GARDEN AND ORCHARD.

Potatoes keep best if stored in a dark
place.
1t often pays to change seed, even in
the garden.
Sclons can be cut 1T any time now and
stored in the cellar.
Even in the winter it is not a good
plan to allow horses and cattle in a
young orchard.
So long as the ground is not frozen
hard it is not too late to set out , Dung
| trees.
Nearly all kinds of hard nuts should
he planted in the fall or winter before
the ground freezes.
One of the advantages in beginning to
prune early is that there will be less me-
cessity for much pruning later, and es-
p~ecially of removing large limbs.
B~lackberrics ,raspberrics, currents and
g~ooseberries should be pruned by cutting
ont aud removing all the old wood.

burned. Under ordinary conditions less
watering is needed if the trees are set
out in the fall than if the planting is de-
layel until spring, but the tree must
withstand the thawing and freezing.
Dust is one of the worst difficulties TO
contend with in keeping house plants
during the winter. If they cannot be
thoroughly protected TIE foliage must be
washed off carefully every week or ten
days.

BaIlOoning As a Sport.

Ballooning should be encouraged as
a recreation. As there is little bal
looming done in this country very few
know anything of this charming ex-
perience, and nearly all have an exag-
gerated idea of its danger. In Europe,
and especially in Paris, free balloon
ascents are quite often made, and as
natural result the Frenchmen make
good balloons. Ballooning is not
more expensive than yachting, and to
my mind it is much more interesting.
A good silk balloon with a capacity for
two people-say one holding $4,000
cubic feet of gas-costs in France $500
or $780, Here it would cost rather
more. The gas is cheaper there also.
but if one has good balloon and does
his own work the whole expense of
ballooning here ought not to average
over 800 for each ascent. With lit
tie previous study and the practical ex-
perience of few trips one can man
age his own balloon. Under ordinary
circumstances two persons make the
best number for an ascent. A balloon
club, having a fleet of well constructed
balloons, could have excursions and
races on the same plan as that of
yachting and canoeing. 1t is an art
or recreation that has been neglected.
At all events it has been left mostly to
professionals, who indulge in its most
risky features and give it the name of
being a very dangerous sport, which it
need not have.-ForeSt and Stream.

Famous HOaxeS.

There is one feature of American
humor entirely distinct from any
characteristic of which / have hitherto
written. Hoaxing of the too credulous
reading public has been nowhere so
successfully practised as in this country.
Richard Adams Locke, a mild-man-
nered editor, soberly proclaimed, in
the summer of 1885, that Sir John
Herschel, of astronomical fame, had
made astonishing discoveries at the
Cape of Good Hope with new forty
two-thousand-power magnifier of the
moon. Locke was minutely scientific
and attractively vivid in his descrip-
tions of lunar formations of basaltic
rock covered with dark red fiowers),
water, trees, plants, volcanoes, birds,
animals, and life's higher orders. Tins
narrative appeared in the New York
San. The subsequently published
pamphlet is nowadays harder to grasp
than at that period the mountains and
fountains of nights queenly silver orb
seemed to be. Since Locke's time

A Member Who Saw It.

In the Wisconsin Legislature of
three or four years ago there was a
certain member who had been elected
by the grangers with the understanding
that he should vote against anything
which partook of the nature of mon
opolv, trust, or combine. and favor
everything which didn't. Certain
parties wanted to dam a certain
stream, and certain other parties were
bitterly opposed to it. Each had its
lobbyist, and the opposition got hold
of the granger member first. They
stuffed him full of figures as to acreage
of land which must be overfiowed, the
financial loss to farmers, and gave in
an estimate that the slack water
would increase the death rate along the
stream so per cent. When the lobby
ist for the mill dam got the ear of the
member he was ungraciously received.
but proceeded to say:
Il don't deny that our dam will raise
the water and flood some land-per-
haps the two hundred acres claimed.
In Summer time the slack water may
also add a trife to the sick list; but, sir,
what inspires the opposition?"
Public spirit for public good, l be-
lieve.''
Does it? Have they made you be-
ieve any such nonsense as that? Can't
you see through the gauze which wells
their eforts?"
''1s there any-any trickery herep"
rs there? Dead loads of it, sir, and
wonder you haven't discovered it.
These parties own a big cat-tail swamp
half a mile above where the dam is
to be. Our water will cover the swamp.
They have discovered way to mix
cat-tail fuzz and geese feathers together
to make feather beds, patented the idea,
and propose to bull the market and run
one-half the geese of America out of the
country"
Mop
That's the scheme; and even while
keeping it as quiet as thev could.
enough has leaked out to boost the
price of goose oil 80 per cent"
''Why, it's monopoly!"
That's what it is-the biggest kind
of a monopoly-a corporation without
soul. Why, you can't buy a goose
bone now for less than 25 cents, and
quill tooth-picks will soon be nickel
apiece!"
Il see-I see. The scoundrelsl Well,
you shall have my vote and influence,
and thank you for setting me right.
l might have played into their hands
the wretches!"
And he not only voted for the bill,
but worked for it and secured its pass
age, and the opposition could never get
his ear for any denials OF explanations.

Too Late.

With silence we keep year after year
With those who are most near to us and dear.
We live beside each other day by day
And speak of myriad things. but seldom say
The full sweet word that lies just in our reach,
Beneath the commonplace of common speech.
Then out of sight and out of reach they go
These close, familiar friends who loved us so;
And sitting in the shadow they have left,
Alone with loneliness and sore bereft.
We think with vain regret of some fond word
That once we might have said and they have
heard
For weak and poor the love that we expressed
Now seems beside the vast sweet unconfessed;
And slight the deeds we did to those undone,
And small the service spent to treasure won,
And undeServed the praise for word and deed,
That should have over1owed the simple need
This is the cruel cross of life to be
Full-visioned only when the ministry
Of death has been fulfilled, and in the place
Of some dear presence is but empty space.
What recollected services can then
Give consolation for the might have beenY'

Give Children Plenty of Water.

For the reasons given, 1 advocate
under all conditions plentiful addi-
ton of water to children's food. In
this connection l would lay stress
upon the fact that, as rule, small
children receive water only as they get
it in their milk or milk food, alike in
summer and in winter. 1t is proba-
BILE that the fact seldom occurs to a
mother or nurse that child may be
thirsty without being hungry at the
same time. Certainly many discom-
fort and even sickness in child is con-
ditioned upon the fact that it has been
compelled to eat in order to get its
thirst satisfied, and often has to suffer
thirst because the overstimulated and
injured stomach will take no more
nourishment at irregular and too short
intervals. Of Pediatries,

Arkansas Pass Pickings.

Freight business is reported to have
never been better. During the last
three days an average of go loaded
cars have been handled daily, neces-
stating fifteen trains.
General Superintendent G. A. Mer-
Ram left on Monday in his private
car, for Houston. He will make a
general tour of inspection of the road
returning here Saturday evening.
The work on the Waco extension is
being rapidly pushed to completion.
The station at Cameron, in Milan
county, will be completed and opened
to traffic on the 1st of February. The
road is bending all its energies toward
the completion of this branch, work
on all others beng suspended Until
this is finished. 1t is expected to
reach Waco by March 90.
A temporary wooden structure, to
be superseded by substantial iron
bridge, has been built over the Lavaca
river, in place of the one lost by the
flood, which caused the recent wreck.
The engine of the wrecked train has
been lifted out, and is now in the
shops undergoing repairs, to be out in
about three weeks. All the wood
work of the cars is lost, but the trucks
have been recovered. A ii freight that
was on the Inflated train has been re-
covered, except some 800 cans of oil.
Besides this and the ear boxes and
the work and repairs attendant on
such catastrOphes, there has been no
material loss.
