TOMATOES FROM CUTTINGs.-At
any time from the first of June to the
last of July cut from the old plants,
limbs or branches, say IL TO 18 inches
in length. Trim off leaves, etc., to
within six inches of bud end and plant
in furrow or trench made with plow
or hoe, lay the cutting down in the
furrow with cut end say four inches
deep. Cover all except six inches Of
the small or bud end, bending this
end up and leaving it almost erect.
Pack the earth firmly with the foot.
Plant when the ground is in good plow-
ing condition, but not when wet.
Use no water unless the earth is very
dry, but certainly none after planting.
These plants will begin to bear fruit as
soon as they start to grow, will be
stouter and more stocky than the par
ent plant, and will continue to grow
and bear until killed by frost. If frost
should threaten, pull up the vines, tie
and hang up by the roots in some dry,
protected place; take off all fruit not
fully grown and the remainder will
ripen from time to time until late in
the winter.-J. F. c. DuPre; S. G..

on THE DEATH OFMY AUNT, MISS
MARY +. DAVIES.

The Angel Of Death hath visited once more,
A home that was once all peace and repose,
And removed from this earth OF trial and care,
One whose life was beautiful and fnir,
To brighter home in heaven.
She has gone from this world to that farther
shore,
To join her voice with the voices Of those
gone before,
In singing sweet songs to Jesus above,
In that beautiful city where all is love.
Her life was one Of service and love
TO Jesus, who reigns In heaven above;
But her mission Is finished and she Is at rest
With those who sleep on Jesus's breast.
We miss, oh ! we miss, the voice that always
rose
To the dying OF earth to flee, for repOse,
To Jesus, who heals all our SORROWS and cares,
And gives us vision Of that beautiful rest
That remaineth for those that are perfectly
blessed
Dear Saviour, remember thine own bitter cup,
An while we drink ours, may thine arms
bear us up;
NAV we feel that this atiiction Is all for the best
To help us home to heaven and rest.

Immediately about Dry Lake, in Lassen
county. I was a sergeant there under
General Wheaton during the Modoc
war. Dry Lake usually has no water
in it at all. 1t is almost an arid plain,
with some alkali scattered here and
there over it and its area is about two
and half by four miles. On one side
are the Pitt River mountains and on
the other are pine woods, while to the
west are the famous lava beds in which
the Indians hid during that last great
California struggle with the savages.

valley below into the curious basin.

A BITTER ALTERNATIvE.-In some

the recurrence of broiled salmon, boil
ed salmon, salmon outlets, and salmon
steak at every meal becomes, after d
few weeks, d trife monotonous. TO
the native planter, brought up on it and
to the manner born, this constant re-
appearance of the selfsame dish is Il
matter of course; but to the newly
arrived tenderfoot, or tourist, it grows
at last into a feeble joke.

Tremendous Rally In the Interest OF
"HOnest" Money.
The big free silver conference, about
which there has been a great deal of
talk recently, assembled i'll Memphis
last Wednesday, and at last accounts
had not adjourned When the con-
ference was called to order, there were
more than fifteen hundred delegates
present, and it was estimated that the
number would be further augmented
to something like 1000.
The conference consists of delegates
from every Southern and Western
State, and very nearly all of the
Northern States were represented.
The promoters of the meeting claim
no credit to themselves for the large
attendance. They say it is sponta-
neous manifestation .occasioned by the
Carlisle conference.
Senator David Turpie, of Indiana,
was unanimously elected president of
the conference, and the following dis
tinguished gentlemen, all of whom
were present, were elected vice-presi-
dents:
Craig Smith, Alabama Senator Ber-
ry, Arkansas; Alex Delmar, Califor-
mia; J. B. Bush, New Mexico; B. F.
Weaver, Virginia A. P. Blackwell,
Texas; Senator Bate, Tennessee;
Governor Evans, South Carolina

Paul A. Deus, Montana w. G. Yerger,
Mississippi; NJ. J. Cunningham, LOU
isiana; J. R. Reynolds, Kentucky;
Anson Walcott, Indiana w. H. Hi

The committee on resolutions is COM
posed as follows: Senator Jones, Ar

an, Nebraska; A. ]. Warner, Ohio.
Big speeches have been made by
Congressman Sibley and Alexander
Delmar, the well-known writer on
coinage, who was member of the
silver commission of 1876. There will
be other speeches, and it is confidently
believed that as a result of the confer
ence, the free coinage fight will be
fairly launched.

Baker who was at the time In Mama

government. After this ruse had failed,
