"Haye You Made Your Gardenl''

We have an old farmer friend
who asks us every spring, "Have
you made your garden?" He gets
through sowing his oats, and then,
before corn planting, he makes
the garden" Truth to tell, he has
usually a good farmers garden,
containing peas, beans, sweet corn,
lettuce, radish, cabbage. caulifow-
er, cueumbers, summer and winter
squash, and onions from sets or
potato onions. He has mo luck
raising onions from "black seed. -
and no wonder. Our peas and
onions are well up and ready to
hoe before he commences to think
about making the garden. The
fact is, and it is very important
one, the right time to make your
garden in the autumn. Our best
farmers are doing more and more
blowing for spring crops in the
fall; he should do the same thing
in the garden. Make your garden
now, and SOW the seeds in the
spring. We do not think it neees-
sary to go into details. We want
simply to remind our readers that
the garden will look better and be
better if it is plowed or spaded
now, and all weeds and rubbish
burned or removed, and the land
got ready for sowing at the earli
est proper time. OF course, ma
nure should be applied and plow-
ed III at this time, leaving the
ground rough and exposed to the
action of freezing and thawing in
the winter. In the spring cross
blowing or narrowing will bring it
into condition to receive the seeds
or plants.-Americdm Agricliltur-

Simple Rules for Spelling.

To spell correctly is a fine art.
Bad spelling is a fault too com
mon among educated people. 1t
is also common fault among
business men. The following sam
pie rules well, if observed, correct
the bad spelling of words i'll ordi-
nary use.
Words ending in e drop that let
ter before the termination able, us
III move, movable; unless ending
in ce or ge, when 1t is retained, as
is change, ehangeable, etc.
Words of ono syllable ending in
eonsonant, with IA single vowel
before it, double that consonant III
its derivatives; as ship, shipping,
etc. But if ending in a consonant
with a double vowel before it, they
do not double the consonant i'll
derivaties; as troop, trooper, etc.
Words of more than one sylla-
bic ending in eonsonant, preced-
ed by a single vowel, accented on
the last syllable, double that con-
sonant in derivatives; as commit,
committed; but except ehagrin,
ehagrined.
All words of one syllable end
ing in |, with a single vowel be-
fore it, have double Il at its close;
as mill, sell.

japanese Wheat" > Farmers,
Look Out!

A variety of wheat, claiming to
be Japanese" has been advertis-
ed in the Far West as being very
early and enormously productive.
Mr.. @. W. Derry, Of Lake Co.,
Colorado, before investing in this
wheat, took the precaution to
ascertain its reputation at home in
Japan. Accordingly he sent
samples and inquiries to our Minis
ter to Japan. Minister Hubbard
referred the matter to Edwin Dun,
Esq, long connected with the
Agricultural Department of the
Empire, who writes: 81 do not
recognize the cereal. The wheat
of Japan has nothing to recon-
mend it; it does not mature early
nor is it productive. 1t is far in
ferior to any of the better varieties
OF American wheat, and grown as
it is, in the semi-tropical and moist
climate of Japan, would hardly
mature at all in the dry and ele-
waited region of Colorado" The
inference is, if the Japanese
wheat is really from Japan, our
Western farmers have no use for
it; If, as is more probable. some one
has undertaken swindle, hoping
to sell SEINE common wheat under
a false name, at a high price, his
trick is already exposed. Our
farmers want neither true Japan
csc wheat nor wheat falsely so
called.

A Neglected Crop.

It would be better for us if we
considered the manure made on
the farm as crop; and it IL
strange that we do not do SO, for
it is a product of the farm and has
a money value as much as corn or
hay or cotton. When we once
consider manure as a crop, we will
take just rs much pride in max
ing a big crop of manure as of
corn; and we will no more allow
part of the manure crop to go to
waste, than we would part of the
wheat or hay crop. Generally but
little can be charged against the
production of the manure crop;
all the cost is often the expense of
harvesting gathering and stor-
ing), this crop. On the most fer
tile farms this crop is worth to the
farmer several times the cost of
harvesting it. And it is the great
est wonder of our farming that we
do not start out IN the fall with a
determination to make a better
manure crop than our neighbor, as
we start out in the spring with
determination to make a better
oat, potato or tobacco crop. The
clearly man will harvest large
manure crop, because he will gath
er up all refuse and put it in the
compost heap. He will have
clean stables, clean barns, clean
yards "a clean farm; and cleanli-
ness is the preserve of health.
Thus we see that while the wheat
or potato crop supplies strength
and energy, the manure crop,
closely gathered and we'll kept
prevents the agents of disease
from stealing away that strength.
Pride in the manure crop goeth
before wealth and health.

Effective novelties that become popular
abroad are sooner or later reproduced here.
A notable example just now attracting the
attention of the trade, and made In faithful
copy Of the Paris samples by New York
firm, Is the "Oudja," an amulet of Egyptian
origin dating back to the time of the Pharaols.
This unique charm, which was described
some months ago in the Circular, is enjoying
an extraordinary patronage in both London
and Paris. The secret of its success lies,
perhaps, in the old superstition that It is an
emblem OF good luck. The name "oudja"
signifies health and happiness, and, according
to the legend handed down with II, every
one who wears II will DO attended with pros.
psrity. The oudjas made In Paris are copies
of old Egyptian amulets In the Louvre and
been told, the Oudjas produced here are
copies Of those made in Paris. Examples
seen at the manufacturers are effective
little ornaments, measuring about three
fourths OF an inch In length, half an inch in
width, and thick enough to admit of dscora-
tion on both sides. These oudjas represent
the eye OF lIorus, or rising sun, from which
tears drop, in a gold framework OF Egyptian
design. These Oudjas may be worn by
either sex on the watch chain, or by ladies
on their bracelets. A retail dealer up town,
who was interviewed as to the probable sue
cess ofthe oudja in this country, expressed
the opinion that we'll made aud effectively
finished, these charms ara unique and
taking little ornament that ought to have a
big run. An imported oudja seen contained
an almond shaped eye enameled in colors
true to nature, the tear drops being simulated
with small diamonds. Already there up
pears disposition to employ the oudja as a
parting gift, a sort OF bon royage, a graceful
way, in fact, of saying, Goodbye, and good
| luck attend youn

On the 2Gth of January, 1914, an obscure
country actor, named Edmund Kean, who
had been engaged in sheer desperation, a
very model of a strolling player, shabby, al
most shoeless, whom the mediocrities treated
al rehearsal with unconcealed contempt, ap-
peared at Drury Lane as Shylock to an in.
different and half-flled house but when
the curtain fell upon the fourth act it was
upon such burst of wild enthusiasm as had
not been heard since the night Sddons
played Isabella for the first time before a
London audience. The next day all London
was ringing with the fame of the new actor.
Richard was his next impersonation. "Just
returned from seeing Kean in Richard"
wrote Byron in his diary. "By Jove, he is
soul (! Life, nature, truth, without exag
geration or diminution.'' Coleridge said II
was reading Shakespeare by flashes of light
ming. The receipts rose from e10O to e6OC
nightly. After his third appearance Whit
bread raised his salary from es to ego. One
week the committee presented him with
el00, the next $500, while splendid pres
ents flowed in upon him from all sides;
society fawned upon him, fattered him,
courted him. During six years he sustained
the fortunes of Drury Lane upon his own
shoulders; rivals rose up, fine actors, but all
paled before the splendor of his overwhelm-

Mr.. Francis III. Underwood, of Boston,
now consul at Glasgow, has been to London
and writes his impressions OF "Fausp to the
Boston Gas,nc:
The play of Faust" as represented by
Irving's company at the Lyceum Theatre,
London, though following Goethe's mystical
drama with some fidelity, leaves an impress
sion entirely different. Faust is Goethe's
hero, while in the Lyoeum play Mephi.
stopheles is something more than the hero
the omnipotent mover OF every spring OF &C.
ton. Goethe's Faust is man OF original
i'd as and of strong personality; and after
his reiuvenescence he is VIGOROUSLY conf
dent and aspiring. Goethe's Mephistopheles
does not presume 10 do more than offer his cum
ming temptations. That subordinate posi-
ton apparently would not suit Mr.. Irving,
and accordingly, in the play. the subtle
fend becomes the God Of every occasion, while
all the human beings are his pawns and
playthings. II gives one moral and physi-
cal shudder to see all wills suddued, all
feelings trodden down. all plans frustrated,
all human power helpless, before the grim
and remorseless power of the drama.
That the play loses ty the subordinate
| place given TO Faust there can be no
doubt and this impression is deepened by
the fact that the actor who has what should
be the leading role has not the physical ad-
vantages, nor, apparently, the Intellectual
qualities which should give some splendor to
his pitiful career as the seducer ofinnocence.
He seemed to me 10 be fair copy Of mild.
hammered divinity student. whose virginia.
bosom was heaving for the first time with a
chaste and timid love. Such a man, one
feels, would not and could not have been
pushed by passion TO the ruin Of Margaret or
to the Staying Of Valentine. The intensity
of feeling, the commanding intelligence, and
the headlOng assurance of triumph were all
wanting.
cannot speak learnedly of the mounting
OF the play, and will not venture to use the
technical terms. can only hint at the
general impression, and mention one or two
striking features. The scenes, as mere
pictures, were superb. The streets were
real streets, with ideas of solidity and per
spective. The transformations were miracu
lous, dazzling You without anording the
slightest clue to the means by which they
were effected. The minor personages and
the common people seemed to belong to the
place and the time. 1t was Nuremberg in
the Middle Ages that we saw-architectTe,
dress, and customs in harmony. And
never saw the manners OF crowd so repre-
sented. Every one walked, or ran, or loi.
tered, or looked, or talked in entire uncon
c1rn OF the audience. 1t was revelation to
me, accustomed only to the stiff professions
and painfully conscious ways of stage super
J numeraries at home. These living, moving
, crowds OF people we're not supernumeraries
; at all. They belonged there, real part o
) the forces of the drama.

War Pictures.
National 1'ribune.l


Gen. w. T. Clark, formerly chief of Gen.
McPherson's staff and Adjutant General of
the Army of the Tennessee, has connected
himself with an enterprise conducted by Mat
Morgan, the noted artist, which has for an
object the painting of number of large aud
fnely-executed pictures of battles in the war
of the rebellion. So far fifteen are under way
and will be completed in September. These
are exact represent atoms of the battles of
Belmont, Donelson, Shiloh, Corintb, the
siege and surrender Of Vicksburg, Gettys-
burg, Chickamauga, Mission Ridge, Atlanta,
Spottsylvania, 1.-THE Wilderness" and APP
pomattox. The paintings will be exhibited
in every city of the United States, with &C
companying historic lectures Of explanation.
The actual fields of battle, with ali the tacti-
cal and strategic situations, are faithfully
portrayed from the official reports and eye
witnesses of each engagement. Their size
will be about 35x50, so that they will be SUBJ
stantially the same as the great cycloramas
of Gettysburg, Shiloh, Manassas, etc., now
attracting so much attention in various cities,
but will be of higher character as works of
art.
Gen. Clark makes this request OF those
who participated in the battles mentioned ::
II is important In this enterprise, in order
to give the representations of character of
personal interest to our surviving comrades,
and those who fondly cherish the memories
of fallen heroes, that there should be as
many as possible of the faces and forms of
the gallant soldiers engaged in the several
conflicts who can BIZ readily recognized. Ac-
cordingly, the artist has made this feature
in all these scenes, and l have the honor
now to request all my old comrades to send
to me, at Mat Morgan's Art Rooms, Cincin-
natl, Ohio, their photograph, stating the
regiment to which they belonged or the
position in which they served in any of
the battles herein mentioned, that their por-
traits may appear in the painting.
A photograph taken at date OF enlistment
or appointment or resignation or discharge,
would be preferred, because We want you
to look as You did in the days that tried
mems souls. The photograph will be re-
turned as soon as transferred to HE canvas.
The pictures are especially designed TO in.
terest veterans and all members of the Grand
Army of the Republic.

Costly Entertaining.

Secretary Whitney and his wife have
carried of the social honors of the season, al
though the stories of the money spent by
him have been extravagantly absurd. One
of the gems of the early part of the season
was the one saying that Col. Oliver Payne
had given his sister, Mrs. Whitney, q check
for 100000, with the idea that the money
was to be expended solely for the purpose Of
social enjoyment; of course there was never
word of truth in that. and was naturally
invented by some man who had no money.
II takes real poor man TO conceive these
stories of dazzling generosity. Mr.. Whitney
has entertained very literally. He has
spent more money than any Cabinet officer
of modern times, but those who are good
judges say that $4,000 will meet the ex-
penses OF his social season. As Senator
George III. Pendleton used to expend $75, 900
year upon mere living aud entertaining,
there has been some precedent here for the
Whitney liberality.
