Seeding q New Lawn.

In seeding down a new lawn,
the great point is to make the land
rich and mellow. Work it with
the plow, harrow, roller and steel
rake, until it is is fine as a garden
If you are anxious to get the
ground covered as soon as possible,
sow the usual lawn grass mixtures.
and bushel per acre of millet Oh
Hungarian grass. In a week OF
ten days the millet will completely
co yer the ground and smother al
the weeds. When the millet plants
are two or three inches high, run
the lawn mower over it, and repeat
the cutting once a week. The
grass and white clover will get wei
rooted before winter. You have
quite respectable looking lawn
from the start, and next winter the
millet will be killed. But if you try
the plan, do not forget to use the
lawn mower early ienough. A few
days delay and it will be too late
The millet will get the start of you
and kill every spear of grass. But
you will commence early enough

you will get nice lawn quicker in
his way, than in any other L have

Many people seem to forget that

strength, until, good or bad, it be

at a man of business-prompt, re-
liable, conscientious, yet clear
headed and energetic. When do
you suppose he developed all those
admirable qualitiesp When he was
boy. Let US see how a boy OF
ten years gets up in the morning,
works, plays, studies, and we will
tell you what kind of man he will
make. The boy who is too late at
breakfast or late at school stands q
poor chance to be a prompt man.
The boy who neglects mis- duties, be

The Strongest Drink.

WateE is the strongest drink. 1t
drives mills; it is the drink of lions
and horses, and Samson never drank
anything else. Let young men be
teetotlers if only tor economy's
sake. The. Beer money will soon
buy house. If what goes into the
mash tub went into the kneading-
trough families would be better fed
and better taught. If what is spent
in waste were only saved against a
rainy day work houses would never
be built. The man who spends his
money with the publican and thinks
the landlords bow and "HoW do We
do, my good fellow?" means true
respect, is a simpleton. We do not
light fires for the behring's comfort,
but to roast him. Men do not keep
pot-houses for laborer's good; if
they do, they certainly miss their
aim. Why then should people
drink "for the good of the house"
If l spend my money for the good
of any house, let it be my own and
not the landlords. 1t is a bad well
into which you must put water; the
beer house is bad friend, because
it takes your all and leaves you
nothing but headaches.
He who calls those his friends
who let him sit and drink by the
hour together is ignorant-very ig-
norant. Why, red lions and tigers
and eagles and vultures are all
creatures Of prey and why do so
many put themselves within the
power of their jaws and talonsP
Such as drink and live riotously
and wonder why their faces are SO
blochey and their pockets so bare
would leave off wondering if they
had two grains of wisdom. They
might as well ask an elm tree for
pears as look to loose habits for
health and wealth. Those who go
to the public house for happiness
climb the tree to find fish.-Spur-

The Indian Question.

A tall and COMMUNICATING
Indian from the Canada side, hav-
iugRa big back load of door-mats
on his his back, was tramping up
Randolph street yesterday when a
man in a saloon beckoned him in.
The red mans face lighted up with
'ten-cents- apiece smile of satisfac-
ton as he walked in. There were
three men present, and they seemed
to be in a hilarious state.
"See here, cid coPper-face," said
one, as he shut and locked the
door, Pm down on Injuns, first,
last and all the time. They shot
an uncle of mine, and I've sworn re-
venge. Maybe you are ready to
take the all-fledest licking you
ever gotr'
"Hu~ replied the Indian, as he
looked from one to the other.
"Aad the Internal varmints
scalped and roasted my grand
motherw put in the second white
mon. 81 didn't care about the
old lady, but its the principle of the
thing look at. I've got to have

"Hup' said the Indian as he
seemed TO catch on.
"And l." put in the third man,
cam down on Injuns in a general
way. After these other two fellows
have got through with you 1 pro-
pese to walk on the mangled re
mains. Let the performance now
begin"
1t began. People who looked in
at the windows could see nothing
People who got a look through the
open door saw hats, doormats
sawdust and chairs lowering in the
air, but not for long. In about
three minutes the red man stalked
orth, somewhat fustered and lit
tie bit wayworn, but he had not
ost drop of blood nor a single
/ ioor-mat.
Inside the saloon all was peace
nj and serene. The man whose
lncle was shot was lying under 6
table; the one whose grandmother
vas burned seemed trying awful
hard to remember how the affair be
gan, and the one who went in or
general principles was looking out

full stories are commencing to float
around about the lemon cure, and
it bids fair to become very popular.
A physician who is a member OF
and has many patients in the New
York Athletic Club, informed the
News reporter that he had been
giving concentrated lemon in ma
laria cases for nearly a year and
now scarcely even uses quinine.
The new remedy does all the work
of quinine without effecting the
nerves or the head as quinine GER
tainly does.

If anything in this world is true
and well attested, the Gospel of
Christ is, If anything is worthy of
our implicit confidence, our supreme
love, our entire confidence, our su-
preme love, our entire conservation,
it is the Son of God, who lived on
the earth, died on the cross, rose In
triumph from the grave, and as
ceuded to eternal glory. The
truths are calculated and substan-
tiated by all the light and evidence
which two worlds, earth and heav-
en- can afford. Proof cannot be
more complete than that of the
truth of the Gospel of Christ. If
there is anything which we need to
comfort, to help, to strengthen US
in life, and to give US sure hope
of eternal glory: it is Christ as our
Savior and Redeemer. If he is
ours, we are rich indeed. If we
have not chosen him, and made him
ours,s then we are poor and our
prospect is dark. Let US remem-
Der that Christ will be ours if we
believe in him. And it is our duty
to believe in him now. The guilt
of unbelief is ours, and ours alone.

In Franco some wears AGO a com

In France some years ago a con-
veyance of land required twelve
adult witnesses, who were accom-
panied by twelve little boys; and
wher the price of the land was paid
and its surrender took place the
ears of the boys were pulled and
they were severely beaten, so that
the pain thus inflicted should leave
an impression upon their memory.
and If required afterward, they
might bear witness to the sale.
Later, when a criminal was being
executed, parents whipped their
children, so that they might take
warning by the example and keep
in the path of virtue.

Grapes as Medicine.

Some of the affections which the
grape may be used for as q repara
tive medicinal agent of great value
are those arising from troubles in
the digestive functions, diseases OF
the liver and spleen, suppression OF
the hemorrhoidal discharge, men
strual arrangement, catarrh Of the
air passage and the state of general
exhaustion that keeps up all troub-
les OF the respiratory apparatus.
Doctors also say that over worked
persons may derive from the vege-
table milk of the luscious but inof-
fensive grape a rational means to
re-establish the physiological con-
ditions of clear thoughts.and correct
expressions.

When we enter the solid domain
of learning we grow particular as
to titles. The man who wishes to
stand well with his associates new
er uses prefix or an affix which
does not rightly belong to him.
Ignorant pretenders alone make
free use Of titles. Prize fighters,
athletic trainers and medical
quacks are in the habit of strutting
before the public as full-blown pro,
fessors. Our newspaper offices are
crowded with men who have taken
their degrees, and yet when they
write of p retender they do not
roughly cut the from his name.
They spell out Professor with as
much care as if the individual were
a member of the faculty of dis
tinguished university. This is an
insult to learning. Quacks and
charlatans should appear in their
true colors In the public prints

Extension OF the Pennsylvania
Railroad Dining Car service.

The dining cars Of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Compapy's through trains have proven
such popular and convenient feature OF
travel on that line that the company has
decided to further extend the service. No
innovation in the older methods of rail-
road travel has contributed more to en-
hance the comfort of the traveller than the
dining car. 1t is the connecting link be-
tween the parlor and the sleeper, which
perfects the system by providing for the
comfort Of the inner man.
The cars are constructed with view to
their use as dining cars only. Ample room
is devoted to the kitchen, which is equipped
with all the appliances known to modern
cookery. The cooks are experienced and
trained for this particular service. The
dining saloon is the body Of the car. 1t is q
bright and cheerful apartment, furnished
with all the requisites OF high class restau-
rant. The stock of provisions carried en-
brace not only all the substantial as we'll as
the delicacies In season, but a complete and
carefully-chosen selection OF wines and
liquors. The daily moi,u Is but an enumera-
tion of all these good things, which,
served In admirable taste and neat
The prices arc exceedingly liberal when
compared with similar service in regular
restaurants, as 1t is no easy matter to find
restaurant where so complete meal can
be secured for dollar. The making OF
money is not an element Of the enterprise,
but the system was instituted and is main.
tained as an accommodation to the patrons
of the road. In these busy days the saving
Of time is great consideration, and the
man who eats while he travels not only
saves time, but is relieved OF the necessity
Of dispatching a hasty meal before de-
parture or going hungry to his destination.
Commencing on Tuesday next, a dining
car to run to Philadelphia will be attached
TO the Chicago Express leaving New York
at 600 p. m. for Philadelphia and the
West. And commencing on Wednesday, a
similar car will be attached to the Wash
ipgton Limited Express at Wilmington to
be run to New York. These cars are the
exact counterpart of those used on the
New York and Chicago Limited, and are
the finest examples Of their class in the
world. Under this arrangement busi-
ness men may. spend the entire
day in New York, and leaving at 500
in the evening, enjoy an excellent dinner In
transit Travellers leaving Washington at
9.40 a. m. and Baltimore 1850 for New
York, may also dine en- route, and arrive
in New York In that pleasant state Of con-
tentment which is the natural result Of q
| good dinner.
The company only yields to the popular
demand in the extension of its service, and
