The Neshamny creek, in Pennsyl-

through the water and mud until the
boys on shore thought that their com

st last the fish grew so weak from its
great efforts that the boys dragged it
out upon the bank and there held it
until it ceased to struggle. Then
they lugged their trophy home, put it
on the scales and found that it
weighed thirty-two pounds.

Yet, even then, it was never intende
that any one man had he the

or a Lin 'oln, should attain such
dominion that congress should follow

Yet we hear the capitalistic press

more dangerous than any forei n foe
Yet this extraordinary boast of CAPT

An organ of capital expressed a fear
the other day that irretrievable ruin

The meaning of this is clear. Vice
President Stevenson was elected tc

seconds.

1t is not uncommon for inexperi-
enced stockmen to think they have
secured excellent pasture because
they can turn into field where
grass is a foot or more high Except
with clover, and not always with
that, large growth is not the sweet
est and most nutritious. Very often.
indeed, the untouched grass in the
pasture field is left uneaten because
it lacks the sweetness which cattle
found in shorter and more nutritious.
We have often seen the grass eaten
down almost to the soil over an IN
derdrain. while the grass grew green
and apparently just as good but un-
eaten few feet away. Then, too, a
dressing of mineral fertilizer. either
potash or phosphate, will do much to
sweeten this too large growth Prob
ably on most soils the potash adds
phosphate also by making what the
soil contains more soluble. -Ameri-

The Ivy on the Wall.

The growth of ivy on the walls of
houses renders the walls entirely free
from damp, the ivy extracting every
particle of moisture from wood, brick
or stones for its own sustenance, by
means of its tiny roots, which work
their way into the hardest stone. The
overlapping leaves of the ivy conduct
water falling upon them from point to
point until it reaches the ground,
without allowing the walls to receive
any moisture whatever from the beat
ing rain.
