On reaching Green Square the enthu-
siastic Democrats dismounted and gath
cred around the speakers stand, which
was tastefully festooned with flags upon
which were large engravings of Cleveland
and Thurman, and upon the corner posts
of the platform were large photographs
of Capt. Francis p. Fleming. The four
lovely bandana arrayed young ladies
were escorted to seats Of honor on the
platform and added grace and beauty to
the occasion. The dwellings all around
the square were decorated with bunting

The devotion of the American gi-l

this many a ye.r, but the habit of
gum-chewing has remained until the

small quantities at the druggists or

to issue orders for special gumboards

of the ocean there are many and varied

ter and variety of the deposits. and in
the animals and plants which inhabit
the various parts of the region.
The deposits are in most respects
similar to those which make MP very

ton of the dry land. In the abysmal
area there IS uniform set of condi-
tons. the temperature being near the
freezing point. with an annual range not
exceeding Z : Fahrenheit, and there
being no sunlight or plant life. There
is a great abundance of animal life; but
the forms from various parts of the
area are very similar, and unlike those
of shallower waters; and the deposits,
which accumulate slowly, are unlike
any of the sedimentary deposits of the
dry land From DIR. Murray investi-
cations it also appears that if the dry
land Of the globe were reduced to the
sea level by beng removed to and

ocean then its extent would be about
S0,000,000 square miles, and the rest
Of the surface of the earth would be
covered by an ocean extending to 49,

the whole of the solid land be reduced

by an ocean with a uniform depth Of

QUEER FINANCIERING.
Millions of Dollars Missing from I'll
United States Treasury.

Millions of Dollars Missing from the
United States Treasury.
When the Republicans went out of
power in Washington the Democratic
journals and politicians all over the
country raised a great shout of Count
the money" They pretended to be-
licye that millions would be found
missing from the Treasury. The
money was counted. and every cent
was found in the Treasury. But if the
money should be counted now, after
only three years of Democratic Admin
istration, the money would not be
found in the Treasury. Millions would
be found missing from the Treasury.
1t is not in the Treasury. Where is ii?
According to Congressman Weaver,
Grccnbacker and Democrat, of Iowa,
the Administration. frightened by the
piling mp of the surplus idle and out
of the channels of business, undertook
to put the idle money into circu-
lation by making certain favored
banks free present of its use, and so
has loaned out to these favored banks,
without interest, and nobody knows
on what security. millions on mill
hons of the peoples money. And
now if the Government should sud-
dcEly want this money, and call it
in, the result would probably be a ter
lille financial panic and crash. The
favored banks to whom the use of this
money has been given, Mr.. Weaver
saws, have been used to boom the price
of United States bonds so that if the
Government now wants TO pay off the
bonds, it will have to pay twenty-five
per cent premium TO these same
banks. in whose power the Admins
tration has placed the Government.

to any banks. it ought to divide equally
with all. If it is going To let the banks
have the use Of the peoples money, il
ought to let every body have the same
chance on the same terms, The peO-
pie are being taxed one hundred mill
ion year simply to give certain
favored banks the use without interest
of the money thus wrought from the
taxpayers. Now, there are accusa-
tons made by Democrat and Green
hacker against the Democratic Admin
istration. No Democratic Congress-
man dared to dispute the facts. What
do the people think of them?-Lan-

SETTING CUTTINGS.
They Should Have a Mellow Soil and
Considerable Care.

They Should Have a Mellow Soil and
Considerable Care.
Cuttings may be safely set any time
in May. Cuttings that have been
stored in sand over winter should not
be disturbed until time to set. Before
setting they should be freshly cut
that is, the ends taken of that were
cut in autumn. which are sure to be a
little shriveled and dry. thus closing
the pores and delaying the start. The
ends should be given a bevel cut that
more surface may be exposed to the
soil, and that the cutting may be more
readily pushed down into its place.
One mistake in setting cuttings is
that of leaving too many buds above
the ground. The root of the cutting
must necessarily be very limited. in
deed. The first tiny rootlets that are
thrown out can hardly furnish food
for an opening bud or two above. Yet
we often see cuttings from one TO two
feet in length. containing dozen buds
that are trying TO start on the meager
support from below. The small
amount of nutriment that is sent up is
spread over too much surface. and the
consequence is that the sapless pores
shrivel up, and the cutting fails to
grow. The whole strength of the root
should be concentrated upon one or tive
buds. Two buds above the ground
are enough.
Cuttings should have good mellow
soil Many seem TO have the idea that
cutting may be pushed down mos
anywhere and will grow. The little
roots need the very best of soil. so that
they may get hold at once. Cutting:
should be pushed down to depth o.
FIVE or six inches. so they may not suf-
fer from lack of moisture in case of {
dry time.
Many family who do not feel able
to buy plants of nursery stock may
get a little good fruit about them by
getting of their more fortunate neigh
bors. We NAV well take example o.
our thrifty German neighbors in thi;
respect. They lose no time in start.
ing a fruit garden. Starting as they
do. with but little capital above theil
willing hands and provident inclina-
tons. they soon gather about them the
rural comforts of their older-estab.
lished neighbors. They invest but lit
tie money, gathering few roots here
and a few cuttings there, carefully
tending the whole until supply OF
wholesome fruit is obtained Western
