MY CREED.
CLARKE BEATRICE ST. GEORGE.

This is my creed
Who strives in all things to live firmly true
And lift unshrinking eyes upon the day,
Granting soft words OF hope and comfort to
The fainting souls on life's dusty way;
Who sees no burning wrath nor torments
dire,
Ard calmly trusts Gods mercy in his
need;
Such shall attain the heaven Of his desire.
This is my creed.
This is my creed:
Never to doubt His love who made the
world,
Nor deem one soul, however frail and
weak,
Can stray beyond his sheltering hand, tho
hurled
Through desperate doubts. To know His
love will seek
And claim the souls His mighty will gave
birth;
To know each true cry He will truly
heed,
And lose no soul from all this teeming
earth.
This is nv creed

those that remain cease to grow, turn
yellow and often dry up. This is due
more to the tramping Of the bed, which
is generally wet when the plants are
drawn, than TO dry weather. To pro-
vide against this danger it is necessary
to keep the feet from coming in con-
tact with the bed. This can be done
by laying down blocks or sticks OF
wood and resting plank on them.
Upon this bench the person drawing
plants should stand. Thousands Of
young plants are destroyed by tramp
ing over the bed, and the soil is SO
compacted that those that remain
cannot grow.
Another important feature is, that
the plants should be drawn from the
bed one by one, and only such as are
large enough to transplant. This
thinning out OF the bed by carefully
pulling out the larger plants, will ac-
celerate the growth of those that re-
main, provided the bed is not walked
over.
A remedy is sometimes found for
stunted, delicate plants, in building an
arbor covered with green boughs over
the bed, and watering copiously.
This will rarely fail to give renewed
vitality to the enfeebled plants.
A precautionary practice with many
| nh fo w
the bed with about half the seed first
used, when the first plants begin to
make there appearance, SO that in event
the first seed should meet with disas-
ter, those last sown may be under
going the process OF termination.
In many districts where wood and
brush are scarce, good plants are
grown without burning, by planting
to clean plot Of virgin, or even old,
rich land, about forty pounds of guano
to 100 square yards. This is sprlnk
led over the surface after the ground
has been we'll pulverized, and raked
in. Others select place where a
standing bed is made and used from
year to year. After the planting sea-
son is over and before the grass and
weeds have grown to seed, it is coult-
cred and then covered with straw
leaves, or brush with leaves on, to pre-
vent vegetable growth. The trash and
brush are burned off at some dry time
in November or later. Such standing
beds, if we'll manured are said to be-
come better each succeeding year.
They are heavily manured by fresh
loan from the woodlands, by com
posts of stable manure, thoroughly
rot,ed, care being taken to handle II
SO as to destroy all foreign seeds, and
by frequen, top dressing of good com
mercial fertilizer.
The manure mostly used for such
purposes is taken from the hog pen
not only because it is thought to bf
the richest but because it is freer from
any noxious seeds. Guano or we'll
rotted stable MANURE are used TO ad
vantage also, in addition to many o.
the commercial superphosphates.

The habit of Throwing bouquets at
themselves" to use stage phrase, is
by no means new to members and
Senators. Spending the public funds
for their personal comfort and con-
venience is quite an old habit with
them. They have their own barber
shops supported at public expense and
there are very handsome marble bath
rooms at each end oil the Capitol for
the use OF Senators and members OF
the House. The restaurants are not
yet free to members, and perhaps that
is the reason Mr.. Aldrich made SO
vicious an attack on the Senate restau-
rant not long ago, But if the Senators
do net make the Government pay for
their food, they get at one time their
supply Of whlskey for use during the
sessions Of the Senate at the public
expense. 1t was never charged as
whiskey in the accounts. In those days
they did occasionally call a spade a
spade, however, and On one Of the
funeral excursions taken at the public
expense fifty years ago there is q
record Of wines aud liquors bought IL
great profusson on the journey. Re
| freshments Of this character are no
lacking when a Congressional ON
mittee attends funeral to-day.
During the summer season, tn
Senate is supplied with Apollinari

great many barrels OF mineral waite

Senators have always been a little
ahead Of the members Of the House in
obtaining perquisites. The average
member does not stay in Washington
long enough to know what he wants.
The average Senator is here for six
years at least and he makes the most
Of his time. Senators have had pri-
vate secretaries for many years, while
members Of the House have had them
but short time. In fact there was a
fight year after year in the Appropria-
ton Committee of the House over the
item inserted by the Senate in the
Appropriation bill providing salaries
for secretaries. Members kicked stub
bornly against the extravaganza
Now they can not afford to crit,cise
the Senators for they have gone into a
similar extravaganza on their own
account. Just now the private secre-
tarles of members are employed for
the session of Congress only. Sc
ostensibly are the secretaries Of Sena.
tors. But just at the end of the ses-
sion of Congress one Senator after
another pops up in the Senate with a
propositien to I" investigate" something
during the recess and the Senators
solemnly vote for the investigation by
that particular Senator's committee
The committee never meets during
the recess and the " investigation" i.
merely an excuse to continue the
salary Of the committee clerk who il
the Senator's private secretary. Usually
the private secretary is the Senator
, son and SO the salary OF the office i:
kept in the family.
There is another perquisite Of Sena
tors with which the members OF III.
House have not caught up yet. Th
Senators some time ago voted them
selves private Offices Heretofore onl,
the chairman of committees had hat
Offices. They used the committe
rooms. Other Senators concluded tha
they werc entitled to offices, too. 5,
the Senate tackled on an appropriate,
bill an item for the purchase OF tn
Maltby building, brick apartment
house opposite the Capitol grounds
The building cost SI38,ooo. Tn
members Of the House expected tha
they would have part of the Maltb
building, but the Senators quietl
took possession of it, and now eac

of apartments for his individual use
Many of them are furnished yer
handsomely. So are the committe
rooms in the Capitol. When MI
