you can plant the latter some where
where they will have partial shade. Okra
should be planted in rows and thinned to
one plant in every twelve or fourteen
inches or even less. Egg plants should be
tEansplanted as soon as danger of frost
is past. Cultivate and tertilize same as
for tomatoes. Lima beans do best in
summer and should beplanted along side
of the fence or ''poled" as they must have
something stout to climb on, as they get
to be quite heavy before the season is
over They will bear continually till

soon as all danger of frost is past, plant
out squash, of Scallop and Hubbard va
rieties. lput a bucket full Of compost
under each hill and plant about six seed
in o hill which are thinned to four. The
ScallOps comes on early and are soon
gone, owing to the worms killing tie
plants and entering the fruit. With the
Hubbard it makes a slower growth of
fruit, but by the time the worms arrive
the rind Of the squash is SO hard that
they cannot penetrate it, and they will
keep for long time. have nice Hub
bard squash now.
Cantaloupes can be treated same as
squash, but the worms will get
the crop unless planted very early and
protected from frost.
Cucumbers should be treated the same
way as squash in planting and fertiliz-

cukes. One is to let the vines run on the
ground the other is to put brush around
the plant and let the vines run on it. In
the latter case the cukes hang down from
the vine and are cOlored the same all
around, but it prevents the vine from
putting out any extra feeders which
it will do on the ground.

A ReSiStleSs Fire.

Fire and Water giyes an account of
the recent CONFEDERATION in BOSTON, which
may be taken as coming from an expert,
and mentions a few interesting points.
It is curious that the first alarm was
given from the same box from which
was sent out the alarm for the great fire
in 1872, which also began in Kingston
street, then occupied by small dwelling
houses. In just one minute from the
striking of the alarm an engine was on
the spot. but the flames had burst from
every window in the building, the Brown
Durrel store, before line Of hose could
be laid. In few moments fourteen
more engines had arrived, but the heat
Of the fire was 50 intense that the solid
streams Of water from the hose turned
into steam before they entered the win
dows, and the engines might as well
have blown air at the flames. In twenty
minutes the walls fell, and the fire
crossed the two adjacent streets. All
the engines in the city, thirty three IN
number, were hurried to the spot, and
help was summoned b, telegraph from
all the neighboring towns, and even
from Springfield, g. hundred miles away.
and. notwithstanding the heavy rain
which prevailed during most of the time,
nearly seventy engines were assembled
and pouring rivers OF water Oh the tire
before it was suhdued.

Official communication to the state de-
Iartment at Washington. ii the highest
terms. as devoted to doing good 70 the
poor: ssHe was known by the Chinese as
the Christian Buddha.' Hewas attached
to no organization OF men. He was a
missionary, pure and simple, devoted &c
charity rather than .proselytism. He
literally took Christ as his exeriplar.
Innkeepers would take no pay from him,
and were ever glad to entertain him.
1T must be said that his wants were
few, He wore the Chinese dress, had
no regular meals. drank only water. and
lived on fruit, with a little rice or millet-
He aimed at translating his ideal, Christ
into reality He found good in all re-
hgions. After a long conversation with
him one day, told him he was not
Christian, but Buddhist. He answered
that there were many good things in
Buddhism. He completely sacrificed
himself to the good of the poorest of the
poor. He acted out mis- principles to the
end. He was poor and lived as plainly
as the poorest of his patients. On char
liable subjects he wrote well. The ideal
to him was practical. Let this American
be enshrined ia the annals of men who
loved their fellow mer."-Halrs Journal

This is accomplished by means Of a

manner as 70 retain pressure OF air.
At the top of each tube is valve open

against an outward current.
There Is also valve opening into a
pressure reservoir through which air
may pass out, corresponding 10 the vale

much tabor they shipped their prize and
finally made fast to Fisherman's wharf
about 10 o'clock, with the sea lion quietly
settled in the hold of their little craft
Tbs news of the advent of the little
stranger drew large crowd to the
wharf, and muchs speculation was IN
dulged in as to the best manner Of get
ting the captive ashore.
Thomas Gilligan. who is now collector
at the wharf. was one of the most active
in giving advice, and, being some sort of
an officer, his opinions were listened to
with great Difference. The time came
when the sea lion had to be taken ashore,
and the Glorietta was brought to the in
cline inside the dock, and active prepa-
rations were made for transfer Of the
sea lion from the hold to the fisherman's
shed.
Collector Gilligan was the self ar
pointed director of the proceedings, and
he it was who carefully inspected the
loop which secured the sea lion, and he
it was who shouted "all ready" when a
dozen of the brawny fishermen took hold
of the ropes and tried to persuade MS
marine majesty to crawl up the incline
to a place out of the wet on top of the
wharf. The sea lion about this time be-
gan to take in the proceedings and to
make decided objections.
He evinced a very mulish disposition
not to be urged, and displayed such
temper that the men on the rope deter
mined to keep at safe distance. The
efforts of dozen were, however, too
much for him, and they had drawn him
almost to the top when he made an I'M
expected flop and nipped the fisherman
nearest him in the calf.
The Italian gave one yell, and all, with
the exception of Collector Giiligan, let
go the rope, He, gallant soul. held on,
and suddenly found himself foundering
in the bay. The sea lion had taken ad-
vantage of the decentralization of his
captors and made for the water, and
Gilligan, because OF his unwillingness to
let go of the rope, was made to follow
him. The sea lion escaped and Gilligan
is wrathy.-San Francisco Call.

The Decline in the Rate of Interest.

While the rate of interest on govern
ment bonds and city and railroad deben-
lures has been steadily falling within the
past two decades, the rates payable on
real estate mortgages have declined in
sympathy. This year, in New York and
Boston, liens on the best city property
have been placed at per cent, 2 per
cent. less than the rates current in 1859.
In other large cities of the Union a SINH
lar decline is observable; and, as between
newly settled states and territories and
the financial centers of the nation, the
disparity in the rates payable on well Sc
cured loans is much less today than it
was twenty years ago. The significant
point In the matter under consideration
is not SO much that the rate of interest
has been failing as that interest has be-
come distinctly separated from the wages
of superintendent and the premium
for incurred risk, which used to bs COM
bined with it.
The return on a government bond
represents the bare remuneration of
capital employed without hazard or
care. An investor in first class city
mortgages receives a larger income than
if he had bought government bonds with
his money, but he has not SO easy time
of it. He must have titles carefully and
responsibility examined; his creditors may
be unpunctual; occasionaIlyilen may have
the trouble of foreclosure on his hands.
His investments are for comparatively
short terms of years. and. between one
investment and another, part of his
capital may be unproduetiHe; or in rein
vesting he may be, obliged to accept
reduced rate. Hence the competition
for securities eliminating hazard and
bother, which is one of the notable facts
in the modern world of finance.-George
lies in Popular Science Monthly.

Tho First Lightning God.

Everybody believes that Franklin was
the inventor and constructor of the first
lightning rod. In this one particular
everybody is mistaken. The first light
ming catcher was not invented by the
great philosopher, but by poor monk of
Seuttenberg, Bohemia, who put up the
first lightning rod on the palace OF the
curator of Preditz. Morsvia, June 10,
1874. The name of the inventive monk
was Prohop Dilwisch. The apparatus was
composed of a pole surnounted by an
iron rcd, supporting twelve curved
branches and terminating IN as many
metallic boxes filed with iron ore and
inclosed BIZ 3 wooden box-like cover.

rods, the bases Of which found resting
