TENNYSON'S NEW PLAY A

New YORK, Nov. 2O.-The Tribane's 8
London special says: Tennyson's Prom
Use Of May met and deserved more
contemptuous reception than any play
of recent times. Tho critics without
exception condemn Tennysons piece,
agreeing that i. was crude in concep.
tion, clumsy in structure, weak and
often puerile in dialogue, and totally
devoid Of the dramatic quality. The
play was received on the first night from
the beginning to the end with derision.
The noble Marquis of Queensbury at

son holds free thinker up to public
odium as the motive Of bis play. The
Marquis promptly denounced the lau.
reate during the first act, and on the
fall of the curtain made a violently i'm
passioned harangue to the audience. 1t
made a great sensation, but his lordship
was put out of the theater. The AFFAIR
has become the occasion Of widespread
discussion, in print and out of it. The

more than he was BY the dramatic
critics, and we are having it out accord

The Marquis says in the daily papers:

an atheist. As President of the
British Secular Union | protest
against Mr.. Tennyson's abominable
caricature of an individual whom

The Marquis's sister, the Lady Ger
trude Douglass, has scandalized society
during the week by the disclosure of
her marriage to baker. Her ladyship
is by no means of tender years and the
baker is only 81. Her iadyship has
money and the young man is a good
baker.

A Hint to Housekeepers,

A retail butcher in New York saws
THE New York public haven't much
discrimination. | often laugh at the
foolish way in which people will rush foa
the most expensive cuts. Everybody
wants to buy primerib roasts and porter
house and sirloin steaks, with plenty.oi
tenderloin. You can't persuade them
that the chuck roast of good beef, which
Is from five to eight cents pound
cheaper than the prime cut, is Just as
good eating. And you couldn't make
them believe if you took your affidavit
to it. that while the tenderloin may be
tender, 1T is neither as nutritious nor as
juicy as the round. You have no idea
how nearly unanimous is the demand for
these particular pieces. We often have
difficulty in selling the other portions of
the beef, which is just as good, at half
the price. Even when we put it down
to less than it costs us on the hoof, when
we have large stock to carry, we can
scarcely sell it. Beef is going to be still
higher, and if you'll take hint from
me you can save money by buying chuck
roasts of good beef which has been kept
ten days in the ice-house, and steaks
from the tender side OF the round or from
the end of the loin. It's just the same
with mutton. Everybody wants the
rack for broiling. Now, there's ONLY
about ten or twelve pounds of rack i'll

Prairie HAY.

During the pioneer days of this county
many of the early settlers who still sur

superior qualities of prairie hay, as COM

grasses were the main dependence for
that universal and indispensable article.
hay. In those days every man possessed
OF the slightest thrift or enterprise was
sure to have an abundant supply of up
land OF bottom grass, or perhaps both,
stacked about his premises, preparatory
to passing through one of those terrific
winters, which of late years are of very
rare occurrence
The horses, cattle and sheep which fed
on prairie hay were generally healthier
and less liable to diseases, considering
the many disadvantages existing in that
day, than to stock that enjoy the devices
and facilities of to-day for pamperino and
deceiving, even though they luxnriate
on the best Of timothy, millet, Hungar-
ian, or clover hay. Having seen the
various good results produced by the ex-
elusive use OF prairie hay, particularly
upland or blue-stem, do not hesitate in
pronouncing it far superior to any other
kind OF prepared grasses. But especially
do recommend and favor the use OF
prairie hay for horses, inasmuch as it is,
in one very important consideration, not
the only one, but prominent among the
many, namely: almost entirely free from
several species of fines, dust and mold.
