The Flower Garden.

SOWING FLOWER SEEDS.-A floral cata-
logue says that the general rule for SOW
ing flower seeds. as we'll as any other
seeds. is to SOW them at the proper depth !;
and the depth at which they are sown
should in every instance be governed by
the size of the seed itself. As the sprouts
of small seeds are naturally small, if
sown as deep as large seeds, they will be
either unusually long in starting. or more
likely perish in the ground sprouting,
from want of sufficient strength in the
young sprouts to force a passage through
the soil. Very small seeds, such as
portulacca, campanula, digitalis. etc.,
should be merely sprinkled on the surface
of the ground, after making quite smooth
with the back of spade. and barely COW
cred with finely sifted, light. mellow soil,
and aflerward protected from the scorch
ing sun and heavy rains by cloth. mat,
or some green branches stuck around it.

ioned sweet or Towering pea is excelled
by few flowers in all that makes plant
popular. Fragrant. beautiful. hardy .easi-
ly grown. it should never lose its place in
the farmers garden. In tact. it might,
with great advantage, be substituted for
many of the fancier flowers of fine estates
Almost any culture will suit it, and the
reward for its planting is always sure. If
one has not time to make poles for it. give
it room and let it trail over the ground. In
this manner it will make a tangled mass
OF great beauty. Mixed seeds Of different
colors are preferable.
LUCK WITH PLANTs.-Those who COM
plain of having no ''luck" with house
plants and who look upon some other peo
Pile as having "certain luck" with every
thing they touch. should drop such senti-
mental nonsense. To have thrifty, lux
uriant growth in plants the year through,
is a matter depending wholly upon the
care and judgment. and not on luck at all.

More Beef

There has been q lively movement in
the trade OF beef cattle during the past
week. Many pairs of fine. fat oxen have
been sold from the farms. Many of these
have been taken for the home consumption.
our own trade preferring the meat from
home cattle rather than the Chicago beef.
Cattle that have been grown. fed and fat
tened. and lightly worked at the same
tine, furnish an article Of meat that is
more satisfactory to our consumers than
the beef OF the Western plains. The fat
is better mixed with the lean. and is more
evenly distributed than in steer that has
never been worked. The price at which
they have been selling runs from nine to
nine and a halt cents per pound, dressed
weight, with few premium pairs selling
for ten cents This is higher than the
market has run since the first OF March.
The recent rise of half cent strong was
Just In time to take the oxen after the COM
pletion of the springs work on the farm,
and before turning them to pasture.
This kind of beef-making, from three,
four. and five-year old cattle, grown and
fattened while doing the light work of the
farm. and sold as now just when the beef
is finished off and the farm work is COM
pleted, is eminently profitable for our farm
ers, and there ought to be still more of it
done. Our farms are not stocked up to
their full carrying capacity Besides the
more stock we keep the more grass and
hay we shall grow to keep stock on. This
idea that there is no profit in making beef
on the farms of Maine, is a fallacy. There
are vast quantities of old hay still in the
barns of our farmers. and another good
crop now almost grown. while luxuriant
pasturage covers our hills and rougher
lands. costing almost nothing. All the
good calves and all steers and other young
cattle now in the hands of farmers should
be held. pastured and fed on these pastures
and hay mows, and sold in matured and
higher priced form. More cattle and a
higher prosperity walk hand in hand with
the farmers; and in the increase goodly
share of thriving steers, ultimately to be
turned into beef, should have place.

"In a Hot Box"

WAS ever in an accident" echoed the
brakeman, as he took off his gloves, read
iusted his necktie, and brushed off imagin-
ary dust after putting some coal in the
heater. Never had an accident in my
life. sir, but come mighty close to it sew
eral times. Closest call ever had was
down near Laporte. We stopped to fix up
hot box, and as l knew the limited was
close behind us | skipped back with my
lantern in hurry. Hadn't got more'n ten
or twelve rods when l heard her a-comin'
about mile off, perhaps more. There
was a curve right there. and l couldn't see
her. Hearin' of her made me a bit anx-
ious, and started to run faster-it was a
snowy. blowy night - when L slipped
down. broke my lantern. and the wind
blew it out. Here was fix-me hund-

pected to stop No. 20. and her a-comin'

some pretty quick thinking then. l had
MT time to get back to the train, get
another lantern and get far enough to stop
her. Couldn't strike match in that wind
certain, and for second or two I didn't
know what to do. Then it came to me
like flash, and didn't hustle! Run back
to my train. pulled the rope for our engin-
eer to go ahead yelled with all my might
to the conductor, who was ahead where
the box was, and grabbed the red bulls
eye from the rear platform, climbed up
on the brake and then on to the coach. and
when got there held my bulls eve up
high and waved her across the track. II
was as | thought. l could see twenty's
headlight from up there--would she see
me?. Apparently not. for she came along
like mad as I felt myself going crazy.
But as soon as she struck the tangent OF
the curve the engineer looked nv way,
saw the red light, and put her down hard.
You see if I had staid on the track he
couldn't have seen the light at all; but
even as it was. nothing saved us but the
fact that our train started up in time to get
fairly going before twenty saw nv bulls
eye. Not passenger knew what close
call we'd had. Neither did the superin-
tendent, you bet. Elkhart, Elkeart

wag standing near him, ''where Is

Why Blaine is Strong

Mr.. Blaine's great popular strength
is a mystery to the commonplace.
They say he is a rascal and deluder,
anu oro, os.y o.s-ry .~.-sr - -
like him and follow him. Why it
should be so they cannot tell, but the
fact is beyond dispute.
The people like Blaine, partly, because
he is II hearty, cordial. unaffected,
agreeable man. Nobody can be in his
society for half an hour without being
entertained and impressed. He is
vivid, genial and unaffected. Even
when he is acting he is true to nature,
and carries his auditor along.
AS party man Blaine is just as
wholesouled as hs is la coterie of his
cronics. He is for the regular nomiD-
ations every time, and nobody ever
heard him talk of bolting the ticket
Though he was too shrewd and too
broad TO like Grant, he never opposed
him except when the third-teru con
spiracy came up. and then Blaine lift
ed his big fist and let linn have it be-
tween the eyes; after which the third
term was heard of no longer.
But all this does not suffice to ac-
count for Mr.. Blaine. 1t does not full
ly explain his speed and bottom The
secret is not there. Moreover, while
these things are necessary to his power
among m en-, they do not constitute it.
They are the foundation and the
edifice towers above. The inner soul
of Blaine is his intense Americanism.
He is American through and through,
bone, fiber and finger nails. lie al.
ways flies the American flag and the
American eagle perches on his shoul
der. To the hereditary antagonist
foe, and rival of the United States, tC
England, his flag is never lowered
