Waiting for Her Lover sixty
Years.

number of years ago some miners in
Wales, in exploring an old pit that had long
been closed, found the body of young man
dressed in a fashion long out of date. The
peculiar action Of the air of the mine was
such as preserved the body so perfectly that
it appeared asleep rather than dead. The
miners were puzzled at the circumstance.
No one in the district had been missed within
their remembrance. and at last it was re-
solved to bring in the Oldest inhsbitant-sn
old lady long past her SOth year, who had
lived single in the village the whole of her
life. On being taken into the presence of
the body a very strange scene occurred. The
old lady fell on the corpse and kissed it and
addressed it by every term of endearment
spoken in bygone generation. He was her
only love, and she had waited for him during
her long life. She knew he had not forsaken
her. The old lady and young man had been
betrothed 60 years before. The lover had
disappeared mysteriously, and she had kept
her faith during the long interval. The
miners removed the old lady to her house,
and that night her faithful spirit rejoined that

The British Soldier.

The British soldier always presents the ap-
pearance of scrupulous cleanliness. He is
secured, brushed and scrubbed beyond re-
proach, His hair is enriched with pomatum
and his shoes are radiantly polished. His lit
tie cap is worn in manner determined BY
considerations purely esthetic. He carries a
little cane in one hand and pair of white
gloves in the other. He holds up his head
and expands his chest portentously and bears
himself generally like person who has rea-
son to invite rather than to evade the fierce
light of modern criticism. He is the darling
of the appreciating housemaids of the West
End, and on this ground considerable illfeel-
ing exists between him and his rival. ''the
bobby" or policeman, Susan sometimes IA
voring the one, sometimes the other, and
sometime-horribie dictut-both.
On the other hand, when on parade, the
extreme perfection of his appointments makes
him look very well; and any one who sees
the big parade for the Queens birthday, or
general review ut Aldershot, " i'll have no hes
itation in saying to himself that these are the
handsomest troops iu the world. The long
squadrons Of cavalry and horse artillery shin
ing and shifting, the dragons, hussars and
larcers, the beautiful horses and accoutre-
ments, the capital riders, the handsome faces,
the wonderful wagons and guns, seem even
more theatrical than military.
But the interior aspect of one of these
brilliant regiments is quite different thing.
To see the men carrying their coal, cleaning
their barrack rooms, and breakfasting on dry
bread, is not suggestive Of heroism or ro-
nance. 1t is distressing to see a splendid
life guardsman--in shining cuirass and plumed
helm, jack boots, long spurs and clanking
swOrd-carrying q basin of weak tea and
piece of bread, which he is about to consume,
with the aid of a saveloy or pennyworth of
butter from the caDteeD, for his evening
meal He ought. according to his appear
ance, to sup on chine of beef and fagon
of nut-brown ale, as in days of yore, when a
soldier was not such mere regulated part of
II machine, and was better paid in proportion
to the earnings of the community. There il
one word which affords a kind of magic key
to the whole existence of the soldiers of the
British army That word is regulations.
Whether on duty, whether on parade or in
his barrack room, whether sick in hospital or
taking his walks abroad, the soldier must be-
have according to regulations. The guide to
his daily course of life IL 20 be found in
red book entitled: 1.-The Queens Regulations
and Orders for the Army" Not only must a
private soldier be dressed and accoutred ex-
actly according to rule when he appears on
parade, but even when he walks out Of the
barracks in pursuit of recreation. He may
or may not have a chilly habit of body, or be
partial or not to carrying slender cane in
his hand but the wearing Of great coat or
the carrying Of cane will depend, not upon
his own notions. but upon the regulations
issued by his commanding officer.

Feeding Apples to Cattle.

Josiah Clark, New Hampshire farmer, in
letter to the Germantown Telegraph, says
As each farmer is supposed to w-ite to i'm
part useful information to his brother farm
ers, | will give my experience in feeding
apples to mlch and fatting cows. For 30
years have been in the habit of feeding ap-
Piles TO cows, horses and swine without test
ing their value other than by general obser-
vation, and have come to the conclusion that
they were worth 10 cents per bushel for
either milk or fat. Whenever have fatted
hogs or cows for the last 80 years, l have
done so with apples in this way. Begin with
half peck first week, increasing half peck
per week till I reach one bushel per week,
and continue that amount up to within
two weeks of killing. Then add to the
apples these two weeks bag of corn meal.
With this treatment | have fattened hogs and
cows. Last fall l decided to test fully
the value of apples in producing milk. For
this purpose bought three-year-old Jersey
and Ayrshire heifer. She had been kept on
ensilage about four weeks previous to pur-
chase. and as I wished to be sure of The test,
gave her poor meadow hay and a half peck
of apples for the first week per day. In the
first three DAYS she increased in flow of milk
one-third. Second week fed one peck of ap-
Piles per day. and milk increased to about
double what she gave at time of purchase.
As she calved the first of March, and Of
course should have decreased instead Of in
creased in flow, it surprised me not little.
In order to be sure in the matter I would
leave the apples out for two or three days and
she would fall back to even less than she gave
at purchase. / then would feed on the best
of hay for two or three days, increasing
very slightly l then put her back to apples
and meadow hay, and her flow would come
up to about second week of treatment. /
then gave her good hay and two quarts OF
meal, with slight increase Of milk. What
surprised me most was the quality of milk
and butter. both being very ri b and nutty.
To go into all the little details Of the ex-
pertinent will be too tedious. l will there
fore, close by saying that one peck of apples
moistened and one quart of cornmeal sprink-
led over them is worth more for milk and fai
than four quarts of meal alone. | used to
think it paid to cook the apples. but am
salts fed it doesn't.

ing, that it is the yellow core Of the
carrot that is difficult of digestion-the
outer red layer is tender enough. In
Savoy the peasants have recourse to
an infusion of carrots as specific for
jaundice.
The large sweet onion is very rich in
those alaline elements which contract
the poison Of rheumatic gout. If
slowly stewed in weak broth, and eaten
with a little Nepaul pepper, it will be
found to be an admirable article of diet
for the patients of studious and
sedentary habits. The stalks of
caulflower have the same sort of
value. only too often the stalk of a
caulihower is so ill.boiled and unpalat-
able that few persons would thank you
for proposing to them to make part of
their meal consist of so uninviting an
article. Turnips, in the same way, are
often thought to be ipdigestible, and
better suited for cows and sheep than
for delicate people; but here the fault
lies with the cook quite as much as
with the root. The cook boils the tur-
nip badly, and then pours some butter
over it, and the eater Of such dish is
sure to be the worse for it. Try bet
ter way. Half boil your turnip and cut
it in slices like half crowns. Butter a
pie dish, put in the slices, moisten with
little milk and weak broth, dust once
with bread crumbs and pepper and
SAT-, and bake in an oven until it gains
a bright golden brown. This dish, which
is the Piedmontese fashion of eating
turnips, is quite uusuited to cows and
ought to be popular. What shall be
said about our lettuce? The plant has
slight narcotic action, of which a
French old woman, like French doc
tor, well knows the value, and when
properly cooked it is really very easy
of digestion. But in our country,
though lettuces are daily grown in
every garden, you often hear the re-
mark, 81 can't eat salad" and as few
cooks know how to use the vegetable
which has been refused in its raw state,
the lettuces are all wasted, and so is
