How to Garden.

Now is the time for all good men to
keep their hens at home. Speaking Of
planting gardens, a little advice at
this time Of the year on what to
plant would be seasonable, if not USE
full. If you have only room for a sm all
garden, at least two acres should be
devoted to young onions. Be care
full to plant onion seed; some people
try to raise onions by hand or word or
mouth as they do money, but it is not
successful; leave the onion seed in the
ground not in the house or even on the
door step. In this way honest, intelli-
gent looking onions can be raised even
by people who drink or use tobacco to
excess. There are several kinds Of
onions, but fried onions are considered

An underoround CITY.

In Galacia, in Austrian Poland, there
is a remarkable underground city,
which has population Of over 1000
men, women and children, scores Of
whom have never seen the light of
day. It is known as the City Of Salt
Mines and is situated several hundred
feet below the earth's surface. 1t has
It's town hall, theater and assembly
room as well as beautiful church,
decorated with statues, all being fash
Toned from the pure crystallized rock
salt. It has well graded streets and
spacious squares, lighted with. cleo
tricity. There are numerous instances
in this underground city where not a
single individual In three or four sue
cessive generations has ever seen the
sun or has any idea Of how people live

dry, which is also true of the COW.
Beans are also natives Of the garden.
There are many varieties. The razor
back bean is quite thin, but still affords
considerable nourishment and trouble;
in its early childhood it developes, large
spots, the color of blue mule. These
spots or birth marks place this bean in
9 dish by itself. At hotels these beans
are served in individual dishes the size
OF fa soap dish, and when emptied they
are washed and used again-if not
bfeken. This is about the only excite
ment this bean has. In large families
they take larger chances of being
eaten. The small white bean is almost
too common to speak of. It has rela-
tives all over the world and at one
time, was on speaking terms with
Adams apple. It should be planted in
hills and in every fourth hill piece of
salt pork should be quietly dropped.
No well regulated garden is complete
without large bed Of tomato vines, to
be Joined later by tomatoes about the
size of a league base ball run over by
the cars. Tomatoes are always in
season, but pepper and salt and a
little vinegar can be added to what
they already have. Canned tomatoes
do the best in this country during the
winter, but those picked off of the
vines just before the six o'clock bell
rings receive the most cordial greeting
at the supper table. Horse radish can
be raised even if you don't keep a
horse. Select corner of the garden
near a bumble-bee's nest; this gives
the radish that peculiar sting which is
the bumble-bee's speciality and the
horse radish popularity. Look for it
with spade about three years after
you plant it and if it isn't there it may
have been eaten by your neighbor.
Short order gardens work we'll in
grocery store windows and a mess of
lettuce, or peck of peas can be gathered
by phone without resorting to hoe
or the borrowed rake.

They Have Left.

Amos Fordyce and family tried to take
a "French" leave here Monday, and
leave some Of their creditors to mourn
their departure, but they scented their
move, and Ed. Sanderson who had a
considerable amount due him, also DR..
Gale, each promptly placed an attach
ment on four trunks which the Fordyce
had checked to Jamestown. At this
writing the Sanderson account has been
adjusted but the account of DIR. Gale
has not yet been fixed up and the
trunks are still being held at the N. P.
depot until they liquidate. The last
heard Of the Fordyce they were at
jamestown but no one knows where
they will head for next.
One day last week Mrs. Fordyce with
her baby and carriage entered the store
of the G. NJ. c., presumably to make
some purchases. She got her eye on a
nice bolt Of velvet ribbon, which looked
good to her. Thinking no one had seen
her, she slipped it quietly into her baby
2
carriage, but she was detected by a
lady in the store, and as soon as she
had left the store the theft was report
ed to the firm, who at once went to see
Mrs. Fordyce. and she returned the
ribbon, admitting she had taken it, and
said she was sorry she did it.
The G. M. G. has had detective
employed for some time past and the
above case has been the result.
Later-Mrs. Fordyce came down
yesterday afternoon from. Jamestown
and adjusted the difference between
her and DR.. Gale. Her trunks were
released and she departed with them
on the return train to jamestown.
