PURE DEMOCRACY,

There are some funny things observable nowadays. That is, they would be funny if they were not go serious. For instancs, here is country struggling with diversity because of the voting last fall which was to bring prosperity. Here are Democratic business men who voted for free trade praying for protection. And here is the New York Democratic State convention meekly carrying out the orders of the Tsmmany boss, and solemnly saying: We believe in simple, honest, aud frugal gov ernment, individual liberty, genuine home rule for municipalities, elevation of stan dards in the civil service, @ revision of the tax laws, secret ballot and fair count, the development of agriculture, the proper fostering of labor interests, the spread of education, all necessary public improve ments, the suppression of monopolies in
 the manufacture and sale of necessary ar
 ticles of life, and the strictest sccountabil.
 ity from every public officer. We reso-
 lutely oppose all sumptusry legislation that needlessly interferes with the personal liberty or reasonable customs of the peo. pie, sllattempts to limit the free exercise and enjoyment of religion, all unneces sary or extravagant expenditures of public money.

IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE.

IN THE SWEET BYE AND BYE.
 While Colonel Sellers was keeping him. self warm by stove with lighted candle in 1t and sumptuously banqueting on alternate courses of turnips and water his gorgeous imagination drew pleasing pict- ure of millions of sore eyed Asiatics buying his eye-water and making his financial con- dition correspond with his imagination. So we, who are in the midst of financial stringenoy, and lack gold, can, if we will, look forward to time when gold will be even more plenty than the ophthalmie Asatics whom Colonel Sellers imagination relied on to make him wallos in wealth. All that is needed is salt water, and there is enough of that. An inventor of & new process of extracting gold from salt water, says that there Is three dollars worth of gold in every ton of water in the Great Salt Lake. It would cost fifty cents per ton of water to extract the gold, giving profit of $2. 50 per ton. There are It, ,000, ,000, ,00O tons of water in the lake, which would yield $45, ,000, ,000, 900 worth of gold at a cost of only $7,5O0, ,0OO, 900, leaving profit of s37, 800, ,GO0,O0 And think of the salt oceanel There's billions in thsml
 By and by, when this scheme Is in good working order, and when Edison has shown us how to make all the diamonds and rubies we want, we can all be rich and happy. The prospect is so pleasing that it will eervs to gild and glorify the present turnips and water even as the splendid visions of Colonel Sellers gildsd and glori- fled his.

INTERESTING QUESTION.

It was, We supposed, long ago settled that the miikmsn had right to wake peo pie up. He has always acted ss If he had. Every morning in every city thousands of those who are asleep and who would like to stay so suddenly hear the noise of his clattering coming and they sleep no more They hear him come from afar and they hear him go to afar, aud as he makee ss much noise in going to afar as he does in coming from afar there is no more coneo- lation in his going than in his coming. There has been no serious protest against him, and he has been accepted ss one of the mixtures of good and evil incident to high state of civlllzstion-a state in which every man doesn't own and milk his own COW. Please notice that we said mixtures, and not mixers. We do not wish to be charged with insinusting that the driver of cart, or that milk cart is in any sense a watering cart.
 The long established right of milkmsn to wake up anybody and everybody on his route has not, that we know of, been seri- ously questioned until lately, but Mssea- chusetts man has taken a notion to find out just how far milkman can go in | waking him up. The matter is even now before the Massachusetts Supreme court. The question is, has milkmsn the right to wake up customer in order to present a billi The defendant had been accus- toned to leave milk at an early hour at the | plaintiffs house. At intervals he had en- tered the plaintiffs sleeping room for the purpose of collecting his bill while his debtor was in bed. The evidence does not show that the plaintiff was reluctant to settle the claims against him. The method of collection was merely g usage to which he submitted But after while he grew tired of 1t and noti fled the milkman to discontinue the prsc tice. One morning, however, the defend ant, wanting bis money and not finding the plaintiff up, made his way again to tn, room, and aroused plaintiff by shaking hi
 shoulder. Then the defendant presented
 his bill. It happened that the customer
 had just fallen asleep after night of sick
 ness, and he showed his resentment b,
 bringing suit tor assault against his cred
 itor. The lower court entered judgmen
 for the defendant, but the plaintiff is no
 satisfied, and wishes 1t to be settled ono
 for all whether milkman can come into
 mans house and wake him up with littl
 bill In his hand.
 The outcome of the case will be interest
 ing to notice. If the milkmsn has righ
 to wake most of the people up by the COT
 ssant collisions of his clattering cans, an to finish his work by waking up the fe'
 who can sleep through that by the violer presentation of his bill, it should | known.

The Nutritive Element in Ale
 and Beer.

There is a nutritious element in ale and beer, but it is small-there is the intoxicating effect, too. That is a strong objection. Yet ale and beer are used, and benefit health at times. There is another liquid, the active principle of malt, JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT. One dozen bottles of it has the same nutritious and tonic effect as a large cask of ale or beer. That's an advantage. Another-it has not the intoxicat- ing effect of either. It helps digest and assimilate food, creates appe- tite, makes the weak strong and healthy.
 Be sure to obtain the genuine. See that signature "JoHANN HoFF" is on neck label of every bottle. None other is |" as good"

Imitation Straws and Blossoms for
 Winter Wear.
 The brim of the hat shown is made of an entirely new material. It is sort of felt stamped In pattern which initiates straw braid more closely in this picture than In the original. It Is trimmed with checkered velvet ribbon and chrysanthe- nuns. Quite desperate attempt Is be- ing made to make popular for the winter profuse trimmings of blossoms, and In the examples shown by milliners these are of ten the flowers of early spring. At pres ent it seems likely that there will be more of this style of ornsmentstion seen in the milliner's windows than worn out of doors.

Potash.

When the word "potash" is used in
reporting fertilizer analysis, it always
signifies the compound of potassium and
oxygen. known as potassium oxide (K2O)
or potash 1t really never occurs in this
form in fertilizer, but chemists prefer
to report it in this way merely as a con-
Venient standard for reference. Potash
generally occurs in fertilizers in such
forms as the chloride (muriate), sulphate
or carbonate of potash, and in an anal
ysis under he column marked ''pOtash,
we have only to remember that the fig
ures used simply denote the per cent. Of
actual potash (IZ2 o. that is equivalent
to the sulphate, chloride or carbonate
Of potash that is contained in the ferti-
lizer reported.
Potash occurs widely distributed in
the soil in various complex mineral com
pounds. 1t also constitutes very large
proportion OF the ashes of plants 1t is
the chief fertilizing ingredient derived
from wood ashes, when they are spread
upon the soil.
Potash is also found in other forms Of
mbinatiOn-sometimeS mixed with
common salt-and is dug in immense
quantities from mines far below the sur
face of the earth. The largest and most
important potash salt mines are located
near Stassfurt, in Germany. From these

How to Grow the Largest Strawber-
rleS.

AS the size and coloring Of strawber
ries have great deal to do toward
selling them, few notes on how to pro-
duce the largest and finest cOlored
strawberries will not come amiss.
When growing plants in the matted
row system, a greater yield OF berries
will be harvested than from those grow
ing in the hill system, but those from
the hill will be larger and better berries,
and therefore will sell better in the mar
kets 1t is very advisable to have only
one plant to the HILL and the runners
from this plant should be clipped Off
In preparing land for strawberries, it
should be made as rich as possible by a
good application of we'll rotted barnyard
manure.
In sections where irrigation is not
practiced, the ground should be kept
we'll cultivated so as to hold and retain
as much moisture as possible. In irri-
gated sections a great abundance Of
OF water should be supplied during the
the fruiting season.
The largest varieties Of Strawberries in
cultivation to-day are the Sharpless,
Gillespie, California Everbearing and
and Mrs. Cleveland
The Gillispie strawberry is about the
largest that have ever heard of, speci
mems having measured three and Il
half inches in diameter (not circumfer-
ence); the quality and general character
istics of the berry are also good 1t is
not an extra good plant maker; with us,
one plant will produce about from ten to
fifteen plants.
The California Everbearing, | believe,
