Various state societies have accom-
plished so much good In the way o;
preserving and marking places OF
scenic and historic interest that con-
gress has been asked to create a ma
Itional society. The Companion has
already mentioned the rescue Of the
Palisades. In Massachusetts most OF
the spots conspicuous in colonial and
revolutionary history have been
marked by suitably inscribed tablets,
and similar work is in progress in Vir-
ginia. Such efforts make a strong APP
peal to the imagination; they also
perform a national service in keeping
the patriotic deeds of the fathers before
the eyes of the children.

Cooley THE LAWS

The arrangement for codifying the
laws is another matter for which the
session is entitled to great credit. 9th
ers have wrestled with the problem,
but none had the courage TO solve 1t.
Under the terms of the act the state
will within three years have a code of
laws that will be q model and will be
so perfectly arranged that he who runs
may read and understand.

work when complete will not exceed SIS

The Zionist movement for the Jew
ish colonization of Palestine meets a
serious check in the sultan's decree
that no Jew who enters that land shall
remain more than three months, or
be permitted to acquire landed prop
erty. The London Spectator refers this
action of the Turk to Russian diplom-
acy, which scents in Zionism a move
ment OF Germany to acquire a sphere

owner of a sheep ranch, and Miss
Louisa Morrison, were married at mid
night, while seated in a sheep wagon.
The ceremony was witnessed by the

ventional wedding, but he and the
bride wanted something unusual. AS
soon as the knot was tied they started
for Lambert's ranch, twenty miles

l. CONSIDERED.

The appointment of the committee to
Investigate the public institutions was
also a grand thing for the state. The
testimony adduced by this committee
and the valuable light shed by the re-
port upon the m in which the
public institutions have been conduct
ed have already brought forth good
fruit in the enactment Of laws to cure
~long-existing evils, and besides this
the report will furnish a guide for
other reforms of like character for
years to come.
Every bill introduced was given a
fair consideration, and every bill was
disposed Of separately, upon it's merits.
Not a bill was allowed TO die because
of lack of consideration. Then for the
first time in the history of the state
both houses dispensed with the services
of the time-honored sitting commit
tee," which has for so many years and
in so many states been the instrument
through which the death of very many
meritorious measures has been accom-
plished.
The foregoing is a very brief sum-
mary of the important and wholesome
legislation enacted. Every bill that
was permitted to become a law is pos
sessed of merit, and in the aggregate
lS9 bills and thirty joint resolutions
were passed.
Pierre, March Joint investigating
committee submitted a voluminous re-
port this afternoon. The report as to the
findings of facts as is identical with the
synopsis Of the testimony heretofore
furnished by your correspondent but of
course the Language. is judicial.
1t is extremely free from partisan
reflections. 1t says nothing incrimi-
mating was found against DIR. Meade
and c. w. Ainsworth. He Is not found
guilty of theft of state property but
ms system OF bookkeeping is censured.
The facts heretofore published rela-
tive TO the board of charities and cor
rections are brought out emphatically
and the members of the board are
scored for pretty pilfering and are held
responsible for most of the irregulari-
ties.
The committee also, but in mild lam
guage, censures Governor Lee and pub
lie Examiner Taylor for bringing such
grave charges against citizens OF the
state upon slight evidence.
Martin, populist, made a desperate
tight for a complete exoneration of Lee
and Taylor for the insertion of some
language ~derogatory to DR.. Meade.
-
Pierre, March 11.-Goyernor Herreld
veto of the bill to permit each member
of the legislature to name ten free SIN
dents to the educational institutions
was based on the idea that such a
privilege would result in the scholar
ships being made political trading
stock, that it would give those able to
pay an advantage over the poor. as tho
former would be more likely to receive
the favors, and that deserving students
would be crowded out OF institutions
by a food of political favorites who
would have the right of way under ,be
terms Of the bill. The veto was sns-
tanned by an almost unanimous vote.

WHAT THEY KNEW OF LINCOLN.

A newspaper prints some answers
to questions asked concerning Lin.
coin at a written examination of can
didates for the New York police force.
The applicants were asked to write
all they knew about Lincoln, and the
following was the result in two
cases:
Il will tell yous aull that I know
about Abraham Lincoln that he has
bin a Presented of the New York
City.
HAS lost his life while boiling
pirshing (holding position).
"He was at last assinated out of
the effects of which he died.
"The person who shot Mr.. Lincoln
was supposed to be a Southern Con-
federate named Chateau for this of
Tense he was tried and convicted
and sentenced to be be-headed."
Another wrote:
"Kind Gentlemen, in reference to
the life of Abraham Lincoln would
say that l am not p~earsOnaly acuan
ted with him he was Clurk in a gro
Gerry store and could lick any of the
village boys He at one time had a
very bad friend who at the end killed
him.
"He was the President that freed
the South and let the Donkey go
fred and he was shot by Garfield
this is all that I renber of prestended
Lincoln so L will close hoping that I
will pass"

else in watering the water will all
flow off to the softer dirt at the sides,
leaving the roots in the center as
dry as ever. Water from now on
only when the soil really begins to
get dry, then give in such abundance
that every atom of dirt is wet.
Plants do not want water until they
are thirsty, and then they want a
good, satisfying drink. If no more
is given until they are again thirsty
for water, the soil will never sour.
Watering at the right time and in
sufficient quantity is more than half
the battle"
Then when your plants begin to
grOw-which they will soon do when
over their water dyspepsia-and
when they begin to form flower buds,
it istime to begin giving them ex-
ira rations. That means liquid ma
nure. Do not give it to weak or
slowly growing plants do not give
it over once a week, and be sure the
liquid manure is diluted with clean
soft water until of a light brown
color, about the shade of not over
strong tea. That will give you
big, handsome foliage and plenty of
large, richly colored flowers. A
tight keg or large jar half filed
with harnyard manure, will supply
this liquid tea for months. Fill to
the brim with water. 1t becomes
as black as lye, and is about as
strong; but If it is diluted as stated,
it can harm nothing. Or as a pleas
anter substitute to handle, you may
get some of the prepared flower
fertilizers in package form. They
are clearly, convenient and have di-
rections which T easily followed
Try my advice three months, then
report"
They took the advice. Result
End of first week, plants "looked
better" End of month all were
growing, and of good, fresh, healthy
color. At end of three months,
nearly every plant wasi in full bloom.
Moral: Look to the roots of your
plants, and be sure you know when
and how to give water.-Lora S.
LaManCe, in Vick's Magazine.

THE TRAGEDY OF CITY LIFE,

Bishop Henry G. Potter, of New
York City, writes, in the Easter
(April,) issue Of ~"sucoess," of tina
drift of youth from the country to
the city, and finds that there ara
more failures than achievements ~
d result Of the migration. He says
''It is true that the reason for
such failure as this often lies in the
man himself, but it is also true that
in many cases the mans chief faults
that he has the average human weak
ness, and only limited and unframed
W with which to combat cUndi-
tions of exceptional difficulty. The
man must live. The e~xigencies of
life press down upon him and crowd
him into paths that lead to demorali-
zation and perhaps to outlawry. The
undisclplined country lad bids good
Dy to his home, and, strong IN hope,
comes up to the city. There is dan
ger that, a few years afterwards, his
character and body will have been
impaired or broken by the struggle.
What d payment is this TO his mother
for her love and care What has be,
come of her sOlace in old age? Is
there no tragedy in this? 10 me
there is nothing more deeply tragic
in American life. At home, in his
own community, the boy would
probably have done fairly we'll. In
the big city his strength was not
equal to the opposition and the
temptation. In this connection l
have heard used the we'll worn ex-
preston, the survival of the
tittest.' We can regard with COM
placency the application of this prin-
ciple to lower forms of life, but it
seems a heartless principle to apply
to our fellow-beings, to boys and
girls, to young men and women who
not have had the moral and
physical vitality of some others, but
who still have souls"
