Colunbariam Which Has just Been
Flnfshed Near San Francisco.
A columbarium has just been fin-
$4,000. A cclumbarium IL q place
where the ashes Of those who have
been cremated IRE fled away in pig
eOn-hOlcs, with neat little placnrtl
on the outside Of zach giving the
name of the departed and other facts
for Identification.
The urn in which the ashes are
sealed Ii an ornamental little piece nf
pottery or metal, and 1t may. lie taken
out Of the pigeon-hole and busted, or
handed about from one to another Of
the relatives and friends Of the de-
parted upon the occasion OF their
visits to the grave" More than one
thousand urns can be stored away In
the columlArium, on whose possess
sion the Californians are now priding
themselves, and which is the only one
Of the kind In the United Suites.
1t IL q separate building, D feet
square and 40 feet high, built entirely
of granite, with a dome roof Of iron
frame covered with terra cottn filing.
In the crown of the dome there Is q
skyllght, through which q soft, re-
ligious light falls into the interior Of
the building, where the urns will
stand around In peaceful, mathemati-
cal array. m,5
The floor is in mosaic, with q large
bed Of flowers In the center. The
tiers of pigeon-holes for the reception
Of urns may be reached by bronze
staircase. A heavy ornamental metal
door guards the entrance to the col
umbariuln, and watchmen will Ike on
guard to prevent burglars from. enter
ing and stealing the ashes Of any Of
the departed which might strike their
fancy.
The building has been 80, planned
that wings can be added at any time,
but It Is expected that 1t will be many
years before the one thousand pigeon
holes now ready will oil be occupied,
although the San Francisco cremnto-
rum, since the time of its completion,
has done a steadily increasing bust
ness every year.

The Sofa Bean ana the Cow Pea.

the e0Je Bean ana the Cow Pea.
I see the sofa beans are spoken Of
age, soillng, hay and fertilizinr crop.
Please give me full information re.
gardfng them, and state how they COM
very highly by some seedmen as n for.
pare with COW peas, and the wonder
ful pea for Flowing under rs green
manure.
Answer: The Sofa or Soy bean is q
valuable forage crop. 1t should never
be sown broadcast, however. like the
COW pea, but planted in hills or drills
and cultivated. Its more upright
growth makes 1t easier to harvest than
the COW pea and 1t cures more readily.
But greatly prefer that the COW men
for forage. As q soil improver the sofa
is very good, but no crop for land Inn
proyement should in my opinion, be
plOwel under green, and doubt. the
economy Of blowing them under Mt all
on soil Of fairly good fertility. In any
event, the crop should be allowed to
attain perfect maturity before blowing
under, particularly In the south. We
have known serious damage result
from blowing down a heavy green
growth in hot weather. Careful ex-
perimente made at southern stations
llave shown that the best use to make
Of the cow pea is to NOW 1t for hay or
ensilage. and fed 1t to stock, carefully
saving the manure and returning 1t to
the land. But IL 1t is desired to pillow
under a crop Of peas, or other legumes
never do 80 until the crop has reach
ed perfect maturity. The COW pea 10
by far the best crop for this purpose,
and the Wonderful is a COW pea. 1t
1t has long been known and cultivated
in the south as the unknown" and
tho "Quadroon." Its immense growth
of vines makes It very valuable for
this purpose, but In your mountain re-
gion 1t will hardly mature seed. as It
is a very late sort. Clay or black COW
peas will do better with you in THU
respect.-Practical Farmer.

The effect Of prayer on Republican
convention was illustrated at Louisville.
After Rabbi Moses made a straight out
single gold standard prayer. the conyen-
ton went right of and straddled unmer-
ciiully. Bnt Rabbi Moses ought TO read
the last chapter Of the first Book Of
Chronicles and reflect ON the talents Of
gold and the talents OF silvel which
David, the King, proposed for the build
Ane Of the Temple. And after Rabbi
Moses has read and reflected, he will
find there was DOUBLE standard among
the chosen people. David, the King,
was. himself. one Of the greatest and the
wisest Of the royal race Of Israel and his
people were Ike unto him In their views
Of tho value Of the precious metals and
the need Of double standard. OF course
ii can not be expected that the Republi.
can party knows anything about the
sacred writings but Rabbi Moses surely
does a Oovineton COMMONWEALTH.

in dimes, quarters and half dollars, for
use and circulation in our own country /,
that the United States government
should issue no paper money in less
denominations than $40, nor coin any
gold in less denominations than S..
Make all silver that is coined by the
United States government a legal tender,
at its face value, for all debts, private
and public, in the United States. II our
people contract debts in foreign countries
they will in the future, as they have in
the past, pay their debts in the lawful
money OF such countries where the debts
are due.
II international agreement can be
secured to recognize silver in all coun-
tries, am in favor Of that, 'but no silver
that is coined by foreign countries shall
be legal tender in the United States,
unless such foreign countries shall make
silver that is coined by the United States
government legal tender, at its face
value, in such countries. II no inter-
national agreement can be made, then /
am in favor of our own government coin
ing silver for the use and benefit of our
own people in the prosecution ofbusiness
and the development OF our country's re-
sources, to whatever extent the country,
in its growth, population and business,
may, from time to time, require, at 10 to
l, or whatever ratio to gold the United
States congress acting for the whole .peo-
pie of our country, shall determine is
right, just and proper, in the interest of
the American people, east, west, north
and SOUTH"
1t is sensible, level-headed letter,
aHd it shows that the cause OF free silver
is making progress among our railrosd
men and in business circles.
1t is a good sign to see the leading
men of other occupations joining hands
with our farmers in regard to the finan-
cial question.
