Westinghouse Denies a Rumor.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 17.-George West
inghouse, Jr, said that the story about the
consolidation of the Westinghouse compa-
ny with the Tomson- Houston company
was an untruth. The only foundation for
the rumor concerning the Toms0n- Hous-
ton company is the recent execution of two
agreements between the two companies re-
lating to certain fundamental patents, the
union of interests on these patents being
of great advantage to both concerns The
relations between the two companies on
patent matters have been friendly, and
there have been conferences on matters OF
this kind Mr.. Westinghouse says that
81 900 shares out of the needed 10, 1000 have
already been subscribed.

There is nothing more attractive in the
early spring than pansy bed. In order
10 secure blossoms early the plants must
have attained proper size under glass;
It is necessary, therefore, to SOW pansy
seed early. ANY long wooden box fitted
into sunny window in a moderately
cold room, but where 1t does not freeze,
will do for a seedbox. Be sure the
earth is rich, well fertilized with thor
oughly rotted compost and woodmold,
and that it is fine and friable, 80 the
tiny seed can easily thrust down their
slender roots in it. Keep the earth mod.
erately moist after sowing the seed, and
in short time the little plants will be
!. UP and growing.
It requires some resolution to thin out
the greater portion Of them in order to
give those that are left sufficient room
to grow, but this must be done without
sparing or all the plants will be weak
lings. Very pretty effects can be pro
duced by raising box Of white or near
ly white pansies for q border, and box
of mixed, dark, velvety ones for the CEN
ter of the bed. These quaint, blotched,
lovely flowers seem more like living
things than any other blossom. "Old
ladies' is the German name for them,
but the English name of pansy from

A chiId.s Sense Of Justice,

Nothing seems to burn into the mem
CRY and heart of child as an undeserved
punishment, however trifling the mat
ter may seem to the adult infiicter. In
some children of the sunny, hopeful
type the wave of indignation and help
less, unspoken protest against unjust
correction passes away, and leaves APP
parently no trace. To other children,
with more sensitive natures or more re-
bellious dispositions, unjust words of re-
proof hndle fires of rage, which s1noul-
der with sullen persistence under the
ashes of seeming forgetfulness, ready to
burst out violently and unexpectedly. If
this seems an overdrawn picture one has
only to think backward at ones own
chilish days, and to recall the time when
careless treatment by an elder first
taught us to be bitter, unforgiving, re-
eentful.
A child's sense of justice is as keen as
his heart is tender, and this is one of the
qualities most necessary to noble char
acter; quality that must be blended
with truth and honor and self-sacriict
to give the right balance to Disposition
which would otherwise work harm. A
child's justice is always tempered witt
mercy to those he loves, and when IN the
home he is justly and tenderly dealt
with he learns little by little that higher
sense of justice toward all with whom
he comes in contact. When his own
small rights are carelessly and continu
ally thrust aside, he, too, learns to play
the brigand, to invent devices to achieve
the might which he has learned makes
right. Harper's Bazaar.

Some months ago Presiding Elder f.
A. Burdick called meeting of all the
Methodist pastors Of the Aberdeen dis
trict in South Dakota, and put before
them the plan of sowing acres of wheat
for the liquidation of the church debts.
The pastors took to the idea, and after
talk with their people found the farmers
would furnish the land and do the work
II the church would furnish the seed.
The general societies of the church,
which have their headquarters in the
east, then took hold Of the matter, and
shortly announced that the money for
the seed should be forthcoming.
The Rev. Mr.. Burdick said: ave hope
to have at least forty acres Of wheat on
every charge in the Aberdeen district,
and on some as many as sixty. As a
matter Of fact the church at Bath has
already started the ball rolling with
sixty acres. The income from this source

BY the way, speaking of Eve, why is
not her name, in its English and Bible
form, bestowed upon more little girlss
Eva is common enough; it is simply the
Latin form of the NAME No doubt
parents often bestow it in this form
without thinking that they are naming
a daughter for the naughty mother of
all mankind, whose ''mortal taste" for
green fruit brought death into the world
and all our woe. But this is an age Of
rehabilitation, and Eve has been pretty
thoroughly rehabilitated in character
herself. A great many really good wo-
men are not so sure but they would have
done just the same as she did under the
same circumstances. But whether OF
not Eve has been indicated or needs

Bestowed upon girl or woman, and

name could be more charming. Boston

AN exchange in speaking of the
manufacture of French cream cheese
says: I" Set the mornings milk in a
jar at temperature of seventy degrees,
and add enough rennet to coagulate it
in two or three hours. Then leave it
twenty to twenty-four hours. After
pouring off the whey, which will gather
on the top of the curd, cut it with a
skinner in slices and lay it in hair
sieve to drain. When this has been
done, cream in quantities to suit may
be added, only there should not be
more cream than that which would rise
from the milk used to make the cheese.
Mix the curd and cream by MASKING
with wooden pestle like a potato
masher into a uniform paste. 1t il
then placed in wicker molds and il
ready for use. 1t will not keep long
unless placed in refrigerator, but is
delicious article of diet and should be
INDUCED in by every farmers family"

Too many farmers are Indifferent to
this matter, because they think the cost
of these institutions does not come out
of them, but out of the national gov
eminent Is not that government sup
piled with funds from the people, and is
there any way for Vermont to evade
paying her share? Many, also, start
out with the notion that science can not
help the farmer. But even these should
not be Indifferent to waste of the pub
lie money. There is no excuse for the
existence of such large number of
these stations, other than the beneficial
work they do,-beneticial, we mean, to
the agriculture of the states where they
are established. AT present it would
seem that our Vermont station is a
"pretty soft thing " in the way of good
salaries, and no more work than its
managers and employees choose to do.
The next legislature should see to this,
and the farmers should see that the
legislature does its duty in this respect
Let the money expended be set against
results, and let the balance be accurately
struck. And let care be taken that the
accounts are not cooked.
