The American Cattle Journal SAYS:
where trees or shrubs are set in
habitually dry ground, a pail or two of
water, applied when the trees are set
and when the hole is two-thirds filled
in, will be beneficial. II the hole he
then filed with loose earth and a mulch
OF straw added, the roots will be likely
to keep moist throughout the season,
and the ground will not become packed
on the surface."
A pillow which will break up the bot

earth out is a proper implement for sub

not to throw out the yellow clay. A.

"THE UNIVERSAL PRovIDER.'
A Queer London Institution.
WI. SmalleY in the New York Tribune.

VI W. siilalltS III INC new YORK lIlDun0.
The great fire in Whitley's on Satur-
day is remarkable for more reasons
than one. Humane presence of mindin
the policeman who ordered the two
hundred horses to be cut loose deserved
more honor than it has received. The
papers do not ever print the police
mans name. The loss was half Il mil
lion sterling, and the fact that a fire of
that magnitude in a crowded neighbor-
hood was got under control in a few
hours-in fact never allowed to extend
beyond the building in which it began
is honorable to the fire brigade which
Capt. Shaw commands.
Whiteley's is an immense store, the
owner of which finds pleasure in de-
nominating himself the Universal Pro-
WIDER. The growth of this great es-
Enlistment has impoverished num-
bers of small tradesman. Its owner is
hated accordingly; all the more so be-
cause he begun business by cutting
down prices, and has continued to I'M
dersell his lesser rivals. Between this
hatred and the occurrence of three fires
on Whiteley's premises within less than
two years, some people think there is .
connection of cause and effect. There
is n oproof, and the suspicion is a easily
one, but | am told it is pretty commonly
credited by Whiteley's customers.
Little or nothing, however, will you
hear of this in print. And yet the in
t%erviewer has seen Mr.. Whiteley. I say
THE" interviewer because there is, so
fan as [ know, but one in London, and
there is some reason to suppose he will
for a time continue to be the only one.
Mr.. Wiliteley tells his story in On inter
esting way. it is an old story,-the
story of a nan who comes to London
with a e5 note in his pocket and an idea
in his head. Mr.. Whiteley's IDEAS
grew in number with prosperity,
but he still SUM them up I'M
der the commonplace heads. Homes

and No Credit. Besides which he went
to Sunday school, and will not sell milk
because it involves Sunday labor: on the

can count, and he employs 5000 men

toned, there is no article for which, he

the ordinary course" And just as read
lily after big fire as before, it is but a
portion of this huge concern which the
flames have consumed.
A story used to be curreut of q bet
between two men at q club that an
order could be sent to Whiteley which
he would not execute. The order was
for a second-ha coffin and it was
filled. The loser of the bet inquired
Of Mr. Whiteley how the coffin came to
justify its description as secondhand.

Small Feet Not Beautiful

This clatter about small feet is all
nonsense" said g fashionable shoemak-
er yesterday. II saw an interview with
a shoemaker in the Mail and Express
last week, in which it was SAID that a
certain lady had the prettiest foot in
New York because she weighed 100
pounds and yet wore only a number one
shoe. That lady had the homeless foot
in New York to my Judgment, and 1 am
a connoisseur in feet. A small foot is
more usually a deformity than a beau
ty."
"Why?" asked the reporter.
Because it is usually disproportion.
monstrosity. A perfectly beautiful
woman's foot should be in length a lit
tie less than one seventh of her height.
The foot, moreover, is the base, the
support of the body, and it should
be neither too small to support it, nor,
for beauty's sake, seem to be Sc. I'm
agine $50 pounds of flesh over two little
number II feet. I've got an artistic
eye for such things, and the dispropor-
ton make me shudder. The most beau
tiful foot known is that of the Venus di
Medici. 1t is neither e short nor
very narrow, and, although the Venus
is q rather small woman, she would find
a number two shoe decidedly uncomfort-
able. The model Of that foot never
wore a shoe. You hear lots of talk
about the big feet of Chicago girls.
That shows that Chicago girls are eth ar
very tall Or very sensible. There is NOT
a pretty foot in New York. Ihave been
measuring ladies feet for thirty years
in this city, and have failed to find a
really pretty foot yet. My artistic taste
has often prompted me to goto Chicago,
where the feet must be prettier than the
number two feet of the New York ladies
unless the New York ladies are phenom-
enally short in height

every. They impede the circulation
OF blood. With tight shoes and tight
lacing our women will produce a very
thin-blooded generation. Tight shoes
destroy grace and cause an awkward
walk. Ii you want to acquire the gait
of q dude, just get a pair of pointed
shoes two sizes too small for you and
hold out your arms"
"Can you describe a perfect foot?'
"a perfect foot must be, as I said be-
fore, a little less in length than one
seventh the height of the woman. 1t
should be arched on the top. 1t should
be broadcast across the ball, and the toes

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
Cookery

4 high authority in cooking recon-
mends that, when baking custard, you
should set the basin or pudding-dish
containing it into another dish filed
with hot water; this keeps the temper
ature more even, and the danger of
scorching is entirely done away with. A
more delicate flavor is insured also.
The ideal and most unattainable ice
cream is made by following this recipe:
Two quarts of cream (not MILK, one
pound of pulverizcd sugar, two eggs,
Beat the eggs: then beat the sugar with
them; then the cream. Let this just
come to u boil; then remove from the
fire, flavor with vanilla, strainit through
q very fine sieve, or, if you have none, a
clean new piece Of cheese cloth will an
swer in place of one. When cool put it
in the freezer and freeze, stirring until
it is too hard to turn any longer.
The ordinary pressed veal is greatly
improved in flavor if equal parts of veal
and of beef tongue are pressed together.
The meat should be chopped quite fine
and thoroughly seasoned with pepper
AMI salt. Press with your hands very
hard as you put the meat into the bowls
intended for it. They should be but
tered so that the meat will turn out
smoothly. Slice it thin, and garnish
the platter with water cress, or with
small lettuce leaves.
Hominy Fritters help make variety
for the breakfast table. Boil the hon.
my the day before, then take two tea
cupfuls of it and stir a small cupful of
sweet milk and q little salt with it, and
Il egg, four tablespoonfnls of flour,
with half q tablespoonful Of baking
powder. Have your frying pan ready
with the fat hot in it; drop this batter
in by %spoonfuls, and fry a delicate
brown. The flavor is better if halfbut-
ter and half lard is used, rather than all
lard.
CoDFIsH WITH CREAM.-Soak the fish
over night. In the morning let it sim
mer on the FIRE one hour; drain it in a
colander; pick it i'll small pieces; put it
in asaucepan with q pint of boiling milk,
n tablespoonful of butter, a DESSERT
spoonful of prepared -four and half a cup
of cold milk. mixed together. Add to
the fish and let it come to q boil. Re
move from the lire, stirin an egg beaten
to a froth. Serve Immediately.
LEMON MARMALADE.-Slic the lemons
very thin, only taking out the seeds
add three pints of cold water to each
pound of fruit after being cut into
pieces; let it stand twcnty-four hours
boil it until tender, pour intoan earthen
bowl until the following day, weigh it,
and to every pound of boiled fruit add
l4pounds Of lump sugar, boil the whole
together TIL the syrup jellies and the
chips are rather transparent.
BREAKFAST PuFEs.-Two cupfuls of
milk, two cupfuls of flour three eggs
beaten separately. half c teaspoonfnl of
salt. Add gradually to the beaten yelks
the -four and the milk; add the whites
last; half filling each one. Before put
ting in the batter butter and heat the
pans on the range. Bake in a hot oven
and serve as 5000 rs baked. .

Sauces for Meats.

A sauce is a great addition to every
variety Of meat, whether roasted. boiled,
or fried, and in most cases 1T is abso-
lutely necessary. There IRE literally
but two sauces, the white and brown
| from these come all the varieties suited
to each kind Of meat and every mode of
cooking it. The brown sauce is simply
a rich stock, well favored with vegetn-
bles and herbs, and thickened with
burned flour; or some OF the juices re-
naming in the pan in which the meat
nns been fried or roasted, treated the
same way, and thinned with boiling
water. This sauce may be varied by
adding o little mushroom powder, or .
few chopped oysters are excellent with
beef or veal. Worcestershire sauce or
picked walnuts, chopped, go admira-
bly, with pork chops.
There are so many ways to vary the
seasoning of sauces as to make even the
same dish a change. 1t is well, there
fore to invest a little money in these
things, which would save an immense
amount of worry at the last minute.
For instance, lay in q stock of capers,
olives, pickles, walnnts, catsup, a pack
age OF compressed vegetables, and a few
bay leaves. Mushromo powder can
easily be made, and its uses are infinite.
Sifted lghlly over steaks OF chops it is
delicious. Take a quality of large,
fresh mushrooms, look them over care
fully to see that they are not wormy;
cleanse them with a piece of flannel
from sand or grit. Peel them and Pit
them in the sun or cool oven to dry.
They require q long, slow drying, and
must be reduced to a state to crumble.
Keep them in an air tight jar.

che Expsrimeutal Plot.

A correspondent sends in the follow
ing sensible advice: ut would be, well
if every cultivntor OF the soil would set
aside a suitable piece OF ground for the
trial of such new grams or vegetables
rs are in line with the crops he is accus-
toned to raise. In this experimental
plot he en- plant or SOW whatever seems
likely to prove of value. A large
area or m extended list is not
desirable, but each year let some
thing be placed on trial. A pound
of potatoes, a pint of oats or beans
or corn, II few packages of vegetable
seeds, a new variety of melon or GU
cum!'er or squash, anything that inter
est may prompt or fancy dictate, may
find place on the trial ground. The
chances are, it is true. chat novelty will
prove in no particular better than the
old sorts, but here and there d prize
will turn up that will pav the cost a
hundred-foid. The outlay will not be
great. and a reasonably return may be
looked for in any event. But the money
consideration is not the only or
principal one The chief value of such
experiments lies in the interest that at
tends them, and the variety they give tc
farm life"

The fowls should have q few pills made
of soap and linseed-meal but no other

water. The house should be cleaned
out and we'll busted with dry air-siaked

so that they will breathe some OF the
dust. If this is done early in the fdaG
and again in the %spring-the cleaning
should be done weekly-the fowls VIII
not have this disease.
Do not plant watermelons too closely
together. If you have plenty OF seeds,
plant a dozen in a hill, and cut off the
weaker plants until but two or three at
most are left. 1t is as easy to cut oil the
young plants with a pair OF scissors as
to pull them up, while the roots OF the
remaining plants are not disturbed.
Gut out the raspberry suckers as you
