NEW YORK CITY.
Encouraging to American Ship
Builders.


National Associated Press to the Star.
New YORK, March 22.-It was ascertained
to-day from reliable sources that the pro-
prietors of the White Star Line of steamers
contemplate building sister ship on the
model of the steamer Britannia, now in their
fleet. The new vessel will be constructed at
one of the large ship-building yards on the
Delaware, and the plans, specifications and
model of her lines have already been pre-
pared for the guidance of shipwrights. This
action on the part of the Company assumes
importance for the reason that it is based
on the belief of the directors that they can
obtain vessel constructed Of American
iron and made by American workmen at a
less cost than the other steamers Of their
fleet which were built in Belfast, Ireland,
and Grcenock, on the Clyde. 1t is not as
yet known in which ship-yard the steamer
will be built, but the choice lies between

porter, says he is out of politics, and has no
desire of re-enterng it. He also says he

count and the question of Mr.. Hayes title
to the Presidency.

Seven steamships have already left for
Europe this week Tomorrow the outgo-

Weary Amid the Glitter.

A lady whose husband held one OF
the highest places in the Government
stood in her magnificent homo attired
for her weekly reception: 'How glad>
" would l give up all the finery, show
and IL sincerity of this place and go
back to the rooms 1 lived in when we
were first married / would throw my
silks and diamonds away and sit down
to my supper of chip beef and tea at
sunset, and afterwards take a long
quiet walk with Will, and rest on the
stump in the moonlight, and tell my
little plans for the future, and what ]
had done every hour while he was gone,
and know that we were alone in the
world, living only for each other. Those
days seem like days in heaven. l work
harder now than any slave; often three
hundred calls to return in a single
week, receptions or parties every night
see the same people, hear the same talk,
eat the same things, come home dis
gusted, wonder what 1 am living for
where 1 will go when / die. Bette,
must have Hon. and Secretary
here tomorrow; 1 must get their
influence; you must talk music to the
Secretary, and you must ask Hon.
about monolith: monolith is his hobby
Do your best. l need their help 81
it is always. Help. influence, power
smile in my face, interest in my man
ner, living a lie; feeding my soul OF
husks."

Fall Feeding.

We find no season of the year which
is more trying to any kind Of stock than
the month of November. Frosts have
even robbed the best pastures OF much
of their nourishment, aud while the quail
ity or feeding power is deficient. This
is perhaps more apparent with fattenlng
stock than any other kind, but its ef-
fects are visible in all. Thessupply OF
milk is sometimes lower in the dairy In
November than in January, and is al
most certain to be 80 when the COWS are
not fed in addition to their usual Gi-
lowance of pasture. Fat steers during
the season will often not fail to gain IN
weight but often go back during the
whole of the moth. There is probable
no season of the year when little
grain or bran will do more good either
to the milk or beef supply thsn in No
yember, and our milk producers are
fast finding it out. But little can be
accomplished by feeding hay, for the
stock can still find enough grass to de-
stroy their appetite for dry food, and
hence we must look maiuly to grain for
help. In the milk dairy bran will sup-
plant the failing pasture best, for but
ter or beef soft corn is the best. No
matter what kind of stock or for what
the purpose for which it is being fed,
il is easier to save the pounds in No>
yember than to add on in January.

Rum and Tobacco.

Gath, the we'll informed Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati En-.
quirer, says that last year-the year Of
civilization jubilee-there were paid
into the United States Treasury, in tax,
on whiskey and tobacco alone, the sum
of sos. 10000. "Here, says he, care
one hundred millions authorized by the
Congress aud collected by the govern
ment on the two articles which conquer
statesmen and soldiers. The tipplei
and the drunkard, the smoker ano
chewer, pay one hundred millions
wear to government for permission te
use a domestic article. Besides all i'm
ported liquors come in, paying two dol
lars a gallon to benignant govern
ment."

A Revival in Farming.

A great revival is going on in all that
relates to agricultural interests is plain
enough to the most ordinary compre>
hension. The success of the farming
occupation, but especially its reliance
for man, is on almost all tongues.
The great crop of the present year have
come forward to prove the value OF this
occupation as it has never before been
demonstrated in this country. Men
are at least convinced that agriculture
is at the bottom of our national pros>
psrity. They comprehend in an entire
ly new way how branches of business
depend upon it. But for this years
crop, we might still have waited. as We
have been waiting for the last four
years, for start in trade and manufac-
lures. Any person can now see that it
would have been impossible to. do any
thing whatever If farming had not put
its long and pawerful lever undey aud
pried the country ont of the rut IN
which it was set.

Pacts worth Rem mem bering.

Corrots for horses, experiments have
shown. are most beneficial when fed
with oats. Alone, they are less nutri-
tous than oats alone, but whom fed to
aether in the proportion OF, say two
quarts of oats and two of sliced oar
rots to a mess. the result will be more
satisfactory than If either were fed
separately.
A new enemy to grain has lately
been discovered in cargo OF barley
discharged at Amsterdam. 1t is
small, microscopic maggot, OF an un>
known species, and besides the injury
it inflicted on the grain, its presence
there produced serious illness and
peculiar eruption of all who came in
contact anywhere with the cargo.
To facilitate the paturition OF COWS
the administration Of few handsful OF
licensed with their drink for three or
four weeks before their calving, is
strongly recommended by writer iu
the LandWirth, a German agricultural
paper In over thirty yerrs practice
he has always found it to act beneti-
cially, and, moreover, it increases the
secretion of milk, decreases inhama-
ton and constipation and forms GER
tain remedy in retention OF after birth.
To drain a depression in a field,
where clayey or hardpan subsoil pre-
vents the sinking of raiuwater, and the
lay of the land is unfavorable for ordi-
nary methods of drainage, first dig
| hole as if for we'll through the imper-
vious stratum at the bottom of the hol-
low, fill it up to the brim with refuse
stones, remove the excavated earth 80
as to allow the surface water free acoess
to the pit, and standing water will
never injure the grass or grain crop in
that part of the field.
Defective seed corn is great aggra
vation to the farmer in the spring. 1t
causes delay in replanting, or occasions
serious loss in the crop if Ieplanting Is
omitted. This is the time to avoid the
difficulty by storing up full supply Of
sound seed. Select perfect, well form
ed ears, and store them safely IN dry
place, and the troubls alluded 10 will bs
| obyiated.
| Dahlia roots should he stored in
cellar free from frost!or damp, but not
80 warm as to shrivel them up. Whers
potatoes keep we'll they will be safe
from injury. They should not. howev-
er, be lifted from the ground until their
branches are blackened by the frost,
and dry day should be selected for
this work. Dig them early in the fore
noon, let them dry Few hours in the
sun and pack them in boxes. II Gov
cred with dry sand they will keep per
fectly.
A Connecticut river farmer plowed
tunder n rank growth of clover, and
then planted winter wheat which har-
vested twenty seven and half bushels
to the acre. A neighbor, whose land
adjoined tho above plat, planted the
same kind Of seed, but without fertilf-
zing with clover. aud obtained fair
crop of wheat straw that contained no
grain.

SIX Bible Names,

Say them over a good many times,
until you can remember them, and the
order in which are given.
Adam, Enoch, Abraham, Solomon,
Christ, St. John.
Repeat them again, aud then learn
the following bit of Bible chronology
l. From the time Adam was created
until Enoch was translated was 1000
years.
2. From the time Enoch was trans
lated until Abraham was born, was
1000 years.
3. From the time Abraham was born
until the time Solomon dedicated the
Temple was 1000 years.
4. FROM the time Solomon dedica-
ted The Temple until Christ was born
was 1000 years.
5. From the time Christ was born
until st. John died was 100 years.
Thus the Bible history of 400 years
is divided into five periods.
