of the Southern
newspapera upon the recent decision OF
the Supreme ConTt affirming the consti-
tutionality of the national election lave
10 by no means what could be desired.
With one or two exceptions our con.
temp0raries in that section are very much
dissatisfied with the decision and talk
i'll vague sort of way about making the
mandate of the court an tissue in the
next national campaign. Exactly what
they propose TO do., they do not say.
They cannot surely be insane enough
to contemplate the calling of oonyefi-
ton, the construction of d platform and
the nomination of a candidate pledged
to q reversal in some way or another of
the decision In question. A programme
or q policy of this kind would be the
most certain way to secure what the
majority or sensible men in tho South
are. We are confident, 80 anxious to avoid
"a solid North against solid South.
TO make such an issue would be rpon
the part of the South the extreme Of
folly. Its duty is 10 obey, as it is the
part of all parts of the country to obey
what has been declared to be the su-
preme law of the land. The opposite
course would be simply suicide and the
placing. in tho hands of the "strong
man" larty the raost effective weapon
in their armory.-M Y. Herald.

The Flower Garden.

Now is the time that farmers
wives should lay out plans for next sum-
mer's flowers. If we have not the
seeds or bulbs, it is much better to or
der now, as the poorest are always re-
served until the last Unless one has
plenty of time at her disposal, it is bet
ter to select few sorts and cultivate
them well, than have dozen beds and
borders overrun with weeds and giving
only few struggling blossoms. Then
one should choose the sorts with refer
ence TO private ideas and wishes: there
are so few plants that make good
show in the garden which are at the
same time good for cutting and possess
the subtle charms of fragrance, one
should know what she wants of flowers
and plant accordingly. The morning
glory is the prince of vines; sweet pea,
mignonette and alyssum are fragrant;
catchtly and centaurea bachelors but
tony are early; balsams, petunias and
four o'clocks make good show, but
are of little use for cutting, while the
aster, stock, phloX drummondi, VERDE
na, calliopsis and larkspur are not only
good for cutting, but give the garden a
fascinating brightness. Adonis will
make spots of gay color in a shady cor
ner, while the portulaca needs the sun
niest angle where it will display its I'M
rivaled beauty during the morning
hours. Ammonium, gomphrena and

helichrysum are desirable for winter
bouquets, and when the feather-grass
(stipapenneta) is added, a great deal of
beauty is obtained. Castor bean and
helianthus do well in the background,
and few plants of perilla. amaranthus
and pyrethrum are very nice for Orna-
mental foliage. No home is complete
without flowers, but they should be so
ordered that the borders will be a last
ing pleasure instead of struggling,
weedy place, offending good taste and
giving small returns for strength en-
pended. Pansies prefer shade, but do
not put them under tree, for they will
grow spindling. Neither plant them in
raised beds where the intense heat of
the summer sun will rapidly absorb all
the moisture. Choose rather bed cut
i'm the lawn, or better still, the shady
side of house, remembering al
ways that shade and moisture are es-
sential to the successful cultivation of
pansies. If you desire all the flowers
you can get, remove some of them every
day; there will always be some to take
their places. If you wish seeds, re-
move all but the largest and best formed
blooms. Like produces like, so large
flowers can not be raised from poor
seeds, but there is no reason why peo-
pie can not save their own secd.-Phila-
delphia Times.

Haryard's Big Kitchen.

THE Dining Association has ninety
employees beside its steward. A ten
horse power engine, burning two tons
of coal per day, heats the building and
supplies steam for the cooking and bak-
ing. but when Sanders's Theater is
heated third ton of coal is required.
The great soup-kettle holds 220 gallons,
and is said to be the largest kettle ever
cast in this country. Only 10 gallons
of soup, however, are required for the
daily dinner. The oatmeal-kettle holds
fifty-five gallons, and that for cracked
wheat twenty gallons; but not quite,
although very nearly, this amount is
consumed daily. The great range,
twenty-five feet long, contains four
ovens, and does all the frying and heat
for boiling meats and five for vegetables,
and none Of them of very small size,
while the great charcoal CRATE will
easily broil steak for $50 men. But the
most astounding parts of the culinary
arrangements are the two great ovens.
one for baking meats and one for bread
and pies. The first will cook at once
1000 pounds of meat and the other $50
pies. They are by no means too large,
however, since from s00to 1000 pounds
of meat are consumed daily and some
ninety loaves of graham and seventy
five of white bread. The heat never
leaves the pastry oven from one month
to another.
"How much flour do you use per
day." | asked.
1--WE average at least barrel and
half" was the reply.
And how many pies at one lunch?"
"A hundred and twenty-five, for
which three barrels of apples are need

Some misunderstanding butter was I'M
packed from huge box, and learned
that seventy-iive pounds were daily used
for the tables and about the same amount
for cooking. That the students had not
gone hungry on that day was conclu-
siyely shown from the fact that at
breakfast $50 pounds of rump steak and
seventy-five pounds of fish had been
consumed; that the larder contained
for the dinner 800 pounds of turkey and
500 pounds of beef; that 100 gallons of
milk (the daily allowance) and forty
buildings of large size were in store,
while twelve immense pans of ginger
bread were being prepared for the
oven.
Not the least interesting feature of the
establishment is the laundry, with its
washing machines, its huge wringer,
which will revolve l,500 times per min
ute, and its expensive mangle, which
cost $3.50. Altogether there has been,
within two wears, $4,000 worth of ma
chinery put in; and the arrangements,
the dumb-waiters moved by
hydraulic pressure, are all superb
