Plants in the simile will not need as much water as those in the sun. liut in cases where water is applied it should be done copiously. 4ln the pot culture of plants, where the amount of soil is limited, the use of manure is of vast service when iudiciouHlv amilied. but much harm tnav be occasioned by its indiscriminate use. Many persous consider it necessary to resort to the use of guano and other sol utions on sickly plants and are sur prised to tind that the application only hastens the diesolut'on or tho patient.

But it should be kegt in mind that stim ulants should not be applied while flow er buds are foaming, as it might induce an incereasod wood growth at the expense of the flowering principle." h im-be- s o co WHY HE XEVEK MA Kill ED. History of the Romance iu the Case of James Buchanan. o Minneapolis Tribune: A Minneapolis lady told me the other day the true reason why James Buchanan, the fifteenth president of the United States, never married. She used to live in Lancaster, Pa., and it wns near this little city that President Buchanan lived when at home) and died. 1 quote her own words: "Whon I was a girl and a young lady at home I used to know Mr. Buchanan quite well. Father was one of his intimate friends and used to spend a good deal of time, nearly all of his Sunday afternoons, at his country place, Wheatland, about a mile from Lancaster. They had a bond of sympathy between them, both were Democrats. Why, he was at my sister's wedding, and I remember the expression on his face and the twiukte in his eye as he quoted the old saying to my oldest sister: 'When a younger sister is married first, the older has to sit on the fence and wait her turn. You must dance in your stocking feet tomght.' 'He was a tall, tine looking man, with silver white hair, generally dressed in black broadcloth, black satin vest, and wore the old fashioned high linen collars. One great peculiarity of his wascarrying his head on one s;de. There vas a man in Lancaster named for him James Buchanan Frey, and in order to look like him he carried his head on the side in the same way. "He told my father about the love affair. I've heard it dozens of times. He was engaged to Miss Coleman, of Lancaster, and there, too, lived Miss Rose Hubley, also very much in love with him and mortally jealous of Miss Coleman. "The course of true love was running smoothly for the lovers until this Miss Hubley came between them. Mr. Buchanan had been out of town on business, returned late one afternoon to the city, and on his way home passed by where Mies Hubley lived. She called him into the house and he was there some few minutes, then went directly home to got his supper. As frequently happens, some gossipy neighbors either saw it or Miss herself took Hubley Pains to inform Miss Coleman that Mr. Buchanan had called at the other lady's home first, although engaged to her. She reseuled it, and when he went to call upon her that evening declined to see him. The next day he went up to Philadelphia on an early train and with her father. She went latter in the day to go with the two gentlemen to the theatre in the evening. She did not appear as usual, not at all like herself, and finally declined to go to the the;.ter or even see Mr. Buchanan. When they returned to the hotel after the theatre she was a corpse, and was brough home to Lancaster and buried thare.

Mr. Jennings, Uka all tha other agriculturalist cnder Uncle Srry, is a close observer of tha crops and meteorological oonditiona affecUtg the granger. He deqarea that tha newa-pai- r reports of injury to crops through the tutwit Leat of the patt two ar eisggeratni and mainly imaginary.

After corn gets a certain growth it can stand great heat without injury. No, sir: the rumors of failure of crops in eer tain quarters are sent out by parties in tha interest of boar movements. Nor need the people worry about the reports of the appearance or grasshoppers, or they have not made their appearance in Kansas. They are thi.-- on about 500 square miles in Colorado, at the crossing of the Iiock Island and the union l'a cltio tracks. There is a strip of land there about fifty miles long by ten wide baa appeared; where the but it is not the migrating kind the locust. These insects met with a pecu liar meteorological condition this year. The earth was cold at night,and they re sorted to the railroad tracks for warmth after the sunset, and the grasshoppers congrega'd on the rails, covering them several inches thick. When the trains came along the wheels crushed them and left the tracks so greasy that the driving-wheelof the locomotives stop ned and the cars came to a standstill. To ovnrcome this the road employed twoa locomotives, one in front and one at the rear. By liberally sanding the tracks the wheels of the rear locomotive took hold and the trains were moved. "There is no apprehension of grass hoppers this year, because the earth is soft this summer. The grasshopper will not deposit its eggs in soft sou. Only during summers when the earth is baked hard will the 'hopper lay eggs in the state. It is close upon the time when we may expect the advent of the seven teen-vtia- r locust, but he wont get to Kansas next year, and . barring half weather one year more, at least pros perity may be confidently looked for ward to."

Simpson, the of W. C. Simpson, superintendent of the mechanical department or the state dear and dumb asylum, located at Danville. He is a musical prodigy. lie plays tne most difliult compositions on the piano or onran with ease. The first time he attracted attention to his great natural talent was when he was about 3 years of age, and shortly after his parents had purchased an organ. His mother, upon enterinsr the room one day, was sur prised at seeing the youthful musician standing at the organ, working the pedal with one foot and executing as well ns his baby tingers would permit. one or the raminar religious nymns which she herself had been playing. The little fellow was encouraged and made rapid progress. Shortly after local the pianist discovery a be at Mr. Simp 13 happened son s fiouso and ine cnna s playing struck her as being so remarkable that Bhe offered to instruct it in all the branches, but the parents would not consent, preferring to wait until Walter was mere matured. At tbe teacher s advice, however, they exchanged the organ for a piano, and the new instrument seems to suit the youngster much better than the other. lie enjoys his talent very much, and is never happier than when perched upon a piano stool ana nlaving some of the bright, catchy airs that he hears on the streets. He is a very handsome child, having almost a classical face, surmounted by dark brown locks. His sparkling blue eyee light up his striking face, and his robust frame and general nsaitny appearance indicate the making of a strong man. His only pet is a beautifully marked shepherd dog that he calls He and "Quiz" are alimst in Ouiz. separable, and when his master is playing the dog saems to enjoy the music. Amateur Milliners. Illustrated American: It is astonish ing, tbe numoer or amateur milliners who, in quiet fashion, are striving to enter trade in New i ork City. As a rule, they are reduced gentlewomen, with natural taste for who gnd it possible on a minimum of anital to set up small establishments. U up and down the fashionable ave nues, it is possible to find ladies who, for fifty or seventp-fiv- e cer's, will trim a hat most charmingly. They own no shop, but most likely live over a store, and tit up the front room for receiving customers and keeping goods. The idea is an excellent one, for in a year or more valuable experience is gained, a reputa-iio- n started, the amateur pretty safe in starting out on a professional career. Some of the daintiest hats seen this summer were manufactured iu this way, for to mechanical skill the lady milliner ustaste. ually adds refined, high-brebonnett-trimmin- g d Marry in Haste, Etc.

An abandoned newspaper had drifted down the street and became caught in the cable slot. The horse was interested. He lazily wandered over to the track and examined the paper. The free end of the hitching rope dropped through the cable slot. Suddenly the horse jumped clear off the ground, jerked his head up. plastered his ears close to his head, reared on his hind feet, pawed the air with hia fore feet, gave vent to a loud snort and . stampeded down Jones street It waa not his fault that he broke his gpeed record. This horse was a peaceful animal, with an inclination to the plodding career of a plow horse. But he was compelled to assume a rapid gait because his rope was wound around the cable rope and he was propelled by steam, as it were. On he sped down Jones street, around the corner and into O'Farrell street at a gait he had never traveled before, while veal cutlets, cuts of beef, porterhouse stakes, kidneys, lamb chops and liver jogged out of the wagon and became the trad which the butcher boy followed frantically in bis efforts to catch his beast. Nothing got in the way of the horse but dogs, and they added to his misery by leaping into the air and snapping at his nose. An enthusiastic procession of urchins raced madly in the wake of the wagon and cheered the animal on to greater efforts of speed. Down three blocks or U( arreu street rampaged the equine, creating as large a sensation as would a mouse in a seminary. At Powell street his career ended. The hitching rope came in contact with the cross cable of the Powell Street railroad and was cut in twain. The horse was holding back so hard that the reaction threw him on his haunches, and be fore he could recover hi3 equilibrium half a hundred citizens were holding him down. The butcher boy gathered np as nucu of his scattered meat as tho dogs had not devoured, and in a few minutes the yel low horse was plodding in the wake of a hay wagon, munching purloined hay. 8an Francisco Examiner. -r 3 GTQ OPTO BNJOYS Both the method and results when Syrup of Figa ia taken; it ia pleasan and refreshing to the taste, and acta gently yet promptly on the Kidneys, Liver and Bowels, cleansea the system effectually, dispels colds, headaches and fevers and cures habitual constipation permanently.
