Morven an ordinance was passeu by a
unanimous vote fthat body calling

issue and it is believed that bonds will

WHAT IRRIGATION MEANS.

In an address before the Hamll-
ton club of Chicago on irrigation,
MT. R. Isinger, of Spokane. WASH
made the following statements:
Irrigation invariably means in
tensive cultivation, and this in
turn means larger crops. Through
the use of smaller tracts the coun-
try districts become so thickly
populated they resemble suburbs
of large cities; but there is no
congestion, nor is there the men
ace of an underfed, poorly housed
population. 1t means the ldeai
farm village, lighted by electricity
furnished with domestic water
pipes, good roads, rural mail de-
livery, telephones, automoolles:
trolley lines and other modern con-
veniences. 1t means a union of the
social features of town and the
healthful ones of the country life
and, as some one has well said,
the disappearance of lonesome
ness, " without the worse evil OF

Most vine plants are victims of
insects, and it is important that
the young vines should be protect
ed until they get a vigorous
growth. A good way to protect
these tender plants is to bend
twig or wire into the shape of an
arch, thrust the ends into the
ground and over the arch place
mosquito netting. If early crops of
cucumbers or other early vine
plants are desired they can be pro-
tected by small wooden frame
covered with netting or closely
woven wire.

IS FORGIVENESS OF NATURE
J. J. Ingalls, Beautiful Description Of
Grads, Which Covers the Soar
Man Has Made.

Lying in the sunshine among the
buttercups and the dandelions of
May, scarcely higher in intelligence
than the minute tenants of that
mimic wilderness, our earliest recol-
lections are of grass; and when the
fitful fever is ended and the foolish
wrangle of the market and forum is
closed, grass heals over the scar
which our descent into the bosom of
the earth has made, and the carpet
of the infant becomes the blanket of
the dead. Grass is the forgiveness
of Nature-her constant benediction.
Fields trampled with battle, saturat-
ed with blood, torn with the ruts of
cannon, grow green again with grass,
and carnage is forgotten. Streets
abandoned by traffic become grass
;rown like rural lanes and are oblit-
Grated. Forests decay, harvests per-
ish, flowers vanish, but grass is i'm
mortal. Beleaguered by the sullen
hosts of winter, it withdraws into
the impregnable fortress of its sub
terranean vitality and emerges upon
the first solicitation of spring. Sown
by the winds, by the wandering
birds, propagated by the subtle agri-
culture Of the elements which are its
ministers and servants, it softens the
rude outline of the world. 1t bears
no blazonry of bloom to- charm the
senses with fragrance or splendor,
but its homely hue is more enchant-
ing than the lily or the rose. 1t
yields no fruit in earth or air, and
yet, should its harvest fail for a
single year, famine would depopulate
the world.-John J. Ingalls,.

MUSICAL SENSE IN FLOWERS.

Remarks the London World: ga
German professor has discovered
that flowers possess a musical sense,
and betray their individual natures
by expanding their petals under the
influence of certain melodies. Roses
prefer old-fashioned airs peonies, he
finds, blush a deeper hue when they
hear the volcanic vanities of Wag-
ner; violets are no longer modest
when serenaded bymodern composers,
and lilies simply close their wearied
bells at the sound of the waltz. Pic
ture to yourself the learned professor
on tour round his garden with a
small but select orchestra, specially
engaged, making sweet music to his
flower beds, anxiously watching for
startling effects! wonder, by the
way, what tune would rouse a snap
dragon to protest. And what terri
BILE cataclysm would happen if Sou
sa's exciting compositions were
played in the orchid house?"

Essay On Pants.

Pants are made for men and not
for women. Women are made for
men and not for pants. When a
mau pants for woman and a wo-
wan pants for a man they !are a
pair of pants. Such pants don't
last. Pants are like molasses-
they are thinner in hot weather
and thicker in cold. Men are often
mistaken in pants; such mistakes
are breaches of promise. There
has been much discussion. whether
pants is singular or.plural. Seems
to me when men weari pants it is
plural, and when they don't wear
pants it is singular. Men go on
tear in their pants andssssit is all
right, but when the pants go on
tear it is all wrong. If you want
to make pants last, make the coat
first. Masonic News.

A Suggestion.

Carry a smile with you as well as
calling card-it is better intro
duction. Our enmities are caused
by misunderstanding, and they
are all melted in the sunshine of
the heart. Take the chip off your
shoulder and stop your still hunt
for insults. Do not take the little
worries that vex and fret" too
seriously. Science has recently
proven that every thought we en-
terrain does something to our
body. Fear spoils digestion, anger
benumbs the brain. jealousy dis
turbs the circulation, insincerity
retards the breath, cowardice un-
settles the nerves, anxiety robs
sleep of its benefits, misunder-
standing so upsets the action of the
heart that various disorders may
ensue. To the contrary, each
positive, hopeful, energizin g
thought makes us live longer and
better. Joy lubricates, despair
clogs, the physical as we'll as the
mental organism. You cannot
nurse your troubles and grapple
with your problems at the same
time. Worry leads to chaos, but
mirth scatters mental fog. The
worker who enjoys his work does
it twice as we'll.

GOOD LIGHT OPERA THEME.

A new light opera is founded on
the romantic career of Baron Trenck,
an Austrian soldier of fortune.
Strangely enough, there are two cell
ebrated adventures of this name.
They were cousins, both were dare
devil fighters, both had prison cpl
sodes in their checkered careers, and
both had tragic ends-one being a
suicide, the other a victim of the
French revolution. The opera cele-
brates the career of the elder Trenck.
