A "Reminiscences of Macready.

rot only from the seats that afforded the

with him once for seveerl hours dura-

robe of the doctor, and made my first

L paid no attention to the audience, and
the audience, it is to be hoped, paid no
attention to me. But 1 gained the OBJ
lect of my experiment, that of getting a
glimpse of the matter from the actors
point OF view, comprehending the diff
ferent prospective, feeling the whirr and
hustle of the scene inside of looking at
and hearing it from a distance. Mac
beth, at my entrance, left the attendants,
to whom he was giving impatient and
imperlous orders, and, striding across
the stage with a step that seemed to
shake the boards, he stationed himself
80 near to me that all the lines in his
face appeared to be magnifed, like those
of picture to the close gaze of short
sighted man. In tones that sounded
like thunder he demanded of me that /
should minister to mind diseased and
do other things not then recognized as
within the scope of the healing art. On
receiving my disclaimer of such power
he turned his back upon me as one is
SO apt to do on the doctor who makes a
candid acknowledgment of his impo-
tency, and with that scornful ejacula-
ton which shows how littlel owe Shakes
peare had for his canine species, "Throw
physic to the dogs!" strobe back to
have his armor buckled on, turning, in
the intervals of his stormy chidipgs, to
direct some inquiry or splenetic remark
to me, and at last rushing off to meet
the approaching foe. 1t was like being
suddenly transported from the shore to
the deck of a vessel tossed by the waves
and straining beneath the gale.

Told to a Child.

1t happened that one evening Ethel's
mamma lit the nursery, instead of Min
ma, the German maid. "What makes
the light come, mammal" queried the
child, with the air of one who knew
already, but wished to test her parents
knowledge. "Why," explained mamma
rather vaguely, cit is sort of air that
burns. 1t is shut up in the pipe, and
when we turn the knob it rushes out and
we light it with match" 81 thought
you didn't know" the little one re-
marked, cor you would be more afraid
of it. know all about it. Minna told
me. A dragon lives in that pipe, and
his tongue is made out of burning fire.
He is friend of Minna's, so when she
turns the knob he just sticks out the tip
of his tongue and makes us nice little
light; but he hates children, and if
Bobby or l should turn the knob he
would rush right out in this room and
eat us all up in minute. This is true,
because Mlnna told me-" The small
narrator relapsed into satisfied silence,
and her truth-loving mamma fell to won
dering which was really better-her own
lame attempt at scientific explanation or
the highly colored fiction of German
Minna, which, while an absolute false

Feeding Westinghouse.

In early times the farmers of Pennsyl-
vania fed their large Conestoga horses
on finely ground rye meal, mixed with
shortcut rye straw; and they kept their
teams IN fine condition. We once, for
whole year, fed our teams upon pure
Underground corn meal, mixed with cut
hay, and they remained perfectly
healthy and performed work most salts
factorliy. But we do no. advise feeding
upon one kind of grain, and especially
corn, because corn contains too much
starch and too little muscle-forming
matter. But it is always best to feed a,
variety of food in the ration. As sim
gle food, oats is best, but oats and corn
are still better, and oats, corn and bar
ley better still. And whatever other
food, one pint of linseed. oil meal per day
to horse will be found to pay we'll in
health and condition. One of the best
combinations as food for horses, is 800
lbs. Of corn, 800 lbs. of oats and 100 lbs.
of fax seed, evenly mixed and all
ground together. This small proper
ton OF flax seed has most important
influence upon the digestive organs
sprevents constipation and many diseases
raising from it, keeps the coat in a soft,
glossy condition. But it should be re-
membered that all ground rations should
be fed with small portion of short cut
hay. We hope our farmers will study
this matter of feeding horses more care
fully, for it will certainly pay them well
to do Sensational Live Stock Jour-
nal.

A Burglars Confession.

A Quebec special to the Chicago

burglars now in Quebec jail awaiting the
close OF the criminal term here to be
transferred to the penitentiary to serve
out seven years sentence for the rob-
berry OF IS, 600 from city brokers' Of
flee a few months ago, has created a
great sensation throughout the city.
The confession exposes the particulars
of deep-laid and dangerous plot which
was entered into between the burglars
and local bank officer to clean out one
of the Quebec banks, and which only
some slight hitch in the arrangements
prevented from being carried out. Ac-
cording to Richardson's story, he and
his two brother burglars came on here at
the pressing instance of the bank officer
In question, who held out to them the
inducement that they could easily make
a sweeping haul out of the vaults of the
institution with which he is connected.
He was to furnish them with inprints
OF the keys, full description of the
ground and the safes, and generally all
the information needed to carry out their
nefarious designs. But, owing to un-
foreseen obstacles, the plotters were un-
able to effect the robbery the night for
which 1t was fixed, and when, it is said,
they calculated on getting off with at
least $4,000 1t was then that their

Sow with a Drill.

To the gardener who has never given
1t trial 1T would be surprise to see
how much evener and straighter seed
can be sown with good seed-drill than
by hand. Seed-drills effect not only a
saving of seed in sowing, but also of time
IN doing the work, and more than all in
the time for cultivation. They really
produce better crops because they SOW
the seed more evenly in straight row
and in much narrower line than can
possibly be done by hand. Less seed
is required to SOW the same distances.
and by sowing regularly all the space is
occupied, and if the seed is of good
quality there is no necessity of there
being vacant spots in the row.
Every gardener, and especially be-
ginner, knows how difficult it is to take
fine seeds between the fingers and SOW
them evenly along the row. You are
very apt to SOW some places very thick.
other spots thin, and skip some places
entirely, while you will probably scatter
the seeds-that is, instead of placing
them in narrow line, as is desirable,
they will be scattered in row two
inches or 80 wide; this is especially the
case with the lighter seeds. The uni
form depth that a seed-drill covers the
seed is also an important point to be
considered, as it is almost as much of a
task to cover seeds to an even depth as
it is to SOW them.
Most Of the seed-drills now manufact-
ured are adapted not only for sowing and
covering the seed, but are also of great
value for cultivating the plants after they
make their appearance above ground.-.
