A Hint to Farmers Everywhere.
nr;0.rRaJd Rauuhlieap


The spirit Of the New England farmers is
rather unfavorable to agricultural tenants
unwisely so in our opinion. Farmers in
crease the size of their farms by acquisi ito II
of others. but they take little pains to keep
up the old farm-houses and to stock them
with good working help-men of family
whose children would fill up the district
school, whose sons would grow up to supply
the local market for farm hands, and whose
daughters would be the help in the house
of which there is in the rural regions in
creasing restitution. Any one familiar with
old-country neighborhoods can count fin
gersfull of cellar holes, where once lived the
families of the less well-to-do, supporting
themselves in honest independence While
the old homes tumble in or are converted
into sheep sheds, the farmers find increasing
difficulty to gee laborers, ride for miles after
hired girls" and wonder what the trouble
is, and the district school dwindles to a mere
family. A Connecticut school agent reports
over fifty schools in the State with less than
three pupils, and over $50 schools with less
than ten pupils The regions where these
schools are kept are of course losing popula-
ton, and it would be GOOD investment for
the farmers in every one of them to invite
agricultural tenants to settle there, giving
each one the use of a few acres and the pas
turdge of his COW. in consideration of having
his labor at hand

Renovating Old Enruiture.

Old tables are often made to do service in
the parlor or some nice room by covering
them with plush. A pretty music-rack can
be made out of one of those old-fashioned
wash-stands which has hole in the top for
the bowl, and shelf and drawer down be-
low. Saw off the back and towel rounds,
then nail a smooth board over the whole top
to cover the opening. If the stand is too
high lower it little, by taking an inch or
two off from the legs. Mix black paint by
dissolving an ounce of shellac in pint Of
alcohol adding enough lamp-black to make
it a proper consistency. Paint all but the
shelves with these, these cover over with
plush or velveteen. Finish the top shelf
with some fancy chenille fringe and make a
valance for three sides of the lower shelf
of the same material as the top and trimmed
with fringe. The side on which the drawer
opens can be turned against the wall and the
drawer used for music which is not wanted
often. Such stands can be utilized in sew
eral ways, the two shelves make them capa-
Die of different kinds of treatment The legs
may be covered with plush to match the
shelves, or the whole stand may be ebonized
and the drawer ornameD ted with some pretty
brass handles. and a scarf table-cover with

Charlotte Cushman,s Servant.


Speaking OF the stage l met one of its most
interesting figures recently, no less person
age(than Miss Charlotte Cushman's Sally. l
was sitting in the room of a friend at -
hotel the other day, when she put her head
inside the door to inquire for Miss Emma"
her present mistress, Mrs. Ed. Cushman
When Mrs. Cushman left the room said to
my friend:
Isn't that woman who came to the door
some relative to Charlotte Cushman; she is
her very image? Ny friend laughed. "Why
don't you know who that is? That is
Charlotte Cushman's faithful eolored maid,
Sally" l was delighted to hear this, for
had always an interest in Miss Cushman's
Sally, having heard her devotion and Gle YER
ness so often spoken of. She is a remarkably
nice-looking mulatto woman, about the
color of Miss Cushman as Meg Merrilies
When the great actress died she left Sally
enough to live on without working, but she
prefers to work in the family of her late mis-
tress than to remain idle. She has almost
entire charge of the Cushman household,
and is most invaluable person. was
speaking to a lady about her the other
day, and of her likness to Miss Cushman.
Il have often noticed it,'' said the lady,
and one day at Mount Desert was in
Mrs. Ed. Cushman's room and picked
up photograph lying on the table. oh,
here is picture of Miss Cushman, said l.
Then | looked again. Why, no; it isn't
Miss Cushman,' ! exclaimed; it's George
Eliot Well, l knew it was some dis
hnguished woman" When they told me it
was Sally still stuck to it that it was the
picture of distinguished woman, for con-
slider Sally to be no ordinary servant She
is character, and remarkably strong one.

degree of heat in which the finger can be
borne, when it is removed from the fire and
set away to cool, When quite cold the cream,
which by the cooking has become thick
and stiff, is skinned off from the milk, and
is then ready to be eaten. 1t is nice point
to know just when the milk is sufficiently
heated, for if it is permitted to come to a
bolP' it is spoiled for true "Devonshire," as
the cream is at once dispersed and mingled
with the milk, and the whole is no better
than boiled milk and scum. By watching
the surface, careful eye will at the right
moment see the cream begin to rise little
in the center; the pan should be immedi-
ately removed, before the surface becomes
broken, 1t is usually served at dessert with
berries or stewed fruit Great caution must
be used not to ruin the cream by overlook
ing, but it is almost as nice point for
people with delicate stomaehs to know just
when to stop eating it.

Terre Haute Express, 18th.
correspondent of the Express tells of a
queer dream of Mrs. T., living in Middle

rags of Mrs. s., of the same village. Before
they were delivered Mrs. S. died. She was
supposed to have had some money, but meme
could be found after her death. A short
time after the death of Mrs. S. the rags were
delivered to Mrs. T. She dreamed that there
was red ball of rags among the number
containing a pecket-book with a certain
amount of money in 1t. She told Mr.. T. her
dream, and he laughed and said it was moth
ing but a dream But it rested upon her
mind to that extent that she went with some
other ladies to the attic, where the rags were,
in search of the above-described ball. twas
found, the process of unwinding commenced,
and to their surprise, they found the book,
and the exact amount of money was found
that she dreamed it contained.

This delicacy is found in every market

about the same price as butter, which costs
more time and labor to produce. 1t is more
perishable than butter and less so than
cream that has not been cooked. The
fresher it is the better, but if properly cared
for it retains its eatable qualities for several
days after it is made. II Americans once

for it would follow. The way of making is

gradually until the milk is almost ready to
