THE KING AND QUEEN OF ITALY.
About their Royal High
messeh.

The long road that leads from the
Piazza del Quirinale is all upset and
hundreds Of workingmen are laying the
pipes for larger quantity of water. The
royal guest OF the Quirinal Palace seems
to be glad of this change i'll the street
because orders have been given to raise
the new level of the street to such
height as to completely hide the base
ment windows. Why? They seem to be
afraid of dynamite. few months ago
the windows had been supplied with
sort of thick iron shutter with holes so
small as to give hardly sufficient passage
to the air.
During the absence of King Hubert
and Queen Margaret several improve
ments have been made i'll the palace itself.
The apartment of the King has under
gone complete alteration. Indeed, 1t
was Ill need OF 1t, because when coming
from the dining room the King had no
possible access to his own apartment
other than through the ante chamber,
generally crowded with the ladies' and
gentlemen who were waiting for an au-
dience. The servants would kindly di-
rect his Majesty to so back to mis- rooms
by the service stairs when the hall was
full and when Humbert did not wish to
be seen by people i'll the ante-chamber.
Even Kings are Obliged sometimes to
obey the directions OF their own servants.
The King is good sort of fellow,
not such sportsman as his father, but IL
good hunter anyhow, and crack marks
man. His fayorite morsel is boiled
chicken or piece OF veal. The son OF
Victor Emanuel has bad teeth, and likes
food overlooked. He is very fond OF a
quiet life retires early when he can to
his own apartments, and rises very
early, generally before q takes cup OF
coffee and rides for IN hour and half on
horseback III the mdnegc OF his own pal
ace; very seldom goes out for an early
ride, at least now
He receives people of every description
and with great aiiability. A few days
ago two workingmen from Leghorn came
to Rome to present n crown of flowers
for Victor Emanuel's grave. The King
spent some time with them, and was so
kind that the poor fellows were delighted.
When driving his own horses through
the new quarters of Rome, where many
new buildings are i'll progress, it is no.
ticed that King Humbert is always ready
to answer the saluting workingmen who
bow at him from the high scaffolding
and sometimes he is the first to call their
attention by taking off his hat. Since
Passanante's attempt, a mass is celebrated
on Sunday by the Royal Chaplain, AMI
not. in thelQuirinal. The King regularly
attends this mass after the meetings of
the ministers, which begins at 10 A. NJ.
Sometimes the meeting is not over until
half past /. The priest is obliged to
wait, and Mgr Amino some Sundays is
obliged to say his mass at 2, or later.
The Queen is patiently waiting, and
does not allow any one to have breakfast
until the mass is over. 1t takes Mgr.
Azino about seventeen minutes to go
through mass, which is served by the
sexton of the Piedmontese Church of the
Sudario, near st. Andrea della Vale,
Mgr. Amino being at the time rector OF

not consent to any compromise, and leav-

Iurnips are represented us forming the
foundation oi agriculture and stock
raising in Great Britain. They have II
regular place in the rotation of crops,
aud are regarded MS essential to keeping
the soil fertile and tree from weeds. They
hold the place that corn does in this coun-
try in fattening ali kinds of stock, A
distinguished British farmer now in this
country states that stock raising in Ameri-
ca differs from that in Great Britain only
IN the circumstance that corn is here sub
stitutcd for turnips. That we must soon
tud some substitute for corn for feeding
to stock in most parts of this country ap-
pears certain. The crops in the most
favored parts of the country have recent
y been very small, and the quantity
raised has not been sufficient for supply
ing other demands than that of feeding
stock Except in II few oi the most cen
trail ol the Western States corn is too eX-
pcnsiye to feed tn other animals than
hogs with view Of preparing them for
the butcher. In the great stock raising
regions that are being developed i'll the
extreme south, north, and west 1t is i'm
possible to raise large crops of corn.
Cattle and sheep will make good growth
ON grass alone, but to fatten them pro
perry they require other kinds OF food,
There is rarely any profit i'll converting
smal! grains into beef, pork, and mutton,
and there is demand for some crops like
turnips that can he fed with oil cake or
other rich food. The. plan which is gen
orally followed in the British islands and
the Scandinavian countries of feeding
some root crop in connection with n small
amount of meal or oil cake is an excellent
one, and it should be introduced into
many parts of this country 1t would
result in giving us better meat Mt re-

tt.ltltll.rl RAJ.
Aged Fowls Valuable,

1t is the rule Of many poultry keepers
to kill OIL on otherwise dispose of all their
old stock, and depend entirely ON pullrts
Tor the subsequent season eggs, Wheth-
cr this is good policy or not in all cases,
they probably cannot say, for they have
never given the matter thorough trial
Many are governed by mere habit in this
respect, while others are led more by what
they hear than by what they see. This
may do for some breeds, especially for
the majority of the Asiatcs, ms in the
second year they are apt to be more
broody than i'll the first and every one
who has had any experience with them
knows how trying All old hen can he,
especially when eggs are fifty cents per
dozen. The rule also holds good with
farmers, | think.
There are, however, many breeds that
do not arrive ut the fitness OF perfection
III cgg-production until their second Sum
mer. This is particularly true of the
Leghorns and Spanish. The number of
eggs is greatly increased ms well as the
size and quality, i'll the second year
Pnllets may be and are better for autumn
and early winter eggs, while the older
ones will begin To lay i'll January and
February Just when the price is at its
height, There is IL vast difference in
fowls OF the same breed, Many are bare
ly worth their keeping the first year, bnt
yield n full quota Of eggs of good size in
the second. 1t is unjust to condemn II
pullet MS unworthy and send her to the
block, because she gave few eggs her first
season. Many of the earliest layers are,
after all, of the least profit. Their bodies
are small, from the fact that they com
menced egg production before fully ma
tured, From this same cause, also, their
eggs are small and inferior in quality.

MEMENTOES OF MELVILLE.
How His Wife Preserved Relics of His
Last Meal at Home.
PHILADELPHIA Record.

Lieutenant Danenhower, the res
Gently arrived Jeanette survivor,
will to-day Or tomorrow visit the
wife of Engineer Melville, who lives
at Sharon Hill. Mrs. Melville has
preserved number of mementoes of
ner husbands last hours at home
previous to his departure on that
terrible Arctic voyage from which it
was doubtful if he would ever re-
turn. "Here," said the fond wife,
holding in her hands linen napkin
folded and held by silver ring, at
which she gazed long and pensively,
sis his napkin, just as he left it after
the last meal at which any of us have
ever seen him The last thing he
did before leaving the table was to
fold the napkin, and, laying it down
by his plate, he said: Perhaps I
will never fold another at home.
Then he got up, babe US all follow
him, and went down to the little de-
pot you see out there, said good
bye, and we have never seen him
since Elsie, here, who is growing
to be quite big girl, was then not
as large as Meta, there, who was but
a baby, I tell you, when George gets
back / am afraid that he won't be
able to recognize us all. 1 expect
that Lieutenant Danenhower has
some papers for me, although
as yet he has not notified us.
He can, anyhow, tell us all about
George
A little rubber band which YVES hang
ing on the clock in the dining room at
this moment caught Mrs. Melvilles
eye, and she stopped abruptly to
point it out as another memento. It
was placed there by her husband the
last evening he spent at home, and
cap which he had hung upon pic
ture frame the afternoon before his
departure, remains exactly where he
left it. Although anxious to see her
husband, Mrs. Melville says that she
can afford to wait until he either
finds Lieutenant Chipp and his crew,
and restores them in good health to
their families, or discovers that they
have been lost. s. 1t is his duty
said she, land George always does
that"

Force Exerted In Piano Playing.

The celebrated pianist, Gottschalk. was
highly amused on finding his performaees
studied very closely by scientist who
had published q treatise ON the num-
Der of muscular efforts that may be made
III a given time, for this learned
savant found that in one brilliant piece
Gottschalk exceeded'great1y the estimate
he had made after careful consideration.
The number of consecutive percussions
given out were found to be quite aston
ishing. Although Gottschalk pretended
to be grately entertained by his critics
and their widely differing points of view,
yet he must have already known that his
physical strength was great. Although
to all appearance delicatey constituted,
he wrestIed with the muscular giants
who were engaged in moving his heavy
concert pianos, and with success that
astonished them SO greatly as to make it
subject OF conversation to the present
day.
When Bulow was on his concert tour
through Germany and Austria he met
Rubenstein at Vienna They were both
playing on the Bozendorfer pianofortes,
but Bulow would not play on Ruben
STEMS instrument He would have an
other one provided for his use. Prof.
Schmidt, of that city, being curious to
learn the real reason Of this determine
ton, examined the ''touch of each in
strument, respecting the depth the key
sank and the weight required to depress
them to the lowest point The piano
forte that Rubenstein played required
an average weight of eighty EIGHT grams
Zone gram being equal to fifteen and
half grains), while Bulow's required an
average of los grams. Therefore the
keys of the Rubenstein pianoforte were
easier to put in action than those of Bu-
lows pianoforte bnt ON the other hand
the keys sank fully twenty-five per
cent. deeper than Bulow's, so that the
demands on the physical powers of the
had played on Rubenstein's instrument
he would have found his hands sinking
too deep, for they are small To play
on an instrument with deep touch one
must have long fingers.
Prof. Schmidt counted the number of
notes played by Rubinstein at one of his
concerts and found them to be 60. 900 in
number, and therefore equal to pres
sure OF $685. pounds in weight. On the
Bulow instrument they would be equal
to pressure of 1,190 SO pounds.
When it is considered that something
more than pressure is needed in bril-
liant fortissimo, and on large instru-
ment in large hall, and that high de-
gree of velocity must be given to the
hammer and not the mere motion due to
some weight, some estimate of the ex-
penditure of force necessary to deliver
such persuasive accents from the fingers,
may be made Home Journal.

| To MEASURE Corn IN THE CRIB
This rule will apply to crib of any size
or kind. Two cubic feet of good, sound,
dry corn in the ear will make a bushel
of shelled corn. To get, then, the
quantity of shelled corn in a crib of corn
in the ear, measure the length, breadth
and height of the crib, inside of the rail;
multiply the length 10y the breadth, and
the product by the height; then divide
the product by two, and you have the
number of bushels of shelled corn. Te
find the number OF bushels of apples
potatoes, etc., in a bin, multiply the
length, breadth and thickness together
and this product by eight. and point of
one figure in the product for decimals.
How TO brush velvet is thing, cas-,
as it seems, not known to everybody
The whole secret lies In the manage
ment of the brush. Take hat brusl
that is not too soft, hut has the bristle
elastic, and that will return at once t,
their original state after being pressed
aside. Hold this firmly under the pain
of the hand, in the direction of the arm
and with the bristles downward; an
pressing them, first, gently into tn
substance of the velvet, then twis
around the arm, hand and brush, all to
gether as on axis, without moving ther
forward or backward. The foreign maj
ter will thus be drawn up, and firte
out of the flock, without injury to tn
substance of the velvet and the brus
must be lifted up and placed in simila
manner over every part required to
brushed. By this means velvet will
improved, instead of deteriorated, an
will last for years.
