Pastimes for the Cultured Rich.

ONE of the elegant pastimes now of
gentlemen and ladies of culture is to
privately Illustrate with choice engrav-
ings fine books. The amount of money
spent in this way is enormous, but it
usually goes in qualification o: hobby.
Mr.. Robert Hoe, Jr.. has very note
worthy collection of privately illustrated
works, numbering over one thousand
volumes. He has a quantity of books
so elegantly bound that the binding
alone cost from twenty-five dollars TO
three hundred dollars volume. The
text of his most expensive volumes is
printed on heavy India paper with
broad margin, with rough edges except
on top. where the leaves are gilt-edged,
10 keep Off the dust. To privately Illus
traie a book a collection of engravings
is ut first necessary. They must be of
wide range of subjects, including his
torical scenes. pictures of landscapes,
interiors, famous buildings, and por-
traits of famous men and women. The
illustrator carefully studies the work he
designs to illustrate, keeping in his
mind the pictures he has. Where they
serve he places them. Where the text
admits of an illustration he does not
possess he must hunt the print stores
over for one, and not rest until he finds
it. Assists proofs are usually sought
for. and as the work of private iliustra-
ton is usually carried on regardless of
expense. their increased cost is not a
consideration. If an engraving IS too
small, it is inlaid in thick paper by a
neat process in which the edges OF the
picture and of the paper are beveled
that they may be glued so as to be al
most invisible. Mr.. Hoe has a set of
"Allison's History of Europe" illus
trated by himself with over thirteen

HOME, FARM AND GARDEN.

CHARCOAL for turkeys is highly recon-
mended as fattening food.
KEEP all the seeds saved in dark
place. Many kinds are injured by
dampuess.
Do NOT undertake to keep sheep on
low, undrained lands They will surely
contract disease, and sick sheep is
about as mean thing as one can own,
not excepting sick chicken.
LEMON CREAM.-Take pint of thick
cream, add TO it the yelks of two eggs
the thin rind of lemon; boil il up. then
stir until nearly cold. Add lemon juice,
and turn into mold.
The value of a warm meal for hens
cannot be Overestimated. The cost
need be little or nothing. Vegetable
parings and kitchen refuse of all kinds
boiled soft and thickened with bran is
all that is necessary. Do not give more
at a time than they will eat clean. Try
it. and see if you do not get more eggs.
TOILET TALLow-Takea quarter of
pound of fresh mutton suet. melt it
slowly, taking care that it does not
scoro!l. Put in your glass box or cup
four or five drops of sweet oil, and, if
you please, add few drops of some
liquid scent; then pour in the box the
hot tallow and set it in cool place to
harden. For sumner use the oil is not
needed, as it will be soft enough with
out it. Keep it in glass. 1t is an ex-
cellent remedy for parched and chapped
lips, hand and abrasions.
THERE is a good deal of complaint.
in many parts of the country. of the in
jury done to stock by barbed wire fences.
The chief objection is that horses and
cattle, not being able to see them east
ly. run against them and receive severe
injury. One remedy for this is TO fast
en- common laths TO the top wire. An
other is to tie lsths perpendicularly-
say six to each space between posts to
the wires. A third is to suspend six
inch board from the top wire. A cor
respondent of the Country Gentleman
suggests suspendine any old brush that
can be had to the wires. This would
be less slightly than the Others, but
quite as effective and more economical.

hundred engravings. all of which are

exquisite tooling that feast the eye.
There are artists in binding as well as
in engraving, and the work of the
former, as well as of the latter, is
sought for by book-hunters. There is
much rivalry among certain wealthy
gentlemen up town in securing and
illustrating books. 1t is deemed great
favor to be admitted to view their pos
sessions. Mr.. Hoes books are valued
at nearly $500, 000.-M y Cor. ST.

How Long Man May Live.

IT was Prof. Hufeland's opinion that
the limit of possible human life might
be set at POO years. This on the gem
eral principle that the life of creature
is eight times the years Of its period of
growth That which is quickly formed
quickly perisbes, and the earlier COM
plete development is reached the soon
err bodily decay ensues. More women
reach old age than men, but more men
attain remarkable longevity than wom-
en-. Some animals grow to be very old.
Horned animals live shorter lives than
those without horns. fierce longer than
timid. and amphibious longer than those
which inhabit the air. The voracious
pike exists, it is said. TO an age of $50
years; the turtle is good for hundred
years or more; and among birds the
golden eagle is known TO have lived
nearly 200 years, while the sly and
somber crow reaches the venerable age
of century. Passing up in the scale
of life to man, and skipping the patri-
archs. we find many recorded instances
of longevity among the classic Greeks
and Romans. Pliny notes that in the
reign of the Emperor Vespasian. in the
year rs. there were 124 men living in
the limited area between the Apennlnes
and the Pc of 100 years and upward,
three of whom were l4G and four over
1875. Cicero's wife lived TO the age of
1903, and the Roman actress Luceja
played in public as late as her 1l2th
year.
Coming down 10 more recent times
the most notable authentic instance of
great age is that of Henry Jenkins, of
Yorkshire. Eng, who died in 1870, 1863
years old. He was fisherman. and at
the age OF 100 easily swan across rapid
rivers. Another historic case is that of
Thomas Parr. of Shropshire. a day-la-
borer, who lived to the age of 1852 years.
When more than l20 he married his sec
ond wife, and till $50 he could swing
the scyihe and WELD the fail with the
best of his fellow laborers. In his 152d
year Parr went up to London TO exhibit
himself TO the King. 1t proved an I'M
lucky visit, for violating the abstemi-
Gus habit of a century and half the
old man Toasted so freely on the royal
victuals that he soon died merely of a
plethora. On examination his internal
organs proved to be in excellent condi-
ton, and there was no reason why he
should not have lived much longer save
for this unfortunate taste of roy al hos
pitality Prof Hufeland's roll of CEN
tenarians includes many more remarka-
BILE cases. among them that of Mittle-
stedt, n Prussian soldier. who served 60
years under both Frcdericks, fighting
many battles and enduring much hard
campaigning, and who after all this
married successfully three wives. the
last when he was 10, only two years be-
fore his death. Springfield Republican.
