HARDY MOuntaiueers.

There is in Denver peculiar class
of men. They are essentially men of
the mountains. They may have their
weaknesses. but cowardice is never one
of them. They are men with pecu-
liar development of certain faculties.
They handle money as IA farmer handles
seedcorn only as 2 means of produc-
ing more. They are always spend
thrifts. Misers do not live IA mile
abo,e sea-level, where the ether in
toxicates, and n hysteria of hope dis.
turbs the emotions of even the best
poised. Physically, these men of the
mountains are remarkable Their
chests average four inches more in
breadth than those of the men of the
East. They do not become giddy.
They can climb anywhere. They can
walk all day. They can sleep any
where aud they can eat anything, but
nre naturally luxurious, and the miners
cabin frequently knows finer viands
than the dining-roam of the cohven-
tlonal aud prelentious citizen. Omaha

Bengal Peasant Proverbs.

The wisdom of the Bengal peasant
cultivators finds expression in proverbs.
of which collection has been made
by Babu in the Agricultural Depart
ment of that province. His apprecia-
tion of the outwardly revered Brahmin
betrays itself incidentally in the
maxim. Grain and inundation disap-
pear when south winds blow, like the
Brahmin as soon as he has received his
fee"
Other Bengal rural aphorisms are:
"Have the land which receives the
washings of the village, aud the bullock
which walks fast, and marry the girl
whose mother is good" ''He who
works in the field himself with the
laborers gets the full profit; he who,
being unable to work himself, super
vises the workings of the laborers, gets
half the profit; lie who orders the
laborers from his house does not get
enough to eat. London News.

The recent record breaking perfor-
mances of Ocean-going steamships
have been done ON American coal from
Pocahontas, Va.
1t would take 720, O3O rowers, work
ing at their oars in eight-hour shifts,
to develop as much power as the steam
ship Lucania's engines.
The first electric railroad for coal
carrying purposes has just been COM
pleted from Buck Mountain to Eek

The initial installation of the Nj
agara electric power arrangements

ARRANGING CUT FLOWERS.

With very few exceptions, every
flower looks best when arranged with
the foliage Dame Nature bestows upon
it. Flowers should not be crowded.
Zach one should have fair chance,
therefore do not use dozen flowers
when six would look far better. Buds
and foliage are as important in flower
arrangements as the flowers themselves.
Dame Nature always arranges her
flowers in this manner, and we cannot
do better than to copy her as nearly
as we can.
Different flowers need different
surroundings. Tall flowers like
gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, chrysanthe-
NUNS, need large, tall vases, while
sweet peas, nasturtiums, pansies and
other short-stemmed flowers need low
vases, bowls or baskets. In whatever
we arrange our flowers, let it be sec
ondary to the flowers themselves. 1t
should not be highly colored, so as to
''kill'' the coloring of the flowers, or
so elaborate as to draw attention from
them.
We sre not compelled, as in former
years, to put our flowers in the regu-
lation vase, says Good Housekeeping,
or use glass preserve dish. There
are many beautiful receptacles for
flowers, American cut glass, cut into
innumerable facets, rejecting myriad
rainbows of colors il bowls, baskets,
and dishes of various forms. There
are bowls and jugs of crystalline white,
amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise
blue, apple green and thousand and
one conceits of various kinds.
Cut flowers should be taken from the
vases each morning and bit of the
stems cut off, all decaying leaves and
flowers taken out, and replaced in
fresh water. Soft water is better than
hard; if the latter is used, a few drops,
of ammonia may be added. Thee ecooler
the flowers are kept the longer they
will last. In the winter, when flowers
are scarce, it is "A good plan to take
cut flowers from the vases at night
and place them in washbowl, keep
ing the flowers above water. Put them
in the cellar, or n cool room where
they will not chill. They will freshen
up and keep much longer than if left
all night in hot room. Never leave
flowers at night in sick room. 1t is
hurtful for the sick person and the
flowers. Farm, Field and Fireside.

on hand, and when the horses come in
at night their feet and legs can be
carefully washed and dried. If this
work is done while the dirt is soft, it
Will be much easier than if delayed
until the next morning when it will
have become dry and hard. A good
supply of curry combs and brushes
with which to cleanse the hair and
skin are essential. A large quantity of
waste matter is thrown off through the
pores of the skin and if these are al
lowed to become closed up, the health
of the animal is affected.
Good bedding, properly supplied,
adds much to the comfort of the
horses and at the same time aids in
keeping them clean. SO it is an i'm
portant item to have all of the bedding
dry. 1t will be the best to lay sup
ply and store it under shelter so as to
have it on hand when needed. Good
hangers for feeding hay, and tight,
convenient boxes for feeding grain
will lessen the waste.
Closets should be arranged in which
to hang harness as having it behind
the horse in the stables is, to say the
least, very injurious. In arranging
their closets care should always be
taken to have them near by in order
to save time. AS the feeding must be
done two or three times daily, and as
on many farms the horses are har-
messed once or twice every day, con-
venience in arranging is an important
item. Every horse should have its
place, with halter and convenient
place to tie to. Making the horses com
Portable will lessen materially the
quantity of feed necessary to keep
them in good conditions Louis

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS.
HOW TO WASH FLANNELs.

Flannels should always be washed
by themselves in a suds prepared for
them; on no account be rubbed on
the board, unless very dirty. The
suds should be pleasantly warm to the
hands, not too hot, and no hot or
cold water be added while the fiannels
are in the tub. They should be rinsed
in clean water of the same tempera-
ture as the washing suds, and as many
waters used as may be necessary to
take all the soap out, as the flannels
will never be soft with the soap left
in them. They should never be blued.
They should be pulled in shape before
hanging. undershirts being hung from
the shoulders They should never be
hung out of doors in freezing weather,
but quickly dried before the fire, or,
better, over the register, and pressed
as soon as dry enough. New York

with sobs, the lady in black, who drew
aside her veil to let me see that she

to inform me that the pistols which |
saw before me We're the last and most
sacred relic of II once princely fortune
that had belonged to her husband. He
was professional duelist, she said,
but had been out of W work for u long
time and was utterly unable to find

of these they should hypothecate, and
although her heart misgave her sorely
as to the result, her good husband had
finally decided that the pistols should
be 'spouted.' They were something in
the nature of a family Bible to her, she
said, because the birthday of her in
FAINT boy, the date of her marriage and
other interesting domestic events had
been neatly nicked with bowie-knife
in the ivory handles of their beautiful
weapons. In the little silver-clasped
cavities. always provided in the butt OF
duelinS pistols for caps and the like,
she had instead been accustomed tc
keep lock of hers and her husbands
hair, neatly intertwined. / bought the
pistols from her, of course, being
much moved by her suffering, and she
left me with a bright smile upon hel
face, promising, when these funds ran
out, that she would bring round the
baby. New York Recorder.

The Cinnamon Tree.
(Gnnamomun1 ZeyIanicum.)


The Messrs. Reasoner, proprietors of
the Royal Palm nurseries at Oneco, Flor
ida, are doing the State great service
in their efforts to introduce into gener-
al culture such a valuable economic
plant as the Cinnamon Shrub. If, as
they seem so confident, this will grow
successfully and proftably in Florida,
it should receive the attention of the
cultivators Of the soil. We quote from
the Manual for 1893 Ct Reasoner Bros.
what they say upon this subject:
''This is perhaps destined to be one of
the leading economic plants grown in
Florida. Of immense value, the annual
product selling for millions of dollars,
and the demand constantly increasing !;
we of the South must plant this valua-
BILE tree. Widespread interest is be-
ing manifested throughout the West In
dies in this tree, and considerable is be-
ing planted, especially in Jamaica and

claring as humbug all that Florida par
adise literature, as they had to shiver
here more than ever in the North; but
please, don't let these owls destroy our
happy sleep.
Yesterday my eyes were attracted by
a report in New York paper, giving
details of Governor Flowers action in e.
gard to forest culture and the energetic
support of TIE legislature for the pur-
pose of not only protecting the forests in
tile Adirondacks from ut t II ruin, but at
the same time covering large area Of
that district with new plantations OF for
est trees; yes, even acquiring i'll addi-
iionlarge tracts OF adjoining land in order
to create an unbroken wall of forests
over sections and sections.
1t is SO customary to speak OF New
York corruption in Slate and city adj
minstration and legislation; and still
with all this corruption governor and
legislators find time for a successfuleffort
to attend TO the peoples welfare, and to
lay the foundation for riches, which in
after years will surpass all the devastated
States OF the Union.
What is the matter with our Cover
nor, our legislators? Are they too vir-
tuous to initiate New York s example, or
can they, for alltheir small petty schemes
and political squabbles and fights and
personal interests, find no Iimeto attend
to the real interests and welfare Of the
people, or ia it above their intelgenceal-
together to see what they are elected for;
or do they wait until the people teach them
this lesson and rise in a storm and de-
mand that they shall do their duty?
You upply US in your valuable paper
with good advice for successful orange
culture, which, WITH our regularly FROST
bitten trees is getting more difficult every
year and less promising in returns; work
is increasing all the time and getting
more expensive; the necessity offertilizers
is quadrupled in proportion to former
years. Railroads are smiling at their
good income with carry ing fertilizers
South and oranges North; manufacturers
are getting rich by selling fertilizers. and
new machinery, and insecticides and
spraying pumps, and irrigating plants
and what not; commission men do not
object taking their ten per cent. OF the
two or three million boxes.
ORANGES produced at SO large an ex-
pense; they are all making hay while the
