The grain growing areas OF the coun-

An Old Time Editor.

A legal friend reminds me of old
Colonel Rogers, who published the Bos-
ton Journal before the war. He was
terribly conservative, and his paper was
delivered almost entirely to annual sub
scribers, although few copies were on
sale at the book stores. One day when
the colonel came down town he was hor-
rified to see boy with some Journals
under his arm shouting out, journal,
4 cents; Journalv' Dazed for minute,
he called the boy into a doorway and
asked, GLOW many Journals have you
there?' Told, he took out his purse and
paid for them all, and ordered the boy
to run home and never to buy any Jour
mails again. He was so scandalized by
the occurrence that he said he felt al
most ashamed to meet his business ac-
quaintances for weeks. Times changed
when the war broke out, and the Jour
nal went on the street like other papers.

Time for Early Garden Work.

Tree and vine pruning should be com
pleted before growth commences. Peas
for an early crop need to be got in as
early as the ground can be worked. The
wrinkled, or sugar peas, should be held
until the ground warns little. Those
intending to raise onions by the new
plan of starting the seeds in cold frames
should have everything in readiness and
get the seed in early, and have the young
plants in readiness to set out as soon as
the ground can be put in good order.
The advantages claimed by this method
are full rows, a longer season of growth
and less expense in cultivating and keep
ing clean, the expense saved in the last
item making up for the extra cost of
transplanting. A much greater yield is
claimed for the method But no time is
to be lost in preparing the soil for onion
seed to be sowed in the rows where the
crop is to grow. The preparation and
sowing cannot be done too soon. The
seeds of lettuce and early cabbage,
caulihower, celery, tomatoes and radish
will need sowing at intervals as required,
and the hotbeds and the forcing pits
will command daily care.
Seeds of biennial and Parental flower
ing plants can be put in at once. Sweet
peas in the open ground should be plant
ed at the earliest opportunity; they
should make their best growth in the
cooler weather of the spring.
Lawns can be seeded to grass as soon
as the ground can be properly put in
order.
All kinds of work that can be done in
the garden should be pushed along and
be out of the way when the hurrying
time comes later, as it surely will

A rias, from AN Electric Car.

Richard III. Earle, the insurance agent
who lives in Worthington street, had
peculiar and rather startling experience
with electricity early one evening re-
Gently through the medium Of the cleo
trio cars. He was crossing Main street
Just below State street, where the Forest
park line ends, and happened to pass the
rear Of an electric car just as il started
OH its southwark trip. lie went very
close to the car, perhaps within foot,
he thinks, and as he went by there came
from beneath the car flash rs of light
ming, which seemed to start from the
wheels and strike him on the left side
under the arm. No harm seemed to
have been done, and Mr.. Earle contin-
ued on his way.
Just rs he turned down Howard street
to go to the house of an acquaintance,
Carl Wunsch, he felt n pain in his side
as if he was being roughly rubbed.
When he reached Mr.. Wunsch's house
the latter exclaimed that something was
burning, and on Mr.. Earle's unbutton-
lug his overcoat smoke and flame came
out. and it took lively work on the part
of Mr.. and Mrs. Wunsch and Mr.. Earle
to save the clothing. On examination it
was found that the overcoat and under
coat had been burned through from the
outside, and also the vest as far as the
lining. The hole in the overcoat is two
or three inches wide and four or five
inches long A leather book in the IN
dercoat containing some papers was bad
ly burned on the lower end and the pa
pers therein were scorched.
Mr. Earle thinks there is no doubt that
the mischief was caused by the spark
from the electric car, and no other solu-
tion of the matter seems possible, since
Mr.. Earle does not smoke, and the burns
in the clothing ere not of the sort to be
started from such source. The street
railway tracks were very wet that night,
and this of itself would tend TO dissipate
the electric fluid as it entered the rails.
Taken altogether, Mr.. Earle's experience
was certainly singular one.-Spring-
field Republican.
