The "Growing Hand For Plants.

1T seems Incredible" said George
Marsh to the corridor man at the La
clede, that there should be such a thing
as "a growing hand in the planting of
flowers and other plants, but it is recog-
nized even by florists, and it has grown
to have a regular name. Some people will
read directions for preparing the soil
and planting the seed or slips and fol-
low them faithfully, and yet nothing
viii. grow, or if it grows at all it will be
stunted and almost worthless, while an
other, without halfthe care and trouble,
will have everything live and thrive.
II saw a little girl bring back what
appeared to be worthless sticks of some
plants which she had found in the
woods. Her mother wanted them to
live, and selecting the best she planted
and tended them with the greatest care.
The little girl took the ones that had
been discarded and started a little gar
dem As she called it. of her own. The
ones that received the attention died.
Those which the little girl stuck into the
ground lived and subsequently, doomed.
1t would appear as if plants had an affin-
ity for some people and not for others"
st. Louis Globe Democrat.

Bitter JealOusies Aroused by the Success

A great meeting of merchants, traders
and manufacturers will shortly be held
at Manchester for the purpose of FORM
ally starting a boycott against Liverpool
shipowners, who are accused of organ
lied efforts to hinder and delay the sue
cessful working of the ship canal. The
bitter feeling is growing in both cities,

imminent. Manchester is certain to win

The Mersey dock and harbor board is
being loudly accused Of incompetency,
and the Liverpool Land and House Own
ers' association is claiming the right to
place a nominee on the board in order to
help save the city from threatened ruin.
Liverpool is certainly having a run of
bad luck just now apart from the canal
trouble. Fighting in Africa and the

an opportunity to put their seal of approba-
ton upon both the governors action and
the supreme courts vindcation of it. Since
the republican party brought Gov. Rich to
the front and made him the executive head
of this great state, it is now the duty of that
party to comply with the peoples demand,
and that party will make grave mistake If
it fails in this duty.
The cry of zone term for governor" has
been raised to defeat his denomination. If
there is any virtue whatever in that cry it
has none in this instance and at the present
time. State Affairs has no sy ympathy or re-
spect for the one term howl at all. The
people are not such simpletons las not to be
able to determine for themselves, after a
fair consideration of each particular case,
whether they want citizen for governor a
not believe in cast iron rules and regula-
tions, outside of such as the people see fit to
incorporate into their constitution, to ham
per the people in the exercise of their judg-
ment and privileges. In tie case of Gov.
Rich, the refusal of second term would be
sorry return for the magnificent service
which he has rendered the people and would
be little short of the basest ingratitude.
And, finally, this is an inopportune time to
raise the lone term" cry. 1t should be
raised, If at all, at some ones first nomina-
ton and then there would be fairness
about 1t that is lacking at present"

Annual School Meeting.

The annual meeting of the union school
district was held in the armOry Monday
night with rather small attendance. The
meeting was presided over by President Kill
patrick, who gave an outline of the work
done and the financial condition Of the dis
trict. The estimate of expenses for the
coming year was also presented. 1t is a
little higher than last years. Including the
superintendent there are now thirty-five
teachers on the pay rolls.
In addition to primary school money and
the other sources of revenue, it was stated
that about $24, 900 would have to be raised
by tax to defray the running expenses and
meet other obligations of the district. Later
this sum was appropriated without Opposi-
tion. The treasurer's report was read by
the president and Sec. Shattuck read Sec.
Smiths report of the last annual meeting,
the same being accepted and adopted.
| A statement of the cost of the additions to
the Central building was made showing that
| S., 900 would be required in addition to the
appropriation of $4,000 already made in
order to make the changes and complete the
work as voted to DO by the district at the
last meeting. In other words the district
had voted to build two four room addition
to the Central school and make certain other
changes in the old building and then had
appropriated sum insufficient to complete
the work. After some discussion it was
voted 10 bond the district for the additional
$4,000, $1,000 to be paid Jan. ], 1896 and
81, 900 on the first of each year thereafter
until all was paid.
1t was not deemed wise to make a com
plete over hauling of the heating and venti
lating system of the old building this yea
as it would not only make heavy addition
al expense but would delay work and pre-
vent school opening on time the cominl
year. Some inexpensive ventilating devices
will be put in, which, it is thought, will
considerably improve the old rooms. Th,
entire cost OF the addition and all change
will be something over $22, 200.
The matter of appropriations and bond
being settled, the question of the election
of two trustees to succeed DR.. A. M. Hum
and NJ. c. Dawes, came up. The ballotin,
quickly resulted in the reelection of both o
these gentlemen. The meeting then ad
journed.
