Culture Of Cucumbers.
BY CAsSIUS NJ. CLAY.

ANY one who has 100 square feet OF
soil in farm or city yard exposed to
the suns rays, may raise plenty OF
cucumbers Tor a large family. l have
of late, on account of the dry season,
raised cucumbers after this fashion:
Take line five feet long, tied to a
peg set iu the ground, then with a
peg on the other end, make a circle
ten feet in diameter; this will be lit
tie less than 100 feet. Spade this up
two feet deep; mix it thoroughly
with leaf manure, or Well>rotted
woodpile earth, OF thoroughly rotted
stable manure, elevating the center
with a gradual decline to the border
about one foot above the general lev
ell, the clods well broken and the
surface well smoothed. Knock both
heads out of barrel, and set 1t
on the surface OF the bed, in the
center of the circle. Fill this barre!
with the richest stable manure. The
bed is now ready. On the OUT
side of the barrel on three sides
next the sun, about the time OF
planting Indian corn, plant dozen
cucumber seeds, making three hills,
the north side being reserved for a
tootpath to the barrel. AS soon as the
plants are secure against the striped
bug or other contingency, and haye
about three leaves, thin them TO two
or three in hill, being six or niue in
all. AS the plants need water pour
a Jew bucketsful into the barrel, ev-
cry day or two. and the vines are
prepared for the most truitiul growth.
AS soon as they are ready to run,
being well weeded up to that time,
place light layer OF brush over the
whole bed, to guard it against chick
ems and dogs, to form a support for
the vines and fruit. In cutting the
fruit use care 20 avoid treading Gu
the vines, and cut the stems with a
sharp knife. Those intended TO be
cut tor pickles should be cut with
the stems left on the cucumbers. I
have cut, by count, AZ cncnmbers an
inch or Two long Tor pickles, in
single day. 1t is best to cultivate
and handle all tender vines in the
evening, so as to give a whole night
for recovery, before the sun scorches
them. Persons raisings cucumbers
this way once will never try the old
method again. Whilst the striped
bug attacks the cucumber most Wig
orously, when planted the old way,
the manure seems to be an entire
preventive of their presence, at least
l have never seen one on the vines
raised this way.
S1.Much has been said against Gu
cumbers by writers on public health.
No doubt stale fruit about city gro-
ceries, is often very injurious yet l
believe the cucumber, when eaten in
moderation, as all fruit and all food
should he, is not only very delicious,
but very refreshing and productive
of health. The Russian peasanlry
almost live upon cucumbers and I'VE
bread, and the nobility and wealthy
consume them throughout the year
picked in salt and the leaves of the
black currant. Eaten as condiment
with meats they are far better than
our pickles, and should be introduced
into our menu, as a great accession.

Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1881-04-22

A WASHINGTON correspondent says
that President Garfield was so much
frightened at the Eruption of Office
seekers early in March that he adopt
ed various expedients to reduce the
numbers. Mrs. Garfield likewise
found it necessary to put limit to
the freedom of White House recep-
tons, and the ladies of the Cabinet,
after consideration, decided that they
would he unable to return calls. All
these things show that the country
is growing, and that Washington is
becoming a populous city instead of
struggling village. Twenty peopl Q
now go there for office, to see the
sights, or to spend season, where
one went prior to 1880. There is
also steady gain in the permanent
population of the city, especially of
the best class of citizens. The negro
invasion commenced in 1861, and
kept up through the war, lost force
after 1865, but was strengthened in
1912 and 3, while Sheppard was
spending ca million a minute" in
street improvements.

ADULTERATIoN OF WINE.-The New
York Times publishes statistics from
consular reports showing the extent
to which adulterated wines are i'm
ported in France, and says that there
is unquestioned evidence that the
deficiency in home produce is sup
piled by million gallons of wine
made in Spain, Italy, Hungary, Tur-
key and even in Algiers, bought into
France and there mixed and doc
tored," watered and drugged until it
assumes the appearance and taste of
the product of French vineyards and
becomes suited for markets once
honestly supplied. This is the sub
stance of reports made to the State
Department by consuls and agents of
the United States stationed in
France.

A BAD BEGINNING. The New York
Herald thus tersely defines the po-
litical situation: The debate in the
Senate threatens to sweep beyond the
control of ordinary political laws.
Senators are losing temper. Speeches
on both sides are marked with an
acrid, bitter tone, which will do no
good to the country. This is un-
fortunate in the beginning of a new
Administ ration and especially so at
the ending of long campaign
Everybody felt satisfied. Republi-
CANS were victorious and began to
think of Offices. Democrats were
whipped and were glad TO be we'll
out of the fight. Everybody wanted
to be at peace and to give Gen. Gar
field fair trial. Instead of this we
have Senate in angry, tumultuous
session; all the issues of the war re-
vived, charges and countercharges
heaped and hurled from one to an
other, and the beginning of an agi.
tation which will throw its shadows
over the Summer, awaken animosi.
ties which should rest, and array
against the Administration an in.

We see no valid objection to re-
vision Of the Bible. The Christian
doctrines are now SO different from
those taught by the Nazarine, at
least in their practical adaptation,
it seems eminently proper that the
Word should be made to conform to
modern ideas. Christ was meek
and his admonitons were dictated
by the spirit of love. He was chart
table in judging of human frailties,
and every word uttered by him car
ried with it for9ivness and hope.
He did not profess a self-righteous-
ness which would have erected an
insuperable barrier between him
self and the worlds people, bu,
became the companion of publicans
and sinners that they might be led
to higher walks of life. 1t was the
Pharasees who pursued the opposite
course. But these matters are viewed
in a different light after the lapse of
eighteen centuries, and doubtless
the old Bible will be made to con.
form in some respects at least to
modern ideas.

Death of Gen. Joseph Lane.

On Wednesday, the Goth instant,
Gen. Joseph Lane died at his home
in Douglas county, Oregon, after a
protrac.ed illness. No man in that
State was better known or has de-
parted with more sincere expressions
of respect from all, irrespective of
party or creed. He was a pioneer,
his residence dating from 1913, and
has ever since his advent to what
was then a land inhabited alEost
exclusively by savage hoIdes, been
identified with the history of Oregon.
We quote from journal which
has had no sympathy with his polit.
ical prediction the following refer
ence to the main incidents of his
eventful life, which, however, makes
no reference to one of the most mott
able of these, his candidacy for the
Vice Presidency, on the ticket with
Breckenridge, in 1861
Gen. Lane was born in Buncombe
county, North Carolina, December
IA, 1901, and moved, when boy, to
Indiana. At an early age he entered
the political arena and was an active
politician in every campaign till age
deprived him of the physical power
to do earnest political work. His
part in the Mexican war is part of
the history of the country. He was
appointed Governor of Oregon in
1S4S, by President Polk, and made
haste to get here, arriving at Oregon
City two days before the Admins
tration had expired, and organized
the Territorial Government. He
was elected q Delegate to Congress
in 1851 and filled the position until
the admission of the State into the
Union in 1859, when he was elected
U. S. Senator for the term ending
in 1864. AS husband, father and
neighbor, Gen. Lane stood high in
the scale of manhood; though an in
tense partisan no charge of corrup-
ton was ever made against him.
His party feelings in the wal of the
rebellion led him to take sidcs with
the south and to give him prominence
as an advocate of peaceable secession.
Since 1861 he has resided in Oregon
taking great interest in politics, but
never seeking Office. As a pioneer,
and friend of our State he will be
long remembered. He has lived
long and his life was ever guided by
the strictest rule of honesty and up
rightness. Though having but scanty
means of education in his youth,
Gen. Lane acquired vast fund Of
information upon all living current
topics, and no man on the Pacific
Coast probably had a better acquain-
lance with the political history of the
country. His name will be preserved
long in the archives of the nation
and his memory will ever be cher
ished by large circle of friends in
all parts of the country. May he
rest in peace.
The funeral will take place from his
late residence to-day, vault having
been prepared in the Masonic Gem
etery near Roseburg, for the recep
ton of his remains.
