Flowerpots.

All new fiowerpots require to be soaked in water and allowed to dry thoroughly before being used. The soil does not hang we'll to the sides of gar den pots unless so treated. Dirty pots arc open to the same objection. Let any one try to put a plant with fresh soil into pot which has been used before and left unwashed, and he will find in Q few days, when the soil begins to dry, that it leaves a space and does not ad- here as it should to the sides of it. Nc plant can possibly flourish under such circumstances. The roots of plant draw to the sides of pot naturally ill search of moisture, and growth, of course. is checked if current of air is allowed to pass between them and the sides. Some plants exhibit this tenden- cy ill such a remarkable degree that few roots are to be seen, except network on the outside of the soil next the pot. Florist

WHERE KANsAS OUGHT TO BI

WHERE KANSAS OUGHT TO BE
 Ingalls, has about decided that his time has not quite come to be sent back to the U s. Senate from Kan sas. And yet he is as good as any of the other candidates. They all represent policy dangerous and calamitous to their State. For the people of Kansas to do themselves full justice they will repudiate the whole Eastern policy and all who have favored it. Kansas is a Vest ern State and needs q Western policy-needs it more than Arkansas or Missouri, whose forests, mines and railroads indicate advantages for manufacturing and interchange, while Kansas is devoted almost ex- clusively to agriculture, and must seek it's welfare in the prosperity of that great but long oppressed in terest. It needs cheap lumber, cheap fencing wire, cheap salt, cheap tools, cheap implements, cheap tin ware, cheap clothing, cheap carpets, cheap blankets, cheap croekery, and plenty of money-and the man, be he Republican or Democrat, Ingalls, or some one else, who would deprive his people of these blessings does not deserve to be in public life.

A Daring Trick.

Zone of the most daring tricks / ever
came across, : said RI. f. Farrell, a New
York attorney, twas in the case of q
man who deliberately impersonated a
LAWYERS clerk and persuaded o very sick
man to sign d will without reading 1t,
and which disposed Of his property in
direct opposition to his wishes. It was
q case OF q family dispute, and the old
gentleman, who was quite wealthy, had
decided to disinherit his eldest son and
leave the property TO q younger ne.
Being warned by his doctor that he had
only a day or two more TO live, he sent
instructions to his attorney to draft his
will and send it down promptly for sig
nature.
while the lawyer was preparing the
document q representative of the eldest
son arrived with a paper, which he said
was the will prepared by the sick mans
attorney. The will was signed without
hesitation and duly witnessed, and when
two hours later the lawyers clerk ar
rived with the genuine will he wa not
allowed to enter the house, being warned
off the premises by the housekeeper. On
his return TO the Office his employer saw
at once that a fraud had been commit
ted, and he hastened to the house to
have ii set right. In the meantime,
however, the sick man had become IN
conscious, and he died without being
able to execute y viii after his own
wishes. The bogus will was upset, but
the fraud could never be sufficiently
proyedeto convict the man suspected Of
c~oncocting 1t, and he inherited quite q
large sum of the money as next of kin.
