Book Ia Iss2, TIE cultivation OF
hop Is distinctly sza~tloaei. and IN
l51i Eeynold Scot pahlished black
letter treatise. with wooi-cuts, ex-
pre~sly on the cultivation of hops,
which is called A perfite Plat
Forme of a Hoppe Garden" In
1908 England grown hops were ex-
tensively used, as appears from an
act of James l.. and although their
use was petitioned against and NOM
inally condemned in the same reign,
this prohibition was but little attend
ed to. Another article which the
famous City of London" also petit
toned against would be nowadays
regarded as being even more indis-
pensable than hops. Blith, in" The
English Improver Improved" (pub-
lished in 1861 says: 1t is not
many years since the famous City of
London petitioned the parliament
of England against two nuisances,
and those were Newcastle Goals, in
regard to their stencil, etc., and
hops, in regard to 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
indicts a penalty of EGO upon all
brewers who shall use any other Bit
ters than hops in their malt liquors,
and a similar enactment, under Geo.
ILL.,, imposes fine of f5 per cwt.
upon those who shall adulterate
hops 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 i'm
portance. Cloth of considerable
strength is made from the fibrous
stems of the plant in Sweden, and
the Society of Arts in 1871 awarded
a premium to q Berkshire farmer who
had succeeded in q similar manu-
facture. The attention of paper
makers has also been directed to this
as to most other fibrous plants. The
young shoots are sometimes cooked
and eaten like asparagus, and said
to be very good; in Gerard's days
these "buds or first sprouts" we're
used in salad, although that auth or
regards them as "more loothsome
than nOurishing."

The Season and Zone for Homes.

One stronger reason than all others
for being glad that we live in the
temperate zone, is that it is the zone
of homes.
Greenlanders and Laplanders, it
is said, each consider their own coun-
try the fairest the sun shines upon,
and charming stories of domestic
life have come to US from these icy
latitudes. But the Esquimaux and
Kamschatkans, and those inhabitants
of extreme Arctic regions who must
live in snow huts, or burrow under
ground for warmth, cannot know the
rich and tender meanings the word
home" has for us.
How much comfort there is in our
cozy house alone-in the clean, warm
room, perhaps with q glowing fire.

And, shaking her little brown fist
at the dreaming slumberer, she laid
her head on the pillow beside him
and slept a restless sleep.
Wednesday afternoon came, bright
and beautiful.
Mrs. Margerum arranged her
silken tresees in the most becoming
and coquettish style, perched a pret.
ty, broad-brimmed black velvet hat
upon them, and arrayed in her invis-
ible green silk, with cloth polonaise
and kid gloves to match, prepared to
meet the foe.
"The dearest one shall see that
I'm not to be despised, if I haven't
her blue eyes and brass hair" she
said with scorn, as she perfumed her
best lace handkerchief with rose-
water.
As the clock struck two she set
out with beating heart for the place
of meeting. 1t was quarter Of an

quarter of an hour would Just give
them time to meet and clasp hands
and gaze lovingly at each other ere
they made pretense of studying the
wonders of the deep. The Aquar-
ium was reached. Faster and faster
beat her heart, brighter and brighter
sparkled her eyes, redder and red
der glowed her cheeks.
She had never looked prettier in
her life.
The band was playing as she en-
tered. Was he-were they there?
He was directly in front of her,
and stepped eagerly forward with a
bland smile, saying, Why, how
charming you look, Tootsey, love!
Wasn't it romantic, my putting that
note for you in my pocket? thought
it shame that you should search so
patiently and so long without find
ing something by way of recompense.
By-the-by that receipt you've got in
your work-box, take care of it. I
sent some money to your sister. She
didn't want you to know it for fear it
would worry you, but she's lost most
of her scholars and is very poor.
Mrs. Margerum bushes a still
deeper crimson, but all she said, in
a calm and child-like voice, was,

wake Up, Fellow. Citizens.

The truth is, in a single word, that
there is a lax sense of public duty
among our private citizens. They dc
not understand that they themselves
possess the power in society, in bust.
ness, and in politics, to inflict mole eff.
fcient punishment upon evil-doers than
any Of the penalties of the law; or, il
they do understand, they are culpably
timid about exercising it. They value
their comfort too much to undertake
the business of a moral police. They
shrink from applying to individuals the
general principles Of morality and re.
form which they applaud so heartily
when they are uttered in THE LEADER.
We pray for an improved city, water
and gas works, the numbering Of
buildings, but we pray still more for an
improved public spirit, which will visit
upon the person of any unfaithful ser.
want of the city the indignation Of his
fellow-citizens, which will attack the
responsible individuals, and not merely
the general system, when the streets
are unclean, the pavements are dilapi.
dated, n%uisances are poisoning the air,
the sidewalks are INSTRUCTED, and waste
and incompetency are triumphant in
the city hall.

Division Superintendent Davis has
many applications for passes, and, of
course, not one out of ten applicants is
successful in obtaining the desired doc
ument. A few days ago a well dressed
stranger stepped into the superintend-
ent's office, and politely requested a pass
to Laramie City. Mr.. Davis asked the
stranger on what grounds he asked the
favor, and the latter said: "For the

a whisper) 81 have been ordered to
leave town." Mr.. Davis admired the
mans cheek, and gave him a lift out of
town.

modest request for a pass for herself

your claims for such a favor from this
company" asked Mr.. Davis. "An' is
it that We want to know" said the ap-
plicant, land 1 will be after telling ye,
and sure it is me that does the washing
for all the boys on the railroad" Mrs.
- and her family will not go to
Omaha at present.

A serious cutting a1fray took place in
the colored den on Ferguson, at the cor
ner Of the alley between Fifteenth and
Sixteenth streets, last night. "Texas
Frank" Ed Colwell, and two other
mokes were playing cards, and dis
pute arose, in which Colwell applied
several dirty epithets to Frank, who
thereupon arose, sought his overcoat,
obtained a razor, and made a vigorous
assault on Colwell, cutting him across
the temple, twice on the head, slashing
his cheek, and ending by drawing the
wicked weapon across a wrist. Col
well bled copiously, and would have
died soon had he not been conveyed to
a surgeons office, where his wounds
were closed up. "Texas Frank - es.
capped, and is being searched for.
