TranspIansing.

While transplanting can be successful
with nearly every tree or plant, the far
mers are mostly interested in few plants
Of quite leafy growth, such as cabbage,
turnips, beets and tomatoes. With these
there Is often a saving Of labor in culti-
walton and wedding by growing them in
beds or hills and when of proper size set
them at proper distances in freshly
plowed ana cultivated earth, where by
their larger size they are ahead of the
inevitable weed growth, thus making
their care much less than il would be II
sown where they were 20 grow. The
season can also be prolonged. as either
hotbeds or cold frames can he brought
through the last cold DAYS OF early
spring by slight protection. The sue
cess is surer II the plants are grown with
enough room TO give them considerable
substance in the root and stalk II is
often the best practice, for crops that
are grown wholly in the summer. 10 SOW

Care of Canaries.

If you have large cage you will have
less music, for the canary will be taken
up with the amusement of hopping
about and forget his song. Supply plen-
ty of water for a good, clean splash fresh
every morning A breakfast saucer
makes a good bath-tub Painted or
brass wire cages are bad for canaries, as
the verdigris from the latter and paint
from the former are sure to be picked
off and slowly poison the bird. Let the
food be as true to nature as possible, ripe
seed for the staple, and now and then a
bit of apple, hard-boiled egg, or lump
alternately of sugar and rock salt. Let
the seed be put in fresh, for the bird is
like any other Gagged creature Tor UNI
Gagged, for that matter) and does not like
its food after it has been picked over.
When moulting keep rusty nail in the
water he drinks. If he becomes dull
and the feathers hang loosely from the
body, be sure the little creature has
either been frightened or hanging in
draught and caught cold, or been over
feeding. A little magnesia in his drink
ing water will probably remedy the evil.
II he has worse symptoms give two drops
of castor oil. In palring-timc it is neces-
sary to watch closely if the mate agrees
with your bird, as canaries have been
known to kill an intruder, and really
have preferences. If happily mated,
there is much more likelihood of rearing
their young; and they must have separate
baths and feeding-cups in case of a quar-
rel, or the weaker bird may be starved,
for it is an exploded idea that thirds in
theiriittle nests agree" If the canary
takes a fit, plunge him in cold water.
Sweets are not natural food for birds and
must be given sparingly. in fact, adhere
as closely as possible to the natural food,
and keep the cages clean-washing oc-
casionally with carbolic soap to keep
clear of vermin. -RuraE Nese Yorker.

Tale OF a spoon.

A CORRESPONDENT tells US of a.ssinner scene
which happened at Airth in the last gen
Grafton. Mrs. Murray of Abercairney was
among the guests, and at dinner one of
family noticed that she was looking for
the proper spoon to help herself to salt.
The old servant Thomas was appealed
TO that the want might be supplied. He
did not notice the appeal. IL was
repeated in more peremptory manner
Thomas, Mrs. Murray has not salt
spoon"
To this Thomas replied most emphati-
eally,-
Last time Mrs. Murray dined here we
lost a salt spoon"

"A variety of food, =" SAYS writer, ''is

timothy and clover, other varieties are

Olaf Rygh the Norwegian Herodotus,

In paper read before the Philadelphia

thus forced upon the lungs, just as by
the inhalation of nitrous oxide gas.

Of its efficacy says DR.. Bonwill. Twas
the case of a boy of eleven years of age,
for whom had to extract the upper and
lower first permanent molars on both
sides. He breathed rapidly for nearly a
minute. when l removed in about twenty
seconds all four of the teeth. He de-
clared there was no pain, and we needed
no such assertion. for there was not the

SETTLES NOTHING.

The Emporia Republican says that st.
Johns unqualified denial that he was bought
mp by the Democrats convinces an intelli-
gent pnblic that the report was campaign
lie. 1t settles nothing and conyinces nobody,
ii we except the worshippers Of the saint
and may be the editor Of the Republican.
Any man who could act as he did would not
be too good for anything. He has given
himself the public lie too often since last
Jnly. The Republican would do well to
await developments, which we think will
come in a very short time if Mr.. st. j. don't
drop down and out of notice. If St John
don't lie then large number Of men who
have heretofore been unimpeached lie most
numerically. But outside of all that the
man must be almighty dumb who can't sec
that ST. Johns entire canvass was in the in
terest of Cleveland and the Democratic
party and against Blaine and the Republican
party. That fact goes without the saying.
1t was also against, as about everybody ad-
mits, the best interests of the temperance
cause. If money was not the secret Of his
action then suggest some or any other pos
sible motive. Under such charges the rep
rebate could do nothing else but deny; he
was compelled to deny or admit, and even
the Republican could hardly have expected
him 10 admit his own shame.

FEW KNOW,

Here is an item from an officer of the

many readers:
don't believe one man in ten could tell
you what heads are upon the different de-

ers would hesitate before replying if you

learned that the heads were locat-
ed as follows. On United States

$40, Robert Morris; $50, Commodore Deca-

$500, A. Lincoln; $1,000, Alexander Hamil-
ton; 5000, James Madison and $4,000,
Andrew Jackson.
The. bonds now outstanding are the AZ
per cents, the Az and 8 per cents, though
the most of the AIS and As have been re-
funded into the 3's. The heads upon the
AIS were: $50, Oliver Wolcott; 500,

ton; $1,000, Alexander Hamilton; 5000,
George NJ. Dallas; $4,000, General Geo.

cent bonds there were William II. Sew

son on the $1,000, Thaddeus Stephens on

JUDGE PETERS SPEECH.

Hon. Samuel K Peters. member of con-
gress from this district delivered an ex-
haustive speech before the house on the Sd
inst, on the question of Interstate COM
merce, and the appointment of commits
sion to regulate such commerce, in which he
went into the whole question of the carry
ing trade and its bearing on the products Of
the country. He takes the ground that it is
the producer and not the consumer who
pays the transpo, tation bills, which be Illus
trated with many actual facts and figures.
He said, among other things, that the law OF
demand and supply in its relation to the
value of product is an arbitrary one. 1t
takes no notice of the cost of transportation;
il takes no notice of the cost of produc-
ton. But if the common carrier charges
unreasonable rates for transportation does
not change the price Of the product in the
market, but it simply lessons the compensa-
tion which the producer receives for the
production of that product. 1t does moi
benefit the consumer, but, on the other
hand, if Injuries the producer. In short, il
Increases the tax upon production, not for
tine benefit of the producer or consumer, but
for the benefit of the common carrier.
As to determinations he took the broad
ground tina. there is no such thing as jus;
discrimination in transportation.
In one thing we agree heartily, wherein be
says that the absence Of competition means
the presence of extortion. Competition is
the friend of the masses and the foe of mo-
nopolies. 1t is the friend of honest toll and
the foe of luxuriant idleness. Ii is the
friend of fair-dealing and the foe of swind-
ling. 1t is the friend of honest accumula-
ton and the foe of gambling.
He concluded his very able speech in
these words:
am not one of those who believe in de-
CRYING the grand and glorious results that
have accrued TO this country by reason of
the successful building ofrailroads through
out Its borders. | am not one of those who
believe in losing sight of the immense inter-
