RAILROAD PASSES.

With the beginning of the present
year an agreement becomes effective
between the principal railway com
panies of the United States whereby
no passes are exchanged between the
different lines for the use of en-
ployes and officials.
The small roads desired to cut off
all passes, including politicians, but
the big lines refused to agree to such
a proposal, because they need the
pass to influence legislators, judges
and other officials.
The new rule will initiate chiefly
against the railroad employe who in
the past has occasionally received a
pass to visit his old home or some
Their point.

HENRY c. PAYNE.

Henry c. Payne, who succeeds
Charles Emeory Smith as postmaster
general in the presidents cabinet,
has been a prominent politician in
Wisconsin for fifteen years past. Mr..
Payne's reputation as political
leader is similar to that possessed
by Quay and Platt in their respective
states. Mr.. Payne has been direc-
tor of the republican machine in
Wisconsin for years past, and as such
has met with no little opposition in
his own party. Several times have
they apparently knocked him out, but
each time the shifty Mr.. Payne has
managed to land upon his feet.
Mr.. Payne has been the especial
champion and lobbyist of the street
railways and other corporations in
Wisconsin, and was one of the receiv-
Crs of the Northern Pacific during
the panic. While serving in that ca
pacity he was charged by Brayton
Ives with squandering large sums OF
money belonging to the Northern Pa
cific in an illegal manner. After
fighting the case on technical grounds
for over a year and finally being com
PEELED to show cause in court why he
should not be removed, to forestal
such action, MIR. Payne, together
with the other receivers of the North
ern Pacific, resigned two weeks before
the date set for his appearance Ii

Mr.. Payne has long coveted cab

reputation. Sin that time the T,

drifts to the wood-pile and managed to
pull out several sticks of wood and drag
them into the schoolhouse. Before the
work was done they were nearly
frozen with the cold. Two of the young
er pupils cried themselves to sleep Oh
one of the benches near the stove, but
the others kept watch all night long in
the dark.
They'll surely come and dig US out
in the morning" said the teacher,
hopefully, but breakfast time came and
then dinner time, and there was no re-
lief.
By this time they were all very hun
cry, indeed. They had had nothing to
cat for "a hours. The two big boys,
wrapping themselves we'll in coats and
mittens, again burrowed outside, and
after a struggle, succeeded in reaching
the roof of the schoolhouse. Once out
Of the great drift, they found that the
snow had ceased falling and that the
sun was shining, although it was still
dark in the schoolhouse. But they
looked in every direction and there was
nothing but snow, snow, snow, and not
sign of relief. So they went
back, carrying the sad tidings to the
other pupils. They were all certain
now that they would starve to death be-
fore help could reach them. But hard
ly had they made up their minds to
this fearful fact when there came a
humping on the roof above them, and
then voices. The boys shouted an an
swer and then ran outside. Immediate
ly man came tumbling and rolling
down into the schoolhouse door. He had
on his back a bag of lunch, and the
hungry children went at it eagerly.
! Two men had succeeded in crossing
the snow-bound country on ski, OF
snowshoes, and thus the school was
rescued, although some of the pupils
could not be taken home until the fol
lowing day, when a road was finally
broken.

FOR EARLY SWEET PEAS.
FAN Preparation and Just How II
Should Be Made.

Fan Preparation and Just How IT
should BE Made.
For the first sowing of sweet peas
the ground should be prepared any
time before the ground freezes too
hard to work thoroughly, advises a
Rural New Yorker writer. Select a
warm, sunny spot sheltered from the
north and west winds, arranging if
possible to run the rows east and west.
Spade the ground deeply, working in a
liberal supply of well rotted manure,
and top dress with air slaked lime and
wood ashes, one quart of the former to
four quarts of the latter for twelve or
fifteen feet of double row. This should
be thoroughly worked into the soil,
and the bed should then be covered
with coarse manure or any kind of
mulch to prevent freezing too deeply.
Remove the mulch early in the
spring, and as soon as the surface is
sufficiently dry to work nicely rake
the soil until well fined and SOW the
seed. Sow in shallow drills five or six
inches apart and cover not to exceed
an inch in depth. Sow as soon as the
ground will admit of working, even if
the frost is not out below, as there
will be little if any danger of injury
from freezing. In this way the
blooms may be had long before they
can be obtained from the seed sown
for later blooming. Sowing for late
and continuous blooming requires far
different treatment.

not called as witnesses say that they

the witnesses tended to show that
the engineer was under the influence
of liouor. but the fireman who would
be most apt to know about it was
not called as a witness, although he
was asked for by one of the jury
men. the coroner making several
vague excuses for not calling him

were evidently DESTROYS of bringing

pany, the sooner the people find 1t

Bulbs usually suggest tulips, hya

The popularity of orchids gives adj
ditional interest to a note originally
made by Meehan's Monthly: 80 many
beautiful flowers drop their petals soon
after cutting that they are out of favor
with purchasers. The efforts of flo
rists are generally in the direction of
introducing such flowers as will hold
their own for some time after cutting.
1t is possibly one of the leading ad-
vantages of the carnation that it lasts
so long on the parlor table; and this
is found to be true with many species
of orchids which are coming into favor
for cutting purposes, quite as much on
account of this persistence as on ac-
count of their rarity and sweetness. In
this closely related family the cypri-
pedium is found particularly valuable.
There are not only persistence, sweet
ness and curious features in the forms
and colors of the flowers, but they also
have the long stems which enable the
American florists to use them without
the necessity of lavishly stemming
them"

The announcement that the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail
roads are about to reduce rates does
not come as a surprise to those who
have been watching the railrad situa-
ton. 1t is a bid for public favor, in
the hope of allaying opposition to
the great railroad merger that is be-
ing consummated. But those who
hope to see any material or perma'
nent reduction will be disappointed
AS soon as the matter becomes set
tied the old rates will be restored OF
increased, not by any direct raise in
the rates, but by simply juggling with
the classifications. The power to re-
duce rates implies the power to raise
them at will. and the public will not
be safe -~til the great corporations
are shorn of the power to fix the
rates of public service. This power
must be vested in a commission
elected by the people, and the PEG
pie will demand tnat such a commits
sion be created by the next legisla
ture of Montana.

Comparatively few people are aware
that the farm horse can profitably
srend much of his useful life with
cut shoes. The plough horse, the
t;ead power horse and, when the feet
are OF the average tourhness, the gem
eral purpose farm horse can go bare
loot with decided advantage.
II is a Jaw of nature that function
makes the organ, and this III remark.
ably true in the case OF the hoor of
tile horse; the horn of the barefoot
horse becomes tougher, more elastic,
and retains, or. ii 1t has been lost, even
regains its normal shape. the frog de-
velops and fulfills its Office of lessen
ing conclusion and spreading the quar-
tiers by rough use.
The carrying of heavy shoes also
imposes much work upon the muscular
system of the animal. which is en-
tirely unrequired In most farm work.
To estimate the amount of work done
In carrying Two pairs of shoes multi
MY the weight oi the iron lifted each
step by the number of steps in n mile.
and the product by the number OF
miles travelled in an ordinary DAYS
work. and the force required 20 lift
many tons will represent the amount
Of energy expended.
To prepare the hoofs for trial or
the barefoot condition remove the
'.1oes and shorten the horn If II has
been allowed to grow long, but do not
shorten quite as much as is done when
shoes are to be applied. as a certain
amount is TO be allowed for imnedi-
ate wear. Next with the rasp take off
not exceeding one-quarter inch Of the
outer edge of the wall; this will pre-
vent the wall of the foot from break
ing readily. as we'll as prevent il being
spit away from its union with the
sole Of the hoof.
Different animals feet will endure
different amounts of wear without the
protection of shoes; this variation is
directly with the condition of the foot
and the character and amount of work,
as well as the condition of the surface
over which the animal is obliged 10
travel. Certain diseased feet, as in
some cases of chronic founder, do very
poorly on hard roads without the pro-
lection of shoes, yet do well in field
work and are, finally. much benefited
by the change.-Dr. C. NJ. Miehener, in
Farm journal.
