boarded up with two inch hemlock,
cypress or other durable kind of lum-
Der or a single course of brick If pre-
ferred. Nine or ten inches is deep
enough for this soil. The beds may be
filed up to that point with cinders,
coarse gravel or brickbats, to afford
free drainage and discourage the in
roads of moles, earthworms, etc. In
this case the steam or water heating
pipes must of necessity be carried
about the walls of the house above
the plant levels.
With a proper air temperature rang
ing from 40 to 40 degrees at night to
50 or Go degrees in the shade during
the day, the soil will remain in a cool
and moist condition, just suited to the
needs of lettuce, for considerable time
with the minimum of attention. The
addition of q layer of fresh manure
four inches or more deep, under the
soil would be of very doubtful advan-
tage in the case of lettuce. Radishes
find somewhat higher soil tempera.
ture congenial, but quickly become
drawn and weak if the average atmos.
pheric temperature is raised much high,
er than the figures above given.
A house IS by 100 feet can be safely
heated to the required temperature with
hot water circulation by conveying the
flow through Il three inch pipe near the
top of the house to the rear end, theh
forking and dividing it into seven one
and Il half inch returns, three Oh the
south and four on Tie north wall, or il
steam is used. the respective diameters
may be two and Il half and one and n
quarter inches for the flow and returns.
The three-quarter span house running
east and west is by far the best plan.
Whether the short span is the best
placed south CT north is still matter
of opinion. Nine out Of ten houses are
built with the long slope to the south.
The only special advantage claimed for
the other arrangement is that the
houses are cooler in summer.
When raised benches are used, the
distance of the pipes from the benches
is q matter Of little Importance. AS n
slope must be maintained the pipes are
much nearer the benches at one end of
the house than the other in any case.

Followed His Advice.

One day couple of girls went to tire
Roper livery stable and asked for a
gentle horse, as they wanted to drive
out in the country few miles. The
man gave them one and told them the
horse would be all right if they kept
the rein from hts tail. When they re
turned in the evening he asked them IL
they had any trouble. "Oh. no." said
one; ''there was one little shower, but
we had an umbrella and we took turns
at holding it over the horses tail, 50
that there was not a drop of rain
touched it, and we got along all right"
That explains the ,dazed look the liv-
eryman has been wearing.-HickmaH

presidents Ate with Their Knives.


All our earlier presidents ate with
their knives. The stately George Wash
ington, the irascible John Adams, the
original Thomas jefferson, the learned
James Madison and the popular James
Monroe-each shoveled in his food with
his knife. John Quincy Adams was
the first president who ate with his
fork. And his wife felt 1t necessary to
explain to the guests at the White
House that "Mr Adams had learned to
eat with his fork while in France and
that he couldn't overcome the habit"
Andrew Jackson restored the "repub-
lican simplicity" of eating with his
knife. All Of those we have named also
poured their tea or coffee into their
saucers to cool it. 1t is related OF Gen.
eral Taylor that when he was presi-
dent he could be seen in the streets Of
Washington early in the morning with
market basket on his arm going from
one butcher to another and bargaining
for steak or a rib roast. II he had
bargained less persistently, he might
have served out his term, for we have
heard it was owing to the inferior
quality of the cherries he ate on the
Fourth of July, 1850, that sickness at
tackled him and he died on the 9th of
July.-Utica observer.

Detroit, Mich, May "A shocking
railroad catastrophe occurred about 8
o'clock last evening at the grade cross
ing of the Grand Trunk railroad and
Garfield avenue, as a result of which
at least eight persons lost their lives
and nearly a score were wounded.
A swiftly moving passenger train
plowed through a crowd of Sunday ex-
cursionigt5, throwing them in every di-
rection.
1t can rs climax to a Polish fes-
tival held yesterday at st. Josaphat's
church and Harminia hall, which was
attended by about 1000 Polish excur-
sionists from Toledo. While boarding
their train to return home a Grand
Trunk flyer from Chicago, via Durand,
crashed into the crowd Of people and
created terrible havoc, killing five out
right and wounding others so that they
died at various hospitals shortly after
wards.
Hands, legs and even one CHASTITY
head were lying about on the ground
near their former owners. Pieces of
clothing and small bundles were scat
tered In all directions. Peering into
the faces of the dead and injured were
frantic people, endeavoring to identify
them as their friends.
The Grand Trunk train was stopped
about block beyond.
All the city ambulances were in
stantly summoned The victims were
taken to Harper, Grace, st. Mary's,
Red Cross and Emergency hospitals
and the Sanitarium. A number of peo-
pie who had minor injuries were at
tended to in neighboring houses.
Patrolman Fred Schultz of the
Chene street station. who was an eye
witness to the accident, declares he is
sure that the on-coming train did not
whistle. In further describing the ac-
cident he said:
at was a horrible sight when that
train got past. Bodies were piled up
for many feet, some as far as q block
away. The engine threw most Of them
towards the west--that is, those that
were not crushed underneath"
