words, the more we use fruits and
vegetables the greater length OF years

Possibly a COW may be overfed,

roadsides, but its growth is slow.
The night temperature with win

not otherwise. Keep dust from the

When planting shade trees the
hardness Of the trees should be given
preference over rapid growth. 1t is OF
no advantage to secure a shade tree
early, only to have it die when most
useful. Always select trees of kind
that have been tried and tested as well

Coarse meadow hay is worth for
feeding something more than straw
and will supply the roughness needed
for cattle and sheep if sufficient guam
tity of richer food is given with it.
Sometimes injury is done by forcing
stock to eat too much OF this rough
ness, when by feeding the grain food
more literally less of the coarse fodder
is wanted. For instance, if fifteer
pounds OF good hay is proper ration fol
a COW per day, twenty pounds of poor
hay will not be u proper substitute
along with more grain, but only ten
pounds of it should be given, and it vii
be digested.
In Northern climates many so
called hardy plants need protection
through the winter and early spring
Pansies, especially, should be covered
by placing light timber or blocks O
wood around the edges Of the bed, with
few strips of boards laid across, thus
forming foundation on which to res
hemlock boughs, straw or whatever
covering is used. This provides an ali
space of an inch or two, and prevents
suffocation and consequent decay o
the plants, often the result OF too clos'
packing. Plants thus cared for are no
weakened by exposure through tn
long winter, and are ready for an earl,

An AnecdOte Of the Famous Cheeryble
Brothers of Dickens.
A great part of what is called a
mans success in life depends upon his

natural bent il, and then following it.
James Nasmyth was particularly
fortunate in this respect Although
his father was an artist, and he him.
self had no little aptitude for drawing
and painting, yet he was sure that he
machinist he became. Having learned
his trade, he went to Manchester to
start in business TO- himself, and there,
among other good people, he met the
Brothers Grant. the famous Cheeryble
Brothers Of Dickens. He was first in
troduced TO Daniel, who invited him
to his house, and presented him to his
mobile brother William" as Daniel
always called him. At the dinner
table young Nasmyth sat next to
William, and was asked many ques-
tions.
How cd are you'"
"Twenty-six."
Rather young to begin business on
your own account"
"Yes; but have plenty of work in
me, and know how to be economical. "
What capital have youp" Nasmyth
confessed that he had only sixty-three
pounds.
The old gentleman thought that a
very small amount. but after giving
his new friend sundry cautions, he
added that he must keep his heart up.
If some Saturday night you should
need money to pay off your hands, or for
any thing else, you will always find a
credit OF FIVE hundred pounds. at three
per cent, ut my Office, and no security. "
Nasymth was, OF course, as much
pleased as surprised. and, as he says,
could only whisper his thanks in re-
turn. To these Mr.. Grant responded
with a squeeze Of the hand, and a
peculiarly knowing wink.
This wink made a most vivid i'm
preston upon the younger man. 1t
seemed full Of all manner of kindness.
As he describes it, "Mr. Grant seemed
to turn his eye round. and brough;
his eyebrows down upon it in sud-
den and extraordinary y.anner."
The noble brotblr" proved every
whit as kind as young Nasmyth could
have expected or asked for; but i: trans

An DrQnuizntion, Wowevcr, that
Looks Like a Republican Move.
A call was issued Tuesday, by type
writer circular, for q meeting of which ID
styled the Tax Reform League, to be held
in Republican headquarters, Heald build
ing, Seventh and Market streets, on Fri
day evening at o'clock. The meeting
is called for the purpose of receiving new
members and the call says.
The purposes Of this organization nre,
in brief: Through agitation Of the ques-
ton of tax legislation, and discussion of
the same at public meetings by capable
speakers, the repeal OF the present poll
tax, and other negotiable tax laws, and
the passage Of better tax laws. The uses
and abuses Of our tax system, which
robs the county Of revenue as well as the
citizen OF his vote, which alone makes
the government under which
we live q government by
collectors and for collectors, and
their creatures, and which constitutes
formidable barrier to all business and
enterprise, are too we'll known ito every
Delawarean to need specific enumeration.
Every good citizen in the State, of what
ever party, Is indignant ever and
ashamed of the practical workings Of that
system. Every good citizen is, and
ought to be, willing to work for the re-
form OF that system. It blocks the open
door Of constitutional and every other
reform. The people can, IL they will,
and must, il they hope to enter that door
and abate other governmental evils,
thrust aside this all.powerful creator of
party majorities.
Attached to the call are the names OF
such well-known young Republicans as
William 3. Hilles, George A. Elliott,
Philip Q. Ohurohman, John P. Edwards,
Jr., FL. II. Ward, Reed Verguson, w. A.
Ruthven, W. o. Il. Oolquhoun, Eugene
+. Fraim, George II. Mccall and others.
These comprise the executive committee
OF the league. This fact coupled with
the conspicuous absence of the names OF
any Democrats and the calling Of the
meeting in the Republican headquarters
leads many to the belief that the Tax
Reform League is merely designed as On
adjunct to the Republican organization,
for service in the State campaign mex
year.
