Cultivation OF Asparagus.

The requisites necessary to success in
asparagus culture are depth in richness of
oil,and one of the chief errors is crowd
ing plants in the bed. The most eXpe-
dititious way of starting asparagus beds
or rows is to set out the plants, which
may be obtained at small cost. One
year-old plants will succeed, but two
years old are preferable.
Any good garden soil properly culti-
waited will grow asparagus, but the soil
best adapted is deep sandy loan. The
land is prepared by blowing in good
dressing of manure, and narrowing and
rolling it. Where the plants are set in
beds, the latter should be marked out
sufficiently narrow to permit of cutting
to the center without stepping on them
Many gardeners are giving the prefer
ence to- long single rows over the short
er beds. In these rows hundred or
two of plants are set, foot and half to
two feet apart, so that the crowns are
four or five inches below the surface of
the ground, with the roots well spread
out. Other cultivators set out several
rows, striking the burrows out with a
pillow three and half to four feet apart.
The roots are planted six or eight inches
below the surface after the burrows are
filled, so as to permit of the employment
of a harrow over the tops of the roots
without injury to them. The space be-
tween these rows is sometimes planted
to another crop, such as carrots, and af-
ter this supplementary crop is harvested
the ridges are leveled down.
Plants may be raised from seed sown
early in the spring in rows foot apart
and kept clean by frequent hoeing and
wedding. 1t is well to soak the seed,
previous to sowing, in tepid water for
twenty-four hours. A pound of seed
will produce about 5000 plants. Two
hundred plants are sufficient to supply
the requirements of family. About
$4,000 plants are required to set an
acre of ground. Plants grown from the
seed may be transplanted to permanent
rows or beds at one or two years old.
At time of setting out care must be OBJ
served not to cover the roots too heavily
at first and thus smother the plants,
but leave some soil to be raked in and
fill up the ditch gradually with each Of
er-cultivation.-N.Y Y. World.

Eating Between Meals.

This habit should always be discour-
aged. Three regular meals are enough
for almost every one. can not think
of any case where a person OF average
health, or a child old enough to talk
plain, can habitually need more fire.
quent meals, if these three are of good,
wholesome food. Eating lunches be-
tween meals is habit easily acquired,
but troublesome and unhealthy. To
keep little children from acquiring this
habit, see that they have plenty to eat
at their regular meals-plenty of good,
nourishing food. Many seem to sup
pose that if the stomach is filled with
something at meal, especially if tt at
something be made to "taste good" it
matters little what the filling may he.
People speak Of an empty stomach as
the one great evil in case of delay about
meals Genuine hunger is the real
need of the body for more building ma
terial. Hunger is often fancied (more
often than genuine hunger is felt) by
those who have plenty, because there is
a sense of emptiness in the stomach,
which is kept so constantly filled as to
have little chance for rest. My baby's
case convinces me that eating between
meals is mostly a mere habit. lie has
always been well nourished. / found
that he was more contented and slept
better at night when he had good. full
meals-mostly sifted Graham cruel and
milk, or bread and milk, after weaving,
for q few months-and he always ex-
pected to finish his meal before he
turned to anything else. Before he was
a year and half old it was quite no.
ticeable that he hardly ever wished for
anything between meals, even when
Others around him were eating. Some
who had a theory that children should
eat little and often, felt sure that he
ought to have something between
meals; but if they can show me a
stronger, plumper mot .faO, or more
rosy-cheeked, healthy fellow of two
years, 1 should like to see him.-Cor.

Too Well Healed.

Old Smokey, a peripatetic preacher,
well known to California, is such an ar
LEM believer in scripture, says the Car
son (Mo.) Appeal, that he is ready to
bet on any proposition laid down in tho
bible. A few weeks ago he visited the
lake and stopped on Sunday at Glen
brook. Being nearly penniless. he de-
termined to give an exhortation, and.
getting the use Of a hall, called the sin
ners together. His text was the marine
episode, in which Jonah was taken in
by the whale.
Now, my hearers, to the class of peo-
pie who never look beyond the surface
of things this looks like a hard story to
believe, but l know it is so, every word
of it"
He saw an incredulous look on the
face of a few of the hard cases in tho
front row, and, after pausing a moment,
continued:
''Tn bet any man in the crowd 800
coin up that l can prove every word Of
it. Does anybody respondP"
He thrust his hand down into his
trouser pocket and leaned forward. He
went on with his sermon, showing con-
clusively that the whale did all that was
claimed for it, and then passed around
the hat.
He that giveth to the poor lendeth
to the Lord" he said as It went down
the row.

where neither moths nor rust corrupts,
nor thieves break in and STEAL" he re-
marked again, as he saw the hat COM
ing back.
1t was handed to him empty, and he
dismissed the audience with a hastY
benediction. After the services he met
one of his hearers, and complained bit
terly of the lack of coin and enthusiasm
in the town.
We've got the enthusiasm here, par
son." said the man addressed, shut

three hours at 3 time; usually much
less They are very often required to
SUI constrained attitudes, which can
only be maintained for a few minutes
without a rest. Then even standing

very wearisome. But this is the least
of their evils. There are probably few
occupations more dangerous and injur-

In the majority of cases they sooner or
later contract colds which often result
fatally in consumption. OF course we
heat the studio to a high temperature
when models are present, but without
any clothing they are completely expos

A Great spsouIators Gratitude.

It happened about twenty years ago.
says the Wall Street News, when people
had an idea that gratitude was ready to
bubble up in the human heart at a mo-
ment's notice. A stock speculator was
waiting at the corner of Broadway and
Vesey street for an omnibus. Whether
he fell into q reverie over the graves
just owe the fence or was wondering il
Lake Shore would advance another peg
matters not. A runaway horse took the
sidewalk just below him, and so deep
vas the SPECTATORS reverie hat he
would have been run down and perhaps
killed. had not n friendly hand clutched
and dragged him aside.
'.My friend, you have saved my
life!n gasped the rescued man. as he re-
allied his escape.
Perhaps so, but don't mention it.
I'm glad to have been of service to
you."
Whats your name?n
John Smith"
'Well. Mr.. Smith, I'm a man who
can return a favor. My gratitude is
more than words can express. What
can do for you?"
..Ohi nothing, l guess"
"But shall. l speculate in stocks.
shall tomorrow buy &c. 900 worth of
lime Ledge canal stock for you. hold it as
our broker. and turn you over the pro-
ats for n year. Such heroic conduct as
yours must not go unrewarded. Good
light. my dear Smith"
Tradition has it that one year from
that date John Smith sat in his Office.
4 boy appeared and handed him q let
ter He opened it TO find that it was
from the man whose life he had saved.
He also found that the $40. 900 had been
Invested as promised, but that Lime
Ledge stock had kept falling a little at
a time, until S400 out of the $4,000
had been lost. Inclosed was a state
mcnt and a bill for this deficiency,
which he was asked to remit by bearer.
Since that date Johu Smith has had
hundreds of chances to save human life

fused to extend a hand in each and ev-
cry case. 1t would make a poor man q
