AS will be seen by the advertisement on the
9Th page the Caroline Richings- Bernard Troupe
better known as "Ye Oldde FOlkes," will give the
citizens of Ottawa grand Costume Concert on
Thursday evening, Feb, 25, at the First Consrc-

From the really great reputation enjoyed by
this company, and the praise given them by the
press of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and
other places where they have appeared, we have
no doubt but that our lovers of music will be
favored with the richest treat of the season.
The fine organ in the church will afford Mr.
Tomlins, their skllful organist, an opportunity
to give the audience some rare and choice mu-
sic We take from the Chicago Times the fol-
lowing:
The numbers of people who listened wlh de-
light to the sweet singing of this zinc organiza-
tlon will he highly gratiied to learn of its return
for a brief season Mrs. Richings Bernard has
ever been a great favoritc with the musical folks
of our city, and, aside from her own high merits
as a cantalr;ce, the company includes some re.
markably attractive vocal material, selected
with her uniform TASTE and discrimination in all
matters of musical art. Not the least delightful
feature of the concerts is the finely shaded sing
ing of the Quaker city quartet, which it Will be
remembered afforded such unequaled satisfaction

Useful Hints.

A very pretty use for odd pictures and
nr;nts of all sizes and descriptions. is to
maize them into Christmas books for
children. 1t is pretty work for your
own children to do, ana they make taste
full and valuable presents for the chill
dren of friends. The following dlrec-
tions may perhaps assist the young peo-
pie in preparing pleasant surprise ior
some one whom they love.
Take one yard of blue glazed muslin,
of a pretty shade, one of pink and one OF
white; fold into six squares, unless your
pictures are very large, when four
squares will probably answer. Lay them
one upon the other and stitch one SIDE
firmly together; then taking a. sharp
pair of scissors cut the three remaining
margins in even and regular points.
Now trim your pictures neatly and
arrange the third page, leaving.the out
side page for a cover. The pictures
should be put on with starch, laying
them face down upon the table and
brushing the back evenly and quickly
with starch, then lifting and placing
where you wish to have them, leaving
margin oe about an inch of the colored
cambria around the edge of the pictures
When the page is, arranged and partly
dry it should be pressed with warm iron.
If the pictures are small several can DO
nicely upon the same page. The cover
can be decorated in rather different fash
ion, by having the edge plain and loop
stitching border in colored worsted, and
FASTING a name and inscription in letters
also cut from headings of papers.
With little exercise of ingenuity a
very pretty thing can be made of waste
pictures, which are really too good to
throw away.

A Vicious Horse Cared by Kindness

At meeting of the American Insti-
tute Farmers Club, a letter from Presi-
dent Ely was read, as follows:
l had received a communication con-
tainining story about horse, which l
think ought to be read and published in
the report OF the club meetings. A horse
in Pennington, formerly driven in a
meat cart, was bought by its present
owner at very low price because reput-
ed vicious. He would bite, kick and
run away, and was entirely uncontrolla-
BILE. Soon after changing masters, the
people who called the purchase foolish
one, were surprised at the difference in
the horses conduct. He would go slow
when desired, stop instantly at whoa,
follow his master, come at his call and
rub his head on his shoulder. What
had made the change? Not force; the
poor horse had been beaten, kicked and
starved before, and grown more and more
stubborn. No; he was well fed, well
bedded, we'll watered; not over-driven
or overloaded; never whipped, kicked
or scolded. Kind words were given aim.
No gentler, safer, more faithful horse
went on the road. But, Indian fashion,
he forgot neither benefit or injury. Oc-
casionally, when in harness he saw his
former master. Then, invariably, his
anger was aroused. His eye rolled, he
champed his bit and showed desire to
get hold of his enemy. Only the voice
and caressing hand of his kind new own
er could quiet him. What power is
kindness-the power that even the Al
mighty loves best to use.

Digging and Keeping # Sweet Potatoes.

We know of no plan better than that
pursued by E. A. Riehl, Alton, Ill. In
digging, he says: l take large two or
three. horse pillow; set it as much to land
as is possible; attach rolling coulter,
setting to land about two inches
straddle ridge with your team and
turn it over with the pillow. The coulter
will cut the vines completely if kept
sharp, and the pillow inverrs the whole
ridge. The potatoes remain hanging
together on the vine, the points sticking
up, and by taking hold of one the whole
hill can be pulled up. They should be
broken of from the vines, sorted and
laid in baskets or piles. The greatest
care must be observed not to bruise the
potatoes, as the bruises causes rotting
soon after.
He further says that the keeping of
the sweet potato is a much more simple
thing than many imagine. They must
be stored where the temperature is uni
form, not less than forty-fve nor more
than seventy degrees Fahrenheit; care
should also be had not to store in too
great bulk as that will cause heating,
which will destroy the whole in a short
time. This is the key to the whole sub
ject, and any method of procedure that
will fulfil the above conditions will
prove successful. l cannot 60 into de-
tails for all are not situated alike, and
what would be proper and convenient
for one to do would not be so with an
other differently situated. Persons wish
ing to prolong the season of sweet potato
eating as long as possible, will find the
following good plan: Take sound
potatoes and pack in boxes or barrels,
packing with some material that will
readily fill the interstices, as sawdust,
dry sand, road dust, bran or chat, and
set in a warm place where there is fire,
as the living room or kitchen. Sweet
potatoes can be thus kept readily past
the holidays, and sometimes even until
spring.
