The Quartette Choir.

The Quartette Choir.
BY FRED. D. PORTER.
OF all the modes to fill church
That ever have been hit on,
From the gorgeous blazonry over head
To the velvet couch we sit on:
For making the Christian feel that the time
Is near at hand he prays for,
And putting the sinner quite at ease
In the costly pew he pays for;
There is none which makes Beelzebub
So cOpiously perspire
AS the artistic waverings
Of the high-toned quartette choir.
There are few old fashioned souls
Would have religion bore us
By filling up the organ loft
With an ear rending chorus;
Or, worse still, want the worshipperS
To tune up all together.
Like party OF frogs out in the boys
Or crickets before wet weather.:
But there's no part Of our service
Meets such general desire,
As the cultivated warnings
OF the well paid quartette choir.
An uptown church called to mind,
Was head over ears in debt;
They changed their preacher quarterly,
But still they couldn't get
The slightest notion what would put
A solid basis under 'em
Till Deacon Snigley. in his bank,
One day solved the conundrum:
ITO draw eligible sinners
And Christian zeal inspire,
We would just go in on The business prin.
And charter a quartette choir"
They've tried the plan two years, the first,
They filed up all their pews
At tony rents; and now their debt
Is paid, and they've to choose
How to spend two thousand surplus;
And their pastor gets richer
Compensation for his labors
Than first-clasS base ball pitcher,
Besides they pay his summer trip
To cool Lake Athabaska,
And thousand dollars to promote
Home missions-in Alaska.
Oh, to search the sinners marrow,
And the Christians soul to fire,
There's nothing can get away, you BET,
With rafting quartette choir!
We advertise our programme:
tell you what it pays,
To make religion drop her starch
And step in business ways.
In the morning. first select duet,
For tenor and contralto,
Second, high soprano solo,
With till On D Sin dlto,''
First evening. number" presto time.
An alternating trio:
Then our baSso wi i stretch his diaphragm
And rambie on flow Gu Oh!
These extra members have, besides,
This point in our affairs:
They rest the preacher-and the flock
By cutting down the prayers,
We could give away our bell
We could give away our spire-
We could give away Our pastor
But not our quartette cheir.

had just taken a quiet breakfast and walked
out upon the street, when came upon two gen.

street, near the public buildings. One Of them
was an ex-cOnfederate general Of distinction

he was evidently showing the interesting points
in and about the Monumental City. joined the

friend that the monument commemorated the
battle Of North Point, fought during the war Of
1872.

confederate soldier to me. Ibid you attend the
Guiteau trial 2"
This reference to the absorbing topic of the
day naturally turned the conversation upon it,
The question of the assassin's sanity was dis
eussed and some points of the crime when the
general remarked:
''Joh1 Wilkes Booth was born not far from
this spot. and his body was buried in this CITY,
..Where?'
''In Greenmount Cemetery out on the York
road which is called GreenmOunt avenue until
the cemetery is passed"
An hour later found me at the gate Of Green
mount. so named for the very natural reason
that it is literally a green mount or rather

encroaching upon IT. and i'm a short time it will
be well within the closely built limits of the
city and surrounded by new dwellings, and pos
sibly noisy factories. instead of the open fields

dead. GreenmOunt was once an ideal locality
for a cemetery. and it is still beautiful Rising

NO, sir; not ALL He had given out that he
had made great deal of money in oil specula-
tons. and suppose he had, for he showed me

Booth came to Washington evidently bent upon
the single errand of capturing the President
Grinding that all his plans for the abduction
had failed. and the end of the war was growing
nearer and nearer. he, at the very last moment,
determined to take the desperate chance of as
sassinatiOn. Booth was a very gifted young
man, and was u great favorite in society in
Washington. He was engaged, it was said, to
young lady of high position and character. I
understood that she wrote to Edwin Booth after
the assassination telling him that she was his
brothers betrOthed, and would marry him, even
at the foot of the scaffOld.'

Culture of Cucumbers For Pickles.

The ground should be plowed once or
twice in the spring, and if sod land it
should be turned over the previous fall.
After the middle of June furrOw out the
field, having the burrows from four to
five feet apart; in these burrows, make
the hills, and in each hill put a shovelful
of well-rotted manure, over which throw
q little earth. and on this plant the seed.
The cultivator may be used in cultivat-
ing, though the work around the hills
requires the hand-hoe. When the vines
begin to run, pinch them off at the thil d
joint and the crop will be increased.
For pickles the seed should be sOwn the
latter part of June or the first of July.
The best variety for this purpose is the
Green Prolific. 1t is well to plant plenty
of seed, as the s'striped bug" may de-
stroy some; and when the vines begin
to run. all but three plants to a hill may
be pulled up. Fine bOne-fOur sprinkled
on the hills every day or two often r:ds
the vines of these pests. A solution of
tobacco put on the vines in the early
morning and then sprinkling of bone
dust are effectual, but there is nothing
better than -four of sulphur mixed with
plaster or fineiy-sified coal ashes. We
have no statistics IT hand concerning
the yield, cost and profit per acre,
iurther than that a large grower on
Long Island realized . profit of from
1925 to $3.50 per acre when the cucum-
bers were contracted for at Sl.75 thou

Spring Jackets.

There are decided changes in the
styles of jackets for early spring wraps.
Those of last year were English and mas
culine-looking, with q coat collar. double
breasted cut-away fronts, side pockets,
seams across the hips, open seams with
flaps at the back, and many large but
tons. The new jackets are essentially
French and feminine, as they are fitted
to the figure, are single-breasted, high
about the throat, are of even length all
around. qui'e far below the hips. with
every seam closed to the end, have in-
conspicuous buttons, and in many cases
IRE completed by q belt. to which bag
Is attached. These come in Gght-coi-
ured cheyioss and other cloths of light
weight. Tan aud coachmen' s drab are
the mos. stylish shades, though gray is
sometimes .he prevailing hue, when IL
Eliminating threads of red. blue or green
are introduced in the cloth. Small
blocks and checks larger than pin-head
checks. and melange of colors, each OF
which is in slight dashes, are preferred
to the twilled cloths of solid color; there
arc also some larger irregular plaids
used, and occasionally there are striped
wraps. The novelty for trimming these
garments Is the onaJre striped satin
