Manure for Grass.

No crop gets less attention than grass.
If manured at all, it is only incident
ally with some ether rarely for
itself alone. Corn, wheat and barley
get the manure, and when seeded, the
young clover takes what is left. After
this, If the field be MANFRED, the drop
pings of animals left in lumps over the
field are all that the lands get till they
are plowed again. This is considered
improving the soil; and it is. No mat
ter how mismanaged, clover is ben
eft, and whatever else he may do, the
farmer who sows and grows clover, is
making his farm better. What, then,
might not the result be if the same
care were taken of the clover field as
to other crops? 1t does not need cult
yation; the long, deep reaching roots

THE HUNGARIAN STATESMAN.

His Simple Way of Living-His Peculiar
Traits-The Only Legacy He Would Re-
ceive.
Many interesting anecdotes are told
of the statesman, Francis Deak, who
has lately died in Hungary, illustrating
the Spartan-like simplicity of his life.
Titles and decorations were offered him
IN abundance, but he refused them all.
Lucrative posts were pressed upon him
in vain. He would hold no office but
landed estate brought him small
income. 1t is said that his expenses
We're about ST. 900 year He lived in
little apartment up two flights Of
stairs. Many were the attempts made
by his friends, in collision with his
landlord, to persuade him to change his
quarters to the floor below, but all were
unsuccessful The municipality gave
his name to the street in which he
lodged. That would no doubt have in
duced him to move had he not known
that wherever he went the name would
IL Low him. When summoned to meet
the Emperor Of Buda, to confer upon
the new form of government, he Went
IN one-horse cab, wearing his every
day clothes. Probably he did not pos
sess such an article as a dress-coat.
Inc courtiers were scandalized that he
should invade the sacred presence of
majesty In such apparel, but he repre-
sented the organized will of the Hun
garlan nation, and the emperor would
have received him gladly if he had
worn no coat at all. He used to ride
to the House of representatives in an
omnibus that passed his door, A car
rage was presented to him, but he re-
fused to accept it. Then some of his
arlstocratic admirers who were unwill-
ing that their great leader should in his
feeble health be crowded in public
conveyance, bought one of the omni-
buses of the line, and at the hour
when he left his lodgings the vehicle
regularly approached his door as if it
had just happened along and not yet
picked up any passengers. AS soon as
ne got In it drove directly to the Parlia-
ment house. After while Deak dis
covered the cheat and never entered the
pretended omnibus afterward. He &C
csepted but one legacy, and that was the
three penniless children of his dead
TREND the poet Petofy, the author Of
the Szozat-the Magyar Marseillaise-
whose patriotic verses had made him
much beloved by his people. AS soon
as it was known that Deak had under
taken the care of the orphans, a sub
scription was set on foot, and a fund
amounting to over 100000 was raised
for them in a few days. They thus be-
came rich, but their benefactor died as
he had lived, poor as far as material
possessions constitute wealth, but in a,
true sense the richest man in all Hun
gary. His wealth was the love of
whole nation, won by his unselfsh de-
votion to the cause of freedom. Every
patriotic Hungarian mourns his loss as
that of father and benefactor.

Friendship.

The point that we wish to make is,
that we should not expect to to have
the sentiments and actions of our
friends and companions always equally
satisfactory to us; and after we have
once made up our minds that, on the
whole, we like certain person; that
we like certain or all of his ways, opin-
ions, tastes, uahties-whatever it is
that draws us to him, it is rather fool
ish to be rejudging him too severely
every five days on new issue. After
a man is once member of the Nation
al Academy he should not be subject
to the annual weighing in the balance
of the Academy's Hanging Committee.
You may say that after you have
known man well for thirty years
and that is long lease for friendship
in this mutable world-it is idle to talk
about it's being possible for him to sur
prise or disappoint us. But did you
ever hear of the old mans disease D
avarice? Do you suppose that an af
fiction like that comes to the surface
late in life, if the seeds have not been
deep in the soil all the time? But that
is hard and cruel question. Let us
rather speak of a more pleasing and no
less surprising development. There
was an old woman about whom we
once wrote, to prove by example that
it is the disagreeable young folk who
make the disagreeable Old men and
women, and that sweet girls and boys
need not be troubled by the nightmare
of sour and Grabbed old age. The
woman we wrote about had lived out
and down three husbands, and was
about as unpleasant an old Cos
sip as you might meet in a days
journey; yet the traits of her age were
only the traits of her youth, stripped of
whatever charm youth must have lent
her. But presently, after we had held
up this aged person as a warning and a
consolation, what does she do but fall
into her second childhood, and develop
one of the sweetest and gentlest dispo-
sitions with which mortal ever blessed
his or her neighbor. All she asked was
her doll and her prayer-book, and all
went merry as a marriage bell. No;
we never know our friends. And, GU
riously enough, while we are going on
with our discoveries concerning them,
they are making the same observations
upon us, and are having the same sur
prises and disappointments.-Th Old
Cabinet; ScYSb1ser for Febrat0yp. j 50

Hops.


The history of the introduction of
our public records, is by no means de-
void of interest. It is stated that in
the fourth year of King Henry vi
(1425-36) an information was laid
against a person for putting into beer
can unwholesome weed called an
hopp;" and that in the same reign Par
lament was petitioned against "that
wicked weed called hops" In the
reign of Henry VIII their use seems
to have been fully established, although
the brewer of the royal household was
prohibited from using it in his ale. In
the statute book for 1856 the cultivation
of hops is distinctly sanctioned; and in
1874 Reynolde Scot published black
letter treatise, with woodcuts, expressly
on the cultivation of hops, which is call
G. "A Perfite Plat Forme of a Hoppe
Garden" Q
In 1903 English grown hops were ex-
tensively used, as appears from an act
of James [, and although their use was
petitioned against and nominally con-
demned in the same reign, this prohi
bition was little attended to-. Another
article which "the famous city of Lon
don" also petitioned against would
be nowadays regarded as even more
indispensable than hops. Blith, in
The English Improver Improved"
published in 1861, says: It is not
many years since the famous city of
London petitioned the Parliament of
England against two nuisances, and
these were Newcastle Goals, in regard
to their stenches, etc., and hops, in re-
gard that they would spoil the taste Of
drink, and endanger the people" But
from this time forward the general use
of hops was thoroughly established.
An act passed in the reign Of Queen
Anne inficts penalty of EGO upon all
brewers who shall use any other bitter
than hops in their malt liquors, and
similar enactment under George III,
imposes fine of 95 per cwt. upon
those who shall adulterate hops by Civ
ing them scent or color by drugs, while
the cutting of hop vines growing in
plantation is made felony "without
benefit of clergy" Although the chief
use Of the hop is that connected with
our national beverage, it has been put
to other purposes Of some little impor-
lance. Cloth Of considerable strength
is made from the fbrous stems of the
plant in Sweden, and the Society Of
Arts in 1874, awarded a premium to a
Berkshire farmer who had succeeded
in similar manufacture. The attention
of papermakers has also been directed
to this as to most other fibrous plants.
The young shoots are sometimes cook
ed and eaten like asparagus, and are
said to be very good; in Geralds days
these buds or first sprouts were used
in salads, although that author regard
ed them as more toothsome than
nourishing."
AT East Weymouth, Mass, there is
an old horse which for many years has
been in the habit of taking the family
to which he belongs to church, starting
as the bell began to ring. Last Sunday
the whole family were detained at home
by sickness, but the horse succeeded in
some way in getting free, and as the
bell rung started for church, remained
in the church shed until services were
over and then returned home.
