A Hard Worked Prince.
Letter from London.

Well, to the London season we may now
say au revoir. The Prince of Wales gave
it the coup de grace yesterday and finished
1t by hurrying to Chichester to opou the
Goodwood races. Alas, poor prince! He
is as hard worked as an actor of all work at
Barnum's museum, who, as Artemus Ward
used to say, took his diuner pcil after break
fast and was in for good fourteen hours of
dramatic job-work. From morn to dewy
eve the illustrious first gentleman" has beer
laboring to meet his engagements in the
world of fashion and of famine, of eociality
and Of charity. Do you suppose lusty
young man of thirty eight visits hospitals
and gees to funerals because he likes such
ceremonies? Not he, I warrant you. It is
part of the duty of royalty to act as figure
head on occasions of public importance, and
with an admirably good grace the present
Prince of Wales assumes these tasks, aided
by his gentle wife. OF late their three little
daughters have been going about with their
parents, and this element of royal iuvenility
is immensely appreciated. The little girls
are the most soft-mannered, unaffected
creatures possible, and being now at the
bright period of life, it's rosy aurora. the
children no doubt really do. as they seem to
do, enjoy the novelty of visit to hospitals,
where the poor, suffering patients act to-
ward them as the martyrs Of old may have
done when the angels appeared to them in
dreary prison cells.

Filth In Making Pork

The Rev. John F, Clyman, Auburn, N.
y, says, in letter to Food and. Health,
that while he thinks the flesh of well bred
and weu-fed swine may be wholesome for
moderate winter use, he objects to average
pork for the following reasons:
The pig, more than any other domestic
animal, is subject to unnatural conditions
in breeding and feeding. If pigs were
allowed to roam in open field, breathing
pure air and eating clean and wholesome
food, instead Of being confined in close,
illy-ventilated sty, and compelled to root
for large part Of their food in the muck
Of the barnyard or dungheap, then the flesh
OF such pigs would be good human food.
II, instead of wallowing in stagnant pools
of mud and mire, they had access to run.
ming stream of pure water, they would
soon prefer the water to the mire, and thus
Keep themselves clean, preventing the for
nation of scrofulous tissue in their flesh.
The method of feeding pigs in some Of our
Western pork establishments is simply
horrible. The pigs are placed in pens, ar
ranged in parallel rows or tiers. The
animals in the first row, being in poor con
oiton; arefed with good grain; the food
Of the pigs in the second row is made up
OF q mixture Of the excrements from the
first row and corn this mixture Of corn and
excrements goes on in regular order until
the last is reached, where the excrements
dominate the corn. The process, on a
smaller scale, is the popular method of
feeding the hog with most farmers. How
is it possible for such feeding to make
ht alth.. flesh for human food?"

Liberal Feeding for MIR

The agricultural editor OF The Name
Forme, reports the following instances of
liberal feeding for milk. The supply of
cotton-seed was heavy, but free milker--
yielding from thirty or forty pounds Of
milk per day-wi!l dispose, with good rel
ish and good effect, Of q quantity Of food
shat would cloy dry animal or a smaller
mixer. It is q common error in feeding
for profitable milk production that the
large mixers DO not get enough. Their
rations are too often gauged by the inferior
members Of the herd which can only use a
limited amount of extra feed. The greater
profit comes from liberal feed for liberal
mixers:
We continue to feed the cotton seed
meal at the rate Of from two to three quarts
yer day the litter quantity FOR the last few
weeks), from the first Of November to the
first Of May, six months, and during that
time she gave 710 gallons Of milk, which at
twenty cents per gallon, the price at which
it was sold, amounted to- $l42, and her
keeping for the time at % cents per day
amounted in round numbers to 342, 2,leaY ing.

Smaller Farms in the South.

From the Baltimore Sun, July 3Oth
The process of subiividlng the larger
plantations into smaller farms is going on
steadily in the south, even in the states
where the old system had taken deepest
hold. The hard working farmer, who fol-
lows the plow himself, is gradually crowd
ing out the luxurious planter, who, in the
ante bellup days scarcely took the trouble
to direct the operations of his labolers. In
Mississippi, for instance, there were 49,
$40 plantations in 1860, and the average
number of acres in each was $40. Ten
years later there were 69.023 farms, the
average area of each being 1913 acres. In
1880 the number of farms was u, ,205, aver
aging 1876 acres each. While the aroa of
cultivated land is less than it was in 1880,
yet the production of cotton is nearly twice
as great. The census of 1880 will doubt
less show still greater change in the do
mestic economy of the south, as indicated
by large number of landowners and a vast
increase in agricultural products.

Guiteau a Cheerful Sort Of an idiot.

From the Washington Republican.
The attendants of the jail represent
Guiteau Us being one of the mostinoffensiye
of prisoners. What he knows is wanted of
him he complies with cheerfully, never
containing. He sleeps well and does not
appear at all stricken with remorse. ALI
his wants are attended to in his cell and he
is allowed to talk with no one. His hair is
cut and beard trimmed by an attendant Of
the institution He does not show any
great interesti in his food, and the only point
that he makes in regard to his proyender
is that he shall not be served with fat meat.
Pieces Of lean meat are parceled ont to him
and he seems perfectly cDntented with his
meat and his bread and his coffee, the.
regular prison fare. -

Tea Drinking.

No article on tea could omit mention of
DIR. johnson and his great partiality for
that beverage. In his review of Hanway's
Tea and its Pernicious Consequences"
he procla;ms himself as "a hardened and
shameless tea drinker, who has for many
years diluted his meals with only the in
fusion of this fascinating plant; whose ket-
tie has scarcely time to cool;. who, with tea
amuses the evening, with tea solaces the
midnights, and with tea welcomes the
morning." ~.-
"Bozzy" says that he supposes no one
ever enjoyed with more relish the fragrant
leaf than Johnson The quantities he
drank of it at all hours were SO great that
his nerves must have been uncommonly
strong not to have been relaxed by such an
Incorporate use of it.
II is related of him, but not by Boswell,
that while on his Scotch tour the Dowager
Lady Macleod, having repeatedly helped
him until she had poured out sixteen cups,
then asked him if a small basin would not
be more agreeable and save him trouble. II
wonder madame" he answered, Roughly,
why all the ladies should ask me such ques-
tions. 1t is to save themselves trouble,
madame, and not me-"
On another occasion he said: "What a
delightful beverage that must be that pleases
all palates at a time when they can take
nothing else-at breakfast" Croke men
tions that the doctors teapot held two
quarts.
Five o'clock tea is by no means modern
invention. It is of Swiss origins and is
mentioned in the "Almanach des Gour-
mands." About o'clock in the evening
the lady of the house makes, in the middle
Of the drawing room, some very strong tea,
softened by few drops of very rich cream;
slices of bread and butter are served with
it. Such is the Swiss tea in all its simplic-
ity; ;but in rich houses there are added cakes,
preserved fruits, and even ices. It is
served every day, and it is the only meal to
which strangers are invited.

Scientific Scentilations.

Celluloid is much better adapted fol
stereotyping than electrotype.
There is greater proportion Of red and
yellow rays and less of blue and violet in
ordinary daylight than in the direct light
of the sun.
It is not safe to use zinc or galvanized
iron articles in which to preserve fruit, as
the zinc yields readily to fruit acids.
It is difficult for yellow brass articles to
retain the color, but thin varnish of
shellac or coat of callodion will preserve
the color. without giving the appearance of
being vanished. @
Artificial stone bricks, composed Of sand
and lime hardened by hydraulic pressure.
are very durable and almost as good as the
genuine clay brick.
No regular hard porcelain is made in
England. At Chelsea, very beautiful ware
is made of soft porcelain produced from
kaolin. phosphate of lime and calcined

Opposites in Matrimeny.

Theodore Parker wrote: Young people
marry their .opposiies in temperament and
general character, and such marriages are
generally good ones. They do it instinct
lively. The young man does not say, aMy
black eyes require to be wed with blue, and
my over yehemence requires to be little
modified with somewhat dullness and re-
serve" When these opposites come to-
gether to be we'd they do not know it, but
each thinks the other just like himself.
Old people never marry their opposites;
they marry their similars, and from calcu-
lation. Each Of these two arrangements is
very proper. In their long journey these
opposites will fall out by the way a great.
again, and by and by they will be agreed as
to the place they will go to, and the road
they will go by, and both become recon-
ciled. The man will be nobler and
larger for being associated with so much
humanity unlike himself, and she will
be- nobler woman for having manhood
beside her that seeks to correct her def
clences and supply her with what she lacks,
if the diversity be not too great, and if
there be real generosity and love in their
hearts to begin with. The old bridegroom
having much shorter journey to make,
must associate himself with one like him
self. A perfect and complete marriage is,
perhaps, as rare as perfect personal beau
ty. Men and women are married fraction
ally; now small fraction then a larger
fraction. Very few are married totally. and
then only, think, after some forty or fifty
years OF gradual approach and experiment.
Such large and sweet fruit is complete
marriage that it needs very long summer
to rlpen in, and then a long winter to mel

assassin Booth, and upon which he died.

one from six to eight inches in length and
several inches wide. It shows also- very
plainly blood prints made by the fingers Of
human hand. 1t has several times been
carefully washed without diminishing the

this has been accepted by some as con-

The Rothschild Family Of ,,illionaires

The Rothschilds have been attracting no
little attention to themselves in Paris by
the announcement Of the extension of the
act of partnership, which expired Septem-
Der 3Oth, of this year, to 1905. The Paris
branch OF the family is quite large. The
dowager Baroness Rothschild, who lives in
the family mansion in the Rus Latte, had
i've chlldren-Baroness Alphonse, who Is
OF this date at the head Of the family: Bar
on Solomon, who died long time ago;
Baron Gustave. Baron Edmond, and the
Baroness Nathaniel Rothschild. The ven
cradle dowager is q veritible fountain of
charity. She gives away hundreds of
thousands of francs every year. In the
summer she lives in a splendid house at
Bolougne, where apartments. of each of her
sons and daughters are kept constantly in
order. Baron and Baroness Alphonse
Rothschild live in the old mansion IN the
Rue st. Flurentine. where Talleyrand once
resided. They are gay, and extremely
fond of society, and are seen everywhere
in the monde. The baroness is one of the
most accomplished equestrienes who fre-
quent the Bois de Bologne. Her husband
is an enthusiastic. patron of the turf. he
has his stables at Meantrif and Chantilly.
and lavishes millions on them. Solomon
Rothschild was delicate minded man,
fond of conversation, books, pic
lures, and society. His widow has q
daughter who will, It is said, be the richest
heiress in the Paris family. Baron Gustave
is the only one who has married outside
the family. One Of the sons Of the lato
Nathaniel Rothschlld has Just purchased
Che splendid mansion OF Count Toistol, in
the Avenue de Fnedland, and another
named Arthur spends his life in collecting
books. It is said that no one else in France
except the Duke Of Aumale possesses such
lnestlmable treasures of rare editions and
luxurious binding as the young Rothschild.
One OF the latest additions to the delegates
to Paris Of this phenomenally rich family
is Baron Adolphe Rothschild Of Naples,
who has closed out his business and retired
with tie serenity Of conscience promoted
by the knowledge Of the possession. Of q
