pimcult,es of carnation Culture.

Luck is not reliable factor in the
difficult problem of earnation culture. It
demands exhaustive knowledge of the
habits, requirements and diseases of the
plant, unceasing watchfulness and uIre-
mitting labor the year through. Even
when all is done that seems possible to
merit success. the grower is liable to the
evaporation of finding that particular
varieties, upon which he may have based
his most sanguine expectations, obsti-
nately refuse to flourish under his care
Almost every carnation culturist knows
varieties that he "simply cannot raise"
and neither he, nor anybody else, can
tell the reason why. OF course, there
must be something lacking, in soil, wa
ter, air or treatment, which they re-
quire, but it seems as if they were ca
pable of taking offense at him, or his
surroundings, and preferring death, or
at least unproductive life, to endurance

TO GET THE PENNANT.

Cleveland and Pittsburg Have q Plan to
Locate It West.
A conference was held recently at
Pittsburg between Robinson and Tebeau
of the Cleveland Baseball club, and Kerr
and Mack of the Pittsburgs, the out
come of which is said to be pooling of
issues between the two clubs, looking to
the locating of the pennant for 1896 in
the west.
It was said at the meeting that the
east for years has had a combination,
the successful working of which has kept
that section winner. To offset this, it
is now proposed by the two clubs men
toned to pool their extra players, and
as the season progresses draw from the
surplus to strengthen either team, as
may be mutually agreed upon.
Whether this plan will be extended to
other western teams is not stated, but
the two principals believe that such
combination will work SO effectively
that the pennant will next land in the
west.

EDEN's FLOWERS AND THoRNs.

In this beautiful season of Towering

pleasure-whether we could possibly en-

also. It comes from exposure to the damp
ness Of the nights and mornings. to the
sudden change of temperature, and it GER
tainly goes, as thousands know, by the

Mrs. Cleveland.

In evening dress Mrs. Cleveland is
the handsomest woman today in Wash
ington. She has beautiful neck and
we'll rounded shoulders, and with the
sparkle of her jewels makes a picture
Of White House mistress which is
simply regal. Her smile is contagious,
for her manners are always agreeably
gracious.
Mrs. Cleveland is seen on the street
occasionally, walking in the mornings
or driving around among the shops. She
is the most devoted of mothers, and is
never away from the children at night.
This has done away with the little shop
ping jaunts to New York which used to
give her SO much pleasure during her
first residence here.-New York Times.

willing to oblige.

Ex-senator Sawyer was quoted in
Washington as saying: "When they ask
me if I want to be delegate, tell
them No. don't care anything about
it, that have been to a good many
conventions; that am pretty near 80
years old, and that if any of the boys
want to go in my place am perfectly
willing to have 'em. At the same time,
if they want to make me delegate I'll
accept. I've got nothing else to do, but
I'm too old to have any ambition, and
hereafter will do anything that is want
ed of me, but no more"
This is very sensible and moderate
observation. But it applies to all sorts

New Idea In Railway Tracks.

The annoyance of wheels slipping on
tracks, especially in up grades, and the
tremendous resistance experienced have
led to new invention. The rail is pro-

cogs are set Oh diagonally, inclining
downward, and are less likely to accu-

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Feb. 16.--A special
to the Journal from Wichita, Kan, says:
Today Mrs. Lease made her debut into
the ministry. She preached her initial SER
mon and conducted her first public exer-
cises in the Central Christian church to an
audience that extended out into the middle
of the avenue. The saying tonight is that
everybody in Wichita was present except

morning, swept out his drug store ana did
a prosperous business while his eloquent
wife was preaching.

the door, and then she changed her mind
altogether and delivered a sermon on how
one should love his enemies. 1t was at
once recognized that she was speaking for
the ex-governor's soul particularly, and
her remarks were listened to with interest.
After the sermon she said:
l love MIR. Lewelling as private citizen.

A great many deaf mutes were present
and had the words of the speaker inter-

Mrs. Lease delivered another sermon to
an audience nearly as large as the morning
congregation this evening There was
only one instance in which Mrs. Lease de-
parted from the spirit of love that charac.
terized her sermon, and that was when she
said that the chdrch heretofore told only

How TO MAKE A CITY PAY

is out of date and must retreat before
the advance Of improvement. The
ring came in when men we're most of
them so occupied with their own bust.
ness that they we're quite willing to let
somebody else manage the business of
the town. The ring was ready to un-
dertake the task. Today the relation
of the city as whole to the welfare of
every person who lives in it is coming
into sight, and the business man is
coming to sense of his personal re-
eponsibilities. The old idea was that
the city should be administered by the
Republicans or Democrats. Today that
is being resented as an impertinence.
1t is being seen that the city is busi-
ness corporation and must be managed
on strictly business principles, and
that national politics have no more to
do with it than they have with the
selection Of foreman Of mill.
There are only two legitimate par
ties in the city--the liberals, or pro-
gressives, and the conservatives. The
idea that a man should be elected
may or because be is a Republican or a
Demo crst is as absurd as that he
should be chosen on account Of being
a Presbyterian or a Methodist His
own admin strative ability and his in
tegrity to the best interests of the city
are the only considerations to be taken
into account.
Manchester is good example of
city which is carried on according to
the customary methods of alert and
enterprising corporate business. 1t is
considered as important to have an
expert and competent man at the head
of a departme of the city as it is tn
have trained foreman in the factory;
and every good Off 'ial is sure OF his
place, 60 long AS he fills it, ss his neigh
Dor, who superintends the looms. A
wholesale change of employees, putting
out men # one party and put
ting in men of another for party
reasons, is felt to be as foolish and i'm.
provident in the business of the civic
corporation as in any individual busi-
ness.
Manchester is governed by commit
tee OF lU0, with four over. These men
are chosen from the city at large, aud
are divided into considerable mum.
