Charges of Foul Play.
DENVER, CoIo., May 10.-A special to
the News from Rawlins, Wyo., says: No
one here seems to know anything about
the charges of foul play in relation to the
Sidney Smith suicide, as sent out from
Oakland, Cal. When Smith jumped
through the car window from the train he
received scalp wounds and bruises upon
his neck and shoulders. There is no doubt
he was mentally unbalanced. He refused
the medicine prescribed for him, but told
the jailer that if he would get him some
poison he would take it.

by scrofulous hip disease, SO that his

ELECTRICITY AT SEA.
Tests Prove That the White Light Is by
Far the Most Easily Seen.

Tests Prove That the White Light Is by
Far the Most Easily Seen.
Some interesting experiments have
been made on the visibility Of the cleo
trio light at sea by the governments of
Netherlands. The word "visible'' in the
report on the tests means visible on
dark night with a clear atmosphere.
The result of the experience Of the Ger
man committee was that white light
of one candle power was visible IA
miles on dark, clear night and one
mile on rainy night.
The American tests resulted as fol-
lows: In very clear weather a light of
one candle power was plainly visible at
one nautical mile; one of three candle
power at two miles; one of ten candle
power was seen by the aid of binOc-
ular at four miles; one of 30 candle
power family at five miles and one of
83 candle power plainly at five miles
On an exceptionally clear night a white
light of 80 candle power was readily
distinguished at three miles; one of 5. 6
candle power at four miles and one Of
17.2 candle power at five miles.
In the Dutch experiments the results
were almost similar, but Is candle
power light was plainly visible at five
miles For a green light the power re-
quired was two for one mile, 15 for two
miles, 81 for three miles and 100 for
four miles. The results of tests with a
red light were almost Identical with
those with green, but it was conclusive
ly proved that white light was by far
the most easily seen.-Chica6O Record.

A FAMOUS COUPLED.
The Familiar Lines Which Have Been At
tributed to Martin Luther.

The Familiar Lines Which Have Been At
tributed to Martin Luther.
Nearly everybody is familiar in one
language or another with the famous
old German couplet attributed to Mar
tin Luther, and which literally and
properly translated into English is as
follows:
Who loves not wine, wife and song
Remains fool his whole life loI 8.
This supposed sentiment of the great
reformer has been quoted thousands of
times as his, and it's authenticity was
not questioned. But now comes very
competent authOrity-The Lutheran OBJ
server-and stoutly insists that Luther
never wrote the lines, and that, in fact,
they made their first appearance more
than 900 years after his death.
According to The Observer, III the
year 1877 we'll known German poet,
John Henry Voss, published at Ham
burg small volume entitled "Musen-
almanach {" The Almanac of the
Muses''). At the end of one of the
poems in this book he placed the coup
let in German:
Wer NIGHT liebt vein, webb und gesang
Der bleibt Elm narr sein lebenlang.
To this efusion Voss affixed the name
of Luther. This caused a good deal of
comment and excitement Voss was
candidate for the position of teacher in
the Hamburg gymnasium. The Luther
an pastors OF the city protested against
his appointment because Luther was not
the author of the couplet" which had
been attributed to him, and because
Voss had thus made Luther encourage
intemperance. But in spite of all that
could be done in the way of denial and
explanation the lines literally chung to
the great name and refused to be sepa-
rated, and we venture to say that COM
paratively few down to the present day
ever doubted that Luther was their real
author.
AS the couplet expresses the convivial
sentiments of many Germans it is prob
able that it was common piece of un
written German folklore even before
Luther's time Some English writers
have made the lines into bacchanal
rhyme, with sinister meaning, but the
true version, coupling "wine, wife and
song" expresses the prevailing senti
ment and custom among Germans in
taking their wives and children with
them to the gardens and other social re-
sorts for recreation and amusement. -

one can procure plants from a near
neighbor, dug up from a young bed
that has 20 yet fruited, nc better
chance need be looked for. But we
want to get these plants when they
have just begun to make a new growth
in the spring, and we are bound to set
them as soon as they are dug. If it is
unavoidable to keep them for a few
days, on account of unsuitable weather
or unprepared soil, the plants should
all be heeled in, ecery plant By itself, not
left in lunches together. If kept in
punches, the roots will surely mold
and die.
The right way also includes planting
at proper depth, and with roots we'll
spread. One Of the latest Cornell bull
letins explained this with an illustra-
trations {l.ere reproduced in smaller
size).
At the left we see a sample Of care
less planting. The roots are ''just
stuck" in the ground in a bunch to-
gether, and in cramped quarters. The
plant shown in the center is evidently
set too high and will suffer, while the
plant at the right is set as it ought to
be set, the crown just even with the
soil surface, and the roots we'll spread.

How Climbers May Re Best Trained in
the Garden.
Climbing vines have many different
methods Of attaching themselves to
their support. Some encircle a branch
of the post by twining their main bod
les around the support. A hop vine is
a familiar Illustration of this. More
delicate one cannot twist around their
stakes, but have to have string or sim
liar material to cling to. The ordinary
morning glory is an illustration of this
class; but there are some which simply
climb by twisting the leaf stalk around
the support. This is especially true of
different kinds of clematises, yet it Is
not unusual in some gardens to see
stacks as thick as walking canes put
for the clematis to run up on; but, as
it is unable to do this, they have to be
tied to this pole by Irvine, while the
go on twisting themselves in
order to find something to cling to,
and as a consequence the vital powers
OF the plant are exhausted. In many
cases the clematis, especially the va
riety known as J~ackmanni, will die COM
plerely and suddenly from the attack
Of a minute fungus; but it is more
likely that this occurs oftener in cases
as described-for want of proper means
OF support. Thread or Irvine for the
leaves to twist around, Or even a little
brushwood, such as we would give to q
crop OF peas, is much more likely tc
produce healthy and vigorous elem
atises than when they are deprived Of
all means of using their leaf stalks as
tendrils.- -Meehan's Monthly.
