TOMATO GROWING.
Every Plant Should be Started
Indoors and Given Fresh Air
Daily.
Nebraska Farmer

Comparatively few farmers have the
advantage of a green house or even a
hot bed to raise early plants for the
garden. Tomatoes, the most priced
of all vegetables, make too slow
growth for summer use unless they are
started earlier than they can be put in
the open ground. Many think this a
difficult task, but they are of such easy
culture that almost any farmers wife
can raise few plants in the house. A
sufficient number to supply family
can be started in small pan, or even
an old tomato can is large enough to
grow dozen plants.
The seed should be put in by the
Ist of February and placed in South
window. There they will terminate
and make rapid growth if care is
taken to remove them to warm place
during cold nights. In the first warm
spell after the second leaves appear
they should be transplanted to large
dishes, setting them two or three
inches apart, where they can grow
until time to plant in the open ground.
This course is preferable to putting
the seed in large box, for a small
dish is more easily cared for, and
tomatoes need transplanting to make
them grow strong and stalky. Set in
rows and cultivate often with knife.
FRESH AIR NECESSARY.
Care must be taken that they are
not kept too wet, especially through
cold spells, or they may damp off.
Another necessary precaution is to
give the young plants plenty of air
and ''outdoor exercise" or they will
grow too slender. Every pleasant
day should find them out of doors in
sheltered location, and undergoing
toughenlng process to enable them
to withstand the hard winds which
they must inevitably meet later.
Ten days before putting out run a
knife between the rows close to the
plants, cutting the roots somewhat.
This will check the growth of tops
and start new root growth. Roots
should not be long and tapering, but
compact flbrous mass. Such plants
cannot fail to live and will even bear
setting out on sunny days without
cover. Do not be discouraged even
if you have been unsuccessful with
early tomatoes heretofore. Try again.
Plenty of sunshine, plenty of air,
plenty of water in dry weather and
not too much in damp, will insure
plants that will repay the busy house
wife for the care she has given them
and supply the table with an abund-
ance of delicious tomatoes in July
instead of September.

The Chicago Herald, one of the
staunchest Democratic papers in the
country, is delighted at the prospect
of Judge Gresham becoming Secretary
of State, because though he has been
Republican, he has now become a
most valuable acquisition to the Demo-
cratic ranks. 1t says that he is to be
congratulated upon the impression that
he has made upon the Democrat who
is to become President next month,
and that in his Cabinet appointments
SO far Mr.. Cleveland has made no
mistake. The Herald believes that
the presence of Judge Gresham in the
Cabinet will hasten the dissolution of
the party of prejudice and plumber
and exert a prodigious influence in
behalf of universal Democracy and
good Government-Richmond Times.

sometimes slightly naughty society jour
nal, published in New York City, makes
the following announcement:
With the first issue in March Iown Top
les will be permanently enlarged to thir-
ty-two pages. Although it is generally
conceded that already this journal had
become the most complete, varied and
entertaining to men and women of Gull
ture of any weekly ever published, yet
the publisher, grateful for the extraordi-
nary favor with which the higher class of
readers, not alone in America, but wher-
ever English is read, has received Ioam

Harker Lance Falconer'), F. Marion
Crawford, Edgar Faucette, Julian Haw-
thorne, Ambrose Bierce, Hamlin Gar

or so of serial by one or the other of
these entertaining literateurs There will
be no curtailment of the varied and in
teresting matter that has heretofore
gained for the journal the unique and

1t was the unexpected that happened
when the rumors about Judge Gresham
entering the new Cabinet assumed the
shape of apparent fact; but there
should be little surprise and certainly
no complaint from the Presidents
Democratic friends, if the prominent
Republican candidate for President in
1883 shall become the Democratic
Premier in 1898. Frank Blair, the
Republican warrior, orator and vim
dictive partisan of 1864, was the
Democratic candidate for Vice-Presi-
dent in 1868, deliberately chosen by
the Democratic Convention because it
was deemed good politics to nominate
him.-Philadelphia Times.

THE MAN WHO ALWAYS SMILES.

There are those who govern nations, who
car lead their fellow men,
Who gain vast abundance by the toll OF
hands or pen
Who can paint sunset glowing, who can
show 10 worlds the right,
Who can lend the glare of nOontime to the
darkening hours of night.
THEY'RE the ones that get the notice, and
the praising goes their way,
For they're standing out from others In the
open light of day;
But some men who never governed, never
painted, never wrote,
Who never preached sermon, DO our nap
pinesS promote.
It's the man who's always cheerful, with
4 ready laugh and JEST,
Whose presence cen is livening, with Its
contagious Zest; .tt--s<Ss1--
The man whose friends are countless,
whom no one e'er reViles,
Original pack of sprIghtlineSS, the man
who alwayssmiles.
His house may not a mansion be, his place
inside the line
Where common people stand and note
their richer neighbours shine;
Pat vet his life'S grander one, though
lacking much of styles,
His title is the prince of hope, the man
vino always smiles.
Though he never limned landscape he's
an artist in his way,
He's picture fair OF joyousnesSin a frame
that's always gay;
His LIES useful sermon, and he preach
ing all the while,
And he's better off than governors, the
man who always smiles.
He's one of LIES physicians without anti
dOtcs or pills, :,
Ills cures are freely given to all men
current Ills,
Hes missionary worker, leaving out the
heather isles,
And he's aiming straight for Heaven, the
man who always smiles.
Then worship, still, our mighty men who
lead us on in might,
Who teach us and who tell US how to Work
and act Alright;
But leave a thought for this one, too, he
who our minds beguileS.
DoG your hats and speak a CHEEKY word
TO the man who always smiles.

Referring to Judge Gresham's ru-
mored appointment to the Cleveland
cabinet, Hon. w. H. English says
If it should prove that Judge Gresham
has been selected for the State De-
partment, see no reason why any
Democrat should be dissatisfied with
it. I am one of the oldest Demo-
Gratis in the State, and, I expect,
little prejudiced in favor of the old
guard, but shall not be dissatisfied
in the least with his selection. On the
contrary, as Henry Clay said of the
annexation of Texas 81 think I should
be glad to see it,

The attempt OF enemies of the
University to destroy it will fail as it
deserves to fail. An institution now
an hundred years old with very rare
list of alumni, many men of distinc-

it simply a postgraduate institution

A recent examination of the records
Of the trials for capital offenses in eight
of the leading cities of England deYel-
ops the fact that, with few exceptions,
the murderers had expiated their
crimes within two months of their
commission. In one particular in
stance a criminal who was caught red
handed was held for trial by the lower
court three days after the blood of his
victim had called for vengeance, q
week later he had been tried i'm the
higher court, convicted aud sentenced
to death, and two weeks later that
senteuce had been executed. Thus
four days less than a month had c.
lapscd between the commission of the
crime aud the execution of tho dread
penalty. This is believed TO have
broken the worlds record.
Ii the laws In the United States were
executed with such rapidiiy aud celer-
ity, with all delay cut of. the IoophoIes

CAST order would be effective, too, be-
cause the specious pleas of temporary

Household Hints.

Cut all cold meats and old bread
very thin.
Plates for every hot course should
be heated.
Five oysters is the usual allow
ance for portion.
Sugar, milk and cream should al
ways be passed to guests.
Boiled ham and tongue should be
sliced rs thin as the knife blade.
A guest need not take the trouble
10 fold his napkin, as it will not be
used again.
A soup plate should always con-
tain less than the capacity Of the
bowl !; the limit is half an inch be-
low the brim.
The individual who cannot eat
and drink without making himself
heard across the table should be i'm
duced to take his meals in the near
est stock-yard.
The incest way TO serve bread is
TO cut IL in thin slices, divide them
and put them together again on a
tea-plate IN pile not higher than
teacup.
Only the breast OF partridge and
canvass-back duck is eaten. Small
birds like plover, snipe, reed and
SQUAD are served whole. With
spring chicken, half is served to
each person.
Never ask a guest to "have some
more meat, vegetables, etc." The
well-bred way is to say, .'Will you
have this chop ?" "May / help you
TO a piece OF FISH 2" LET me give
you some hot coffee"
Knives and forks. have handles.

The Democratic party cannot af-
ford to purchase the six votes OF
Louisiana by reimposing the tariff
on sugar that was taken off by the
Mckinley bill. Apart from the
principle involved, the bargain
would be bad one, for it would
cost the party in the next congress
at least thrice six votes from the
west and northwest.
The placing Of sugar on the free
list Was the greatest blunder the
proteclionists have made in the long
battle over the tariff. IL carried in
TO every household in the land dem
'onstrative proof that the tariff is a
tax that our own people pay II
that it raises the price of the COM
modify on which ii is imposed, and
that prices can be cheapened by
taking il of. Every householder
who learned that the sugar duty had
been removed, and then found by
experience that as a consequence he
could buy twenty pounds oil sugar
for a dollar, where he had previ-
ously got only twelve pounds, had
received an object-lesson that no ar
gument could discredit. In the light
of this practical experience the pre-
posterous plea that cheapness is de-
grading--that "a cheap coat makes
a cheap man"-was simply laughed
at. The west and the northwest
were won for tariff reform by the
adroil use OF this conclusive object
lesson, and throughout the country
cheapened sugar was pointed 10 as
an indication Of what Democratic
triumph would mean for the con-
sumer.
II the duty is reimposed and mill
lions of voters are thus taught that
tariff reform means a higher prizes
for the necessaries of life, the result
cannot fail to be disastrous. The
Democratic motto should be, "Once
on the free list always on the free
list" There must be no backward
