REGULARS AROUSED.
AppIicants For Federal Positions lgnor- isg Organization and Carrying Con-
 tests Direct to President.

Republican party leaders are becoming aroused over the num- bers of applicants for federal positions in Arkansas, who are announcing their intention of carrying their cases to the Presi- dent, regardless of the state com mittee's action. And to make matters worse, reports from <Washington are all to one effect, Chat the President will not follow the committees recommenda- tions entirely, but use his own judgment and the result may be mixed lot of appointments, representing both sides of the present party controversy,
 The State Republican, which is allied with the Remmel wing, ex- plains the appointment of 5. w. Andrews for postmaster at Wal nut Ridge over c. w. White, who had been recommended by the State committee, as due to the fact that White is cashier of one of the banks there and the postal department has made it a policy not to appoint bank of- ficers to postmasterships on ac- count of the money-order system, which is supposed in sense to compete with the banks.
 James P. Parker of Fort Smith, a candidate for marshal in the western district and anti-Powell Clayton republican is being championed by Senator William Warner of Missouri, who stands evry close to the president.
 H. l.. Remmel will undoubted- ly be endorsed by the state com mittee for marshal in the eastern, district, but Fowler has an-
 need that he. will ignore this
 I'd carry his cause to the
 IlIe House.
 B. A. Elliott, register of the Camden land office is another Republican who is ignoring the machine and on Saturday called on the President.
 And so it is with Frank You mans and score of others who might be mentioned. Just what the President is going to do, no one knows. As in Mississippi, it may result in a score or more of good Democrats being honored by a Republican president. The !, Arkansas delegation in congress are supporting Roosevelt on his canal and railway rate legisla- tion and he may turn few good plums their way in recognition of their services.

1866. No more fitting time than the
anniversary of the loss of the cause so
dear to their souls could have been cho-
sen for the perpetuatiOn Of the memory
Of their heroes.
Women, aud women alone, inaugu-
rated the custom. Men, more reserved
in the expression Of the sentiments of
their hearts, might permit their de-
parted comrades quietly TO become a
part of the general history, but women
would not have it so. The Southern
States fell quickly into line, and then
the custom found its way into the
Northern States. But 1t is to General
John 4. Logan. distinguished soldier,
and no less distinguished as a states
man, then commander OF the Grand
Army Of the Republic, that the nation
owes the establishment Of a National
Memorial Day"
General Logan issued the following
order on May ., 1865;
The 18Th day Of May is designated
for the purpose of strewing with flow
ers or otherwise decorating the graves
Of comrades who died in defense of
their country during the late Rebellion,
and whose bodies now lie in almost
every city, village and hamlet, church
yard In the land In this observance
no form Of ceremony Is prescribed but
posts and comrades will in their own
way, arrange such fitting services and
testimonials Of respect as clrcum-
stances may permit. We are organ
lied. comrades, as our regulations tell
us, for the purpose, among other things,
of preserving and strengthening those
kind and fraternal feelings which have
bound together the soldiers, sailors
aud marines who united to suppress
the late Rebellion
"What can aid more to assure this
result than cherishing tenderly the
memory Of our heroic dead, who made
their breasts a barricade between our
country and its foes? Their soldier
lives were the revellle Of freedom to a
race in chains. and their deaths the
tattoo Of rebelllous tyranny in arms.
"We should guard their graves with
sacred vigilance. All that the conse-
Grated wealth and taste Of the nation
can add to their adornment and secur-
ity Is but fitting tribute to the snem-
ory of her slain defenders. Let no
wanton foot tread rudely on such hal
lowed grounds. Let pleasant paths In

Although fashion dictates that the
1880 modes are still having great
vogue and that as the season advances
they will become more prominent, 1t Is
quite evident that women are not taxi
ing to the extreme of this fashion so
readily as might be expected. There
are but very few who look well when
thus attired, and 1t requires tall and
slender figure to carry well gown con-
sistlng of many yards of material and
a quantity of lace. Tucks, ruilies and
pleats all help to carry out the effect
OF 1880 styles, and the latest skirts are
almost indescribable with their many
little touches of originality. Lace is
employed extensively in skirts, and the
bertha and fichu are alike popular nov
elites. The train Is no longer fash
ionable accessory to the new gown,
which has straight, round length.
Spangled appliques are also used to
a great extent, and odd effects are
achieved by inserting into an otherwise
plain skirt several rows Of this import
ed decoration. Net gowns made over
taffeta silk offer many opportunities
with the skirt trimming, and the new.
est wrinkle Is to drape the fiounce up
in several places with chiffon roses and
foliage.

The Cause of TnbercnIosis.

The Cornell University Experiment
Station in bulletin 225, just published,
gives most interesting facts about this
how it is spread. 1t says that the
disease is caused by micro-organism,
the bacillus tuberculosis, which are
only visible under the microscope. The
bacilli are often found N tuberculous
cattle and people, and differ very little
in appearance and belong TO the same
species. The bacilli escape from dis
eased animals, IN the saliva and mucus
from the mouth, also from the pus from
tubercular assesses that open through
the skin, and in the milk of the cow.
Some cows show fifteen per cent. of
them in their milk.
The infection and spread of the dis
ease among animals is largely through
the digestive tract, and by inhaling
particles of dirt or dust carrying bacllli,
or by getting them into wounds of the
skin. The latter is possible, but not
common. Healthy cattle "nosing" with
infected ones, or feeding and drinking
after them is the most usual way of in-
fection. The infection of calves by
feeding them milk from tuberculous
cows is n frequent means of spreading
the disease This upon calves is slow
and sometimes does not show the dis
ease for years. This is one of the very
important ways that the disease Is
spread among breeding herds.
The disease is often found in swine
fed upon milk from infected cows.
Last year the United States meat in.
spectors condemned about 10000 hogs
for tuberculosis. The same resGlt may
follow when milk from infected cows is
fed TO children or adults. Practically
the only way tuberculosis gets into a
herd of cattle is by the introduction Of
tuberculosis animal. The disease Is
of very slow progress in developing.
If often requires years for 1t to destroy
its victim. The germs pass into the
blood or lymph and are carried to other
parts of the body, where each germ
starts a new tuberce. The tuberculin
test is by far the most reliable way
to determine whether animals have
any trace of the disease. There have
been many unjust things said about
tuberculin and many cattle owners
have come to fear that 1t is a danger
GUS agent to use. 1t has been found,
however, that tuberculln is as harm.
less as need be to the health of the
animal. The dangers that are supposed
to come from 1t are the results of poor
tuberculln, unclean instruments, or
other avoidable causes. The tuber'
culin is a prepared fluid. III the AMI
NAL is sound when tuberculin is In
jected no reaction Is observed. If, how
ever, the animal contains the active
tubercle there Is a reaction which
shows itself in rise OF temperature
beginning for from eight to sixteer
hours after the injection and continuing
for from six to ten hours and cossibly
longer.

Il Is not an easy matter to keep up
the flow of milk except by heavy grain
feeding during the period when the
pasture is not yet fit to Craze heavily.
Just before good pasture we find it

.rhrirty Tomato PIant-.

This is how ! raised 1900 tomato
plants after March 10: I planted part
of them in n hotbed ten feet long and
two and one-half feet wide, in rows
about three inches apart. This gave
room TO cultivate them. ! sowed the
seed thickly in trenches one inch deep
and covered with soil. When the plants
came up thinned to about 100 to the
row. planted the other bed the same
way, but this bed was in the plain soil
and was five feet wide and nearly
twelve feet long. This allowed rle to
cultivate from both sides. When the
plants We're week old | carefully
loosened the soil between the rows
with n table fork, but did not disturb
the plants. / did this twice a week
till they We're large enough TO set out.
When they were ten days old l sprayed
them with a gallon of liquid manure
to q pail of water. If the manure is
used stronger it will injure the plants.
But how they did grow treated this
way! When about six inches high
transplanted to another bed, giving
them more room. This should be done
about twice before they are ready to
place in the field. This was the Goth
of May here, and the plants had stalks
as large as a lead pencil and were
ten to twelve inches high. l kept up
the cultivating and spraying all the
way through. Perhaps all do not know
how to get the liquid manure. Bore the
bottom of barrel full of holes; place
it on blocks in a slant; fill in a little
straw, then stable manure TO at least
| two-thirds full. Place boards under
meath to run off the liquid; then pour
on two pals of water. 1t will run
through in an hour or two. Then pour
on water enough each day to keep the
supply of liquid just as your needs
are. This liquid is just as good for
other plants.-Phoebe Journey, in The
| Epitomist.

raising was feature of a recent meet
ing at Horticultural Hail. Boston, Mass.
w. w. Rawson was the principal speak
er, and he estimated that nearly 200
acres in Massachusetts are under glass.
The product is sold in Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Buffalo and Chi
cago. The vegetable grower to-day
should have several houses in order
that each may he at the proper tenn

In no other part of the United States
glass reached the point of perfection
that it has here. There are more than
1900 market gardeners who bring pro-

creasing. To-day Il Is a problem what
to grow, and The man must study the
market, know how to produce n good
crop by close attention to details, and
coniine himself TO n few kinds he is
most familiar with, and which are best
adapted TO his soil and market. Mr..
Rawson advocated growing vegetables
by electric light, and the use of steril-
lied soil He thought the cucumber

by the use of the electric light.
Varnum Frost, another well-known
market gardener. said it was an insult
TO common sense TO speak of growing
vegetables by electricity. He had never
used 1t and never would. and it was n
good deal like another fad which Mr..
Rawson had started of painting glass
white. j. c. Stone said he liked TO hear
these comments, because when two
market gardeners lived in the same
town and disagreed so well. it was n
sure sign that both were good growers.

This celebration at all the Grand
Army posts set this beautiful example
to the people at large and the custom
soon became a part of the annual life
of the nation. New York early took
the lead and engrafted law upon her
statute books making May 80 legal
holiday. which action was also taken
by most of the Northern and Western
States.
General Chipman attributed the
honor of suggesting a decoration day
to a Cincinnati soldier, whose letter
concerning such a custom in Germany
he laid before General Logan.
General John B. Murray, on the other
hand. has advanced the claim of cele-
braton held at Watertown n. Y. May
81, 1866. 1t has been shown that Gen
eral Logan often referred TO his first
Memorial Day order as the "proudest
act of his life," and in the year 1t was
