4 Fanny Incidental singular incident
occurred in the Cork theatre during the per-
Torrance Of " Norma" Cruyelli was the
prima donna 1t was a matter of difficulty to
find two children to represent Norma's off
spring. At length the carpenter of the
theatre volunteered his two little daughters
to perform the important parts. The mother
accordingly brought them to the theatre.
They were dressed and instructed how to
conduct themselves upon the stage. Before
the commencement Of the second act, they
were placed upon the couch IN Eorma's
.dwelling-a railway rug, / remember doing
service Tor the skins of wild animals, on
which Norma is supposed to recline. Their
parents talked to them long seriously, petted
and threatened them, to insure their proper
behavior. There they lay in fear and trem-
bling as the curtain drew up. The number
of people In the house, the glare Of the
lamps, the applause and shouting Of the
audience alarmed them. The mother and
father st the side scenes enforced obedience
to the command already given by the most
expressive gestures The band played
loudly, and Norma advanced to the footIights,
giving vent to. her feelings in a violent recita-
tive Dagger in hand, she rushed up to the
couch This proved too much for the chill
dren, already nearly frightened to death,
They gave q shrek, tumbled off the couch,
and toddled as fast astheir little legs could
carry them of the stage into their arms.
Cruvelh sat down for few minutes on the
railway rug to recover herself from the con-
vulsinns of laughter which the crisis had
caused her and the audience.

Answers to Correspondents.
GROWING POTATOES.

Eds RCRAL WoRLD: Can you inform me
as to the best plan for raising Irish potatoes 2
/ wish to raise a large crop of potatoes, and
being inexperienced, / thought l would APP
ply to YOU for information. Please reply,
stating the kind of ground best adapted
to Irish potatoes. j. b.
Reynoldsburg, Ill.
REPLY.-There has been considerable
trouble for the last season or two on account
of the potatoe bugs, and ground which has
been occupied by potatoes, or near which
potatoes have been grown last year, would
be hazardous. NewgrOund, rnewlY broken
timothy and clover sod, if in good tiltb,
would be preferable; or any good, rich land,
rich enough to produce GOOD corn We do
not advise the application of manure imme
diateIy to the crop unless it has been we'll
composted. In that case NE should apply it
By way of top dressing, prior to the last
blowing.
In Central Illinois it IS not uncommon to
raise potatoes under straw, with very good
results that Is, the ground Is thoroughly
plowed and narrowed marked off at the de-
sired distance fl. in. each way the seed
dropped, and covered with a deep mulch Of
rotten straw, say six to eight inches deep.
Nothing more done until the crop IS ready
for the harvest If the spring is moderately
moist-this is good way. It has been as
serted also that the potatoe bug can not
work on such a crop on account Of the straw.
OF the Peach Blow and Goodrich Early,
1.-TWO of the best varieties about three eyes
to the hill, cut from medium to large pota
toes, is seed sufficient.
In case old ground is planted, the best
time is from the Goth Of April to May Ise
Harrow thoroughly after planting, and, as
soon as well up, keep the cultiyator going
each way at least once week, until in bloom.
when cultivation should cease and the field
should be free from weeds. If hand hoeing
is necessary, never count the time so en-
ployed otherwise than we'll laid out.
