About a national Flower.

There is very little use in talking about
an American national flower. We are
not nation, no matter how many big
Ms we may put to the word, in the sense
that Englishmen and Frenchmen consti-
tute nation. What is typical in one
section of our continental republic is
not typical in another, and an emblem
which might mean great deal in New
England or New York would have but
an artificial significance in Louisiana or
California. State flowers we might
have, and to some extent we do have
them. California has formally adopted
the Eschscholtzia, or California poppy,
as its emblem. Maine men wear pine
branch when they want to indicate what
state they have come from.
Our Massachusetts flower is naturally
the trailing arbutus, and that ought to
be formally adopted as our emblem. At
the Grand Army encampment nearly
every state delegation wore something
which was Characteristic of the state.
We comprehend ourselves better if we
divide ourselves up by forty-four, and
there are enough plants and flowers to
go around.-Boston Transcript.

A Mixed Up AFFAIR.

Recently ON the Marietta and North
Georgia railroad train ran over and
killed COW near Thompson, Tenn. a
day or two afterward, when the train
passed through, an officer arrested the
engineer and took him before justice
Of the peace, where he was tried fox
cruelty to animals. The passenger train
was held four hours, during which time
the mails were delayed. It seems that
the prosecutors have gotten themselves
in bad fix.
Warrants have been issued by judge
for the arrest of the justice Of the peace,
the officer who made the arrest, the
sheriff and the lawyer for contempt of
court, as the road is in the hands of a
receiver and permission must be secured
to sue the road. The superintendent Of
the mail service is also after them.-

Eight Thousand Flowers on the Table.

Eight Thousand Flowers on the Table.
1t must take nearly half an acre of
glass to cover the flowers of the White
House conservatory. 1t keeps two men
busy all the time to take care of it, and
the finest of all kinds of flowers from
orchids to roses are in bloom here. There
are broad india rubber plants which
are worth from $50 to 800 apiece, and
there are some flowers which are abso-
lutely worth their weight in gold. On
the night of White House dinner or
reception the whole mansion is deco
rated with flowers, and at one state
dinner not long ago there was a floral
piece on the table which used 5000 flow-
ers in its making.
At dinner to the supreme court 1900
flowers were used to make temple of
justice, and at the last diplomatic recep-
ton the mantels OF the parlors were
banked up with flowers, and at another
time they were covered up with i'm
mense double tulips rising out Of banks

sHang Your Clothes on Hickory Limb"
After the rather unsatisfactory ex-
perience of last season the district COM
missioners have decided to experiment
further with the free bathing beach,
This time, however, there is to be no
risk Of life, provided the plans of the
commissioners are successful. Last sea-
son the beach was open to all comers,
but in the future none but experienced
swimmers will be allowed to enjoy the
privilege. With this end in view the
commissioners have, through their sec
retary, DIR. Tindall, addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the superin-
tendent of the beach:
"The commissioners direct me to mo-
hfy you to permit persons who can swim
to use the public bathing beach till
otherwise notified. You will not permit
any one to use the beach unless satisfied
by personal observation that he can
SWIM"
A perusal of this order will show that
the commissioners have imposed rather
complicated and important duty on Su-
perintendent Stevens. By strict COM
pliance with the order no candidate for
cleanliness will be allowed to enter the
water unless he can swim, and the su-
perintendent is first to determine ones
ability In that direction by personal
observation Just how Superintendent
Stevens is to separate the experts from
the raw recruits by mere personal OBJ
servation" is rather difficult to under
stand, unless he should subject sppli-
cants to an exhibition of their natatory

Lutx, late prime minister Of the king Of
Bavaria, was much addicted to shroud-

seriously hurt both his legs on one occa-

each Of his injured limbs. The one who
treated the right leg was totally un-
aware that fellow practitioner had
been called in for the left one, and vice
versa.

DRAINAGE PIPES.
What Prof chsmberIain Considers

What Prof Chamberlain Considers the
Best Mode of Draining.
The best material for drain pipe is
round or cylindrical tile, without col
lars or joints. AS to the merits of soft
and hard Tor glazed tiles, there is but
very little difference. The latter are
not so likely to crack and fake where
exposed to the frost, as at outlets. The
water goes in through the joints, and
not through pores of the tile as some
suppose. Each tile should be rejected
that does not show clear red color
and give a metallic ring when struck
with hammer. Most authorities have
advised them too small The tendency
in this country is now toward larger
tiles, and that is simply because they
are needed. Even the two-inch tiles are
becoming scarce. The tiles used should
be large enough not only to carry off
all extra water in short time-aud
the sooner the better-but also to pro-
vide Cor cases of emergency. For sizes
from three TO six inches and grades less
than three feet to the hundred, good
rule for finding the number of acres
ameter and divide by four. For exam
pie, for every 500 feet: A 3-inch pipe
will drain "a acres; a finch main will
drain 4 acres; a 5-inch main will drain
81 acres; a 6-inch main will drain 9
acres. For sleeper grades than three
feet to the hundred, it may be di-
yided by three. Have the mains
large enough to take the water
AS fast as the soil can filter it and the
laterals collect it. A depth of four feet
may do very well for the deep loamy
soil of the western prairie, but for the
compact clayey soil of Ohio depth Of
~ feet is quite sufficient. Where the
tiles are placed shallow the drains can
be closer together The minimum
depth should be two feet. But it must
be remembered that the filtration is
less, and the consequent loss of manure
or fertilizing material greater. For
horticultural purposes they should be
25 feet, and in loamy soil they may be
four or five rods apart. Hand work,
with hand tools. is decidedly best. The
first implement to use is a two horse
plow. First cut deep with the plow, in
the fall; then the light SHOWS will pre-
vent freezing. Thus the workman may
keep busy nearly all winter, and the
ditch may be worked while the surface
of the ground is frozen. If ditching is
done in the winter the work should be
commenced at the outlet and continued
back upward. The same process should
be observed at any time when the
ground is saturated with water and it
Is ready to run off through the ditch.
But in commencing at the lower end to
place the tile, great caution should be
observed in keeping mud or dirt from
passing into the drain. and each ev~n-
ing it should be well stopped at its
upper end with bunch of grass or
hay.-From lecture by w. l. Cham er-
lain, before a meeting at the Ohio State
University.

FATTENING SWINE.
The Importance of Encouraging Appetite
and Digestion.

The Importance of Encouraging Appetite
and Digestion.
The hog fattens quickly, more quick
~ than other animals, but it requires
. corresponding amount OF food to COM
Plete the process. Mr.. A. Sells thinks
that quick and cheap fattening de-
ponds greatly upon the health and
age of hogs. Within limits we do not
believe this. The hog will fatten Just
as quickly and cheaply the second year
rs 1t will the first On account of the
rapid digestion, hogs cannot assimiIate
all the nourishment from the dry food,
and this should be prepared in such
manner as to make loss as little as pos
sible, either cooked or bruised To
feed the hogs until all parts have
changed to fat Mr. Sells very wisely
does not consider profitable, for the
fatter they grow, the slower they in
crease in weight. To begin the fatten-
ing with rich food from the start is 4
wasting. Corn or peas should he left
for the latter part of that process. Some
rules have to be observed in fattening
to insure success. The best rule is to
have one food succeeded by one moro
nourishing, and when the appetite be-
gins to diminish, to feed less in guam
tity but more in quality.
The time for feeding should be kept
as regular as possible, else the hogs
grow restless. The pen also ought to
be kept somewhat dark, and provided
with dry bedding. AS much as the
breeding animals need exercise for
their prosperity, the hogs for fattening
need rest and quietness An old PROV
erb correctly states i; thus: REST and
quietness is half of the fattening" We
have quoted from the gentleman above
named. The idea of a dark pen is
new one TO US, and we are hardly pre-
pared to adopt it.
To encourage appetite and digestion
he gives daily some salt and ashes and
anthony, which he should not do. at
least SO far as the anthony is con-
cerned.
Always try 70 raise the best and what
the market calls for. Raise hogs when
they are cheap so you will have some
for sale when they are dear. With
little care and when well provided with
proper food, shelter and pasture. in or
der to give them exercise. hog-raising
is no trick at all, and it is almost as
easy to raise litter of pigs as il is to
