Serfentlne Lying.

Near Whitehall resides family with
little two-year- old. and they also have
a box OF rattles makes, docile and tame.
The chubby hands of the two-year.old
daily drop morsels of food in the box.
and the reptiles are so accustomed to
her visits that they will raise upon
their tails when they hear her approach
ing steps. The child's mother, during
the hot days. has the cradle brought
out, and the little ono takes its after
noon nap within few feet of the box;
and as tho mother sings sweet lullaby
the snakes always join in the chorus,
and the weird and musical rattle re-
sembles the soft monotony of the snare
drum. She also fans its face with
palm-leaf, which she keeps close by.
One Sunday afternoon the child had be-
come tired of feeding the snakes, and
the mother did not see the little one as
it quietly moved away the cover. The
child became sleepy and crawled into
the cradle. the mother was engaged
in homework and paid little attention
to wee Katie. till she WAS attracted by
the rafting of the snakes. She walked
to the door in great al rm.
The child was in the cradle, and ut
each rocker was a snake, rocking it
gently with their tails, while four large
specimens STOOD near by, producing
the music which IVES so soothing to the
child's ears.
But the most remarkable was large
rattlesnake, perched upon II hi. a-chsir
at the child's head, with its tail coiled
about the handle of the palm leaf fan,
gently swaying it backwards AID for
wards over its face.
The mother moved toward the cradle
when the music ceased, the fan was
gently laid npon the cradle, the four
snakes uncoiled their tails from the
rockers, and in about thirty seconds the
whole tribe was in the box again, return
ing voluntarily. They beheld the
child's mother, and knowing that their
services were no longer required, they
relinquished their precious charge to
its mothers keeping. For further par

TURKEY STUFFING.-Many great
cooks make extra trouble in preparing
a forced-meat stufing of veal, ham,
bacon, onions, potatoes or bread
crumbs and all sorts of things. But
the ordinary, fashioned stuffing for
q turkey. is generally liked the best.
Take the soft part Of good light bread
lnot the CRUST, and do not wet it as
usually done, but rub it dry and fne
and work into it a piece of butter tho
size OF an egg. Season with salt, pepper
and summer savory. Add to this a
dozen or more oysters, whole; and it
will be very fine. Some good cooks
who are ruled by taste, and not by
books, add to stuffing like the above
large chestnuts boiled. The chestnuts
are put on a FIRE in a saucepan or
spider to burst the skins; they are then
boiled into very salt water or stock,
then mixed with stufling whole. Serve
with chestnut sauce.

feet in breadth. the center house being
still wider. There are separate rooms

azaleas. In this crystal Enclosure there
are already about four hundred varie.
ties of tea.roses, several hundreds Of
hybrids, and large number of climb
ing roses. Palms and rare tropical
plants, and bewildering variety oil
cypropedrums. epidendrums cat
tleyas meet the eye. 1t takes five large
furnaces and two hundred and fifty
tons of coal every season to create the
tropical temperature for the flowers
and grapes, and sixteen men are con.
stantly employed.

"a Prudent Wife IS Of the Lord"
Marriage implies the spiritual incom-
pleteness of the sexes. II is not good
that the man or woman should be alone.
The best earthly life mites two loving
souls in such way that the man grad
ually gains in gentleuess, purity and
unselfshness, while the woman grows
in wisdom, power. and intellectual
breadth. The divine underlying thought
of marriage is the interdependence Of
the sexes. In the best welded lives
there is q growing likeness between
husband anl wife until. in time, even
the countenances show marked re-
semblance. This assimilation of nature
is rarely perfect at the start. If mar
ried life begins whom one OF the parties
thereto is fully confirmed in habit and
conviction there is often u long strug-
gle between the inharmonious elements
in the household. Domestic trouble is
as old as history. 1t began with sin in
the garden when the first pair tempted
and then ecolded each other, and it has
been woven into tho texture Of
oil tragedy and comedy and fiction
down to the present. It is the secret
of many broken life to-day. 1 some
times get glimpses of what per
dition must be when the door hiding
the interior of certain households is
thrown open. Jealousy, abuse and
cruelty let loose in the home strike out
the sparks of hell Rsv. DIR. Barrows.

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THOMAS W. KEENE.

THOMAS W. KEENE.
Mr. Keene has many warm admirers at the
South and West, as can be seen by the notices
he has received from the press of those sec
tions of the country. The Washington Re-
publican says:-"If Tom Keene is not great
tragedian America never produced one. Com
paratively, his Richard Ill produces a surprise
like that of one who, wandering through gal
lery of faded Autographs and tedious medioc-
rity, suddenly comes upon an old master, glow
ing with immortal color and breathing in every
stroke of the brush of divine genius. The inn
personation has certainly never been e9ualled
IN Washington within the memory at least OF
our middle-aged play-goers. We are ready to
accept the praises SO literally bestowed during
the past year by the Western press upon Mr..
Keene, and to re-echo it.
MAYNARD's CONCERT.
Prof. Maynard, the blind pianist will give
grand vocal and instrumental concert at Con-
gress Hall tonight Prof. Maynard is said, by
those who have been SO fortunate as to hear
him, to- be an admirable performer, and his
limitations are called wonderful. He will be
assisted by Prof. Hill, the favorite violin vir-
tuoso, and Miss Jessie Fillebrown, of Boston,
who is said to be talented reader. There
should be large audience present.
WEBER CONCERT.
On account of the storm the concert at the
St. Lawrence street church by the Weber Club,
which was to have taken place last evening,
was postponed to Friday evening. Let them
have full house.
PORTLAND MINSTRELS.
A splendid evenings entertainment has been
cut out by the Portland Minstrels, who will ap-
pear at Grand Army Hall Jan. 18th. The pro-
gramme will embrace song and dance. aero
batic acts and many other features of great ill.,
terest.
NOTES.
The Wilbur Opera Company, which will ap-
pear in Portland soon, gave very pleasing
performance of the Mascotte in Boston Monday
night.
Rice's consolidated Surprise Party and Opera
Troupe are booked for performance soon at

n,nr State Fisharias.

Tho report of Henry o. Stanley. Esq, of the
Department of Fish and Game, for the past
year, has been presented to the Governor and
Council The report states that the very
stringent game laws in the Dominion OF Cana
ds, have caused much larger number to
frequent the woods and streams of this State,
and recommends stricter laws on the part OF
our legislature, and adequate compensation to
the Commissioners and the Wardens, to insure
their enforcement.
Another point to which close attention is
called is the practice of the visiting sportsmen
who carry out of the State vast quantities Of
fish and game without any pecuniary adj
vantage to the State, whereas, were the laws
different, great advantage would accrue to
the inhabitants of the State, by legislation
preventing the expectation of game from our
own borders.
1t is suggested that a bounty of % cents per
head be placed upon the destruction OF hawks
and owls, as the money value OF the poultry
killed by these birds will far exceed that of all
sheep killed by bears and dogs, to say nothing
of the havoc made upon wild ducks, cartridges
and insectivorous birds. It is recommended
that imprisonment be added to the pres emit
penalty for netting wild ducks or fresh water
fish.
Over half million salmon'fry were dis
tributed in the different waters of the State.
Salmon have been distributed by the U. s.
Commissioner all over the world, and colo ny
of Penobscot salmon are now swimming IN
Australian waters.
Landlocked salmon have been placed in Cold
Stream Pond at Enfield, in Maranocook at
Readfeld, Wilson's Pond in Auburn and the
Rangeley Lakes. The culture of this variety
has proved great success They are begin
ming to be taken in various places, and 1t is
requested that any taken be returned, as. by
this means, in few years we may expect to
see good salmon fishing on our inland waters
Two millions of young shad were received
last June and divided between the Penobscot
and KenEebec rivers.
Black bass is very popular and more applica-
tions for its introduction have been received
than can be gratified. This fish should never
be placed in trout ponds, or where it can gain
entrance to trout ponds or streams For ponds
where trout are not, or have been cleaned out
by poachers, the black bass is Invaluable
Ponds in Minot, Wiscasset, Harpswell, Rock
port, Corintb, ETC., have been stocked with
bass the past year.
The alewife fisheries have proved very sue
cessful and remunerative
One million whitefish eggs were received
from Michigan, in Fryeburg On account OF
the long distance of transportation and the
tenderness of the eggs, only about % per cent
Matched. Part were put into Rangeley and the
rest into Interchangeable Lake. This is an
excellent fish.
Plans have been furnished for fshways at
the lower dam in Alma, at the place known as
'head of the tide;" for the lower dam on
Little River in Perry and for new dam now
building across the ST. Croix at Calais.
