Mrs. Maria GLENN,

Among the deaths published IN the
Baltimore Sun of the 18th ult., was
that of FAlrs. Maria GLENN, the aunt,
mother-in law, and never failing friend
of Edgar A. Poe. Mrs. GLENN was
born in Baltimore on the 18th of March,
1890. Her family was one of the old
est and most distinguished in Mary
land. Her father, David Poe, was
QuartermasterG General Of the old Mary
land line during the revolution, and
the intimate friend of Washington, La
fayette, and the leading men Of the
time. In 1886, while editing the
Southern Literary Messenger, Edgar
A. Poe married bis cousin, Virginia
GLENN, a lovely and beautiful girl,
whose memory he cmbalmed in 1.-The
Raven She WIS the "Lost Lenore y
of that extraordinary poem. From the
time of Poe's marriage with her daugh-
ter, Mrs. GLENN adopted him as her
son, and never had a son Q more deyot
ed mother. To have won and kept the
love of such woman through all the
vicissitudes OF such q career as Edgar
Poe's shows more forcibly than words
can tell that the innate goOdnesa of the
poet was not lost even in the midst of
wasted genius, unparalleled misfor-
tunes, and utter misery. When he was
i'll. and his wife dying, 1T was a touch
ing sight to see this "tireless minister
to genius" poorly clad, going from
office to office in New York with a
poem, a story, or critioue of Poe's to
sell. To her Foe wrote the sonnet,
ITO My Mother, in which he testifies
to her care and devotion by saying
that she had been "more than u moth
Ell to him. After the poets death on
the 18th of October, 1919. Mrs. GLENN
resided with different friends in New
York and Virginia, until five or six
years since, and she was received into
the Church Home in Baltim sre, char
liable institution, under the manage
ment of the Episcopal Church. and
there she died on the 10th inst, III the
eighty first year of her age. Poe died
in the same building which was then
the Maryland Hospital. At her own
request she was buried by the side of
her "darling Eddie, in Westminster
Churchyard, corner of Fayette and
Green streets. Baltimore. Besides the
four pail bearers, there were about q
dozen ladies and two gentlemen pre-
sent. admirers of Poe and friends Of
Mrs. GLENN. Among the ladies was

FARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD.
Practical Suggestions.

From he New England Farmer.
Ir Is poor economy to reset thin
wheel tires.
EVERY farmer should have brand
to mark his cattle and tools. II will
save It's cost, often.
A WAGON sHEs, centrally located and
easy of access, is great convenience.
II Is an investment that will pay.
A sABy. located square mp to the
highway. like a city block. Is worth
halt price. No lend Is too valuable for
buildings.
Every prudent farmer will avail him
self of the comparative leisure OF win
ter, TO put every vehicle and implement
in complete repair.
DoN'T live another year without a
toolroom. 1t viii save hours of vexa
tious search for forks and shovels that
should be ready without moments
delay
IL new tools aud implanted are soaked
with raw linseed OIL, they viii work
easier and last longer. Why don't
manufacturers do IT by the wholesalel
IT seems reasonable that laborng
horse should have room to lie IN at
night, where he can turn over and shift
about.
If your colts are hard to GET into the
barn, after their daily exercise, let them
find few oats in their manger after
coming In, and that trouble is over.
BETTER pay carpenter for making
flights Of stairs IN the barn, where
needed. than a doctor for mending
bones broken by using ladders. Rule !:
Things in daily use should ne exactly
adapted to the need.
Two dollars day for farm hand
makes 1t important that he should have
good tools to work with. They cost
considerable. Insist that he use them
for the purpose for which they ere
made.

CARROTS are recommended as feed

High Earmtngtr England.

A valued correspondent (says the y.
Y. POST sends us the following extract
from letter from young gentleman
Of this State, now travelling IN England
to familiarRe himself with English
methods of farming:
Mr.. p. ownes 1000 acres, of which
he farms 350-the rest being rented.
He has not always made his farm paw
well. but by his own high farming he
has improved the system In the neigh
borhood, and thereby very much in
creased the value of land and his own
rents.
He keeps on his home farm OF $50
acres from 90 to 100 mich cows, be
sides flock of sheep. He never pur-
chases more than one-sixth of the food
for his cattle, and that sixth is nearly
all artificial.
His farm buildings are of brick, and
perfectly drained and ventilated. The
hay ana straw are stacked and thatch-
ed, by the way, neither is ever slowed
away In barns, even in this land of
system being exclusively
ours.
Even the roots and potatoes are left
out of doors in pits, and the barns are
used for nothing but cattle and thresh-
ing grain.
Mr. p. yield of wheat this year was
% bushels to the acre, and of hay q
tons and such hay, In some of the
clover cut last june there still remains
the smell of the clover blossoms, and it
is worth 81 los. per ton.
IIr. +. has gone extensively into irri-
cation. Some parts of his property lie
at the foot of low range of hills,
through which r,'n streams, in which
he has arranged foed-gates, SO that
after a heavy rain he can cover with
water at one time fifty or sixty acres
the water taking the place of manure on
the Nile principle.
His draining has been on the same
scale. In one fifty-acre field he has put
down twenty-five miles of tile pipes
This is high farming, you viii say, with
vengeance. Yet it all pays, and l
know not why it should not pay equally
well with us. At all events let us try.

HE following estimate of woman's
love appears in an English contempt
rarv: "A French woman will love her
husband if he is either witty or chival-
rous German woman if he is con-
slant and faithful; Dutch woman if
he does not disturb her ease and COM
fort too much; Spanish woman if he
wreaks vengeance on those who incur
his displeasure; an italian woman if he
is dreamy and poetical Danish wo-
man if he thinks that her native coun-
try is the brightest and happiest on
earth; Russian woman if he despises
all westerners as miserable barbarians
an English woman if he succeeds in
ingratiating himself with the court and
aristocracy; an American woman if he
has plenty Of money"

4 New lnycntion

A new fire escape was tested on Sat
urday, at the Continental Hotel, Phila-
delphia, when man lowered himself
from the sixth story window on the
Ninth street front TO the pavement,
regulating the speed OF his own de
scent, and stopping two or three times
in front of windows ON the different
stories The apparatus used is known
as the Kenyon Fire Escape, and con
sists of small, closely twisted rope of
fine Italian hemp, which passes through
the spiral grooves in cylindrical metal
machine about ten inches long, aud an
inch and half cr two inches I'M diane
ter. The grooves m the machine cause
the rope to pass around the cylinder
two OF three time, thus causing friction
sufficient to enable the person descend
ing TO regulate the speed of his down
ward passage, or TO come to dead
stop whenever desired. Attached TO
the metal cylinder are two leather belts
one of which is to be buckled around
the waist, and the other around the
thighs, SO as to hold the person IN o
sitting position, and leaving the arms
entirely free. After one person has de-
scended the rope may be drawn mp, the
ends reversed, and another person may
come down, and 50 on as long rs prac
