So per Annum, in advance

freside hard times is the cry every
where, and then it is found how import
ant is agriculture.
The poor dispised farmer is the en-
gineer whose important movement gov
erns and controls the graneries that
feed the millions; let him fail you
and the result is famine in the land.
No man so rich or powerful but he has
to look to the farmer for his daily food.
Let all products of the farm be tied up
for ten days and there would be the big
est panic this world ever knew; let it
be locked up for six months and there
would be a greater famine in the whole
land than Egypt ever dreamed of.
Still the farmer is a nobody but
newer of wood and drawer of water!
But farmers, we must go on, work is our
destiny; we want what our crops will
bring to make our living comfortable.
So let us be up and about it. Our sue
cess depends upon 1t and the man who
or should get it, and deserves it wheth-
er he gets it or not. Therefore let us
make the best efforts we know how to
make.
AS we discussed the question of tree
setting pretty thoroughly in previous
articles we will pass it this time.
SWEET poTATOES
We now urge the making ofclean beds
or planting seed where it is intended to
make the crop. If any new valuable
variety can be introduced it may be
benefit to the consumers.
TOBACCO.
1t is now safe to begin to prepare land
for tobacco. It should be made as rich
as possible, we'll worked, narrowed
smooth, then lay the land off with mark
er very shallow. If ready to set follow
each row, which should be frL m three
to three and one half feet apart, across
the field and with a light hoe make a
small hill by drawing two hoesful of dirt
together, then pat it down with the hoe
every eighteen or twenty inches, in
which to set the plant similar to cab
bage. But never allow the top root to
become crooked up, for if you do the
plant will never do we'll. Pack the dirt
firmly around the root, take the ten
der leaf between the thumb and fore
finger and gently pull; if the leaf breaks
without pulling the plant up, it is we'll
set, but if the plant is pulled up the set
ter has not done his work we'll and must
do better or be at once discharged.
In from two to three months the to-
bacco will be ready to harvest.
Now, as we have gone over all the work
for this month, we will close until next
month, when we will be busy harvesting
and shipping our truck.

Senator Morgan OF Alabama, who left

Senator Morgan of Alabama, who left
New York Saturday for Paris where he
will represent this government in the
Behring sea controversy, said in rela-
ton to the Hawaiian question: In
speaking of the Pacific ocean and our
duty in connection with it, l still say
that / do not want to see repeated what
was perpetrated when we acquired our
independence. Though the power of
France was back OF US, we did not have
the foresight or persistency to acquire
take in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia,
Bermuda, the Windward isles, Jamaica
and all that territory down to Yucatan.
Why should that power, with So 600 900
people of the same race as our 65, ,000, 900
people, and with no greater history and
no superiority, own all those islands
from Newfoundland to Yucatan, upon
which they have spent "a for every inch
of ground they now hold, and we cannot
help it? Great Britain never gives up
anything good. 1 am not criticising
them. 1 admire them and wish Amer
lea to follow as far as possible the same
policy, only little more go. "Great
Britain has already placed herself in
Australia and New Zealand, and is now
approaching the Sandwich islands, that
Gibraltar of the Pacific ocean. She al
ready has one. Only short time ago
she raised her flag over one of the is-
lands, and at the present moment the
Hawaiian and Our own government are
protesting against that occupation.
When she gets firmly established there
and completes the chain around US, in
Guiding Vancouver, Victoria and Hawaii
to Hong Kong, New Zealand and Aus
tralia, let me ask you if we will not see
despicable folly which was perpetrated
in the Atlantic, when we had gained the
fight, and there was nothing to do but to
put the islands of the Atlantic in the bill
of sale treaty, which we 80 signally failed
to do? Just at the time when the two
great questions, the Nicaraguan canal
and the Behring sea arbitration are
pending, Hawaii, like ripe pear, drops
into our lap. Shall we not then exercise
at this time in the settlement of these
great questions that spirit of American
manhood and pluck so splendidly de-
yeloped when we were fighting each
other, with l 200, 900 men in the field?
Now we shall see the outcome of the
power and spirit of great people on
great occasion. Let US move to the
'front.'"

A Cordial Reception.

Early one morning. recently, called
to see gentleman who had not yet left
his bed L was met at the door by a
woman whose sleeves were. rolled up,
who wore an ample apron upon which
were various spots of flour and whose
face was not entirely free from similar
spots. 1t was "bake day." but she did
not embarrass me by any reference to
the fact or any apology as to her appear
ance. She asked me into the parlor and
after sending one of the children up
stairs to notify the father of my pres
ence, re-entered the parlor and chatted
until her husband appeared about vari-
Gus topics in an entertaining, easy man
ner, quite as though she had been ex-
pecting and was all fixed up to receive
me. 1t was simply delightful and my
great grief is that have no sufficient
excuse to make another early morning
call at the same home.-Detroit Free

The Portland Welcome looks at it this
way: "The repeal of the indebtedness
clause subjects to assessment nearly
$l7, ,OoO, 900 worth of property owned by
millionaires and heretofore non assessa-
BILE. This enormous sum, even at two
per cent, will furnish $40, 900 annually.
In the past people of Multnomah county
have been robbed of this amount, now
the capitalists will have to pay for pro-
lection like common people," And
what is true of Multnomah is true, pro-
portionately, in every county of Oregon.

DR.. Charles Page says in an article in
the Arena that the prevailing treatment
of typhoid fever by drugs, and feeding
the patient, is like the playing OF, a
stream of petroleum ON burning build
ing. The patient should fast until the
crisis is past, and, next to fasting, DIR.
Page recommends frequent cold-water
baths. The water should be about 65
degrees, and the bath given when the
temperature of the patient is from 1Ol to
l03. Rubbing is also an essential part
of the treatment during the bath, which
should continue fifteen or twenty min
utes. The system has been adopted
with excellent results in the hospitals
of Philadelphia and Baltimore.

The president has issued a procla-
nation convening an extra session of the
senate March 4. This action is probably
taken at the instance or with the con-
sent of President Cleveland. The pro-
clamation is as follows: The public in
terests require that the senate should be
convened at IL o'clock on the 4th day of
March next to receive such communica-
tions as may be made by the executive.
Now therefore 1, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States, do hereby
proclaim and declare extraordinary oc-
casion requires the senate of the United
States, to convene at the capitol, in the
city Of Washington, the 4th of March
next, at II o'clock noon, of Wh ch q l
persons who shall at that time be en-
titled to act as members of thst body are
hereby required to take notice. Given
under my hand, etc. This is the usual
course pursued at the outgoing of an ad-
ministration. so as to enable the senate
TO advise and consent to the cabinet
selection by the incoming president. 1t
is also customary at the same session to
send in the names of those selected for
the most important foreign posts and
the leading offices at home

A wav OF cookine Rodents.

The negro slaves of Jamaica used to
regard rats as dainty, their masters
not providing them with any other meat.
Their method of cooking the toothsone
rodents was to impale each one on a
long wooden skewer, after cleaning the
animal and cutting off the tail, turning
it brislxly around over fire until the
hair was all burned off. Then it was
scraped until free from fur, and finally
the end of the skewer was stuck into the
ground. inclined toward the fire, until
it was toasted dry and crisp, thus being
made ready for the meal. Washington

The Little White House" contains on
the first floor the dining room, parlor,
Mr.. Cleveland's study and the kitchen,
with its connecting pantries. The sec
ond floor is divided up into five bedrooms
and bath
The cottage faces the south. A large
piazza, which has been transformed into
a sunroom by being inclosed with glass,
extends along the entire front and about
two-thirds of the length Of the eastern
side of the building A hall practically
bisects the first floor. To the right as
one enters is the dining room. Opposite
is the parlor. TIE dining room is con-
nected with the Kitchen and the main
hall, while the parlor opens into Mr.
Clevelands study n the northwestern
corner of the cottage. The study has a
door opening into ,l.e hall, by means Of
which the president elect may escape
to the upper regions without passing
through the parlor.
A stairway leads from the main hall
to the second hooi. The bedroom of
Mr.. and Mrs. Cleveland is directly above
the dining room. Little Ruth's is over
the kitchen, and her nurses is above the
pantry. The baby's apartment connects
with her nurses ON the east and her par
ents' on the south. The servants will
sleep in a separate building, Mr.. Cleve-
lands valet, Sinclair, being the only ex-
ception. He will have the room in the
cupola Of the cottage.
The house is nicely but not gorgeously
furnished, the paper ON the walls is rich,
but quiet, and there is no attempt at
style. Electric light for building and
grounds is supplied by hotel near by.
The Little White House" is about a
half mile distant from the Lakewood

One of the most remarkable discoveries
10 the shape of peculiar species Of fish
ever made on this continent was that made
at Carson City, New, in 1876. At that time
both the Hale a. Norcross and the Savage
mines were down to what is known as the
''2, 20O-foot level" When at that depth a
subterranean lake Of boiling water was
tapped. This accident flooded both mines
to depth Of 400 feet. After this water had
all been pumped out except that which had
gathered in basins and in the inaccessible
portions Of the works, and when the water
still had temperature Of 12S degs.-nearly
scalding hot-many queer looking little
blood red fish were taken out. In appear
ance they somewhat resembled the goldfish
They seemed lively aud sportive enough
when they were in their native element
boiling notwithstanding the fact
that they did not even have rudimentary
eyes. When the fish were taken out Of the
hot water aud put into buckets Of cold wa
ter for the purpose of being transported 10
the surface, they died as quickly as a perch
or bass would If plunged into kettle Of
water that was scalding hot; not only this,
but the skin peeled off exactly as II 1t had
been boiled.
Eyeless fish are common enough In all
subterranean lakes and rivers, but this is
the only case on record of living fish being
found in boiling water-St Louis Repub-

WHAT A WOMAN SAYS.

When woman's will is thwarted
She will toss her pretty head,
She will close her lips quite tightly,
While her cheeks get flaming red.
And, though her breast be surging
With the pride that's struggling therN
She never fails to tell herself,
"oh, really don't care"
II do not care" she argues
With a culver of the lips
And a feeling in the throat
That most uncomfortably grips.
She shrugs her dainty shoulders
And assumes a reckless air
why, what goose ami" she says;
"Of course do not carel"
II do not care" she reasserts,
But surely there appears
A moisture on her lashes
That's suspiciously like tears.
The corners of her mouth grow weak,
Her breast Is heaving, too;

claim they are Judging of Rathbone's
mission more by his actions than by his
words. Some Importance is also at
tached to the visit of Russell Harrison
here last week. Rathbone made
denial to the reporters yesterday, and
tonight furnishes the following to the
Associated Press:
II believe that the story that there is
an organization for the purpose of
booming Mr.. Harrison for president In
1896 comes from some person, or per-
sons, who begin to think that Mr.. Har-
rlSon will prove to be a formidable can
didate should he conclude to let his
name go before the convention next
time. Their evident purpose is to kill
him off. do not believe there is any
booming organization in existence, and
l am certain that am not at the head
of any such movement, or in any way
connected with it. Recent el entS tend
to bring Mr.. Harrison out in striking
contrast to the present administration,
and may he cause for alarm on the
part of those who may desire some other
candidate for the presidency"
