Vines for the Veranda.

Every possessor of q house with a
porch whether in city, suburb or coun-
try, should realize the opportunity he
has. with the help of nature, to make
1t delicious and beautiful, cool, green,
shady retreat In summer. In winter
it matters little what it is. Vines will
transform any porch into q bower. To
have vigorous vines, plenty of rich soil
IS needed. and it Is best to insure this
by adding plenty of COW manure or
bone meal to make it rich. Good
drail&lge, as In any flower garden, is
also essential.
In the woods many wild vines may
be found. There are the Dutchman's s
pipe, the wild grape the moon seed
vine. the trumpet vine and others;
The wild grape vine is especially useful
and easily obtained. It's luxuriant foi

trumpet vine with its scarlet orange
flowers is very easily grown. not at all
sensitive to rough treatment It is
found in many parts of the country
wild. These vines may all be obtained
also from dealers

IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.

NO better 6ftdence IS wanting OF the
weakness of Mr.. Calderhead in the
Fifth district than the admission Of
himself and committee in the calling
Of A snap shot convention three weeks
from the day the committee met until
the convention convenes. Why the
necessity for so much haste2 The
election is more than eight months Oft
and the campaigns the active work Of
the canvass, will not begin for five
months yet. There was no organized
opposition to Mr.. CaIderhead's renomi-
nation. There was one candidate an
nounced. but so far as can be learned
there was no centralized forces active
Iy engaged in enconpassing Mr.. Cal
derhead's defeat. There were. how
ever, mutterings and expressions OF
lack of confidence in Mr.. Calderhead
in about every county in the district.
It was this discomfort which caused
Mr.. Calderhead and his committee to
make such haste in the convening of
sthe congressional convention. 1t was,
in fact. an admission of weakness on
the part Of Mr.. Calderhead, an admis-
sion that if he gave the republicans Of
the district time for consideration they
would retire him to private life
