WEST vIRGINIA's DEADLOCK.

West Virginia Democrats have display
ed more zeal than sense in their efforts
to deprive the Republicans of the fruits
of their well-earned victory in this State,
and it will not be surprising if the upshot
of the contest now going on in the Legis-
lature shall be not only the seating of
General Golf as the duly elected Cover
nor of the commonwealth. but the selec-
ton of Republican to succeed Mr.. Ken
ma i'll the United States Senate. The Re-
publicans at every stage in the fight have
demonstrated both their superior wisdom
and their conviction of the justice of
their cause, and they now threaten that
unless the partizan and dishonest oppo-
sition to the announcement of Golf s
election is discontinued, they will show
by incontrovertible testimony where the
cheating and bribery actually occurred
which gave to Fleming one thousand
fraudulent votes, thus cutting the ground
from under him, even though the dis
puted returs should be thrown out.
The plea that the Republicans were
purposely delaying the organization of
the Legislature was disposed of on We'd
nesday by the Democrats themselves.
Two of them, from sheer disgust, desert
ed their party and voted for Republi-
can as president of the Senate. The Re-
publicans strove Intellectually half a doz-
en- times to have the vote announced, but
the Democrats finally succeeded in in
ducing their companions to change their
votes and prolong the deadlock.
Responsibility for a failure to organize
must henceforth rest on the Democrats.
The Republicans have done everything
that the most censorious could expect of
them, and if the struggle is continued un.
til after the present governors term ex.
pires, Golf will be sworn in and proceed
to administer the office; nor will the bet
ter class of Democrats in the State grieve
to any extent. There never has been in
the history of electoral complications a
more barefaced disI egard of the plain
letter of the law than that exhibited thus
far by the democrats in the West Virgin.
ia Legislature. They appealed TO the
courts presided over by their own judges
and they decided against them. Unmind
full of the rebuke, they refuse to agree
to announce the result of the election in
accordance with the law. Such defiance
of statutory provisions by those chosen
to make the laws, must inevitably bring
into contempt constituted authority, and
good citizens, even though their sympa
thies are Democratic, will not weep al
the discontinue of those who bring such
discredit on their principles.

Is undoubtedly caused by lactid acid in
the blood. This acid attacks the fibrous
tissues, and causes the pains and aches
in the back, shoulders, knees, ankles,
hips and wrists. Thousands of people
have found in Hood IS Sarsaparilla posi-
tive cure for rheumatism. This medi-
cine, by its purifying action, neutralizes
the acidity of the blood, and also builds

Saving Seed Corn.

Now is the time to select best ears for seed corn for next spring. Where q farmer has planted spe- cial patch of choice seed for the pur pose of producing his planting seed. of course he will select from such patch But the majority of farmers will probably rely on selecting seed from the crib next spring. It is far better to select now, from the stand Ing corn. the best ears from the best stalks. to the amount of four or five times as much as will be absolutely required for planting another crop, put in il box or bin to itself and re- select-ear by ear-neXt seed time. Careful, judicious selection of seed costs but little time and labor in comparison with the certain increase in the yield and quality of the next crop. The careful selection of seed is one of the first and essential fac tors in successful intensive system. It is quite important to secure the best of seed corn, cotton, oats and other farm crops as it is to select the best specimens of the best breeds in order to produce the best and most profitable noeks and herds.
 Of course every farmer will save all the peas that cannot be gathered by the stock themselves before spoil ing. They are second to no other food for working and fattening stock and are unequaled as food for milk COWS, while the vines, if properly cured, make nay fully equal to clo- yer hay, besides being the cheapest manure available. We are writing now in the memory of the past sea- son when seed peas were so scarce, and q view of the greatly increased area that will be put in peas next year. Southern Cultivator.

About Cot ton Worms.

Foresceing that the cotton crop might be attacked by caterpillars, Mir. Walter DeWolf, of the Agri- cultural Department, has made a study of these pests and he is able to give some interesting facts about them.
 "These cotton worms," he said, are the most prolific creatures in the world, There may be only dozen of them in a cotton patch, and at the end of three weeks there will be mil lions. They begin as moths. One female will lay from 400 to GOO eggs. These hatch in three days. They are then little skeletons of worms, but they quickly attain their growth, Then each one webbs up and be- comes q moth and is prepared to lay GOO more eggs. The whole of their growth from an egg to moth takes three weeks. All the time worms are growing they eat surprisingly and generally attack the plants when they are full of sap. In dry season they appear first in the bottom lands, but during wet seasons they attack the highlands as quickly as the bot tom lands. The worst enemy of the worms are ants. These small in- sects attack the worms and kill thou sands of them. If enough ants could be placed in field it would soon be cleared of worms. Heavy rain storms also kill quantities, and constant working also does great good. "- southern Cultivator.

 High minds are as little affected by unworthy returns for services as the earth is by those fogs which the earth throws up between herself and his light. Moore.
 The body fashions itself more or less after the intents of the mind. Just as mans character gradually stamps itself upon his face, so, liter ally, does his habitual conduct inn press itself upon each organ and tis- sue of his body. In order to perfect health, then, it is clear that we must begin in the region of the intellect.

It is an easy matter to farm prof itably on rich soil, ample capital, and with all the necessary appliances, but the farmer who expects to sue ceed with but limited facilities will find it unprolitable to adhere too rig idly customs of the past. It is es- sential that the farmer advance care fully, hut no farmer can expect to obtain the full benefit of his labor unless he is willing to accept the re- suits of experiments, and to endcav- or to improve his opportunities.

A Plea for Boys.

am sorry to say that boys are not generally understood. Between siX and fourteen years of age the mascn- line nature is q mixture Of mischief, and sensltiveness, and spunk, and fun, and trouble, and pugnacity, which the chemistry of the world fails to analyze. A little girl is de- tinable She laughs when she Is pleased, cries when she feels badly, bouts when she is cross, and eats when she is hungry. Not so with a boy. He would rather go a-nutting than to eat, forgets at the !ish-pond that he has not had his dinner. often laughs when he feel, badly and looks submissive to an imposition until he gets the perpetrator alone in the middle of the road, and tumbles him him into the dirt till eyes and mouth ana nose are 50 luli tlidC ttt itiiON
 magines that before his time he has returned to dust. X boy under a calm exterior may have twenty emo tions struggling for ascendency. ks- peciallv dc 1 feel for boy who has more fun aboard than he can master. How well I remember the country school house where we all had to be scdate, though one boy would make face enough to put the whole school in danger of running over with gig gle. It is an awful thing for child not to dare to laugh when the merri- ment rises and wells up till the jack ct gets tight and the body is ball of fun, and he knows that if out of one of the corners of his compressed lips sncker should escape all the boys would go off in explosion, Iremem- Der times at school when 1 had such responsibility of repression resting on me and proved unfaithful.- Dr. Talmage, in N.

The practice of heaping manure in the fields in the fall is about as slov- enly and ill-adviscd as could we'll be. It makes the ground far too rich in the spots under the pile, and de- prives the rest of the field of the fer tility which would have been secured by an immediate spreading of the manure over the entire area.
