Geo. a. Shuicdt, Esq, prominent lawyer
Of this city, recently had communication IN
a daily paper of the city on the above subject,
urging an amendment to the existing law OF
this State, III regard to the landlords lien on
the property OF the tenant for payment of rent
He says:
1T is scandal and disgrace to the State
of Illinois that tins old relic OF feudalism and
barbarism should be permitted to exist within
her borders. There Is no more reason why a
landlord should have lien for rent and a
right to seize the goods of his tenant without
u legal warrant than that's grocer should have
a lien on the ChIna-ware for his bill, or the
butcher lien on the kitchen furniture for his
account. Any tradcsman or merchant has as
good claim upon the person hiring house,
AS has the man that happens to own the house.
And vet no man but a landlord has the right
to issue his own warrant and seize the goods
Of another for the collection OF his debt. The
thing is not only absurd but it is a mOnstrous
wrong. How many poor, struggling people
have been robbed under this old heather Gus
tom Of their very beds and necessary house
hold goods, and then turned naked into the
streets the good Lord only knows. But 1t is
time now that il should he stopped, aud no
more robberies Of this kind be permitted. So
say abolish the rights, repeal the law, blot
out forever all rights Of distress for rent We
have great volumes of laws for the rich and
the powerful for great institutions and corpo-
ralions-our Legislature hasn't done much OF
ANYTHING else Now let us have little law
for the poor and the strugglIng-just one little
line for the man who is down. BE good
enough to give this matter such attention as II
deserves, and help repeal this odions law

bordered with pure white, and, unlike most
OF the white edged Geraniums, the leaves 90
not cup or rutfie IN the center, but are as Eat
and satisfactory in form as those of the sell
colored Geraniums. 1t does not grow IN Inc
spindling fashion quite common to most Ivy
eavcd Geraniums, but the joints are close TO-
cether, and the leaves set close to the stem,
thus forming a good mass OF foliage. Inc
marking of the leaves Is very regular and does
not often have botchy effect For button-hole
bouquets, or ornaments for the hair, they are
very fine as they combine well with most now
ers, and remain fresh long time Indeed
they are so beautiful that they are desirable
alone but OF course q flower or two renders
them more effective.

basket plant. The leaves are Of rich, glossy
green, and the habit of the plant is spreading.
as well as dropping, thus forming rounded
and symmetrical specimen, which IS always
more satisfactory than those plants which hang
straight down IN a limp and helpless fashion
This Begonia blossoms quite freely, ana !ts
salmon .colored flowers contrast timely Win lls

The Lobeia is charming little plant. It's
rich blue and white flowers have all the grace
of the Trailing Arbutus 1t is most protuse
boomer but 1t lacks in foliage. have been
best satisfied with it when it was grown win
some other plant that had the merit of having
plenty of leaves and few blossoms. In this
partnership way grow a basket or the varle
gated Vlnca, Harrisonie, and Lobelia, and the
result Is good. The Ninca trails over the bas
ket with its green and yellow branches and
the Lobeia runs among them and over the top
of the basket, furnishing profuslon OF bril-
liant flowers all through the season.
The Oxalis is a charming plant for basket
The foliage is bright and pretty, and SO pro-
fuse that the pot is soon hidden by It. II Is
almost always in bloom and l know OF no
other plant that blossoms so profusely. Inc
best variety Is Of a lively rose-color, and the
clusters Of pretty flowers have spicy IRA
GRANGE that is something like that of the Ar
butus.
Smilax IS another favorite basket plant. Its
leaves are small, but very fine IN color and
shape, and its dropping or climbing habit is
graceful. 1t must be kept free from dust, and
it must be watched to see that the red spider
docs not gain lodging place upon it. This
matter is easily regulated if my plan of dip.
ping the plants Is followed regularly.
The variety of baskets used for growing
these plants in is endless. Those of wire, lined
with moss, are pretty, but dry ont rapidly. One
plants is the large nautilus or conch-shell.
Home made baskets, covered with bark. or
grape.vlnes twisted in any shape to suit your
fancy are just as good as any you could buy
The pot or basket is of secondary importance,
If the plant grows well, for it will soon be
covered Plants that do not droop much should
have the ornamental pots, while the others do
not care for them.-faU. Rec.

RatiOns for Calves,

Calves digest whole corn better than older
catter. as we found by careful experiment,
very little comparatively passing them undi-
gestcd. This Is probably caused by better mas
tcaton, and also by more active digestive or
gans. The best formula out Of these three
foods for calves is to mix shell corn and bran
in equal proportions by weight, and then mix
one pound of oil meal for each calf per day.
As much of the corn and bran may be ted as
IS found to be Judlcious. Let us suppose the
actual ration to be pounds of corn and bran
mixed, one pound of oil meal and IL pounds
of prairie hay. The ration must he graduated
to the weight of the calf Some might require
more than this, and others less; but this would
be about the average. Thus ration would cost,
at the prices named, 1885 cents per week, and
If fed twenty weeks the cost would be $7.77
per head. If The season should be favorable,
Shor,horn or Hereford grades would gam at
least pounds per day, or $50 or more pounds
per head. The cost of this would be 231 cents
per pound gain. DecortIca,ed cotton-sced
meal ought to he found at Chicago or St.
Louis at $l5 to $50 per ton; and linseed meal
made under the new process, is purchasable
at the mills at $50 per ton, which would
slightly lessen the cost. But the mode of Civ
ing the ration is of considerable consequence
If this corn, bran, etc, are mixed with cut hay,
so that the hay and corn must be eaten 10
geher, a more perfect digestion will take
place. The grain ration should be fed in two
parts-half in the morning and half in the
evening. One peck Of cut hay to each calf at
q feed is sufficient The hay should be dis
trbuled in trough, and The corn, bran and
ollmeal mixed with it. They will then eat
the hay and grain together. Long hay may
be given them at noon. A rack with trough
on each side is best, the uncut fodder being
given in rack. The oimeal will keep their
stomachs in good condition If it is imprac-
ticable to cut this small amount of hay, the
next best way is to spread a thin layer of hay
in the through and distribute the mixed feed
over the top. They will eat more or less of
the hay with the grain feed, and raise and re-
mas'icate all together, producing a porous
condition of the food in the stomach.-Nd-

"Oh, woman, In our hours of ease,
Deceitiul, coy, and hard TO please;
But seen too Oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
That certain women of brain and Intelli.
gence desire and are fitted for other than sen.

euse and beauty, Miss Phoebe Cousins, pose
and pirate brilliant emptiness by the hour; has
seen the unfatigueable old war-nag Miss
Susan b. Anthony reappear on the platform,
where years ago she first arrested his childish
admiration with proof that a woman could
manage a deliberative body with skill, tact
and readiness not inferior to that of Banks or
Blaine. Now | am quite free to admit that
there is no proof of ability IN mere talk, and
have some sympathy with the Indians who
murdered the Government Agent because he

man to be always able to say the right thing
in the right place is proof Of ability, Of better
ability than, with rare exception, we have in
either house of Congress Mesdames Anthony
and Stanton say the right thing in the right
place. The younger bloods do not. They are
mostly untempered, fre-eyed haters of the
cherished traditions of the sex; they never as
sumo a vertical position before an audience
but that they say fantastic things. Miss Cou-

forsooth, he declined TO occupy seat on the
platform at woman's rights convention, with
no better excuse than that his committee held

Hanging Plants.

While hanging or basket" plants are al
ways popular, they are almost always unsatIs-
factory. The reason is, generally, that they
are allowed to get too dry. Sometimes they
are kept too far from the light, and heir leaves
turn yellow and drop But the trouble comes
most frequently from lack of sufficient water.
They are exposed to the air on all sides, and
are generally hung IN the dryest portion OF air
In II house, so that evaporation takes place
more rapidly than Is the case with plauts as
grown in ordinary pots. In watering them,
the best plan is 10 suspend them In a barrel of
water and leave them there until the soil Is
thoroughly soaked through. On removing
them from this bath, hang them on the veran
da To drain before taking them into the house.
The fresh air will do them as much good rs
the watering. This submerging keeps the
leaves clean also and thIrk if you try this
plan you will find no trouble in growing them
well, as it provides for all their needs in The
line of water, air and cleanliness But If YOU
give them little dribble of water now and
then YOU need not lie surprised If your baskets
are failures. II is good plan To have twice
a many as you need, ana let one set do duty
in the parlOr while the other hangs on thever
auda Change them once a week, and ny 50
doing you will be able 10 keep them all IN the
very best health.
One of the most satisfactory basket plants
with me is the ivy-leaved Geranium, l. ie-
gante. Ii has foliage of the true vy-shape,
