A Strange Story of a Gypsy King.

AT the beginning of the present century
there lived in DevOnshire, England,
noble family of ancient lineage named
Carew. Sir Bamfield Carew, the then
head of the house, had an only son, the
heir to his large estates. This son was
carefully nurtured at home and thorough
ly educated in the first schools of the
Kingdom--fitted and fully prepared to oc-
cupy the station fortune had designed for
him. After leaving college he evinced
certain traits of character which caused
his father great anxiety, manitesting such
desire for a vagabond life that measures
were taken to place restraint upon him,
but to no purpose. He would absent
himself for weeks at a time and wander
about the country poorly clad and often
destitute of funds, until finally he fell in
with band of rowing gypsies with whom
he fraterniZed. Among them was young
woman, famed throughout the land for
her beauty, and though, untutored as she
was, the daughter of a wandering vagrant
and outcast from society, he married her
and soon became popular with his new
associates, they making him King; and
for many years he reigned over all the
tribes of England, under the title of Bem-
field Moor Carew, King of the Gypsies.
Becoming cndeared to them, a decree was
enacted creating him King for life, after
which the Office was to become obsolete
| This man left numerous family, whose
descendants are to be found in every State
of Europe. One of these, a grandson,
emigrated to Australia some ten years
ago, but becoming dissatisfied with that
country went to Oregon, and finally about
two years ago came 70 California, and now
resides in Oakland. At the corner Of
Railroad avenue and Milton street may be
seen a band of individuals, numbering
perhaps twenty, and living in tents, in the
veins of whose body flows not only the
blue blood of one of England's noble
families, but the royal blood of the last
Gypsy King. He may be seen any day on
our streets drawing peculiarly fashioned
machine, stopping occasionally at the gates
of our citizens In search of knives or
scissors to grind, while on Sundays and
holidays the tents are thronged with the
youth of both sexes eagerly consulting the
dusky sibyls as to their future. The
men of the band employ themselves in
various itinerant trades about town, and
have thus accumulated money enough tC
purchase the lot of land on which they
live, and intend soon to erect building
for their better accommOdatiOn.--OdklanC

N. EvrNGBR tells the Prairie Farmer

tapping It over a little, so that the paper
will not slip down.

destruction of the wood.
To KEEP cabbage through the winter,
pack in saw.dust in the barn and allow

most as nice as when put in Western

IF the wood-pile is not yet at the com
mand of the housewife no time should be
lost in getting it together. Have the wood
all sawed of proper length and split ready
for the stove. If coal is used get in the
supply for the entire winter. A lot of
nice kindling-woOd is one of the best
things with which to furnish the wood
shed. Bank up the house well, thus saw
ing fuel and securing comfort. Keep the
family free from colds and coughs, lung
fevers and sore throats, thus avoiding
doctors and drug.stores, care, suffering

The most convenient way to prevent
loose window -sashes from rattling un-
pleasantly when the wind blows is to
make four one-sided buttons of. wood
and screw them to the beading which is
nailed to the castings of the window,
making each button of proper length to
press the side of the sash outward when
the end of the button is turned down
horizontally The buttons operate like
clam. By having them of the correct
length to crowd the stiles of the sash
outward against the outer stop of the
window-f frame, the sash will not only be
held so firmly that it cannot rattle, but
the crack which admitted dust and a
current of cold air will be closed so
tightly that no window-strip will be re-
quired. The buttons should be placed
about half way between the upper and
lower end of each sash.-C0r. Prairie

Effects of Light.

THAT certain of the vital processes are
aided or checked by the presence or alb
sence of light is fact already demon
strated. 1t has remained, however, for a
recent observer, NJ. Won Platen, to prove
that light, through eXcitation of the retina
alone, causes an active increase in the ex-
change of material in the tissues. The
method by which these facts were OBJ.
tained is as ingenious as the results are
novel and interesting. A certain number
of rabbits were inclosed in a respiration
apparatus or brX, so contrived that both
the oxygen consumed and the carbonic
aciu given off could be accurately meas
ured. Before the eyes of each rabbit
small wooden rings or spectacles were
fastened, the glasses of these being so ad-
usted that all light could be excluded
from the eyes. Having thus arranged
the preliminaries the consumption of OXy-
gen during the time when light was ad-
mitted or excluded from the retina was
carefully noted, it being thus determined
that this consumption in light and in
darkness was in the relation of 116 to 100,
and .he separation of carbonic acid under
the same conditions as ia to 100. This
difference, let it be understood, was the
result not of a varying condition of light
and darkness in the surrounding atmos-
phere, but merely of the lighting up or
darkening of the retina. Should il be
found that the same law pertains to men
as to rabbits, the physiological conditions
of the blind must be of a special and pc.
culiar character. r.-AppletORS' Journal.

The Surprise Party at POtter's.

Some of Mr.. and Mrs. Potter's friends
happened to remember that last Wednes-
day was the tenth anniversary of their
wedding, and they determined to get up a
surprise party and call at Potter's house.
SO everybody purchased little present of
some kind TO take along, and Mrs. Potters
aunt got beautiful illuminated sign in
closed IN walnut frame and bearing the
inscription, Heaven Bless Our Happy
Home" and Mr.. Potter's uncle got an
other one with the legend, "True Love
Never Dies" And when the provisions
were all ready the party started for the
house. They wanted to surprise the
happy couple as much rs possible, so they
concluded not TO ring The door-bell But
Mrs Potter's aunt softly opened the front
door, and assembled the party IN the en-.
try. Then, at a given signal, they opened
the sitting-room door, and burst in with
loud laugh.
The scene that met their eyes was
very interesting one. Mr.. Potter was
lying upon the floor with his nose bleed
ing, and Mrs. Potter was leaning over
him with rolling-pin in her hand, with
which she had evidently been hammer
ing the husband of her bosom. Both of
them looked hot and mad. When the
company came in Mrs. Potter hid the
rolling-pin in the skirts of her dress, and
Potter picked himself up with a sickly at
tempt at n smile lowering about his face.
Good joke, wasn't itP" said Potter,
with that smile growing sicklier every
minute. "We were practicing for tab
leauX."
" No, we weren't, either, " snapped Mrs.
Potter
"Why, my love-" he replied, "we GER
tainly were. You were impersouatng
Pocahontas saving the life of Smith, and
was Smith. You know that we are going

"No, l don't know it, either. We

"Id like to see you"
"You would, hey? You think daresn't

Then Mrs. Potter uplifted her weapon
and made dash at him, whercupon Mr..
Potter walked as rapidly as he could, con-
| sistently with dignity, out through the
door into the yard. Then the company
concluded to adjourn. Mrs. Potter went
into Jones' and stuck Heaven Bless

Mr.. Potter's uncle split up "True Love
Never Dies" with the ak, in disgust
and Mr.. and Mrs. Potter celebrated their

The Sorrows or "MOurning.

To the poor creature, racked in every
nerve with mental anguish, We forbid out

or Of mental amusemepts. By society we

burning tears, we hang thick fold of i'll

be to argue dlsrespect to the beloved dead.

a little every day for a week, to agitate
the salt and help Il 10 dissolve quicker.
Always use more salt than the water
can take up. II will not be wasted, as II
can be used another year. Keep the pork
under brine all the time. The atmosphere
will injure salted pork in a short time. If
little bits of pork no larger than peas are
allowed to float on the brine they will be-
come impure, and will iniure the brine
after time This is especially true If
pork is left untouched for several weeks
in warm weather. Pork keeps heat where
the brine Is stirred often, as this keeps all
the little floating bits saturated with brine.
Salt-dealers recommend to use salt enough
10 coper the brine. There is no need of
this If the brine is agitated every week.
Hams may be kept in brine that is satu
rated with salt, but they soon become so
hard and salt that they are unfit for the
table. They may be kept soft by using
plenty of sugar or moiasses instead Of
salt, and by shaking the pickle two or
three times a week, and by taking them
up and repacking them two or three
times.
In curing hams we aim to use just as
little salt as possible and have them keep.
An old rule that has served us we'll Is to
have salt enough in the pickle TO just float
a potato. The common rules are often
worthless, because they tell how much
salt, sugar, etc, to use for 100 pounds of
meat. There must be brine enough to
cover the meat, and, if the barrel is deep
and the hams pack we'll, less brine will
be needed than If they are spread out in
shallow tub and consequently a smaller
quantity of salt and sugar will be needed,
That housekeeper is most successful in
keeping meat who examines it oitenest.
Before putting the hams into the pickle it
is we'll to rNn knife around the bones in
two or three places, as this will let the
pickle work on the inside where they are
most likely to taint. This precaution is
particularly necessary if the hams are very
large. If the pickle is but just strong
enough to keep the hams, they may re-
main in it all winter, or they may be
taken out and packed away for summer
use. The best wayt to keep hams in warm
weather, that we ever tried, is to cut them
in slices ready for the pan and then pack
in stone jars, pouring hot lard over the
whole after the jar is filled. This keeps
flies away and prevents mold and there is
the advantage of having the meat all
ready for cooking at moments warning,

A SextOn's Mistake.

THE New York Graphic relates the fol-
lowing anecdote of the sexton of Grace
Church, in that city:
Speaking of Brown, anecdotes are al
ways in order. One cold Sunday morn
ing during the wartime soldier with a
well-worn private's overcoat over his
shoulders entered the vestibule of Grace
Church, and, failing TO receive any notice
from the sexton, leisurely walked up the
main aisle to one of the best seats. The
church was crowded, and shortly after
came dashing Second Lieutenant, evil
IDENTIFY new to his straps, and throwing
back his cloak to display his rank he was
obsequiously taken in charge by Brown.
Walking directly to the seat occupied by
the man in the old overcoat the sexton
tapped the intruder on the shoulder and
said, "There are seats there for YOU"
in a tone that meant :" for such as you"
at the same time indicating rear corner.
Making no response, the private arose,
and without the slightest embarrassment
retired to the part of the church to which
he had been so unceremoniously con-
signed. The seat he vacated was oceu-
pied by the gallant Lieutenant, resplend-
ent in the glory Of brand-new trappings.
The private found his new quarters much
more comfortable than the place he had
vacated, and because of the nearness to
the register he tossed back his overcoat,
revealing to the Mortified gaze of Brown
the stars of a Major. General. The sup
posed private was n p. Banks, and this
incident is related simply to show that
even Brown himself is not intallible.
