How to Care Fer Oleanders.

An oleander ought to bloom profusely
half the year. Plant out or plunge small
plants during the summer, giving them
abundance of water. The best soil is
equal parts of loose, rotten sods, sand
and cow manure. See that tubs or pots
are well drained. In winter set in cool
light cellar with little water, not little
enough, however. to cause the soil to get
quite dry. When repotting in spring,
prune and cut back the branches some.
Keep the plants in partly shaded To-
cation under tree or on a porch.
Give plenty of water and shower the fo-
liage. If mealy bug or scale be found,
use whisk brush and soapsuds to re-
move them.

Where discipline l. Essential.

It seems to us that we have this year
an inordinate number of reports Of riot
GUS and obstreperous conduct on the
part Of students in institutions Of learn
ing, especially in colleges and academies,
and even in seminaries for young wom-
en-. Making due allowance for youthful
frivolity, we take occasion to say that at
all hazards order must be preserved
among the students and discipline en-
forced by the faculty of all educational
institutions. When students are suf-
fered to override the rules set up by the
faculty, it is to their own disadvantage;
when professors fail to apply these
rules, it is evidence of their incompeten.

disorderliness, it is on the road to ruin

Relping Out . Mealeal Authority.

A medical authority says that in view
of q threatening plague people cannot
be too careful in the selection Of the ice
they use, as all sorts Of disease may be
communicated by this medium, but no
directions governing the selection of ice
are given. In order that the public well
fare may be conserved we present few
general rules for the guidance Of ice
purchasers.
The best ice is always cold, and some.
times slight moisture may be observed
upon the surface. 1t is devoid OF smell
and will melt when exposed to a tenn
perature Of 10 degrees F. Ice made
of water is most desirable. 1t should
be transparent, or nearly SC, and should
break into fragments when given q
sharp blow. Tough ice that will not
break is generally adulterated Avoid
soft ice or ice that has been subjected to
excessive heat while under process Of
manufacture.
It sometimes presents fine appear
ance, but is unhealthful. Tcemore than
three days old should not be purchased,
as it is liable to turn sour on your hands
and will have to be thrown away. After
having melted, ice loses many of its vir-
tues and shculd not be used. It should
always be kept in cool place and at q
distance from gas fixtures to avoid ex-
plosions. wv ashington News

A volume of memoirs has just been
published giving the experience of o
French president of assizes. It bears Gu
rious testimony to the inaccuracy of
women on the subject Of their own ages.
AS the writer's information is from the
calendar, he speaks only Of the criminal
classes. The only instances in which he
finds correct dates given by women are
when they are under 25 or over 85. AT
these periods Of life, he says, they are to
be trusted. At all other periods the sure
controlling tendency is to understate.
The magistrate has been able to give q
rule for guidance. He finds that female
prisoners invariably state their ages as
20, 80, 40 or 80, and from this remarSa-
BILE circumstance he deduces his rule. II
their ages are in the forties, they boldly
set them down in the thirties; but, con-
science asserting itself, they keep as near
the truth as they can and fix them at 80.
Whether male criminals do the same the
magistrate does not state.

Beautiful Lectures on Journalism.

Lectures on journalism are becoming
abundant. 1t goes without saying that
10 times out of 90 they are by those who
know nothing Of their subject expert
mentally, but know all about it theoret-
ically. And, oh, how beautifully they
do talkl But If they'll only take little
hack at it in q practical day in and day
out sort Of way they'll find that journal
ism means something else than spider
web rainbows and pansy beds, or we'll
lose our guess.
We have never known case where
actual experience with book canvassers,
committees who want lot of free ad-
vertising in the editorial columns .'for
the good Of the cause, you know" etc,
ever failed to leave its impress of stern
logic. Those who presume on the duties
and responsibilities Of journalism and
all that sort Of pretty talk would see
some things at least q little differently
IL they'd only get down from their high
horse and take hand at journalism
themselves. Milford on. W Journal.

A Word 70 BIZ. carnegie;

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has made large
fortune in the steel business, but is not
satisfied. He now poses as political
prophet, but is not entirely a succass.
He tells us that the whole English
speaking world ought to unite in order
to boss the affairs of the planet. Such
o combination, he declares, would give
us the dictatorship. We should be-
come the arbiters Of the worlds destiny,
land all like that, you know" Our
consolidated navy would be decisive
IN any controversy, and European ma
tions would be compelled to ask our PER
mission before cutting each others
khroats.
There is no reason why we should
unite with England either politically,
commercially or otherwise. We are
quite able to run our own machine, and
ask no help from any one. We don't
propose to assume the task of control
ling Europe. If Germany wants to fight
Russia, that is her business. We will
stay on this side of the water and supply
breadstuffs at reasonable profit. If
France is loading up for contest, that
is not our affair. She is her own master,
and we have no desire to take hand.
If our memory serves us, we were at
some pains about century ago to break
off all close relations with England.
King George got very mad and swore at
us in his characteristic patois, but we
brought that stubborn gentleman to
terms at last. 1t is not probable, there
fore, that we shall at this late day enter
into combine" with England which
might open up a chance to recover the
property she owned before the Declara-

now to treat New brussels carpets.

Brussel carpets even Of the best quality
are liable to be injured by something
catching in the loops of the threads.
This roughens the surface and prolongs
aloop to an unsightly length. Cut 1t off
ss soon as the damage is done, thus pre-
venting its pulling on other threads.
See also that the furniture and casters
are smooth enough not to catch, also
that there are no projecting nails in
boots that must walk over it. Avoid
sweeping new brussels carpet until
the loops have been trodden down some
what. For this reason, 1t would be well
to cover 1t with rugs or an art square
for a month or so If possible.

HOW TO CONTROL a HoRsE.
A Runaway May Be Mastered by Using a
Little Judgment.

LittIe Judgment.
A horse cannot nor will not run away
with his neck handsomely arched and
without bearing hard against the bit. By
having him carefully fiexed and mouthed
you put his head, neck and mouth in po-
sition to make resistance against the bit
physical impossibility, and even If he
should be frightened into running, the
muscles Of his neck and jaw having by
previous training been brought under abb
solute control, he will quickly yield to
the pressure of the bit and can be man.
aged with ease. Besides forcing the horse
into physical obedience, flexing and
mouthing have an equal moral effect
viz, being taught that the pain caused by
pulling the bit ceases with the beginning
Of his obedience, he always, as it were,,
anticipates your wishes by yielding in1-.
mediately. These results obtained by
fexing and mounting refer to both driv-
ing and saddle horses Have your horses
well trained, fexed and mouthed before
driving or riding them through the
streets or park, and you will have fewer
accidents, fewer wagons to repair and
fewer doctor bills to pay.
To hold spirited horse-one of those
luggers who nearly pull you off the sad
die or who pull the wagon by the mouth,
with the reins as traces fastened to your
hands and you as substitute for whifle-
tree-isn no pleasure. You wrap the reins
around your hands You use buttons or
loops or universal or patent bits, which,
giving the horse more pain, only cause
him to pull harder, for he wants to free
himself from the torture inflicted by the
bit; or by an overdraw attached to the
thin bit, the latter pinching the mouth
(the thinner and smaller the bit the great
er the torture), you elevate his nose and
tie 1t up to his tail, keeping him for
hours in strained position, which pro-
duces that peculiar stiff movement Of
shoulders snd forelegs SO noticeable in
horses checked by high overdraws. But
you 10 not remedy the trouble; the horse
still "lugs."
If you, instead Of fighting the whole
horse at once, would first become master
of his separate parts, particularly his
neck and jaws, by having them fiexed and
supplied SO that you can handle them
with ease, you would have no trouble, no
Juggling, no running away. If the horse
lugs with his jaws resting against the
bit, it is not caused by the hardness Of
flesh in his mouth, but by the position Of
his head and neck and tho stiffness of the
latter, receiving and centering in it the
impetus of his body. He may, for in
stance, have heavy muscular neck and
strong, narrow jawbones. The muscles
Of the neck not being, by flexing, taught
to yield, those which carry the head and
neck stretched out are predominant. and
although be would like to evade the pain
inflicted by the bit he cannot do SO, but
must rush against It, Remove the cause.
and the trouble win disappear.
