Made oC Hocord.
Monday afternoon at two o'clock the Crawfordsville bar assembled in the court room and the memorial adopted upon the occasion of the death of Ben Taylor Ristine was presented to Judge Harney and by his order was spread upon the records of the court. Hon. M. D. White made some very fitting and touching remarks on the life and character of Mr. Ristine and a number of the other members of the bar did likewise.
Some Surprise.
On New Year's day Mrs. Mart Liter concocted a scheme to surprise MrLiter. Accordingly she invited nine of his comrades to dine with them on that day. On time they drove to the farm residence of Mr. Liter, who, not dreaming of anything unusual, was busy husking corn on the back part of the farm. All was quiet along the Potomac when the dinner hour arrived. Mart drove to the barn, put up his horses and proceeded to the house, in the dining room of which he found nine hungry vets. To say th it Mart was surprised is putting'it tamely. With two eyes sticking out like two door knobs lie stammered out: "Well, you're here, are you?" The laugh was on Mart in great shape. After dinner Mrs. Liter was called to the parlor, where one of the gang presented her with a set of fruit knives in about the following words: "Mrs. Liter, you and your spouse have traveled down the path of life hand in hand all these years, fighting the battles of life, inarching side .by side, fighting shoulder to shoulder, with weapons of tender hands and loving hearts. These comrades have decided to arm you in a more effective mannei.
For this purpose they present to you this cutlery, not t.o use upon each other, but to attack the fruits of your labor. Now, fruit is not generally considered an enemy, yet Mart, in his boyhood days, found it an enemy that often doubled him up like a measuring worm and caused him to shout New York, and New York didn't come. It is the earnest lioDe of these comrades that your pathway may ever be smooth and that you may enjoy this present as much as we enjoy giving it." Mr. Liter was then presented with a box of cigars, with the suggestion that they were emblematic of his exit, ending in smoke aad ashes. A pleasant hour was spent in telling some of the most outlandish yarns ever listened to but Col. Gifford's fox story laid everything in the shade, lie declared he ran a white tailed fox five days on top a 6take-and-ridered fence, that he finally caught the fox by the tail, jerked the skin off, and the fox caught pneumonia and died. The gang stole softly away, wishing Mr. and Mrs. Liter two or three hundred such New Year surprises. Y.
TO ABOLISH QUART SHOPS.
S. K. Nicholson Snys lie Will 1 nti-ulucc a Hill 0 That lCITect.-
S. E Nicholson, author of the Nicholson temperance law, will come to the front in the coming Legislature with another temperance bill. It will not be an amendment to the Nicholson law, as the Howard county man is willing to let that stand as it is. It is a bill to abolish
1
quart shops," which
sell under a governmentlicense. This kind of license costs but 325 and under it the saloon proprietor is nominally 1 rohibited from selling in quantities of less than a quart. It is claimed, however, that the law is generally violated and that the proprietors make it a practice to sell by the drink as in the ordinary saloon. "The bill which I have in mind," said Mr. Nicholson, "will require ail such dealers take out the regular State license and they will thus be placed whero they belong—on a level with the saloonkeepers who sell by the drink. I will probably introduce the bill myself. A bill of that kind would be satisfactory not only to the temperance people, but to the legitimate saloonists as well, and I have letters from a great many of the latter asking it. I do not think that any other temperance legislation will be attempted at the coming session."
THE STATE STATISTICIAN.
lie Thinks Wo A.ie Aiding Too .Many JL'nupers hut That We Aren't Kxactly Pampering Any of Them.
In discussing the care of the poor, State Statistician Thompson said: "That the care of the poor is a serious question to the taxpayers no one will deny who has consulted the figures as to the cost. From what has been said in the past few days on this subject one is led to believe that there has been a sudden increase of pauperism. This, however, is not the case. The records in the Bureau of Statistics are complete on this question as to cost for a number of years. To show what has been done we give the figures as reported by county auditors for the past ten years, each of which ends with June 1: In 1877 and 1878 the cost of poor asylums and outdoor poor is given in one item. From 1889 to 1801 it is given as 'cost of poor asylums,' and 'assistance rendered by township trustees.' In 1892 an additional item was added under the heading of 'medical attendance and other poor expenses.' In 1800, the lowest figures for the ten years, reports were received from but eighty-one of the ninetytwo c'ounties. This table shows the expenses for ten years, as well as the total for each year and the total for each item:
Year 1887 1888... 1889... 1890... 1891. 1892... 1893.. 189!) 1895. 180(5...

Totals.83.64 6,570 4.124,993 (58,970, 8,431,470 From this it will be seen that for the year ending June 1, 1806, the cost of poor outside of poor asylums was 8682,275. This is a large amount, but if we have, as has been stated,-CI,414 persons receiving aid, then the assistance rendered amounted for the year to but? SO.55 each. There ought to be at least some consolation in this. The record shows that there is a marked difference in the amount pair for poor in counties having practically the same population and the same conditions. How to deal with this question is one that will confront the incoming Legislature."
Two Kolipses This Year.
There will be fewer eclipses this year than come in the ordinary twelve month|. Last year there were four, two of the moon and two of the 6uh, which is somewhere about the mean in these occurrences. We are to be favored with only two between now and the end of the year, both being of the sun. The largest number that can take place in any year i6 seven, five being of the sun and two of the moon, and the smallest is two, these being of the sun. From which statement we can see that in this year we strike the minimum number of eclipses.
The two referred to will be annular eclipses, both visible to us in the form of a partial eclipse, that is, only part of the disk will be hidden from our view by the intervention of the moon.
The first one will occur about sunset on Febru*jy 1, and if a bright, clear day, we sh&ll have a fine chance to watch the event. The sparsely inhab ited island of the South Pacific are the favored places for viewing this plie notnenon in its most interesting phases, for in that region the eclipse will be annular and the central part of the sun will be cut out of view.
The Lotus Club Minstrel:.. The Lotus Club minstrels show to be given in Music Hall on January 20 will be an interesting affair. All the first class Crawfordsville talent will be employed and in addition Stan Wilhite will come up from Bloomington to do several of his clever turns. (J. Raymond White is also on the bills for a star part. The costuming of the aggregation will be superb and the management predicts a first class performance.
A LIVELY TIME.
old Alps. Williams Has a Tantrum When the Brown Children Are Taken to. the Orphans" Home..
Monday morning Marshal Grimes and Constable Hernley procured a cab and driving around to the old Divine property on Pike street entered the house effected the capture of the three little Brown children, whose commitment to the Orphans' Home was secured by members of the Humane Society last Saturday. The youngsters were bundled into the cab without ceremony and the whole thing was done so quickly that old man Williams and wife, their grandparents, didn't know what was going on until the cab was fairly out of 6iglit. Then the old lady who is neanng dotage, set up a howl that raised the neighborhood. She whooped and cried and cavorted about until quite a crowd had assembled. Finally, however, one conversant with the circumstances quieted her down by promises and assurances. The old couple, while not able to keep the children supplied with the barest necessities in the way of food and clothes, were bitterly opposed to letting them go to the Home. If they had been apprised of this morning's programme in advance it is likely the officers would have baen obliged to break down a barricade to get the youngsters- The children are now safely lodged in the Home and are perfectly contented.
WINDOW GARDENING.
Some Valuable Siujjrestions are Offered by the Government Kxpcriment Station.
Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station. Newspaper bulletin No. 41, Dec. 30, 1S90:
Too often the class of plants' selected for window gardeaing are not adapted to the conditions of temperature and light to which they are subjected. Generally only two classes of plants are grown those requiring a temperature of from 50 to 00 degrees Fah. at night, with a rise of 10 to 15 degrees during the day, and |thoBe which require a temperature of about 15 degrees less. In the first class are included geraniumB (wita the exception of pelargoniums often called Martha Washington geraniums), roses, fuchsias, ferns, palms, begonias, etc., and -in the latter, carnations, hyacinths, cyclamens, cinerarias, geranium (pelargonium) azaleas, primroses, etc.
Plants grown in a dry heated atmosphere do not thrive as well as those grown in a most »one, and are more subject to the attacks of red spider and aphis (lice). The air may be rendered moister by-Jkeeping an open vessel of water in the room. Red spider may be kept in 1 check by frequently spraying the plants with water, while the aphis can usually be deterred from attackingfthe plants by dusting them occasionally with tobacco dust. If they should prove troublesome, they may be killed by spraying the plants with a liquid tobacco solution. A tobacco extract is also 6old under the name of "Rose Leaf Extract," which is a valuable insecticide.
Different classes «of plants require soils of different textures and richness, hence it is difficult to give a mixture suitable for all.^A potting soil meeting the needs of most window plants is found in a mixture of two parts loam and one part each of leafmould, manure and sand.
It is often necessary during the winter months to supply some liquid stimulants to the plants, in order, in the case of ilowerii.g plants, to increase the number and -size of the flowers, and in that of foliage plants to pive a darker and more luxuriant growth. These artificial stimulants may be applied in the form of manufactured plant food, or what is infinitely more satisfactory, if not quite as pleasant, in the form of liquid manure made from a mixture of cow and sheep manures, in the proportion of about four to one, with a small amount of ashes to furnish an excess of potash. These ingredients should be steeped in a barrel or tub of water for several days before using. Care should be exercised in the use of artificial stimulants of any kind as they will injure the plants if applied too strong, or in too liberal amounts. Liquid manure made according -.to the method described, should be diluted until it resembles the color of weak tea. Plants should not at first be watered oftener than once a fortnight with it, gradually in creasing in frequency until once or twice a week is reched.
