HERE'S A QUAINT IDEA.

Get an Italian vase made of red clay
and soak it in water for a couple Of
days. Then sprinkle timothy grass
seed over all the outside, and in week
or 10 days the seed will sprout and
grow until the whole vase is covered
with a coat of the loveliest, siftest
green imaginable. Fill the vase with
water as soon as the seeds are sprink-
led on the outside, and always keep it
filled, also sprinkling the growing grass
frequently. Put roses in the vase, and
the result is positively ideal. When
the grass begins to fade, in three or
four weeks, it can be peeled off and
fresh seeds planted as before

SOME OLD HOUSES.
Historic Landmarks In Washington
Gone


Gone.
The house where Daniel Webster
lived, in d street, between Fifth and
| Sixth streets, Washington, has been
relegated to it's proper sphere, for it is
now dedicated to the law, says the
New York Tribune. On it's steps he de-
liVered his memorable speech at mid
night in 1852, when Scott had won the
Presidential nomination from him. In
less than year afterward he died, and
among his papers was found a box
labeled Precious Documents" with
which there is so pretty a story con-
nected that, though it does not belong
either to law or politics, it is certainly
deserving of mention. When he was
in Portsmouth he went to call one
evening upon young woman with
whom ne was much in love, and, find
ing her busy untying skeins of silk,
he sat down to help her. Suddenly he
stopped, saying: Grace, we have been
engaged in untying knots; let us see if
we can tie one which will not unite in
a lifetime, and, partly tying a piece
of tape, in peculiar fashion, lie hand
ed it to her to finish. Of course she did

lose suit that he evidently had so
much at heart as this one? When the
box was opened at his death, it con-
tanned the early letters of his court
ship, and this bit Of tape, with the
knot still in it.
The Burns cottage that stood beneath
the shadow of the stately mansion has
disappeared, though like it's canny
Scotch owner. it held its ground for
many years. But the memory of Mar
cia Burns is still unchanged. and will
always linger near these two homes
that her grace and beauty had made
so happy. When John Van Ness, the

Yorker, married the lovely Marcia, not
many years after her father had sold

HE WAS A POOR ARTIST.

The Boston Transcript recalls story
of Edwin Forrest during one Of his
Boston engagements. A poor artist
called several times to see him at the
old Winthrop House. Each time he
brought a picture which he had paint
ed; he finally left it with note, stat
ing that he was in needy circumstances.
Forrest read the note, and took the
from the picture. It proved
to be a painting of himself as Sparta
Gus Forrest gazed upon it moment,
and then calculated to the clerk: Give
him SO. If he is as poor as his picture
he must be on the point of starvation"

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

Milk of different temperatures should
never be mixed.
With cows long in milk the butter
will come slowly.
The only way to keep cows is to keep
them perfectly clean.
The oleo law has been sustained in
West Virginia by the supreme court OF
that state. The law requires that oley
be colored pink, and for a violation of il
by selling it in the guise of butter fine
of $50 and costs was imposed. An ap-
peal affirmed the decision.
At ten cents bushel. potatoes do not
pay the grower, but they will pay the
duiryman who purchases them at that
price to feed his mich COWS. Farmers
" no are hauling potatoes out to the field
to be used as fertilizers will find 1t will
pay better to first put them through live
stock.
Water cools the milk much more
rapidly, says writer, than air will do.
and on this account the water setting
must 3e used in the winteS as well as
the summer. 1t would be simple mat
ter to set the water to be used out of
doors to get cold before putting it in
the tank.

TOLD FOR WON m.

The bicycle wedding which recently
electrified London, as the bride wore the
regulation white satin and veil, has had
a rival in the marriage of the young
Partisan who went to the church in a
carriage propelled by an electric motor.
The woman who wants to make herself
famous now seems to have little else left
her than balloon in which to tuck her
happy lover, the minister and couple
of witnesses.
Nine. Adam, the prominent Partisan
journalist, was driven into the work by
the unhappiness of her first experience
as wife. Her parents married her
when she was a girl of Is to a notary in
a provincial town. She left her hus-
band, and with the aid of George Sand
wrote herself into fame in Paris. Her
second husband was a senator and left
her fortune at his death. This enabled
her to found La Nouvelle Revue and to
establish the salon to which all the
celebrities of the French capital crowd
when she receives.
In trying to make point against veg
etarianism a member of the Ethno-
graphical society in Paris read paper
before that body a short time ago in
which he insisted that cannibals are eX-
ceedingly strong and vigorous, far ex-
ceedirg in strength those tribes not adj
dicted to such food. He said that the
savages who abstained from human food
rarely ate meat of any kind and were a
puny lot. The most curious part of his
argument was that the flesh of women
was much more digestible and far more
nutritious than that of men; many
tribes recognize the fact and eat only
women, until the supply gives out.

AGRICULTURAL HINTS
THE ROAD QUESTION.
New Progressive Farmer. sho,

How Progressive Farmers Should
View This Important Problem.
1t is only during seasons of abnormal
rainfall that the average farmer feels
disposed to manifest more than luke
warm interest in the subject of road i'm
provement. In most sections the set
ting of the roads late in the spring set
ties. for the time being, the general agi-
tation of this question. That it will bob
up again with renewed emphasis is just
as certain as that the roads will ''break
up in the fall, for neglect of highways
at any time only intensifies their bad
conditions. Eternal vigilance and
eternal agitation seems to be the price
OF good roads in this country. Itwould
seem that the most conservative man
would need only to open his eyes to the
miserable condition of country roads
in many. of the states during great
part of the year, and consider carefully
the annual cost of maintaining them
in such condition, to realize that road
making methods, and the system under
which they are applied, are seriously at
fault. We believe majority of the
farmers in the states referred to know
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-04-22

the present system to be wrong; other
wise they would show their faith by
their works; they would no longer feel
justified in performing S. worth of
labor on the farm one day, and $1.50
worth on the road the next. .
We have long stood with those who
think the road tax should be collected
in money. and have paid cash for several
years, but under the present system of
road management it cannot always be
applied to the best advantage.
In some sections even where great
claims were made for the naturally
good condition of the roads, the boun-
tiful crops sometimes lie unmoved
through period of high prices, simply
because the naturally bad condition of
the roads at certain seasons of the year,
forbids the hauling of loads. Farmers
study and plan, and work, to increase
production; they study the law of sup
ply and demand; they watch the mar
kets that they may be enabled to sell
their produce when prices are best:
in short, they, many of them, do their
part as well, as far as their own private
business is concerned. On the other
hand, the railroads and elevators are
ever ready to do their part, as far as
their private business of handling the
farmers produce is concerned. Under
these conditions what is to hinder the
intelligent farmer from always pushing
his produce into market at such time as
his best judgment dictates? Simply the
weakness of the connecting link-the
highway-the one thing over which the
people have full control. There are
times when the farm is practically
much farther from the nearest village
than the village is from the great mart
to which it is tributary, and until the
weak link is made strong, farming will
not be as generally profitable as it
otherwise would be.-The Epitomist.

II Much Lighter and Cheaper Than
Those Now in Use.

Those Now in Use.
Felix S. Rively, an electrical and
mechanical engineer of Pittsburgh, Pa,
has just made public an invention
which he recently completed, which
promises to revolutionize the methods
now in use for street car and moto-
cycle locomotion. Mr.. Rively's inven.
ton is an electric storage battery, which
will far surpass anything which is
now in use. A severe test was made
In Philadelphia last week which was
perfectly satisfactory in every respect
and demonstrated the advantages of
the invention.
The battery has several advantages
over the ordinary storage battery,
most prominent among which is the
fact that it needs charging only every
90 hours, whereas the ordinary battery
must be charged every six hours. An
other important feature is the fact that
Mr.. Riveley's invention weighs but $50
pounds, while the lightest now on the
market weighs $50 pounds. The latter
costs $1,000, while the one that has
just been patented can be sold for $3.50.
A company has been formed IN Phila-
delphia with a capital stock OF $5,o0O,-
600 and an immense plant will be erect
ed at once. to make the batteries. The
new Monongahela Street Railway com
pany, which was recently chartered TO
run between Brownsville and Believer
non, and of which Mr.. Riveley is pres
ident, has adopted the batteries, and
will be the first line in the country
to use them.
