It Was . Solemn Occasion, But a Few
Jokes Could Not BE Suppressed.
The signing of the declaration OF
independence was solemn act. The
signers were subjects of King George,
and their act was treason. If the
king could have caught them he
would have hung them, every one,
and this they knew; but, according
to the traditions that have come
down to us, this knowledge did not
deter certain of them from relieving
the solemnitv Of the occasion with
the natural flow of their wit and hui
NOR. The remarks attributed to
them are not exactly authenticated
by history, but they are too good
not to be believed. 1t is said that
when John Hancock affixed his bold
autograph he remarked. The Eng
lishmen will have no difficulty in read
ing that" that when Franklin signed
he said, SNOW, we must all hang
tsgether or we will hang separate
fy," and that Charles Carroll, of
Carrollton, when asked why he wrote
his place of residence replied that
there was another Charles Carroll
and he didn't want them to hang the
wrong man.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the great measure and one who led
the debate in It's support was John
Adams of Massachusetts, and when
the declaration was adopted he
wrote to his wife in these prophetic
words: This will be the most mem
'orable epoch in the history Of
America; celebrated by descending
generations as the greatest ami
versary festival, COMMUNICATED as
the day of deliverance by solemn
acts of devotion to Almighty God;
solemnized with pomps, shows,
games, sports, guns, bells, bonfires
and illuminations from one end of
the continent to the other, from this
time forward. forever"
Of all the eloquent words uttered
regarding the declaration of indie
pendence by the orators of the gen.
creations which have succeeded it's
inception no more impressive sem
tence was ever spoken than one pro-
nounced by Ralph Waldo Emerson
in an address delivered in Boston
during the civil war. Referring to
"a ,contemptuous characterization of
a certain political speaker he said:
1--WE have been told that the declar-
atien of independence is glittering
generality; it is an eternal ubiquity."
Among Americas later statesmen
no one entertained q more excellent
regard for the declaration, or more
persistently emphasized its import.
amt relation to legislation, than
Charles Sumner. He always held
that the constitution should be in
terpreted in the spiriG of the declar-
alton. He said: The declaration of
independence has supremacy grand
err than that OF the constitution.
Every word in the constitution is
subordinate to the declaration. The
declaration precedes the constitu-
ton in time and is more elevated in
character. The constitution is an
earthly body, if you please; the dec
laration of independence is the
very soul itself"

CURRANTs IN CALIFORNIA Although
currants may be successfully grown
in many parts of California, they are
not widely profitable as commercial
fruit. The area of currants grown for
the market does not increase-in fact
it is probably less than 1t was ten
years ago. 1t is SO easy to produce in
excess of the demand that planters
have reduced their acreage Even as
it is, the San Francisco market price
usually drops during the height of the
currant season to- price too low for
profit to the grower. AS fruit for
home use or for sale in nearby local
markets the currant is always worthy
of attention. Pacific Rural Press.

METHOD OF CULTURE.-Level and
shallow culture has been the winning
policy with Iowa potatoes and corn
this year. Deeply cultivated potatoes
are now nearly all dead on the tops,
while potatoes that have been Guilt
waited level and shallow, and the bugs
kept in subsection, are growing
splendidly and promise an abundant
yield if we are to be blessed with rain
within two weeks. Level and shallow
culture has been equally beneficial to
the growing corn. Now is the time
for farmers to examine their neigh
bors' crops and thus gain the benefits
of lessons that will be valuable in all
future years.-Ex.

MOISTURE FOR CUKRANTs.-The cur
rant fails, usually, in the hottest,
driest interior situations, but even in
unfavorable places one can succeed
measurably we'll by growing the
bushes under the cover of fruit trees
and maintaining moisture enough in
the soil to supply both the bushes and
the trees. The currant is exacting
about constant moisture supply and
protection from fierce dry heat. If
this is borne in mind and the condi-
tions insured by shade, by irrigation
and by mulching or continuous surface
cultivation, the currant will probab bly,
yield satisfaction in many places
where it is now regarded as a failure

per dozen in New York and Boston,
and they have built up these prices by
establishing confidence. If it is inn
portant to collect eggs frequently in
winter in order to prevent them from
being chilled, it is equally important
to collect them in summer to avoid
having them exposed to the Matching
temperature. When an egg is left in
the nest over night and is covered by
hen that desires to sit, the egg will
be subject to the incubating tempera-
ture, and of course the germ is started.
which is sure step to fermentation
il the heat is removed. When the
poultry house is covered with low
roof and the summer days are away
up in the nineties, the temperature Of
the house will sometimes reach los de-
grees, which is more than sufficient to
start circulation in the egg, as the egg
will undergo all the stages of incuba-
ton by simple exposure to heat, with
out the aid of hen. Such eggs can
not be sold as strictly fresh" The
remedy is to use no males, and collect
the eggs twice day.

with powdered sugar; wet the edges
of the paste with ice water; lay on a
thin crust of light puff paste; press the
edges together, and with sharp knife
trim off evenly; press around the base
of the fruit about fourth of an inch
from the edge of the pan, so as to push
the fruit up in cone in the center,
when the juice will run around the
groove formed by pressing. Brush
the crust of each tart over with ice
water and bake in quick oven.

fresh Air and Exercise.

Children should spend the greater
part of the day in the open air, and
should usually be allowed to amuse
themselves as they feel inclined, says
a writer in Household News. This is
the best way for them to get exercise
In the spontaneous indulgence of their
youthful sports every muscle of the
body is brought into play. Health
and strength can not be obtained by
walking staidly about, with their
nurses or parents, sight altogether
too common in our city parks. The
light gymnastics, which now form
part of the curriculum of many
children's schools, have an excellent
effect in developing the chest and
limbs and in teaching children to walk
erectly; but they should not and can
not take the place of active out door
exercise. Boys and girls should play
together. This is of advantage to
both sexes, particularly to the girls,
who are thereby led to take degree
OF exercise which, from the natural
tendency to inactive amusements, they
would otherwise miss. Children
should not be housed during cold
weather. Unless the temperature is
very low they should go out daily,
and, if they are properly clad, no fear
need be apprehended Of their catching
cold therefrom. But if they are al
lowed to stand and dawdle about they
are far better off in the house, In
summer care must be taken that the
child does not get overheated at its
play, and if he does that he does not
remain in draught while cooling off.
nor should he be permitted to remain
too long exposed to the direct rays of
the sun.

PLANTS may be obtained
quickly by thoroughly cultivating be-

supplying some rich fertilizer. Where
irrigation is practiced give the plant
a thorough soaking each week. After
the runners have made start, place
