Among the ~inalienabae rights of
man, SO our fathers have taught us.
are these three, Life liberty and
the pursuit of happiness" observes
Professor David Starr Jordan, in the
New York Independent. So long as
a man is alive and free, he will, in n
way or another, seek that which gives
him pleasure. But the pursuit Of
happiness is an art inlitself. To seek
it is not necessarily to find it, and
failure in the pursuit of happiness
may destroy both liberty and life.
The basis of happiness is abundance
of life, and abundance of life is a real
thing, that cannot be slammed or
counterfeited.

The Music Cure is the Latest.

Fashionable physicians in many of
the large cities are dealing with q
class of patients by what they term
the music cure. 1t is a worthy sue
cessor of the color cure, which held
sway a couple of years back and was
not hall a bad idea, asst often soothed
the mind. It is said that the music
cure is antique. for a search through
the books of the ancients has revealed
many illusions to the curative power
of music, in certain ailments mainly
of a character. 1t was used
in times of pestilence and plague to
divert the minds Of the people from
the disaster which threatened them.
1t is said that music incites the action
of the heart, and hal influences the
blood circulation. 1t also stimulates
the activity of the skin. The health
and steady nerves Of the Germans are
cited as proofs of the medicinal
powers of music; and while we may
not give it full credence, we must at
least admit that nobody was ever in
jured BY the sound of music, so ply
sicians are safe in recommending it.

At Ilsenberg, in the Hartz Noun
tains, in Germany, l investigated
thoroughly DIR. Herman Lietz's school.
1t represents strongly the reaction
against the machine method of con-
trolling a public-sehool system. DIR.
Lietz has ffty-fve pupils, represent
ing nearly IS many countries. The
school is en- q farm of eighty acres,
containing orchard, garden, cereal
fields and workshop. The principal
building is an old powder mill. The
work of converting it to a school-house
was done by the boys. The boys do
the farm work and everything that is
to be done. Their studies begin at s
o'clock in the morning and at the end
of an hour they exercise. They re-
turn to books and after a period of
study they have q luncheon. After
another hours study they have more
play. DIR. Lietz has something new
for the boys every hour. and the way
they rushed at their work and at their
play was remarkable. The afternoon
is spent in the workshop and out of
doors. The result of the system is
that the boys are not dull for q minute.
Their minds or bodies are always at
work.--Dean Jackman, in Chicago
Tribune.

Practical Onion Culture.

Onions, like some other farm crops,
require q large amount of labor tc
give the best results. But if given
good cultivation and the weeds are
kept down, they make nice large
onions. On the average farm, onions
are grown from sets, but the best are
produced from seed, as there are not
enough sets to go round. I have
grown them from seed and have ex.
p~erimented on a small scale with
planting the little ones the second
year. This plan gave good returns,
but / could not get enough little
onions.
The soil for onions should be fertile,
sandy, well u~nderdrained so that it
will not pack after every rain. It is
best to apply a good coating of barn
yard manure, but a great objection is
that it always contains a large amount
of weed seed. A fair amount of sand
is an advantage if the soil is sufici-
emily retentive to resist drouths.
Begin to get the soil in shape two
or three years beforehand. First SOW
as much clover as possible, to increase
the fertility of the soil. Also plant
hoed crops to kill out as many weeds
as possible, for weeds are n of the
greatest barriers to success. Barn
yard manure and hen manure are good
fertilizers to be applied before plant
ing. For the onions to make o good
growth, the ground must be plowed
IS early as possible, about the last of
March, and not later than the 30th.
They will make a crop planted a
month later, but they will get OILY
half IS large. The ground cannot be
in too fine q condition and should be
narrowed and dragged several times.
I get the ground as free from clods
and trash Al possible, frequently rak-
ing it with q common garden hand
rake.
To plant the seed I use a garden
drill. which marks the next row, has
an adjustable shovel and plants uni
formly. I drill the rows about thir-
teen inches apart. planting six to ten
seeds per foot. I would advise every
farmer who plants very much garden
to buy one of these drills, which sows
any sized garden seed. / cultivate the
onions as o as they are large
enough. The ground roc packs ano
the weeds make an early start. They
should be plowed at least after every
rain, as the ground then runs to
gether and crowds the young plants.
They also have to be hand hoed, as
the weeds cannot be plowed out of
the row. For getting rid of these
weeds / sometimes use q common
knife. It is very hard work, what
ever is used.
The pillow We use runs astride the
row and is a double wheel hoe with
double hoes. It has several attach
ments, some cutting horizontally and
some cutting vertically. The former
are best for cultivating the plants
when small, because they throw the
dirt away from the row. Whom
the bulbs begin to enlarge, the latter
may be usad. The onions are pulled
as soon as the tops turn yellow.
Then they are topped and dried and
laid away on shelves so they will not
heat.-C. G.. Beals, in American Agri
culturist.

A. r. Lever Commended.


Please allow me short space in
your columns to give the readers cf
the Dispatch the brief but brilliant
career of A Frank Lever, who was
nominated in the recent primary for
the House, which furnishes another
proof of the assertion that "push and
pluck" will bear down all opposition
and crown all effort with success.
Left an orphan at four months old,
he has by sheer force of will and
brain pushed his way up the ladder
until now his last effort for fame and
his first for the suffrage of his peo-
pile, results in his triumphant nomi-
nation by the largest vote ever given
q candidate in the history of the
county. 1t is remarkable that man
note quite twenty-six years old with
out any large or wealthy family con-
nectiop, with no political prestige
and only limited personal acquaint
ance in the county should receive
upon his first asking over two thirds
of the vote cast in the primary. The
like has never happened before. No
mau in the county has ever gotten
twenty-five hundred and twenty-six
OF fellow citizens to think him the
proper man to represent their in
terests 10 the Legislature of the
State; and the victory is the more
remarkable when it is remembered
that his opposition consisted of four
of the best and strongest men the
county affords.
We don't think the people will have
cause to regret their choice. He has
never in all his life lost fight or failed
to win in any competition test, and
we think he will win laurels both for
himself and his county in the House.
Both Representatives are we'll
chosen and the two Franks will likely
hold high the banner of old Lexipg-
ton. Admirer.
