stated that he had q bed in excellent
condition, which was planted over !
hundred years ago, by an English officer
who served in the Revolution.
First dig trenches n foot deep, Of
any desired length, and three feetapart
as we think Q bed containing six hun
bred square feet would be large enough
for family use.-thongh this would de-
pend something on the size Of the family
for such a bed it would take 200 plants.
These plants should be set in the bot
tom Of the trench one foot apart and
covered with fine earth n inch deep.
From time to time duringthe summer
the ground should be hoed to kill the.
weeds, and at the same time q small
quantity of earth drawn into the trench
| taking care, however, not to bury the
crown too deep in the early part of the
season. as this will have q tendency to
check the growth. Late in the fall the
land may be made smooth, though We
prefer not to do all the dwelling in the
season. The second year do not cut
any for use and be sure and Keep down
the weeds. In the fall it will do no
harm to cover the bed with an inch of
coarse stable manure, it will start quick
er and stronger in the spring from such
treatment.
As soon as the ground is sufficiently
dry, in the spring, fork into the bed
good coat Of fine manure You can this
season cut out some of the largest stalks
for table use without injuring the bed.
After this season you cannot injure the
bed by cutting; take every head that
shows itself if you wish, no harm will
done.
We know Of no insect or disease that
affects asparagus. Good culture will
produce good results: poor culture can
not kill it. Keep down the weeds and
give it plenty Of manure. 1t will thrive
on any kind of land. We have seen it
growing on a gravel bank, and also seen
it growing on a salt marsh.
This leads us to remark that we don't
take any stock in setting asparagus
beds. Salt simply does not kill it; it
will live through more salt than any
other vegetable we know of, but it is
worse than useless and We have aban-.
doned its use many years ago.

Linen Lawus,

Sheer lawns are the only linen fabrics
that are imported for summe dresses,
and these come in new designs of large
flowers and oddly shaped figures, with
lines like crackle patterns all over the
clear white grounds. Tucked, shirred
and blouse waists, with a belt of the
same, over which n velvet belt may be
worn, are the designs of these simple
dresses. The short, round skirt has
two or three gathered founces upon it,
which may be simply henmed or else
edged with Hamburg embroidery, and
the fayorite oversight has ashort wrink-
led apron front. Wide stripes Of clear
blue or red are also popular patterns
for these sheer linens.-Harperis Ba-

Have styles OF Your Own.
The typical American woman adopts
every new style as soon as she sees or
hears of it. She is attracted above all
things by novelty, and becomingness is
q secondary consideration. A typical
French woman will find u style that
really becomes her, and wear it two.
three, or four seasons-until she finds
another more becoming. There is in
this city an exception to this rule in the
person of a handsome American society
woman, who is never seen in a bonnet
that is not more or less of the Marie
Stuart shape. A very beautiful French
woman lever appears in anything but
the most unobstrusive of small bonnets.
I know another, also French, who
always wears an oval-shaped hat
or bonnet of moderate size. There
is a distinct and special charm about a
woman who has a style.of her own-al-
ways provided it be a good style. An
originality or dis~tinctiveness in the
matter ofhead-gear is, of course, more
noticeable than any other. Irecall the
wife of al artist who once spent some
months here. She was commonly called
q beautiful woman, but was in reality
somewhat plain, with a very poor COM
plexion. The fact that she wore the
Spanish mantilla, and woreit gracefully
and habitually had such a peculiar
charm, thatpeople were really in earn
estin calling her beautiful when she
was in reality aplain, put infinitely
charming woman.

The Secretary of the Iowa Protective
Association, expresses the opinion, in
his annual report, that "henceforth the
wire monopoly will devote its time and

make the litigation as expensive and

Have strong harnesses, with extra

Have a new pillow point ready when the

and you will make the weeds skip and
the hoeing easy and your back will not
ache so much.
In the Iowa horticultural report O.
II. Gardner speaks of the value Of ever
greens as a shelter for small fruits. He
says that q small fruit patch surrounded
| by evergreens has produced double the
quantity Of fruits and plants over that
not thus protected.
The Growers Journal predicts a small
crop of fat hogs the coming summer,
owing to the scarcity of corn. and warns
packers in Chicago not to let the small
packers throughout the country absorb
all of the surplus, for which purpose it
advises paying better prices, and thus
draw the trade to the city. Do you
hear that?
In 1883, no less than 76 $685. 500 tin
cans of tomatoes were put up in the
United States, the wholesale value being
about $4,000, 900. Maryland puts up
about one-half of the product, and New
Jersey over a fifth. There are fifteen
other states which have packing houses,
Delaware, California, and Ohio being
the principal packing states.

For h Cook.

The cake par excellence now is q lay
er cake with chocolate and cocoanut
mixed together and put between the
layers. Prepare the chocolate after any
of the well known methods, and add the
grated %cocoanut to it. No one can
think, who has not tasted it, what u de-
lectable morselit is.
Corn DoDGERs.-Five tablespoonful
of Indian and one tablespoonful of -four
mixed together. Mix over night with
enough boiling water to cover. In the
morning put one egg, n teacupful of
milk, q little sugar and salt. Bake in
muffin rings on a griddle.
CHICKEN Soup.-Boil the bones of
Two chickens, with half an onion. The
next day skim off every bit of fat, and
add half a cup Of pearl barley which
has been soaked over night in cold
water. Salt and pepper. Just before
serving sift in one-third of a cupful of
dry fine bread-crumbs.
To make succotash that will taste
nearly if not quite as fresh as that made
in summer, soak one pint of dried corn
in sweet milk all night. Soak an equal
quantity, or less if you prefer it, of
dried Lima beans for three hours in
lukewarm water. Then let them sim
mer for nearly M hour, add salt, butter,
pepper and a very Little sugar.
Hash made ofbits of roast beef or lamb
may be given a very good flavor by using
raw potatoes instead of cold boiled.
Chop the potatoes very fine, in the pro-
portion of two-thirds of these to one
third of meat. This will require a long
er time to cook, of course, but it is a
dish much liked by many people.
If you wish to improve upon the
usual method of smothering beefsteak
with onions, try this: Cut one quart OF
onions in very small bits, not wei an
inch long, and as thin asa sharp knife
will cut them. Let them lie in cold
water with a good sprinkling Of salt in
it for half an hour. Drain them we'll,
and fry them in q deep frying pan, with
a good deal of very hot lard in it.
They will cook Immediately and be
CRISP anu mOSt excellent.
Court plaster made at home is econ
omical, and is said to be highly success
full. Dissolve n pint of French ISM
glass in n pint of warm water; to this
add ten cents WORTH of pure %glycerine,
and five cents worth Of tincture Of ar
MICA; lay a piece of black or white silk
on a board, and paint it over with the
mixture.
To CLEAN SMvER-PLATE.-First wash
the silver free from dirt and grease with
soap and hot water, then let cold water
rnn on it from a tap orpump for a min
ute or two and rub it thoroughly dry
with very soft cloths. Then rub it all
over with a piece of wash leather,
which should be kept impregnated with
dry rogue powder, so that the plate can
| be rubbed with it without much powder
coming off. Afterward brush out all
engraved portions with q soft plate
brush to remove any particles of rogue
powder that may have gotten into crew
ices. Finally rub off with dry wash
leather. Take care that leather and
i! cloths are free from grit.

Special to the Appeal
BIRMINGHAM, ALA, January 21.-The
City Council has accepted proposal
from a broker here to negotiate a new
$4,000 series of city bonds at par, in con-
sideration of one and half per cent. COM
mission. This is ten cents better than the
former bonds, issued last year and the
year before, brought. The Council is TAX
ing advantage of this good credit OF the
city by anticipating her revenue. 1t has
just borrowed $4,000 to pay expenses
with, instead OF issuing scrip. Pay
ment in scrip involved considerable
loss to such of the payees-the police
force notablv-as could not afford to hold
it. When it was called in to he cashed
nearly all of it was usually found in the
hands of half dozen scalpers, who had
bought 1T at considerable discount, some
times as much as twenty per cent.

tain officials on railroads. The average
legislator feels it incumbent on him to
yield to what he calls public demand.
In obedience to this demand, bill has
been introduced in the Senate forbidding
the acceptance or use OF a Tree pass on
railroads by any character OF officer what
ever in the State, intending editors, pub
fishers and attaches OF newspapers that
do any public work, either State, county,
municipal or legal. The bill has been
twice discussed By the Genate. without
result, and recommended to the Judiciary
Committee. Should it become a law in its
present shape, the fear is expressed that
the freedom of the press will be greatly
abridged and its progress retarded, for it
is said that the greatest and most appreci-
ated freedom the average Mississippi
paper men enjoy is their ability to travel
free. Deprive them of free passes, and
most of them will have to remain at home.
This blow should not be struck at the
press, the great ''molder of public sen.
ment." This, however, is retribution
visited on them. In this matter
the engineer is hoisted on his own
petard." Many of the newspapers of the
State have taken up the refrain of the
grangers and joined the public clafnor,
not supposing that their individual privi-

fected thereby. If the free-pass system is
demoralizing in its tendencies, the "mold-
ers of public sentiment" should have
temptations to generalization withheld
from them by the strong arm of the law,
that they themselves may not become i'm
pure and pollute the "pubiic sentiment"
which they are smolding." This, / sup
pose, prompted the move to include them
in the free-pass bill.
The Legislature has inaugurated gen
eral investigation as to the conduct of
public officers and institutions. A joint
comittee of investigation has already WIS.,
tied the Luuatic Asylum, in course of
construction at Meridian-one has been
appointed to visit Alcorn University,
and one to investigate the several State
offices. These moves for investigation
were not based upon any actual or
supposed malfeasance or misfeasance in
the conduct OF any Office or institution.
The heads of the several departments of
the State invite and welcome the strictest
scrutiny and the most rigid investigation
OF their offices, extending to the minutest
details.
