Supports for HOnSe Plants

When we grow fuchsias, or other tall
slender plants, says the american Ao-i-
c~uAturist, some support becomes neces-
sary, we are using as supports to al
plants OF a slender spreading growth,
small iron rods with holes punched
through them. Through these Eoles we
pass wires, which reach out on all sides.
and furnish support to all branches that
need 1t, without being conspicuous in
the least. When painted, they will
hardly be noticed. The branches seem
to support themselves. OF course. a
small rod of iron thrust into the ground
as ore would a stick, will not remain
firm very long. To prevent, this, we in
structed the blacksmith to weld two
other pieces Of iron of the same size to
the bottom Of the rod. then to spread
each prong thus formed out at right
angles to the rod; then to bend the
prongs down again at right angles This
gives a very strong support TO The rod,
when the three proDgs are inserted in the
soil of the pot. They. brace against each
other, and the pot will tip over before
the rod will. If vines are to be crown
on a %trellis, the latter may be fastened
to such a rod by strings, or wires wound
about the bar, and through holes. as
may he necessary. The cost of such
supports is trifling compared with that
OF t~rellises sold at seed stores and nipple
ment houses. They may be constructed
IN various designs, According to individ-
0al taste, and are preferable in many
respects to the former.

Light on OleOmargarine.

Light is breaking on the oleomargarine
question in Washington. The Senate CON-
mittee on agriculture on Tuesday gave
hearing to two distinguished scientists
who were ready TO stake their professional
regulations on the statement that oleo-
margarine was pure and wholesome pro-
duct. Professor Morton, president of the
Stevens Institute of Technology, declared
that if the fats from which the ole0marga-
rine oil was produced were tainted in the
slightest degree the oil would become ex-
ceedingly offensive to the smell and taste,
and when made into oleomargarine would
be unstable. The same condition would
arise if carelessness or wilful neglect oc-
CURED in the manufacture. The use of
unwholesome materials would of necessity
make the product offensive, and this would
be the best safeguard against danger
from the consumption of this article of
food.
Professor Chandler, of Columbia college.
who is also president of the New York
board of health, regarded the oleomarga-
rine discovery as one of the greatest of the
SVheuAy' AAO cohu ito WAS
necessarily more cleanly than butter
making, and that it was pure and whole
some, and contained all the components of
butter in the same proportion as in dairy
butter, except that the proportion of flavor
ing matter was less.
These are weighty opinions and are cal
culated to attract public attention to the
iniquity of the measure now before Con-
gress to crush out the oleomargarine in
dustry. But high and above all these is
the constitutional objection to the bill.
Congress has no right to tax oleomargar
inc, when sold as such; and when it does
SO, it discriminates against this industry
to favor the dairy interest. No govern
ment where justice prevails should permit
this form of oppression.

taking anxious soundiugs of what is known
to undergraduate bards rs the sea of life, and
seeking some halcyon haven where they NAV
find the luNuries of civilization. Is there not
room for some OF these young fellows among

ture? The statistics compiled by some
of the "class secretaries +" show posi-
tive genius in the compilers. Every
thing of coutemporaneous human in-
terest in the habits and pecuiarties
of their esteemed classmates Is set dowtf
for the study of the socioogis'. There are

can't, of smokers and chewers, of the lazy

thoughtless may ieer at such statistics, but
the collection of them shows that the collec-
tor has the main gift of an official statistician,
the piling up of all sorts OF uucunsidered
trities. These gifts ought not be be hidden.
There must toe place at Washington for
these promising statiSticians.

Gotham are really as much stirred up over
these toys as their papers represent, may
be doubted. 1t is the business of the met

every day if it can, and very small pegs
are needed for the purpose. There is AN
English boat to arrive soon, brought by a
royal tar, named Hem, which has lust
been beaten at home in all her races. and
comes over here to challenge the best of
our boats. Her inglorious career at home
would seem to be a damper upon the
chance to raise any great interest in her
contest with our boats, but as the
