push the Bennington battle monument to
the height of $50 feet the coming year. A
large force of men are at work this winter
in sheds near the base of the monument
cutting stone ready for the resumption of
work on the structure in the spring. 1t is
proposed to have ready by that time suf-
ticient stone to build 115 feet of the mon
ument. The citizens of bennington as
well as the members of the monument as
sociation are greatly pleased with the way
in which the work is being pushed.

SWEET POTATOES.
How to Plant and Cultivate the Tender
Young Sprouts.

How to Plant and Cultivate the Tender
Young Sprouts.
The sweet potato can not be planted
out before what may be called good
corn weather, and as this will not occur
before June. the middle of April is time
enough to start the bed. Eighteen
inches of manure, or just enough to
give gentle bottom heat, is sufficient,
the sun under the glass doing most OF
the work. After the bed is made and
heat started it is ready to plant. Lay
over the manure six inches of sandy
soil; if all sand, just as we'll OF better.
Halve the potatoes lengthwise and lay
fiat on the sand-thcy may nearly cover
the ground. Sprinkle over the top
just enough sand to barely cover the
potatoes. After the young sprouts
have started their roots into this sand
and the tops are about six inches high,
they are slipped off, and each shoot IL
u plant and ready for the ground.
Only light, 'friable soil will grow
them profitably. This is thrown up
by the plow into ridges four feet apart.
The plants are dibbled out on these
ridges one foot apart-the cut worm
often destroys quantities of the sets,
and must be watched for, destroyed
when found, and other sets put out
where needed. At least q couple Of
crops Of sprouts can be taken from one
set of tubers, and any time In June
will do to plant them, SO there is na
danger OF not having plenty OF plants.
1t takes from 5000 10 10, 600 sets pen
acre. Stable manure IL the best. So

knowledge It Imparts.
Thanks to several courageous men
and skillful women, Industrial educa-
tion is here to stay. 1t has its place,
well taken and strongly maintained in
the kindergarten, primary, grammar,
high and special technical schools.
Hereafter no child will go out into life
from any well-regulated city or large
town without knowing some new
things, the delay in teaching which
makes the schools of yesterday look
strange Industrial art is certainly
to be permanency. Little children
will hereafter know form and color as
no grade of public school ever taught
them in olden times, and they will
know how to criticize, measure, esti-
mate, describe and draw them. Of this
there can be no question. Sewing,
and all that is indispensable in the
needle-work accomplishment of every
woman, will be taught the girls as
thoroughly as numbers and language.
Of this there can be no doubt. There
is every philosophical and practical
reason for the former, as there is every
sensible reason for the latter. 1t now
looks rs though the girls would be
taught the science and art of cooking,
and the boys the art of handling tools
in woodwork. Both of these, how
ever, are thus far experimental, so far
as the public schools below the high
school grades are concerned. We
frankly confess that we very greatly
hope the experiment will be so univer.

Cleansing Ladies' Hair.

We object to the use of carbonate OF
potash by hairdrcssers for cleansing
the hair Of their customers. The
cleansing action of this powerfully
alkaline substance is very effective, but
it is prejudicial to the hair at the same
time. A teaspoonful of pulverized
borax in a cup of boiling water. or
cleansing the hair with the yelk of a
fresh egg, and following this with u
warm solution of borax or salt and
water, especially sea-water, Is much
preferable. and has thu effect of cleans
ing and softening the skin of the scalp.
Eastern ladies, remarkable for beauty
of their hair, adopt the latter mode Of
cleaning it.-Herald of Health.

The Daily Life of the Inmates Regulated

The windows and doors of the Arabian
houses stand open all the year round,
and are only closed during the rainy
season. Life in the palace of the Sui
tan of Zanzibar was regulated by the
hours of prayer. which take place five
times a day; including ablution and
changing of dress. they occnpy three
hours. Persons of rank are reused be-
tween four and half-past five o'clock a.
m. for the first prayer, but the majority
sleep until eight. The women of the
harem are gently reused by a slave, who
begins to kneed them all over to quicken
the flow of the blood. In the meantime
the bath has been filled with fresh
spring water, and the garments, on
which jasmine and orange blossoms
have been strewn the night before, are
fumigated with amber and musk before
they are put on. An hour is expended
on the toilet. and then every one has to
wish the father of the house good morn.
ing before sitting down to breakfast.
After that the men get ready for the
audience chamber, and the women 60 to
the windows to watch for stealthy
glance of some passing noble until the
old slaves who guard them call them
away.
At one o'clock the hour for second
prayer is announced, and then the
lithc-limbed daughters of the harem
are glad to take an hours nap ON the
soft woven mats with sacred notices
plated in them. or to gossip over their
sherbet and cakes.
At four o'clock comes the fourth
PRAYER, when all the ladies dress in
their most elaborate afternoon cos
TUNES, and another call is made ON the
father of the house to wish him good
afternoon. Then the numerous family,
servants and all. sit down for their
evening meal and converse, accom-
panied by an enormous barrel organ.
The fifth and last prayer comes at 7:SO.
though it may be put off till bedtime by
those who are busy.
Ten o'clock is the usual hour for re-

their female slaves, whose duty it is to

The young man fell dead
A friend had pointed revolver at him.
"He didn't know it was loaded!"
We often hear it stated that a man is not
responsible for what he does hot know.
The law presupposcs knowledge and there
fore convicts the man who excuses crime
by ignorance!
"If had only known" has often been an
unfortunate mans apology for some evil
unknowingly wrought, but in matter of
general interest--as for instance that
laudanum is poison, that naphtha is
deadly explosive, that blood heavily charged
with winters accumulations of the waste
of the system it is ones duty to know the
fact and the consequences thereof. Our
good old grandmothers knew for instance,
that the opening of spring was the most
perilous period of the year.

Because then the blood stream is sluggish
and chilled by the cold weather, and if not
thinned o good deal and made to flow quick
