AMERICAN THEATRE.

The American Theatre on Church street reopens for it's second regular season with Q company of unusual merit and attractiveness and will no doubt have 8 most prosperous season. During the summer vacation the house has been thoroughly renovated and enlarged. and is now one of the handsomest theatres in the city. The interior has all been repapered and painted in bright and attrac- tive colors. Three hundred new opera chairs have been put in on the lower floor, making five hundred in all. An entire new set of scenery has been added. and additional lights, both on the stage and in the auditorium and lobby. It will be the earnest endeavcsr of the management to secure the patronage of the ladies, and there is no reason why they should not succeed. Last season the house was run as 8 first-class novelty theatre, and during all the year not one objectionable ca ture was presented upon it's stage, and with such record in it's favor the American should find no difficulty in stepping to the front rank of New Haven amusement resorts.

THE FAMILY DOCTOR.

Don't start the days work without
a good breakfast, is advice given by
DR.. Foote's Health Monthly.
To relieve toothache apply to the
troublesome tooth tiny piece of cot
ton saturated with ammonia.
A delicate child suffers most from
neglect of its lower extremities. The
worst result may follow from chilling
the legs.
BY a law of transmission, feeble
mother enfeebles her child in tending
and fondling it, even if she does not
nurse it.
Do not eat in a hurry. Masticate
your food well, and do not make the
stomach perform work that the teeth
were intended to do.
A bit of cotton batting sprinkled
with black pepper and wet with sweet
oil and inserted in the ear will imme
diately cure earache.
A teaspoonful of the white of an
egg, well beaten and mixed with lemon
juice and sugar, taken occasionally will
relieve hoarseness.

Successful P0ultry-Raising.

In raising poultry or stock of any
kind says an exchange, it should be
the aim of every one to keep it healthy
and improve it. You can do it very
easily by adopting some systematic
rules. These may be summed up in
brief as follows:
l. Construct your house good and
warm, so as to avoid damp floors and
to afford floor of sunlight. Sunshine
is better than medicine.
2. Provide a busting and scratching
place, where you can bury wheat and
corn, and thus induce the fowls to
take needful exercise.
3. Provide yourself with some good
healthy chickens, none to be over three
or four years old, giving one cock to
every twelve hens.
4. Give plenty of fresh air at all
times of the year, especially in sum
muir.
5. Give plenty of fresh water daily,
and never allow the fowls to go
thirsty.
6. Feed them Systematically two or
three times Il day; scatter the food so
they cannot eat too fast, or without
proper exercise. Do not feed more
than they will eat up clean, or they
will get tired of that kind of feed.
z. Give them a variety of both dry
and cooked food; mixture of cooked
meat and vegetables is good for morn
ing feed.
s. Give soft feed in the morning, and
the whole grain at night, except a lit
tie wheat or cracked corn placed in the
scratching places to give them exercise
during the day.
8. Above all things keep the hen
house clean and well ventilated.
10. Do not crowd too many in one
house. If you do, look out for fatal
diseases.
IL. Use carbolic powder in the dust
ing bins occasionally to destroy lice.
IL. Wash your roosts and bottom of

ChirOmancy.

M. Alexandra Lumas is preparing an
important work treating of the science
of chiromancy, in which he is an ar
dent believer, According to him the
hand is the indication of the character:
past. present and future are written in
the lines of the palm. When Lambert,
who was organizing hisPolar expedition
called on M. de Saulcy and told him that
everything was ready, and that he was
starting under auspices which guaran-
teed his success, he met Desbarolles.
who told M. de Saulcy, when Lambert
had gone, that the expedition would
prove a failure. Desbarolles was
laughet-,at, but before the enthusiastic
Lambert could start, the war broke ont
and he Joined free corps to meet his
fate-af Prussian bullet-under the
walls ofEParis.
In 1870, when the empire was at it's
zenith, the same man read in the hand
of the Empress the catastrophes which
were to befall her after so much happi-
ness. He saw the reverse of the medal.
and grief choked his utterance. He
could not tell what he had seen, but the
empress told him that when she was
quite child gitana had read her fate,
predicting her marriage to an emperor,
her splendor and then her fall, with a
long period of suffering, and then the
scaffold. Desbarolles admitted that
much of what had been predicted would
be fulfilled, but that the lines of the
palm denied that the lady would meet
the same fate as Marie Antoinette, al
though her life would probably be
ended in exile.

old building, main rooms and shed

and wooden coping in front, reside
Colonel Andrew Jackson, adopted
grandson of the hero, with his wife
and mother and two old negroes, man
and wife, about sixteen years old when
purchased by Jackson, nearly sixty
years ago. General Jackson and his
wife sleep side by side in the little gar
deu near the residence, each beneath a
broad granite slab. Inscribed in old
fashioned Roman letters are the words
on the slab which covers Mrs. Jackson
composed by her Devoted husband:
"Here lie the remains of Mrs. Rachel
Jackson, wife of President Jackson,
who died the 22d December, 1928" The
old hero had been elected President his
first term, but did not take his seat till
March 4th following. The inscription
recounts her virtues in words forciblo
and tender, and closes:

feeble and heart-broken, walked slowly
behind the coffin, leaning upon a long
cane he was accustomed at the time to
carry about his farm. AS the friends
of the dead gathered about to look for
the last time upon her face, General
Jackson lifted his cane as if appealing
to heaven, and by look commanding
silence, said slowly and painfully and
with voice full of bitter tears:
I'm the presence of this dear saint I
can and do forgive all my enemiesl
But those vile wretches who have
slandered her must look to God for
mercy
One of the most beautiful and re-
deeming traits in all this rugged and
heroic nature was the unalterable love
and devotion he bore his wife. For
seventeen years after her death the
memory of this noble woman was
cherished, until the summer of 1885,
when he was laid to rest beside the
only woman he ever loved-loved with
a romantic tenderness and strength
surprising the dream of fiction.

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.


4 Massachusetts farmer saws that a
few years ago he had rough, rocky
pasture, which was covered with briars
and bushes so thick that there was
very little grass upon it. He cut off
the bushes and put on sheep enough to
eat everything that grew upon it for
four or five years. They killed all the
briars and most of the bushes. He
oowed on some plaster of paris and
that was all he did to it, and then he
said an acre of it was worth more and
would produce more feed than three
would before. If a pasture is heavily
stocked with sheep, and oil meal and
cottonseed meal is fed to them to make
up the deficiency of the food great i'm
provement will be made in the fertility
and productiveness of the pastures,
English farmers have declared that
they had doubled the value of their
grazing lands by feeding oil cake in the
summer.

Food for Hogs and Pigs.

Mr.. j. N. Bartlett, So. Royalston.
Mass, reported in the Ne,o England
Farmer last winter the following salts
factory experience in feeding apples to
cows and pigs: In 1880 I, in common
with most other farmers about here
had large quantities of apples to dis
pose of. AS soon as the earliest va
rieties were fit for domestic use, the
imperfect ones were fed to my COW and
pig, the feed of the pig being mostly
apples, from the time it was about
three months old until it was killed
in the following winter and never
raised a better shoat. The apples were
fed raw. l also began to feed them to
my cow at the same time, but not reg
ularly or uniformly until the COM
mencement of winter. About the mid
die of November began to give the
COW daily all the apples that she would
eat, which did not vary much from
three-fourths to one bushel per day,
not failing to do so in any instance for
one day, until the following spring.
This resulted in the fine health and
thrift of the COW, the production Of
excellent milk and butter, and saving
of about one-half of the amount Of hay
consumed by the same cow as com
pared with the winter previous. I can
hardly attribute the one-half saving of
hay entirely to an equal nutrition fur
nished by the apples consumed, but
partly to the better digestion and as
similation arising from the admixture
of the green and dry food so consumed.
l have been feeding the same COW and
another pig with apples in the same
way with equal success the >,
season, the apples in every case being
ordinary cider apples, and always used
in whole and raw state, without any
mixture whatever, in feeding my cow.

Household Hints.

If kid gloves are laid upon a
damp towel for two or three minutes,
they will so on with less chance of
tearing.
For useful home rug, purchase a
sheepskin and wash it thoroughly in
boiling soapsuds, and when dry comb

Good yeast cakes can be kept in ex-
cellent condition if it is twice well
washed with ice cold hard spring water
and then dried and well pressed This
mass is afterward to be well mixed
with malt dust and stored in closed
jars in ice cellars.
To protect the ironing board from
dust, take two paper flour sacks, cut
the bottom off from one, and paste this
one to the top of the other to make the
required length; when done, slip this
over the board. The outer covering
of the board need not be taken off after
using, if this care is taken, and much
time is saved.
To wash a fine cambria handkerchief
embroidered in colored silks, so that
the colors do not run, the secret is to
wash in soap lather very quickly,
wiring thoroughly and then iron, so that
it dries at once There should be no
soaking, and the embroidered corner
should be kept out of the water as
much as possible. A little alum in the
water will make the process more sure.
