Dangerous Bridges.

The Brattleboro (Vt.) PhVni1 says that
three bridges, supposed to be strong and
safe for public use, have gone down in Brat
tleboro within a year and half. In this
there is certainly an argument in support OF
the position taken by Professor Vose of the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology that
in every state there should be system of
careful inspection of all bridges, both high
way and railway, by state inspectors duly
qualified and appointed and armed with
authority to condemn unsafe structures and
to compel necessary changes and improve
ments to be made in them.-Erchdnge
Oh, no. There is cheaper way
than that. Put the bridges on the
same footing as the rest of the high
way. Let people who travel take
their lives in their hands and let the
towns, which collect money from the
people for the ostensible purpose of
keeping the highway in repair, be re-
lieved of all responsibility to do so and
protected from any one seeking redress
for damage sustained by reason of the
towns neglect. Yes, first pass ian act
putting bridges on the same scale as the
rest of the highway. Why not.

More Bookkeeping.

The printer made me give a rather
vague charge in my bookkeeping ac-
count of February s. There is really
no such thing as "takes" in our bust
ness by either partner, but the "taTeS
are high and the collector memorable"
Nor shall we have any meat bills " to
pay from our acknowledgement but
ter COW, if we ever possess one, but we
know what the meal bills are nop !;
and l have heard more than one butter
maker say that it took all the butter
came to to pay the hired help and the
meal bills. 1t was very nice and good
of you to take such valuable lesson
from my communication on the old
subject that Mrs. Davis refers to and
set it in such clear light. Even l
myself never before saw so plainly how
the mutual account-keeping would re-
move the embarrassment of the one
who is not the cashier in asking for
money. All admit that there is mu-
tual interest and almost equal work for
the husband and wife who must work
for what they obtain, and if the wife
does understand how much income and
expenses both amount to in almost
every case she will be competent
member of the firm as well as worker
in the business. And Seraphina S.

Plants.
and wOnnel

To those intending to start new
supply of house-plants this spring l
would say: If you are depending on
your friends or neighbors for slips do
not wait until they have their plants all
arranged for the summer and have moth
ing to spare. l have good start now
on verbenas, petunias, fuschias, ETC.,
for bedding out when the proper time
comes. These root readily in water, as
do geraniums, gloxinias, begonias,
coleus and many others. l trim my
plants more than some people do, but
do not throw away the cuttings. 1
nearly always have something roofing
in bottle or vase to give away, es-
pecially in the early spring. A. C. W.

California.

A man who has recently returned
from the Golden State says the weather
is unusually cold there this winter.
Coal is S25 ton in places and ice
forms an inch thick. The houses are
so open the cold gets inl much more
than in the East. He describes the
country as hard place for women and
poor people, like all new places. The
houses are mostly of only two rooms
and many do the cooking by an open
fireplace. The water is.very bad, and
as soon as the cold lets up mosquitoes
and all sorts of things that1can sting
and bite and pinch are, too numerous
for comfort. A. NJ. S.

Frauds.

Don't answer advertisements unless
you wish to increase your stock of use

man, for curiosity, answered two adver'
tisements in New York paper. One
offered fnely-eXecuted so ("C'O
bill Gas a curiosity " for fifty cents, the
idea being that anyone dishonesty in
clined would send for it and expect to
get $3.50 on his investment The other
notice read, " How to earn S15 per
week and upwards in your own town."
For this they wanted fifty cents. For
the first he received coarsely-engraved
cut of one side of silver certificate for
SO, printed on coarse newspaper, and
for the second half-dollar he received
small strip of paper on which was
printed sect a job somewhere and
work like the ID. You can earn the

Proud of the Waterman.

/ was glad to read that one at least is
proud of our paper. 1t has often oc-
Cured to me to say so, but modesty inter-
fered. Dopeople generally realize what
power for good or evil the newspaper
is and what an educator? Probably the
reading books used in school and the
papers read at home 90 as far in form
ing the minds of the young and giving
them bias as all the teaching of after
years. If am correct in such state
ment ought not we to use our best
judgment and utmost vigilance in re-
gard to what papers we receive? 1t is
no small responsibility to admit papers
filled with low, sensational stories and
fascinating love tales to our fresides.
l am afraid Christian parents do not
sufficiently consider this matter. The
WATCHMAN is a clean, heightened
paper, and have been glad to note in
its stories the absence of silly and i'm
possible characters. We may say such
things will not injure our children, but
do we know that they will not? From
my acquaintance with young people l
judge that many young girls-and boys,
too--are living false life, trying to
act out some story or live out some
character that has taken hold on their
fancy. Within my own limited OBJ
servation two Opponents have nearly
been consummated through reading
such trash, and it is more than prob
able that romantic and unwholesome
reading has had much influence among
the class of women who seek separation
and divorce from their husbands. Ac-
tual life does not satisfy the morbid
craving of a mind diseased through an
overstimulated fancy. In some cases
even Sunday-school books are adapted
to the popular taste. Many of them
are mere love stories, or what friend
of mine calls "religious novels" 1t
is high time for change. A. NJ. S.

Separate.

We walk the ways of life apart,
Nor meet to make each other glad
A shadow rests upon each heart,
The soul of each is sad
In longings for a kinder fate
We spend the moments separate.
We live a half life, narrowed in
Upon itself, yet reaching out
For love and light that might have BEEN
In pain we grope about
For something our great want to meet.
Our half existence to complete.
The days are dark, the moments long,
No more the sunshine sweetly smiles
Beside the way no bird of song
Our WEAKNESS beguiles.
Our souls in lonely silence wait
The while we walk far separate.
Their language were foreign tongue
To all we meet upon the way;
To those we daily move among
Our souls have naught to say.
If speech be never understood
In dumbness is the better good
And yet 'twere sweet such honeyed speech
AS from our lips might overflow,
If, coming closely each to EACH
We should communion know.
'Twere sweet for love to syllable
Itself and all its story tell
'Twere sweet for hopes to interbend
With hopes in sentences of cheer,
'Twere sweet for sympathes to lend
To each their blessing dear;
'Twere sweet to feel, through touch and tone
The half life to completeness grown.
Farewell the fancy! in its place
Comes back again the wearing pain,
Between DER the wide, wide space,
bridge of dreams is vain.
Upon 1t we can never cross
However great may seem the loss.

giving us such fine farms. Here you
have Colonel Cannon and DR.. Webb,
while we have Mr.. Billings and the
Messrs. Moulton, who are doing great
good for the farmers of the state. He
did not expect or wish an experiment
farm to pay.
Mr.. Tinkham said the work outlined
for the station would need at least one
extra cipher added to the $4,000 to
carry it out to degree. 1t would be
impossible to secure farm which would
adequately represent the whole state in
soil, water, climate and exposure. The
station should be, and will be, a school
of investigation in which principles
must be defined and settled. Pot and
plot-culture will determine the actual
value of fertilizers, which can not be
ascertained on soils containing elements
of fertility. When science has shown
the actual values the farmer must be
his own experiment station for their
practical APPLICATION; no one else can do
it for him.
Mr.. Chaplin thought the lack of fer
tility in our soils question of para
mount importance, and the question of
fertilizers was one demanding attention.
An adjourned meeting was held in
the library, after the regular lecture in
the agricultural course by Professor
Cooke on "The Work of the Station,
Past and Future" at which Mr.. Davis
presented resolution to the effect that
the station purchase farm of one hun
dred acres or more for experimental
work. Mr.. Chaplin moved to amend by
substituting "buy or lease farm of
fifty acres or more" Mr.. Tinkham ia
vored the amendment Mr.. Hill
thought it better to purchase. The
amendment was passed and also the
resolution as amended.
On motion of Mr.. Tinkham a resolu-
ton was passed that cit is the sense of
this meeting that the station, in addi-
ton to Investigations by field, plot and
pot experiments toward determining
the absolute value and effect of farm
manures and other fertilizers, appoint
- assistants in various portions of
the state, who shall conduct field ex-
periments under its direction to deter
mine their agricultural value and most
profitable methods of application.
On motion of Mr.. Tinkham a resolu-
ton was passed that "the station ap-
point - assistants in various por-
tons of the state to carry on feeding
experiments under it's direction"
On motion of Mr.. Messer it was
voted that " it is the sense of this meet
ing that the station direct its attention
to the subject of horticulture as much
as its time and means will admit
Mr.. Miller expressed his satisfaction
at the freedom with which suggestion S
had been made and their value, after
which the meeting adjourned.

In an Apple Cellar.

Red and russell and yellow,
Lying here in a heap
Pippins, rounded and mellow;
Greetings, for winter keep;
Seek-no.furthers, whose blushing
The soul of n saint would try,
Till his face showed the crimson flushing
The cheek of a Northern Spy.
Hid from the winter weather,
Safe from the wind and seet,
Here, In pile together,
Russell and Pippin meet,
And in this dim and dusty
Old cellar they fondly hold
A breath, like the grapes made musty
by the summers radiant gold,
Each seems to hold vagrant
Sunbeam, lost from the sky,
When lily blooms were fragrant
Wells for the butterfly;
And when the snow is flying
What feasts in the boarded store
OF crimson and yellow lying
Heaped high on the sandy floor.
Frutage of bright spring splendor,
OF leaf and blossom-time,
That no tropic land can mend, or
Take from this frosty cline
Fruit for the hearth-stone meeting,
Whose flavor naught can destroy,
How you make my hearts swift beating
Throb with the pulse of boy
Apples scarlet and golden,
Apples juicy and tart,
Bringing again the olden
Joy to the weary heart.
You send the swift thoughts sweeping,
Through wreckage of time and tears,
To that hidden chamber keeping
The gladness of youths bright years.

The question naturally arises IN the
minds of thoughtful consumers, OF what
does this impurity or residuum consist?
In the case of the first named powder
there has been recently given the result
of an analysis made by Professor G. F.
Chandler of Columbia College, late
member of the New York State Board
of Health, which partially supplies the
missing information, and as the manu-
facturers of this particular powder are
continuously calling for the publication
of all the ingredients used in baking
powders there can be no objection to
its statement here. Among the inn
purities Professor Chandler found Cleve-
lands powder to contain large amount
of Rochelle salts, $40 per cent of lime,
with alumina, starch and water in
quantities not stated Alum is a sub
stance declared by the highest author
tiles to be hurtful. If the balance of
this residuum in all the powders named
is made up largely of alum, as it is
known to be in some, the public would
like to know it. Another official test
that shall go quite to the bottom of the
matter seems to be demanded.

BUTTER.-The Maine Farmer says
that butter takes nothing from the
soil that affects its fertilization, as do
crops of cereals. 1t is almost wholly
carbon, which is derived by the plants
from the air. Butter, though some
times high in price, is really produced
from the cheapest element known"

REMARKS BY THE EDIToR.-The
above communication, which is from
Vermont girl - residing in Illinois,
discloses most unhappy state of affairs,
and, in our opinion, very exceptional
one. There are, no doubt, such men,
as there are also some women who make
unreasonable demands for money far
in excess of the husbands ability to
supply, to say nothing of what would
be good economy. But we believe them
both to be rare exceptions and the one
evoked unequally" with such part
ner is certainly in need of the SYM
pathy and pity of all right-minded men
and women.
