more and sweeter berries are produced
nut they will be smaller. To over
come the last difficulty heavy mulchine
or thorough irrigation must be resorted
to.
All vegetables prefer a light, sandy
loan, and melons, sweet potatoes, and
root crops can be grown on soils that
are extremely sandy; but such crops,
while not partial to an excess of moist
ure, do not thrive in long continued
droughts unless assisted by n light
mulch. A scattering of straw around
the trunks of tomatoes will materially
assist in promoting growth, while the
more cabbage is worked the larger they
grow.
AS the spring begins to open, those
who who are favored with the possess
sion Of a garden will, as usual, endeavor
to get the seeds in the ground as early
as possible, but unless the soil is dry
and warm no advantage will be secured
by haste. The most important matter
Is to spade or pillow the garden as deep
as possible, manure it we'll, and thor
oughly incorporate the manure and soil.
The seed-bed should be very fine and
free of Jumps, Us the seeds of nearly all
vegetables arc small and will not GER
inmate quickly unless well favored with
warmth, moisture, and air. A fee use
OF the rake in the beginning will do
more for a crop of vegetables than
doubl the amount of labor after culti-
vatlon, as the preparation of the soil is
OF more Importance than anything else.
1t is imperative to thoroughly keep
down the grass and weeds, which pro-
cess of cultivation also renders the soil
always loose and fine, thereby securing
and retaining a greater supply of heat
and moisture.

giving a delicate flavor to lamb to be
eaten cold: "Puti in the water in which

Potatoes should ALWAYS be cooked
with their jackets on, says the Caterer.
The skin has been purposely made of a
corky nature to retain the Juices and
valuable principles OF the vegetable,
and should carefully be guarded from
any injury by cutting or scraping, A
chemical analysis shows that the water
used to boil a pound of neeled potatoes
contained ufterwara seventeen grains of
carbonate of potash. This is a foolish
waste, Moreover, baked potatoes are
preferable to boiled ones. A baked 30

Art in New York.

A correspondent Of the Boston Her.
aid, speaking Of the money invested IN
New York in paintings, says that a club
here holds q loan exhibition of ninety
pictures, insured for over $500, 900, in
Gliding an insurance of $3.50, 900 on
thirtv-nine works lent by one person.
Think of the money locked up in the
Stewart, Vanderbilt, Morgan, Spenser,
Belmont, Rockefeller, and Astor gall
leries. The 1907 cost Mr.. Stewart
100000; Vsnderbilt's Meissonier, The
Arrival Mt the Chateau cost him $40
900 III Paris; his best Millet, The Sow
e. cost him Y SO, 900: Mrs. Nor
gan's Evening, by Rousseau, cost her
$4,000, and Mr. Seney paid $4,000
for its companion. Morning on the
River Disc AIr. Seney dropped near
" three-quarters of Il million into the
pockets of dealers and a few artists
IN less than five years. But the
artists got a very small share. Is it
any wonder that New York dealers
grow rich? One of them carries an in
of $500, 900 upon his stock of
paintings, and he says that that doesn't
cover the value. The other day he
showed ne in bis private rooms group
OF pictures whose prices ranged from
10000 to so, 900. My. Cotiler, a con-
nolsseur OF exquisite taste, has that SUI
peru Corot, the 'Orpheus,' still hang
IN his gallery. Some time ago, l
believe, its price was $50 900. He adds
to the price every year, and l
presume now 10000 would not buy it.
SO the money goes for pictures in New
York. Sometimes the city suggests
Rome i'll her days of luxury and deca-
ience. Few people realize the richness
and c%ostliness of New York private col
lections. 1t would be hard for Paris

french paintings which might be made

POLITICAL CRoAK1NG.

As a true Democrat We feel re-
luctaut in finding fault with the
policy Of a Democratic President.
Mr.. Cleveland has been at the head
of public affairs but little more than
two months. In that time he has
made 1643 appointments. On CON-
ing into Office he found that, through
twenty five years of uninterrupted
Republican rule, all departments of
the public business had become
complicated and entangled with
corruption and incompetency on
every hand. He has undertaken
the arduous task Of personally su-
pervising the business of removals
and appointments. His motive is
to put competent men in Office as
we'll as to remove those who are
not worthy. To do this he must
necessarily hasten slowly. To
please all the prominent Democrats
of the country who aspire to advise
or control him in his removals and
appointments to Office, is beyond
the pale of human possibility
Mr.. Cleveland is aware that his
party has just come into power af-
ter twenty years of arduous politi-
cal warfare. He knows, too, that
the party will be held responsible
for all the faults and mismanage-
ment of his administration. He
cannot, therefore, wisely commit
any important pablo trust or func-
ton to the hands of an irresponsi-
BILE Republican.
1t would be impolitic as we'll as
undemocratic to do So. The public
sentiment of his party will prompt
ly condemn him in pursuing a poll
cy that would victimize them. We
of the South, Injured to years of
long suffering, while fighting the

are willing to trust him. We do
MT even ask fair proportion of
the public Offices for Southern men.
But the South, and especially
Louisiana, does expect at Mr..
Cleveland's hands prompt and COM
plete purging of such political cess
pools as the Louisiana Custom
House. This notorious nest of po-
litical bummers, who have been for
twenty years a disgrace to the gov
ernment and a terror to our people
the people who voted for Mr..
Cleveland's elevation-shonld be
snmmarily swept away. The Ion
ger they remain in their stronghold
the more cause will there be for
suspicion against the party loyalty
of the President.
