wilson. in his report on the agricultur-
al exhibition held at Vienna Last year,
mentions that, along with the samples
Of Hungarian hops, was shown q plan
IF the method ofcultivation carried out
at Belle, adapted for all other distrlcts
where wood suitable for hop-poies Is
scarce. Wooden pegs or short stakes
are driven into the ground, az such DIS
tances apart as it is intended to plant
the vines: and ut longer distances-Hs-
mally about 20 to % yards-light poles
are erected with height of from II to
n feet above the surface, so that there
are paraIlel lines all over the ground
of short stakes or pegs placed az cefIain
distances, and projecting aboute 10 ~
inches in height, while parallel rows Oh
poles, from II to L, feet high, cross these
at right angles, and at from 20 to 20
Yards apart 4 stout wire Is stretched
horizontally from pole to pole all over
the ground, while vertical wires OF
light ropes, made of any suitable mater
ial, are attached to- the pegs and carried
ND and fastened to the horizontal wires
tins offering a steady support to the
hop vines during the period OF growth;
At harvest time the ropes are detached
and carried to the field cleared for the
usual tillage operations without the eX-
pense of shifting. stacking and reset
ting the poles. This plan has been car
ried out during several seasons at Belle,
and has been introduced into Wurtem-
burg, Baden, Bavaria and other hop-pro-
ducing countries, with satisfactory re-
suits.

The Beauties Of Bible Language.

If we need higher illustration not only
of the power of natural objects to adorn
language and crafty taste, but proof that
here We find the highest conceivable
beauty, we would appeal at once to the
Bible. Those most opposed to its teach
ings have acknowledged the beauty of its
language, and this is due mainly to the ex-
quisite use of natural objects for illustra-
tlon. 1t does indeed draw from every field.
But when the emotional nature has to be
appealed to, the reference was at once to
natural objects, and throughout all its
books, the stars, and flowers, and gems,
are prominent as illustrations of the beau
ties of religion and the glories of the
church.
The wilderness and the solitary place
shall be glad for them, and the desert
shall rejoice and blossom as the rose"
The mountains and the hills break
forth before you into singing, and all the
trees of the field shall clap their hands
Instead of the thorn shall come the fir
tree, and instead of the briar shall come
up the myrtle tree"
The power and beauties of the same
objects appear in the Savior's teachings.
The fig and the olive, the sparrow and
the lilly of the field, give peculiar force
and beauty TO the great truths they were
used to illustrate.
The Bible throughout is remarkable in
this respect. 1t is collection of books
written by authors far removed from each
other in time, and place, and mental cul-
ture, but throughout the whole nature is
exalted as a revelation of God Its beau
ty and sublimity are appealed to, to arouse
the emotions, to reach the moral and re-
ligious nature This element of unity
runs through all the books where refe-
rences to nature can be made. One of
the adaptations of the Bible to the nature
of man is found In the sublime and per-
! feet representation of the natural world,
by which nature is ever made to pro-
claim the character and perfection Of God
No language can be written that so per-
fectly sets forth the grand and terrible
in nature, and its forces, as We hear when
God answers JOB out of the whiriwind.-
No higher appreciation of the beautiful,
and OF God as the author of beauty, was
ever expressed than when our Savior
said of the lilies of the field, " | say unto
you that even Solomon, in all his glory,
was not arrayed like one of these;" and
then adds, 90 If God so clothe the grass of
the field" ascribing the element OF
beauty in every leaf and opening bud to
the Creators skill and power = Prof

Fruit as a Medicine.

Ripe fruit is the medicine of nature
Nothing could be more wholesome for
man or child; and although green fruit
is, of course, almost as fatal as so much
poison, the ripe is fully as thorough a
health restorative and health preserver.
Strawberries are favorite with all classes
and constitute popular luxury. But
who can compute the amount of general
health promoted by this relish for straw
berries? Who can imagine how many
pills that relish throws out of the market?
or, in other words, to what extent these
pills prepared by Mother Nature, and
sugar coated, ras it were, to render them
more palatable, crowd out of use those
prepared by the chemist and the apothe-
cary?
Who can tell the number of disorder
ed livers, deranged stomachs, and afilict-
ed digestive apparatus generally, the CRATE
full acid of that delicious fruit gradually
restores to a sound condition, mocking
at all the skill of the ablest physician,
vindicating the simple laws of Hygeia
by their radical action, and teaching us
how often panacea for some of the most
painful of human maladies lies directly
at our feet, and is condemned because it
is so unassuming? After straw berries,
we doshomage especially to peaches and
apples. They are the kind OF drugs that
cost comparatively little and do compara-
lively much, when the patient is not too
far gone for the use of such pleasant
medicaments.
We knew person once who, believ-
ing himself in decline, and having been
completely worn out in patience by the
experiments of his doctors determined to
eat from four to six ripe apples every day
and note the result. In three months
he was well! We know of another who,
without being afflicted with any particu-
lar disorder, was never in good health,
and for twenty five years could scarcely
be said to enjoy a single weeks exemp-
tion from suffering. He then COM
menced the habit of drinking glass of
plain cider every morning, aud for the
next twenty-five years never had single
days illness. Such remedies are simple

A Westchester Cow.

On last Saturday party of gentlemen
met by appointment in a field near Yon-
kers for the purpose of practicing at base
ball. Having dlvested themselves of part
of their clothing, the exercises were car
ried on for some time, when they ad-
journed by mutual consent to a spring
near by, in order to refresh themselves
with drink of pure water. Before leav-
ing the playground, however, the entire
party carried their coats, etc., away
with the exception Mr.. Alonzo Leonard.
He did not think it necessary to take his
superfuous clothing from the ground, as
the party would return in few moments.
The moments, however, &ere extended
into minutes, and a COW evidently hav-
ing peculiar taste for dry goods = hap
pening to pass that way, commenced by
eating Mr.. Leonard's neck tie, his cuffs
and collar soon followed, and the animal
was in the act of masticating his vest
when the owner came to the ground
This was rather an.expensive mouthful,
as one of the pockets contained about
fifty dollars in United States currency.
The party, after a smart run, managed to
surround the beast, and by taking hold
of corner of the vest which protruded
from the mouth of the COW, they succeed
ed in depriving her of the costly morsel.
The vest was ruined, but the money was
found intact, although completely satura-
ted Yithssaliya.

What Is a "Tare"

A father living near Cincinnati, was
one evening teaching his little boy to re-
cite his Sunday school lesson. 1t was
from the fourteenth chapter of Matthew
wherein is related the parable of the mali
cious individual who want about sowing
tares, &C.
"What is tare ?' asked the anxious
parent.
johnny hestated.
''Tell me, my son, what tare is. !"
"You had 'em p said Johnny, casting
down his eyes aud wriggling his feet.
"Had 'em !'Sdid the astonished par
ent, opening his eyes rather wide, "why
what do you mean, Johnny ?"
"When you didn't come home for three
days last week." said Johnny, II heard
mother tell Aunt Susan that you was off
on a tare."
The Sunday school lesson was brought
to an abrupt close, and Johnny, the cum
ming little rogue, was sent to bed.

A Mother and Child Nearly Strangled
bV a Snake

Mrs. Richardson, near this town, miss
ed her little boy yesterday, and went
out in the garden to hunt him. To her
horror, she saw the little fellow, eighteen
months old, literally enveloped in the folds
of monster snake. She heroically seiz-
