FARM GARDEN
A Wlnter HnnrIne nnskot.

Morning glories are used with striking
effect to make winter hanging baskets.
They will bloom plentifully in any sitting
room in a south or east window. They
must be protected from freezing in the cold
nights This can be done by having solid
board shutters to put upon the window, out
side or inside. If the weather is very cold,
blankets or wooden cloths must be hung
around the basket in addition. It is best to
sprout the seeds separate in a shallow box
in a sunny kitchen window. After that
transplant them into the basket.
The new fashioned morning glories are
much handsomer and more varied than tho
old ones. Several kinds planted together
will make a bit Of beauty that the home Of a
queen could not exceed. 1t will make q
howell look like a fairy palace. Here is one
point we mu, It never lose sight of: 1t is our
duty to crowd as much beauty as possible
into this life. Make the world prettier for
your being in it. Wherever you can add a
bit of brightness do it. Then you will be
remembered like q sunbeam alter you are
dead.
That woman, or man either, who is not
touched by the soft beaut7 Of flowers is a
grumpy old SLOUGH, who is not pleasant to
live with.

b1 WILL hhAh'
1 am thinking of a house
Where there lives a tiny mouse
Little spirte-
That is buster at play
And at mischief all the day
Than at night.
Now, you who pretend to know
That this really can't be So
Though it might
Should see its funny capers
Nesting in piles OF papers
With delight;
Gnawing corners off my books,
And, concealed in little hooks,
Out of sight
Printing toothmarks, four so cute,
In a peach or other fruit
1t can bite.
Can't we catch it, No, indeed,
For it runs with such a speed
In its flight,
That when we try its capture
The act but causes rapture
In the mite.
What can we do, now truly,
With a mouse so unruly,
Yet so bright
For you've suspected, maybe,
That the mischief is my baby
And you're right

TIE question here raised cannot be
secretly triel in executive session.
There must be an open hearing. A
secret hearing would satisfy nobody
1t would expose the President to mis-
representation and calumny, and it
would mike the reports which might
leak out from the secret session un.
trustworthy, because unauthenticated.
The Republicans, on the strength of
such letters as these to day published,
accuse the President Of having violated
his public and solemn promises, and
of doing injustice to blameless citi-
zens. These are grave charges, and
they must make them good in open
session before the people, and not be-
hind closed doors. They must give
the President opportunity to justify
himself as publicly as they have
accused HMM. Y. Herald.

Here is a scene which will be appreciated
by all our boys and girls who live in the

But it took longer than he thought. While
he was studying it out, the slow, stupid
molasses came out Of the barrel in O chunk.
1t runs Sow, but it is very thick when it
does come The pitcher IL filed, and the
sticky stuff is running in sluggish, heavy
puddles upon the cellar floor. Still Johnny
reads on. By and by his mother will wonder
what can keep Johnny SO long. She win
need the syrup for her cookies, and will
come down the stair to look after him her.

the floor, and Johnny's nose buried in the
Boys AMI Girls department. Then there
will be a time. She won't dare to scold him
so very hard though, 1 think, for once
mamma did the very thing that Johnny is
doing. She set the fluid running, and
thought she would just step upstairs and put
her bread in th9 oven. When she came
down into the cellar again it was to GEL the
milk and cream for dinner. The milk rams
were floating in a SWEET, sticky liver.

TI-MN
VALENTINE BANNER.

There is an old story that about this time
Of year-on this day, in fact-the birds
choose their mates for the coming year. On
this day, as far back as $500 years ago, the
names of young women were put into a box
from which they were drawn, haphazard, by
young men.
Valentines day is a very pleasant time to
remember ones best friends in some graceful
way. Little girls can make pretty things of
ribbon and cardboard AMI embroidery.
Both boys and girls who know how to draw
and paint have an advantage over others.
They can paint pretty cards, or flower and
vine borders around a photograph, and send
them as remembranceS. A motto or some
stanzls of poetry written in a neal hand
upon the card will complete the appropriate
remembrance.
Don't send comic valentines, so called.
They are hideous, and very vulgar. They
are, besides, a stab in the dark, when they
mean anything, that no brave girl or boy
will YER give. Never do things to another
that you would not like to have done to
yourself. Just remember that right through
life.
Valentines that you make yourself, if you
have taste and ingenuity, will be more
highly priced than merely bought ones. At
the same time, if you cannot make them,
there are very pretty cards for sale. Send a
nice valentine to your dear mamma Your
papa will appreciate one, too, better than
you think for. 1t is a good way 10 put val
entines for your family under their plates at
breakfast. 1t will be a pleasant surprise for
them. In some cases the father and mother
send each other q valentine every year, aud
keep the practice up as long as they live.
For twenty years this fashion has been kept
in some families, not only between the father
and mother, at first, but later among the
brothers and sisters, too. They are very
good friends in those families, 1t is Il pretty

A Disastrous Flood Imminent in the
Upper Mississippi.

Upper Mississippi.
ALTON, ILL, Feb. ia disastrous
flood is imminent along the Mississippi
unless the weather turns colder and
locks up the OVERLOOKING streams now
pouring their torrents into the Mlssis-
sippi. This river is now almost at
flood height, but it is still frozen solid,
with the ice gorged in many places
clear to the bottom. There is probably,
at present, as much water in the river
between here and St. Louis, as was
evtr before known. The Missouri and
many smaller streams empting into it,
were reported breaking up yesterday,
and the same report comes from the
northern part Of this State. In respect
to streams tributary to the Mississippi
and Illinois, unless these northern
floods are checked by cold weather un-
til the present high water in the Mis-
sissippi runs out, a great food seems
inevitable. All depends upon the
weather in northern Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri for the next week. The river
rose nine inches last night, and is still
coming up.
