Princess Bisnark.
From Blackwood's Magazine.

The wife Of Prince Bismark, 10.
hanna Won Patkammer, of an old and
noble Pomeranian family, was born
IN 1924. He made her acquaintance
at the marriage of one of his friends,
where she acted as bridesmaid. and
two years later--in ls47-hc asked
her to become his wife. Her parents
were not at first disposed to accept
his proposals. At that time Herr Won
Bismarck enjoyed a rather curious
reputation. He was surnamed ader
toAe Bismarck" (mad Bismarck). and
bad earned this title by his numerous
duels, his daring feats of horseman-
ship, and some widely spread anec-
dotes concerning his attitude towards
professors, bnrgomasters, and other
respectable members of what the Ger
man students call aPhillistine socie-
W" But more especially he owed
his surname to the noisy revels he
used to hold with number Of ex-
ceedingly loud young men at Kniep.
hof and at Schoenhausen. To quiet
respectable, religious people like the
Putkammers he did not appear
very eligible sutton for an only and
beloved child. Bismarck, however,
settled the question at once. He
walked up to Miss Johanna, and, hav-
ing ascertained by a look that she
sided at him, he folded her in his
arms and said, turning to her aston
ished relatives, "What God has unit.
ed no man shall put asunder." Prin-
cess Bismarck has preserved all the
simplicity of her youth. She is
perfect specimen, in the best sense
of the word, of the German hausfrau,
(housewife). She is very quiet, bears
her honors as the most natural thing
in the world, holds fast by the old
friends of humber days. and has but
one great object in life-to make her
husband, children happy. She cares
for them in peaceful motherly way,
and her serenity and patience which
have always secured for Bismarck
quiet home have certainly contributed
to his success in life. "She it isl he

Feeding and Care of Fowls.

Bone meal is often recommended
for mixing with the food of chickens.

ton Of this may be digested and as.
simulated, sinee:it will be triturated in

hardly be necessary, however, when
fowls are fed some animal food, as
they should be, where they do not
have full liberty in summer. When
eggs are expected they should always
be fed literally with refuse meat,
chopped, In winter.
Many persons instead of feeding
the meat fresh, boil the meat and
bones into soup, to be mixed with the
meal fed, the meat being chopped fine
or fed separately. When the meat is
chopped it is better to mix it with the
meal fed, since this allows the whole
flock to get their due share. Once 8

sumed by Fire This Morning.

alarm of fire was sounded in lower Mar
tins Ferry, caused by the burning oil
the we'll known and extensive cooper
shops OF Parks < Mears' 1t appears,
from what information We could gather
in conversation with Mr.. Mears AT the
shops, that the fire originated in the
boiler rooms. aS the works had been
running all day yesterday until late last
evening. How the fire communicated
is not known. unless the doors Of the
furnace had been left open and the fire
iell into some shavingS close by. Nv

Der. except the stables, dry houses, shop

were first built in 1886, by MesSrs,
Woods x Strong. and have been run Tor
n number OF years, at least until 1874,
during which year Mcssrs. Parks
4 Mcars purchased them. The
last named firm has made
about $1,000 worth OF improvements,
by largely increasing tho capacity OF the
works, building a large brick engine
house and putting in engines valued at
5000. The loss is estimated at
$4,000, with 5000 insurance, por-
ton of which, 5000, is held by
the German Insurance Company oI this

is equally divided among three
