Our nelghbor states that Marlboro
in building its new court house started
out with S25, 1000 and had to put
SIS, 900 to it before the work was done.
Now let us have the proof. The ac: of
1880, under which the building was
erected, provides for an amount not ex-
ceeding $4,000, and if our neighbor
will take the trouble to examine the
statutes he will find that no further sum
was ever after borrowed to pay off a
deficit. We do not want building
near SO large. The Calvert coun: y

cord1ng to tho Philadelphia Telegraph,
told his Bible class very pretty and
pathetic little anecdote at Bethany

"a young and neatly-dressed little
woman" he said, "came to my Office in

had been drinking to excess and had

asked her if she loved her husband,
and she said yes with q sob, big tears
beginning to steal down her cheeks.
She said she had but one child, little

Her story touched me deeply, and
asked her if she wouldn't like to have
her husband back again. 'Oh! yes,' she
replied, but he would never come

promised to do what could for her, and
she went away.
II made it point to find the husband.
When this was done, and we stood face
to face, 1 asked him If he didn't want to
go back to his home, to stop drinking,
and become man again. He answered
with sobs that his wife would never
. forgive him, and there was no use to
try. DO you love your wife?' said.
"'Yes, Sir, do he said, but 1 have

MADE TO LOOK NEW.

Simple and Effective Method Of Reno
waiting Old Garments.
Old clothing may be made to look
nearly as good as new by pursuing the
following plan, says the Philadelphia
Record: =.
Take, for instance, shiny old coat,
vest or pair of trousers of broadcloth,
cashmere or diagonal. The scourer
makes strong, warm soapsud and
plunges the garment into it, souces it up
and down, rubs the dirty places; if nee
essary puts it through second suds,
then rinses it through several waters
and hangs it to dry on the line.
When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls
1t up for an hour or two, and then
presses it. An old cotton cloth is laid
on the outside of the coat and the iron
passed over that until the wrinkles ore
out; but the iron is removed before the
steam ceases to rise from the goods,
else they would be shiny. Wrinkles
that are obstinate are removed by laying
wet cloth over them and passing the
iron over that.
If any shiny places are seen they are
treated as the wrinkles are; the iron is
lifted, while the full cloud of steam
rises and brings the nap up with it.
Good cloth will bear many washings
and look better every time because of
them.

Books and Catalogues Received.

The past week we have received the
following looks and catalogues:
A handsome pamphlet from the Com
missioner of Agriculture and Immigra-
ton of New Hampshire, with the title
Secure q Home in New Hampshire,
Where Comfort, Health and Prosperity
Abound" This work treats at consider
able length on the advantages offarm life
in that State, but the greater portion of
it is devoted to the subject ofthe deserted
farms. Seventy-fve pages Of the pam
phlet, in fact, are devoted to a description
and price list of these farms, and the
price at which they are offered shows
either one or two things. That farming
in New Hampshire is very unremunera-
tive or that the people have found other
occupationsv vastly more profitable. For
instance we find the following fair
sample OF prices on improved farms with
buildings, barns, etc. One farm of 100
acres, price, 5000. One of forty-five
acres. .$40O; 200 acres, $500. The
following is pretty good description of

How to Test Seeds.

1t is an easy matter to test the vitality
of grass and clover seeds by placing a
given number, say 100 of the variety to
be tested, between wooden cloths mOis-
tened with water. Care should be taken
to boil the cloths before using, to scald
the plate or pan in which the cloths are
laid, and to use only recently boiled
water with which to moisten the cloths,
in order to retard the growth ofthefungi
or moulding. Two or more cloths may
first be laid unon the plate or pan, the
seeds distributed on the upper one, and
another cloth laid upon the seeds. SUI
fcent water should be applied to keep
the cloths moist. plate Of glass laid
over the plates or pans would add to the
efficiency of the device by retarding
evaporation and protecting the interior
from floating germs of fungi. At a tenn
perature OF 100 to 800 Fahrenheit good
seed should terminate in from week to
ten days. Seeds will terminate after be-
ing under such influence several weeks, but
seed that do not respond in from seven to
ten days under such favorable influences
can he Of little value when subjected to
the vicissirudes of an ordinary seed bed.

The Celery Secret.

G lery can be raised on almost any kind
of soil, but deep, rich vegetab deposit
like well drained black muck is perhaps
the best. 1t should be worked early in
the spring and heavily MANFRED. Some
of the finest celery is grown on new land
the first year. One ounce of celery seed
will give 5000 to 10000 plants.
Ii the farmer has no hot bed the seed
can be sown in rich garden as early as
the ground can be worked in the spring
and the plants transplanted through
July and the first part ofAugust. The bed
must not be allowed to become dry where
the seed has been sown, and if artificially
watered late afternoon is themost favor
able time. The seed will he ow in COM
ing up, probably three Or four weeks. To
grow the best celery oneneeds the richest
land. The plants should be transp!antcd
the same as cabbages, tomatoes, etc.
After the seed is sown nothing is neces-
sary except to cultivate and keep free
from weeds until the beginning of killing
and blanching This of course doesn't
need to begin until the plants have as
sumed considerable size. Ii the earth is
heaped about the plants, care must be
taken not to have it fall within the
crowns, as this will injure the sale OF the
crop. tits customary to bunch Elephant
togeh her with the hands, as the earth is
drawn up to it.
Whe'e small amounts are raised per-
feet blanching has been done by wrap
ping each plant heavily with newspaper
and tying a cord about it. If the plants
stand very close this is good plan. An
other practiced success ully is to stand
drain tile over each plant Still another
is the use of boards. one on each side of
the row, with earth thrown up against
the boards to hold them in place. The
idea is to keep the SUI and wind from
the plant and make it assume an I'M
natural whiteness and tender brittleness.
There is probably no greater delicacy
which farmers can make the soil produce

A Few Facts about Florida Counties.

In the February number of the Bulletin
issued by theState Tmmigrationa agent ap-
pears an interesting table as to the value
of property, number of acres of improved
and unimproved lands in the different
counties in the State, and other informa-
ton of like character We know the
table is not correct; for instance it gives
the number of acres under cultivation in
Monroe county as cone" This is wrong
as we know of one man who has tOma-
to ''patch" of twice that size. Still the
table looks we'll and taken as a whole is
probably as correct as could be expected
in the absence of census.
From the table we learn that DeSoto
is the largest county in the State, con-
tanning 2,O45, $40 acres of land Leon
county comes next with 1854, 900 acres
and Polk third with 1,154,00O acres.
Leon county has the largest number of
acres under cultivation to-wit: 129, 700.
In this respect the following counties
rank in the order named:
