C. Cogel came to Morris recently
intending to start a creamery on his
place in Darnen, but we understand
that he has abandoned the project,
much to the regret OF the farmers
of that community and
of those people generally who are in
terested in our country's progress.
Certain it is that while such an enter.
prise would be safe and profitable
investment. for Mr.. Cogel (fOt his
farm alone would supply fair sized
creamery it would be the initiation
of movement that would mark a
more prosperous era in the county
history. We hope to see Mr.. Cogel
stick to his first intention.

he'll saith a great writer. do not know
exactly what God will do hereafter with
those who seem to be the absolute victims
OF conditions, traits and environments,
with tendencies stronger than their wills
or mortal purposes but this l do believe A:
that God will not doom one single soul to
eternal Punishment without sufficient light
and fair chance. My father, your father,
our earthly parents, would not do it; and
my God, your God, would not do it. "God
IS love-" when my father and mother
forsake me, the Lord will take me up" In
the love and tenderness and outstretched
arms of that compassionate Father, at the
return of his weary, burdened, prodigal
son, [ see no such gloomy, dismal picture.
Immortality is not conditional, but in
herent. 1t is simply a continuation of
mental moral and spiritual existence, and
what we are making ourselves now in mind
and emotions and spirit, we will find our
selves to be in Gods spiritual kingdom.
There will be grades and degrees, last as
we find them now; this is the analogy we
have now. This is Gods present principle
of adjustment, and the most reasonable and
logical principle Of adjustment hereafter.

bacco.
This much for railroading, and now foi
a few other observations.
Spain and Italy do brisk trade in lot.
! teries. The lotteries are of every descrip-
ton. There are the royal lotteries, con-
Quoted for and by the Government then
there is every other conceivable kind OF
lottery. The moment we reached Havana
we found ourselves surrounded and impor-
tuned by lottery ticket criers. The streets
of Madrid resound with the shrill, loud
cry of the lottery ticket peddlers. Their
traffic is carried on in more quiet and
subdued way in Italy.
Sunday is by no means the quiet day Of
rest in Spain and Italy that it is in the
United States or England. In Spain it is
observed as day Of sport for those that
can afford it, but for the poor it is a day of
labor, like the other DAYS of the week.
The bull-fghts are held on Sunday, and
are often attended by the chief dignitaries
of Church and State.
In Italy there is about the same man
ner of observance The wholesale houses,
banks and public buildings are closed,
as well as few of the larger shops, but the
trades, shops and laborers continue their
work as usual number, however, take
holiday in the afternoon. We saw dirt
carts and grayel-wagons with laborers at
work on Sunday, almost within the shadow
Of st. Peters. Women work here in the
iields, and in the cities they carry the
hof' and perform all that kind of labor
done only by men in the United States.
There are no temperance organizations
or societies here and there is scarcely any
need for them. In all our travels have
only seen one drunken man in Spain; two
IN Algeria, one in the South of France,
one In Italy and none in Austria.
In Spain and Italy it is common thing
to lind public letter-writers in the streets,
who, for fee, are ready to write for those
who employ them. Considering the lib
eral patronage they receive, it is to be in
ferred that there are many here who are
unable to write.
One Is here apt to miss the sound of the
shrill call to work from the factory whistle,
so common in almost every American city.
In place of this, however, he will be cease
lessly annoyed by the Changing of number
less church bells at almost any hour of the
day or night. DAVID LUBIN.

Horse-Eadish Culture.

Horse-radish requires deep, mellow,
rich soil, so that the roots may be grown
in one year large enough for sale, and the
land then plowed so as to clean out the
myriads of small sprouts that would cover
the soil with plants the succeeding year.
A heavy dressing of fine manure should
be plowed under in the spring, or coarse
manure in the fall, replowed deep Just be-
fore planting, making the land deep and
mellow. Then throw up into ridges three
feet apart and plant the sets or pieces of
root one foot apart along these ridges.
Plant last of April to middle of May, and
SOW radishes, beets, lettuce, etc, between.
The additional crop will be no hindrance.
The yield of good land is four to six tons
per acre, though often less than half that
much. 1t cannot be grown well on poor
or stony land, and there is no use trying
it. But it is profitable where there is a
market for it. 1t is about as hard to kill
out as Canada thistle or couch grass. 1t is
good deal of work to prepare the roots
for sale. They must be trimmed with a
knife, large roots assorted from the small,
and then be carefully washed with a scrub
bling brush on a board so as to look at
tractive.-Prdirie Farmer

Posing in washineton,s Clotnes.

An interesting incident occurred at the
Smithsonian Institution to-day. This was
the photographlng of the costume worn by
General Washington when he resigned his
commission in the army to the Continental
Congress at Philadelphia. John Noah,
the son Of 4 well-known newspaper CORE
spondent of this city, who is a clerk of the
Institution, was selected as the subject by
whom the clothes should be worn. Mr..
Noah is Il young man, more than six feet
in hight, and of splendid physique. Gen
eral Washington's uniform fitted him per-
fectly. A painting OF Washington, now in
the possession of the Institute, shows him
TO have been not unlike Mr.. Noah in APP
pearance at the latterS age. The photo
graph to-day, after Mr.. Noah had under
gone a certain preliminary fixing, is said to
be an excellent representation of Washing
ton at the age of "a. When this operation
had been successfully concluded, Mr.. Noah
was dressed in the uniform in which Gen
eral Jackson appeared at the battle of New
Orleans, and an equally good representa-
ton was secured. The object Of photo
graphing the uniforms is to preserve their
appearance to future generations after the
material shall have faded and rotted away

How Americans throw Away Money,

1t gives one an idea of the stupendous
increase of wealth in this country that the
Ponce de Leon Hotel at ST. Augustine,
Fla, which cost S2,500,000 and holds about
1000 guests, has paid so well that its owner
is adding to it the Alcazar across the street
at a cost OF S3,500,0 600 more. The Atlanta
Constitution describes this hotel as a world
wonder of splendor and luxury, but the
paragraph that gives the best idea of its
elegance and the wealth of its patrons is
this: The rates? Five dollars a day and
upward. Eight out of ten visitors pay So
a day. The other two, taking private par
lors or extra rooms, pay from SIS to 500 a
day. The suite of rooms engaged by Mr.
Pulitzer were $3.50 week. The Duke of
Newcastle paid $3.50 week for his rooms,
ordered in an extra sideboard, and kept
them while away two weeks in Southern
Florida. \ lady paid 81 900 for two weeks
for her apartments. The bridal chambers
cost $40 a day-not steep figure for young
folks. The price for diuner is $2-simply
because the boats and trains bring scores of
sight-seers every day who take dinner, hear
the concerts and explore the house from
the picture gallery and gardens to the
sheltered roof, below which and far away
the ocean unrolls, It's thunderous majesty"
Truly we are a great people when we can
pay such hotel bills and still get home
from such distance.--Rochester Union.

As smoothed her rumpled pillow,
Close she clasped and kissed me, then
Murmured gently, Goodnight, mamma /;

On the sleeping homes below,

Some, made sad by wrong and woe.
And whispered, "Oh, our Father,

tower. 1t is Saracenic, and the Arabic
Inscriptions over the door decides that it
was built A. d. 1910.
10 our right are seven lepers who have
followed US to receive aims, and before as
cending the tower let us see them. The
city gates are closed against them. and
they have no alternative but to beg. Poor
uniortunates, Six of them are women.
How they plead for help. They lift up
their mutilated hands and implore
assistance. Nothing but the stubs of
| the fingers remain. There is one whose
left hand is entirely eaten away, and the
right has but a part of the middle finger
and thumb remaining; others with the
| face indescribingly marred-mouth, nose
and eyes almost destroyed. What appeals
for pity and mercy and help l cannot
resist them. God pity them, and over
throw the government that taxes the
people to poverty in order to build palaces
and neglects to provide so much as
plaster for these helpless victims of leprosy.
The ascent of the tower is made up
winding staircase of 126 steps. The tower
IS l2O feet high, and has a stone gallery
carried entirely around it. At our feet
nestles the reputed Arimatha, the home
OF Joseph, the rich counselor of the Jews.
1t Is called Ramleh. The glitter of the |
Mediterranean waters upon the west makes |
1t appear like a mirror To the north |
stretches out into the invisible the plain |
of Sharon, extending also to the west into |
the edge of the sea. Southwark is seen !
the plain of Phillistia, showing Gath,
Ekron and Ashdod in the distance, and as
we gaze eastward we see the ancient hills |
OF Judea. The plains are clothed with |
the glorious garments of spring. The /
orchards and vineyards of LYDIA, a little
to the north, with the minaret of the |
mosque rising above the trees, recalls the |
days of the lsraelites, when they declared |
that their lines had fallen in pleasant
places" Ramleh has been the scene of |
many fierce conflict during the crusades.
Upon leaving the plains of Sharon we
passed over rugged elevation lined with
angled flint, and descended into the valley
OF AJalon. We pitched our first camp
here on the western edge of the valley, and
shall enjoy the privilege of watching the
falling shadows of night cover Gideon and !
over Avalon, as in the afterpart of that
memorable night 1850 before the dawn of
the Christian era, when Joshua achieved |
his wonderful and perhaps miraculous vic
tory over the Amorites, recorded in the
10th chapter of Joshua. Our tents are
very cozy. Double-ay, well stayed, and
carpeted with rugs. The furniture consists
of an iron bedstead, a washstand, bowls and
pitchers and towels for two; camp-stools,
clothes hooks, and comfortable bedding,
clean and tidy. When we reached camp
cup Of tea was served and supper an
nounced to be ready in IN hour and thirty
minutes. That supper was a feast.

Forty Years Ago.

Collins were very plain, and burial cask-
cts were unknown.
Tombstones had longer epitaphs and
more verbose eulogiums inscribed upon
them.
Eggs were a shilling dozen and butter
was considered high at eighteen cents a
pound.
Much of the silver currency, fps, levies
and dollars, was of Mexican and Spanish
coinage.
The country retail trade was much bet
ter, as people could not so easily run to
the city by rail.
Business letters were more voluminous
and formal, and were written in precise,
round hand.
There was New York currency, eight
shillings to the dollar, and New England
currency, six shillings to the dollar
The diet was more surcharged with
grease, the winter breakfast usually being
made of sailed ham and hot cakes.
Dinner was simply hasty lunch at
noon, and little Importance was attached
to the necessity for good digestion or pc
Rod of rest after eating.
The bank bills were OF State banks, and
the further West their locality the shaker
they were Illinois and Indiana bills
would barely pass in New York
Bread was homemade. Coffee was
freshly ground every morning, and the
grinding of the family cofiee-mill was fa-
miliar sound hours before the children
arose.
