San Antonio lifts its hat to
Houston. The Old Alamo City
cannot come in when it comes to n
matter Of pure cussedness, or of
youthful depravity, or of whole
sale killing. In all these as we'll as
in it's dirt and other devilment the
Bayou City is without a rival in
the race.

1t is the business of every firm to

1t is also the business of the city to

service rendered and against this
there is no kick due.

That Michigan case is a new one,
and requires a specific and signal
punishment. 1t is bad enough to
falsify the returns Of an election
for purposes Of party advantage,
but when the returns are falsifed
for the purpose of increasing the
salaries Of the very men who have
falsified those returns, then it is
time to hit hard and place the
stamp Of condemnation upon the
act. 1T is as selfish and mean as it
is dishonest, and is without excuse.
The Republican party is to be con-
graduated that it did not have

The state as a measure OF pro-
caution has the right to shut up in
safe place all those who are con-
sidered by competent authority to
be dangerous to its peace and the
security of its citizens. 1t is under
this authority that lunatics are
shut up, and under the same code
there is no doubt that the state
would be justified in combining
within walls every anarchist who
is known to be such. An ounce of

HOW To MAKE A HOT BED.

Where the farmer or gardener is too
far removed from business centers to buy
plants cheaply of the seedsmen, hot.
bed will be found convenient Tor starting
many kinds of plants. The first step tc
be taken is getting really the manure
with which to supply the required bot
tom heat. Fresh horse manure mixed
thoroughly with one-third to half its
bulk Of leaves, or straw used for bed
ding, or other manure that has been
heated once, are the materials preferred.
As soon as this compost begins to fer
ment turn it again and lei remain until
signs appear of a second fermentation.
Make an excavation about two and
one-half feet deep and of size to suit
the sash on hand or number of plants re-.
quired. Locate this pit il a dry spot,
facing south or east. One sash will gen
orally give early plants enough for \
large family. The frame for the sash or
sashes may be made OF boards nailed to
small posts at the corners. This frame
ought to be about eighteen inches high
at the back and twelve inches in front,
to give the proper slope to catch the
sunlight. To facilitate the opening and
shutting of the frame, cross-pieces should
be plaled for the sash to slide on.
When all is ready tread the manure
down firmly in the pit, to the depth of
two and half feet; put on the sash and
keep the pit closed until the heat rises.
In two or three days spread on top soil
TO depth OF six or eight inches. In
this seed may be sowp in drills, two or
three inches apart, for early tomatoes,
eggplant, cabbage, caulifower, lettuce,
pepper, etc.-New York World.

How Coreah Troops Are Drilled.

On the recent arrival at Chemulpi,
Corea, of the United States steamer
Marion, Commander Gridley, accom-.
panied by three of his officers, paid az
official visit to Seoul, where they were
the guests of United States Minister Au.
gustine Heard, at whose request Hi,
Majesty, King Ii Fin, granted private
audience to the officers and assured the
commander of his friendship for the
United States. The officers were also in.
vited to witness the drill of battalion
Of Corean soldiers, whose military bear
ing was specially noticeable, as were also
the precision and excellence of thsi,
drill.
Two companies of 130 men each took
part in the evolutions, which were per.
formed according to Upton's tactics.
The manual of arms, wheelings and
marching in quick and In double tim.
were admirably performed. The file
closers all carried long handled clubs, OF
paddles, instead of rifles, like the rest.
The officers curiosity regarding the use
of these paddles was soon satisfied. A
poor devil In the rear rank, who brought
his piece to "ahoulder arms" instead OF
,"order arms" was instantly pounced
upon by two burly file closers, knocked
down and given a beating that must
have made his bones ache for month.
He made no moro mistakes that day.
This interesting diversion was repeated
several times.-New York Herald.

the value to health of the pure liquid

beneficial properties of pefect lax

dispelling colds, headaches and fever
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid

every Objectionable substance.

ROTATION IN THE GARDEN.

1t is good thing in the cultivation O.
garden not to grow the same vegetable!
or plants year after year on the same spot,
nor even two years in succession on the
same. 1t is liable to generate diseas,
and to exhaust that portion of the soil il
which the plant feeds or to remove tn,
peculiar elements which it needs. Roots,
deep-feeding aud shallo feeding plants
should succeed each other. A strict
system of rotation is always safest.
Where a mixed lot OF vegetables il
grown, the same ground may be worked
1or an almost iudeiuite length of time
by changing the location of each kind

Wolves In Russia.

Wolves are specially active this winter.
Even in France accidents have been re.
ported, and Government has thought it
necessary to urge the Louvetiers to exert
themselves. Dreadful stories have
reached US from the plains of Eastern
Europe, where the inhabitants are used
to reckon wolves as an abiding peril OF
the winter season, aud take no great &C.
count Of the victims whose lives are lost
in the accustomed manner. But it is
many years since town-even as
"towns" 60 in Russia -wa5 actually be-
sieged by these GuImals. Such, we are
told, Is the fate Of Tikhvin, in the Pro
vince Of Novgorod. They quarter d.
neighborhood in large packs, aud make
forays Into the streets, seizing any living
thing they can catch. The women
stay indoors, and the men only go out
armed to the teeth. This tale is not TO
be dismissed as a mere fable. 1t mag
probably be exaggerated by legendary
incidents handed down from the time
when there was no safety outside the
towns. The Governor Is said to have
despatched battalion of infantry, a sot-
mia of Cossacks, and three hundred C5as-
seurs to make war upon the enemy. Such
force may protect Tikhvin, but it il,
not be hoped thatthe wolves will suffer
much. They will be driven off to prey
upon the country districts. Those who
know nothing of the matter are apt to
regard it as another evidence of barbar-
ism that these creatures should be al
lowed to flourish. Why does not the
Government or the people exterminate
theml The answer is that it cannot b..
done, even in France, though they might
be reduced to a trihing number there II
the Louvetiers were in earnest. But
wolves are migratory. Many of those
which are beleagucrIhg Tikhvin may
have travelled from Siberian wastes

siderably. A medium size is Ii hands,
ana 500 pounds; the largest are l6 hand.

A jack recently sold In Kentucky for

NAL were: 121 ! inches from the nose to

knee to ankle II, around arms 2Gt, and
around stife 33 inches. This is not so
