Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, at the
time of her election as president gen.
eral Of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
was the wife of the senator from In
diana. Her nomination carried out
the aim of certain members of the So
ciety in Washington to have the wife
of politician at the head of the D. A.
r. This sentiment has met with
much opposition outside of Washing
ton since Mrs. Harrison's death.
Mrs. Donald Mclean, who looms
to the front as the successor of Mrs.
Charles w. Fairbanks, upon the eA-
piratfon of her term as president gen.
eral of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, is perhaps as widely EEowE
as any woman in official life.

AS the time approaches for the BIZ

tional Society of the Daughters of the
American Revolution, the electioneer-
ing and wire-pulling which is carried on
by the 10000 members of this patriotic

afford many a valuable hint to their
more professional brothers of the great
political parties of the country.

hole for drainage. Fill this box WIN
four inches of mellow, rich soil. If nee
essary, stir some fertilizer with it before
it is put into the box. Settle the soil by
shaking, removing all Jumps and waste
matter, and cover the surface smoothly
with about one inch of fine sand. Water
the soil thoroughly by sprinkling the
surface with fine spray, using care not
to wash out the sand.
Provide pail to receive any water
that may drain through. Place the box
before window upon frame made OF
two-inch pieces, such as shown in the
cut Allow it to remain in the sun two
or three days until the soil is thoroughly
warm, then plant the seeds in rows about
three inches apart and deep enough to
be below the layer of sand. Tilt the box
toward the sunlight, so that it may get
all the sun possible. Keep the surface
well moistened, but do not water enough
to cause drainage water to run through
the soil.
If there is considerable sunlight, such
box will grow vigorous plants in few
weeks after planting. The room must
be kept at the ordinary temperature of
a living room, and not allowed.at any
time to become very cold, or the plants
will be injured If the box is turned
around every day or so the plants will
grow more stocky and will not be
drawn" by the light. The plants them
selves will indicate by their leaning to-
ward the light just when this should be
done. The window before which the box
stands should not be opened to allow the
cold air to reach the growing plants I'M
til they are of sufficient size, when they
may be hardened before putting out in
the open ground.

Preserving Manure.

1t will pay well to give more atter-

to the preservation of barnyard ma
nure, first by guarding it from the
sources of loss that occur in the ordi-

treating it with materials calculated
to reduce the losses from escaping
ammonia on the one hand, and to in
crease its content of phosphoric acid on
the other.-Ohio Station.

Grover Cleveland spent the greater part
of the day with the guide without any
substantial results. In the end he gave
up the chase for the time being and
sought the nearest railroad station. Be-
fore leaving the scene of his adventure,
so the story goes, Mr.. Cleveland chatted
pleasantly with-his guide, good enatured-

waited for an opportunity and then re-
marked gravely: Anyway, sir, the

II Is a fact well within common
knowledge that boys. when worthy OF
the name, have an instructive aversion
unconquerable by anything less I'M
reasonable than force. to baths and
even to thorough washing OF their
hands and faces. They consider these
rites unnecessary and uncomfortable
resent them as grotesque waste OF boy
hoods precious time and avoid the per-
Torrance of them as often and as long
as they can. This popularity Is easily
enough explicable on the theory tnat
the child passes through the develop
mental stages OF his race and while 10
the savage or barbarian stage has the
aptitudes and repugnances Of savages
and barbarians. But quite as much as
the boy hates baths he loves to go In
swimming, which by the oldsters Is
also called bathing. That cracks the
theory all to pieces and leaves the mys-
terry right where 1t was before. Nobody
has marked the hour when bathing for
the civilized human ceases to be tor
ture and becomes pleasure, but certain
