"Here's Richness for You"

Hiram Atkins spoke the truth for once
when he said last Saturday, in a voice
choked with emotion and sweat, after start
ing the democratic convention, We have
a supertiuity of riches" The convention
and rally We're pretty rich. The slowness
with which the delegates assembled called
from the ubiquitous Hiram an impatient
demand that those present should not be
kept waiting and that the convention be
called to order, which it was by John II.
Senter, chairman of the county committee.
Honest John " made a speech He told
what he had done for the county democracy.
He defined the appointed issues of the cam
paign as the policy of Jefferson against that
of Hamilton showing ignorance of the fact
that Jefferson upheld protective tariff.
He claimed for Blaine the proud distinction
(disowned by the great uncrowned) that he
owned the republican party. The speaker
made the charge that the plumed knight A"
when in congress dabbled in trusts-before
trusts existed. He said that the republican
party upheld combinations of capital against
organizations of laborers and farmers, again
showing ignorance of the fact that that
party is friendly to the grange.
Hiram Atkins merely spoke" When
he says anything he merely speaks. Other
men sometimes say something when they
speak. He glorifed the " Jacksonian 7"
fisheries message of President Cleveland
and was applauded by the crowd, who think
they are still voting for Andrew Jackson.

PLUMS IN PLENTY.


Varieties That Can Not Well Be Surpassed
in PrOduCtiveness.
Plum culture has not been q success
with every grower in recent years,
principally on account of the terrible
work of the curculio, a most clumsy
fellow generally, yet only too active
when bent on the p erpetuation of its
own race. This insect has effectually
prevented over-produc ton of plums,
and also deprived the majority of home
growers of their home supply. With
our present knowledge, and a number
of varieties Of plums which are prac-
tically curculio-proof to select from,
we see no reason why the amateur
should give up in despair, or let the
curculio have all its own way Many
of our native sorts will produce full
crops in spite of all insects, and so will
the newly-introduced Japan plums, of
which Ogon, Botan and Kelsey's have
been tested quite extensively and found
of great merit. We have seen Ogon
trees loaded down with ripe fruit,
every specimen of which bore the
scarcely visible traces of from three to
five of the ominous crescent marks,
proving to our satisfaction that the
fruit is able to Outgrow The curculio
sting and to take care of itself. The
same was our experience with the DE
Soto plum. one of the natives from
Minnesota. These two varieties can
not very well be surpassed in produc-
Gveness.
The Ogon is q round plum (the Cali
fornia growers, who describe it as oval
or egg-shaped, must have different
Variety, of good size, bright golden
yellow, fine, sweet, but rather dry
flesh; excellent for canning; ripens here
toward the end of July; tree a vigorous
grower; and apparently hardy.
De Soto is an American plum, of
medium size, bright red color and good
quality. Its productiveness is simply
wonderful. Tree entirely hardy. AS
blossom and pollen producer it is not
surpassed by any sort with which we
are acquainted, and this feature we
consider Of greatest value. Trees of
this sort should be planted scatteringly
among other varieties in every plum
orchard; and it will then "bear and
make bear" in abundance. The home
grower who wants to make sure of an
annual and abundant supply, should
plant several trees together, selecting
almost any of the best standard sorts,
with at least one Ogon and one De
Soto in the middle of the cluster of
trees; or he may graft cions of various
sorts, always including Ogon and De
SOLO, into limbs of one or more larger,
hardy plNm trecs--a native sort always
preferred. - Orchard and Garden

LEARNING TO TALK.
The Process OF Language Development /
Baby.

Baby.
Exceedingly interestingis the process
of language development in a babe.
No study in anthropology is more fer
tile. The babes first cries are purely
instructive and therefore purely animal.
Its complaints are in and by pure labi-
ais and liquids-used with the open
novels. 1t does not use the genial
tubercle; nor for many weeks the frontal
brain. It's second list of sounds move
farther back, and are 9, goo, gutturals
of the simplest sort. This @ sound. with
its natural associate !, becomes the
well-known basis of all primitive Ian
languages-the clicking or clicking of
Amos and Hottentots. Next observe
the babe as it watches your mouth and
laughs at your cooling and your baby
talk. 1t finally sets its own articulating
organs in motion and initiates you.
The consequence soon is simple use of
the frontal brain and the genial tuber-
Gle. The goo-goo is followed by eh-eh
and che-che, and soon after by modu-
lation. These are not only the first use
of the human organs, but the first cere-
brated sounds, as distinct from instinct
i've and Inherited utterances. The steps
toward highly complex cerebrated
language are thereafter rapidly taken.
We have to bear in mind that the
babe organically follows historic evolu-
ton, and is an epitome of past pro-
gress. 50 also in his speech he moves
on and on over the pathway of the
past, and reviews it all. An intelligent
child expresses appreciation and disap-
probation by the same sounds that are
used by adult monkeys. The savage
hardly uses cerebrated sounds at all.
The refinement of languages has ever
consisted in eliminating the animal in
heritance, The child's use of gestures is
al soinherited. He does not need to learn
to use his hands; only to secure mus
cular strength to direct them. His play
at first is surely animal froic, rejoicing
in shouts and shrieks that later he does
not find necessary to his enjoyment.
His laughing and crying can only be
understood as language, as they are
surely also in adults. The evolution of
laughter would be delightful branch
Of our topic, but Il theme too much by
itself. 1t is enough to note in passing
that not only do animals laugh, but
they smile. Laughter is even not I'M

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

If you want bloom, use small pots;
if you desire luxuriant foliage, use
large ones.
All who aspire to gardening honors

VICTIMS OF BEANS.
A Boston Story Concerning the Truth OF
Which There Can he No Doubt.


A Boston Story Concerning the Truth OF
Which There Can BE No Doubt.
Quite a number Of years ago young
German emigrated to Boston, and set
tied down here among the Yankees.
He prospered, set up in business for
himself, prospcred some more, and
after time went back to Germany
and brought over, from his native vii
lage, Il young wife. The young couple,
living and trading among the natives,
became pretty thoroughly American
lied, but did not lose their romantic
affection for their native land. Chill
dren were born to Them they still pros
pered in business. and after fifteen
years the husband retired from trade.
His heart still turning to Germany, he
determined to take his family there,
and place the children in school, leav-
ing it to the future to determine wheth-
er he should remain the rest of his life
in Germany. or return to Boston after
the education of his six children had
been well advanced.
The first day after the family had ar
rived at the parents old home was Sun
day, and the children with their father
and mother were grouped around their
grandparents for breakfast. Instead
of being served with the usual plates of
Boston baked beans, the elder of the
children was asked by the grandfather
what he would like to have for break
fast.
Some beans, if you please, " said the
boy in his best German.
The grandfather showed some sur
prise and said little crustily that he
was sorry that there were no beans.
Then he turned to the next eldest, a
girl, and asked her what she would like
to have for her breakfast.
I'D like some beans, please, gross
water" said the girl as matter Of
course.
The grandfather appeared somewhat
vexed, but asked the third child what
he would have.
Beans, please" said he.
The old gentleman here grew very
angry. But he asked all the rest of the
children in turn, down to the youngest
tot, and all declared that they wanted
some beans. And when they found
that they could have none, the smallest
children, overcome all ut once by home
sickness, began to cry, and the older
ones looked very distressed and I'M
happy. Their grandparents rebuked
the father and mother for not rearing
their children with better manners.
The parents protested that it was per-
fectly natural, and began to feel de-
cidedly homesick themselves.
at is no use" said the father to the
mother, after the meal was over and
they had retired to their chamber Owe
have made Il mistake, and neither we
nor the children can be contented here.
It. ism t that we can't do without baked
beans on Sunday morning, but that we
have become such Yankees that we
shall be homesick here"
II think you are right" said the wife.
land now that we have made up our
minds to that, hadn't we better 60 back
to Boston and educate our children
therc?"
Il think we had" said the husband.
After short stay, which nobody en-
joyed, the family packed up their bag
gage and returned to Boston. And all
because there were no baked beans on
Sunday morning. Boston Transcript
