LONDON, May l1th.-The trial Of Cum
ningham and Burton, for alleged compile
ity in dynamite outrages at Westminster
Hall and the Tower of London, were begun

summoned, from which to secure a jury for
the trial. The defense are allowed thirty
five challenges, but only fifteen men were

10 prove Cunningham guilty of causing the
explosion al the Tower, and also to have

Procure from the butcher q good fat
sirloin steak with the tenderioin ut.
tached; cut an inch thick.
Cut out the tenderloin, trim off the
extra fat, split into four parts, so YOU
will have four steaks one-fourth of an
inch thick.
Take . sheet of foolscap paper, spread
out to full size on q smooth surface;
with sweet butter give the paper q thin
coat all over the exposed side Of the
paper.
Salt and pepper the steak to taste, not
too much; lay your steak on one side of
the paper, turn the other half over the
steak; then, beginning at the corner Of
the fold in the paper, crimp from each
corner until you reach the center;
fasten with pins, so that the paper will
not lose its folds, and you have your
steak in a tight paper bag.
Have light broiliug fire; place your
steak as above prepared on q gridiron:
hold over the fire, retaining hold of the
handle, and watch carefully that the
paper does not burn.
The steak will cook thoroughly in
four or five minutes. Serve ON a hot
dish, garnished with sliced lemons.
Cooked in this way the meat retains all
Its luiciness and is free from all taints OF
smoke or FIRE, and will be accepted by
the most delicate stomach and retained.

Care q Newly Set Tree.

While it Is very important thas emily
really good trees should be selected to
transplant, and equally important to set
them in the best manner, it is even
more important that the best of care
should be given the trees after being
set, not only until it shows that it is
alive, but during the entire season it
should be carefully looked after; in fact,
as rule, tAee is not fully established
until the third year, therefore should
not be neglected until it has been trans
planted several years.
Soon after tree is set it should be
literally mulched with partially decayed
leaves, covering the ground little be-
yond where the roots extend. To keep
the leaves from blowing away they
should be covered with stones, sticks OF
wood or short pieces of boards. Never
heap mp any material about the trunk
of tree except fresh earth. The mulch
should be spread evenly ON the ground,
and care should be taken not to let il
dry through during drouth, but il
should be watered as often as it shows
any indication of being dry. In very
dry time not only should the mulching
around favorite tree be kept wet, but
the ground few feet beyond should be
watered. On cultivated land the mulch
ing may be omitted, if the land be light
and loose on the surface. 1t is impor-
tant to keep the whole land moist if the
best results are expected. because il
only small space where the roots OF
the tree are to be watered, the water is
veryrapidly absorbed by the surrounding
dry soil, and thus prevent vigorous
growth, if it does not dry the tree up
entirely before the owner is aware of it.
Having properly cared for the roots
OF the newly set tree, the top should be
with long trunk before coming to the
branches. The practice of cutting of
all of the lateral branches is SO universal
that almost every tree that is set has
nothing to protect it from the direct
rays of the sun for the first four to six
feet, unless artificial protection be re-
sorted to, which always should be to ali
trees that have had the lateral branches
removed. This protection may be very
simple; single thickness of coarse mat.
ting tied around the tree is sufficient, OF
even limb of cedar tree set in the
ground on the south side of the tree, OF
a board set up SO as to shade the trunk
of the tree during the hottest part OF
the day, will do much to keep the trunk
from seing scorehed by the sun. Man,
trees are lost during hot weather foi
the want of some protection for the
trunk. This is wrong, because the ex-
Pense is so slight every one who sets {
tree can find the time or means to do it.

Improved Methods on the Farm.

There are very few farms in this
country, East or West, that, have ever
been made to produce over fifty per
cent. OF their capacity, and very few
farmers capable of making even ont
hundred acres do more than this. A
vast majority of those who own more
would be benefited by selling the sur.
plus aud using the proceeds as q capital
to improve the remaining acres, and by
purchasing better stock.
The little Island of JERSEY IL said tc
maintain one animal to every two acres
on the island, including roads, fences
and the ground occupied by buildings.
Their farms average about ten acres.
In very few instances in this country
one animal has been supported to each
improved acre. This proves what is
possible under the best management.
The best talent, the intensest study, the
most knowledge and the best business
methods should be, and will be, devoted
to agriculture for years TO come. The
professions are overstocked. Doctors
are without patients and lawyers with
out clients, as most of them ought to be:
but good lands are cheap and plenty.
Intelligent laborers ON the farms are
scarce and better paid than any other
class. Farming has been accepted rs a
last resort tor those unable to live BY
their wits, or good enough for such as
were considered incapable of or in
different to thorough culture. The
mentally-active boy has taken a medi-
cal course or law course of lectures
after completing his education" at the
academy or college. These avenues are
now full to repletion; they are in great
need of thorough drainage. Now that
farmers begin to see that they need more
culture, more knowledge and business
methods to attain any standing in their
own business, and to fill creditably such
public stations as their numbers and
their occupations entitle them, let them
win back their sons from the shop and
office to their farms, where all their
intelligence can be more profitably
employed. Let them send their sons to
the agricultural college instead of the
medical school; let them attend course
OF lectures on botany and chemistry
instead of law, and they may possibly
do something to make farming more
attractive as well az profitable, and take
and hold that station in life to which the
poets fancy has assigned them

Hon. B. F. Jonas.

The many friends of Senator B. F.
Jonas will be gratifed to know that
his name is prominently mentioned
for q position in President Cleve-
lands Cabinet. It would be no more
than fitting recognition of his long
and faithful service to his party and
the country. Senator Jonas is fitted
in many ways to make an administra-
ton of fuch an important Office most
acceptable to the people. Trained
to exact business methods, and
thoroughly educated in all matters
pertaining to the management of at
fairs of State, he would begin his
official work as though he had been
engaged in it for a lengthy period
This perfect acquaintance comes from
a1egislative career which has been
singularly strong, bold and self-re-
RANT. Intelligent, industrious, just,
liberal, always at his post and an ar
dent advocate, he has long been one
Of the trusted leaders of his party,
and one of the most influential and
reliable men in the United States
Senate.
The same zeal which has dis
tinguished him in official position
heretofore, and the same intelligence
and integrity, would be carried with
him into a Cabinet position. He
would make it's administration a
model in everything which went to
sum up craftsmanship, accurate adj
nninistrative ability and honest and
conscientious work.
Furthermore, Senator Jonas has
Been lifelong Democrat, fighting
the battles of his party at all times
and under oil circumstances with
eonsumate skill and unwearied deyo-
ton. Indeed, there is not q more
deserving man in every way in Loui-
siana.

say this is spurious goodness
which is good for the sake of re-

The following, from an exchange,
is eminently correct: '.No person
works harder and more zealously for
the public welfare of his own town
than does the local editor, and there
is no person in a town but what is
benefited in more or less degree by
a paper being published there. And
the better support an editor receives
the better the paper he is able to is
sue, consequently every citizen should
take it upon himself to see that he
does all in his power to give his local
paper the support it deserves.

The River and Harb0r Bill.

The House of Representatives at
Washington has already spent con-
siderable time in the consideration of
the River and Harbor appropriation
bill. The measure has come to be
regarded by many as great steal.
Under its provisions many of the
members are accustomed to getting
whatever sum they can for some local
job, or pet measure, and the aggre-
gate of these appropriations cause a
heavy and in some cases needless
draft ON the treasury.
1t is popular for newspapers to
denounce the River and Harbor bill
as a useless and dangerous measure.
OF late it has become the target of
newspaper wits in every direction
While it is certainly made the cloak
for many a robbery aud covers an
infinite variety of jobs, it is never
theless just as necessary measure
as any of the other regular appropri-
ton bills. There are water ways, the
repair and Improvement of which are
just as important as the maintenance
of any of the departments.
But Congress should exercise great
care and discretion in appropriatiug
funds for rivers and harbors. The
universal condemnation of the bill is
not because no good is accomplished
under it's provisions, but for the rea-
son that with the good comes an
enormous amount of evil. Congress
should make such provision as will
meet the necessary Or desirable OBJ
jects of the bill, and exclude those
provisions which afford opportunities
for public plumber.

THE LOST GARDEN

:
Thsrs was fair green garden siopins

And the earliest tints of the dawn came CROP

Gov. Horatio Seymour considers
President-elect Cleveland a big,
brainy man, conservative in his opin-
ions and likely to be found equal to
any emergency He thinks that if
care and discretion be exercised in
the important point of selecting his
Cabinet, his administration will not
only be a successful but a brilliant
one. Gov. Seymour, however, fears
that too much viii be expected Of the
President at the outset of his official
term, and some disappointment may
be expressed from the impossibility
of making radical changes immediate
ly. It viii take time to assimilate
the entire executive force of the
country to the views and designs of
the new regime. This, however, will
be facilitated by the result of the in
designations which must be made into
che doings Of the Republican officials
who have held power SO long.
