Economical Hatchinp.

An Ohio man, after giving his unsatis-
factory experience withincubators, tells
how he Matched chickens with success
and economy by using turkey hens.
"Last spring, he says az had one rear
ing chickens, and she laid fifteen eggs
and then wentto Matching her own eggs.
The chickens would go and hunt feed
and ONE back to her, and at night they
would all gather around her to sleep.
When she would go off to feed and wa
ter they would all go with her and en-
Joy the trip as if there was no Matching
going on. She was a perfect mother to
them all. This was the grandest sight
| ever saw in the poultry business, and
hereafter l shall do all my Matching and
rearing in this way, and not waste good
eggs with fidgety old hens or expensive
lncubatOrs and thermometers to regrl-
late the heat with, and lose sleep at
night, etc. When once started YOU can
hatch all the chickens You want. Mind.
after the first lot of chicks are taken out
you can fill in a new lot of eggs, using
the remaining turkeys again, and 50 on,
using as many turkeys or as few us you
may, for many or few eggs"

AUSTRIA's EMPRESS.
a Royal Beauty and Her whims and Sac
rifces.

The empress is at once proud ant
capricious, and in some ways is one OF
the most interesting, as well as e%xtraor.
binary, women OF her rank that the cen.
fury has produced, writes a correspon-
dent from Vienna. She is equally
proud of her hair, and her figure, the
first being as abundant as a Magdalen't
the latter as slender as O girls. The
former she wears as loosely as possible.
the latter she tightens Us much as she
can. Her waist belts used to be shown
rs curiosities in exhibitions. They
measured only Is inches in circumfer-
ence. | can remember but II Other
woman with q waist so small,
The emperor has always been amodel
husband, so far as admiration for his
wife's beauty is concerned. He is re.
ported to have said ON II occasion that
the Empress Eugene might be the
most beautiful woman in the world il
there were not my wife"
When the Shah of Persia travelled
some years ago in Europe, the empress
of Austria was the only sovereign who
would not receive him. She shut her
self up in a country castle all the time
that he was in Austria. She never
could be induced to go to Paris during
the empire, the style of living at the
Tuileries not being to her taste. A short
time ago, also, when passing through
Paris, she would not go to the EIysel
to return the presidents visit. She
never follows q fashion, it is said. but
makes her own fashions, and as all hel
inventions are suited to heI
own p~eculiarities of person, they
do nOt become many Other
women. 1t was she who introduced the
a~bominable fash ion of high ~shouldere1
sleeves fulled in on the shoulders, 8
fashion which does little credit to hen
artistic taste, to say the least.
Altogether, however, Austria is proud
of its empress, who, take her for all il
all, is a wonderfully attractive woman
of her age. [ must add that no woman
ever studied her own beauty so much as
the empress does. Every hour OF the
day is employed in its conversation
She rises by daybreak and goes to bed
at dark. to keep her complexion clear.
and she spends her days on horseback
to keep her figure trim. Her food and
drink are carefully regulated, and fol
the same object. This Is certainly bet
ter than painting her face. but it IS .
life Of sacrifices which few Women would
be willing to lead. even for beauty's
sake.

LAVE of Trespass.

There seems to be n great difference
of opinion in regard to the laws of tres
pass, and the rights possessed by the
owners Of Property. Some people think
that You have the right to shoot a dog,
a cat, fowls, pigeons, etc, coming up
on your premises; but he has no such
right. His remedy is to go to tho law
for damages, and he has no right to take
the law into his w hands. Some time
ago a person in a neighboring county
poisoned a ~trespassing dog, and was ar
rested. He freely admitted doing it.
and attempted to show that he had the
right to do so. The court and Jury dis
agreed with him, and, as he had no
money, he was sent to Jail for three
months. Another case occurred in Ger
mantown a number of years ago. A
neighboring sporting citizen was hunt
ing cartridges with a fine setter dog on
which he placed great store. The dog
was shot by a sporting farmer While
hunting on his promises, and the act.
being proved, the defendant undertook
to show tibet the dog was unknown to
him, and at best was n nuisance. But
this was quickly disproved, and after a
trial of two or three days the defendant
was beaten, the jury ddjudging the full
value of the dog about forty dollars

Farm Brevities.


Horatio Seymour has recently written
a letter warmly encouraging the plant
ing of wild cherry for lumber uses. 1t
makes a rapid, straight growth, and its
wood is likely to be more and more
valuable, as it is capable of high polish.
Mr.. Seymour has one fine old tree of
this variety shadinghis house which has
grown up within the last forty years,
and he has many other trees planted in
various places on his farm.
According to DR.. J. G. Peters, it is
filth that causes most of the diseases Of
domestic animals. WTe mentions par
ticularly the habit of allowing bedding
II N to accumulate under the
horse and other animals in stables. The
impure air thus generated is peculiarly
well adapted to injure the health of the
animals compelled to breathe it.

so be carefully prepared. The gum and

or by soaking in brine till the wood is
saturated and then filing the cask with

The Good of Lime.

1t is not often that so exact, and lucid
a statement of an agricultural, scientific,
and practical facts is found in a mechan-
ical trade journal as the following.
which is found in the Glassware Re
porter: Lime has been used for many
centuries as a fertilizer of the soil; all
crops require a certain amount of it, as
is found by Analysing the ash which re-
suits from their combustion it promotes
the decomposition of all kinds of vege-
table matter in the soil, and, further, it
corrects aeidity in the organic matter
and thus destroys those weeds which
are favored by such a condition of the
soil; it also assists in the decomposition
of certain salts whose bases furnish food
for plants" Many long articles have
been written by agricultural professors
and others, which have not left so ac-
curate and clear and idea in the readers
mind of the uses and benefits of lime as
this single sentence.

The invasion of women, which IS the

advanced another step at Oxford last
week, when congregation agreed, by
100 votes against 46, to admit women to
several university examinations. The
girls will not-yet, at least-be exam
lned in the new schools with the under
graduates, but they will have the same
papers and the same examiners, and
their class lists will be drawn up on the
same standard. The lady students at
Cambridge have for some time been ex-
amined in this way, and there was obvi-
ously no reason why their sisters ut
Oxford should not be put in the same
position. The opponents of the scheme,
moreover, were divided among them
selves, some of them arguing that as
ONE were so notoriouslv inferior to
men 1t would be unkind to subject them
to the same examination, while others
(headed by Canon Liddon) thought that
the change would be unfair to the men.
because women were foreordained to ne
their "helpmates, and not their riyals,'

many ladies present during the debate
that many of the doas could not find

gested TO Dr.. Liddon the possible dis,

NOTES FOR THE Farm AND HOUSE.


A good recipe for a loaf cake is con-
tributed by a constant reader" -Four
cups of sifted -four, three cups Of powd-
cred sugar, four eggs, one cup of sweet
milk, n glass of colorless wine, one
nutmeg grated, a t%easpoonful of CHINA
mon, and q small teaspoonful of soda
dissolved in a little hot water; stir il
briskly, so that the ingredients will be
thoroughly mixed before putting into
the tin. Put a buttered paper in the
tin.-New York Post.
PABKER HOUSE RoLLs.-One pint
of milk, one tablespoonful of lard
one of butter, one teaspoonful of
salt, one tablespoonful of sugar; mix
together and boil in a porcelain kettle;
then add flour sufficient to make a light
sponge, as if for cake. When cool, but
not quite cold, add a compressed yeast
cake, or a part of one, and set to rise.
If this is done at 10 A. NJ, the mixture
will be ready to knead about / p. NJ,
n will be light enough to make into
roIls at 4 P. NJ. and ready for the oven,
which should be hot, at 5 2. M.

A delicious pudding is made in this
way: Weigh six ounces each of sugar,
butter and flour; heat the butter until
1t rs as soft as cream, then add the SUI
gar, and then the yelks of four eggs
well-beaten, and lastly the whites also
well-beaten, the grated rind of a small
lemon, and if you choose to put in q
dozen almonds hat are blanched and
pounded fine, it will be a great addi-
ton. Fill small tins or cups about
half full of this mixture, let them stand
on the back af the range or in some
warm place for ten minutes or until
they have risen, then bake them for
half an hour. Serve with a sweet sauce
which will be improved by the addition
OF fruit; c~urrants, raisins OF lam are
excellent.-N. Y. Post.
BEEF A LA MoDE.-Four to
six pounds of round of beef,
larded with narrow strips of salt pork.
Put into a stewpap which has a tight
cover. Season with salt and pepper
and fill up with two quarts of boiling
water or meat stock. Add to this after
it has cooked slowly for two hours, two
onions, half a carrot, half a turnip, two
tablespoonfuls of vinegar, two cloves,
a few alspices and pepper corns, a sprig
of parsley. Vegetables are to be
chopped and cookedin three tablespoon
fuls of butter for five or ten minutes.
Watch carefully that it does not burn,
and turn it if necessary, adding also
more water if needed. When If has
cooked nearly four hours, take out the
meat, skim off as much fat from the
gravy as possible. A little tomato sauce
is very nice added. Strain and serve
in sauce-boat, or around meat.

LOTTERIES AND PRESENTS. Every
sensible person should recognize the
fact, when anything is offered for sale,
no matter what it may be-a
book, medicines, pianos, or jack-knives
for a certain sum of money, and gifts
are offered as a bonus or inducement to
purchase, that the thing offered is not
worth the money asked for it. This
conclusion cannot be avoided if one will
only think for a momeat. As this is not
a regular business transaction, the pur.
chaser of anything so offered cannot be
surprised if he should find out that he
has been deceived and hasbeen led into
a trap by means of a bait. If there is
any chance about the distribution of
these gifts it becomes a lottery. and is
simply gambling. The laws against
lotteries are now properly becoming
very strict, and so far as morality is con-
cerned the buyer of a chance is equally
blamable as the offerer of it. Farmers
are especially sought by persons who
deal in these practices, as they are be-
lieved to be more than usually foolish
OF dishonest. 1t is to be hoped that
they will resent this unjust imputation
by letting such business severely alone.
