Time for Sowing Glover.

There are three different periods in
spring for sowing clover seed, each of
which mas its advantages. These adyan-
tages, as well as the drawbacks vary with
soils. climates, conditions and various
sther circumstances, and if the farmer
would succeed he must balance these
various conditions and select the best.
These three periods are the frozen peri

grain With which the clover is sown; and

Safeguards for Government Money.

Sub Treasurer Roberts of New York
who has the custody of $183 100000 of
the governments money has devised ad,
ditionel safeguards for the treasure, Two
men alone know the secret OF the lock in
the vault, one knowing one-half of the
combination, the other the second half.
These men will be known to their asso-
ciates, but to avoid complication IN case
of death Mr.. Roberts has given another
two the combinations. These latter two
are not known to their associates and are
not even known to each other. Further,
to guard against mishaps, the two men
known to have the combinations have
written in separate sealed envelopes each
his half of the secret, and Mr.. Roberts
put these envelopes in big envelope,
plastered it with sealing wax from end
to end, and locked it in the safe. This is
for his own benefit in case the holders of
one undivided half of the secret should
be sick or die. Mr. Roberts would then
break the great clump of wax on the big
envelope and for the first time know the
secret himself

Warnings Against the Evils Of the Spells
System.


DR.. Newman Smyth, in his Centennia
sermon at the historic old Centre Con
gregational Church, says a New Haven
despatch, spoke forcibly on the bad feat
ures of present American politics. He
said that the political opinions and fears
Of 100 years ago, then expressed in the
newspapers, show that political pessimi5ts
and alamists had little reason for their
fears in the American government. THE
evils which our farthers most feared" he
said, "are not the perls to which their
children have been subjected, Rotation
ia office, and not permaueDcy of tenure,
has become our shame. The soil system,
which our fathers did not anticipate,
has become the golden calf of our nat
ion and the worship of it our political
apostasy. This political debauchery,
elections won by money, and the division
of offices to those VINO cslor for the spoils,
are what many must be dreaded. Perish
the party, perish the President, perish
the Senate that will use the spoils system
The question OF civil service must be put
about party, and must become govern.
ment The questions which remain for
Us to settle are mostly social, and settl-
ing those questions we must remember
that whatever robs the psople of cheract
er is the enemy of our public"
