When Houston was running for Governor
the warden of the penitentiary bitterly OPP
posed his election After the election, and
when it was known that the old veteran had
been chosen, the warden became exceedingly
friendly. He came to General Houston and
endeavored to plead his own cause for re.
appointment The general received him most
cordially and expressed himself as very much
delighted to see him. He inquired in what
way he could serve him. "Well," said the
warden 81 came to ask for a reappointment"
"Ah," said the general, 81 am glad you have
done so; but what claims have you to the
position ?" "Well, governor, l have held the
place for number of years, and the prison
has greatly prospered under my administers
ton. | have maintained the strictest economy
in all expenditures. l have been honest in
all the years have held the trust, and what
more can a man present rs claims to office
then honesty, ability and economy" After
the warden had sounded his praise for some
time he paused for breath, General Houston
all the time paying the most earnest attention
to what he was saying. When he paused,
the general asked: You have been in this
position long time?' Eyes, sir" Ger

Family Expenses.

After religion and politics there is nothing
about which intelligent people differ so radi-
cally as what they call the cost of living. A
skilled man in some departments of business

be in debt. Some acquaintance of his, with
similar salary and large family, lives com.
fortably, sends his. boys.to college, drives a
good horse and has snug little bank &C

lars a day who comfortably feed and clothe a
family of half II dozen people, while some OF
their fellow workmen, married, but without
Children live meanly, wear shabby clothes
on Sunday and are occasionally elected from
their homes for non-payment of rent. The
principal cause of the difference may almost
always be found in the family arder, and the

others will serve just rs much meat and

on the harder. Excitable people will eat

they will not do more work.

a number of men and women have mas

other nearly $1,000, and the cheaper parlor
was the prettier. 1t takes longer to learn

istence, no matter how much or how little
money its devotee may have.

The broker protested and objected, but fl.

TIC Raise Plants.

A lady, whose beautiful plants are the de-

quaintances, revealed the secret of her sue
cess for the benefit of the readers CT the Esen-

about two.thirds good garden soil, and the
rest is sand 1t is kept light and loose about
the roots; they are watered as they appear to
need it, and not according to any particular
rule; but the chiefreason for their wonderful
growth and bloom is this when any of
the leaves wither and fall, instead of picking
them up and throwing them away, | make
little rolls of them and tuck them down in
the earth and let them decay; and this is the
only fertilizer l have ever used" This she

Oil for Wagon Wheels.

A practical man says 81 have wagon of
which, six years ago, the fellies shrank so
that the tires became loose. gave it good
coat of hot oil, and every year since ithas had
coat of oil or paint sometimes both. The
tires are tight yet, and they have not been set
for eight or nine years. Many farmers think
that as soon as wagon felies begin 10 shrink
they must go Mt once to a blacksmith shop
and get the tire set. Instead of doing that,
which is often damage to the wheels, caus
ing them to dish, if they will get some linseed
oil and heat it boiling hot and give the fellies
all the oil they can take, it will fill them up
to their usual size and tighten to keep them
from shrinking, and also to keep out the
water. If you do not wish to go to the trou
BILE of mixing paint, you can heat the oil and
tie rag to a stick and swab them over as
long as they will take oil A brush is more
convenient to use, but swab will answer if
you do not wish to buy brush. 1t is quite
saving of time and money to look after the
woodwork of farm machinery. Alternate

wood soon to decay and lose its strength un-
less kept well painted. 1t pays to keep lit

yokes, whitfletrees, and any ofthe small tools
on the farm that are more or less exposed"

COmpaniOnabIe PEOPLE.

In every society we find that the people
who are called companionabe are those who
have knack of making light of their tribu-
lations and vexations, and habit of putting
them out OF sight; who do not entertain their
acquaintance with the recting of bad bak-
ing, leaky pipe, the children's measles, the
shortcomings of the servants who know how
to keep their melancholy, if they have any,
out of the conversation whose nerves do not
furnish them with material for a morning
call who are not always on the look out for
drought, or change of weather, or slight;
who do not lament their poverty aloud, and
make us feel responsible for it and uncom-
Portable amid our plenty. The companona-
Bile people never seek to make us dissatisfied
with ourselves or our belongings; they talk
about the things we like to hear, and are 81
lent upon the subjects on which we disagree ;
they do not differ from us for the sake of diff
tering, and do not announce their opinions as
ii there was 10 appeal therefrom.

The Weak and the Impure.
The merry little mountain brook,
as it lightly dances over the rocks
and sparkles in the sunshine on its
way down to the river, is pure and
clean. 1t is active; therefore, it is
healthy. 1t is vigorous; therefore,
it resists impurity.
But the sluggish pool, where the
current is not strong enough to keep
The water in motion, is stagnant and
:oul. Dirt and rubbish are thrown
into it, and stay there. Impurities
and vile odors make it a breeder of
disease and an object to be avoided.
When the blood is strong and rich
and red, and vigorously courses its
accustomed rounds through arteries
and veins, the system is hearty and
healthy.
When the blood is thin and poor
and weak, impurities and defilements
creep into it, and it has no strength
to cast them out. Then the system
runs down.

only preparation of iron which can
enrich the blood, and make it pure,
vigorous, and healthy. A dollar a

Hints on Sleep.

The question of chief Importance to most
people in these overweight, wakeful days
and nights is how to get good sleep enough.
DR.. Corning drops a few simple hints which
may be of value. In the first place, people
should have regular time for going to sleep,
and it should be as soon. lean well be after
sunset. People who sleep at any time, ac-
cording to convenience, get less benefit from
their sleep than Others getting sleep becomes
more difficult there is tendency to nervous
excitability and arrangement; the repair of
the system does not equal the waste. The
more finely organized people are, the greater
the difficulty and the danger from this cause.
The first thing in order to sleep well is to go
to bed at regular hour, and making it as
early as possible. The next thing is to ex-
clude all worry and exciting subjects of
thought from the mind some time before re-
firing. The body and mind must be let down
from the high pressure strain before going TO
bed, so that nature can assert her rightfu
supremacy afterwards. Another point is,
never to thwart the drowsy impulse when it
comes at the regular time by special efforts
to keep awake, for this drowsiness is the
advance guard of healthy, restorative sleep -
Sleep is boon which must not be tempered
with and put off, for if compelled to wait, it
is is never so perfect and restful as iftaken in
IN Its own natural time and way. The right
side is the best to sleep on, except in special
cases of disease, and the position should be
nearly horizontal. Finally, the evening meal
should be composed of food most easily di.
gested and assimiated, 80 that the stomach
will have little hard work to do. A heavy,
rich dinner taken in the evening is one ofthe
things that murder sleep. Late suppers with
exciting foods and stimulating drinks make
really restorative sleep next to impossible
Narcotics are to be avoided, save as used in
cases of disease by competent physicians
The proper time, according to Dr. Corning,
to treat sleepessness is in the day time, and
it must be treated by a wise and temperate
method of living rather than by medicines
This is good common sense, says the Ne'o
York Star, from which paper we copy, and
doubtless vast deal of the debility, nervous
arrangement, and the insanity of our time
would be prevented by more good, restful
natural Sleep

IN THE AUTUMN TIME.

The dying year grows strangely mild
Now in the haZy autumn weather,
My heart Is like happy child,
And life and /, friends reconciled,
Go over the hills together.
My peaceful days run sweet and still
As waters slipping over sand,
Seeking the shadows of free Will
To gather tenderer lights than fill
Days over-lavish hand.
The summer wood with music rings;
The singers is troubled breast;
am no more the bird that sings
But that which broods with folded wings
Upon its quiet nest.

o, sweetest days In life they meet;
Within, without, Is autumn cheer,
September there, September here,
So tranquil and SO sweet.
Oft have watched all night with grief,
All night with JOY, and which is best?
All both were sharp and both were brief,
My heart was like wind-blown leaf,
| gave them both for rest
Fair Quiet close to Joy, allied,
But loving shadier walks to keep,
By day is ever at my side;
And all night long with me abide
Peace and her sister Sleep.

LIMA BEANS AS A FARM CROP


The Lima, the most popular bean
among amateurs and -narkcr-gardners,
is slow in finding its way into the gar
dens of farmers. The dry beans sell for
several dollars bushel, and the market
has never been adequately supplied.
Lima beans are easily raised, and yield
rs beautifully rs most other pole-beans;
aud they continue to blossom and bear
until killed by the frost. We know of
no reason why they cannot be made
speciality, like hops or tobacco, and
grown on a large scale. They would
require better soil and treatment than
the common field bean, but as the price
is three times greater, these could well
be afforded. A rich gravelly or sandy
loan suits them best, and the phosphate
manures are we'll adapted to them. On
this kind of soil we have not found
them to run too much to vines, even
with heavy dressings of compost pre-
pared from muck and stable manure.
The vine is a strong grower, and re-
quires abundant nourishment. The
pods are formed quite thickly from the
top to the bottom of the poles. They
want the full benefit of the sun, and
the rows. running nsrth and south,
should be four feet apart, and the hills
four feet in the row. In planting we
prefer to put the eye downwards, and
not more than one inch deep. The
first of June is early enough for this
latitude. This bean needs frequent cul-
tivation until the vines shade the
ground. This crop is we'll suited for
farmers remote from cities and markets
The market gardner will not grow Lima
beans to sell dry, because they are
worth more in the green state, and be
can sell all he can raise. But the farm
err, however remote from the city, can
market his whole crop in the winter,
aud be well paid for his laber.
