If made this spring, there will be one year the less to wait. Any good. well-drained soil that will bear cern is suitable for asparagus. Put in a half cord of manure for every four square rods of round. Work it thoroughly. Set out one-year-old piants, in rows four feet apart, and two feet in the row. They can be kept clean then with the harrow orcultivator. It should have cultivation once in two weeks. through the crowing season. Cover the bed with manure in the fall, and fork it under in the spring. Cultivate thorouziily through the second season and top-dress as be- fore.

A Romantic Tale ie Early Days in the Gold Fields Pi ic Slope. From the Indianapolis Journal. A Journal representative overheard a*story which was narrated one evening early in the week by one of aparty of gentlemen who were ngaged in listening to the stories ofthe speaker {life on the frontier. and the trials and inci~ dents of the winer’s camp. The person who as entertaining the party was apparently fity years of age, whose weather beaten countenance d the fact that his life had been passed | vut of doors, and whose powerfal*frame and rawny 's indicated that, although past life's ridian, he was still in’ the heydey ef his eneth. He formerly lived in Indiana, and = home on a visit after a thirty years’ absence in the far west, most of the time having been spent inthe mines of California, Arizona, and New Mexico, THE MINER'S STORY. Talk about romantic stories!” said he. “If € got time to listen, I will tell you some- thing that happened during the early days of California, and of which I was myself a witness. It happened nearly thirty years azo, in the spring of ‘54, and at a time when there was no ‘ore government in that part of California than ere is now in the heart of Africa. All the government’ the miners knew was that of their own vigilance committee, of wuich every man | was a member, except those who needed wateh- ing and were not permitted to Join. I was lit- tle more than a boy, a great big overgrown Hoosier, but, like thousands of others, [ was smitten with the gold fever in °49, and pulled out for the western Eldorado as soon as I could get away. I drifted about from place to place until finally I wound up on a little claim on the north fork of the Salmon river, just over the | Trinity mountains from Weaverville, and that | is where this thing occurred. The miners were seattered aiong the fork pretty nearly all the way from the forks to Sawyer's bar, and it wasn't a very difficult matter to get a crowd to- ether in case the vigilantes had work on hand. qT nal for summoning the boys on such oc- ns was a certain peculiar whistle, and no ter what they were doing, just let that whistle sound, and the prospect of hanging a stuice robber or a cut-throat was generally suf- ficient attraction to cause them to drop work report at headquarters. Sluice robbers were pretty plenty in that locality, and the whistle was heard with considerable frequency.

It is poor stuff in comparison with the long, green, tender shoots that have had the fuil benefit of the sunlight ona rich soil. The leading varie— ties are the “Colossal” and “Detiance,” and are advertised by the seedsmen and other dealers each spring. CAULIFLOWER, BROCCOLI AND BRUSSELS SPROUTS. Except the cauliflower these relatives of the cabbage are little known in this country, and that is seldom grown except by regular garden- ers. Suecess depends upon good seed and rich The treatment is in all respects that mentioned for cabbazes. As with cabbages there are early and late sorts. Early kinds can only now be had by procuring plants: the late varieties may be sown when the late cabbage seed is putin. We have had good results from “Nonpariel” and “Algiers.” “Vietch’s Autumn Giant.” a new variety, is highly recommended by a friend who has tried it. Brocco, so popular in England, is rare with us. In general appearance it is like the cauli- flower, but is somewhat purple; it ig more hardy, but is regarded as somewhat less deli- ate. Cultivation in all respects the same. The “White” and -‘Purple Cape,” and “Walcheren,” are the principal sorts. BrvsseLs Sprouts may be described as a tall cabbage stump. thickly studded with little Savoy cabbazes, the size of pullet’s eggs, and with a small crown of leaves at the top. These little cabbages are the part eaten, thor the top leaves, after they have been frozen,*are edible. In taste Brussels spronts closely resemble Savoy cabbages, and as a much larger supply of Savoys may be raised from the same space, it is not worth while to grow the sprouts, save as a eurious variety. The sowing and culture is in all respects like late cabba ges. VEGETABLES NOT GENERALLY GROWN. _ There are a number of vegetables much es- teemed by some. that do not seem to have made their way into the farm garden. Kout-Rast is one of these. It has been called “Turnip-cabbage.” It is like a small cabbage with a globular stem; it is of easy culture, and if taken when young, is much superior to early turnips. If left until too old. it is very stringy. When rapidly grown it is edible when 4 inches through, but 2 or 3 inches is the usual size. It is to be sown like beets, and thinned to 6 or 8 inehes. Leexs are much valued by many in soups and stews. They are hardy, and may be sown early in rich soil; when 4 or 5 inches high, thin to 6 inches in the row, handling carefully. and trans- Plant the thinnings to other rows at the same distance. Carnoox is a tall, thistle-like plant. the thick ks of which are blanched and stewed. It is rarely seen in this country, but is highly esteemed by those who have lived in Europe. Soxret, quite different from the witt plants known by the name. Its leaves are somewhat like those of a Dock. It is pleasantly acid, and 4s cooked either by itself or mixed with spinach. SALSIFY OR “VEGETABLE OYSTER,” is a very good thing to have. It stands any amount of freezing, and comes out perfect in spring, just when one wants some succulent root fora change from potatoes. Dug, washed clean, and scraped, and boited soft, it eats well- A few bits of salt codiish added, make it re- ked oysters, in some people’s imagi- its common name. It grows very much like carrots, and is to be treated similarly. Sow in drills 15 inehes apart, in April; thin to 3 inehes, keep the weeds down during the sum- mer; and leave it until wanted in spring, but it may be drawn upon at any time when not frozen in solid. Some prefer the Scorzonera, or Black Salxify, but the common white seems of equally ood quality, and it looks better on the dish. We always want 2 15 or 20-foot row ef it for each member of the household. MELPS IN THE GARDEN.

It didn’t take long, I tell you for a crowd of two or three hun- dred ex the w! miner, had been found murdered in his cabin. There he lay, beside the fire-place, at | which he had evidently been preparing supper. his eyes wide open and staring with a ghastly | glare that was appalling. A knife was sticking in his breast buried to the hilt, which was con- vineing proof that he had been murdered. There was a decided air of mystery about the whole affair. Rodacker had lived alone, and had neither friends nor enemies, so far as any one Knew, and the result of his day’s work, a panful of washings, lay before him untouched: Evidently he had not been murdered for his money, and there was no apparent explanation for the crime. But the boys got their heads to- gether, and two or three of us remembered having seen a stranger in the neighborhood or three times during the day, and suspicion naturally enough rested on him. Several of the miners instituted search for the stranger, and an hour later brought him into camp. THE STRANGER’S TRIAL. “He was a nice-looking young fellow, appar- ently not over twenty years old, with a face as smooth as a baby’s, and little, delicate hands that showed pretty conclusively that he was no miner, used to handling a pick and shovel. He was dressed in ordinary, rough clothes, wearing a mincr’s blue flanne! shirt. As soon as he was brought in he was accused of the murder, and placed on trial before the committee. He was pretty roughly handled by the men, and I no- ticed that he winced considerably as they shoved him about from place to place, and finally bursp- ed him down on a log vetween two big fellows, who held his arms. Tne fellow made no effo: to get away, and had no more strength than a boy. but that made no difference to the men. They handled him roughly just the same. Blood stains were found on his clothes, and the sheath in his belt was empty! That was enough to convict a preacher before that kind of a jury, and it didn’t take long for them to bring in a verdict.” Here the speaker paused and relit his pipe, sending a cloud of smoke about his head. “What was the verdict?” asked one of his hearers. i “What was it? Same old thing. Never was but one verdict returned by the vigilantes, no matter what the crime of which the prisoner stood accused. Death! The spokesman got up and announced to the captive that he was to be hanged by the neck until he was dead. The boy turned pale as a ghost. and without a word or a sound, fell backwards from the log on which he sat in a dead faint. Two or three of the men jumped forward to his assistance, one of them ran to the sluice and brouzht a hatful of water to sprinkle in his face, and another fanned him, but tno purpose—the fellow didn't seem to revive, ‘Unbutton his shirt-collar,’ said some one. One of the boys stooped over and unbuttoned the collar, turning back the folds as he did so. Suddenly he jumped back paler than the boy himseif. “ Say Gon, TT’s A WOMAN!’ said he. and hic hat came offas reverentially as though he had stepped into achurch. It was Whispered around among the boys in short order, and the surprise was general, I tell you.” In these days there were no women in Cali- fornia.except in the cities, and most ofthose who were there were none of the best, and the fact that there was a woman ® our midst was enough to astonish us. But this only deepened the mystery about the murder, and we were as far from an explanation of it as we were before discovering the sex of the prisoner. A few minutes later she recovered from her swoon and resumed -her quiet demeanor. The men, of course, wanted toknow the reason for her ap- pearance in the country in that disguise, and what connection, if any, her presence had with the murder. A committee was appointed to take her aside and hear what she had to say, and to them she told her story. THE PRISONER'S STORY. souri. We were as happy together as any family ever was, and didn’t know anything at allabout the real meanness of men. One day there came to our house a nice looking young fellow who wanted werk on the farm.

After while he j bezan courting me, and I fell in love with him, fool that I was.

After awhile he bezan going to the ety with father, and we noticed that on those occasions the old man would come home under the infiuence of liquor. Matters went from bad to worse until father be- came a confirmed drunkard, and lost the farm. Well, T should say not! No, sir; that girl could have called on the crowd for every cent there wasin it, and her request would have beca to do, and where she was going, she replied that it was a matter of indifference to her. ‘The ob- Ject for which lived has been accomplished,’ she said, ‘and [ dou't care what Ido.

Instead of doing that we passed a hat around among the boys and took up a collection amounting to sev- jeral hundred dollars, which we forced her to cept. We sent her with the next pack train © Yreka, from whence she could easily get } down to Sacramento and the white settlements. T never heard of ier again. Rodacker was buried | without a recret, and over his grave one of the boys placed a board on whieh he had carved with his jack-knife: “‘Here lies a man who received his just reward.’” = bee DANGERS OF ESTHETICISM. Paper on Wygiene by Dr. Hamilton Head Before the Academy of Medi- cine—Vicious Fashions and False Ideas of Health. . Herald. 2 “The Struggle for Life Against Civilization and Estheticism” is the suggestive title of a paper by Dr. Frank H. Hamilton whieh was read before the Academy of Medicine last even- ing. As Dr. Hamilton is suffering from an asth- matic affection the paper was read by Dr. Jer- ningham. The attendance was very large and many points in the paper were loudly applauded. Tt was in the nature of a supplement to a pre- vious discussion on the subject of plumbing in particular and house construction and house sanitation in general, in which several eminent. hygienists took part. After analyzing the re- marks of the various speakers, Dr. Hamilton came to the conclusion that none of the reme- dies they suggested for existing evils was either new or totally efficient. In reference to these matters he himself held that science had not | kept pace with civilization, and that without concessions on the part of civilization there is at present no adequate remedy. He quoted the remark of Bede, ‘When men lived in houses of willow, they were of oak, and when they lived in houses of oak they were of willow.” “Since | said Dr. Hamilton, ‘we have had oc- casion to observe that when men left the open Plains and the small hamlets, and crowded themselves into the narrow limits of cities the ratios of sickness and death were propor- tionately increased. When, also, in the progress of civilization, the fireplaces disappeared, with their great open throats—the best ventilators ever invented—and decorated cast iron stoves were shbstituted, house sanitation experienced aloss which no sanitary engineer or architect has ever repaired; and when, in obedience to the same inexorable demands of progress it luxury and estheticism, gas was substituted for oil and hot air or hot steam furnaces for stoves | the hand was avain moved forward another ed miners to zather at the cabin where | le was sounded, and great was their | surprise on learning that Mose Rodacker, a | point onthe dial of human life. The means employed to light and warm, or as is often and more correctly said, to ‘heat’ our houses, hav- ing already deprived us of a large proportion of our oxygen, the plumbers have at last rendered actually poisonous what remained by connecting the interior of almost every room in our houses with the sewers. Said Dr. Parker: ‘Would a man connect a yault filled with dead bodies by pipes with the interior of hishonse? Yet this is practically what we do with our sewers. Water is no protection from these gases—from the fa- tal germs which are generated in these foul places.’ He added also that he had never seen. a case of diphtheria in this city until the Croton water was intrqduced. SANITARY ENGINEERS. “Possibly nothing wili so forcibly illustrate the magnitude of the evil we are considering as the fact that it has given birth to a new pro- fession. The calamities necessarily incident to the progress of civilization long since made it necessary that there should be a class of educa- ted men whose duties it should be to look after the rights of citizens aad another class to at- tend to matters of health, and now a condition has arisen which renders necessary a new class of specialists or professional men, called ‘sani- tary engineers.’ who are supposed to be weil in- formed in matters of hygiene architecture, or house construction and engineering, and who for the present seem to find plenty of occupation. and are, no doubt, performing a much needed and very useful service, but of whom it may be said that, up to the present time, there is no evidence that they have done anything more than to mitigate the evils they have been asked to remove; and, indeed, there may be found many notable examples in which the best sani- tary engineers have failed to effect even a miti- gation. In order, then to render pure and in- nocuous the atmosphere of our houses, whether the sources of its impurity are to be found in ourpresent systems of lightning, heating or drainage, it will be necessary first of all that civilization should make some concessions. The “+A few years ago,’ said she, ‘I lived with my father, mother and sister on our farm In Mis- term ‘civilization’ is here used in its broad and legitimate sense, as including not only mental culture, with poorer in science and art, but also the comforts, luxuries and esthetics of life, which are its natural and inevitable con- comitants. It certain of the latter elements of civilization cannot be dispensed with, it will be found impossible, I fear, to contend success- fully with typhoid fever, diphtheria and many other diseases which now contribute so largely to the increase of our mortality rates. “If we limit ourselves to the consideration of the unwholesome atmosphere of our houses— although this does not by any means constitute the only possible or probable source of sickness and physical decay incident to. civilization—the concessions demanded as a condition of the sue- cessful application of our present knowledge of the laws of hygien —First—That all plumb- ing having any direct or indirect communica- tion with the sewers shall be excladed from thoze portions of our houses which we habit- ually occupy. In other words, that it shall be placed ina separate building ot annex. Second— That we return to the open fire place or the ite as _@ means of warming our private jouses. Third—A diminished consumption of oxygen by gas burners. EXCLUDING THE SUN FROM ROOMS. “Tt is still an open question whether we shall able to light our dwellings with electricit: ut so long as we are obliged to depend upon gas we must content ourselves with light aud not insist upon illumination. The concessions demanded have been named in the order of their importance. The necessity for each is urgent, but the first admits of no compromise. There are many other possible sources of ill-health and physical decay incident to civilization than those referred to especially in this paper. The wholesome light of the sun is partialiy excluded from the apartments of wealth and luxury, be- cause it fades the costly rugs and drapery ‘and offends the educated eye by its vulvar and in- trusive gairishness; and not unfrequentiy, at large receptions, the light of the day is ex- cluded wholly, in order that the more esthetic and kaleidoscopic effects of gaslicht may be substituted, rezardless of the fact that the air is thus rendered unfit for respiration. Our social habits demand that both children and adults shalt devote the hours nature intended for sleep to amusements, which amusements are ren- dered more intoxicating and pernicions by the | prolonged respiration of heated and poisonons air. Dress makes its contribution. Utility and regard for health are almost invariably made subservient to the caprice of fashion and the esthetic requirements of civilization in matters of dress. Walking, asa means of locomotion and of exercise, is rendered difficult and some- times impossible. To romp or even to move with rapidity and sharp auzularity is unseemly in young ladies, and such young men as ‘moye’ in the most refined and polished circles nezlect- ing robust and manly outdoor exercises pose in attitudes which deniand the least possible mus- cular exertion or daudie in etfeminate dissipa- tion.

Since lace collecting and tace albums | Wasl: have become fashionable there is very littl old lace in the market. The large stores don't | pretend to deal in old lace. Except two private sales where ladies well-known in society dis- posed of their laces to friends. I do not know Of any, genuine old lace sold recently in New ae re there any good lace makers here?” “There are about twenty French and Belgian women who pretend to mak? lace, but in real- ity they only mend and clean it. We employ four | women who do very fine work. One learned her | stitches when she was six years old, from her | mother, who was employed all her life at Alen- con. Another does fine cushion work—Valen- ciennes, Mechlin, or any kind of spool or bobbin lace. Then we have an English woman who learned her trade on Honiton, and the | —— other is a needle point worker. There is con- | stant work for good lace women in joining lace | and changing it into fashionable articles.

Another arrow collar, not yet finished, will fall over this ribbon which is to tie the collar on and in pieces of lace that have charge $70 for the set. You fall in long bow and ends in front. R isa from a bit of old lace, and the pattern is a very choice one. It hardly shows that any of the figures are separate work. We can make up other patterns more cheaply. Italian children in some of the charity schools are very good lit- tle lace workers. They make leaves and flowers that contain but one ortwo kinds of stitches, and experienced workers put them into the design with needle or twisted work. “Is that collar of the fashionable shape?” “In these fine collars no two people want the same thing. If they want something that is generally worn, they go to the stores and buy it ready made. The person who ordered this brought in an old book with engravings and asked if I could copy a collar from it.” “Is there enough old lace in New York to keep many lace workers employed upon it?” “The trouble is not that people have not real laces, but they don’t wear them. Few people know how many New Yorkers have large sums of money invested in laces. Mrs. Cyrus Field has a point lace dress worth many thousand dol- lars. Now I know of as many as a hundred choice pieces of point de Venise in this city,which you know, is the oldest of all the point laces. Mrs. John Jacob Astor once lent to an exhibi- tion for a charitable purpose six pieces of sev- faery cons pot de ee besides eautiful specimens of point @Argentin, point and potal’ de Gosss, she has some lovely pieces of Louis coupe, French point, XV. Malines laces and seventeenth cen- tury English point. Mra. S. L. M. Barlow has a large quantity of beautiful old lace. Mrs. Hamilton Fish and Mrs. Jay have Venetian point flounces. It is the lace with some history or romance connected with it that one hears the most of. Mrs. Frederic Stevens has two pieces of lace made for Marie Antoinette by the republic of Venice. Mrs. August Belmont has a great deal of handsome lace, several pieces of rose point, and an old chalice yeil of raised Venetian point that is about 300 years old. Light, flimsy laces are so much worn now that many ladies have old lace we never hear of. I went to a wealthy lady’s house not long ago to see about some work. It was about six o'clock, and she was in dinner dress, She wore a velvet brocade—the costume must have cost several hundred dollars—and in the neck and sleeves of the dress was lace that never cost over sixty centsa yard. Her appearance wasn't fine in a lace worker's eyes. But some of the modern lace is as fine and handsome as the antique, and better adapted to full ruffles. We do not regret the taste for the light, fluffy laces. They wear out quickly, and people spend more in the end thanif they bought the strong-fibr old laces. But the taste for fine laee work is not increasing. Half the ladies who spend large sums of money in dress only care for something light and white around the neck and wrists, and if their maids put in something clean they give it no further notice. “Now and then you hear of a fashionable woman who has fine taste about lace, inde- pendent of fashion. I remember an old’ custo- mer of eurs had. a beautiful first ball dress nade for her daughter which Was her own idea, and much admired. It was a plain white cash- mere, trimmed with broad Valenciennes of an odd snowdrop pattern. There was no other trimming, except some long white ostrich piumes in the loopings. It was after Valen- ciennes was beginning to go out of fashion; but that lady knew all about laces, and knew how few of them a young girl ought to wear.” “Is Valenciennes used now?” “Not much, except for layettes. Nothing seems to take the place of narrow Valenciennes for trimming babies’ clothes. It is the most suitable lace for breakfast caps and morning dresses, and many ladies use it for those pur- poses. It is completely out of fashion for evening wear. There has been a quantity of poor imitation in the market, and people have grown tired ofit. Clothing manufacturers used it for all sorts of things. Some of the Sixth avenue stores had shilling calicoes made up and trimmea with two-inch imitation Valen- ciennes.” “Is the genuine Valenciennes common ?” “Tt is comparatvely 80. Ladies who haven't any other nice lace own a few yards of that. Large patterns of it were used un single dresses. Mrs. Wm. Astor has 150 yards of one kind of Valenciennes.” “What is the most fashionable black lace?” “Spanish, Chantilly and Guipure. Black thread lace is always worn by those who have it, but very little is bought now.” * “Do you know of any ladies who own historic leces of lace?” “A Newport lady has a veil and court train that belonged to the trousseau of the Princess Elizabeth, daughter of George III. A Boston lady who has a large variety of rare lace owns a duplicate copy of the cover that was a of the layette of Louis XIV. Nothing very ous in lace has.come to New York recently since the shawl and overskirt made for the Em- press Eugenie was sold here. The lace was very unique, and was covered with flowers, filled in with natural-colored silks. The Empress or- dered it before Sedan, but by the time it was finished she had no need of fine laces. It was sold by the manufacturer. It is said that quantities of old Russian lace are coming in! the European market. It will be bought asa curiosity by lace collectors, but it is too heavy to meet the present fashion, and has little repu- tation as fine lace work. Lace making has been introduced Into Japan.
