Actirity in BlRimore and Certainty Of such a
Royai Time as Nercr Before had Aay-
1rLere.
The busy notes of preparation are heard
on hll sides in Baltimore, and the OrIole
will prove an event, the equal of which in
brlliancy, splcndor nd extent WAS never
known n this country. From Monday
morning to the wee small hours of We'd
nesday nicht, there will be one constant
succession of brilliant spectacles. The
paeeaat rucsday night the llth, Will be
dazzling in the extreme The floats upon
which the tabloaux will be shown are ofun-
usually large dimensions being placed upon
rlil road tracks and run over the line OF
march upon street car tracks. This enables
the construction Of the tablcauX upon a
very large scale, and insures so steady and
solid 4 transit rs to afford almost no end OF
opportunity for display. Not only will the
line of march be illuminated from one end
t. tie other, but the entire city will be
ljghtcd bv electric, calcium and other lights.
1t will indeed be such ipht as VIII live IN
memory for years tocome. The decorations
throughout the city will of themselves be
worthy of Journey to look upon. Balti-
more demonstrated her great TASTE III thls
line at the Scsqu- Centennial last year, and
the improvements she will make this year
will surprise all Everybody appears tO.be
interested in the event and OriOlc IS the
talk of the town. Themunicipala authorities
will make the reception to the distinguished
Franchmcn the most noteworthy Of any
that will be tenlcrcd them duung their
stay in this country. The most brilliant
festivities viii be iuaugurated in their honor
and the grand bail and carnival with which
the hree days viii end promises to ECLIPSE
all previous attempts at such sort Of thing
anywhere in the country. Every care Will
be taken by the 3. &. 0. to provide the best
of accommodation for the transportation OF
the immense crowds which i'll 20 from the
line Of the road to Baltimore. The exceed
ingly low rate OF one-half the susual fare
proves very popular, as also the ten days
limit on the tickets.

MIR comes frcn, Food.

We know many dairymen who give their
cows small grain ration all the season,
and, keeping strict account Of the yield Of
milk, sho-' that they make money by this
libcraiity. One who feeds fifty cows told us
lately that he fed four pounds of middling
per day through the season, finding that he
was fully paid in the extra milk; and the
COW was in so much better condition - the
fall that it saved hioi the 'yhole cost ofthis
extra food in wintering lie has followed
this system for ten years. lie called our
attention to a neighbor Of bis, keeping about
the same number of cows, who followed
what he called the economical planet his
cows pick for themsclyos-b0th takirg their
milk to the same factory Good feeding
produced SIS per COW; poor, S27-a difference
Of siyty-six per cent. in favor Of liberality
of feeding. This illustration can be found
in almost any dairy town. Leteyery dairy
man ask himself to which class ne belongs.

II WAS in n smol.iag "a. OF the Hudson

Among the recent Inventions is 4 pillow
holder. II IS explained that the pillow
holder IS for the purpose ofholding apillow
while the pillow-case is being put on. We
trust this new invention will not come into
general Use, as there is no light more beau
ti;ul % the eve of man than 10 see woman
hold pillow in her teeth while she gently
manipulates pillow-casc over It. We do
not say that q woman is beautiful with her
mouth full Of pillows. No one can ever
accuse Us of saying that, but there is some
thing home-like and o!d-iashioned about 1t
that cannot be replaced by any invention.
''e know certain ever-fastidiOus women have
long clamored for some new method of
putting on a pillow case, but these people
have either lost their teeth, or the rev ones
they have bought DO not grasp the situation.
They have tried several new methods, such
as blowing the pillow-case up, and trying to
get the pillow in before the wind got out, and
they have tried to get the pillow in by roll
Ing mp the pillow-case until the bottom Is
reached, and tlsen placing the pillow on end
and gently unrolling the pill0Y-case, butall
these schemes have their drawbacks. The
old style of chewing ore erd of the pillow,
and holding Il the way retriever dog holds
q duck, till the pill0w-case is on, and then
spanking the pillow couple OF times on
each side, Is the best, and it gives the
woman's jaws about the only rest they get
during the day II any Invention drives
this old custom away from US, and We no
more see the nations Of the land with their
hair full of feathers and their mouths full Of
striped bed-tickiug, we shall feel that one
of the dearest Of our institutions has been
ruthlessly torn from Us, and the fabric OF
our national supremacy has received a sad
blow, and that our liberties are in danger.
