1t was believe. a beautiful day;
The meadow, think. was sweet with clover;
I'm pretty sure that the birds were gay,
And sang their bithe notes over and over.

suppose the trees were never greener;
II my love wasn't happy, twas quite absurd;
She was fairer, think, than I'd ever seen
her.
II me memory's right. we stood by the brook:
I guess there was water-there is in season {;
We had wandered there, believe, to look
AT somethng-if not for another reason
'Tis likely my love wore dress OF pink
And smile, perhaps, that was most ailuring;
Her bat was on top Of her head. think,
And her eyes, no doubt were reassurIng.

Many things do think. but one thing k7IOJc-

FIGS AS A FOOD.
The Most Nutritious of All Fruits Except
the Olive.

The Most Nutritious of All Fruits Except
the Olive.
One of the Persian Kings caused the
celebrated Attic figs to be set before
him whenever he dined, for one reason
to remind him that the land where they
grew was not yet his and that, instead
of receiving the fruit as a tribute. he
was obliged to buy it from abroad; and,
for another, that it was not only the
emblem of health, but the most whole
some fruit grown. The fig is now pref
ty we'll known to be, especially at GER
tain seasons, almost the common food
of the Italian people; and for months
they may be said to live entirely upon
them. 1t is not the superfuous, the
luxurious; and thus, as DR.. Nichols
says, it is not only possible for a man to
live upon figs, but that, sitting under
his own vine and fig tree, a man would
have plenty of food and no landlord.
When eaten fresh, it is a medicine as
well as food; and they who eat them
freely need no potions and no
aperients. Full OF nutrition and all
those properties that make it valuable
as an article of diet, We are confident
that the fig will take prominent posi-
ton in the estimation of all who work
for and believe in food reform. For my
self, would simply add that, again and
again, without liquid of any kind, ths
luscious green fig, eaten with whols
meal bread, he's formed a dish at ono.
simple but rich. and, like the Span
iard's salad, fit for king. The fig is
not only very popular. but it is the
most ancient fruit We cultivate. In
many countries the failure of this crOs
also means starvation and famine.
Travellers in Asia Minor and southern
Europe provide themselves with figs
and olives as provisions for long jour-
neys, and not only live, but grow fat on
the diet The fig has more medicinal
properties and more nutriment than
any other fruit with the exception Of
the olive.-Interior.

MANURES FOR FRUITS.
A Question of More Than Ordinary Interest
To HOrticulturists.

A Question of More Than Ordinary Interest
To Horticulturists.
In the valley of the Mississippi where
apple orchards have suffered from alter
nations of heat and drought in summer
and drought and cold in winter one
half, if not two-thirds. of the trees of
mature age alive and bearing five years
ago, are now dead. Farmers and fruit
growers are coming to recognize the
fact that something must be done to
save the poor remainder, and they be-
gin to realize the necessity of manures,
though not necessary on nine-tenths Of
the wheat and corn soils of the West.
If apple or other sour fruit-trees are
growing on such land all that is neces-
sary to keep them in vigorous health
and fruitfulness is to secure to them a
monopoly of the soil and the rainfall
and to keep all weeds and grasses in
complete subsection; but it will take
long time to beat this fact into the
heads of the average man who has lost
a portion of his orchard and has re-
solved to save the remainder by liberal
manuring. Some kinds of manure, how
ever, and some modes of applying them
may be absolutely hurtful to apple
trees. If sheep are kept in an orchard
and the land is not Overstocked, the re-
suit is beneficial, for they eat the fallen
fruit and distribute droppings over the
whole area. But if sheep manure be
distributed in quantity under the trees,
it has a tendency to draw the woolly
bark louise; and horse manure has the
same effect. Cow manure attracts the
white grub, and fresh and unfermented
manure of any kind produces the white
rot of the roots. Liquid manure, COM
pounded by soaking apple pOmace with
pigeon dung, guano and the like, and
made quite weak. is an excellent fertili-
ger, which may be used by amateurs on
a small scale. If to apple pomace fif-
teen to twenty per cent. of fine rock
phosphate be added, it is the best of all
fertilizers for the apple and pear.
Along shore where seaweeds abounds,
no better and more profitable uses of it
can be made than to apply it literally
to apple orchards. And last, but not
least, no more successful use can be
made of tobacco stems than to mulch
fruit trees with them; they repel in
sects, absorb moisture and in that way
make an excellent mulch, and as they
rot slowly they give up potash salts and
other forms Of plant food essential to
the health and fruitfulness of all sour
fruits.-B. +. johnson, in N. Y. Irib-

TIE HANDSOME MAN.
What Constitutes One According to Fanny
Ferns Critical Mind.

Well-in the first place, there must
be enough of him; or, failing in that
but, come to think of it, he mustn't fail
in that, because there can be no beauty
without health. at least according to
my way of thinking. In the second
place, he must have a beard: whiskers
if the gods please, but a beard / in
sist upon. else one might as well look
AT girl. Let his voice have dash of
Niagara. with the music of baby's
breaking forth of the sunshine on
spring morning. AS to his figure, it
should be strong enough to contend
with man, and slight enough to trem-
bic in the presence of the woman he
loves. OF course, if he is well-made
man, it follows that he must be grace
full. on the principle that perfect ma
chinery always moves tremendously;
therefore you and himself and the milk
pitcher are safe elbow neighbors at the
tea table.
This style of handsome man would
no more think of carrying a cane than
he would use a parasol to keep the sun
out of his eyes He can wear gloves,
or warm his hands in his coat pockets,
as he pleases. He can even commit the
suicidal-beauty-act of turning his out
side coat collar up over his neck of
stormy day with perfect impUnity. The
tailor didn't make him, and as to his
halter. if he depended on this hand
some mans patronage of the --latest
spring STYLE" fear he would die of
hope deferred; and yet-by Apollo!
what bow he makes, and what an ex-
pressive adieu he can wave with his
hand! For all this he is not conceited
for he hath brains.
But your conventional handsome
man of the BARRIERS window-wax-fgure-
head pattern; with pet lock in the mid
die of his forehead, an apple-sized head,
and raspberry mustache with six
hairs in it; pink spot on its cheek,
and a little DOT of a goatee on its cum
ming little chin; with pretty blinking
little studs in its shirt-bosom, and
neck-tie that looks as if he would faint
were it tumbled, I'd as lief look at
poodle l always feel a desire to nip it
up with pair of sugar-tongs, drop it
gently into bowl of cream, and strew
pink rose-leaves over its little remains.
Finally, my readers when soul mag
netizes soul, the question of beauty is a
dead letter. The person one loves is
always handsome, the worlds arbitrary
rules Notwithstanding; therefore when
you say, what can the handsome Mr..
Smith see to admire in that stick of
Miss Jones?" or "what can pretty Miss
T see in that homely Mr.. Johns?" you
simply talk nonsense, as you generally
do talk on such subjects. Still, the par
son gets his fees, and the census goes on
all the same.-Fanny Fern, in the n Z.
Ledger.

KEEPING VEGETABLES.
How to Keep Garden Roots Quite Fresh
the Year Around.

How to Keep Garden Roots Quite Fresh
the Year Around.
An exchange says: "Apples. potatoes,
cabbage, and some times beets. turnips
and parsnips may be kept until spring. y"
This length of time will doubtless apply
to ordinary modes Of storage in cellars,
but with suitable packing We find no
difficulty in keeping garden roots quite
fresh the year round. There is little
difficulty in retaining potatoes in near
ly as good condition as those freshly
dug, provided the temperature is kept
so low that they will not sprout or
grow, the skin being nearly impervious
to moisture so that they will not wilt.
Beets, turnips. and especially parsnips,
become withered and dry in compare
lively short time, and it is essential to
imbed them in suitable packing sub
stance to prevent the escape of moisture.
Saw-dust, slightly damp (but not wet),
answers an excellent purpose, provided
it is placed in boxes sufficiently small
in size to prevent heating. All the
interstices between the roots must be
compactly filed. They should then
be kept in cool cellar. Saw-dust
being an excellent non-conductOr Of
heat, a few degrees of frost in the cellar
for few hours, during an excessively
cold snap, will not be likely to reach
them. We have kept garden beets in
this way through the twelve months,
and taken them out in November APP
parently as fresh as the day they were
dug. although with some loss of flavor.
Parsnips, which witl,er rapidly when
exposed to the air, may be kept fresh in
this way during winter, but those need
ed for spring use SHOULD be left in the
ground where they grew, and taken out
in spring for ready use, or else packed
away by the mode already described,
for longer keeping. They may be al
lowed to remain in the ground few
weeks longer, if the roots are not al
lowed to become exhausted by the
growing leaves, which is prevented by
cutting off the starting foliage rapidly
with light hoe ground sharp on the
grindstOne.
Cabbage, intended for early use in
winter, or for a few months, may be
kept by mode somewhat similar, US
ing slightly damp moss instead of saw
dust, or the latter will answer nearly
as well. Procure good sized or long
boxes, cover the bottom with two or
three inches of the moss, place STRAIT
um of the cabbage heads regularly and
compactly on this layer, after adding
another layer of moss proceed as before.
till the box is filled. A quite low tenn
perature for the boxes is desirable, and
some frost occasionally will do no harm.
When moss is used for packing roots,
it answers a good purpose if rubbed or
ground rather fine or pulverized. 1t
may be necessary during winter to ex-
anime the degree of moisture, and if
quite dry or likely to become so, to APP
ply more with watering pot, but not
to drench them. 1t is essential to
maintain low temperature, to prevent
any danger from rotting. Country
