~precipitate events so awful, would
probably have been more shocked by
them than any other man in Europe.
For he was not like his chief-he had a
conscience and a heart; and he was also
unlike his chief in lacking that magniti-
cent self-confidence which is often as
great a hardener Of the nerves as true
courage. Bismarck, with that keen and
almost cruel eye of his. soon found this
out, for, meeting Lord Salisbury at
Berlin, when the representatives of the
great powers met, he described Lord
Salisbury as a .ath painted like iron.
Many of the worst catastrophes Of his
tory are produced by weak men who
desire to appear strong.
The Marquis of Salisbury at the pres
ent moment is to some extent on the
decline. Arthur Balfour has immense
ly advanced in his public reputation;
and, above all things. he is touchy with
his party, while Lord Salisbury is not.
Indeed, except in the case of the late
MI. .Parnell, there has eve been an
instance in which a political leader has
kept so far apart from his followers as
Lord Salisbury. This is due to many
circumstances, but mainly to his in
tense love of study and his intense owe
of home.
1t is known that his singularly rich
intellect, in addition to it's immense
literary aptitudes, is scientific, n that
he works in his laboratory with almost
as much industry as a professional
chemist or a man Of science to whom
the study Of natural phenomena is the
sole interest Of life. Out Of touch with
the house of commons. feeling unfamil-
lar with the details Of Its warfare, pas
sions and moods, he rarely got on a
platform without committing some
blazing indiscretion which it took all
the subtlety and all the energies of his
adroit nephew to undo. But the future
Of every politician is dark-and the
iunionist party must settle their own af-
fairs. !
!. Let us dismiss Lord Salisbury with
some gratitude that. with all his faults,
he has given the country an example of
political highmindedness and personal
cleanliness of life which will be Of
its valuable heritages-i in all its future
political experiences.

Mr.. Beresford Hope. who founded that
journal-and expended upon It and
upon churches a vast portion Of his
patrimony-was his brother-in-law; and
thus the young writer found a ready
made place for his pen. The character
of the Saturday Review in it's early
years must have come largely from
Lord Salisbury. The Saturday Review
gave Lord Salisbury bread; and he him
self was ready to say SO many years af-
terward, w~hen-having reached the
great position Of foreign secretary in an
hour of national crisis-he presided
over less fortunate members of the
journalistic profession.
To this day one can see traces Of this
period. 1t is, perhaps, as much a result
OF this form Of training as of temper
ament, that the dispatches and the
speeches of Lord Salisbury sacrifice so
much to style, regard epigrams as
harmless luxuries of writing and the
neat %collocation of epithets as more i'm
portant tina the stern facts Of life. 1t
was enough to make ones blood run
cold to read that dispatch which Lord
Salisbury issued in the very midst of
he Russo-Turkish crisis, and to see
how the Saturday Review-unregener-
ate, vehement, and impulsive-wrote as
If his words were not things which
might bring into motion and collision
nlyriads of armed men and the clash of
ironclads and eighty-ton guns. 1t was
this epoch in Lord Salisbury's career
which elected from Mr.. John Morley
one Of the finest Of the many very fine
passages in his platform speeches. He
reminded a great audience in ST. James
hall that in Alpine heights the deadly
avalanche, which brought death and
desolatior to the quiet villagers below,
often was so neatly poised that the
sound of a human voice was enough to
bring it down; and then he asked
whether, with such terrible forces in
such dread tension existing around us
in Europe, it was safe to have issuing
from the foreign Office the harsh and
thoughtless voice of the Marquis Of
Salisbury? If we escape war with Rus

that which thus, in storm and stress,

to the necessities which such a marriage

ated, Lord Salisbury owes probably his
present position more than to any other

Erect Of Fertili.lns ON Pears.

No fruits respond so rapidly to good
fertilizing as pears, and where old "a
riet1es seem to be running out a new
a of life is given to them by apply
Ing ground bone and potash, says a
writer in the "California Cultivator."
Without doubt these are the two es-
sent1al constituents of the soil that the
pear trees exhaust, and when they a
no longer draw them from their sur
roundings they refuse to produce sal
able fruits. After many years Of ex-
perience / can safely say that all of
the pear trees of an old orchard can
be revived almost beyond recognition
by the annual application of potash
and ground bone. The process I have
found the most serviceable is to apply
about 400 pounds of muriate Of potash
with 800 pounds of ground bone per
acre each year. One-half OF this mix
ture is applied in fall, and the other
half in the spring at blowing time.
Crimson clover seed is sown with the
fertilizer in order to give the necessary
nitrogen. This repeated years in sue
cession brings the orchard up to a con-
dltion where excellent crops Of pears
can be depended upon every season.
Lately many of our standard pears
have been degenerating, and wen upon
good soil they fail to produce the pay
ing crops that they should. The fruits
are small, tasteless and apt to be knotty
and poor generally. Our fall fruits are
unusually poor and insipid and If better
pears could be produced at this time of
the year there would be a better general
demand. Our fall and winter pears are
susceptible Of higher and more deli
clous favors if we only give them the
right cultivation and fertilization. The
comparative difference between the
fruits of the same variety Of pears
taken from two orchards is sufficient
to convince one Of the truth of this re-
mark. Not a few are so poor that one
can hardly believe that they came from
the same stock as the other delicious
specimens plucked from trees that
have been fortified for several years.
Herein lies the difference.
It is a crying need of the times that
orchardists should get out Of the cid
ruts, and educate the public up to a
love for better fruits. In this way the
consumption will increase. We can
only do this by abandoning the idea
that apple, pear and other orchard trees
will take care of themselves. They
will not, and never did, properly. They
need cultivation and fertilization just
as truly as do vegetables, grain or 9th
er farm products. Fruit growing re-
quires as much scientific study as grain
growing or cattle breeding, and the
sooner this is generally recognized the
better it will be for the industry.
