ing the Triumph Of Sound Money.

New York, Oct. 3O.-Dispatches con-
tinue to arrive in this city showing that
in the Middle and Western states there
is quaptity of capital lying idle,
which is ready for investment lust as
soon as the election of Mckinley is as
sured. This capital is at the present
time locked up in vaults TO the amount
of millions of dollars, and only waits
the defeat of Bryan to be put in cir
culation.
From st. Louis it is announced that
merchants and bankers say that with
in the first six months after McKin-
ley's election $25,0O0,000, now in safety
vaults. Will be put in circulation in
Missouri alone, while Bryan's success
would mean the withdrawal Of $40, 900, =
600 in addition to the above amount
from trade i'm that state.
There is also said to be lying idle
in the state of Ohio $50, ZOO, 900 for in
vestment in case Mckinley Is elected.
Some of 1t is new capital and some
capital that has been withdrawn from
trade pending the issue.
In Iowa state banks large amount
of capital is also reported to be held to
await results. and millions of dollars
will be set free for investment through
the state If the Republican candidates
are elected,

CLEANING FURNITURE.

One reason why people fail in clean
ing furniture coverings is that they
are too economical in the use of
naphtha. II must be literally poured
on to be effective. Standing in the
breeze it will evaporate very quickly,
and will destroy every vestige of
moths. If the articles are to be left
IN the house they may be wrapped in
sheets, tightly pinned around them.
This keeps certain amount of the
odor in the furniture for long time,
and renders it doubly safe.
1t cannot be too strongly empha-
sized that no light of any kind must
be taken into the rooms while the
naphtha-cleaned articles, recently
cleaned, are there. The inhammable
nature of naphtha vapor makes it ex-
ceedingly dangerous when brought
near flame.
Cushions, carpets and wool draperies
may safely be cleaned In this way, and
all that is necessary is to throw all
draperies over line in the yard, open
the windows, remove the wrappings
from the furniture, and let the breeze
have full sweep through the rooms
for day or two. Then there will be
no offensive smell, and the furniture
may be used with perfect safety so far
as danger from fire is concerned. ---

A CRUEL PRACTICE.

No more cruel thing is thoughtlessly
done, day after day, winter after win
ter, than the putting of frosty bit
into a horses mouth. At least I try
to think that only the thoughtless
could be guilty of such an inhuman
practice. Yet what child does not
learn at an early age the penalty
of contact between tender flesh and
cold iron on biting winters day? 1t
is possible that any man whose baby
fingers have clung to frozen iron until
perhaps the skin was torn from them,
can so far forget the sting as to force
the same biting iron into the moist,
tender mouth of brute, as sensitive
to suffering as he himself? "Can't
take time to warm bits )" "only hurts
a minute" "they don't mind it !" "do
hold them against the horses body
sometimes" are some Of the excuses

ASPARAGUS CULTURE IN A NursHrn1.

hSIAhAGNh ONLIUhE IN A
There are many who are very fond
of asparagus, but will not grow it be-
cause of the time which expires before
the plants will furnish q crop.
"Where land is plentiful-and on
most farms there are many acres that
yearly go to waste-this should not
be, for in planting a small bed and
taking care OF it there would not be
more than one or two whole days in a
year spent upon it, aud at the end of
the third year the planter would be
richly rewarded for his labor.
First of all have your land in good
shape, and don't be afraid OF the ma
nure or fertilizer. Purchase Your
seed from some good house, as the
seed is the foundation upon which
your future bed will rest. Sow 1T
thinly In rows one foot apart during
the months of April or May, according
TO the weather, and keep down oil
weeds. To procure good strong
healthy plants thin out the seedlings
to three or four Inches in the rows,
saving only the strong ones.
One year can be gained upon this
system by buying from you scotsman
year-old plants, which should be set
out in spring in a rich sand loan,
which has been plowed at least eight.

amount OF we'll rotted manure worked
into it. If your soil is of stiff clay,
add plenty of sand to it and also some
gifted coal ashes, which will serve to
loosen it up. You should also make
some preparation for under drainage.
Every fall good dressing. of coarse
manure should be applied after the
tops have been cut, and in the spring
this should be forked in.
In cutting the crops never cut the
roots too closely, as they need the BEN
eft of at least a little foliage, or else
they will weaken and die during the
cold season. New York Witness.

USE POTASH IN TIE FAIL.

1t is important in mnnuring or
chards, that the potash fertilizers ap-
piled be mixed with the soil and go
down deeply enough to reach the roots.
There is no danger that potash thus
applied in fall viii be wasted by leach
ing. Fruit tree roots go down as deep
ly as most underdrains as any one who
has dug underdrains in orchards must
know. The feeding roots sometime in
the course of the fertilizer downward
will seize it and turn it to use. Potash
is in especial demand for bearing
trees, though it also has an excellent
effect in promoting strong and
healthy growth of foliage. on which
proliicacy largely depends. Boston
