Government Ald q AarlouI

A ~ ~ ENNHR -
The agricultural appropriation bill
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1882, has finally been enacted by
Congress in commendable shape. We
are especially grati6ed that not only
does it include $685.. 900 for expert
ment stations under the Hatch act
SIS, 900 TO one station each ID thir-
ty-eighG states and in Dakota-bnt
also carries $4,000 for an Expert
ment Station Division in the Agricul-
tural Depart ment. Such q central
headquarters can do much to pro-
mote efficient work among the sta
tions. and can compile their most inn
portant results for popular distribu-
ton. The brief experience under the
Hatch Act Indicates the wisdom OF
some central control to a limited ex-
tent, which without friction should
systematic some of the work that
various stations are not duplicating
at hanhazard. This idea was not in
cluded in the original act, Int il likely
to be- enacted Tic E~ItUy-seConu
Congress. Certainly some effort
should be made 10 prevent the waste
or errors made hv some OF the sta
lions, as in Missouri since Prof.
Sanborn has been displaced. Such
abuses react against all the institn-
tions under the Hatch Act.
Other features OF the appropriation
bill that are praIseworthy are the
slight increase in salaries ~ the chem
lists, liberal provision for grass expert
ment stations. and for Investigating
peach yellows and hog cholera, The
Appropriation OF 10000 for silk cul-
ture IS open TO the criticism that
small practical results have as yet
been attained by such expenditures.
On the other hand, 1t is far better
that the government carry this test
to a tinality, and conclusively demon
strate whether silk culture can be
made profitable, than that many
poor people should spend time and
money in this work. The same view
may be, and is, taken Of the expen-
siye sorghum sugar Investigations,
which, however, are about to bear
fruit. Ii is quite as necessary that
the Department prove that q certain
industry - not practical, and thus
prevent the masses from embarking
IN it to their lois. as it is that the
government should work out the
successful development ol new IDEAS
in farming. The muchlaughed5a at ten
farm was worth all it cost by proving
that there was no money in the ten
crop. But there is small ground for
the past and present system OF seed
Distribution, ard it is gratifying to
have assuranc &r3m both House
and Senate thai it viii be reformed
by being largely transferred to sthe
respective State experiment stations.

Original Method of Courtship.

The principal exhibit in evidence in re-
cent divorce suit was q hymn book. The
plaintiff and defendant had occupied places
side by side in church, and their acquaint-
ance had really begun in the pew with the
young mans polite attentions over the hymns.
He found the places in the book, and shared
it with his fair neghbor. From that sprang
friendship, which in time merged into affec-
ton. The fellows method of courtShip was
neat and original After finding the hymn
that the pastor had given out, he would fol-
low it through while 1t was being read from
the pulpit, and deity underscore words and
phrases that conveyed his sentiments to the
girl OF course. as she came across these
marked hymns as they were being melodi-
ously and impressively sung they impressed
romantically.
Further along in this process OF wooing the
sutton got to interineations,t so that the rever-
entail lines of the hymns were garbled and
extended TO serve his passionate meaning.
Just how far this hymnal courtship was sup
ple1nented BY spoken words is matter about
which the parties differ radically, but the
hymn book serves as an indubitable record
The girl doesn't Seem to have lost her pres
ence of mind for a moment, however, on these
occasions Of mingled piety, poetry and pas
sion, for she coolly dated each of the amended
verses Thus she preserved in chronological
order the chaps pencilings, and she hopes
that the hymn book will be worth $40, 900,
that being the sum for which she has made
ready to sue.--New York Sun.

THE LONDON BUS.


Space Allowance for Each Passenger-Reg-
ulatiOns-The Driver.
Omnibus service in London is excellent,
and although the rate of fare is ridiculously
low, the London General Omnibus company,
which controls most of the omnibuses in
London, last year declared dividend of 10
per cent Some omnibuses have three horses
abreast, and are licensed to carry forty-two
passengers-twenty inside and twenty two
outside. 1t is part of polieeman's duty
to watch omnibuses and see that they do not
carry more than the licensed number, and
they perform this duty with considerable
zeal. Each passenger is allowed sixteen
inches of space, and as a rule every Londoner
will insist on his sixteen inches.
The rate of omnibus fare is something like
apenny two cents mile on some lines and
less than that on others. You can ride from
the Albert memorial III Hyde Park, east
ward, to Regent Circus, nearly two miles,
for two cents, but there is also halfpenny
bus. From Charing Cross TO and over
Westminster bridge you can ride for one
cent, in fact that sum is the only fare charged
on this line The vehicle carries Just ten
passengers SO that the company receives ten
cents for each trip. The buses start full
from each terminus and seldom pick up pas
sengers on the way
Omnibus drivers receive $40 50 a week
excellent wages for men of their class. II
has often been said that the best way TO see
London-its streets, buildings and its people
from an outdoor point of view, is to get Oh
the top of an omnibus. Omnibus drivers arr

During talk held, a year or two ago, with
the delightful veteran actor who has just left
US, William Warren, of Boston, he told me
story of himself that seemed TO me finer
piece of dignified humility than anything he
had ever enacted on the boards After the
death of q well known Bostonian, some years
since, Mr. Warren, who had been one of his
friends, was invited to be pail bearer at the
funeral. ION going to the place appointed"
he said, II learned for the first time that my
companion in the funeral procession was to
be Mr.. Robert c. Winthrop. l went at once
to the gentleman who had charge of the ar
rangements, and said to him decisively, This

generous self humiliation was needed, bu

The short, brisk Frenchmen gave place to
tall, dark eyed, dark browed Castilians, who
