A Clowns Rnse.

Auriol, the celebrated French clown,
whose death was recorded short time
ago in the columns OF the Partisan
press, was a man of remarkable cour-
age, GOODNESS aud ready wit During
one of his professional tours in Russia
he got into scrape, from which, how
ever, his presence OF mind enabled him
to extricate himself triumphantly. He
had been engaged, while at ST. Peters
burg, to perform at a private entertain-
ment given by wealthy nobleman res
ident in the Basil Island. 1t was in
the depth of winter, and the Neva was
frozen hard. Auriol dressed himself in
his clowns costume at his lodgings,
wrapped himself up in furs, hired
sledge, and started for his destination,
instructing his driver to take the short
cut across the river. Probably tempted
ty AurioPs costly pelisse, the istvostchik,
tall, powerful fellow, pulled up sudden
ly when about halfway across, jumped
down from his perch, and letting fall
the reins, turned toward his fare with
meanacing gestures. A moments hssi
vation would in all likelihood have cost
Auriol his life; but he proved equal t.
the emergency. Throwing of his fur
and revealing himself to his would-b.
assailant in the motley garb Of his pro-
fession, he sprang out of the sledge and
proceeded to execute some OF his most
amazing gambols on the ice. Paralyzed
with terror by so terrific an apparition, the
istvostchik made one Intellectual attempt
to cross himself, staggered forward, and
with an agonized cry of "The fiend
himself" fell fla and motionless on
his face. Without further loss of time
Auriol slipped on his furs, picked up
the reins, jumped into the sledge and
drove of, safe and sound, to fulfill his
engagement. Next morning the istvost-
chicks corpse was found stiff and
stark, lying face downward on the frozen
breast of the Neva.

The Tobacco from which the
Little Carrie" Cigars

(SoId only at 0der's Palace Grocery
A RE made is grown entirely in conser
IA vatories, and the cigars are made on
mahoganytab by thoroughbred Gu ans
in swallow-iail coats and white kid gloves.
When man smokes one OF these cigars,
he walks on air, and dreams that he hxs a
diamond scarf-pin and sixty-fve dollar
suit of clothes, and just married rich. 1t
makes the breath sweet, and keeps the
teeth white, and will force a moustache on
the fmoothest lip In five weeks. Any man
who wants to start railroad can do so
with these cigars without fear of failing
to make connection or putting in cross
ing In less than three hours.

closets and clothes, with fragrance delicate
and the exquisite scent of heliotrope, new
mown hay, jockey club and white rose. 1t
will fasten the front gate every night, and
carry in the paper in the evening, chase
the cats from the garden, drive tho hens to
water and "hardly ever" fail to make one
feel better all over. No well regulated
family can properly keep house without
them; for the man who smokes this cigar
will never cut wood too long for the
stove, never swear when he puts up stove
pipes, never step on lady's train, join
club or go down near tho postoff1ce after

Divorces.

Divorces are the jarring sounds Of
three little syllables combining all
manner of mischief and evil, mournful
epitaphs heading the graves Of wedlock;
horrid bombshells exploding the noble
towers of matrimony; disgraceful
sequels to numerous weddings; miser-
able relics of many marriages; unfortu-
nate realizations OF bright anticipations;
profane dissertations of sacred institu-
tions, and wretched inventions to shirk
lawful responsibilities.
Yet, good men, if you but build your
home castles with beams of solid integ-
rity and strong rafters of devotion, scat
tering throughout kind words, like SO
many beautiful windows through which
can enter the pure atmosphere of affec-
tion, no fear that divorces those hur-
ricanes and pestilences of life-will
sweep away your mansions of happi-
n IS; while you, dear women, who SO
willingly don the holy garbs of mar
riage, remember that what matters it il
cares and Disappointment render them
threadbare, SO you but retain the pro-
tecting mantles of love with which to
conceal their defects and forever pre-
serve them against the destructive
thorns and tearing briars Of divorces;
for, alasl divorces-those melancholy
insignias of broken hearts, wasted SYM
pathies, vice and sin-are indeed
lamentable, and we often wonder why
those villainous parasites of society keep
such time with civilization (though it is
whispered that curtain lectures are very
productive of them y and We would fain
see them disappear, even at the risk of
appearing no better than the poor beasts
of burden patiently carrying our saddle
bags of trouble Until the good Master
above suffers us to lay them down and
repose in DEATH Carrie famirfz.

Recipes.

SAUCE FOR PUDDINGs.-Take one Ia
blespoonful of flour, one of water,
one of butter, and three of sugar.
Rub we'll together, and pour in
one cup of boiling water; set on the
stove and let it boil; take off and stir
in one egg, and a little favoring ex.
tract.
VERMucELLI PUpDINa.-Two ounces oil
vermicelli, three-quarters OF pint Of
milk, quarter of pint Of cream, one
ounce and half of butter, two eggs,
one ounce and half OF sugar. Boil the
vermicelli in the milk until tender,
then stir in the remaining Ingredients.
Butter a small tart-dish and bake.
BUTTER-SooToH CANDY. One pound OF
O sugar, three ounces of butter, put in
q stew-pan or kettle, and stir often to
prevent burning. Try q little in water;
if brittle it is done. Pour out on the
top Of battered pan and mark in
squares. I think them as good as those
you buy. A little grated lemon rind
improves the flavor.

A Safe Waiter Assured,

A crusty- looking old gentleman, 40
companied by the regulation well-fed
consort and couple of well-favored
daughters. entered the dining-room OF
the Del Monte, and as he tucked his
napkin beneath his generous chin,
turned round and fixed fierce glance
upon the waiter behind his chair:
"Look here, my man." said the old
party, sharply, "beforeI I give my order
I want to ask you question. Are
you an italian count in disguise?'" 'tNot
any," replied the surprised coffee
splasher. "Nor an English nobleman,
the unaccountable delay of whose re-
mittance has temporarily compelled
etc. "Naw zur." "Nor a graduate
of Harvard, and estranged from your
father, rich Boston banker, whose
naughty pride is as unyielding as your
own ?" etc. "I am not" "All right,
here's dollar, and you can bring in
the grub. Now that l know you are
not the regular thing in walters nova
day-that you are not going to run of
with one of my daughters, or pick my
pocket, can eat in peace. San Fran

Sunlight for Pigs.

What an exchange says about pigs is
true also of all animals. They cannot
thrive without sunlight: "Where the
sun does not come the doctor does"
applies to our animals as we'll as our
selves. A breeder asked our advice
about his pigs; they did not thrive +,
he wss always unfortunate with them,
and with the utmost care they never
reared their young to perfection. The
stys face the North, and never get any
sun the beds are lower than the out
side ground, and the bottom is of
earth; of course, always damp and
offensive, Notwithstanding that straw is
added day after day. Stys should face
the sun, and be allowed plenty of fresh
air; the bottom should be concreted
and slightly sloping, to carry off the
wet, and, although some do not like it,
we approve strongly of wooden bench
at the back for the bed. The sides Of
the sty should be rallied, not bricked or
boarded, as young pigs are often crushed
by the SOW pressing against them.

Beaver Island.

Beaver Island is located in the north
ern part of Lake Michigan. 1t is about
thirty miles long by twenty in breadth,
and contains twelve hundred inhabit-
ants. 1t is the county seat of all the
lands in Lake Michigan and the Straits
Of Mackinaw, which comprises one
county. Many years ago quite large
number Of Mormons came and took
possession of Beaver Island, but they
made themselves, as we'll as their laws,
so obnoxious to the rest of the people,
that they were unendurable, so one day
an alteration took place between their
leader, "King Strang" and one of the
Gentiles, who drew his revolver and
shot Strang dead. The man had 80
much sympathy from his neighbors
that he was not arrested, 80 the Nor
mons remained quiet for some time,
but finally vessel came to an anchor
in the hsrbor, which the
uOIuuOun DOhIucu huu bollcu, Oubhuiu'
bering and overpowerinR the crew,
whom they bound hand and foot, and
chained up in the forecastle; finding
out, however, there was liquor con-
cealed in the schooner, they liberated
one of the sailors, whom they compelled
to produce cask of the rum. after
which they drank so much they became
stupefed, when the star" "tied his
shipmates loose" which soon placed the
Mormons in the same chaius that they
had 80 lately worn. Lowering a small
boat, the now triumphant seamen pulled
to the shore, and soon returned to the
ship with reinforcement sufficient to
drive the Mormons from the island in
rather hasty manner. Beaver harbor
is pretty bay, circular in form, with
an entrance just wide enough for YES
sells to pass through in all kinds OF
weather. The bay is about one mile in
diameter. The people of the island
occupy themselves farming and fishing.

The editor of Nature says that "many
Arctic authorities are Of opinion that the
days of great and expensive national
Polar expeditions are passed, and that the
money thus spent would be put to much
better use by being devoted to the car
rying on of continuous series of OBJ
servations. At various points around
The Arctic area observations will be es-
tablished as near as practicable to the
pole, where continuous series of OBJ
servations will be taken, according to a
common prearranged plan. These OBJ
servations will be connected with mete-
orology in all its departments, with ter
restrial magnetism, the aurora borealis,
atmospheric electricity, the movements
of the ice, biology, combined with geo.
graphical exploration where practicable.
After year or two of such observations
we may then be able to compare and CO.
ordinate Polar conditions with those
which prevail in regions further south.
A vast array of data must necessarily be
accumulated that cannot but be turned
to valuable account by science"

Farm and ,nrdeu Notes.

Farm and Garden Notes.
Add all refuse matter to the compost
heap.
English farmers use bone dust on
pastures, butprefer superphosphates for
sown crops.
Sciops. it is claimed, carry with them
the bearing year of the tree from which
they were taken.
Shelter and warmth, with regularity
in feeding, are essential to success in
the management of cattle.
All that you wish to know Of any new
breeds of fowls will not be learned from
those who are anxious to sell them.
Feed windbroken horses frequently
and little at time. Grind the food.
Give plenty of salt and little water at a
time.
A little grease or kerosene on the
legs of fowls will remove scabs in
short time. Two applications are some
times needed.
On many farms there are some old
cattle and old sheep that can only be
kept at a loss. 1t is economy to fatteu
them for the butcher.
Where the ground is infested with
white grubs it would be advisable to
mix salt sparingly with the soil before
setting out strawberry plants.
An offensive odor from decaying vege-
tables will be absorbed by milk. A
pair of old shoes or pair of barnyard
overalls in cellar where there is milk
are likely to contaminate it.
The most profitable way to raise beef
cattle Is to keep them constantly in
thrifty and improving condition. 1t is
not necessary to keep very young stock
rolling in fat, but there should always
be an abundance of nutritious food to
help nature in its development. To
allow stock to run down in flesh and
become ill. conditioned, simply because
it is not designed for market for some
time. is the height of folly.

Calcutta was recently thrown into a
state of intense excitement by the ar
rival of the great Moulvi Hafiz Ahmed,
who is credited with the possession OF
miraculous powers enabling him to
cure all diseases which flesh is heir to.
His process is very simple. The peo-
pie assemble with earthen pots of water;
he passes among them and breathes
upon the water, and forthwith it is i'm
pregnated with curative properties.
Enormous crowds follow the man
wherever he goes, and not only Hin
loos and Mohsmmedans, but even Chris
tians of all classes join the ranks. He
is in easy circumstances, and exacts no
fee or reward of any kind for his SER
vices; his personal character is above
reproach, and his influence is always
used in favor of law and order. He is
Mohammedan preacher and a great
authority upon points Of Mohammedan
doctrine.

Fall PasIuring.


The dairyman who pastures ordinary
meadows in the fall robs his next crop
to an extent that he does not realize.
The writer was conversant with q case
where seventy-five acres averaged
regularly about one hundred and thirty
tons of excellent hay when no pasturing
was allowed; and the owner, having
tenant who had been rather unfortunate,
allowed him to pasture some twenty
FIVE COWS upon the aftermath of these
meadows for single fall, and the con-
sequence was reduction OF the yield
from 130 tons down to sixty tens the
next season, and the yield was never
recovered until reseeling. It was esti-
mated that the whole value of the
twenty-five cows in the fall was not
tqral TO the injury of the next crop on
the seventy-five acres of meadow.
This practice Of pasturing meadows is
one of the most ruinous of the mis-.
takes among dairymen and causes them
ften to be SO short Of hsy as to iniure
the yield of their herds in the spring.
Good feeding through the winter lays
the fonuda ion for good yield of milk
he f'iiowing season with good cows.
Good meadows are very essential to
success in dairying, and therefore this
question should be most carefully con.
sidered. National Lius Stock Jommal.
