INFLUENCE ON THE YOUNG.

Referring to the investigations of the police department of Kan sas City, tho Journal states edi- torially that boys and youths have been permitted to enter the gam bling houses and playor gamble no effort being used to prevent anyone from gambling as long as they had money. The Journal then adds:
 Tt IS pretty certain that the confirmed gambler will find some s AsA4 se inalllaa his passion Once . gambler, always q gambler, 1t is said with much truth. It is be- cause of tho relentless hold of the habit that the young men and boss should be especially guarded. lt x much more important to pre- vent tho acquisition of tho habit than to cireumvent it's indulgence when 1t is once formed. "
 How true is this, not only of gambling but Of the drink habit, alse Tho open licensed or pro- gambling house. as well as the saloon, is always q tempta- ton ln tho way of boys who per haps enter the first time out of curiosity, then gradually, as per mittcd to become accustomed to tho surroundings and the hardened els iE,saseettei's begin to take the first lessons which lead slowly but surely on until they, too, become confirmed gamblers and drunk ards.
 Here is where the great evils of these institutions arc most mani fest, especially where the pro- priators and the officials permit youths to enter their dcns and gamble and drink in open viola ton of the law prohibiting minors from entering and remaining in such places. By preventing young men from becoming gam blers and drunkards we would, in time, abolish gambling houses and saloons.

FRUITS FOR SPRING FLAMING.

FRUITS FOR SPRING PLANTING.
 In planting strawberries upon residence lots for home use, care should be taken to have the soil free from roots and stone and to have the surface soil worked fine and mellow. For such planting the rows should be two and a half feet apart and plants set one foot apart in tho rows. To secure q good bed for another year plants should be procured and set this spring, the earlier the better, and for tho first season peas or some other early vegetable can be proitably planted between the rows, and the vines left for mulching.
 With proper care, pains being taken to Stir the surface of the soil around plants during the sum mer, especially if we should have a dry season, new plants will set from the runners and fine bed in what is termed matted rows" will he ready for bearing next season. For open field culture the ground should be prepared about the same but the rows should be at least three feet apart to admit of cultivation with horse and fine tooth cultivator.
 Raspberries and blackberries should also be set this spring to get any return next year. They should be set at least four feet apart in the row and the rows six feet apart for field culture and when thus set potatoes, sweet corn or some other similar crop can safely be planted between the rows. For planting in the gar dens it is quite a common thing to plant the rows along the fence or in some corner of the garden, and they can be planted closer to- gether, pains being taken to tie the vines up to stakes or trellis as they grow. A mulching of leaves straw, coarse manure or other litter is always an advantage to these fruits as such mulching helps to keep the soil loose and retain moisture in the ground-ln fact mulching is good for all k'tds of fruit vines or trees, and instead of burning leaves and other litter they should be care : Silly preserved and placed upon the surface around trees and vines.

Speaking of Duestrow, who was recently hanged for the mur- der of his wife and child, the Post-Dispatch reads the following brief temperance lecture: "The case should serve as a warning to men who are indulging in what the Indian so truthfully calls fire water Let those beware who know that drink arouses in them all the vile passions. Duestrow's is not the only one. It was but a duplication of many similar crimes. caused bY taking q step too far when dallying with the enemy that steals away the brains and manhood"

One rather unusual feature about
the recent storm was the loss
among horses on the range, says the
Mandan On. d. Pioneer, Usually
horses stand the rigors of a cold,
binding snowstorm better than
cattle, and after such a storm the
stockman's concern is about the
horned stock and sheep, generally
feeling that the horses are better
able to care for themselves. S. P.
Weeks, manager of the Riverside
Ranch company, says that during
the late storm horses farod much
worse than cattle. Mr.. Weeks says
he started out from his ranch the
day after the storm with twenty
eight men and rode all the country
owe between his place and the Can
non Ball, and while the loss of cat
tie was comparatively small, the
loss of horses vas large. In one
coulee they found thlrty-five dead
horses belonging to ]. H. Hagar.
In another they found a blnch Of
l75 head unable to get out, and all
would have persisted but for the
timely arrival OF the party, who dug
them out. AS it was, seventeen in
the bunch died from the effects of
the storm.
