Shakcspeare's Early Married Life.

The Hathaways had lived in Shottery
for forty years prior to Shakespeare's
marriage. The poet, tnen wholly I'M
distinguished, had just turned eighteen,
while his bride was nearly twenty six,
and it is often said now that she did
wrong to wed this boy-lover. They
were married in November, 1852, and
their first child, Susanna, came in the
following May. Anne Hathaway must
have been very wonderfully fascinat-
ing woman, or Shakespeare would not
have loved her so; and she must have
loved him dearly-as what woman, in
deed, could help it?-Or she would not
thus have yielded to his passion.
There is direct testimony as to the
beauty of his person; and in the light
afforded by his writings it requires no
extraordinary penetration to conjecture
that his brilliant mind, sparkling
humor, tender fancy, and impetuous
spirit must have made him in his youth
the very paragon of enchanters. 1t is
not known where they lived during
the first years after their marriage.
Perhaps in the cottage at Shottery.
Perhaps with Hamnet and Judith Sad
Ter, for whom their twins, born in loS5,
were named Hamnet and Judith. Her
fathers house assuredly would have
been chosen for Anne's refuge, when
presently, in 1856, Shakespeare was
obliged to leave his wife and children,
and 60 away to London to seek his for
tune. He did not buy New Place till
1897, but it Is known that in the mean
time he came to his country once every
YEAR Ii was in Stratford that his son
Hamnet died, in 1896. Anne and her
children probably had never lett the
town. They show her bedstead and
other bits of furniture, together with
certain homespun sheets of everlasting
linen, that are kept as heirlooms to this
day, in the garret to the Shottery cot
tage. Here is the room that must often
have welcomed the poet when he came
home from his labors in the gre at city.
1t is a very homely and humble place.
but the SIGHT of it makes the heart thrill
with a strange and incommunicable
awe. You cannot wish to speak when
you are standing here. You are
scarcely conscious OF the low rustling
of the leaves outside, the far-off sleepy
murmuring of the brook, or the faint
fragrance of woodbine and maiden's
blush that is waited in at the open case
ment, and that swathes in natures in
cense memory sweeter than itself.

There is no modern fashionable
notion quite so absurd rs the generally
received idea that to be beautiful and
attractive a woman must possess wan,
spirituelie face and figure of sylph-l like
proportions-a fragility in nine cases
out of ten the result of disease. By
many fashionable bellies it is considered
a special compliment to be spoken of as
frail aud delicate. They forget that the
naturally delicate face and petite figure
are very different from the pale and
disease-stricken faces that meet us in
the city thoroughfares, look out from
the luxuriant carriages of wealth, and
glide languidly through our crowded
drawing-rooms. If disease were un-
fashionable, as it ought to be, not lady
! in the land but would take every pos
! sible precaution to secure the fresh,
blooming face and well-rounded figure
that only health can give. Ladies
should remember that much as gentle
men may profess to admire the face and
form paled and emaciated by disease,
when they choose a wife they prefer a
blooming, healthful, buoyant-spirited
woman. DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription is the acknowledged standard
remedy for female disease and weak
ness. 1t has the two-fold advantage of
curing the local disease and imparting
vigorous tone to the whole system. 1t
Is sold by druggists.

PLANTING GRAPE-V INEs.-One would
suppose that so simple thing as plant
.ng a grapevine would not need writ
ing about, and vet the number of peo-
pie inquiring "liow shall we plant 2"
is so great that few words TO these In
quirers may well be pardoned by those
who think they already know enough
about the matter. The rule is 10 plant
The roots shallow. If they are long
when we have TO transplant them, in
stead of setting them deep we lay them
along about four or five inches beneath
the surface. Ii is of course very nee
essary TO press the soil very hard and
firm over the roots; that is, if the earth
is tolefably dry, though in truth no
vine should be planted except the earth
is in this good condition. Ii is very
useful in planting a grapevine TO cut
it closely in. Unless the last years
growth be very vigorous it may be al
most all cut away. This is the way TO
get a good strong cane for bearing next
year, which is the most that one ought
to expect a vine TO do. Immediate
bearing" is a delusion and snare.
Many a person spends dollar or a half
dollar extra on a vine which he is told
by the seller Twill bear this year"
when for that amount of money he
coald buy treble the quantity of grapes
it will bear for him, even if it bears for
him at all. Still we like to plant good
strong healthy grapes. The little crow
quills which come out as rare grapes
at nigh prices, seldom give much salts
faction. Indeed, il is more than likely
that the immense failures which gen.
erally follow all these introductions
are as much owing TO the way their
propagation is forced ,as to any inherent
inability in the varieties TO become
adapted to soils and climates.

Alloys of different materials in imita-
ton of gold and silver, applicable as
substitutes for these metals for orna-
mental purposes, have been produced
by Melffren Il Co., of Marsellles. To
make an alloy having the color and ap-
pearance of gold. they place in cruci-
BILE copper as pure as possible, platinum
and tungstie acid TO the proportions as
statee below. When the metals are
completely melted they stir and gran
late them by running them into water
containing 500 grammes of Stacked lime
and 800 grammes of carbonate OF potash
for every cubic metre of water. This
mixture, dissolved in water, has the
property of rendering the alloy still
purer. The granulated metal is next
collected, dried, and, after remelting
in crucible, a certain quantity OF fine
gold is added. An alloy is thus produc-
ed which, when run into ingots, pre-
sents the appearance of red gold of the
standard of 1901 900. The color of the
alloy may be changed by varying the
proportions of the different metals. As
fluX boric acid, nitrate of soda and
chloride of SODIUM, previously melted
together in equal proportions, are used.
The proportion of flux to be employed
is % grammes per kilogramme OF the
alloy. The proportions employed by
preference for producing an alloy of
red gold are: Copper. 500 grammes;
platinum, %; tungstic acid, 10, and
gold, 10 grammes.

A Mad Horse

A remarkable incident oc CURED re-
Gently, about five miles from Pottstowh
Pennsylvania, on the Denton road. Be-
bastian Schafer and young man In MS
employ, named James kinerd had
started from home to the timber to get
a load of wood. Schafer was driving
the team and kinerd, was riding an eX-
ira horse with harness on. Nhen
Schafer had driven about half mile
from home, he saw large bay horse,
about twenty steps from the road biting
at one of his hind feet. The horse came
out on the road, and was soon followed
by dog that had followed the wagon
from home. At the sight of the dog
the horse started at full speed down the
road in the direction of the wagon
Shafer turned the team OFF the road,
thinking the horse would pass on, but
instead it sprang on the wagon, and
struck him with his fore feet, knocking
him flat on his back, at the same time
grabbing him on the right shoulder
TIE horse stood nearly over him and
roGe nearly two hundred yards, biting
at him, and all the time squeaking and
kicking. Shafer kicked the infuriated
beast and fought it with his fists, but 1t
succeeded in biting him several times.
Finally Schafer rolled off the wagon,
stopped his team and struck the horse
several blows with a pole he found in
the road. Kinerd ran up anu the two
succeeded in beating the horse off the
wagon, but as it fell off his hind feet
got hung in the front hounds of the
wagon. and several minutes passed be-
fore they got it released from that pO-
sition, all of which time Shaier beat IL
over the head with single-tree. On
being released it tried to leap clear over
the wagon again to get at the man, but
failing ran in the direction OF some
other horses in pasture and tried TO
get at them. Shafer set the dog after
the horse, and after running about
twenty minutes at a rapid speed it fell
in lane, where it died. 1t was decided
by everybody round that the horse had
the hydrophObia.

4 Hunt After Bats.

IL was many years ago, when Mr..
Eccles was young in his profession,
and while on a tour with a provincial
company, that he had taken lodgings
in a clean but rather dilapidated little
house Soon after going to bed he fell
asleep, and soon after falling asleep he
was awakened by strange, fluttering
noise as of a frightened bird, in the cur
tains of his bed. He sprang up, struck
a light, and saw a dark-colored little
creature with wings blundering about
the loom. Not being well acquainted
with natural history, Mr.. Eccles that
was to be, did not recognize it as bat,
but determined 10 catch it, if possible,
and examine it carefully III the MORN
ing Taking up soft felt hat, he be-
gan the hunt, and tried to catch the in
truder for a long time in vain; but at
last he pOuneed upon it, carefully took
it from under the hat, shut it in a
drawer, listened to its Intellectual at
tempts to escape-wanting to be sure
he had really caught it-and went to
bed to dream of flying dragons. But
he was not destined to sleep long.
Hardly had he dozed off when another
flutterIng awakened him, and lighting
another match he found another bat.
After this one he had another hunt,
caught it, put it in the drawer with its
brother, and again went to bed. Again,
however, he was awakened in n similar
manner; bats came not in single spies,
but-if the expression be pardonable-
in battalions Mr.. Eccles hunted dill
igently aud enthusiastically, making
quite 4 collection of specimens, and
putting them all with great care in the
drawer. Heated with the chase, he
then opened the window, and, tired
out. at last enjoyed a few minutes sleep.
Waking with the morning lighi, he
jumped out of bed and opened the
drawer very cautiously, fraction of
an inch at time, to look for his bats
but 10 and behold there were no bats
there. He opened the drawer wide,
and then discovered that il had ne back
10 it. He had, in fact, been passing all
his night in catching the same bat,
which had flown out of the back of the
drawer as soon as he had put it in al
the front, and when the window was
opened had finally escaped.

Il never make mistakes in my own

rubbed his hands together and check
with pleasure.

TAXING COLD.-HOw shall a person
who is sensitive to cold, who takes cold
whenever a door is opened or Il window
raised-how shall such person acquire
that hardiho0d which will enable him
TO endure exposure and avoid taking
cold? In the first place. he should
spend considerable portion of each
day out OF doors. He should do this at
all seasons of the year and in all kinds
of weather. Secondly, he should watch
with the greatest care the temperature
of the room in which he spends the re-
mainder of his time-both the living
room and dormitory. Thirdly, he
should each day bathe his chest and
neck, and, if he can bear il, his whole
body in cold water, and follow this
with a vigorous rubbing with a coarse
towel. What is called the splash-bath
is. perhaps, better than any other for
this purpose. 1t consists simply in
dashing water against the body with
the hand. srhis causes slight shock TO
the skin, which brings the blood TO the
surface; while il causes an involuntary,
deep inspiration of air, which expands
the lungs and increases the force of the
circulation. This can all be accom-
plished in few minutes, and should be
followed by little brisk exercise in a
cold room or in the open air. OF course,
a person unaccustOmed to this should
not commence in cold weather; but,
beginning in the summer, he will find,
as the winter approaches, that his abiii-
w to endure the bath will increase with
the falling of the thermometer, and
that his susceptibility to changes of
temperature will be greatly diminished.

Up 10 the latter half of last century
we had not reached TO the excellence of
the locks that were in use in Egypt and
Chiua thousands of years ago, and have
now for very long period run in the
line of rediscovery or reapplication OF
what had been tested so long ago in
them. The essential principle of the
Egyptian lock was movable pins or
nails dropping, each independently, by
its own weight, into the bolt, and Sc
curing it on being touched at the right
point by corresponding pins at the end
of the true key, all of them requiring
TO be raised together 10 the proper
height. The very latest idea in lock
making may be regarded As suggestions
or applications of this principle.

DOMESTIC.

RECIPES FOR WASHING sELuIDs--
First-Take one pound sal soda; one
half pound unslacked lime; five quarts
rain water; PUT in an iron vessel and
simmer till the soda dissolyes. let 1t
settle till clear, then drain oil. Put
white clothes TO soak, the night before
washing, in boiling rain water. without
rubbing in cold water, in which put
spoonful of fluid for every pail of
water; boil half an hour, then wash
and rinse as usual. Second = One
pound of potash, one ounce salts OF
tartar, one ounce muriate of ammonia.
Dissolve the potash in two quarts OF
hot water, add the other ingredients,
and two quarts more hot water. When
cool put in a jug or glass fruit jars. To
use it put one teacup of the fluid to
three pals of water, and add teacup
of good soft soap tor its equivalent OF
hard soap shaved fine). Place the
least-soiled clothes in the boiler in
cold wafer, with the fluid and soap,
ami boil fifteen or twenty minutes after
they begin TO hoil-this without pre-
vious rubbing. Put the remaining
clothes in tub, with just water enough
to thoroughly wet them, in which put
a little fluid; soap each article as it is
placed in the tub. When the first
clothes are removed from the boiler
| lift in those from the tub without
wringiHg. After boiling wash in warm
water, using as little soap as possible /;
rinse and hang. Third-Half pound
of sal soda, quarter of a pound of borax,
dissolved in one gallon OF hot soft water /;
let it settle; pour off in bottles. One
gill OF this mixture with a pint soft
soap, or half bar of soap dissolved in
hot water, is enough for a washing.
Fourth-Pour twelve quarts of soft
boiling water on two and one-halt
pounds of unslacked lime; dissolve five
pounds sal soda in twelve quarts soft
hot water; then mix, and let them
remain from twelve to twenty-four
hours; pour OFF all the clear fluid, be-
ing careful not to allow any of the sedi-
ment to run off; boil three and one-half
pounds clean grease and three or four
ounces of rOsin in the above lye till the
grease disappears; pour into a box, and
let it stand day to stiffen, and then
cut in bars. 1t is well to put the lime
in all the water, and then add the soda.
After pouring of the fluid, and two OF
three gallons of water and let it stand
with the lime and soda dregs day or
two. This makes an excellent washing
fluid to boil or soak clothes in, with
oIe pint in boiler of water. Costs
fifty cents.
