Emile de Girardin, who entertained
MFR. Gladstone while in Paris at a mag
niicent banquet, at which most of the
distinguished women and men of the
French capital were present, thus writes
of him: ''The English statesman well
represents the leader of the opposition.
OF type more American than English,
what first strikes attention and retains it
are his eyes, wonderful for power and
depth. They seem to see further and
better than others. They light up and
they pierce. 1t would be difficult to de-
! ceive him while looking at him."

A Neat KetMrt.

Mrs. Joseph Gales once gave dinner
at lexington to Nathaniel P. Willis, who
was one of her special friends; he sat be-
side sprightly niece Of hers, aud the
two became very lively. A Mr.. Camp
bell sat beside the hostess, and was de-
voted in his attentions to her. This,
however, did not SO absorb the aunt as to
prevent her from watching the Irritation
going on between Mr.. Willis and her
niece. She frowned and sent reproving
glances down the table until the young
lady seized pencil and paper, and hur-
riedly wrote and sent to her aunt the fol-
lowing lines:
Dear aunt-why seek my acts to trammel?
You strain at my Nat.and swallow your Campbell.
This clever retort silenced the aunt
and secured immunity for the young
lady.

An Improved "Maud Muller"

Doubtless n majority of the readers of
Whittier's" Maud Muller have wished that the
poem had ended with the marriage of the dig
nitcd judge to the fair hay-raker. An Incl
dent in the life of the eccentric Judge Breck-
enridge, of Pittsburgh, would have justified
such finale to the touching ballad.
The judge, who was an Independent sort of
man, much given to having his own way,
rode up one day to tavern in mountainous
district in Pennsylvania. A handsome girl
appeared to offer her services as hostler. She
mounted the horse, rode him off to n spring,
and in returning jumped him over five

The judge looked on in admiration. The

was an obstacle to immediate marriage. The
girl was II diamond, but rough one, and
needed polish and setting before she could ap-
pear in the society in which her intended hus-
band moved
The judge took her to a lady in Philadelphia
tho head of fashionable school for girls.-
"What, sir, will you have her taught?" asked
the lady, after the judge had explained who
was his charge and for what purpose he de-
sired her education.

"Sir, it shall be done"
And it was; and that so cffectually that

Farm Notes.

"A farmer who has tried it speaks in the
highest praise of gas tar for painting wagon
wheels, stating that it tightens tires and
spokes better than anything else that can be
tried.
For warts on cows teats: Common soda,
such as they use in making bread, dissolved
i'll water, and used as Il wash, will sometimes
remove warts, says u farmer. Another says
a strong wash of alum water is a cure.
Oil cake must not be fed to COWS alone.
For cows that are dry feed two pounds of oil
cake with four to six pounds of cornmcal per
day. Avoid sameness in diet Corn meal
alone is likely to put the cows system into a
fevcrsh condition.

race is II long one. Ii takes but Il few hours,
or even few minutes, to so tax horse that
he is out of fix for months.
While it is true that any lime wash can
not be made as durable as paint yet lime
adds materially to the durability of wood, and
if repeated once in three years, answers a
good purpose as general preventive. Stake
one peck of lime, add one pound of glue, one
pound of starch, onehalf pound of borax,
color with cheap paint to suit and reduce
with water to the requisite thickness.

How to Deal With Rats.

A writer in the Scientific american says =
We clean our premises ofthese detestable YER
min by making whitewash yellow with cop
pcras and covering the stones and raflers in
the cellar with Il thick coat of il. In every
crevice where rat might tread, we put the
crystals of the copperas and scatter the same
in the corners of the floor. The result was
perfect stampede of rats and mice. Since
that time not a football of either rats or mice
has been heard about the house Every
spring n coat of the yellow wash is given to
the cellar, as purifier as well as rat exter-
minator, and no typhoid, dysentery or fever
attacks the family. Many persons deliber-
erately attract all the rats in the neighbor-
hood by leaving fruits and vegetables uncov-
cred in the cellar and sometimes even the
soap is left open for their regalement. Cover
up everything eatable in the cellar and pantry
and you will soon starve them out These
precautions joined to the service of good
cat will prove as good rat exterminator as
the chemist can provide. We never allow
rats to be poisoned in our dwelling, they are
so liable to die between the walls and produce
much annoyance.

Guernsey Cattle.

We are sometimes asked to explain the diff
ference between the Jersey, Guernsey and
Alderney cattle. We take it as evidence of
the interest taken in thoroughbred milk stock.
The Guernseys are similar in build to the
Jerseys, though larger and inclined to flesh,
and not so stylish Their color is usually a
rich fawn, with much white; the muzzle and
cyelids are buff; in fact, all the points" are
light, offering strong contrast TO the black
points of u fashionably marked Jersey. The
Guernsey is deep mixer, producing the
yellowest ofbutter ofsuperior quality Some
good judges, familiar with both breeds, place
the Guernseys ahead ofthe Jerseys, as butter
makers, while their size and capability of
taking on fat, when they cease to be useful
for the dairy, render them Il desirable breed
One farmer of our acquaintance, who has an
excellent herd of both of these breeds, saws
that admiXture of the cream from Guernsey
milk with that from Jerseys, gives the butter
deeper, richer color, and makes it bring Il
higher price than from the Jerseys alone
The Guernseys being, as a rule, larger milk
ers, consequently yield more butter, but the
quality of that made exclusively from their
milk, is not quite equal, as it lacks something
of its delibate flavor, to the best Jersey butter
This experience indicates that one or two
good Guernsey COWS in any herd kept for
as marketable article.
Some of the Guernsey cows that we have
seen, are nearer the ideal COW than any others
we have met, their rich color, large fine
bodies, handsome proportions, fully developed
udders, and other milk signs, together with
their rich and generous milk and butter yield,
make them distinct and characteristic breed
ofdairy cattle. The Jerseys hold justly de-
served prominence as butter producers, and
it is safe to predict that their numbers will
greatly increase The recent numerous sales
indicate an increase in their importation, not
wthstanding the fact that some of our breed
ers are now breeding just as good Jerseys as
can be found anywhere in the world The
rapid depletion of the herds of the "mother
country under the annual culling out of 90
600 animals for expectation, render the state
of affairs inevitable. 1t is fact that the best
Jersey cows, both on the Island and in this
country. closely resemble the Guernseys in
size and general appearance fact which
speaks strongly for the Guernsey type as one
to be regarded by breeders of dairy stock of
any kind-Amer3can Agricuhurist

SOUND SENSE IN THE RAISING OF CnIL-
DREN.-A venerable lady now living in New
York, who has had ten children, all born and
reared in cities and raised nine of them, all
living at the present moment, having reached
the adult age never allowed any of them as
children TO cat anything between meals ex-
cept dry bread, though she was wealthy and
could just as easily have pampercd every
whim. Her constant reply was, when any of
them demurred, My dear, you are not
hungry if you cannot eat bread" Now, it is
very certain that her children did not inherit
remarkably robust constitutions; and under
the ordinary pampering system of mothers it
is fair to suppose that many of them would
have died or become puny men and women.
When child knows by experience that he
can have nothing but bread between meals,
he will not ask for it unless he really needs
1t, and then he will take enough to destroy
his keener appetite for the good things at
table; while if he is allowed fruits and pastry
as SO many children are, he will seldom come
to his meals with u fine relish for his food
and taking it without that relish, it fails to be
rapidly assimilated, if indeed il do not enfee-
bic or derange the digestive function.

FILLED with honey, gemmcd with dew

Growing ON the thOrny tree;
inhaSk beauties, peeping out
From the green leaves round about;
Fair wild roses in the dell

Not four-year-Old but knows
Where to find the sweet wild rose.
Pure white roses, white us pearls,
Fit TO crown the maiden's curls:
Yellow roses rich and rare,
Hoses, roses everywhere!
sweet June roses fade, alas!
Dropping pale leaves on the grass.
Scattering petals TO the winds,
Shedding balm that no one finds.
Since the lovely roses fade,
Like all earthly sweetness made,
As they blossom on the bough
Let us drink their sweetness now.

TIE LOST RING.-A curious instance of the
recovery of a lost ring inside root of celery
occurred in Sweden. Mrs. B., in planting
celery in the garden in spring, and while db-
bling holes for the small plants with her finger,
unconsciously dropped her ring into one ofthe
holes. A plant duly was inserted into the hole,
and doubtless through the lost ring, and as the
root grew, the ring must have become imbed-
ded in its substance. The ring had been given
up for lost until the following winter, when
the mystery was cleared by the ring turning
up among the soup at dinner in portion Of
the celery root.-Cham5ers' Journal.
