haps, because it looks too stiff, but the
picayune rose is superb, and then, we
have, without resorting to the bulbs, the

mirably adapted to the purpose, splen-
did and fragrant bloomer of the easiest
possible propagation.
SAVE DEMONSTRATING for convenience
of cultivation saves labor, and that re-
duces wages or cost. Many good farmers
use no hoes in corn or cotton, for hoeing
is both troublesome and costly. Why
not all learn to do it? In garden and
field large per cent of cost can be saved
by planting right and using cultivators.
The reason some farmers are obliged to
use the hoes in their corn is that they will
not take the pains to plant right, they
think it is too much trouble, but they
always double for it, either in labor of
their own hands or in wages to others.
Look around among the improved imple-
ments and see if you cannot do better.
1t is for your interest you do it, not ours.
QUALrrY AS WELL.-A strawberry
grower up North says he has found that
cultivation and manure has a great deal
to do with the quality as well as with the
quality of strawberries. lie also found
that last year where the Crescent grew on
an unusually rich piece of ground it
ceased to be pistilate requiring stam-
mate fertilizer, but the stamens which are
commonly small and abortive, were de-
veloped into swollen, good pollen holders.
1t will be we'll for growers generally to
make close observations in this direction
and experiments should be extended.

husbandman, who many years
Had plowsd his fields and sOwn in tears,
Grew weary with his doubts and fears
" | toll in vain! These rocks and stands
Will yield no harvest to my hands
The best seeds ret in barren lands
my dropping vine is withering
No promised grapes it's blossoms bring
No birds among its branches sing
My flock is dying on the plain
The heavens are brass-thcy yield no rain;
The earth is iron. toll In vain ~
While yet he spake breath had stirred
His dropping vine, like wing of birl,
And from lts leaves q voice he heard
" The germs and fruits of life must be
Forever hid in mystery;
Yet none can toll in vain for me.
" A lnightier hand, more skilled than thine
Must hang the cluster on the vine,
And make the fields with harvest shine
Z" Man can but work God can create;
But they who work, and watch, and wait,
Have their reward, though it come late.
Look up to heaven behold and hear
The clouds and thunderings in thy ear
And answer to thy doubts and fear
He looked, and 10 a cloud -drapcd car,
With trailing smoke and flames afar,
Was rushing to distant star.
And every thirsty flock and plain
Was raising up to meet the rain
That came to clothe the fields with grain
And on the cloud he saw again
The covenant of God with men,
Rewritten with his rainbow pen.
Seed-time and harvest shall not fail,
And though all enemies assaii
My truth and promise shall prevail

Partisan Malice.

The acquittal OF Congressman Phil Thompson,
Of Kentucky, who shot Mr.. Davis, is made the
occasion for characteristic articles in certain Re-
publican papers about the chivalry, and Ken
lucky jures, and the failure of justice at the
South, and similar political baderdash dating
back before the war
simultaneously with these criticisms, the pa
pers in question publish the final proceedings in
the trial of Dunn, who shot and killed Elliott in
Chicago, without the palliating circumstances
attending the killing Of Davis. Only short
time ago they recorded the acquittal of Dukes in
Pennsylvania, the cowardly and rufiianly muir
derer of MIR. Mutt, whose crime and its attendant
circumstances were a disgrace to civilization.
More recently they have chronicled the practical
acquittal of young Conkling, who shot Mr. Hav-
erstick in this city. The light penalty imposed
on the woman who deliberately shot the ticket
taker at a Bowery theatre is only Of recent date.
These instances of the acquittal of persons
who have taken human lite in the North could
be multiplied many times over without going
back any great length of time. What folly and
injustice then, on every occasion of such an oc-
currence in the Southern States to prate about
the failure of justice at the South" as if that
section stood alone in justifying killing Not
one Of the persons we have named had half the
excuse for his act that Mr. Thompson had for
shooting Davis.

ALrME.KILS CLUB SUFFERER.-The
chairman of the committee on the sick
reported that Arctic Shotwell, local
member living on Beaubien street, was
in bed and under the doctors care, and
had applied for aid from the relief fund.
"Did de committee diskiver de natur
of his complaint - asked President Gard
ner.
mot exactly, sab. De mind of de
pashent seemed to wander de day we
called, an as nigh as we could make out
he had fallen off house while sawin
wood for poor widder wild six chilren.'
His mind will wander wus dan dat
afore he gifts any money outer dis lodge.
replied the president. ''De cause of his
sickness am to foun' in de fack dat one
night las week he bet fifty cents dat he
could put teacup inter his mouf. He
won de bet, but when it cum to takin
de cup out it took doctor de best part
of two hours, an den he didn't purtend
dat he got all de small pieces. If dal
am any odder gem'lan in dis club wht
finks he kin airn his libin' by stretchin'
his mouf on small wagers, he may take
notis right now dat de club will expect
him to furnish his own chicken soup
an nav his own doctor bills"

BILL NYES RECIPES.

To remove oils, varnishes, resins, tar,
oyster soup, curant jelly and other selec-
tions from the bill Of fare, use bepzine.
To clean ceilings that have been smeared
by kerosene lamps or the fragrance from
fried salt pork, remove the ceiling. wash
thoroughly with borax, turpentine and
rain water, then hang on the clothes-line
to dry. After pulverize and spread over
the pie plant bed for spring wear. To
remove starch and roughness from fat
irons, hold the iron on large grindstone
for twenty minutes or so, then wipe of
carefully with rag. To make this ef-
fective the grindstone should be in mo-
ton while this is applied. Should
the iron stick to the goods when in use,
spit on it. To soften water for house.
hold purposes, put in an ounce Of quick
lime in q certain quantity Of water. II
it is not sufficient, use less water or more
quicklime. Should the immediate lime
continue to remain deliberate, lay the
water down on a stone and pound it with
4 baseball club. To give relief to a
burn apply the white of an egg. The
yolk Of the egg may be eaten or placed
on the shirt bosom, according to the taste
of the person. If the burn should occur
on a lady she may omit the last.
To wash black silk stockings, prepare
tub of lather composed Of tepid rainwater
and white soap, with little ammonia.
Then stand up in the tub till dinner is
ready. Roll in cloth to dry. DO not
wiring but press the water out. This
will necesstiate the removal Of the stock
ings. If your hands are badly chapped,
wet them in warm water, rub them all
over with Indian meal, then put on
coat of glycerine and keep them in your
pockets for ten days. If you have no
pockets convenient, insert them in the
pocket Of friend. Woolen goods may
be nicely washed if you put half an OK
gall into two gallons Of tepid water. IL
might be well to put the goods in the
water also If the mixture is not strong
enough, put in another OK gall. Should
this fail to do the work, put in the entire
OK, re.erving the tail for soup. The OK
gall is comparatively useless for soup
and should not be preserved as an article
of iet.-Laramie Boomerang.

Although proudly unwilling to seek any
attentions, Jane longed for some demon
stration of her husbands love and care !;
she had walked home in the rain too often
greatly to dread such exposure but a
week before, the wife had tasted the JOY
of being considered, and longed for some
new and further proof Of her companions
affection.
Mrs. fuckers heart leaped for JOY,
when, at noon, she saw the old mares
head from the lecture window. In
deed, her hungering heart suddenly be-
came quite unmanageable, and, entering
the carriage, poor, melted Jane sobbed
out: I'm sure it's very good of you,
Samuel, to come back for me this rainy
day." and then the tears flowed so fast
that further words were impossible.
Completely taken by surprise, Mr..

This confession was all too much for

vered: "You are not bit more TO blame

nate /; but tell you what it is, well be-
gin all over again"
The ice was now thoroughly broken,
and that afternoon Farmer Tucker and
his wife had a long talk over the past and
the future. And in the evening when they
were about TO start for the prayer meeting
to be held in a neighboring school-house,
the renewed husband stopped and kissed
his wife, saying;
