NO FEAR OF LAW.
Justice Toomey's once the scene of an
Exciting Incident

Exciting Incident.
Andrew Drogslus and Thomas Kreshanis
became involved in quarrel in a South Main
street saloon last night and Kreshanis was
badly beaten. He went to Justice Toomey's
Office and swore out a warrant for his as
sailants arrest Drogalus was in very ex-
citable mood when before the Justice and
made several Intellectual attempts to get at
the complainant. The Justice warned him
that to commit an assault during
the hearing would constitute an ofiense of a
much more serious character than an assault
elsewhere This appeared to have an effect
upOR the defendant and he remained quiet.
The case was then proceeded with. The com
plainant stood in front of the desk and the
defendant few feet from him. As Krechanis
was telling his story the prisoner suddenly
swung his arm around and gave the witness
a back-hand blow in the face that sent him
against the wall about eight feet distant. The
assailant was about to follow up the attack
when Justice Toomey and Constable Giblon
sprang upon him. The hearing was dis
pensed with and the prisoner was committed
in default of $500 bail. The floor Of the
Justices Office was bespattered with blood
that Drogolus' blow caused to flow from
Krechanis' face

The Coal Trade.


The anthracite coal trade season Of 1897
has practically closed, and from now until
the end of the year the demand for coal will
be regulated by the thermometer. Whatever
new business is done will be only from hand
to mouth. The scarcity of small tonnage
vessels, owing to so many wrecks and compe-
titiOn of the large business which has made
the building of new coastwise coal carrying
schOoners Improbable, is now telling. In
the month of November the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad is re-
ported to have overshipped its allotment of
tonnage, but the company was anxious to
hurry forward to Buffalo all the coal possible
for shipment to Western Lake ports before
the close of navigation. The Lackawanua
Company is now reported to be curtailing its
output and will, it is said hold down its
tonnage of newly mined coal as closely as
possible to the actual requirements of its
trade The Lehigh Valley Coal Company is
believed to have recovered in November a
part Of the tonnage it lost by the strike in
the HazletOn region in October The Read
ing Coal and Iron Company worked its col
lieries about two-thirds time last week, but
that company was benefited in October by
the Lehigh strike, so that it can afford to 60
more slowly now.

A New Tallow Tree.

The Myristica surinamensis Roland,
of Guiana, and the Myristica kombo
H. Bn., of Congo, furnish a grease re-
sembling tallow IN consistency, to
which fact they owe their name of tai
low trees. The tree which we wish to
introduce to our readers, says the
Revue Coloniale, does not belong to
the same species nor to the same fam
lily. The tallow tree of West Africa
may, indeed, be classed among the
family of the guttifers, and had at
first received the generic name of
Stearodendron, for which subsequent
ly that of A1lanblackia was substi-
tuted.
The Allanblackia Stuhlmannii Eng
Ter, known in Usambara by the native
name of msambro, is a large tree with
pretty, large, feshy flowers of a sim
gular shape which at once attract the
attention of the traveller. The fruits,
which attain the size of a human
head, contain large number of seeds
which are extraordinarily rich in fat
ty substance. According to Hoist, the
seeds of only four fruits furnish one
kilo to one and half kilos
of grease of the substitute of tai
low. This may be used in the manu-
facture of candles. Quite an import
ant trade is done in it already in Bag
omOyo. The wood, of reddish color,
may be used in building, and perhaps
even for cabinet making.-Scientific

When Labor Begins.

Some people have an idea that when
a seed or plant is put into the ground,
their labors are ended, and they won
der why it is they have ''such poor
luck" andwhy plants never do well for
them. They seem to suppose that be-
cause plants are expensive they must
be good and will surely thrive for any
one able to purchase them. More
than once [ have heard ladies remark
that Florist So-and-so was a down
right humbug. "Just look at that
camelia that [ bought three weeks ago
and not leaf on the stock!" Or, per-
haps, it is a maranta or some other
plant requiring careful attention or
special treatment which it has not re-
ceived. AS matter of fact in flower
culture it is the cheap things that are
usually good. Strong, healthy plants,
increasing rapidly and easily by cut
tings or seeds, make it possible for
the seeds or plants to be sold cheap,
hence the Beginner should always
commence with these and, as expert
ence warrants, gradually add those
plants requiring special and careful
handling.

of choice verbenas will attract more
attention than almost any other flow
er. They are so snowy, are always in
bloom, and then one never tires of
them.
1t always pays to buy choice seed,
they cost but a few cents more than
inferior ones and the blossoms are SO
much larger, brighter and finer in ev-
cry way. Fill a shallow box with
light, rich, porous soil. Soak the seeds
for few hours in tepid water before
sowing, plant half an inch deep, wa
ter sparingly and place in a light,
moderately warm situation. They ger
inmate in about twelve or fourteen
days.
When they are an inch high lift
them carefully and pot in three-inch
pots, shading them for few days
from the sun. After they get accus-
toned to their new homes give them
plenty of light and fresh air until
they are ready to plant out of doors.
Sprinkle them frequently with water,
while in the house.
Never plant verbenas on stiff clayey
soils; they delight in one that is light,
rich and turfy. These plants should
be given a new bed each year or the
aphis is almost sure to attack the
roots. Give the plants plenty of room,
as one verbena will spread out so as
to cover space yard square.

them harm, that would have been i'm
proved by dividing and increasing ten
or twenty fold. A poor, unshapely
clump of iris, phlox, anemone, yucca,
or narcissus, may often be divided in
to half dozen thrifty, profuse-bloom-
ing clumps, each one of which, at the
end of the year, will be equal to the
parent stock. The secret of growing
herbaceous plants is to keep the roots
strong and thrifty; and this cannot
be done if they are allowed to crowd.
While it is not advisable to lift
hardy bulbs annually, it will be found
that two or three months out of the
ground every three or four years will
prove beneficial. New bulbs are con-
stantly forming, one upon another,
and their tendency is toward the sur
face of the ground. In time the old
bulb decays, but in it's place are 9TH
ers, which gradually multiply and en-
large until there is clinging mass,
from the size of a pea to the full
grown, matured bulb. All of these
send up leaves or flowers, more or less
feeble and undeveloped for want Of
proper nourishment below. Crowding
starves them, for it cuts them off from
their natural supply of food.
But do not lift them as soon as
their flowers decay. 1t is then the be-
ginning of their growing season, and
only when the green leaves which sue
coed their flowers turn brown should
they be removed from the ground and
dried thoroughly before storing in a
dry, cool place in the cellar. In the
case of most bulbs this will be from
May to July.
Before replanting, in September or
October, divide and separate the bulbs
according to size, planting those that
are too small to mower in beds by
themselves. I'm this way bulbs may be
increased much more rapidly, and the
flowers will be larger and more plenti-
ful.-Farming World.

Herbaceous Plants.

Herbaceous plants that do not
bloom we'll are probably root
bound or in an unsuitable location
In either case they should be lifted,
and, if there are masses of roots, be
divided and reset with more room for
growth. Bulbous plants have tend
ency to form new bulbs over the old,
and in this way they gradually work
toward the surface of the ground. II
they are not reset at suitable inter-
walls they will cease to bloom, and in
time even to die out. [ have divided
and reset peonies that had been con-
demned ais 'worn out" and the next
year had the finest lot of flowers in
all the country round.
And so it is with most plants. A
profusion of blooms requires a cor
responding amount of nourishment,
and when the roots become too crowd
ed to assimilate food in sufficient
quantity the plant ceases to flower
and finally dies. I have seen many
rare plants that the owners were
afraid to disturb for fear of doing

A Great Flower Mart.

Mrs. Isabel G. Barrows, in an article
in the New York Independent, on
"Plain Life and High Thought" as ex-
emplifed at Leipzig University says:
Leipzig is one of the great flower
marts of Europe. 1t is joysome
sight to go through the early morning
market and see the flowers of all
kinds i'm masses beyond conception.
There is no student so poor that he
cannot add to the beauty of his room
the charm of a flower when for two
cents he can have a big bunch of
mignonettes. This very morning the
expenditure of "a cents gave one lit
orally an arm full of mignonette, large
and fragrant; forget-me-nots, bluer
than the sky of rather gray Leipzig;
great golden buttercups like what
grow on the upland meadows of the
Rigi; korn blumen, the old Emperor's
favorite flower, and lilies of the valley
in profusion. Plain living, amid flow
ers, with music, nature and friendship
at command, may easily lead to high
thinking, and the student who is here
to strive for requirement Of truth may
well scorn the trappings of wealth,
since wealth. is not needed to COM
mand the highest and best.

PansieS.

A letter received today from one of
the readers, asks me to please tell
again my way of raising pansies from
seed. My way is very simple and some
may not like the way do but will tell
it as [ do.
First of course the seeds are sown
in boxes, soil sifted over them and
then pressed down with small piece
of wood, sprinkled carefully, and put
in a partially shaded place to remain
till seedlings are up Left in seed box
till the third leaf has come, then
transplanted to permanent; it is best,
though I think to let the little seed
lings remain in seed box longer, say
until they have several leaves, then
transplant, and before transplanting
water the box. When water has set
tied and the soil wet, with a case
knife cut square of the soil around
the little plant, and then take up the
Seeding and plant in a bed partially
shaded, where it gets the morning sun
until about half past ten, and then
again the late afternoon sun. The
best soil for pansies is we'll rotted ma
nure, leaf mold and soil that is wash
ed in the ridge and bitches during the
rainy season, it is the soil pansies de-
light in. The bed is made in a frame
the frame system is my hobby
boards nailed together and the frame
sunk in the ground leaving about two
inches out of the ground. When wa
tering the water does not run off the
bed, but on the contrary sinks down
in the soil. Plants are set eight inch
es apart. Once a week they are given
a dose of liquid manure, and if well
cared for the bed will soon be covered
and the soil entirely hidden, and such
a wealth of bloom and such large
blossoms. Sow seed now, right away,
and take my word for it, you will new.
err be without bed of pansies again.
