Carnations for Next Winter.

Now is the time to start in order to
secure good plants of carnations for
your window garden next winter. If
your plants are put out in the garden
before all danger of frost is over. it
will do no harm. for If the plants have
been properly hardened off, little
frost will do them no harm. Procure
from your neighboring florist some of
this springs cuttings which have be-
come ablished in two or three inch
pots. and which have not become pot
bound. During the summer grow the
plants out of doors. Select a well
drained portion Of the garden, spade
1t as deeply as possible with a spading
fork, turning under at the same time
a dressing Of well decomposed manure
which has been spread on the ground
about three inches thick. After spad-
ing thoroughly rake the soil until it is
fine and smooth, and all the stones
have been removed. Set the plants
eighteen inches apart, in rows which are
eighteen to twenty-four inches apart.
Cultivate the ground thoroughly all
summer long. I have found it an ex-
cellent scheme to go over the garden
about once in two weeks, loosening up
the soil with a spading fork. to a depth
of about three inches.-Garden Maya

THE sEDATENEss OF JOHNNY--
To Sunday school journeys
Young Johnny, devouts
No wtles Of the Tenapter
Can lure him without.
He goads not the teacher
With questions perpleNed;
His memory treasures
Full many a text.
He studies OF Ponah
And ponders the whale.
Nor high criticism
Applies to the tale.
The Sunday school picnic
Is looming SO large
He dares not be risking
A heresy charge.

from a Long Island city examination
paper in English history:
William of Orange was a good and

James I. rule and they hoped that
Mary would become queen. Just then
James gave birth to a prince, and this
done Mary out of her chance. The
people would not stand for this and
they appointed William of Orange as
their king. -Harper's Weekly.

WHAT HE WAS ELECTED FOR.
The fact that Senator Burton was
found guilty by the supreme court Of
the United States makes but little diff
ference to the people of Kansas, who
had formed decided opinions on the
question from reading his evidence
The appeal to the supreme court was
on purely technical grounds, and II
sustained would not have meant an
acquittal in the minds OF the people.
AS we have said before, Burton is but
paying the penalty for doing what he
was elected to do, and the parties
who were behind him and who
knew his character are almost equally
guilty.-Burlingam Chronicle.

PROTEST
from Corporal" Tanner to Con-
gresham Tawney, Against
a Bill Now Pending.

Washington, d. C.-"Corporal"
Tanner, commander in chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, has writ
ten a letter to Representative Tawney,
of Minnesota, chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, protest
ing vigorously against the action of
Tawney's committee in recommending
the enactment of law reducing the
compensation of government clerks
after they have attained the age of 60
years. Corporal" Tanner writes
particularly in behalf of his comrades
of the civil war, many of whom, now
employed in the government service,
would be affected seriously by the
proposed reduction in compensation.
Corporal" Tanner ventures the as
sertion to Mr.. Tawney that you won't
find a Confederate soldier behind your
BILL" and incidentally pays a tribute
to a Confederate brigadier who refus-
ed to permit a single one of the Union
veterans to be disturbed when he had
the power to remove them.
In the course of his letter Mr.. Tan
ner says: "You propose that the aims
house alone shall be the veterans S
refuge in life and, perhaps, after
you've kicked him out to rattle his
bones over the stones,' deny him a
burial ground and close against him
the gates of Arlington.
"My dear Mr.. Chairman, there is a
dead line in legislation representing
the saviours of the nation as perfectly
marked as at Andersonville, beyond
which no enemy may go. Let me
beg you to pause before you attempt
to cross it under the belief that the
sentry is asleep, and to have only
words of praise for the bridge that
many times and oft has carried you to
safety"

A PANIC IN THE STEERAGE.
It Was Caused by Storm and Was
Finally QueIIed by the Ships
Officers.

New York-A terrifying expe-
rience at sea was reported by the
officers of the French line steamer
Hudson, which arrived here Tuesday.
During the storm which swept the At
lantic last Friday afternoon and even
ing, the 1886 steerage passengers on
the steamer became panic stricken
and were quieted only after the cap
tain and first officer had threatened
them with revolvers and knives.
Both the barometer and thermome-
ter fell rapidly and a terrific gale
rolled up great seas. When the storm
was at it's worst the steerage passen-
gers became panic stricken and sought
to go on deck, insisting that If they
must die they wanted to meet death in
the open. The stewards and minor of
ficers lost control of the passengers
and appealed to the captain for as
sistance.
Capt Julian and First Officer Me-
hausas, who were on the bridge, hur-
ried to the steerage quarters and at
tempted to pacify the terrorized pas
sengers. First they assured them that
there was no danger, then threatened
them and finally drew revolvers and
knives and threatened to use them un-
less the passengers became quiet.
Order finally was restored. Soon af-
terwards the storm abated.
