Farmers Institutes,

Board of Agriculture, last June,
it was determined to hold II series
of Farmers Institutes during the
month of January, 1876. The
desire is to hold these Institutes in
different portions of the State, and
the length of time for each being
two evenings and one day; to avoid
tediousncss.
The Institutes will not be held
until after the Fall and early Winter
work has been performed, and the
holidays past. The locations will
be left for the farmers themselves
to determine. The Armada Far
mers' Club have made application
for one Institute, and the Detroit
and Bay City District Council of
Patrons of Husbandry, for another.
Both have been accepted, and the
first Institute will be held at Ar
mazda: the next at Rochester. Four
more Institutes arc yet to be locat-
ed; and application may be made
to any Of the following members of
the committee having the matter in
charge: Hon. j. Webster Childs,
Ypsilanti, chairman; Hon. Milton J.
Gard, Cassopolis.
The community where the III
stitutc is held will be expected to
furnish the hall, and po,idc for
warming and lighting the same.
All other expenses will be borne by
the Board of Agriculture. a local
committee should be appointc Il at
each place where tho In titutc is to
be held, to assist tn, com Mite, Of
the Board in pcrfccting details OF
the meeting.
Every oao WI, tills tn, soil Or
is interested in agriculture, is i'll
vitcd--espccially farmers, their
wives and families. The order OF
business will be determined by each
Institute for itself. 1t is expected
and desired that leading farmers
in the vicinity of t he Institute will
give lectures, rctl essays an | take
part in the discussi ons OH topics to
be selected by the local committees
The members of the State Board
will take part in the proceedings,
and also, members of the College
Faculty, if so desired.
The object of these Institutes
will be to secure meetings Of the
farmers for the purpose of talking
over in common sense way,
matters of vital interest to them
selves; to bring the farmers, tho
Board. and the Faculty of the Ag-
ricultural College in closer relations
each other, in hope Of mutual
benefit; to gather up and preserve
the result of agricultural experience
and views of leading farmers il
different parts of the State. II,

Housekeeping vs.. Boarding.

Is it better to keep house or board:
is question which is raised every day
in society. Let anyone consider the
facts, and judge accordingly. In keep
ing house ones actual expenses are pos
sibly fourth greater than when board.
ing. This difference in expenditure,
however, is balanced by the pleasure
and incalculable benefits connected with
housekeeping. There is, in the first
place, privacy and quiet. One avoids
the scrutiny of scandal mongeis and the
gaze of gossips. The wife escapes the
communicating influences of boarding
house surroundings, and finds pleasant
occupation in daily house superintend.
ence. This is a source both of physical
and moral health. The result is energy
rather than eanui, and lively interest
in other things than the petty tritles
which would otherwise absorb the at.
tention. The home is permanent, and
hence becomes basis for accommodating
for the future. The boarding house is a
wayside stopping place, and leads to I'M
rest and waste of energy. The very
aspect of the two places shows their
vital difference, and is in favor OF the
home. In conclusion, housekeeping with
all its trials and oiscomforts, is infinitely
superior to boarding. and the difference
in the cost>is not to be considered in
comparison with the difference in bene-
fits.-7he Housekeeper.

For Love OF an Empress.

Lucy II. Hooper writes to the | hlla-
delphia Press from Paris:
| have heard lately the following mel
ancholy and romantic little story relative
to a royal lady whose personal charms
and sweet and graceful manners have
rendered her as unconscious'y dangerous
to her masculine adherents as ever Mary
Stuart was of yore. 1t appears that
during the latter years of the Empire the
attention of the Empress, who ever has
been distinguished as an intelligent and
munificent patroness of art, was called
to the works of a rising young painter
Spaniard or an Italian by birth-who
had just completed his studies and had
achieved admission to the salon. She
was pleased with his pictures, purchased
several of them, and gave a commission
for two or three others. Finally, at his
earnest solicitation, she consented TO sit
to him for her portrait, which proved to
be a striking likeness and most add
mirable work of art. From that time
forward the young painter haunted assid-
uously every public place where he could
obtain a glimpse of his fair and royal
patroness. When she went to the thea
ter or the opera he invariably occupied
III OICHcstTu Stdll III iIcut VI tHc ILL
perial box, and when she drove out he
sought to cross her path in order to OBJ
tain from her one OF those graceful bows
and one of those sweet, melancholy
smiles which she always bestowed with
such courtesy upon those who saluted
her. AT last came the war and Sedan
and the Republic. and park and theater
and opera-box knew the fair face no
more. Deprived of even those passing
glimpses of the imperial lady, the young
artist became morose, gloomy and mis-
anthropical; he shut himself up in the sol
itude of his studio and employed himself
chiefly in reproducing his portrait OF the
Empress work which met with ready
sale among the friends of Imperialism in
Paris from its intrinsic merit no less than
the fidelity of its likeness. The other
day he was found lying dead in his
studio, with a pistol shot through the
head, and with the discharged pistol
still clutcbed in his lifeless hand
