| tribute TO George Frisbie Hoar.


Daniel Chester French. the sculptor,
has completed at his studio in Glendale.
Mass, the model Of the statue which the
people Of Worcester are to erect as a
tribute to the memory Of the late Senator
George Frisbie Hoar. In this model the
grand OLD man is shown seated, his arms
resting on the arms OF the chair, and a
manuscript In his right hand Photo
graphs Of the model show that Mr.
French has succeeded in getting an ex-
cellent likeness. In its general features,
the pose Of the subject. &c, the statue
will not be widely unlike that Of Horace
Greeley, in New York.
The contract with the sculptor calls for
the delivery Of the statue IN time for
dedication in October, and Mr. French
thinks he viii be able to furnish the
completed work then. The cost Of the
memorial viii be paid through popular
subscriptions from the people OF Worces-
ter, at which place the dead statesman
lived many years. and where he was
known and admired by practically every
citizen. 50 far the exact site for the
statue has not been selected, but It VIII

The speech Of Representative Theodore
z. Burton, OF Ohio, at Aurora, H., last
Friday night, affords still another evil
dence that prominent Republicans are
awakening TO a realization of the neCes-
sity of tariff revision. Mr.. Burton is
one Of the deepest thinkers and most
careful students in Congress. He Is inde-
pendent and outspoken. and the observer
may rest assured that he is not rec
ommending tariff revision because Of the
exigencies Of practical politics, but be-
cause he thinks the tariff should be re-
vised. although he is as strong a believer
in the principle Of protection as the most
hardened standpatter.
a new story on Mr. Burton is going
the rounds now, by the way. His pros
pective arrival in a small Ohio town
was thus announced by a local paper:

Bishop Talbot, the cowboy bishop"

Entering a particularly lawless mining
camp in Idaho. he went into the dance
halls and gambling saloons, inviting
the men to come to his meetings. For
three weeks he remained at the camp,
working day and nighk At the end of
that time a committee of miners offer
ed him a salary of $4,000 to stay and
to hustle up this preachin' business"
Unable to accept the offer, he proposed
sending a substitute, to which the COM
mittee demurred, as sit was not in the
deal" After a consultation they re-
turned with another offer. 'If you'll

Be sure that plants in hanging pots
and baskets get all the water they
need. Because they are near the cell
ing where the temperature is much
higher than at the window sill, they
will dry out much more rapidly than
ordinary plants. They are also eX-
posed on all sides, and this accelerates
evaporation. l have a method of keep
ing these plants well watered which
works well. | take a small can or
cup and punch holes in the bottom of
it. Make these small at first until you
know just how much water is needed.
Fill these vessels and place them on
the surface of the soil. Vines can be
so trained as to hide them. Observe
the effect carefully. If not enough
water passes through to keep the soil
moist, you will know that larger holes
are necessary. This matter can be
regulated to a nicely with a little ex-
perimenting. Fill the cup each morn
ing. A treatment of this kind will
enable any one to grow fine hanging
plants.-Home Magazine.
