Eight Fascinating Girls.

While other sections of this healthy
corner of the country are boasting q
about lone. elderly ladies of great bus
iness capabilities. Belfast, down in
Waldo County, points with pride to a
whole family of women who are not
only smart but young into the bargain.
These are eight sisters, and they carry
on quite an extensive farm just out
side Belfast. Their mother is dead,
and their father is barely able to do
few chores about the place, so that all
the farm work practically is done by
the girls. They keep several COWS, a
horse, four oxen that are never yoked,
500 hens. hogs in plenty, ducks and
geese galore, and thirteen cats. They
get out their own wood in winter, at
which season only two of them are at
home, the others being employed in
Boston, two are teachers i'm the public
schools. All spend their summers at
home, where they have a good time AS
well as run the farm. The reason the
four oxen on the place are never yoked
is because there is nothing for them To
do, and the reason why they are not
sold for beef is that they are pets, hav-
ing been raised from calves by the sis
ters. If there are any young men in
the metropolis looking for wives who
have ''some get up and get'' to them,
as they say out West, the vicinity of
Belfast will be found good prospecting
ground--Bangor (Me.) Letter.

City Officers.

The city officers to be elected on
April second are, a mayor, one council
man from each ward 1.-TWO from the
third ward). a member of the school
board from each ward, two justices of
the peace and two constables, city
treasurer and police judge.
For mayor, cOuncilmen, members of
school board and police judge the ladies
are entitled to vote, under the Kansas
municipal election law, and we think
all ladies Of the city should take suf-
ficient interest in getting good men in
these Offices to see that they are regis
tered and to vote when the time comes.
Under the law the registration books
are kept open up to ten days before the
day Of election, and no man or woman
can vote who have not been registered
since the first of January last. One
registration is good for the year, unless
a voter moves from the ward in which
he is registered, in which case he must
apply to the city clerk and have his
name transferred to the books Of the
ward in which he intends to vote.
The registration books will close on
the 22d day of March which is two
weeks and day from this date. the
7th. As yet there have been but few
registered, and voters are neglecting
their duty when they put the matter of
until the last moment. The clerks of
flee is open every day during business
hours. and generally in the evenings.
See that you are registered before it
is too late. There may be other mat
tiers than the election of city officers
the sooner you attend to it the better.

THERE will be the usual effort made
by some OF the old chronics TO draw
party lines In the coming city election.
AS such move will not result in good
to the city, most voters do not want
to see it done. We want good men re-
gardless of politics.

now Snow YOUR NErAL.

NOW SHOW YOUR METAL.
:. Well now, you republican fellows,
you have went and gone and done it.
Yes you have, you did it all by your
selves-the democrats did not help you.
You have now got Bennie Harrison
neatly tucked into the presidential
chair. as snug as a bug in a rug. and
the whole country is standing with its
mouth wide open wondering what he
will do next. No one wonders what
Jim Blaine will everybody knows
that Jim, he's the man. Jim, he will
make the whole country open its eyes
as well as its mouth. Jim, he's no
SLOUGH If he does have aspirations that
would ruin this country should they be
realized.
Democrats are not going to predict
any dire results to the country that
should follow Harrison's Inauguration
"a little thing like that cannot hurt
Americans very much. Neither are
democrats going to wage senseless,
cowardly, vituperative war, such as
has been kept up against Grover Cleve-
land during the four years of his term
of Office, against President Harrison.
He is our president just the same as
he is yours, and will receive credit at
the hands of true democracy for all the
good he may be able to do against the
wishes and the Vaccinations of many of
his co-workers in the republican party.
You've got the reins, now show us
how to drive. You are perched upon
the high seat and are at the head of
the procession again; now show to the
world that you have mapped out good
road: and propose to follow it. Keep
straight ahead i'm the protection route;
do not turn off at any of the roads
which democrats have laid out, even
though they may not be so rocky, or
you may know that they are shorter
and safer way to national prosperity.
Plunge right ahead with your Car of
Juggernaut-if the poor have not wits
enough about them to get out of the
way ride them down; that is the road
your party leaders have laid out, and
the rich men of the land are high and
dry, out of your way. You will hear
groans and cries of agony from the
poor and oppressed, and those unwel-
come sounds may be louder than the
cheers Of appreciation that will come
from those VINO are out of the way OF
danger. But drive ahead. and show
the democrats that you know how to
lead the van. You've got the inside
track, and ofcourse you fear no collis-
ion.
Ye Gods, and little cat fish! If you
bring about all the good that you have
promised should follow the election of
Harrison and the continuation of the
robber tariff there will be no use for a
millennium. This country will be good
enough without it. II all the beauties
of high protective tariff, as told of by
the speakers who spouted about Barton
county, but a few short months ago,
should follow in consequence of Har-
risOn's election and inauguration, we
would be willing to throw down the
pencil and the pen, hang up the scissors
and the paste brush, and cease all
earthly care; willing to die and be
gathered to our fathers. where there is
neither parting or weeping, nor dun
ming of delinquent subscribers, nor
dodging of collectors or hiding from
spring poets.

When in country the class of mod
crate wealth has disappeared, and the
whole nation has become divided into
a few excessively rich and numberless
extremely poor, we have what Is called
a plutocracy. Such condition of
society has all the hardness and none
of the redeeming traits of an arist0cra-
cy. History teaches, says the profes-
sOr. that when the sovereign power in a
state has been conferred upon the peO-
pie and these have degenerated into a
rabble they sell out this sovereignty to
the rich. In this way plrtoeracy is
born of democracy. Since plutOcracy
is the daughter Of a degenerate demo-
cracy it must not be too sharply dis
tinguished in form from the principle
of equality. Under this form of gov

Editor Floral Department.:
have been deeply interested in the ar
ticles by Mrs. Perkins on Vines, and trust
she will continue to write on Horticulture
There are so many beautiful vines that
are so much at home in fair Florida, and
require so little cultivation, that it seems
almost criminal not to grow them. There
are also beautiful families of shrubs. Take
the Hibiscus, for instance, with it's vari-
GUS shades and colors. | have fifteen va
rieties which havevery distinct differences
in their bloom. One. a hybrid from Penn
sylvania. pure white with red centre, a
constant bloomer from June to Novem-
Der. | have four single red of different
shades, and red with eight stripes on each
petal; two beautiful double yellow, very
different in their markings, also double
red. All of these are constant bloomers
during summer and fall, and even way
into the winter. They meet you with
their smiles in the morning, dew-ladened
and fresh from their nights repose. No
lover of flowers should be without col
lection of Hibiscus. My plants are most
ly small yet, but next year, Mr.. Editor, /
hope to send you cuttings or seeds.
The Poinciana GilIessii is another very
interesting Towering shrub for our flow
cry kingdom. AS l write this | have one

across the top and is mass OF bloom

There are so many beautiful Towering
plants and shrubs that do so well in Flor

home can have any good excuse for not
growing at least few flowers. They
make home so much more pleasant and

OF this interesting and rare plant Mr..
Mead writes as follows
[ have two extra plants from the divis-
ion of a plant which / bought in New
York two or three years ago. They are
propagated by cutting up the old stems
as they have aerial roots all along their
length-these roots take hold of the
ground as soon as they reach it and be-
come feeders. | have a big one in my
green-house-big enough to cover all ar
Dor (if it is not too large an arbor)-
covers fifty or sixty feet at any rate. 1t
set two fruits last year, but they evident
ly take long time to ripen; they are still
hard and green, although both branches
show flower buds again now. dare say
and SO be able to grow a large stock of
it. The plant stands light frosts if put in
a partly shaded place. The big freeze of
1886 cut off all the leaves OF my old plant
and also several green fruits that it bore
then for the first time, and it was two
years in regaining it's full vigor. +.

Kingsley describes it thus as he saw it
in the High Woods of Trinidad: Up the
next the German spreads it's huge leaves,
latticed and forked again and again. So
fast do they grow that they have not time
to fill up the space between their nerves,
and are consequently full of oval holes;
and so fast does it's spadix of flow
ers expand that (as indeed do some
other aroids) an actual genial heat and
fire of passion, which may be tested by
the thermometer, or even by the hand, is
given off during modification.

specimen ofthefruit grown by DR.. Harris,
as follows: The fruit speculiar in appear
ance, resembling very much an elongated
green pinecone. tits aboutsix inches long,
and when ripe the skin comes off easily in
small octagonal sections, leaving the
fruit with the appearance of a ripe banana.
The fruit has the combined flavor of pine
apple and banana, and is superior to
either.
