Making a Hot-Bed.

Correspondence Toledo Blade.
In the first place select southern
posture, high and dry as possible so that no top
water can run through the bed after it is made.
Make as long as you like-say six feet long,
three feet wide, two feet high on the south side,
three feet high On the back part Set posts at
each corner, front ones two feet, back ones
three feet Board up the sides and then the
ends. Let the top of ends slope down to the
lower side. This gives it the slant to the south.
(Be careful to make it mouse and rat proof as
near as you CAM Next put on the stove wash
boiler of water to heat boiling hot Have
good full load of fresh e5able manure fbe sure
and have it fresh, as it is often not warm enough
otherwise) and fill up the hotbed until about
eight inches from the top Then take hoe and
pound it down firm. and then more manure if it
inches from the top Have your hot water
ready. Pour on the manure now. Cover
up the manure with four inches of rich
dirt, composed of part sand and rotten wood
dirt. Have this even depth; put it down firm.
Have two and one-fourth yards of unbleached
quilting. muslin is thick enough Tack it to the
north edge; then have light piece of smooth
board, six feet long, one inch thick and two
inches wide Tack the other edge to this, bring
the canvas down over the hot bed smooth.
leave the ends free. Take common paint
brush, proceed as if painting. Have one quart
of boiled linseed oil; go over the canvas with the
oil once, and keep 1T drawn down over the hot
bed over night. Next day roll back the canvas

low-growlng plant you may wish, being careful
not to SOW the seed too thick; three inches apart
for the rows, and the plants will come up in

WASHINGTON, March 20.--A misapprehension
appears to exist IN regard to the Office of chief
appointment clerk of tie Treasury Department
The present incumbent Of the Office, Mir. Trevltt,
rendered his resignation, about two weeks ago,
and it was accepted by Treasurer Manning, to
take effect April /, and Trevitt was granted
leave. of absence till that date. Meantime,
Eugene Higgins, of Baltimore, was given posi-
ton on the fraud roll" of the special
agents division, and assigned to duty
rs acting chief appointment clerk. and was prom
isci the Office as soon as Trevitt's resignation
shall have taken effect. Al question has arisen
(which may prevent Higgins receiving the appoint
1nent to the Office for which he has been selected
If Higgins is permanently appointed, without ex-
animation, to the Office for which he has been Sc
lected, it is claimed it will be in
violation of the .civilservice laws,
but yet in perfect accord with the rules
as published by the Civilservice Commission. 1t
II understood the matter has been brought to
the attention of President Cleveland, and that
he expressed himself SO DESTROYS of carrying out,
to the letter the civii-service act, without re-
gard to special rules. If this is done, Treyitts
place as chief Of the appointment division cannot
be filled by arbitrary appointment.

Who Was the Statesman?

New York Graphic
The ability to locate persons whom one has
casually seen and to recall names and faces is a
valuable accomplishment for any one, but espe-
cialiy SO for politicians Many schemes have
been tried for developing such power, and vari-
Gus odd devices have been resorted to for the as
sistance of undiscplned memory. Among the ar
tiicial aids thus employed few certainly can have
been more complete than the system made use
of by prominent Indiana politician in the early
days of Hoosierdom. This gentleman was ac-
customed to keep sort Of record, in which he
entered all sorts of items regarding more or less
important constituents with whom he was
but slightly acquainted. This record
was carefully indexed, and always kept
at hand. So when the Office bow impaired the
information that John Smith, of Coon Creek
township, desired an audience, the statesman
would excuse himself for a few minutes and dill
gently search the record to find out who on earth
this particular John Smith might be. Having read
the notes their last conversation, the great
would welcome his constituent with all magma
Bile cordiality, and then call up the incidents of
their former meeting. s"The last time saw you
your daughter had the measles; did she get
through them all right And Johnny had
broken arm; L suppose that's well and strong
again" And SO ON. And of course the constit-
uent would go away prodigiously impressed with
the affabihty and the mental powers of his en-
tertainer.
