Moving the Siege OF Paris.

The great iron building i'm which
the Siege OF Paris has been exhibited a,
near the Centennial buildings, goes to
Boston with the painting, notice OF
which removal has already been
made. 1t is not unfrequent that a
house takes q journey for block or
two, but 1t is rarely that great struc-
ture like this one gathers itself up
and moves four hundred miles. That,
however, is what Manager thinner
uAan proposes to do, and speaking OF
the cost Of freighting and attendant
expenses, says : "S75, 900 Is the mini
mum OF cost to place the thing on
fremont street street, on the same
lot where the Moody and Sankey
wave ebbed and flowed. The paint
Ing, which cost S9O, 900 and required
80 artists six months to paint, goes in
two great boxes, each sixty feet long,
to carry which two cars firmly coup
led together will be required. The
other stuff takes q sea voyage and
rounds Cape Cod before it reaches the
land Of beans and brown BREAD"
1t is twenty-five months since the
great picture was shown to the pub
lie In Philadelphia, and during that
time 93S, ,754 people have presented
paid tickets at the gate, whilst 4,742
have had their hats chslked and
passed in free, for Fred. Zimmerman
is liberal man. During the Centen-
nial period the largest receipts during
any week were $, $50. These figures
represent perhaps better than any
thing else the high appreciation the
great painting has been held in here,
and with such 8 record its success In
Boston is not prOblematieal. On
Monday the work Of removal will be-
gin.-PhlG. Times.

One day this summer who rode fif-
ty miles In q railway car, seated be-
hind four men, who were playing
with those awful playthIngs Of the
deyil-eards. They played euchre
until they were tired OF 1t. They
played little seven-up Pedro, and
occasionally = trifie Of poker. We
never heard a dispute. Their bursts
of merriment occasionally at some
unexpected play repeatedly drew our
eyes from our book. They never
quarrelled, and never called names
once. When we got out at our sta
ton we sat at our window and
watched party Of young men and
maidens play crOquet. In fifteen
minutes we saw two persons cheat
We heard the one play
er who did not cheat accused Ofcheat-
ing five times. We heard four dis
tinct bitter quaTrels. We heard 8
beautiful young girl tell two lies, and
a meek-lOOking young man three,
and finally we saw the young girl
throw the mallet against the fence so
hard il frightened q horse, the other
young girl pounded her mallet so
hard on the ground that it knocked
the buds off an apple tree, they both
banged into the house at different
doors, and the two young men looked
sheepish and went off after 3 drink.
Now, why Is this Isn't crOquet q
good, moral game ?-HdUEeye.

Bread From Standing Wheat In -Four
Minutes ana Thlrty-SeTen
Seconds.

The last sensation occurred last
Thursday, when about fifty men were
present by invitation to see Jim Law
ton beat bis own time OF two years
ago, when his wife had bread baked
in eight and quarter minutes after
the wheat WAS standing in the field.
AT 4.6 10 o'clock the Buckeye Reaper,
drawn by Cy. Burnett's dun mules,
stood at the corner of the growing
wheat, machine in gear ready for q
start. Men were stationed every few
feet along the line Of grain ready to

reaper, and rush with 1t to the thresh-

Lswton and her niece, Miss Alice,
had all the preparations made to

the shortest possible time. At the
drop OF she hat the dun mules sprang
to the work, and in one minute fifteen
seconds threshsd wheat, about q peck,
was in the sack and on the horse, and
the race commenced for the mill.
There were two bridges TO cross, and
the excited spectators could see only
q column OF dust, hear q couple OF
taps on the plank bridges a. the horse
flew over them at lightning speed,
and the wheat was delivered to Law

to Mrs. LswtOn, and in three minutes

LIFE AFsIRATOGI.

Saratoga Is presumed to bs essen
TALLY a wOmGn's paradise. Here they
may indulge in the vanity Of dress,
and the feminine weakness OF being
admired. Young girls dream OF Sara
tOga, dances, fiirtatiOns anu other de-
lights. Ii they come here for those
purposes alone they will only meet
with disappointment. The beauX are
few, and those few prefer the club
houses and race courses to the society
of young ladies. In the bail rooms
the ladies are forced to dance tOgeth-
or or not at all. This Is sad, but it Is
true. This lamentable state of affairs
exists at all Of the watering places, so
that the girls must come here to
study the esthetic aud beautiful, to
rise early, drink the heslthful waters,
breathe the delicious Rir-which is q
tonic Of itself-Walk, ride, dance, read
and cultivate the sOciety OF their own
sex and the steady, Old-fashiOned
husbands who accompany their wives.
They can obtain much valuable inr
formation by looking into the per-
feet management OF this grand hotel,
where all of the machinery runs so
smoothly that we never think OF the
motive power. The kitchens are
models, the store rooms faultlesS.
SOMETHING ABOUT STYLE
vi Uvurse readers always want to
know something about the style Of
dress and whether or no it equals or
surpasses that OF the years gone by.
Ever Saratoga is infected by this
practical age. 1t has come down
. Eor oil
men once stood to be admired. We
may look around for those pedestals,
for we rather like the altitude and
situation. Alas ! for Us, all OF the
pedestals have been hewed into
stock, bonds and politics. The power
of women is broken by bulls and
bears. Well, II the men can stand it
we can, and we are fast drifting into
pursuits which are more elevAting
than the tiresOme one Of standing on
q pedestal to be admired. We are be-
coming doctors, lawyers, writers, lee
turers and stOrming the strOnghOlds
of men. When we reach and then
overtake them in their careers then
we can dictate terms. They will find
US to be generous RdyeTsaries.
New I must tell who are the WO-
men who are the most conspicuous
in dress at SarOtOga. They mostly
belong to the nOuveauX Tiche5-the
wives and daughters Of linen who have
amRssed wealth by the heavy tax
they have laid upon the necesssries
OF life. Coal, ice and other COM
modities have been converted into
diamonds, laees and garments. One
lady purchased from one store nine
teen costly psrasOls. She has three
different costly toilettes for each day,
with a hat to match. All OF the hats
are worn after the same fashion,
screwed to the back hair and standing
slraight uD from the face like palm
leaf fan. There is a greater variety
in dress than 1 ever saw before. Beau
tifuI summer materials are largely
used. These are elegantly made and
the effect is exquisite. Styles vary
as much as materials. The Princess,
skirt and pOlOnaise, skirt Overdress
and basque are all three equal favor
ties. White dresses are more worn
than ever before at Saratoga. These
are costly daintIes, but essential for

Qualify or Potatoes.

The eating quality OF potatoes de-
pends nearly as much on the soil In
which they are raised as upon the va
riety. The following from the AHler-
lean C1tltiUGtOr on the subject will be
read with interest:
The soil acknowledged to be the best
for the potato is q rich loan, sandy,
and not TOO wet nor too dry. A COOL
moist soil will produce larger potatoes,
but the danger Of too much wet is so
great that q warmer soil IL preferable
in this climate. Early potatoes reach
their maturity sooner in quick, light
soil, and present 8 brighter and clean
er appearance, than when dug from
that which Is heavier. A calcareOus
formation generally yields sure crop.
Old sod land, well turned under in the
fall, and lightly plOwed and narrowed
in the spring, will produce 3 sound
crop, and often q very large one.
Glover sod Is excellent for this pur-
pose, since it furnishes large amount
Of vegetable substance to the ground.
When turned under In August or
September 1t will rot by the following
spring. Wet land produces q coarse
unpslstable article, and one OF little
value even as food for cattle.

How She Fixed Him.

The young man was evidently hon.

Of constant courting had failed to
overcome his excessive bashfulness.
They were sitting in chairs at re-
spectful distance apart. Said the

utes in search of a subject
''HOw do you get along with your
cooking ?'

"pm improving wonderfully. l can
