JOKERS IN OFFICE.

In Some Localities They Garry Their
Monkey Inclinations> Too Far.
The American people are immensely
fond of a good joke. and the practical
joker pleases them best of all. Z.
Among our most prominent jokers
are the street commissioners of the
many cities scattered throughout the
land. They are awfully clever, don't
you know. The taxpayers give them
large salaries to look after the COM
fort and convenience of the people who
use the thoroughfares for the purpose
of getting about from one point to an
other. The people, in this case, in
clude wheelmen along with others.
But do the commissioners always look
after the condition of the streets to the
best of their ability and to the greatest
degree of comfort of all concerned?
Well, hardly. They are really not to
be taken seriously. The mere fact that
they are elected or appointed to do
certain things is no reason why they
should do it, so they think.
The fact of the matter is, public Of
fee is a public joke. They 'jolly'' the
people, while the appropriation for
street cleaning and repairing goes!
Tell us, We winged winds, where, oh,
where, does much of it go?
And the country road supervisor, or
committeeman, is smaller but more
numerous JOKER No one really expects
him to look after the roads, and so he
never surprises or disappoints them.
But there is such thing as carrying
a joke too far. The dirty street, bad
road joke, has about reached the limit.
People are turning from jest to earnest.
They are tired of "iooling."
Every man who rides bicycle is seri-
Gus when he says he wishes clean.
smooth streets and good, hard roads.
Every thoughtful, humane owner and
driver of horses insists on the same
thing. Every farmer who does not care
to sink the profits of his fields in the
muddy roads to market wants better
highways. Every up-to-date thinking
person is in favor of them.
They are going to take more serious
view of the duties of those who are sup
posed to lcok after the streets and high
ways. People want good roads, and
they will endeavor to employ practical,
intelligent business-like means of get
ting them.
How are the roads and streets in your
vicinity GOOD Roads. Z &

Tomato Culture In Europe.

Notwithstanding the fact that to-
1nato sauce has been known and appre-
ciated for many years as one of the
great delicacies of an Englishmans
'table-as the readers of the writings
of Dickens may very well remember, in
the case where mutton sauce and to-
mato sauce played such an important
part in breach of promise case-it is
only during the last few years that this
fruit has come into general use some
thing akin to its popularity in America.
1t is said that large glass houses are
erected expressly for their cultivation.
The plants are grown in large pots, and
are said to be raised very successfully
in this way. the plants producing much
more abundanty than when grown in
benches, as with us. They are, how
ever, abundantly supplied with ma
rure.

OUTLET DRAIN.

Ing walls, as shown in Fig. 1. At the
bottom of every grade cut an outlet to
the roadside to drain off all water that
flows down the grades, Fig. 2 shows
such an outlet. The great road-de-
stroyer is water that is. not properly
turned from the surface. Make such
trench along the middle of the road
work that would be not at all expen-
sive-and then properly round the sur
face. The result will be that no water
can remain on the surface, and none
can stand in the ground to make hor-
ror of mud after every rain and long

ONIONS FROM SEED IS
a Profitable Crop When Properly
Planted and Cared For.

.
Planted and Cared For.
{ The largest and best onions arc
grown from seed. While they can hard
~ be considered certain crop, yet
when anything like a fair crop is Sc
cured they are q profitable crop to you.
On account of the work and cost of
keeping the crop clean it is quite an
item to select piece of clean land and
for the same reason only well rotted and
thoroughly fined manure should be
used. To get the best results the land
must be rich. It is almost waste of
seed to try to grow onions in anything
but rich soil
Wood ashes, poultry manure, guano
OF thoroughly rotted stable manure can
be used as fertilizers, taking pains to
work it thoroughly in with the soil.
There islittle danger of getting the soil
too rich. .' =.
It is important that the seed be
sown early. Securing the seed and
manuring of the land should be done in
good season, so that at the first favor
able opportunity in the spring the seed
can be sown. Have the soil as fine as
possible when the seed is sown in order
to secure a good termination of the
seed and vigorous start of the plants
to grow. Be sure that the seed is OF
good quality. If the seeding is to be
done by hand, work out the rows about
eight inches apart and make the drills
about one inch deep. Sow the seeds as
early as possible, two or three seeds to
the inch. 1t is quite an item to get the
seed distributed evenly in the drills.
The advantage in using the drill is that
the seed can be sown and covered more
evenly with less work.
Some growers, in order to get the
plants started earlier and to some extent
at least lessen the work of keeping the
crop clean at the start, SOW the seed
thickly in a bed or frame, and, after
they are well up, transplant them into
rows where they are to grow.
AS when the seed is sown it is i'm
portant to have the soil in a good filth.
Work out the rows and then lay the
plants not over two inches apart. It is
better to use plenty of plants and thin
cut than to have vacant places in the
rows.
If the land is not so rich as it should
he it will be good plan to scatter a
good dressing of wood ashes or CONNER
cial fertilizer over the surface. The
onion feeds very near the surface, and
the necessary cultivation will work the
fertilizer sufficiently into the soil.
A fine, sharp-toothed, steel rake is one
of the best implements with which to
begin the cultivation. Properly used it
will thoroughly fine the surface and de-
stroy the weeds. It is important to be-
gin the cultivation as soon as possible,
for in this way the weeds will be easier
kept down. 1t will he an exceptional
case, however, when hand wedding will
not be necessary. But careful use of
the rake and cultivator in good season
will greatly lessen the work of hand
wedding. With this, as with many
other crops, it is best to commence in a,
small way, and increase the acreage
after experience has been acquired.-St.
Louis Republic.

Keeping Up Hedge Fences.

cording to the way they are kept. A
well-trimmed hedge is ornamental and
becomes better every year, but if neg
lected and allowed to grow without at
tention it is very unsightly. Tie first

The business man or working man Who
gets rundown and in ill-health from over.
work, needs the advice and treatment Of a
physician who is famous for the thousands
of cases he has cured, and not for the
thousands of dollars he las charged. In
DR.. K. v. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y, he will
find that kind of a physician. For thirty
years DR.. Pierce has been chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgi-
cal Institute, at Buffalo.
He is the disco"erer OF a wonderful
medicine known as DR.. Picrcc's Golden
Medical Discovery. 1t is a marvellous med
icine for broken down men and women. 1t
whets the appetite. puriAcs the blood, makes
the digestion perfect and the liver active.
Through the blood it acts directly on every
organ Of the body, driving out impurities
and disease germs. 1t is the great blood
maker, Hesh-builder and nerve-tonic. 1t
cures nervous prostration and exhaustion,
malaria, liver troubles, rheumatism, blood
and skin diseases and % per cent. of all
cases Of consumption, weak lungs, splitting
of blood, lingering coughs end kindred all
mcnts. When you ask a dealer for the
Golden Medical Discovery" insist upon
having it. A dealer is not a physician and
has no right to advise some substitute.
When the trouble is of long standing
write to DR.. Pierce, who will answer let
| ters from sufferers without charge. Very
serious or complicated cases, or those need
ing surgical treatment, sometimes find it
necessary to come to the Invalids' Hotel
and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, for per-
sonal treatment and care. DR.. Pierce can
be addressed there.

sheets. This done, the latest per.
formers mount the wagons and the
heavy ones holding the "big top"
lumber after.
The station is a busy scene. Di-
rectly a wagon arrives its load is push
ed into the car by means of a gang or
runway. This is easily done in most
instances, but a few of the bulky ar
rivals are not easy Of disposal. Chief
of this living freigbtis Old Badly, the
big elephant, who is said to be the
largest Of his kind in captivity. Old
Badly views the runway with doubt.
He discovered a better way of bestow-
ing his mammoth proportions in the
car. He lifts his fore feet to the
side, moves them carefully within as
far as they will reach, then bends his
huge shoulders and slowly wriggles
and. rolls his bulk into the conveyance
provided for him. Some bruises he
received upon his shoulders when try
ing to gain entrance by mean of the
runway taught him the efficacy and
immunity of this method. e
Someone of feminine mind is skcp-
tical about the pacing. She believes
that tents can be set up by dexterous
use of side poles and laced by pulleys,
and can be taken down again in a brief
hours space, but she knows chat the
packing of trunks is q tedious, intri-
cate process and wants to know If it
can be accomplished with any success
in 60 seconds. The wardrobe trunks
of circus performers are always packed:
These women have learned the art of
economizing not only space, but time,
and their trunks are always packed.
When they remove theirgaudy, abbre-
waited skirts and their equslly abbre-
waited corsages at night aftera perfor.
nance, they never fail to fold and
pack them away carefully. It is sur
prising how little "trouble" this is
when it becomes a matter of habit and
the circus ladies think it is an art pre-
servative of their toilets. "Our
trunks are always packed" they say.
An hour was consumed in putting
up Ringling's circus a week ago.
Perhaps 10 minutes more were needed
for taking it down last night.-&.
