Simple Methods With GraDes.

Grapes are so easily grown that plant
vine almost anywhere you will, you can
depend upon abundant annual crops after
the third year, if clean culture and close
pruning are strictly attended to. The
vines should also be trained to Il single
stake six feet high, or to Il trcllis not
over five feet high. Don't allow the vine
to spread more than the same distance
each way. This gives all the room any
vine wants to produce the best results.
Many systems of pruning and training
are pictured ont i'll the books, but any
system that results in close annual prun-
ins will give an Abundance Of fruit at

TIPpECANOE AND TYLER, Too

There is another American song
which, although it is famous only in
memory, was growth of occasion, and
was dependent on its air for popularity,
and therefore claims a place IN a dis
cussion of the raison de'etre Of songs.
"Tippecanoe and Tyler, too" was to
the political canvass of 1870 what the
Marseillaise was to the French Revolu-
ton. 1t sang Harrison into the Presi-
dency. Through this half-maltial, half
rollicking melody the pent-up feelings
of people whose banks were suspend
ed, whose laborers were out of work,
who were pinched by hard times, and
to whom the Wings promised 1.-TWO dol
lars day and roast beef" had found
expression, and the song was sung
throughout the country as if by mad
men. 1t has been attributed to John
Greiner, the Ohio politician and editor,
who, in that song-singing campaign,
wrote "The Wagner Boy" and Zip
Coon" but the credit belongs to the
late A. c. Ross, of GAINESVILLE, in the
same state. Mr.. Ross was member Of
a political glee-club and of church
choir. Martins lament Hard
Times" and many other songs had
been made, but none answered the pop
ular demand, when friend suggested
to Ross that the air of "Little Pigs"
would furnish chorus if suitable words
could be written. Mr.. Ross went to
church with his brain through volunta !
and opening hymns, full of the sugges-
ton. He sang gravely and then set
tied himself to his task. BY the time
the minister had reached lastly" Grip
pecanoe and Tyler, too" had been set
dancing to the time of Little Pigs u
One line, and that an important one in
the refrain, baffled him. On Saturday
night he was obliged to tell the clul
that he had a song-all but one line

and he was, and that epithet had mucl
to do with his using up. MIR. Ros:

siding. Prentiss, of Mississippi; Tall

becoming restless, for still the speakers
did not come. Delavan called for vol
unteer songs, when Ross arose near the
door, and said that if he could reach
the stage he would ave one. 'Pass
him along :" and he was passed along
over the heads of the dense mass until
he stood upon the platform. "Who
are you?" demanded the crowd. "A
Buckeye, from the Buckeye State, " said
Ross. When three cheers for the Buck
eye State had subsidized, Ross requested
the company 70 be quiet until he had
sung three stanzas, and then join in if
they liked. By the time the third chorus
was reached, the whole audience struck
in with indescl liable effect.

door watching the arrivals, many of
whom he knew. He had quite made up
his mind that he would avoid the "gold
embroidery at any price. Fortune
hunting was too contemplate an occupa-
| ton. Just then Lettie and Jennie made
! their appearance.
Philip knew Lady Alcote and shook
hands with her; but she did not yet in
| troduce him to her charges. She mo-
toned to him to walk beside her, while
the party made a solemn circuit of the
room.
Lady Alcote took up her position at
the extreme end, where there was
raised dais and some arm chairs. She
knew what was due to her position, as
well as that of the great heiress who was
with her.
Later on Philip was pleased and sur
priscd to find himself introduced to the
| wcarer of the simple dress. PERHAPS
Lady Alcotc knew OF his distress and be.
grudged him even one dance with the
| heiress. He curled his lips bitterly at
the thought and turned away. He fan
cied that he was beginning already to
feel the social disadvantage of being
poor. SO ready are we all to take to
ourselves fancied sights upon our dig
nifty.
He had engaged himself for the next
dance to Lettie, and meanwhile busted
himself with looking on. His state Of
mind was moody and disconnected.

Thus poor JEANNE Carson was denied

Lettie danced we'll and knew also how
to talk to her partners; she noticed that
JEANNE was not so well provided for as

quence took the opportunity afforded by

to Philip Twyford.

not trace, yet following quickly the
smoke and the roar, the ball was seen
skimming along the surface of the
water, directly toward us, sinking at
times on either side or in front of our

Now while on deck we had our first
view of China, which was far more

Female Education-The Demand oil
the Age.

Extracts from paper by DR.. Raymond,
President of yassar College.
When Mrs. Willard, the venerable
pioneer Of improved education for wo.
man, while appealing for aid to the Leg
islature of New York in 1920, urged her
plea on the ground that woman was con-
stitutionally "apt to teach" and might,
with suitable training for herself become
qualified to replace men to some extent
in the system of popular instruction,
there were few to whom her views did
not appear chimerical.
But is it not high time to inquire, now
that, to so great an extent women have
become the instructors of the people,
not merely in primary and grammar
schools, but in academies and seminaries
also-is ii not time to inquire into the
character Of the preliminary training,
the amount and style of the culture
which our female teachers bring to the
work? do not hesitate to avow the
belief that the education of the nation is
to-day emasculate and weak, compared
with what it might easily bo made by
simply raising the qualifications Of it's
female instructors; and this from no
want Of real or native capacity in them,
but solely from their want of opportu
mites for obtaining breadth, fullness,
and thoroughness Of culture.
Teachers Institutes" do next to moth
ing to supply this lack. Norma
schools cannot fully remedy the evil
unless YOU expand your Normal schools
into colleges. Nothing will reach il
but adding to the valuable agencies al
ready at work for the training of teach
ers, the means Of liberal culture for The
highest grade; and by alternating the
character Of the women-instructor,
alone, might raise the standard of the
national Intelligence, hundred pei
cent. in a generation.
Let him that hath ears to hear, heal
the voice of God summoning woman tt
"come up higher" and calling upon u
to prepare steps for her ascent. AnC
, here there would seem abundant cause.
for dependency.
Every thing is to be done, and no en-
appears to feel fully the Importance o.
doing it. But there is no room for de
spondency in the work OF God. If thi
is not His work, let it come to nonght
If it be, He will provide and have Hi
instruments ready as fast as He needs tt
use them.
The college that processes to do th,
work Of college for women, whether
separately or in connection with thu
other sex, stands engaged to establief
and maintain. first, course of truly
liberal education, and second, a plaT
adapted to the circumstances and pecu
liar needs of women; and it should BE-
held by public sentiment to both part
of the obligation. This will be found tt
involve the necessity of chairs of in
struction not called for in the ordinary
colleges for men only, together with {
peculiar personal, social and domestic
regimen, adapted to the care and com
fort of young women away from theil
parents home. And this brings us t
the one universal desideratum for at
tanning any earthly good-money-en
dorments special endowments for thu
LIBERAL education Of women.

ing the same may assess. and in no case
