Wichita Eagle: "How are your hogs?''
said one farmer to another ut the post
Office yesterday. swell, I had somesick
and took them away from the water
and mud and since then they are all
right. Some say that hog is all right,
rolling in water and mud, but it is mis-
take. Now there Is Howard, who has
his hogs on the creek and about twenty
have died" Eyes" said another, who
came up and joined in the conversation,
"hogs must be kept away from the
creeks" "All the hogs along the Cow
skin are sick, said another. "Martison's
took it first and several died and from
his it has spread Ill along the creek. !"
every man has his own cure for hogs"
said another. "Now, I took calomel and
mixed il in . mash of chop stuff and gave
it to the sick hogs and they were al
right next day. some little pigs that had
turned up their toesan were apparently
dead, were restored by my con pour
ing . solution of calomel down their
threats. Some times feed them blue
stone" Gentlemen" sid another, "that

era right bad he Il never any good after"

Speak Reyerently.

When Prince Bismarck, the great
German statesman, was lad, his father
once overheard him speaking of the
emperor as g Fritz" He reproved
him for the familiarity, and added:
" Learn to speak reverently of his maj
esty, and you will grow accustomed to
think of him with veneration." The
words made deep impression on the
boy which was never effaced. Even in
his old age he lowers his voice and as
sumes respectful tone whenever he
speaks of his sovereign. If message
is brought to him from the palace,
either verbal or written, he always
stands to receive it. What lesson is
the custom of this great statesman to
boys who speak so lightly, if not pro-
fanely, the name of the King of kings!
The fault is not confined to them. The
growing irreverence of the age is very
marked. The words of God are banded
about in the daily prints as lightly as if
they were the words of the court Jester.
Some fine-spun piece of political sar-
casm, parodying some scene in Scrip
ture, is often found in a morning paper,
and is laughed over by thousands. The
travesty will ever after be associated
with the sacred words, especially in the
minds of the young. a full-page pic
ture in our best illustrated newspaper
one morning represented st. Peter as
seated in great armchair before the
gate of heaven, with keys hanging by
his side, busily reading the daily paper,
and deciding not to admit certain par
ties. 1t was only one of many similar
pictures. 1t is not enough that Chris
tian parents should seek to hide their
smiles over such caricatures, or should
mildly deprecate the irreverence. They
should set their faces like flint against
them. Such a course would be felt, as
in the case of Prince Bismarck. 1t is
very easy to lower our standard of rev.
erence for anything. We have only to
speak of it habitually in a light way.
There is nothing like it TO take the life
out of the most precious texts of Scrip
lure. We may repent of such sin with
bitter weeping, but those words can
never be to us again what they were
before. We may have cut down bridge
we shall some day yainly long to cross.
A gentleman of keen wit used often to
point his remarks with some apt quota
ton from the Bible. A friend who
greatly admired him was present in his
last hours, and asked, with deep SYM
pathy, what was the future outlook.
Very gloomy, indeed was his re-
Spouse. Surprised and deeply panied,
he FASTENED to quote some precious
promises suited to the solemn hour.
" l have spoiled them all for myself"
was his answer. "There is not one
but is associated with some jest" His
light went out in darkness, though his
name was on the church roll. What
lesson is here for all who are willing to
be taught by it! Lay it to heart.-Ihe

about half an inch or more of the out
side of the ball. if the roots are much
matted, they may be cut away on the
outside with sharp knife; then, placing
some soil in the bottom of the pot, put
the plant in it, and then fill in the soil
between the ball and the pot, ramming
it down moderately with blunt stick,
making sure that no vacancies are left.
The surface of the ball should be a little
below the level of the top of the pot.
Always be careful to leave sufficient
room at the surface for watering, but
never bury the neck or collar of the
plant in the soil; to do so is very inju-
rious to many plants, especially azaleas,
camellias, oranges, lemons and other
hard-wooded plants. After reporting
your plants place them in shady place,
where they will not be exposed to high,
drying winds; and water them from a
watering-pot with fine rose, but do
not give too much at once. Only give
enough to settle the soil; if you give
too much, it makes the soil puddle
and makes it hard when it dries out
somewhat

Washing Flannels.

An English journal gives the follow
ing practical hints on this subject
"Take as much good washing soap as
seems requisite; pare it up fine, pour
over some boiling water, and let it stand
till the soap is quite dissolved, stirring
it occasionally. If left to stand for
some hours, it will be found to be a
thick jelly. Add to this sufficient warm
water to wash the flannels in one by
one. Knead them about well. but do
not rub any soap on the flannels, and
do not rinse them in plain water, but
have ready another lather, warm and
well blued, in which rinse out the fan
nels. Do not wiring them at all tightly.
A wringing-machine does them much
more effectually than the hand. The
freer from water you can get them, the
softer they will be. Hang them out, if
fine, Immediately; if not, dry them in
front of the fire. If left to stand wet,
the flannels invariably shrink. The
great mistake in washing hannels is,
first, washing them in too hot water
they should never be put into water
hotter than you can comfortably bear
your hand in; second, rinsing them in
cold water instead of a good warm
lather; and, third, letting them lie in
the tub instead of at once hanging them
to dry. Many persons object to fan
nels being ironed. For my own part, l
always run a cool iron over all shirts,
petticoats, etc., with gathers or plaits
in, but not others. Those that are to
be iroued fold up for an hour or two
when slightly damp. The remainder l
shake out several times when drying,
which makes them softer, and takes
out any creases. / never use either
soda or any kind of dry soap in wash
ing blankets or flannels, as it has a
tendency to discolor them; but / use
more than twice as much blue as |
should do in washing linen or calico,
though great care must be taken to mix
the blue well in the lather, or it will be
streaky. Colored iannels should al
ways be washed last, and be rinsed in a
plain warm lather without blue. On
Friday we washed fourteen blankets
with the use of a machine, following
the directions given above, and they
are beautifully soft and white, not hav.
ing shrunk at all. l may add that blan.
kets should be taken down when hall
dry, well shaken, and then hung up til
quite dry"

How to Pot Plants.

The first consideration in potting
plants is to have the soil in suitable
condition, neither too wet nor too dry
Just in friable condition. If too wet,
it will bake hard together, and prevent
the roots of the plant penetrating it
readily: if very dry, the ball will not be
of the proper firmness throughout, and
some difficulty will be found in getting
the water for the first two or three water
ings to 60 through it. The pot should
be perfectly clean, inside and out, and
if it has been used before it should be
well washed and dried before using it
again. In shifting a plant from
smaller into a larger pot, take the neck
of the plant between the fore and mid
die fingers of the left hand, placing the
bottom of the pot in the right hand,
turn it upside down, and give the rim
of the pot two or three raps on the edge
of table or your potting bench; this
will loosen the ball, and you can then
readily lift the pot from it. As a gen
eral rule, in shifting a plant from
smaller to larger pot, select pot in
which the pot you are shifting from can
stand readily. Rooted cuttings should
at first have two or three-inch pot +,
and be shifted from these as the pots
become full of roots. Potters generally
advance the sizes of their pots by an
inch; thus there are two, three, four,
five, six, seven and eight-inch pots !;
above the last size they advance by
two inches, the measurements being
the internal diameter of the rim. For
ordinary room plants an eight-inch pot
is as large as can be conveniently man
aged. When geraniums, fuchsias and
similar plants outgrOw an eight-inch pot,
they should be taken out of il and have
the roots and tops pruned back, and
again potted in the same sized pot. 1t
used to be the custom to place an oyster
shell or potsherd over the hole in the
bottom of the pot, in the idea that it
prevented the drainage from being
stopped up. 1t is now discarded by the
best cultivators, as it really produces
the difficulty it was intended to obvi-
ate by largely reducing the size of the
hole. If the hole gets stopped up it
can readily be cleaned out with a knife
or sharp stick. When potting cut
ting, put little soil in the bottom of
the pot, then take the plant in your left
hand, and, letting the roots hang loosely
in the pot and keeping the neck of the
plant in the center, with your right
hand or a small trowel fill the soil into
the pot, bump the pot down on the table
or bench few times to settle the earth
evenly, and then firmly press it down
with the thumbs, not filing the pot full
but leaving a sufficient space at the top
for watering If the plant to be repotted
is an established one, take it out of the
pot in the way already directed, and
put it into one size larger. With the
fingers or blunt-pointed stick remove

OSCAR MEYER ATTEMPTS SUICIDE.
Expecting to Die the Murderer of Krause
COnfesses his Crime.

About 10 o'clock on Thursday night,
when Deputy Sheriff Chase went into the
Jail at st. Adams to lock the prisoners in
their cells for the night, Oscar Meyer,
with pale face and siclily look, staggered
up to him and, taking him by the hand,
babe him goodbye. On being asked what
he meant, he replied 'YOu won't see
me in the morning" 1t was afterwards
learned from Meyer that he had taken
some 63 morphine pills, of one-eighth of II
grain EACH and in his anxiety to make the
job complete he had scraped the mer-
curry and tin from the back of
a small looking glass in the jail and
taken Il quantity of unguentum that had
been put there to kill lice He took
enough to kill Il dozen men, and that was
all that saved him. The Messenger states
that he had saved what morphine pills
had been given him at Windsor and
what few had been given him at st. AL
bans, with view to making sure thing
of it when the right time came.
Meyer himself expected to die, and he
confessed before DR. Fassctt and the dep
uty to shooting Krause. He said that he
killed krause, but they did not get it just
right in court he didn't kill him for his
money; he and krause quarrelled while
coming across the ice, and krause knock
ed him down; when he got up, krause
came for him again with a knife, he said,
and if they would look at the arm of the
coat they would find cut where the knife
went in; he also showed the deputy a
scar on his arm, which he said was made
by krause's knife. He said he then got mad
and shot krause, cut hole in the ice, and
put the body into the water. He said that
Il long time ago he had been badly hurt on
the head and was liable to get very eXcit-
ed sometimes and not know what he was
doing-as in the case of his quarrel with
krause. Meyer was taken TO Windsor
Friday forenoon. He objected strongly
and declared that he would put himself
under car wheel before he got there. His
sentence will not be pronounced until the
Supreme Court meets and acts on his sen
tenCe,
