At a late meeting of farmers in Bos-

made. and corroborated by several of
the participants familiar with the case,
than ON the asparagus ground of the
two Messrs, Coolidge-Joshua and
John-who grow some Of the best
grass" that goes to the Boston market,
no manure at all has been used for at
least ten years, other than the tops,
and a liberal annual dressing Of salt,
usually taken from pork or fish barrels
People were long prevented from rails
ing this most excellent vegetable be-
cause of the preposterous requirements
laid down by those who first wrote about
it, The fact is, says a contributor to
Vick's Monthly, that it is the most cast

ments of any vegetable, while there is
none more healthful or more enjoyed,
coming before any other and having 6
distinct and agreeable flavor all its own,
Its use is especially recommended as
tonic for the nerves. The chief require

eRITAlN'S PARLIAMENT.
As a Political school the House of Com
mana Ia Ennnnleta IaIlnre.

mons Is n Complete Failure.
The House Of Commons is failing, as
all thoroughly democratic assemblies
fail, in the function it once served ad'
mirably, as a political school. 1t fails
d~oubly-frst, in getting a number oil
scholars young enough to learn and
next, in giving them their lesson when
it does get them. 1t may be questioned
whether we have at present, properly
speaking, any parliamentary youth at
all. At the present moment we can
hardly recall any but Sir Z. Grey, Lord
Carmarthen and Lord C~ranborne, who
poperly deserve that title, and even OF
these, the first two will complete their
twenty-eighth and the last his twenty
ninth year respectively this year, n
can certainly not be called boys. We
can not recall a single member who
came into Parliament at Pitts age, and
though we do not know the average age
Of the members, we suspect that it
would turn out to be not much, II at all,
below fifty. Take it all in all, it is GER
tainly a parliament OF middle-aged or
old men, and by no means as good a
school as the earlier parliaments of this
century have been for youthful states
men.
Almost every thing tells u~nfavorably
on the election of very young men, be-
cause large constituencies, such as are
now universal, always prefer a known
man to an unknown, and it is impossi
BILE for a young man to be known to such
constituencies, except in rare cases as
the son Of his father; and al
most every thing tells ~unfavorably OF
their training, because the concentra
ton of the attention of the democracy
on single questions, like the Irish hom'
rule question, involves a monotony o
political subject, and to insure success
a vehemence Of political defamation
which disgusts young men of any livel,
political intellect, and repels them from
politics. Finally, every thing tells un
favorably on their o~ratory, because tn
immense waste Of time on obstruction
and the perpetual re-discussion of tn
same subjects, render it hardly possibl
for them to speak often, even if the
are elected, and inspire the leaders wit

HELPING THE BOYS.


Don't frown on the boys enthusiastic
them, over one thing and another. All
these innocent hobbies tide boys over
places which otherwise might be filed
with amusements not innocent. There
is marble time and baseball time
knees to be protected and patched,
baseball suits to be made or bought.
But these things are not costly pur-
chases; so get them. II the boy has
room on his fathers premises to in
dulge in another craze, it is poultry
keeping. His f~avorite literature he
finds in poultry magazines, and his rec
reations in caring for his fowls. They
may not be found a paying investment
financially, but they are a paying in
vestment in certain ways. But after a
time the hard work connected with
poultry-raising may give place to the
lighter one of rabbit-feeding, and for
the time being every boy of the commu.
NTH comes into the yard to see the fam
lily of pretty white rabbits, which are
being so we'll cared for. But there
comes a day when rabbits are not SC
much of a pleasure as stamp-collecting
would be, and the rabbits are sold tc
procure money to invest in a STAMP
album. Then the autograph album
comes in for consideration next, and al,
the family, the teachers and the school
companions, including the minister ant
other choice friends, are asked to con
tribute to the pages Of the autograph
albums.
Country boys have plenty Of range 70
their schemes in out-of-door pastimes
but city boys are hemmed in, often
times, in such a way that it require
considerable tact and financiering +
keep them i%nnocently, but happily EN-
ployed. Time and money and interes
in boys ''crazes" Of these kinds, pay
good dividend, and parents should hel

MARRIAGE A FAILURE.
Great Men Who Did Not Know How

Great Men who Did Not Know How to
Choose Fitting Wives.
The question has been recently dis
cussed, "Do able men make wiser mar
riages than other people?" and the i'm
preston seems to be that tho question
should be answered in the negative. In
stances are given Of rulers who had the
faculty of choosing men by the eye who
made bad blunders in the choice Of
wives. For example, Justina had the
keenest eyes for able agents; witness his
choice of Belisarius and Narsus-a
choice which the Palace must have re.
garded as a mere caprice of despotism-
and the men who codifed Roman law;
yet Justinian picked Theodore out OF
the whole world, and that lady, even If,
as is probable, Procopius libelcd her, can
hardly have been a success, either as
wife or Empress.
Henry VIII, who must have had
wonderful eyes for men fitted to carry
out his will, who picked out Wolsey and
made Cranmer, and gave a start to the
first Cecil and the first Russell, and used
exactly the right parliamentary agents

sinai's Musical Sand Hill.

This hill, or bank, has been known
since 1908, when it was discovered by a
Russian traveller. The hill lies on the
Gulf Of Suez, two days journey by
camel west Of Sinai and seven days
southwark from Suez. From Suez to
the sand hill there are but two water
ing-places. The hill is about three
quarters Of a mile from the Gulf OF
Suez. 1t is about 800 feet high, the
sand sloping back at an angle Of about
81 degrees. When the sand is set in
motion there is heard a deep bass note
like the lowest bass note OF a pipe
organ with the tremulo stop. 1t can be
heard from 100 to 800 feet distant. The
sand is Of quartz mixed with grains Of
calcareous sandstone. The Arabic
name Of the hill means a wooden gong,
such as is used in monasterics TO sum
mon to prayers. There is a tradition
hundreds Of years old TO tho effect tina
hidden away in the bowels Of the earth,
to DO reached by a passage somewhere
near this sand-hill, Is q monastery sur

Arabs attribute the sound Of the sand Il
