Timely Hints to Husbandmen.

One of the best spring vegetables is
spinach 1t is very hardy and before
the snow is gone it gives us an agree
able taste of the coming vegetables.
Like the turnip it requires rich ground
to do very well. 1t is best to SOW it
broadcast, raking it in when sown, and
if possible in garden, rolling it 1t
will soon come up and reach some con-
siderable size before frost. When
frost comes the spinach bed should be
covered with straw, or some other lit
ter, keeping it down with poles. The
plant is hardy enough without this pro-
lection but as the object is early We
getables, the earliness is assisted by
this covering There is at least two
weeks of difference in the value of
crop covered and one left to take its
chances. The covering need not be
deep. 1t may be laid over so that the
earth can be seen here and there through
it. If the heaviest of the sun is shut
out, that is all that is wanted for it is
the sun in winter pouring its rays on
the frost covered plants that seem to
do the harm, so it is as much the shade
as the straw that brings the benefit.
BY sowing the latter part of this month
or the beginning of September it will
produce an autumn crop; but for
spring use it should be sown the latter
part of September or the first week in

The gold annually taken from 81
berian mines is estimated to be worth
$6,000,000. The first discovery of
the metal in that country was made at
the beginning of this century. The
average cost of an expedition in search
of gold is estimated at $4,000. There
fore, only ca .italists can indulge in
the luxury of experiments. One of
the principal operators is said to have
spent quarter OF a million before
finding any ore. The miners are paid
only $3 month, with board and
lodging. The sale of liquor is forbid
den within twelve miles from each
shaft, that discipline may be maintain
ed. The number of mines has large
ly increased since the second quarter
of the present century, but that period
was the most prosperous in the his
tory of Siberian mining The labor
of the serfs then cost next to nothing
though the pay of the workmen is now
pitiably small.

Cheap sponges.


We have all seen them. They are

city The south side of Union Square
is one of their favorite haunts. They
are very pretty to look at-so white
and clean and nice, and withal 80 won.
derfully cheap. The hpppy purchaser
feels that he has made point on the
grasping druggist who sells the same
article at fifty cents, and goes on his
way rejoicing. One thing is evident
on the face of the matter, either the
druggist or the five cent man is a
swindler.
A case recently came to our knowl.
edge that is so good an illustr alton of
the effects of short sighted economy
that we cannot forbear giving our
readers the benefit. A visitor at tile
house of friend in this city noticed
one day that the three youngest chill
dren oftbe family, and also the nurse,
had a peculiar affection of the eyes,
which were noticeably swollen and
bloodshot. He inquired the cause, but
the mother did not know--thought it
was a little thing which would soon
pass off The visitors curiosity was
excited, however, and being of logi-
cal and investigative turn of mind, he
came TO the conclusion that the cause
of the trouble must be something in
the nursury and probably in the bath
ing arrangements. Upon looking fur
ther he found one of these bleached
sponges He asked The mother where
she got it, and the reply was that it
was great bargain, and been bad picked
up at five cent counter That was
enough to explain the whole matter If
you will take the trouble to smell one
of these cheap sponges, you will find
that there is about il an oder Of chloride
of lime. The chloride of lime is useful
to disiufect them. They need disinfec-
ton, because they have been used in
hospitals, for washing out wounds, and
in other ways imaginable, and then
thrown away, perhaps, to be picked up,
bleached, and sold to economical per-
sons who wish to get great bargain,
More details might be given, but per
haps this short statement of the case is
sufficient. If the Board of Health
were in the hab of paying any atten
ton to little matters affecting the pub
lie hygiemp, we would suggest to then,
to put stop on this five cent nuisance.

A Virginia lady caught her husband
in the act of kissing a pretty colored
girl, who had been recently employed
as nurse. She said nothing to him, but,
summoning the girl before her that

oen have fought their way in obseur-

men have fought their way in obseur-
i,y for years. No doubt, some
fields are more promising for literary
men than others. But it is part of
the business Of one wanting recogni-
ton and appreciation, to find his
field-to fight for the occupation.
If one sort OF work does not win, try
another, until the right vocation has
been found. Suppose a young man
tries literature, the most uncertain
of all vocations. He does not sue
coed. He imaglnes he does good
work, but it is not wanted. Does
the world neglect him more than
others ?Not bit; the world does
not care for ones pretentions. 1t
only wants to know who can do
certain kinds of work better than
others. 1t may be slow III finding
this out. But it does find it out III
the long run.
The man who lets go his grip, be
cause he has not succeeded, and
leaves the world as a suicide, shows
tha: his judeemen; has been strange
ly at fault. lie has undervalued
life, has trit]ed with it, and lie goes
out of the world more as a trit1er
than as an earnest and courageous
man. There is no better moral for
such cases. It is running away on
tie battlefield from duty and from
life, and that is the realistic view
which every brave and healthy soul
is compelled to take Of such instan-
ces. The failures of life are a part
of its discipline. Soldiers who suffer
defeat are al the better because they
have been under fire; and there will
come a time when these veterans will
surely win the victory. In the long
run, every defeat becomes a condi-
tion Of success If it is rightly turned
to account. Somewhere in the world
every good man and woman is
wanted. Their work, life, patient
aud courageous example, are wanted.
The men who let go the grip, leav-
ing sentimental notes behind, leave
nothing which can be helpful to those
who are still fighting the battle.
There is no example of foititude,
courage or high endeavor. Of those
who so by suicide because they have
become insane from infrmities which
could not be helped, nothing is SAID
here. But letting go the grip be-
cause there is conviction that there
is lack of appreciation, it is little
to say that they have undervalued
life and have not had the courage to
fight the battle for success. .-lKorniag

Northern Pacific Il. r. Lands,

What is demanded of the
Northern Pacific Railroad, says
the East Oreyonia,e, is that the COM
pany be compelled to convey their
lands to tie actual settler at maxi
mum appraised value 50 so per acre.
At the time the last extension was
granted the Northern Pacific Com
pany agreed to sell their lands at
this figure. Greed and extortion,
however. will always find means to
avoid their engagements where they
have no conscience to appease. The
Northern Pacific, the Oregon I'm
provement and the Oregon Railway
and Navigation companies have
formed mutual benefit association
and are playing into each others
hands as against the peoples inter-
est. In Whitman county, w. t.,
sham sales of these lands have been
made by the Northern Pacific Com
pany to the Oregon Improvement
at 81 60 per acre, while that
company appraises the land to the
actual settler at from $40 to SIS per
acre. This practice the company
will follow up as they come into pos
session of the lands by completing
sections of the road. The settler
cannot pay this extoriionate sum and
the result is the company will rob
him of his lands and obtain the ben
eft of his improvements and outlay
of money. The people of this
country, Republicans as we'll as
Democrats, equally see their danger
and are equally anxious to avoid it.
To this end is proposed that printed
petitions be circulated in every vot-
ing precinct in Eastern Oregon and
Washington petitioning Congress, as
above stated, that i'll case a futher and
unmerited extension is granted the
Northern Pacific that it be coupled
with a .proviso, unambiguous In
it's terms and not permitting of evas-
ion, compelling a sale of these lands
to the pioneer who redeems them at
the maximum rate of 81 60 per acre.
We hope and believe the general
press will aspread the good work. !"

Mr.. Boileau, a young man who

grafton Agent, having been selected
by the Secretary of State for the
post. hasAeturned to England in the

a shameful imposition upon the

criticised publicly in the Legislature

allowed to pass unnoticed we should
be in danger OF having u public
