Picture and Frame.

AS an instance of the value which ar
lists attach TO their frames, Ii may not be
out of place 10 cite an incident in the
writer's recollection. A certain we'll
known English landscape painter had
such an inordinate fancy for viewing his
picture In gilt frame that he invariably
framed his work after the first coloring
and general effect had been rubbed in,'
and in this condition contriyed to finish
his painting. My friend had reputation
for rapid, though by no means slovenly
work; and so facile was he with the brush
that il Is reported that in less than week
a large and important work had been con-
ceived. completed, and, what is better,
disposed of. This expeditions painter
was usually represented in most of TIE
leading exhibitions throughout the United
Kingdom, but on one occasion the day
for "sendng i'm contributions had Alto
gether escaped his memory. Some friends
who entered the studio on the appointed
day i'm question reminded him of his omis-
sion.
"Bless my soal.' exclaimed our friend;

hours does it want before tine doors are
closed?"
"About twelve" replied one Of his Wis
itors: adding. "but II you have any work
in hand, must remind you that you have
only six hours of daylight for finishing
it in"
"Then be good enough to reach me that
fame"
The frame was produced and placed up
on the easel. The artist then looked
about for clean canvas to fit into it, but in
vain; no canvas of the required size vas

but not before the great man had dashed
on full brush the outline of his work.
At six, to a minute. his guests returned,
not to discover the artist immersed in his
labors, but to find him quietly seated in
his armchair, smoking a favorite pipe,
caressing "a fit bulldog, and contempla-
ting his wet but perfectly finished master

Artincia,ly-bred MaggOts.

A correspondent of the Turf. Field
and Farm. writes to that journal, advoca-
ting the breeding of maggots in order 10
procure cheap food for poultry, and gives
the following description of how IL is
done:
Dig nine pits four by eight feet wide and
three feet deep, smaller il desired, line
bottom and sides with brick, so the mag
gots cannot crawl out or the pit cave in.
For nine successive days fill one of these
pits in the following manner: First,
cover the bottom three inches thick with
cut straw. Second, one course of horse,
pigeon or chicken manure two inches
thick. Third, one inch of mash (Which
you can make yourself from yeast, pota-
toes and Indian meal.) Fourth and last,
one course of loose, damp soil one or one
and half inch thick; cover the whole
with light roof to keep the sun and rain
of, but open enough TO admit the COM
mon muck fly, of which one Is capable of
producing according to natural history,
live hundred million OF eggs In one SUM
mer. The fly will deposit its eggs in the
pit, and after the expiration of nine days.
! the pit will be fill, q with maggots. The
contents of one pit will suffice to keep
three thousand chickens for one day by
giving three meals per day. In case you
want to keep your chickens in Winter on
the same food, make more pits, let the
maggots transform into larvse and fill the
same into barrels. This mode of raising
and feeding chickens and pheasants has
been in operation upon the Ducal Turns
Taxishen Estates in Bohemia with great
success for several seasons, and at the
Gotha In Germany the pheasant preserve
Is maintained entirely on these artificially-
bred maggots.

Poetry and advertising seem TO have
become blended, las IL were" Ordinary
prose has ceased TO have the power 10 in-
vest with proper attractiveness the an

the necessities of the advertiser have
evolved the poet. This, for example. of a
tailor, who, spurnlng prose, "drops into
poetry" like Wegg:
Obi come into the garden, Maud,
And sit beneath the rose,
Ana see me prance around the beds,

lowing, where the minglng OF mackerel

A Terrible System.

We read an interesting account Of the
'ssilent system" which is in operation at
the Holloway Model Prison In London:
1t is an offense for aprisoner to speak one
word, and he is never addressed except in
whispers, so that he may be In prison two
years without hearing the natural sound
Of the human voice The effect of this is
SO terrible on the mind that prisoners will
speak out In desperation, at the risk of
any punishment, ratLer than endure that
horrible silence. They never see one
another, but remain in perpetual solitude.
There Is a fine hole I'm each cell. and as
the wardens wear lndia-rubbcr soles they
can never be sure OF being unmatched.
Every day the prisoners are taken to
chapel SO arranged that they can see no
one save the chaplain, and him only
through an iron grating. And thus Is the
order OF devotion observed. Wardens
are constantly on the watch, lest for a
single instant they, through the whole

Caught in their own Trap.

A couple of California convicts recent
ly quite outwitted themselves in planning
an ingenious escape from Jail. They
managed to store themselves in large
box in the wheelwright shop where they
worked, and had the box nailed and
so arranged that when they arrived i'm
San Francisco, and landed on the wharf,
they could open one end. Unfortunately
for them, when the box came on the
boat one of rhe deck hands turned 1t up
on end instead of leaving IL flat. This
was more than the convicts could stand.
One of them stood on his head, and the
rush of blood was more than be had bar
gained for, while the other cried out
''this box don't stand right" The deck
hand was astonished at this exclamation,
and his first icea was that ghosts we're
on board. A council was held, and the
captain decided to break open the box.
To the utter astonisbment 6everybody,
as soon as the sides were broken of, two
live men came creeping out In a state OF
perspiration. They we're at once recog
nizcd as convicts and were sent back 70

An Improved Cooking Utensil.

AN ingenious little culinary implement
was lately shown in Paris at the EXPOSE
ton of Gastronomic Produets-a novel
gridiron and baking oven all in one. Ii
consists of an oblopg puadrangular sheet
iron box, open at the top and at one end,
and standing on four feet. The top has
a netting Of iron wire stretched over ii,
and on this glowing charcoal Is placed.
A gridiron slides in at the open end under
the fire. The juices and melted fats of
the meat, poultry, fish. ETC., drop into
pan beneath the gridiron, and thus no
disagreeable od,,rs of burning grease are
given out. No ashes sift through the wire
network on the meat below, unless the
IRE Is stirred. When it BECOMES neces-
sary to NEEDLE with the fire, the gridiron
is TO be removed for moment and then
replaced. The heat of tie fire may at the
same time be employed for the purpose
of boiling water in pot or kettle, set
upon some sort of stand over the hire.

RAILROAD MONOPOLISTs AT WAR IN Viz.
GlNIAs

RICHMOND, March IL, 1873.
In the House of Representatives q substitute has
been offered for the Free Railroad bill introduced
by Major w. 7. Suthcrlin. OF which Tom Scott Is
said to be the patron. The substitute does not
dilYer materially from the original bill, ex-
cept that 1t authorizes the Judges OF Cir
cult Courts to grant . charter to build
railroads wherever applied for under certain
limited conditions. This, on account OF its dis
criminating provisions, may probably gain few
more votes for Scott's scheme; but 1t will not
alter the sentiment OF the House, which is almost
unanimously against the passage Of any law look
ing to the furtherance Of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road interests in this state. The opposition OF
General Machahon, President Of the Atlantic,
Mississippi and Ohio Railroad, and OF John NJ.
Robinson, President OF the Ricninond, Freacricks-
burg and Potomac Railroad, both or them mon0po-
lists, will defeat all Scotts schemes to obtain
connecting link with his Southern systems OF rail-
roads through this state during the present ses-
sion.
Major Sutherlin, who introduced the Free Rail-
road law, spoke Tor two hours and q hall In favor
of the substitute, without making any decided i'm

robbing us of our ancient rights

Catholics. The English tories have every
thing to lose The Irish Catholics have every
thing to gain. Mr.. Gladstone's bill has failed

Guilty of the situation, and, it is said, is most
unwilling to saddle himself with the RESPONSE
bilities of Office. The rank and file of the
conservatives are naturally anxious for place
and power, and are not unwilling TO make an
appeal to the people. On the other hand the
liberals are anxious to test the sentiment of
the House by asking o vote of confidence. It
is feared, however, that Mr.. Gladstone has
made up his mind, and that he will abide by
his determination. The presumption is that
the difficulty will in some way be bridged
over until Easter, and that then an appeal
will be made to the country. Mr.. Gladstone
has fought nobly in good cause. he ought
not rashly to abandon the fight The en-
ightened sentiment of the age is with him,
and it is duty which he owes to the world as
well as to himself to abide at his post and to
test his strength to the last.
