Only very recently has it been found

for their productiveness upon bacteria.
These microscopic organisms enter
their roots and form upon them wart-

OF pod bearing plant has its own spe-
cles of bacteria to serve it in this fash

SIGNS OF RAIN.

II knew It would rain" said the farmers girl
~ hen looked at the morning glOries,
OF their bells have been open the whole day
long,
And they're flowers that tell no stories"
Il knew 1t would rain," said the farmers boy,
- because OF the carS-I could hear them,
Though so far away they rolled over the rails
AS plainly as II | was near them"
II knew 1t would rain," said the farmers wife,
or the sound OF the wind was so hollow,
And when the winds moaning and signing
that way.
Why, rain storm is sure to follow"
II knew it would rain," said the farmer him
self,
"For this reason-the old barnyard pump Is
so damp that to-day 1t was not prlmed at ALL
And It's centrally dry as stump is
Il knew 1t would rain" said the good grand
mamma,
"Whed / saw our old tabby cat playing.
For when cats at her age like their own kittens
Look out for wet weather, I'm saying"
Ana SO when the rain Just at twilight came
down,
And the Wind, with splash and dash threw
it
'Gainst the doors and the windows, each sign
was recalled,
And every one said, There / knew IT."

The experiments made at Cornell
University and in France to ascertain
the effect of the electric light upon
vegetation have demonstrated It's
wonderful property of greatly stimu-
lating almost every variety of vegetable
life. The colors of flowers are intensi
fed, and an increased yield of fruits
and vegetables of nearly 100 per cent
has been obtained without diminishing
the odor of the former or the flavor OF
the latter.
Washington himself had been a
striking instance of precocity in the
public service. for he was appointed
adjutaLt-general of the Virginia troops
at nineteen, at twenty four received
the chief command of the Virginia
forces, and was bdt forty-three when
he took command of the American
Army at Cambridge.

History Will Repeat Itself.

If you remember the birth of the Re-
publican party you will recall that it
took us four years to elect candidate.
In 1856 Republican vote large enough
to brighten the people was polled, and in
1860 we were victorious. We had war
in the end, but we elected our man. |
do not think we will have another war
but some fierce political battles remain
to be fought.
The Republican party grew naturally
out of certain conditions. This has been
the history of every great party. We
do not expect to turn the country upside
down, but we believe firmly that in the
course of few years the great masses
of the people will accept the doctrines
of us who are now pioneers, and the end
will be complete revolution in our
financial and economical methods. Sen
ator PETER.
