f. +. Gould, secretary of District
Assembly log, Knights of Labor, has
transmitted letter to John c. New in
which the writer calls attention to the
fact that Mr.. New has declared that
'any one making affidavit that Har-
rison said that a dollar day is enough
for any laboring-man would he ar
rested for perjury" He then cites the
evidence which has heretofore been
submitted, but in order that the pro-
prietor of the Journal may have no
reason to doubt that such an affidavit
has been made. he incloses one made
by John G. Schwartz, and asks Mr..
New to make the inclosed the basis OF
Schwartz arrest. Schwartz is new
witness to Harrison's language, and
his affidavit reads as follows:

that he heard Harrison say that they tthe

The road by which they had come
the night before could be seen at one
point only, and that nearly mile dis
tent, where it wound around spur Of
the mountain and diyed down into a
rayine from which it emerged only to
wind around other bluffs and spurs and
dive down into other hollows out of the
range of vision of any one standing in
the door or ut the windows of the
shanty.
BY ascending to the summit of the
mountain, a succession OF lower ridges
and hills could be seen stretching away
towards Phippsburg and the river, with
sometimes glimpse of the valley be-
yond. and of thin line of smoke from
the steamers that went putting up and
down that highway of nature: but from
tho lower ground on which the shanty
stood this view was shut out by inter-
vening hills, and there came feeling
of loneliness, and sequestration indie

The few scattering grape vines, left

showed the same lack of care, the very
luxuriousness of their growth and their
untrimmed appearance adding to the
general look of desolation.
And this was the scene upon which
Martha Parsons looked, standing in the
door of the shanty with her two
daughters. Contrasting il with the home
they had just left, and recalling the fact
that the nearest neighhor was two miles
away, is it any wonder that her heart
sank and that for a moment she almost
wished they had gone down into the
valley and rented, instead of buying
this isolated and lonely place upon the
mountain sideo

JOHN PARSONS GIVES ERASTUS HINT.
When the spring came. the level
ground about the shanty on the mount
tain side had been broken and sowed in
grain, or planted with vegetables; the
sloping ground above set in grape vines,
and hundred added fruit trees We're
putting forth their buds and giving
promise of the future.
John Parsons was not SO young and
spry as formerly, but he was still in
good health, and work was his only
escape from thought Every day when
the rain was anything less than reg
ular downpour, he was to be seen at
work somewhere about the premises,
and Mrs Parsons and Lucy lent ready
assistance.
As the house was small. the labor of
caring for it was small also. and on
pleasant days one or both of them were
to lie found busily employed in the
garden or vineyard.
They made few acquaintance in
their new home. There was no ne; gh-
Dor nearer than two miles away,
and not more than a score of families
within circle easily reached for days
visit, and OF these a number were for
eigners, who, being unable to speak the
language, did not mingle with their
American neighbors.
Occasionally a couple of women from
some of the little ranches upon the other
side of the mountain would come to
spend the day at the shanty, but not
often; and, although pleased to have
them come, Mrs Parsons and Lucy did
not Away return their visits. This was
no. because they did not feel kindly
towards their neighbors, but because
they felt little inclination to go from
home, and because they were busy.
whenever the weather would admit
Of it, in helping to get the place in
shape to produce a living for the family.
And SO the spring and summer passed,
and fall came again.
They now had an abundance of vege-
tables; the two cows which they had
brought from the old place, and which
found pasturage in the hollows of the
hills. supplied them with an abundance
of milk and butter. and even with
small surplus to sell; and this, with the
chickens and turkeys that thrived SO
finely and wandered at will up the
mountain side and down the gorge at
the foot of the level field, kept them
supplied with groceries. .
OF clothing they had a good supply
when they came. and were not obliged
TO purchase. either for garments or
bedding. for some time to come, and so
did not suffer for anything except from
sense of their losses and wrongs, and
for the want Of companionship.
They heard from Jennie and her hus-
band every few weeks. Ensign had
been given the place promised him.
They were living in the outskirts of the
city, in little cottage which they had
fought On monthly payments, and were
comfortable and happy, as young mar

health and plenty of faith in each other

A CLEAN OF SUNLIGHT,

feelings of despair. This was to be
their home and they must make the
best OF it. and without word she
turned back and began arranging
things SO as to give room TO set the table
and get what breakfast was possible un-
der the circumstances.
Mr.. Parsons came in with his arms
full of wood gathered from fallen tree
top, and soon fire was burning in the
stove and the smell of coffee filled the
room.
No complaints were uttered, but all
worked to get things to rights. Nails
were driven into the studding of the
walls and articles of clothing and
many of the cooking utensils were
hung up out of the way, at least for the
time being.
The table was placed in the center of
the room and covered with a white
cloth, the frugal meal placed upon it
and the family gathered about for the
first meal in the new home. As they
ate they talked of how best to arrange
things.
If it had been the dry season they
could have got on SO much more COM
fortably. but with the certainty of rain
one-third of the time for months to
come, the prospect was dismal enough.
However, they must do the best they
could, and after breakfast Mr.. Parsons
helped to put up the beds, one in each
corner farthest from the stove, which
stood in the center at that end of the
room where single window of six
small panes of glass looked out upon
the mountain above them. At the other
end were two windows of twelve panes
each. through which could be seen the
hills stretching away towards the river
There was also a similar window on
each side at the right of the doors, SO
the room was not dark. however much
it might lack for conveniences.
Everything not needed for daily use
was packed in boxes and trunks and
stored away under the beds. but even
with this economy of space very little
room was left for moving about
Each member of the family, however,
tried to be cheerful and so cheer the
rest Lucy even went SO far as to at
tempt a witticism. and suggested that
there was no lack of room so long as
none of them were obliged to leave the
house in order to get space to open the
stoye door.
Strips of bright carpet were laid be-
tween the beds. about which were hung
curtains reaching from the ceiling to
the floor. The clock found a resting
place upon a shelf to the left of the
front door A bureau with a M 'rror
occupied the space between the win
lows at the end where the beds st )od.
The table, when not in use. was olded
up and allowed to stand in the center
of the floor ready to be opened at meal
time. Upon the walls were hung q few
pictures The white curtains which
mad once adorned the windows of the
sitting-room of the old home were fitted
70 those of the new: and when all was
done that could be done, the room
looked SO bright and coy that the
hearts Of the occupants lifted little.
and but for the thought that one was so
soon to leave them, whom they knew
not when, if ever, they would meet
,gain, they might have been ain ost

HOW TO TtST SEEDS.

Valuable Suggestions Made at the On
taro Agricultural College.
A bulletin of the Ontario Agricul-
tural College contains among other
valuable matter the following to test
the vitality OF seeds:
/. Place one hundred seeds between
sheets OF blotting-paper laid on sand,
and keep the paper damp in a place
where the temperature is about 78 de-
grees to 50 degrees Fahrenheit. Tho
number of seeds terminating will indi-
cate the percentage good.
2. Place the seeds on q piece of
flannel in saucer. with sufficient water
to moisten it thoroughly. After scatter
ing the seeds Zone hundred) on the fan-
mel, put a piece of damp blotting- paper
ever the whole and place in II warm
room. Keep it continually damp, and
in q short time the seed will germinate;
the number sprouting will be the per-
centage of good seed.
For examining seeds as to purity,
scatter them on u piece of black card
board, and the foreign grains are
readily observed. If good collection
of seeds, true to their kind. is kept for
comparison, the impurities can be easily
identified.
The results of various tests in the
germInator are given. The following
differences will practically cover the
whole ground:
Age has u marked effect on the vitality
of certain seeds.
Many seeds have lost much of their
vitality from improper curing or other
causes
Frozen wheat is not reliable for seed,
for even though terminating a fair per
cent. of growth in the field is of more
or less weakly nature. All seeds should
be tested for vitality and purity.
A small percentage of impure seeds
means very many in bushel.-- Chicago

There is no difference between o

NAL, for the first term means of pure
and unmixed breed. stock or race; bred
from a sire and dam of the purest or

the word thoroughbred should only be
applied to the thoroughbred race horse,
an animal supposed to have descended
from the best horses Of Spain, Barbary,
Turkey and Arabia. Out of such ma
terial as was to be obtained from the

has descended. but is now called a
thoroughbred to distinguish it. perhaps.
from other equally pure breeds which
are not race horses. The name
