in bringing liquors, where they might

The Hop Fields ofthe Pnyaiiup.
Whoever has taken upon himself the
trouble of comparing the different river
valleys around the Sound, one with
another, cannot tail to notice the local
differences of soil, productions, &c, rs
well AS the different institutions, social
and otherwise, that pervade these re e
piops. These iii illcrcnt institutions de
pending partly upon natural features,
aud partly upon the class ot people who
settled there, and the institutions they
would choose to form. Each community
being usually best studied in the light
OF It's leading, representative interest,
The hop interest is emphatically the
leading agricultural interest of the Puy-
allup, being to thar section what grain
is to the Swinomish, butter to the CHM
scum settlement, or the logging and hay
Interests are to the Snohomish.
The accounts are somewhat cOntra-
dictory, as to whom the hon or should be
given Tor establishing this industry in
that valley.

pertinent in 1864.
lie set out kind of hops that would
yield less, aud not grow AS large as the
hops now in cultivation. They had no
regular hop house or other arrangements
tor carrying ON the business. Their ex'
pertinent was 80 successful however that
others followed their example.
In the spring of 1865, Mr. L. +.
Thompson sent to San Francisco and
purchased twenty five hundred hop roots
tor one hundred dollars. These in few
years superseded the nAorc inferior va
rieties cultivated, Mr. Thompson
claims, that from the two acres they were
sufficient to set out, all the hops now in
cultivation in the Territory and Oregon,
were derived. His neighbor Mr.. Meade
joined with him in the enterprise. They
have been in partnership ever since.
They claim also to have established the
first regular dry house and hop yard in,the
valley, calling it the Pioneer Hop Yard
OF the Puyaliup."
The three largest hop raisers now are
Ryan Il Avery, Thompson & Meade, and
L. Meeker. Tho first cultivating this
year some thirty y.nine acres, Thompson
& Meade about thirty acres, and Z.
Meeker little less
Some OF tue other leading hop raisers
are:
J. W. Low, 20 acres,
Fred Clark, 10 acres,
Kincaid Bro, IA acres,
j. Carson, l2 acres,
J. K. Dickenson, ~ acres,
Archibald Mcmillan, 12 acres,
A. Fl. Woolery & Son, II acres,
o. VI. Annis, 10 acres.
There are several farms having several
hop yards on each farm, owned by seps.
rate individuals. In this class are:
Vanoble's farm, 30 acres,
Lemons farm, 50 acres,
McCarty's farm, 10 acres.
The only portion we studied particu-
larly Were the hop fields in the Sumner
settlement. Doubtless there are other
large fields that should be classed with
the above that are omitted.
Mr. Meeker informed us that they had
caused men to 20 up one side OF the river,
and down the other to count the number
ct acres grown iu the valley, The re-
suit being, that they reported some 500

How THE FRENCH WORKMAN

any other. His food is cheaper and
more nourishing. His bouiilon is
the liquid essence of beef at pen

charge, and is the best bread in the
world. His hot coffee and milk is
peddled about the streets at sou
per cup. 1t is coffee, not slops.
His half bottle of claret is thrown
in at a meal costing twelve cents.
For g. few cents he may enjoy an
evenings amusement at one of the
many minor theatres, with his cof-
fee free. Sixpence pays for nice
Iy-cushioned seat at the theatre. No
gallery gods, no peanuts, pipe,
smoke, drunkenness, yelling or
bowling. The Jardin des Plantes,
the vast galleries and museums OF

free for him to- enter. Art and sci
ence hold out to him their choicest
treasures at small cost, or no cost at

Education.

do not advocate the education of
the masses as panacea for all the ex-
listing evils of society, but do insist
that systematic and judicious efforts
to educate the people must improve
the type of man, and that accordingly,
as a matter of public policy, looking
to the elevation of the race, those
efforts should he encouraged. Certain
ly no arguments that will bear criti-
cism, have yet been advanced against
popular education as measure of So
cial improvement, while the movement,
although often opposed by able wri-
tiers, has steadily gained in public ia
vor. until surrounding all obstacles, it
has become irresistible. Many of the
objections which have been urged
against popular education. apply only
to the transient state through which it
is yet passing, for the full fruits are
not to be expected in one generation,
or several generations, but are to be
reaped ultimately in the improvement
of the race.-GeD. Logan's Address in
Virginia.
What good thing it would be if the
rising generation could be instructed
in hygiene! A few minutes daily de-
voted to this branch would be worth
more than the hours given to arithme-
tic and grammar. The time may new
er come when we can dispense with
the services of specialists in medicine
and surgery, but we look for o time
when men will know better than to go
to sleep in room as tight as the ''black
hole of Calcutta" A thousand reforms
in dress and diet are needed. If the
study of physiology cannot be thor
ough and extensive in common schools,
it will at least be suggestive.

Taking things too literally is a
fertile cause of amusing bIunders.
Two costermongers claiming pro-
prietorship in one donkey, went to
Westminster County Court to ge.
the dispute decided. After hearing
q part of the evidence, the Judge said
they had better settle the case gu.
of court during the adjournment for
luncheon. Upon the court reopen
ing the defendant told His Honor
it was all right; the donkey was
his. Turning to the plaintiff the
judge saw his personal appearance
was altered for the worse; but be-
fore he put any questions the de-
fendant went on TO say that they
had found q quiet yard 10 settle il
in, as his Honor had suggested. He
had been rather rough on the plain
tiff, bat couldn't help it; they had
only half an hour TO pull il off in,
and plaintiff was q much rougheI
customer than be looked to be,
The expIanafion was conclusive. ii
not quite satisfactory to the court
and the donkey became the prize OF
the victor in the fight.

Protection of Fruit Tree!
From Rabbits.


From Mr.. j. r. Pierce, of White
Cloud, Doniphan county, we are in re-
ceipt OF an interesting letter, which
con tainS the following:
As the time will sOoon come when
fruit trees should be protected from
that pest, the rabbit, i send you my
remedy, which saved my fruit trees in
Iowa eight years, and it has proved a
perfect remedy IN Kansas for the last
ten years with me. l take a bucket
that will hold about % gallons of wa
ter, first put in one pint of flour (Of
rye, wheat, or buckwheat), add two
pounds of pulyerized sulphur and
enough water 10 stir it into q paste,
using a Hat stick to beat it smooth
then fill the bucket with water, and
apply TO the tree with a white wash
brush stir the mixture, say once in
ten minutes when using it; when half
used out of the bucket Till up with wa
ter, then use all up and start anew.
The above is sufficient for 800 to 500
three to five-year old treEs. l have
washed from 500 to 700 in a day. l
apply the wash in the fall, when |
think danger is near; then again in
the latter part of February then again
the first week in May. l make this
last application of the wash always be-
fore the 10th day of May, so as to head
off that little slut, the mother of the
borers, and have no trouble with them

The BEGGAR AND THE LEPER.-
A poor beggar overwhelmed with
want and misery, res dyed one da y
to drown himself. Arrived at the
brink of the river, he was about to
throw himself in, when a leper who
was passing asked him to point out
the dwelling of a certain physician,
who might perhaps be able to cure
him.
Brother" said the beggar, "you
had better follow my example, and
thus speedily deliver yourself from
your malady."
"No," replied the leper, 81 wish
to recover. I am by no means tired
of life"
A wise man who was passing by,
and heard the dislogue then said:
my friends, if you each persist
in your first resolution, you ought
to exchange your modes of action
let the leper plunge frequently into
the water, and he will be healed
while you, poor man. may commiI
suicide in the speediest and most
certain manner possible, by putting
yourself into the hands of a physi-
cian.'

Frank Rand, the desperate who rob-
bed the house OF Woolford Price, at
ellison, Knox county, ILL.,, on Aug. 5
last, and when pursued turned and
killed Charles Belden and wounded
another of his pursuers; who three
days afterward robbed the house Of
John II. Scales, at st. Elmo, Fayette
county, and when oVertaken by MIR.
Scales, shot him dead, and when still
further pressed and besieged by large
crowd OF armed men in corn field,
killed Frank Barnes and wounded
Frank Wiseman-this notorious despe-
RADIO was captured in st. Louis on the
18th of Nov :, but not until after a
desperate struggle in which he shot
and fatally wounded a police officer
named White, and was himself shot in
three places, but will recover. The
clue which led TO his discovery was the
fact of his having paWned valise IN
Sc. Louis some months ago, and subse-
quently sent an order through the eX-
press agent at Elmwood, ILL.,, to have
the valise sent TO Decatur. The ex-
press agents receipt tor the money was
dropped by Rand in his flight from st.
Elmo, and this scrap OF paper led to
his capture as above stated.
He has been taken back to Illinois
for trial and hanging there. His real
name is probably not Rand, but he SO
far refuses toreveal his previous life.
LATER.-Frank Rande, has at last
revealed his real name. He says it is
Chas. c. Scott; that he was born In
Clayville, Washington county, Pa, and
is thirty-seven years old; that his fam
lily live in Fairfield, Iowa, and that he
has a brother living there, black
smith. He said he was the party who
jumped handcuffed from car six years
ago, near Abba, Iowa, on his way to
the States prison, and escaped. His
story is verified by his brother, who
has gone to see him, and says he will
pay lawyers to defead him. Fine fam
