Visitors in Washington nearly always
call upon the congressman from their
district, and the latter. If VI hospitable
turn, frequently invites n to lunch
con in the congress restaurant, a
privilege highly priced by the average
visitor. Once number of women call
ed upon a wealthy congressman and
were duly invited to have luncheon
with him, which they promptly and
gladly accepted, and when seated pro-
ceeded to order q luncheon substantial
enough for day laborers. When the
check for the luncheon was handed to
the congressman and he handed a bill
for the amount to the waiter, one of the
women remarked that she thought con-
gressmen did not have 70 pay for their
meals there or she would not have or.
dered so much. The congressman, says
the narrator, explained that paying for
luncheons was one of the pleasant priv.
ileges which were still permitted to the
congressman by an indulgent govern
ment and that it was one which they
especially enjoyed. "And visitors helI
us enjoy it, too" he added.-Baltimort

When watches Were New.

At first the watch was about the size
of a dessert plate. 1t had weights and
was used as a pocket clock" The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1862. which
mentions that Edward VI. had zone
larum or watch of iron, the case being
likewise of iron gilt, with two plum
NETS of lead" The first watches may
readily be supposed to have been of
rude execution. The first great Inn
provement, the substitution of springs
for weights, was in 1850. The earliest
springs were not coiled, but only
straight pieces of steel. Early watches
had only one hand. and, being wound
up twice a day, they could not be ex
pected to keep time nearer than fifteer
or twenty minutes in the twelve hours
The dials were of silver or brass. Th'
cases had no crystals, but opened a
the back and front and were four o.
five inches in diameter A plain watcl
cost the equivalent of $1,000 in our cur
rency, and after one was ordered
took a year to make it.

cost for fuel.
The cost of heating is the stumbling
block that prevents many amateurs
from venturing in greenhouse building.
To grow early vegetable plants house
10 by 20 can be heated with one ton of
pea coal, costing about 81. 1t would
take at least four loads of manure in
hotbeds having the same area to fur
nish the heat. The cost of handling the
manure added to the cost of the manure
itself would bring the price up to pos
sibly $S or SO. Then, again, the hot
beds would require more attention, as
we frequently have days in early
spring when the sun shines for an hour
or two, which would necessitate the
ventilation and, if neglected, might
draw the plants beyond repair, while
in the greenhouse there is always suf-
ficient air TO carry the plants for some
time, even though the atmosphere be-
came quite warm.
A greenhouse in climate as mild as
Philadelphia could be heated by a
small hot water heater, such as is used
for brooder houses by poultrymen, cos:
ing from SIT to $35. Secondhand pipe

there is but little pressure. would

Advantages Over HOtbed-P1an For n
Cheap Structure.
A greenhouse has many advantages
over the hotbed. One can put in many
q pleasant hour caring for growing
plants in the stormy days of early
Epring. when it would be very disagree
able to do the same work if hOtbeds
were to be used. Another advantage is
that we can control the heat, which is
so essential to the growth of early
plants. Insect pests can be subdued
by fumigatiOn or otherwise. The dan
ger from drawing plants from the lack
of ventilation is reduced. Stocky and
vigorous plants are almost certainty
if reasonable amount of attention is
paid to watering and ventilation.
1t is of some advantage to have cold
FRAMES in connection with a green
house for transplanting early vege-
table plants when the season is far
enough advanced that there is no dan
ger from heavy frOsts. 1t Is a well
known fact that most vegetable plants
are benefited by transplanting, whether
1t be in cold frame in the open ground
Or in pots. After the vegetable plants

We hope it may meet witls approval among the teachers of the county and that other schools may be induced to do likewise, so that gen. eral interest may be aroused in the educational element, and we may keep pace with our near neighbors. or at least know wherein we fall behind.
 Our school, which began the l7th. inst, is very small in attendance at present, as so many of the pupils are still behind with their worK, but it is steadily increasing, and up until the heavy rains set in, only one pupil had missed day. The day was last Tuesday, as the teacher did not ar rive, but we hope occurrences of this kind will be seldom, hereafter.
 Our schooroom was frightened last Monday by four of our old pupils. Sue, Nora, Clifford aud Irving Whit ten, also their little sister, Leeta, Who will attend this term.
 Miss Bessie Vaughn was forced to leave school Monday morning. to ad- minister to the importunities of q refractory toothache, but returned at noon, very much relieved and has been with us every since.

 A barn on place belonging to Mir. A. Bird was totally destroyed by fire sunday night. Some excitement was caused by the contlagration as we fear ca It might be the school house. We sympathize with MT. Bird in his loss.
