New Mode of Treating Tomatoes.

Ny practice is to excavate in the early
spring time as many fiat turnips as are
needed and having filled the cavity with
earth, plant two or three seeds in it,
selecting the best plant, when two inch
es or three inches high, to remain,
and pulling out the others; when it is
time to set them in the garden, place
the turnip, with its contents undisturbed,
in a hole deep enough to cover the tur.
nip two inches or three inches. Setting
out in this way, there is no cutting away
of the roots and little need of water, as
the plant has not been in the least dis
turbed, especially if Injured to the air
out of doors for a week or two before be-
ing set in the garden. L have started
tomatoes out so early that the plants
were in blossom several days before be-
ing set out, not being at all checked or
retardedin growth thereby. Cucumbers
started in the same way l have had in
bloom when set out with the same result.
After being put in the ground the tur-
nip soon decays. furnishing little food
for the plant. If the turnips are to be
kept long in the house before setting out.
it will be well to put them in boxes, filling
the interstices with moss, sand, or earth,
kept moist, as too long exposure to the
hot air of warm place will cause the
turnips to wilt-the earth in which must
be kept moist, whether the turnip is in
or out of box. Another point is that
instead of being at the trouble of procur-
ing sharpening, and setting stakes, and
pulling and taking care of them at the
end of the season, started into growth
some sunAower seeds. To prevent too
much shade cut off the leaves of the
sunfower as faIssabove the tomato plant
as is necessary to give it all the air and
sunlight desirable. The Russian sun
flower, because of its very tall growth,
is the best for this purpose. The sun
flower makes the best and most profit
able stake, because it is so easily OBJ
tained-no loosening in the ground or
breaking of stakes when loaded with
fruit, and the seeds of the flower, which
are better than corn for poultry, album
dainty pay for all the time and labor in
caring for them. The leaves of the sun
flower also make good fodder. The
Russian sunfower also makes an excel
lent bean pole, though tits not necessary
to start them so early as for tomatoes,
as a growth of one and one half feet by
the end of June (bean-planting time) is
all that is needed.-COr. Country Gentle

An Orators Power.


1t was in the Clay campaign of 1874.
An immense audience, $4,000 or 10000,
Rad assembled to hear Preston. A large
stage had been erected, which was
crowded with prominent persons, and
the multitude was packed around it.
There was the usual buzz and confusion
incident to such occasions, until after
Preston had begun speaking few mo-
ments, when it began to subside and soon
there was a dead silence, except the
music of that wonderful voice. He was
in fine condition for his work and went
at it in his best style. The silence seemed
to intensity as the tide of his eloquence
poured over the dense mass of enchanted
listeners. With the swell of his sonorous
voice the audience seemed to rise on tip
toe and to sink back again with its ebb-
ing cadenees; and again they swayed
with the sweep of his arm like wheat
field to the breeze, At length, in mag
nificent burst of inspiration-with his
long arm raised high, his eyes flashing
and the multitude hanging breathlessly
to his words-he seized the brown wig
which he wore, held it up over his shining
bald head, and, still soaring in his SPLEEN
did flight,s replaced it cross-wise and
SCARED on; and there was not, in that
vast audience, the least ripple of laugh
ter at this most ridiculous performance,
but, on the contrary no one seemed to
notice it, SO completely entranced was
every listener Charlotte an O. ge1fF-

True Manliness as Revealed in a Young
Street Arab.

Sergeant - said diminutive speci-
men OF the street Arab, as he met an
officer wearing a sergeant's uniform, on
the street about ten o'clock last night I;
"can you send an officer to guard some
property to-nightP''
The urchin's clothes were tattered,
his face was dirty, and he was soaked
with rain; but there was a manly air
about him for all that. The officer
looked somewhat astonished at the
question coming from such strange
source, but asked kindly: s'What do
you want an officer for, my boy?"
Because" answered the child, and
tears filled his eyes, SCI was leaning
against store window on Chestnut
street, and I guess I pushed too hard
and the glass broke, and L couldn't
make anybody hear, so I started as fast
as could to find an officer, to keep
anybody from stealing the things in the
window. And, Sergeant, l have thirty
five cents 1 made selling papers to-day.
If give you that don't you think they
would let me go until l could make
money enough to pay for the glass? 1t
is every cent, have, but don't want to
go to jail.''
"Keep your money, my boy" said
the officer, 81 will see that the store is
guarded, and if you 90 and tell the own
er TO morrow, l don't believe he will
take cent from you. Anyhow, I can
trust You.''
"Thank YOU" said the boy, ''I will be
sure to 90 and see him, and will try
and save all the money I can to pay
him, if he wants it, And drying his
eyes, he went on, probably to a cheer
less honey. = Star.

An Old Ship.

We dare say there are many of our
citizens who have passed the meridian
of life who retain vivid recollection of
the excitement occasioned by the ar
rival at this port, nearly forty years
ago, of what was then considered the
colossal iron steamship, Great Britain,
from Liverpool. It may be said literal
ly that the whole city turned out to give
her a welcome; and as she moved up to
her wharf at the foot of Rutgers street,
she was saluted with salvos of artillery
and cheers from the multitude on both
shores of the East River. Many wears
have passed since she was in American
waters, and probably most people had
concluded that by this time she was
worn out and had been broken up and
sold for old iron. So far from that be-
ing the case, however, we notice that
her owners, after employing her for
many seasons to great advantage in the
Australian trade, have taken out her
machinery and converted into an A
No. 1 sailing ship. At last dates she
had taken on board 5000 tons of coal,
rs ballast, for San Francisco. And as
her hull is said to be as sound to-day as
On the day she left the stocks, there is
10 reason why she should not plow the
seas forty years longer and make new
fortunes for her OWners.-CO Commercial
