A. T. Stewards Real E,tate.

The total assessed value of all A. T.
Stewards real estate in New York city,
according to the official figures, is q lit
tie over Sc, ,OOO, 900, on which he paid
city tax last year of $180,000. The as
sessed values, it is well known, repre-
sent about two-thirds of the market
value of city property, which would
place the aggregate worth of this prop
erty at $4,000, 900. Garden City, on
Long Island, is worth s., 600, 900; the
Grand Union Hotel at Saratoga and ap-
purtenances are worth another million,
and the Glenham carpet works and fac
tories, near Fishkin on the Hudson,
possibly an additional million. Assum-
ing the New York city real estate TO be
worth $8,0OO,OOO, which is an outside
figure, the total fum of these enterprises
would reach $11, 100000. he invariably
paid the whole of the purchase money
for his real estate in cash, never giving
a mortgage, but insisting on clearing OF
every incumbrance. He was opposed
to selling any of his real estate, and
"bought to keep"

The Pet Calf's Grave.

A London paper says it is impossible
to disconcert Scotchmen, unless he has
been demoralized by residence in the
south, and as proof thereof tells the fol-
lowing story A lady residing near a
Scotch city had set her affections on a
handsome little calf, and was much an
noyed on being informed by her man
servant that her pet had been accidental
ly 40 much hurt that he had been
obliged to kill it. The lady, who had
loved the creature too well to think for
one moment of disposing of its remains
by any culinary process, ordered the man
to bury it, and herself superintended the
burial. When the chief mourner was
gone, however, it forcibly occurred to
the sexton that here was waste of good
material, so he disinterred the calf.
Meanwhile, the lady dreamed dream;
she saw round of veal smoking on her
servants board, and, when morning
dawned, summoned him to her presence,
and explained to him that for divers
reasons she desired once more to behold
the body of her favorite. Without be-
traying the slightest uneasiness, the
worthy man followed her to the rifed
sepulcher, took his spade, and dug; no
result appeared, and still he dug; dug
on, indeed, till his mistress cried out in
utter weariness: L" Why, John, you must
have eaten the calf" "'Deed," replied
John, without moving muscle of his
countenance, "and that's just what I've
done, my Teddy"

In the Olden Time.

In the memory of people now living,
i5 was the custom of the country that
housewives should card, spin, and weave
their own wool and flax. The children
and the grown folks we're dressed in
home-spun cloth. The bride went to
her joyful husband with great store of
linen, prepared by her own hands while
she was :sspinster" in her mothers
house she "hired out " in the families
of the neighb to earn money to add
10 her dowry, and her stalwart spouse
wrought out his time at the pillow, loom,
anvil, or bench of some substantial citi-
zen. He served seven years, as Jacob
served for Rachel, and "thought the
years not long for the love he had
10 her." The hired men and maids sat
at table with their masters and mis-
tresses. The matrons wrought in the
midst of their hand-maidens, just as
Penelope did in the midst of her women.
The sturdy children waded through the
snow two or three miles to the district
school. They were soundly whipped
with birchen rod when they we're
stupid or unruly, and the boys followed
the plow as soon as they were out of
pinafores. In city and in country the
greatest wealth procured no such luxury
and convenience as that enjoyed by the
middle class to-day. The finest acquisi-
tions, compared with what is now need
full for common comfort, would seem
poor and mean.

A PerpleXed Indian

Somebody dropped some quicksilver
on the sidewalk in Montana, and an In
dian tried to pick it up. First he made
q grab at it with his thumb and forefn-
ger, and was astonished when he found
he couldn't pick it up. He was deter
mined to have that quicksilver anyhow;
so he unwound handkerchief from his
hat, and spreading it on the ground got
a chip and scraped the quicksilver into
it. A look of triumph shot from his
eagle eye as he gathered up the four cor
ners of the handkerchief, but it was re-
placed by one of horror and disgust
when the metal run through the fabric
like water through sieve. Looking at
the metal as it lay on the ground in a
puzzled sort OF way for a moment, he
launched vicious kick at it, and utter
ing an angry ejaculation, he turned on
his heel and left the quicksilver for some
other untutored son of the forest to e1-
pertinent on.

Finding the Sunset.

Oh, the beautiful home Of the sunset,
Hung out on the western sky,
Where the days lay down their brightness,
And bathing in splendor, die!
Swekt friends in the home of our childhood,
The gentle and loving ones, stand
Gazing out as We enter life's wildwood
In search of the sunset land.
Full soon do the meadows grow broader,
And rougher the path where We stray,
Less frequent the cool, gushing fountains,
And the sunset seems further away.
Aud the friends who have journeyed with Us,
We lay with the moldering dead;
They have reached the bright sunset before US,
And lonely the pathway We tread.
But the foods Of molten glory
Which Beam from the sunset land
Fill our hearts with restless longing
On those beautiful shores to stand
Our locks, once sunny and golden,
Are white as the drifting snow;
Our eyes have grown dim with their gazing,
And our footsteps are feeble and slow.
As We near the eternal splendor
We pause at a swelling stream;
We must cross it ere reaching the hilltops
Which glow in the sunsets beam.
So, closing our eyes for moment
In the suns last dazzling ray,
We awake where glory dwelleth,
In land of perpetual day.

Trimmings for Ladies' Dresses.

Fly fringe is one of the most popular
trimmings, says fashion journal. 1t is
little tasseled clusters of light fluffy silk
tied in strands of twist, and is very
eff ctive. Four inches is the width
mt st used, and this costs $3.50 yard
in olack or colors. There is also fly
an l-braid fringe, with clusters of crimp-
ed braid and clusters of the silk-tied fly
tassels. This is also $3.50. More ex-
pensive fly fringes have heavily netted
headings, and cost 81 yard. Hand
soonest of all is a fringe six inches
wide, made with deeply pointed heading
that is netted and fancifully plated;
small tassels are strung in the net, and
the price is $3.50. A fringe for service
has braided and netted heading, but
is only three inches deep, and costs
S1.25 a yard. There are elaborate
fringes, made to order to match certain
dresses, that are as costly as lace, bring
ing So or $40 a yard. Worsted tassel
fringes are chosen for wool suits, and
cost thirty or forty cents.
Feather-edged galloons In light open
work patterns are shown In the stylish
two inch widths at from ninety cents to
$l.75 a yard. New cashmere trimmings
are galloons made up of narrow wool

black are chosen for trimming de bege
and other woolens. Those half an inch
wide are fifteen cents, and are put on
French costumes in clusters of parallel
rows, having eight rows in cluster.

Learn to Swim.

Capt. Webb, the great swimmer,
writes, in CasseUs Family Magazine
1t is the duty of every parent to insist
on his sons learning to swim. 10 teach
very young child to swim, the best
place is large puddle in the sand at
low tide. The child, like puppy, will
begin by padding. If you throw cork
into the water, you will see the puppy
run in up to its depth and give short
bark; and the chances are, especially If
there is a grown up dog that can swim
to set him an example, that in day or
two he will take his plunge of his own
accord, and very proud he will be OF his
first success; only here again, don't
overdo it. As soon as the puppy has
been in, walk away, and call him, and he
will be more anxious to 60 into the water
another time. Now, treat your child
like your puppy. Entice him to go in,
and if you can get some older child who
can swim to go in with him all the bet
ter, but let the child do just as he likes.
Get two children to play at splashing
one another; they will enjoy the fun, and,
gradually getting excited, will venturein
deeper and deeper.

The Wonderful Ventril0quist.

Sir David Brewster notices ventrilo-
quist of exceptional skill, M. st. Gille,
who one day entered church where
some monks were lamenting the death of
a brother. Suddenly they heard voice,
as if from over their heads, bewailing
the condition of the departed in purga-
tory, and reproaching them for their
want of zeal; not suspecting the trick,
they fell on their faces and chanted the
"De Profundis." A committee ap-
pointed by the Academic des Sciencesto
report on the phenomena of ventrilo-
uuism went with M. st. Gille to the
house of q lady, to whom they announced
that they had come to investigate case
of aerial "spirits" somewhere in the
neigbborhood. During the interview she
heard what she termed Esprit voices I"
above her head, underneath the floor,
and in distant parts of theroom, and was
with difficulty convinced that the only
spirit present was the ventriloquistic
voice of NJ. st. Gille. Brewster tells of
another master of this art, Louis Bra
bant, valet des chambre to Francis l.,
whose suit was rejected by the parents
of abeautiful and we'll lowered girl with
whom he was in love. He called on the
mother, after the death of the father,
again to urge his suit; and while he was
present she heard the voice of her de-
ceased husband, expressing remorse for
having rejected Louis Brabant, and con-
turing her to give her immediate consent
to the betrothal. Frightened and
alarmed, she consented. Brabant, deem
ing it desirable to behave literally in
the marriage arrangements, but having
not much cash at command, resolved to
try whether his ventriloquism would be
as eficacious with money lending
banker as it had been with the widow.
Calling on the old usurer at Lyons, he
managed that the conversation should
turn upon the subject of demons, spec
ters, and purgatory. Suddenly was
heard the voice of the usurer's father,
complaining of the horrible sufferings
he was enduring In purgatory, and say
ing that there was no way of obtaining
alienation except by the usurer advanc.
ing money to the visitor for the sake of
ransonling Christians from the hands of
the Turks. The usurer was terrified,
but too much In love with his gold to
yield at opce. Brabant went next day
and resumed the conversation, when
shortly were heard voices of host Of
dead relations, all telling the same ter
rible story, and all pointing out the only
way of obtaining relief. The usurer
could resist no longer; he placed 10000
crowns in the hands of the unsuspected
ventriloquist, who of course forgot to
pay it over for the ransom of Christians
either in Turkey or anywhere else.
When the usurer learned afterward how
he had been duped he died of vexation.

The Value of Our Crops for 1874.

The total value of all agricultural pro-
ducts in the United States for the year
1874 was So, Al, 53S, $50. The products
derived, directly and indirectly, fro from
the grass crop, are estimated at Sl,2S2, >
600, 600, itemized as follows: Hay, 27,-
GOO, tons, at $40 per ton, $500, ,OOO,-
COO; live stock, $1,525, 900, 900; animals
slaughtered for food, $500, 600, 600; but- but
ter, $514, 100000; milk, $25, 600, goo;
wool, $25, 900, 900; cheese, $1,000, 600.
The estimated total derived from grass
is probably too large, for the reason that
the hay crop, the value of which isgiven
as one of the items, must have been
used to some extent in swelling the
other values. Still it is doubtless safe
to say, allowing more than half the value
of the hay to 60 to this account, that in
round numbers the value of the produc-
tions depending upon the grass yield OF
1874 was S., 200, 100000.

A Shower of Worms.

Something similar to the meat shower
of Kentucky are the worm showers in
Norway. The Morgen6lad of Chris
tiania states that this singular pheno
menon was observed there after recent
violent storm, a number of worms were
found crawling on the snow, and it was
impossible to find any crevices in the
ground from which they might have
crept out, as the earth was frozen. The
explanation of the Kentucky meat shower
as of the presence of the worms IS the
same. Both the frogs and lizards were
lifted up by wind storms. having their
centers in distant localities, carried mp
in the air, and dropped again in other
places.

Two Mothers and Two Babes.

Two women in Des Moines, Iowa,
gave birth to children in the same room
and at the same time. The woman who
cared for the little strangers, bathed
and clothed them, and started to present
them to their waiting mammas. Then
she made the startling discovery that
she had inextricably mixed the infants
so that she was unable to decide which
was the mother of either. The two
mothers cast lots for choice, agreeing
that if the children should, when grown,
develop family traits sufficiently to
identify them they should be exchanged
if the selection should prove to be In
correct.

with cock in a bag, and the other with
bird under his arm. They were only
common roosters, and Jake declined to
buy. As he came out from breakfast,
and was going to yoke the cattle, Mike
Flaharty met him with a dressed fowl in
q basket" "And sure it was dead-game
rooster that ye were wantin, and 1
thought Mistress Frink might be hav-
ing company to dine, and I brought
him I'D airly." Jake thought there was
q difference between dead game cock
and a cock dead, but failed to make
Mike see it, and he went off in pet.
He now started on his sled for the wood
lot, and was hailed seven times In Hook
ertown street about that "dead game
ruster." It seemed as if every man had
rooster on the brain, and the boys roos-
ter on the tongue. He began to think
Hookertown had done nothing else but
breed game birds for the last few years.
Saturday he went down to the grocery
store, where they keep the post-ofice,
for Jug of molasses, and Colonel Sizer,
the postmaster, told him he had some
letters, which was a very rare thing.
He thought at once that some OF his
wife's folks must be sick or dead, espe-
cially as the letters were all postmarked
Shadtown. He was thinking of funeral
when he opened the first letter, but
there was nothing dead but that "game
ruster." Every letter offered game birds
varying in price from one dollar to
twenty. As he opened the eleventh and
last letter, and caught sight of that game
bird, he dropped his spectacles and
made for the door. He did not stop
until he reached the Gazette Office
where he offered the following adver-
tisement for next week: No more
game rusters wanted. Jacob Frink."
Jake is converted to a firm faith in
printers ink, and there is not the least
danger of his falling from grace. wish
we had more of these conversions. Not
one farmer in ten pays out dollar a
year for advertising-either for what he
wants or what he has to sell. He does
not read the advertisements in his agri-
cultural paper if he takes one-and if he
ever ventures upon fine stock of any
kind, he grudges few dollars for prin-
ter 8 ink, and sells them to some mid
dle.man who advertises and doubles his
money. He thinks fine stock don't pay.
Printers ink would make it pay, and
everything else worth raising upon the
farn.-Anserican Agricattturist.
