The candidate, Hon. P. Wat
Hardin, is after, at this time, is
Hon. w. J. Stone. Mr.. Stone is in
Watts way, we would think from
his stump speeches, aside from
the declaration made by Mr..
Stone at Winchester that Mr..
Hardin had asked him to withdraw
from the race saying he would be
easily nominated. Mr.. Hardin is
not much in the race in Montgom-
cry for the reason first he failed
as the party nominee four years
ago, and because his party ALI
ances are not consistent with De
mocracy, according to the notions
Of our Democrats. The cause
is greater than the man" is the
sentiment Of our people. and
hence it is Stone or Gobel with
them.

Oxen Coming Back.

Rural Ne7O Y0ykey makes good point
when it comments on the position assum
ed by speaker before the Connecticut
State Board that oxen are coming back.
This is especially true in Maine. and
each year is Witnessing a marked increase.
They do a work which horses cannot
well do, and thrive upon ration less ex.
pensive than would be fed work horse.
Let the oxen come back, for it will
mean better days foi our agriculture and
plumper pocketbooks for our farmers.
Not many years ago at one of our State
Fairs when a magnificent town team was
paraded in front of the Presidents head
quarters. the owner of valuable and
speedy mare came into the crowd with his
whip under his arm, and after comment
ing on the beauty of the white faces, said
in a loud voice, "Well boys, go on
breeding the steers if you want to but
there's little mare over there which will
outsell this whole town team. Your slow
going cattle will soon wear you out. and
then, come and ride with mel" Long ago
the horse bubble for fictitious values
broke and to-day the men owning the
white faces are still smiling that they
chung to the steers. The whirligig OF
time is bringing the OK to the front, for
service and for dollars.

WHY House Plants Fail.

One of the chief reasons why plants dc
not thrive in the house, with the best o.
care. is due to the presence OF furnace OF
illuminating gas. House plants are much
better kept in room by themselves. Il
gas is used in lighting the house, use a
Kerosene lamp in this room, though it is
better for plants to be without light dur.
ing the hours of darkness.
Authorities lay great stress upon irregu.
lar watering as a cause OF poor growth,
but an even more importan, cause is the
result of allowing the earthern flower pot
in which the plants are planted to be ex
posed to the sun in the window From
this cause the fibrous roots of the plants
soon grow to the side of the pot, and in
full, Hot sunshine. these are baked. The
sides of the pots should be always shaded
either by placing them in box of sand OF
moss or by putting thin board edgewise
across the front of the shelf of plants
Another good way to screen them is by
placing the pot In one, two or three sizes
larger, filling up the space with moss OIL
sand.
Gardeners also say that the pots glazed oil
painted outside are better for house plants
than the common porous ones. The
reason is because the porous pots permit
a constant evaporation, which dries and
chills the roots.-Ve1O York 7rfbHHe,.

The Fishing Cats.

Among the many diverting stories told
in Dan Rice's recolections of Fifty
Years with Menagerie," in the February
I'd and 9th issues of The Youths Compan-
ion. is this one:
although cats have been trained to
perform in public, they are intrac,able,
artful creatures compared with dogs and
pigs. 1t is not that pussy lacks intel
ligence; indeed, think the shrewdness
and will-power of cats keep them SO much
out of the profession
1.-The cat seems to know that if she
Just WON'T the effort to train her will be
given up soon, and as she likes her ease
and cares naught for the hollow reward
of human applause, she usually Just
doesn't Hence have little to tell of
cat performers although once trained a
cat orchestra and | now mention the
tribe only because | want to tell of a
family of cats at Long Branch that is
worthy to perform before enlightened
American audiences, although they are
not in profession.
"These cats are one 'Malty' and her
two children; they belong to Mr.. William
Seaman of Branchport. Once or twice
each sunny day they go to float beside
his boat-house. Seating themselves at
the edge of the float, they patiently await
the coming of shoal Of minnows, and
when the tiny fish approach within easy
reach, each cat darts paw into the water
and endeavors to throw some out upon
the float, which they usually succeed in
doing. Then they devour their catch.
Alas. the three frequently fight over the
largest of the catch, and MIR. Seaman is
made to feel ashamed that Malty has not
instructed her children in the graces of
department.
!" 'Malty's fishing school daily attracts a
throng of deeply interested idlers. For
me, watch the pussies and the crowd
and wonder that some young Snowman,
as enterprising as | believe | was forty
years ago. does not try to give, under
canvas. an exhibition of cats catching
minnows.
