TYPES OF STAGE KISSING.

The Abbott Kiss Artistically Considered The
Positive and the Comparative.
From Nym Crinkle's Feuilliton.
No amount of interviewing could evolve
Miss Abbotts views on the kiss. All that
she could be got to admit was that the bal
cony scene in Romeo and Juliet was copied
from painting of Antony and Cleopatra,
which she had seen at Milan. ''People
talk about what they are pleased to call the
Abbott kiss said. she, altogether forget
ting that if the scene is not made realistic
it would be utterly flat, stale, and unprofit-
able. I will not sing roles like Traviata, of
which l do not approve, but those which l
do act I Will act with my whole heart and
whole soul, with all the art which God has
given me. I have never sung yet that
was not accused of being in love with the
tenor, just because sing and act in dead
earnest. That is what realism in art means
So much for the positive kiss. The stu
course, look over the whole field in his
toric way, will have to take into considera-
ton the various schools of OSCILLATION.
There was the platonic kiss of kellogg, who
used to fling them like icicles with her fin
ger tips, and as Sher Campbell once said,
there were chilblains in them. Then there
was the Presbyterian kiss of Ada Dyas, who
used to plant it on Montague's left ear. or
on the back of his neck, and always created
an impression in the gallery that she had
bit him; and the Lolita bubble, which always
sounded like the pulling Of a cork, and
seemed to be number Of linked kisses eff
ervescing; and the Corinthian kiss of Vain
wright-a severe affair; somewhat motherly,
and when dropped upon stock actor al
ways frightened him little bit, as if he had
pulled New Testament out of his pocket
instead of pack of cards; and the Carey
kiss-ah! The romantic Carey kiss, that
never begun anywhere and never ended -
that ran down the back, and tingled in the
arms and legs, and made the hair stand on
end, and was accompanied with laughter,
whose echoes were undying; and the cav
ernous Soldene kiss, that opened its ponder
GUS and marble jaws with report like the
bursting of an india rubber balloon.
Vino shall formulate all these schools for
us? Certainly not Abbott; for hers is the
spiritual kiss, and we are not educated up

Fifty Years in the Army.

Gen. Randolph B. Marcy, who has been
placed on the retired list of the army by the
President, has seen over fifty years Of actu-
al service in the army. He was the leader
in several expeditions on the western plains
and in the Indian country and marked out
the route to California in 1848 from Fort
Smith, Ark, to Ell Paso, New Mexico. In
1859 he explored the Red River, and in
1857 he accompanied the Utah expedition
and made his famous trip of $50 miles in
the dead of winter and through the deep
snow to obtain supplies for Gen. Johnston,
with forty volunteers. The supplies were
obtained with the greatest difficulty and
after many perils. For several years Gen.
Marcy has been inspector general Of the
United States Army.

BUCKWHEAT CAKES

A Series of Approved Recipes---Take your
Choice.
BUCKWHEAT CAKES. I.-Three parts by
measure of huckwheat -four to one part of
graham -four, and mix with buttermilk in
stead Of water. Keeping buckwheat batter
is often very troublesome, especially in
mild weather. 1t can be kept perfectly
sweet by pouring cold water over that left
from one morning, and which is intended
to be used for raising the next morning
cakes. Fill the vessel entirely full of water,
and put in cool place; when ready to use
pour off the water, which absorbs the acidity.
COOKING RECEIPTS, Harper's Bazar.
BUCKwHEAT CAKES, II.-Make thin
mush of corn meal, cooking it 10 minutes;
let it become perfectly cool before putting
the cakes to rise. In mixing the cakes,
take pint of the mush to quart OF buck
wheat -four; add water and yeast as in or.
binary cakes made of buckwheat Making
a mush of the corn-meal prevents the raw
taste there always is when the meal is put
in uncooked.-CooK1NG RECEIPTS, Har.
per's Bazaar.
BUCKwHEAT CAKES, IV.-One quart of
buckwheat-meal, four tablespoonfuls of
Yeast, one teaspoonful Of salt, one handful
of Indian meal, two tablespoonfuls of mo-
laSSeS, not syrup, WdiM WAFER euOuSn 10
make thin batter; beat very well, and set to
rise in a warm place; if the batter is in the
least sour in the morning stir in a very little
soda dissolved in warm water; mix in an
earthen crock, and leave some in the bot
tom each morning, cupful or SO, to serve
as sponge for the next morning, instead of
getting fresh yeast. In cold weather this
may be successfully pursued for week or
IL days without setting a new supply. Of
course, you add the usual quantity Of -four
each night, and beat up well.-CoMMoN
SENSE, MARION HARLAND.
BUCKwHEAT CAKES, V.-One pound of
buckwheat flour, quarter of a pound of
Indian meal, and quarter of a pound Of
wheat -four. all mixed we'll together dry.
Dissolve half cake of compressed yeast. or
a gill of bakers yeast, in q pint Of warm
water, q teaspoonful of sal: mixed well with
your -four, then add water enough to make
a batter the consistency Of any drop cake.
Mix this batter between 9 and 10 o'clock
and place it where the temperature is warm,
not hot. The next morning bake on very
hot, slightly creased, griddle in large spoon
fuls.

Mr.. Seebohm, recent traveller in Sibe-
ria, says that birds to go the Articregions to
breed, not by thousands but by millions"
And he tells us that the cause Of the mi
grafton is the search after food, which is
there provided for them with lavish prodi-
gality "Seea or fruit eating birds find an
immediate and abundant supply of cram
berries, crowoerries and other ground fruit,
which have remained frozen during the long
winter, and are accessible the moment the
snow has melted; while insect-eating birds
have only to open their mouths to fill them
with Mosquitoes"

Wild Religion in Texas.
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News.
The Sanctifcationists have received Tight
to assemble in this city, to await the coming
Of the second Christ. The advance guard
under the leadership of Apostle Henry Muh-
Ter, put in an appearance last week, and has
been holding quiet meetings in the suburb.
The whereabouts of the Tabernacle" was
made known to the neighbors on Saturday
night by the vehemance of Mrs. Lizzie Co.
henhagen, who, besides breaking eight
panes of glass out of the window, danced
while stripped to the skin. In her animal
ed fervor she fell over the stove, burning
herself severely and bruising her eleven
months child, which, just before swooning,
she snatched from the bed and held in her
arms. Yesterday physicians found Mrs.
Cohenhagen and her mother in profound
coma, superinduced by nervous excitement
and want of food, of which they had not
tasted for forty eight hours. Three men
were lying in the corner, where, according
to their statements, they had been prostrat-
ed by the Holy Ghost and ordered to re-
main there in silent prayer until they re-
ceived eight" Food was administered to
the women, but at this writing they are still
Frustrated and speechless. Henry Cohen
hagen says his wife is the bride-elect Of
Christ, and was ordered to reveal herself to
the faithful Sin the purity of woman be-
fore the fall and the Garden of Eden. +"
The men say that they are accepted apostles;
that had they not been disturbed theywould
have fallen asleep while in deep prayer, and
with the coming promised light would
have cast off mortality, and like Christ af-
ter the crucifxion, would have enjoyed on
earth the spiritual life of the Saviour.

A Rare Old Bible.

There is an old Bible in the Congressional
Library, in the Capitol, which is we'll worth
an examination. It is of Italian origin, and
is supposed to have been written i'll the
thirteenth or fourteenth century, but the
actual date is unknown. 1t is written in
Latin, upon vellun, in clear, bold cherac-

FARM AND HOUSE.
Brief Notes and Hints.

Sawdust is worth very little for manure,
but it makes an excellent mulch to put
around trees, small fruits, and plants gen.
orally. The older the better, and that
twenty years old is certainly worth using in
liberal quantities..
DR.. McMurtrie thinks the best localities
for beet raising in the United States to be
New England, New York, Michigan, Wis
consin, Minnesota, Dakota, Washington
Territory, Oregon and California, one or
two countries in Pennsylvania, and Licking
County, Ohio.
For tapeworms in horses give one ounce
of areca nut or the same quantity of small
shield fern root, and follow with a smart
purge after few hours. The animal
should fast at least for twelve hours before
giving the medicine. Pomegranite root, or
even pumpkin seed, will sometimes work
equally as we'll.
The annual product of beet sugar IN
France amounts at present to about 420,-
600 TONS Of 2, 200 pounds to the ton, and of
the value of $55,00O,O0O. The laborers
employed in the beet sugar manufacture in
France, in 1875, numbered 81 ,023 men, g.
1857 women and 1892 children, which fig
ures do not include persons employed in
the cultivation of the root.
All the varieties of popcorn contain a
large amount of oil distributed in minute
cells, which are surrounded with starch
grains. Now, when these globules Of oil
their cells. and the grain is enlarged many
times, but not increased in weight. The
soft kinds Of Southern dent corn contain
very little oil; besides, the envelope of the
kernels is also soft and porous, and
for this reason it will not burst open
when subjected to heat like the pop corn or
other varieties of the Northern flint corn.
Trees should be generally set the same
depth that they previously stood in the
soil, allowing an inch or two more or less
for the newly stirred earth. On heavy soils
they will be more injured by being planted
too deep, than those of a light sandy, or
gravelly nature, and where greater depth is
needed to prevent the effects Of drought. On
lands inclining to be wet, setting trees up
on the surface, and raising the earth upon
the roots is a mode which has some advan-
tages, among which are the greater depth
Of soil thus made and the prevention of wa
ter settling among the roots.
We have heard much of storm centres of
late years, but now our farmers are talking
of grain centres" Like the population
centres, the grain centre is gradually NOV
ing westward. From statistics recently
taken it isascertained that the wheat centre:
which thirty years ago was IN eastern ONO
has moved westward and slightly northward
until at this time it is not far from Madison
Wis. This rapid movement in northerls
direction has resulted from the cultivation
of the land along the line of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, where the area in whea
alone, the present season, is nearly or quite
10, 600 900 acres, and the average yield pc
acre not far from 20 bushels, or a crop O.
200, 00O, 900 bushels for this region O.
country alone.

Sweet Pork.

Western pork is not New England pork,
but the favor of the Western article could
be much improved. 1t is beyond doubt
that cleanliness has much to do with that.
The filthy state in which many fattening
hogs are kept has a tendency not only to
give rank taste to the meat, bnt to render
it positively unwholesome. By many it is
claimed that pork is unfit for use, anyway,
but when properly cooked it seems to be in
dispensible, especially on the farm. A very
common mode of penning hogs at this sea-
son is a rail pen, without protection from
the weather. The consequence is thatsuch
pens are not fit to keep living animal in i;
wet, filthy, cold and uncomfortable hogs will
not take on fat, and a great proportion of the
food fed them is wasted, while the
hogs will consume a considerable amount
of filth which is detrimental to their health
and to the health Of those who consume the
meat

The Extinction Of the Eagles.

A correspondents of the Litchfeld
: Conn. Enquirer. writes as follows of
the practical extinction of the bald
headed eagle from the Connections hills:
:" A pair OF these birds have lived for
many years in, the vicinity of Bantam
Lake, and visitors there were often de-
lighted at the sight of them soaring high
in air. One very clear day last August
they came up to the village and re-
NAMED circling far above the flagstaff
and West Park for nearly an hour at
high noon: Groups collected on the
corners to'admire them, as their chang
ing positions brought the bright sum
light full upon their splendid white
neads and magnificent wings. 1t was
the first time several of our visitors had
seen an eagle. and it was afterward re-
marked by them, What a beautiful
2 sight those eagles were, above the vii
lage green In your last weeks pa
per. l read, with surprise and sorrow,
that they had been shot at Bantam
. Laken So the last pair of eagles dis
appear from old Litchfield, and the
species is now forever extinct here;
there will never be any more of them.
Their ace was no doubt very great.
The eagle. does not come to maturity
until FIVE years old, and lives a long
time. One died in Vienna after a cap
,tiyity of los years., Who can tell how
many scores of years this pair had kept
watch over Bantam Lake? i know not
who did it, but the shooting of them
was public calamity, and has forever
deprived our Village of a rare attrac-
tion."

however, are to be. without kitchens,

in. In the center of the grounds is. to
be spacious dining hall, andthe kitch-
en- of the community will be there.
The table win be arranged for family
groups or for more miscellaneous COM
pany, as may be desired. Those who
wish entire privacy may have separate
rooms. One of the anuoyances of
modern !. housekeeping will be thus
avoided There is also a talk of hay
ing general bedmakers and houseclean-
srs; but private nurserymaids are re-
garded as absolutely necessary, and
