The story of a Popular Song.

A correspondent of the Stdtioner gives the fol-
lowing account of the singing of g Father, come
home" in one of the music halls in London:
Having reached the hall, we paid an admission
fee of sixpence. There was very neat stage,
with gaudy drop scene and side wings, and toll
cradle good orchestra. In the stalls sat the
chairman, to keep order over as motley an audi
ence as ever was seen out of the gallery of the
Victoria Theater. Coasters seemed to FREEDOM
mate. All appeared plentifully supplied with
porter, and all were enjoying their pipes to such
extent as to make the place almost suffoca-
ting. for there must have been audience of
nearly FIVE hundred. A niger - walk-around -
was just being finished and the shouts of g en-
core y whsting and stamping of feet made the
hall perfectly bewilderng. "A name was an
nounced by the chairman which we could not
catch, and amidst clapping of hands and stamp
ing of feet, there was buzz of This is the
song - The waiter called loudly, "Any more
orders?' and these being taken and duly exc
cuted, all seemed to settle down quietly to listen
to the song. There was the symphony, and
another buzz of This is it p and we began to
feel anxious. Presently female came in front
of the curtain, amidst great applause, and COM
menced, "Father, dear father" etc. Every
word was distinct, and she sang the ballad with
great feeling. In order, however, to fully de-
scribe the scene which followed each verse. it is
necessary to give - little Mary's" song:

You said you coming right home from the shop,
As your days work done.
The fire has gone out-our house is all dark,
And mothers been watching since tea,
With poor little Benny sick in her arms.

Look To Your FURs. -Furs will soon
be laid aside for some eight months,
and 1t Is all important that until that
time they should be secured against
moths, their mortal enemy. Furs are
costly, and beautiful as well as usful,
but nothing looks worse then shabby
furs, made so the from the destructive
inroads Of the moth. The worst
thing to be done with furs is to shut
them out of sight from the DIR and
forget them. The next worse thing
is to put them away damp. Should
they become damp by exposure to
the rain they should be placed no
nearer to the fire than where they
will dry slowly. When the season
for their use is over they should not
be shut up in tight chest, box or
drawer, for more then few days or
a week without being taken out and
well shaken. Putting them in q
drawer that is frequently opened is
recommended, In order that they
may be frequently seen, and thus be
reminded of the necessity of attend
ing to them. To preserve furs per-
fectly, and without the least fear of
moths, frequent airing, shaking, and
general cleanliness. together with q
good supply of camphor, is the grand
specific.

The weather Is very wet to-day

thoir eyes in mud. Neither plan
looks very satisfactory, and where Is
the proper remedy? Perhaps many
will say hog-tamers; yet mine have
been operated on, and I think that
many farmers will coincide In my
opinion that nothing will stop them
In wet weather, and that won
derful under jaw of the hogs plays
a part, when something is found too
hard for the snout. The hog tanners
are very good for dry weather, but it
is my opinion the best plan would be
to have small lot, enclosed with a
good board fence, and connect with
a sty, rooted, and sided up with
boards, straw or corn-stalks; boards
would perhaps be the best of any
thing, but not always handy. If
stalks or straw were used, 1t would
require a fence aside, of course.
Have water handy-here well and
troughs would be best-then keep
them there, and feed, water and
clean their sly ut she proper intervals,
and net let them loose from their
confinement. unless in dry weather |;
and am inclined to think they for
felt every right to free,..am. as, when
not digging they often employ their
leisure time In closing on q newly
dropped calf, foal or lamb, IL handy.
No doubt there Is great difference
In the breed Of pigs, but never saw
any whose character was much to
be depended on. My hogs are cross
of Chester White and Berkshire
This is my plan; If any OF our farm
era has better one, please give it,

From the Western Raral.

From the Western Rural
am pleased to see so much inter-
est awakened on the subject of farm
horses, as shown by its discussion In
the Agricultural press of the country.
The money value Of horses for general
farm work is greater than that of all
other classes OF horses combined.
We must Rave the farm horses, and
we can aud the trotter and thorough
bred If We ean afford them.
Our farm horses are a nondescript
race, ftsTly fifty per cent. of them be-
ing unfit fer general farm purposes,
or for any other purpose. They have
not the style, action, or endurance,
to fit them for the carriage or saddle,
and they lack the weight and devel-
opment of muscle that would render
them valuable before the pillow or
farm wagon. We have thousands of
horses which occupy the position,
next to parasites OF the farms OF
e. their owners. They are unfit to ride
or drive, and It requires three or
more of them to draw a weight that
should take but one or two fitted for
the purpose.
This state of affairs arises from
cnrelessness, or O. mistaken idea of
economy in breeding. Standing in
the light Of scores of Agricultural
newspapers devoted more or less to
the science of breeding domestic ami
mails, It Is an insult to farmers I'M
derstanding to say these worthless
horses arc bred through ignorance.
Many farmers will not pay ten to
thirty dollars for the services of
first class stallion, while neighbor
Smith charges but four dollars for the
use of his slab-sided, post legged,
mongrel sorrel, or dun. Hundreds
of farmers breed their mares SEEM
ingly with the idea that flow of
milk Is the principal object sought.
Farmers cannot he ignorant of the
principles that only full blood, or
thoroughbred sire is able to trans
init his superior qualities to his off:
spring with any degree of certainty.
For ordinary farm work, we want
race of horses that is strong of
limb, sound, muscular, kind, able to
do the most work and keep in best
condition on the least feed, and the
sires able to transmit to their proge-
ny. unimpared, these essential quail
ties.
The Percheron norman is the bet
ter name) horse comes nearer, in my
Judgment, to filling the farmers re-
quirements, I'm the way of useful
farm animal. than any race of horses
Of which I have any knowledge.
The Norman sire transmits to his
offspring, with the fidelity of the
thoroughbred, his muscular form,
clean, strong limbs, immense
strength, courage, docility, and easy
kept.
This horse question Is of great inn
portance to farmers. A. A. 8.

Diseases Cured by Diet.

Chronic diseases In many cases can
be cured by diet. DIR. Bellows gives
Instances which are of exceeding in
terest. A gentleman of sixty -four
who wore truss twenty-five years
for inguinal hernia, was advised to
discontinue extra carbonaceous food
and has recovered In two years time
so as to dispense with the use of the
truss. BY taking less carbonaceous
or heating and relaxing food, and
eating more heterogeneous or muscle
and strength giving food, tone was
restored, the tendons were drawn
taut, and the bowels retained. A
Boston physician, whose father and
brother died of heart disease a few
years since, became 80 affected also
that he was Enabled to attend to his
practice and went from city to city
consulting physicians, but found no
relief DIR. Bellows aseertained that
he was an excessive cheese eater, as
were his father and brothers. On
reducing the daily quantity of cheese
about one-half. he began to recover
and is now we'll. This was, of course,
not case of organic disease. DIR.
Bellows diagnosis was this: Cheese
being heterogeneous, the excessive
quantity eaten daily produced Excess
sive tone and tension of the muscular
system, and the heart being q mus
eular organ, the excess of tone and
tension was most clearly manifested
upon it. A gentleman of scrofulous
tendency, who had an open abscess
for eight or ten years, abstained from
extra carbon and partook of food rich
In nitrogen and phosphorus, and the
abscess began to heal immediately,
and in a few weeks ceased to dis
charge. A gentleman of equity en-
largment of the great toe joints which
required boots of extra width to en-
able him to walk, adopted natural
food exclusively, and in few months
could wear boots Of natural size.
