A Spanish Grandee.

The Duke of Osuna, whose death is
announced, was a curious specimen of
an old-fashioned Spanish grandee. He
had about fifty titles, many of them BEING
historical. He was singularly stupid
and a singularly liberal man, being pos
sessed OF vast estates He married a
German lady, but was with difficulty
prevented from running away on the day
OF the ceremony. He always insisted
that the Empress Eugene owed her
throne to him, as the Emperor Napoleon
would never have married her had he
not feared that if he delayed she might
become Duchess of Osuna. For some
years he was Spanish Ambassador at ST.
Petersburg but he always refused to
draw his salary, as to do so was beneath
the dignity of an Osuna. His notions of
hospitality were of the grandest. In
Madrid open house was kept in one of
his palaces, whether he was there or not.
One day lady told him that she was
going to some town in Spain, and, pre-
Stunning that he had palace there, he
begged her to use it; but, finding that he
was mistaken, he at once ordered one to
be bought and furnished, in order that
the invitation should stand good. 1t was
difficult to praise anything in his pres
ence, for he at once insisted upon the
person who praised it accepting it. One
of his estates in Spain was SO LARGE that
1t supported band of robbers, who
respectfully called themselves ..the rob-
bers of the Duke of Osuna." OF this he
was extremely proudly y Sun.

Take Care of the Tomato Vines,

LII there is any one subject that would
seem to be exhausted, it is the Tomato
Trellises. During the past twenty years
we have described probably twenty diff
ferent trellises, and the story of the whole
is: Keep your tomato vines from resting
upon the ground. One of the simplest
methods is, to drive in stakes at an angle
OF forty-fve degrees, and nail, or lash to
these, light poles of any kind; in the alb
sence of poles use wire. The whole OBJ
ject is to SO place the vines that they can
be reached on all sides, not only that we
may free them from "the worm,n but
also save the fruit from decay. If the
fruit is left in direct contact with the
soil, decay sets in soon after ripening
begins, supporting the clusters of fruit,
where all can be seen, will allow of the
removal of the poorly shapen, and when
they are too much crowded, they may be
thinned. The French advise training
the tomato to single stake. We have
tried this and do not like it. The clus-
tiers OF fruit, as they approach maturity,
become very heavy, and just as they are
the mostpromising will break away from
the main stem. Such clusters can not
be readily supported when the plants are
trained to single stake, but on trellis
OF almost any kind they may be kept up.
The tomato may be cultivated in two
methods: as field crop in which it is
allowed to have its own way; or in the
garden, where those who appreciate ex-
cellence in vegetables will find the to-
mato to amply repay whatever care may
be given to it. Were it only for the facili-
ties it affords for catching 'sthe worm,''
we should always provide some kind of
a trellis for the tomato. Besides this,
the handsome appearance of the ripen-
ing fruit is greatly in its favor. --Anseri-
can Agricullurdlist.

Paris Fashions in Canes and Sta.
tiOnery.

The habit1es of the SATURDAYS of the
Cirque dEte could write some curious
pages on fashions in canes and walking
sticks and in the way of holding them.
Justnow, for instance, fashion prescribes
the carrying of silver or gold-headed
cane, held in the middle stiffiy, with the
elbows at an angle. In the .foyer de Ia
da,ase' at the Opera, it is considered
CHIC to hold the cane by the wrong end
and to sweep the floor with the knob.
Last year it was the fashion to orna-
ment ones note-paper with an immense
monogram; this year the monogram is
very small. The choice of note-paper
is really, it appears, a grave question
for woman who aspires to correct
elegance. She must vary her paper as
she does her toilettes. In writing to
crowned heads. prelates and high-born
ladies with whom she is not intimate.
she will employ paper with her arms
worked In as water-mark, and she will
seal her letters with wax. Letter paper
with crest is supremely elegant, and
of universal usage. Emblems, flowers.
monkeys, insects and other fantastic de-
signs that you see in the stationers' win
dows are not considered chic except by
actresses. etc. The parUenus and rastG-
quoueres carry fancifulness to the ex-
treme in naenus and invitation cards.
Some OF them even go SO far as to pay
Guerard or Somfn thousand francs to
eteh and emblematic heading.-London

THE DIsoBEDIENT MICE.

Three young mice in farmhouse brown
Lived, signing for the great. big town.
The mother warned OF traps and snares,
And pussy cats with bland, false airs,
And said: my dears, seek not to roam;
The safest, sweetest place is home."
They thought: These are but foolish fears,
Our mother childish grows with years.
And, stealing from the farmhouse brown,
One night they scampered Off to town.
All, what rare sight met their eyes,
:. A shop all stored with cakes and pies!
= Here we viii live" they cried; show fine
On such nice things to sup and diner
They slept all day, but woke at night
To feasting, frolic and delight.
Next night trap was set. "Ah. see!"
Cried the young mice, in giddy glee,
That dear, good baker loves us SO,
These tables are for us, we know"
With ne'era voice to say "Bewarers
They rushed into the bakers snare:
10 call for help was all in vain,
Their poor, wee neckS were rent in twain,
At home the old mouse sits forlorn,
weeping and wailing night and morn;
Come back, my truants threew she cries,
With salt tears streaming from her eyes;
. From the worlds danger and unrest
Flee to the sheltered, safe home-nestY
Ah little ones, who tease and fret,
Think of their fate and ne err forget
To yield without frown or tear,
When mamma says: mo, no, my dearl''

FARM AND PRESIDE.

The most important study of cul-
tivator of the soil is to plan for such
crops as will always be in demand and
always pay; crops that will be in demand
year after year.-N. Z. Herald.
Gather no seed from forest tree
that is not clean and straight and rapid
grower. Scrub trees beget their like.
The law of heredity holds good in trees
as well as in the lower animals and men.
Hundreds of farmers in Pennsyl-
vania have turned their attention to fish
culture. Many have stocked ponds and
streams, and in most cases they have
been successful, especially with carp, and
in few years they will depend upon
fish for a subsistence as much as upon
any other farm product.
"A satisfactory piece of economy is
to take the pretty striped or dotted socks
of the father and cut them over in little
stockings for the baby. 1t often happens
that the sock is worn past mending at
the heel only, leaving the rest of it avail
able, and if care is taken to make the
seams small and smooth, the little stock
ings will be success, and will last twice
as long as any children's socks that can
be bought.-N 7. Post.
Orange Basket: Remove the inside
pulp of the orange carefully by making
asmall incision on one side. Then cut
the skin into shape of basket, leaving
about one-half an inch of the stalk end
for handle. Fill the basket with ices,
ice-creams, frozen punches, or whipped
creams, jellies, etc. They look very
pretty on table. The pulp of the or
ange can be utilized for the children by
removing the pith and seeds and sweet
ening with sugar; or it can be used to
make orange ice-cream or water ices
Chicago journal.
A farmer tried the experiment of
placing boards here and there in his po-
tato patch, with raw potatoes sliced and
distributed thereon, as trap for the
Colorado beetle. It was a success. At
noon on the first day he and his men
found every slice covered with bugs.
This crop was killed, and at night anoth-
er crop, not so large, was disposed of.
In a week not bug could be seen. and
after that the trouble was small If the
slices of potato were dipped in Paris
green it would probably save the work
OF killing the bugs.-N Y. Examiner.
Cream Pie: Take two eggs, one cup.
full OF sugar and two tablespoonful of
corn starch; beat the eggs, sugar and
starch together; boil one pint of milk,
season with vanilla, and just as it boils
stir in the mixture; stir all the time until
it thickens. Before cooking. stir in one
tablespoonful of butter. This is for the
pie. Take three eggs, one cupful of
sugar, one-fourth of teaspoonful of
soda in half cupful of sour cream, and
one teaspoonful of cream of tartar mixed
in one and half cupfuls of flour; bake
quickly in jelly-cake pans. When cold,
slice the cake and put in layers of the
above cream.-1he Household.

Egyptian and Hindoo Musicians.

The Egyptian sings at his work, be Il
at the water-xheel, maize hoeing, row.
ing or donkey-driving. He is always
droning out some chant; not withoutthe
grace OF melody, though it is better
generally not to be aware of the exact
meaning of his lay. Like the Persian,
the Syrian and the Arab, he thinks high
ly OF the art of song. The Shoara Of
the Nile are popular and well-paid mu-
sicians; and even the Almeh or Awalim
the girls who dance and sing-are 50
called as being .'learned women.n But
the Hindoo is not of himself a singer.
He likes to squat on the ground and
hear the nautch women go through
their prolonged performance to the
gourd drum and the star. Indian regi-
ments do not sing choruses like our
own, nor do Indian crowds take up the
refrain of song and repeat it vocifer-
ously as an English crowd will dc atthe
theater or in public place. They
shout few words sometimes like ssJey!
Jey!' and a Mohammedan mob at such
festival as the Mohurrum will raise
vast clamor with religious outcriex
