The Wrong Sister.

At a recent dinner party there We're
two sisters present, one q widow who
had lust emerged from her weeds, the
other not long married whose husband
had lately gone to India for a short term.
A young lawyer present was deputed to
take the young lady in to dinner. I'm
fortunately he was under the impress
sion that his partner was the married
lady whose husband had just arrived
in India. The conversation between
them commenced by the lady remark
ing how warm it was for the season of
the year Eyes, it is quite warm" re-
piled the lawyer. Them happy thought
suggested itself to him, but he added,
with cheerful smile, tbut not as hot as
the place to which your husband has
gone.r The look with which the lady
answered this lively sally, will haunt that
unhappy man till his death.

Potato Culture Profitable.

Mr.. G. E. Rost Of Ionia, Mich, at a
late meeting of the Farmers Institute Of
Ionia, stated that his lightest yield of
potatoes during the last fifteen years
was eighty bushels of good-sized pota-
toes per acre, and his largest 325 BUSH
els. The largest profit was obtained
from the lightest yield, with the excep-
ton of one year. In 1881 he planted
eight acres and raised 500 bushels, for
which he received 81 200. Last year he
planted the same number OF acres,
raised 800 bushels, but had to sell
them for so cents per bushel, because
potatoes were abundant and cheap.
Big crops or large yields do not always
pay the grower the greatest profit.

But when he came to investigate himself
he found that he was a little on rowing

running behind. Keene bought every

Sweet Corn.

If we plant Early Naragansett and

shall have cooking ears about July 20.
There is little choice between the two.
Both grow about four feet high, one ear,
eight to twelve rows, to stalk. Moore's

August 10th. This grows about five feet

The ears are long and from eight to ten
The Tuscarora grows about six feet

IF the American traveller were to sail
for Europe on the 18th of April AMI re-
turn the latter part of August, he would
find bis summer trip far more enjoyable
than by the usual process of starting in
June and going home in October. He
would reach London before the arrival
of the great crowds of the season. He
would see Paris in the very height of her
brightest and gayest season, when shops
and picture galleries, parks and thea
tres, all vie with each other in attrac-
tiveness. And on his homeward voy-
age he would escape the terrible gales
that often In October sweep the ocean
as foTerunners OF the fierce tempests of
winter As 1t is, he does not reach
Europe till the lOveliness of a continent
tai spring is at an end, and he fingers
till he gets fOretaste Of the grey skies
and continuous rains of an average
European winter.

either too much or too little. Some pro-

totally useless in the ground of travel

other hand, it is never well to
buy new dresses when one
first arrives, merely to have
their freshness destroyed by being worn

every lady that purposes coming abroad
to make a careful selection from her last
years wardrobe, and bring the things
over that she wishes TO wear out. A
handsome walking dress is necessary: it
shoul be of dark subdued colors. Also

Growing Old Gracefully.


Growing old gracefully is one of the
fine arts but little understood by the
majority of stage people. Those who
play juvenile parts especially ladies,
cling to them with the energy of despair.
Having once played sweet sixteen,
an actresses wishes always to play six
teen, and will do nothing else until, fin
ally. the public complain and she suf-
fers the modification of hearing people
say that she is old and they wish she ID
get out, and, presently she is forced to
do so. Up to a certain point an actress
ought to be older than the age which
she assumes. A woman of twenty-five
or even of thirty, especially if her fig
ure is slight, can play sweet sixteen bet
ter than girl of that age can, for, up to
that period of her lite, she ought to re-
tain her beauty and youthfulness pretty
we'll; the makeup box can add what lit
tie is needed and the experience OF any
actress of thirty must enable her to
play more artistically than the
novice of sixteen could. Of course
there are exceptions to every rule, but
Fin speaking of the average case. When,
however, an actress knows, or IS old
enough to know, that she's getting ut
tie beyond the very juvenile roles, she
should devote herself to a grade more
mature. Dashing widows of twenty-five
are attractive to more people than bud
ding damsels of sixteen, about whom
seems to linger an odor of school-room
lunch of bread and butter, sprinkleG
with sugar. If this change is made at
the proper time. people won't notice
that she has grown any older. be-
cause they won't see any signs of her
lacking the youthfulness demanded for
her roles, which they would observe II
she still chung to the very juvenile ones.
From the dashing widows she can, when
time makes it necessary, gli1e into char
acters of the Odette order, or OF Mrs.
Gilflory type, and when she at last
comes to the real old woman stage OF her
career, she has got there gracefully and
gradually and nobody has thought to
remark that she has become old, until
she IS willing to acknowledge it herself,
provided there is time when a woman
is willing to acknowledge herself old.

Feed for Horses.

A pair of old horses which cannot
keep in good condition on oats, as they
swallow them whole, have wintered in
excellent condition on corn. They were
fed corn in the ear so long as it lasted,
and now they are doing equally as well
on it shelIed. They are given two quarts
at feeding, getting six quarts day
with straw. One of them more than a
quarter of century old, looks fine and
does his share OF work. He masticates
the corn and none of it is wasted in his
excrement, which would not be the
case with oats. Meal is the best for old
horses, but like to save the trouble,
and the miller's toll if it can be done
without loss. When the spring work
begins the most economical and the best
feed for thi team will be to cut their
hay and mix meal with it. Rye meal is
the cheapest and they will he fed on it
mixed with little ground oats and oat-
meal. An old horse which had the
heaves badly was fed one spriEg Moth
ing but oats soaked and swelied in wa

hard work Three pecks day was all
he required. There was no trouble on
account OF the horse. If he had been al
lowed to eat hay he could not have
worked at all.-Rural New Yorker.

EDITOR HERALD The WEEKLY HER.
AID is the only paper that has reached
here for some time, and is always wei
come in our town, but it is hoped to
have the DAILY circulated ON both sides
OF the river. This place is situated
about one mile from the river and has
some appearance Of becoming one OF the
thriving towns of the West.
The Atlantic and Pacific is some TWEEN
ty miles east of here and advancing very
rapidly. The bridge is being pushed with
haste, and in few days California and
Arizona will be connected by rail in the
northern part, where some of the best
mines are located. At this place the
railroad company have made some
grand improvements and are at present
at work on the Round house. There
are thirteen tracks, including a spur
which runs to the river. where the com
pany are to build dock at which steam
ers are to land.
Murphy and Monaghan, two old con-
ductors of the Southern Pacific, are run
ming q store at this place and doing a
good business.
1t looks as though there might be a
city here soon. Nearly every one has
located and staked out lots and intend
to hold them.
Fruit sells well and brings good fig
ure oranges, two for twenty five cents,
and lemons three. Flour sells at 50 per
sack of 100 pounds. As the growth of
the town of Colorado advances, you will
hear from this point.

There appears to be a difference OF
opinion about the United States Land
Law with regard to obtaining govern
ment land by planting trees thereon.
Several persons have requested to have
the provisions of the law published.
Under the timber culture act an ap-
plicant is entitled to 100 acres on any
section naturally devoid of timber; the
whole section must be devoid of timber.
On one section only one timber claim
can be taken. 1t requires eight years
to acquire title. Actual residence is
not required. The first year five acres
must be broken. Second year he must
cultivate these five and break five more.
Third year he must plant the first five
acres. Fourth year he plants the second
five acres in trees, which make the ten
acres. On the day of final proof $3.50
trees must be living.
This will require the trees to be placed
eight feet apart and is an easy way to
get a farm. Enough eucalyptus seed
can be picked in ten minutes in our
groves to plant the ten acres. Probably
some young men will cut this out, put
it in their pocket. subscribe for the
HERALD and go and get a farm.
