Old Friends.

There are no friends like old friends,
And none 30 good and true;
We greet them when we meet them,
Al roses greet the dew;
No other friends are dearer,
Though born of kindred mould;
And while we prize the new ones,
We treasure more the old.
There are no friends like old friendA
To help us with the load
That all must bear who journey
Ger life's uneven road;
And when unconquered sorrows
The weary hours invest
The kindly words of old friends
Are always found the best.
There are no friends like old friends,
Where'er we dwell and roam;--
In lands beyond the ocean,
Or near the bounds of home;
And when they smile to gladden.,
Or sometimes frown to guide,
We fondly wish those old friends
Were always by our side.
There are no friends like old friends,
To calm our frequent fears,
When shadows fall and deepen
Through life's declining years;
And when our faltering footsteps
Approach the Great Divine,
Wen long 70 meet the old friends
Who wait the other side.

GROWTH OF CALAIS.

Whilst there seem to be differences
of opinion as to whether it is wisest to
plant out callas in the spring for the
making of good summer growth, OF
to retain the plants in pots, find,
writes correspondent, very many
growers adopt the plan of keeping all
their stoutest ones in pots, only turn
ing them out at the proper season, re-
moving side shoots, rubbing down the
balls of soil, and repotting in so
small ones as well can be at the first,
keeping them in the pots all the sum-
mer, and pushing them along by
housing early for the production of
early flowers. In many cases fur
ther shift into rather larger pots be-
comes needful during the summer.
The market growers regard this as
the best course where callas have to be
forced.
That the weaker or smaller stems or
oh'hoots WHCu II dteSu out INV hiShiy
msnured ground do relatively make
tho strongest growth there can be no
doubt, but as these, even if the stems
and LEAKAGE have become ever so stout,
still being newly potted in the autumn
are less fitted to stand early forcing
than are those which have beon kept
in the pots all the season. 1t is very
important, however, especially that
caIas are of a semi-aquatic nature,
that very ample waterings be given,
especially 70 pot plants, and also that
the pots stand OH bed of ashes
or cocoa fiber refuse. Liquid manures
are Of more service to pot plants where
the roots are densely crowded than to
plants out doors where, because of
ample manure and root room. the
chief want in hot weather is plenty of
moisture. 1t seems absolutely inn
probable, come yellow or any other
color, that the cultivation of the white
variety will ever be materially les
sencd. -[Chicago Times.

Electric Heating.

Electricity generated for heating or
for any other purpose must be pro-
duced at the cost of the expenditure
of some other form of energy, such
as the burning of coal or the force of
falling water. Al the latter form of
power is hardly available for use in
New York, it follows that if electric
heating is to become commercial
commercial phase of life IN that city
current will be supplied to consumers
from central stations in which coal is
burned under the boilers, precisely
similar TO existing plants for the sup
ply of light and power. The CONVEX
sion and transmission of heat by this
process is not economical, and current
from coal burning stations in sufficient
quantities for heating could only be
used by tho wealthy, to whom its con-
ycmcncc and cleanliness would COM
mend it. 1t is apparent, however,
that the 'coal barons" would have
nearly as much TO say about the sup
D.y of fuel to such stations as to in.
dividual consumers at present, al.
though it is probable that the mere
cost of coal and labor would be pro-
portionatcly reduced by the use of
cheaper grades of fuel and by central
ization. Doubtless electric heating
has great future, but at present it
seems to be principally available in
Localities where water power can be
utilized in the prime movers. .-CWest.

Says the New York Sun: One of
the greatest authorities on coal, Herr
Nasse, the o1ficiai mining expert Of
Prussia, has jast published the result
of his long Investigations as to the
probable dnraiion of the coal strata of
the world. He believes that the next
five or six centuries will exhaust the
coal of Europe; that tho supply of
Austria Hungary, France and Belgi-
um will be ihe frs, to give out; that
the coal mines of Great Britain will
be exhausted next, and finally those
of Germany. Herr Nasse does not be-
lieve the American product will out
last that of Europe. There are, how
ever, sources of supply which do not
enter into these calculations, and may
exc out the worlds coal resources for
some centuries longer. Coal is found
in many of The newer parts of the
world. Recent discoveries encourage
the belief that other finds of import
ance may be made as exploration
goes on.

The plan to reclaim part of the
Mojavo desert of California is not so
chimerIcal, argues the New York
Tribune, as one might fancy who re-
members only the desolate waste that
stretches away to the horizon on each
side of the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road from the Needles to Mojave. All
that this land needs is water, as has
been proved on numerous oases that
form the fringe of the Mojave and
Colorado deserts. The building of
storage dams in the neighboring
mountain canyons will furnish ample
water to irrigatc a quarter of mil
lion acres. The desert soil is rich,
and when water lie used vegetation
grows as it does in the Nile valley.

HOW TO KILL THE APHIs.

The most troublesome insect, vet
the one easiest to destroy. is the aphis;
1t is readily killed by immersing the
entire top of the plant in warm
tobacco water, easily made by stepping
tobacco stems in boiling water until
the water is the color of rather weak
coffee. Use it about as warm as one
can bear his hand in. BY placing the
hands over the top of the pot, with
the plant between the fingers, and in
verting the plant and dipping the foli-
age in buckctful Of the liquid and
Immediately out again, the insects are
instantly killed and no injury done to
the plant, even if the water is too hot
to put the hand in.
A few minutes after they have been
so submerged the plants should be
syringed with clear water to wash off
the tobacco stain. This operation
should also be performed in the even-
ing. If the plants are exposed to sun
shine soon after they have been
treated the foliage is apt to be injured
and become brown and spotted. This
treatment leaves no offensive odor
around the plants or in the room, as
fumigating with tobacco does.
If these few directions are fol-
lowed, remembering that all plants
need all the light and sunshine ii is
possible to give them in the house,
plants can be grown quite satisfac-
torily. Remember to select the plants
that succeed best in the house, and al
SO remember that roses are among the
most difficult to manage either in
house or greenhouse. [Chicago News

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.


Onion seed is scarce, and its price
will come high.
Some day feeders will injure beeves
partly with molasses.
The spinach bed, through cold
weather, is grateful for covering of
cornstalsk.
Best results are gotten from the soil
when deep-rooted crops are followed
by shallow roots.
Cover the bit with leather, or in
any case be sure to take the frost out
of it before putting it in the horses
mouth.
Where slugs are troublesome uso
cut potatoes for bait, and at night look
for them with lantern and destroy
with salt.
An allowance Of wheat bran and
oats each day to the growing colts will
more than pay in their growth and
development.
In breeding look carefully to the
predominating characteristics of the
sire and dam, as 1t does not pay "
breed colts with naturally bad teH
pers.

detachment of cavalry from Fort
Steele. Lieut. French, as brave q
man as ever wore the uniform, as
sumed command Of all when the civil
ians were overtaken.
In just a week-and it was an .ex-
citing season-the pursuing party
landed on Flotow in camp at evening.
The reds were in wild and isolated
mountain ravine. and had neglected
to place sentries. Though surprised,
the Indians made a gallant fight, but
the assaulting force was the stronger
in numbers and was simply determined
to win.
A full score of dead and dying In.
dians soon lay within fifty yards of
the central tepee. Great was the de-
light Of both citizens and soldiers to
find Flotow just recovering from the
shock caused by bullet which had
grazed his side. In ten minutes he
was all right physically, but his men-
tai distress was deep. His chagrin
threw him into silent rage. He
only glared at his captors and held
his tongue. Flotow was made a pri-
soner of war. He was allowed to ride
his own pony, and had an escort of
four men.
At night, after the first days home
ward march, the captive chief was
given place and blanket beside the
campfire. His guard was six citizens
and an equal number of regulars.
Lieut.. French made the squad quite
speech. He said it was beneath the
dignity of an American soldier 10
maltreat a captive foe. Abuse of
Flotow would result in discipline of
him who did it. To allow prisoner
to escape was an ineffaceable blot on
the honor of the army.
~ charge you," said the officer. "to
treat the big Injun with all the con.
sideration due prisoner Of war, but
if he makes move to escape, shoot
him down without hesitation. Re-
member, let there be no escape"
1t was pretty we'll understood among
the men that they were to put Flotow
out of the way before daylight.
About eleven o'clock the camp was
quiet. A fun-loving veteran, who
had been with Grant in the Wilder
ness and who had fought Indians on
Platte, thrust his bayonet in the fire
and let it come to white heat. Flo
tow was sitting with his head between
his knees and doing. The soldier
fished his bayonet from the embers
with couple of twigs, and very care
fully laid it across the sleeping
chiefs feet. In twinkling the steel
sank into the moccasined toes. Flo
tow, with shrek of pain, jumped
high into the air. Five or six shots
broke the stiffness, and the dead body
of a red-skinned fiend fell across the
campfire. The corporal of the guard
reported that the prisoner had made a
wild jump, as though to break for the
bushes. Lieutenant FreDch compli-
mented the men on their watchfulness.
