To remove glass stopper, attach one
end of q stout cord to something firm,
wind it once around the neck of the
bottle, hold the end firm with one hand,
and with the other hand move the bot

A weak back, with weary achlng

Soiling Corn. Don't forget to plant
a lot of corn to be cut up for soiling the
milk cows, should the pastures fail
through drought. German millet also
is good soiling as it produces heavy
crop of leaves, and it is quite nutritious.
If not needed for soiling, it will make
good feed for next winter.
The Tribune says that mulching is
fully as beneficial for raspberries and
blackberries as for Strawberries, yet few
seem to think so. If the mulching con-
sists of good stable manure the canes
will make an excellent growth, and the
crop of fruit be greatly improved in size
and quality.

Tulips, the most snowy of all the
spring flowers, are now displaying their
gorgeous, many hued chalics in ali the
glory of full bloom. The tulip is an
historical flower and adds this distinc-
tion to lis charm of rich coloring. The
story goes that in 1886 and 1887, an
extraordinary flower mania prevailed
in Holland and men speculated IN tulip
bulbs as they now deal IN stocks. The
desire 10 speculate is of ancient origin,
and the financial world was as excited
at one time, so history tells US, over the
rise and fall in bulbs as 1t now is IN the
advance and decline of railway shares.
1t is little hard to realize that sin
gle tulip bulb could at one time com.
mand the pretty price of $500 and
even more, but the extravaganza is
said to have been carried to such a
height that q financial panic ensued
and the tulip mania was influential in
producing great many maniacs. For
some reason the tulip occupies firm
footing in the affections of the Dutch,
but the old time mania to possess the
finest tulip collection in the world has
never been revived to such degree as
to make men covetous of their neigh
bor's tulip treasures.

The Republican Congressional Com
mittee are in peck of trouble over
the discovery all at once that their
connection with the political machin-
cry of their party is in contarvention
of the Civil Service law, which makes
them amenable to all the pains and
penalties incident to its infractlon.
The eleventh section of the law ex-
press.y hits them, and Senator Hawley
admits that the duties of the commit
tee cannot be performed without the
inevitable following of term in the
penitentiary. To see such men as
Hawley, Sadin, Logan, Frye and Don
Cameron in company with the House
Members of the committee all going to
the penitentiary, would be a sight en-
titled to our commlseratlon,. however
deserving the fellows may be of that
sort of punishment. Seriously, how
ever if the Civil Service law means
anything. 1t means that these men
shall not exercise the functions of DO
litlcal machines and Federal officials
at the same time, and if they do they
ought to be punished the same as any
other maIefactors.

WHAT OF THE DAY.
Query in Connection With the Re-
publican Convention in Chicago.

AS June draws near the interest in
the Republican National Convention
increases, and the almost universal
query is, "Who is going to be nomi-
mated at Chicago?" A few weeks will
tell, but meantime all who can ge,
away are going, the remarkably low
rate made over its entire system by
the B & O. meeting with great favor
and a general desire to profit by it. To
know as to details, when tickets go on
sale and how long to be good for the
return trip, and such like information,
is naturally much sought after, and
here it is:-Round tlip tickets at one
half the regular fare, or one fare for
the round trip, will 60 on sale at all
stations on the Baltimore and OHIO
main line, divisions and branches, on
Thursday, May 26th, and will be sold
thence any day up to aud including
Monday, June I'd. The Convention
meets June Sd. For the return trip
the tickets will be good at any time,
on or after June Sd, until Friday,
June 18th, or the week following con-
vention week.
This is a most liberal limit upon the
tickets, and one which, cannot but
again prove to all interested, that the
B. & o. is always to be counted upon
for meeting the requirements of every
occasion. Not only in rates has the
solid old Company come to the front
with unexampled vim and vigor, but
in everything which can add to COM
fort and convenience of those attend.
ing the convention.
With its enormous facilities in the
way of equipment, almost no end of
cars and trains can be provided, and
when it comes to motive power, the
fast runners are right at home on one
of the finest track systems out Of
doors.
The B. & 0. depot in Chicago is so
exceedingly handy to the convention
building-practically next door-that
no road in the city can equal it in
point of accessibility, Another great
advantage lies in the fact that the B
& 0. has its own depot used exclusively
for own trains. When the time for de-
parture comes after the convention pro.
ceedings is at an end, there is inevita-
bly, rush to the depots. In such
depots where there are various roads,
one can readily imagine the confusion
which must exist and the consequent
risk of getting upon wrong trains.
Nothing of this kind can occur at the
B. 4 0. depot, where the platforms
are spacious and where there is no
crowding and jamming to get through
narrow gates and being showed back
with the discourging announcement
that it is "not your train" The agents
of the B. & O. everywhere will glad
ly furnish any and all information as
regards trains, time of departure and
the like, and room for all, with every
attention and courtesy may be de-
pended upon.

A story of tishy nature comes from
Oregon. 1t is about n man and dog.
There is nothing remarkable about the
man except his powers of narration,
but the dog possesses varied accom-
plishments. Among other things he
dives into the river and catches large
salmon in his mouth. Recently he was
by the side of his master, who was fish
ing. through hole in the ice, when he
discovered choice salmon, and dived
down after it. The current carried
him beyond the hole and under the ice,
but he swan fifty feet until he came to
another hole, whence he scrambled out
with the fish in his mouth.

Congressional Committee.

1T is hard to conjecture just how
much Mr.. Arthur will make out of his
business mans game that the office
holders in New York are just now play
ing, but it shows pretty plainly that
the Presidents chances have become SO
very desperate that he has been COM
PEELED to resort to desperate means to
raise what little boom he has got. But
it is neither a shrewd, sagacious or
prudent device to have such names as
John Jacob Astor and Horace B. Claflin
to lead in any political movement, for
they at once put the rank and file upon
their suspicious. Mr.. Arthur's admin
istration has been purely negative
one, and it is appropriately endorsed
by these negative men, for nobody
knows how Mr.. Astor votes, or how
MIR. Clafiin votes, if they vote at all.
MIR. Arthur has done no harm, simply
because there was no harm to be done.
The machine would have run as well il
Mr.. Arthur had been in Kamschatka.
The politicians in the 'grand old party''
have all along credited Arthur with
lAarmonizing the differences that for
three years have kept their leadears in
hot water all over the country. The
recent action of the local conventions
for choosing delegates to their Chicago
funeral hardly looks that way, and Mr..
Arthur's appointments have calculated
to keep up the estrangement between
the two or three wings in which the
party is divided.

Mr.. Charles Barrett, of Ashburnham,
Mass, is 96 years old. In 1846, when
he was 5s years old, he was insured for
$1,000 in one of the best known life in
surance companies. The policy was
payable at death only, but within few
days Mr.. Barrett has received check
from the company for the full amount
of the policy together with the dividend
for the current year. In transmitting
the check the president of the company
writes that Mr.. Barrett is the only

lived the mortality table, and that
