Hints To Farmers.

An address before the students Of the Col
umbia Veterinary College was delivered
lately by DR.. c. X. Agnew From his own
experience in farming he offered four sug-
gestlons which, though addressed to young
veterinary physicians, are worthy Of general
perusal. First, dryness Of the dwelling
house and provisions against .sground air -
second, great care as TO the sewerage of the
house third, proper arrangements for car
rying of the sewerage Of the barn, and the
entire disuse ofthe BARNARD IN its present
form; fourth. clean and roomy pig-sty.
where the pig, naturally clean animal. NAV

Of mud and filth.

The present condition of the atmos-
phere continuing into dog days, the proba-
bility is there will be considerable rusty
straw, this year, and this is not fit for stock
especially horses, 10 use as food. Rusty
straw induces diseases : it vitiates the blood,
reduces the condition OF the animal, takes
away the appetite and opens the door for COL
ic, skin diseases, swellings and fevers. The
stock does not thrive, is sickly, and the
owner wonders why they winter so poorly.
Often this is traceable to the slow but sure
poison of rusty straw and moldy hay. Use
these only for litter and pinch the stock for
food, if necessary, rather than give them
blood poison.

Men are not the only creatures that

Tale Of the Hotel Register.

The hotel register is an interesting
study. The caligraphy or GEOGRAPHY,
as the case may be, furnishes its quota
to the store of the student of human
nature. The mere registering OF ones
name is simple enough; but the manner
in which it is done, the writing upon
the book, often tell tale, however un-
conscious the writer may be that he is
furnishing paragraph to the observer
Mr.. Grandson Rake has been detained
down town, toying with chips until his
stake has petered out, or has, perhaps,
imbibed far too freely to encounter at
carly morn the partner of his woes, Sc
he registers "Granison Rake, st. Louis,
although q resident of the city, taking
care to make his autograph as illegible
rs a bad pen and a shaky hand will
enable him to do. He does not deceive
the clerk, who slows him away under
the roof, as q matter of course.
AS q rule, Americans register their
names simply, without indicating that
they have or not 'handle" to them.
The signer may be honorable, major,
Judge, or colonel, but he does not, in
his republican simplicity, see fit to
herald his dignities. II with his wife,
he registers land wife" or ''and lady"
although some hotels object to this
latter designation as too vague. The
Englishman is more particular, and,
when with his better half, inscribes her
and himself as "Mr. and Mrs."
Each nation has its peculiar hand
writing. An agglomeration of thin and
thick strokes is Enthusiastically Amer
loan, while the Briton's strokes are of the
same thickness throughout, and conse-
quently more legible. French, Spanish,
and Italian handwritings are minute,
and often degenerate into an unde-
cipherable scrawl, but all are careful
to notify whom it may concern that
they are barons or counts. Celebrities
of the stage and of the drama seldom
contribute to the hotels collection OF
autographs. '.Mme Voce d'Oro and
maid" have their names put down by
the impresario or by the clerk, while
Sig. Sparafucile, the great tenor, and
equally great beer drinker, blots the
register, and draws on it pattern fol

ing that, although 81 beautiful voice
is q gift of God," rs Nine. Patti IL
wont to inscribe in albums, tenor's
handwriting is assuredly not. Ameri
can military men are in the habit o.
merely appending U. S. A. to thoil
names, thus failing to indicate their ranl
or to givea clew as to their Identity -
Occasionally some distinguished per

Evolutions of the American Hotel.

Exactly fifty-two years ago, when
Fanny Kemble first came to this coun-
try, sho records that the universal din
ing hour in New York was 8 o'clock,
after which the hotel cooks and SER
wants cleared off the tables, cleared
out themselves, and it was impossible
to obtain anything fit to eat for love or
money. At that time the American
Hotel, at which she stayed, was the
best in the city, though MIR. John Jacob
Astor, whom she calls "the millionaire
of New York" Gas If he was the only
one thcm), was about to remedy the
deficiency by building a magnificent
hotel, which soon after he did. The
Mansion House in Philadelphia was
considered excellent; SO was Cozzens'
establishment at West Point; but Miss
Fanny thought the fremont In Boston.
by far the best hotel then existing in
America. She has lived to see In New
York alone a multitude of magnificent
hotels which are surpassed in no city
In Europe.

A Dual Existence.

A woman, giving her name as Mrs.
O'Brien Luttrell, living at Stony Road,
Paterson, N. j., was before the Record
err of that city to invoke his assistance
in relieving her from peculiar affiic-
ton. She says there is society of
men who have the power of taking
away the souls of people and subjecting
these souls to all sorts of unpleasant
treatment, returning them to their
owners when through with them. Her
soul has thus been taken away at times
and she wants this sort of thing stop
ped. About two years ago her soul
was taken away from Patterson to India
one night, and was there dragged into
chapel and united in marriage to a
British colonel. She is now the mother
of a spiritual boy, l year old, who is a
fine, healthy little fellow, but she is
not permitted to bring him into the re-
alstic world, much as she desires to do
so, to show him to her friends.
The woman, who is represented as in
other respects perfectly sane and kind
and affectionate, thus lives a strange
double existence, one phase of which is
to her rs real as the other. It's incon-
venient at times. for some days ago
she sent for o physician to whom she
related how she had been cruelty as
saulted and beaten, So that she was
sore all over her person. He found her
bandaged from head to foot, and on
making careful examination found
not sign of injury, 1t then occurred
to her that the assault had been
made by the spirits, and that, of course,
he could not find on her natural body
any signs of their bad treatment of her
spiritual body, but she felt much pain
nevertheless. She is q single woman,
but uses on all occasions the name of
the British colonel TO whom she be-
lieves herself united spiritually. The
Recorder told her he could not issue
warrants for the arrest of the ring
leaders of the society who interfcred
with her soul, and he did not believe
any power short of the Supreme Court
of the United States could afford her
relief in the premises. She differen-
TALLY agreed with him, and says she
