RHUBARB

is another desirable article, especially
in seasons like the coming one, when
summer fruits will be scarce. 1t is
more easily and quickly grown than
asparagus, and a dozen roots are
enough for a largefamily. The ground
should be made very rich and deep
nearly as directed for asparagus. But
the trench or bed tor a single row
need not be over two or three feet
wide. The plants can be had cheaply
at the nurseries, and should be set
two feet apart in single row, or three
feet, if a double row or square. The
roots should be taken up and divided
every three or four years The leaves
should not be cut until the next season
after planting, hence new bed should
be formed one year before the old ore
is destroyed.
Asparagus and rhubarb. beds should
of course be located next to the fence,
or in such position as not to interfere
with the planting of the main part of
the ground, where tie garden is de-
signed to be plowed each spring.
SHADE TREES FOE STREETS.
Now is the time for planting shade
trees foT sidewalks, and on this point
1 would suggest that little more
taste in the choice OF trees and little
more variety of kinds, would be quite
an Improvement.
A large majority of the trees planted
on our streets the past FIVE or six
years have been the soft maple, white
or red for the reason that these trees
can be more cheaply or easily obtained
than any others. But the growth of
the trees, on good soil, is too upright
and rapid, and the foliage is of a dull,
light green, not nearly az desirable in
either respect as the hard or sugar
maple. which was more commonly
chosen in former times.
But it would be better still If some
of our citizens would plant other kinds
than the NAPLES, at least for the sake
of variety, as our streets are too mo-
notonous. The elm, for instance, is
fine street tree, can be easily pro-
cured and will thrive well where the
soil is not too dry. The linden or bass
wood is also very good, where the soil
is not poor. The European species is
prettier and more compact in growth
than the native. It can be obtained
at the nurseries. The tulip and Gu
cumber trees also would make pleasing
variety, and if transplanted with care
from the wood or the nursery, seldom
fail, especially if the surface of the
ground is well mulched after planting.

Timely Hints on Horticulture
,LAxTISG ASPARAGUS AND RHUBAEE
Every family should have an aspara

Every family should have an aspara
gus bed. 1t is q most welcome and
desirable spring vegetable, and diff.
cult to be procured in our village
markets. Then, too, it takes so little
room and needs so little care and cul-
ture after it is once started, that there
is no good reason why every house
hold that has a garden should not
have asparagus. But somehow, most
people have got an impression that the
making and planting of an asparagus
bed is a very difficult and expensive
Job. For instance, one of my neigh
bors went to work, the past week, and
excavated the ground three feet in
depth, and filed it up mostly with
manure, then he was going to plant
on it lot of old asparagus roots from
a led that was mostly worn out and
was in the way of new building;
but this he found was not the right
way.
The true way, or all that is neces-
sary, is to dig out the ground about
eighteen or twenty inches in depth,
throw the bottom soil on one side to
be carted of, then take good manure,
or scrapings from thestreets, and mix
it with the top soil that was taken out,
filling the bed or pit even full, tread
ing it moderately. Now procure from
enc OF the nurseries good asparagus
roots, one or two years old-they cost
only about 81 per 100, and 200 will
serve for a moderate family. Set these
roots fiat on the surface of the bed, in
rows about one foot apart, and the
plants nine inches apart in the rows.
Then the 200 plants will need bed
our feet wide and thirty six feet long.
Now cover the entire bed with three
inches of good mellow earth, mixed
With old manure, if at all poor, and
read it moderately on the roots, then
axe the surface smooth and the Job
5 done. All that is required the first
-ear is to keep the plants free OF
Eeeds, and at the end of the season,
'efore winter sets ID, cover the bed
With old manure, which is to be raked
IF the following spring,
If the plants were two years old
Then set, and everything right, the
rowth will be sufficiently strong to
ear some cutting for use when the
ed is year old; but it is generally |
etter to wait till the second year,
hen it may be cut pretty freely, but
ot continued too long, or the growth
viii be weakened. After the third !
eason it may be used freely until
,reen peas come in use, only remem.
'er to give the dressing of manure !
ach winter, and if the crowns of the
oots appear within an inch or two of
he surface give a coating of fresh '
arth in the spring.

OUT OF WORK.

Bread or blood is strange cry to
be raised in this happy land, but il
has lately, nevertheless, been heard
from the mill operatives thrown out
of employment in Paterson, New
Jersey. Crowds of excited laborers
have there to be daily dispersed by
the authorities, who appear to have
found it necessary to augment the
police force to perserve order. The
benevolent societies of that city arc
doing all in their power to alleviate
the suffering, from 1000 to l 200 per
sons being now taken care of by
them. Those operatives who are
fortunate enough to own houses and
lots are mortgaging them in order
to support their families, while 9th
ers who are not so fortunate are ex-
changing their furniture, wardrobe,
watches, ETC., for food and fuel
Children are begging in the streets,
and many pitiable cases of indivi-
dual distress are reported. The mum.
Der of adults out of employment is 6,
600. The forty-eight establishments
of Paterson employed 10000 hand,
and the pay-rolls show reduction
of 5,75S workingmen. Several of the
firms talk of starting silk mills, and
the city offers to sell 100000 worth
of bonds, tine proceeds to be used as
a relief fund during the winter.

THE AVERAGE CONGRESSMAN.

The Boston Advertiser says: The
average politician fondly imagines
when he has compassed an election
to Congress he has become a ma
tional character; and so, indeed he
has temporarily. While he contin
ues to have vote on matters of ma
ticnal legislation he will be an OBJ
ject of regard by many in all sec
tions of the country but the num-
ber of those who succeed in making
such an impression on the public
affairs that they are long missed
when their term of service is over
is small proportion to the num-
Der who go up to Washington big
with anticipations of glory. Their
experience is repetition, in an 9th
er arena of that of the youth who
goes to college. Few are the fresh
men who do not expect to win dis
tinctIon in their course. Some OF
them are noted in their time for
scholarship, or proves, or social
accomplishments. But it is only
now and then one has a career so
exceptionally honorable that the
fame of It is preserved by tradition,
and serves to kindle the emulation
of successive classes. There are
many Congressman, but few of them
are long remembered for their Con
gressio1al services after they have
withdrawn from the capitol.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS.

Quite a number of supercilious
opposition papers are making merry
over the suggestions contained in
the Presidents Message. for the
promotion of closer commercial fe.
lations between the United States
and Brazil, more particularly with
the great Valley of the Amazon.
The matter, however, is worthy OF
very thoughtful consideration. In
deed, the subject is already attract
ing a large measures of attention
from Our Southern ports. The Bra
LILLIAN trade, which is very impor
tant, is-at present carried on by the
merchants of New York, Boston and
Baltimore, but the cities OF the Mis-
sissippi Valley are uniting in an en-
ergetic movement to make New
Orleans instead of the Eastern ports
the seat of our trade with that coun-
try. 1t is singular to what lengths
of puerile absurdity the desire to
crafty political grudges will drive
some people.

GREAT BRITAlN'S NAVY.

A fair idea of the numeric cal
strength of the navy Of Great Brit
ain may be obtained from the fact
that Britannia has to-day two hun
dred armed ships cruising in differ
ent parts of the world. This arma-
da is divided into eleven squadrons.
Any one of the subdivisions can be
concentrated at a given point at
short notice. Laid up in the dock
yards of England, and lying in Eng
lish harbors, there are between five
hundred and six hundred more YES
sells of war, probably one-third of
of them in readiness to proceed to
to sea at a days notice. Such an
enormous naval establishment as
this entails great annual cXpendi-
ture of money, but in the end it no
doubt proves 4 source of profit, for
it protects and fosters British com
merce on every sea and guards Brit
ish enterprise from justice and ag-
gression in every quarter of the
globe.
