Farmers can not expect to raise
choice vegetables without labor now,
but the garden plat really pays better
than field crops for the time and labor
given it. Weed seeds are terminating
rapidly, and most garden soils are well
filled with them. The hoe and the rake
must be piled constantly or weeds will
get the best of the struggle. Throwing
the earth up around most growing veg
etables is better than level culture

The Canada thistle and no other
infiiction of the farm was ever got rid
of by act of Assembly; but there is a
plain, common-sense method by which
the thistle is headed of. and that is by
frequent cultivation of the soil. and
there is mo better crop for this than
that of corn. and assisting this by res
olutely digging it out with the fork as
fast as it makes its appearance above
ground By digging out with the fork
it can be taken out entirely, leaving no
pieces behind; but if the spade is used
and the plant is cut each piece will
sprout again. 1t viii not be likely to
disappear at the first attempt, but by
replanting the land with corn and con-
tinuing to fight the pest with fork as
before it will eventually be headed off.

Yesterday noon there were about
twenty people in line at the general de-

woman undertook to crowd into a place

"Why-aha-if your husband won't
support you, nor my wife support me,

Nationality in Railway Service.

The business at an English railway
station is done in the same style as in
an old mercantile house, where, instead
of special directions having to be given
all the time, it is understood by every
one that he knows what his duties are
and how he is expected to perform
them. The case is different in Ger
many, where the railway system was
transplanted already made, and it was
necessary to create a personal service,
and where the contguration of the
boundaries had its influence, not only
on the laying out of the lines. but also
on the whole system of administration.
1t would not have been possible to Sc
cure certainty in the management if
there had not been at hand a host of
officers trained under military disci-
pline, who, unqualified to act freely,
knew we'll how to obey. An English
engineer has described as the basis ofthe
German service intelligent command and
strict obedience. English management
expects its subordinates to be intelligent
enough to do the right thing without a
order. elf we should charac-
terize intelligent self-reliance' rs the
genius of the English system, organ
lied instruction of the French, and
'skillful daring Of the American, that
of the German is unquestionably exact

"reminiscences Of Webster.

Daniel Webster was a great lawyer
may l not say the greatest of American
lawyers-and his profession made him
at times stitie his individual convictions
to please his political followers, as he
would have argued the bad side of a
ca Sc to earn the fee paid by a client. No
timer speech was ever made in favor of
free trade than that made by Mir. Web
ster in 1916 in the House OF Represent
atives, when he was q Representative
from New Hampshire, and in 1920 he
made another speech in Faneuil Hall on
the same side of the question. But in
1924, acting in obedience to the wishes
sof the Boston merchants interested in
cotton mills, who supported him, he
earnestly resisted the Southern attempt
ito repeal the tariff, and thenceforth he
wa a prote ctionist.
I So with the 9TH of March speech. Mr..
Webster had eloquently pleaded for the
freedom of the Greeks. but when the
emancipation of the Africans enslaved
in the Southern States began to loom
up in the political horizon he yielded to
Ithe temptation of the Southern Wings,
who offered him as a''sretainer" prom
Uses that they would give him the -Presi-
,dential nomination. l do not believe
the assertion that he had prepared him
self to speak against the compromise,
as he had been impressedby the horrors
of the civil war which he saw would be
inevitable, although he vas laughed at
by the Free Soil orators and press, and,
as if to completely estrange him from
New England, where public opinion
vas rapidly, though ,imperceptibly,
changing toward emancipation, the
same Free Soil orators and editors
brought personal charges against his in
=tegrity and moralitJ.
The most malignant and spiteful at
tack made upon MIR. Webster was by
Mr.. Charles Allen, then a Representa-
tive in Congress from Worcester. One
evening, at the close of a session, MI.
Allen said plumply that he would not
5intrust Mr.. We with the making of
arrangements to pay the three millions
of Mexican indemnify. lie stated that
it was notorious that when he was
called to take the Office of Secretary of
State he entered into a negotiation by
which S25, 900 was raised for him in
State street, Boston, and $780, 600 in
Wall street, New York. Mr.. Allen
trusted that the Democratic party had
yet honor enough left to inquire into the
matter, and that the Wings, even, would
not palliatc it, if satisfied OF the fact.
MIR. George Ashmun, Representative
from the Springfield district, retorted
that Mr.. Allen had eaten salt with Mr..
Webster. had received benefits from
him, and that he was the only one who
dared thus Indignantly to assail him.
mir. Ashmun alluded to a letter from
Washington, some time previously pub.
tiished in the Atlas, stating that a mein-
Der of the House had facts in his pos
session upon which to found a resolu-
sion charging a high officer with 'cor-
ruption and treason" and he traced a
connection between that letter and Mr..
Aliens insinuations. Mr.. Julian, an
other prominent Free Soiler, seconded
Nx Allen, and tried TO secure an in
