heard some extremely favored persons the
other day grooming like galley slaves There
had been dinner the day before of fifteen
courses with the usual accessories of flowers and
candles According to their account. after sew
eral courses had been disposed Of they grew
actually hungry Hope arose at the appearance
of small silver saucepans covered and steaming
hot. These were eagerly opened, and peering
through the steam all that was to be seen was
hashed drumsticks in melted butter. There had
been ball the night before and not one of
these now angry, as well as hungry, people
could be persuaded that the dinner had not been
served by the prudent caterer out of the waste
of the entertainment the night before. Then
followed much talk. The only times when their
appetites are really satisfied according to the
evidence, is when they dine at home. And as
this they rarely do, they are either in of two
states They are half starved, or filled to dis
comfort Now both comparative starvation and
safety are the death of pleasure, so you can
imagine the wretched state of these people. The
end of this discussion was that dinners of num-
erous courses were vulgar. After all, one could
only eat SO much and to provide more than that
was uncomplimentary, if nothing more. And
certainly to provide fifteen courses in which
everything was alike tastless, and from which
ones guests arose after several hours still
hungry, was a Barmecidan feast with all the
modern improvements.

Extraordinary Development of Domestic
Animals by General Pleasanton.
Philadelphia Press
An interesting feature of the agricultural fair
will be a group of domestic animals offered by
General A. j. Pleasanton, of blue-glass fame
This exhibit will comprise colts, heifers, pigs
and poultry, which have been raised on General
Pleasanton's farm under the blue glass treat
ment. The object is to demonstrate the extra
ordinary developments which have been achieved
in raising farm stock under the influence of the
associated blue and Transparent glass. The
General claims that colt born under these asso-
ciated lights, on June 6, 1881, and now three
years and two months old, has obtained devel-
opment of bone. muscle and form which will
compare favorably with the majority of colts of
five years of age. The heifers, under similar in
auences, have been reared in contra distinction
to the rearing of special animals from the British
channel islands in special strains, by intermin-
Cling the progeny Of different crosses upon a
third cross.
The cross of the Chester County White and
English Berkshire pigs produced variety SUI
perior to either in prolific bearing beauty of
form and delieacy Of flesh. A SOW of this cross
produced three litters in ten months under the
influence of these lights. In poultry yield of
eggs and the increased size of the birds manifest
a large development much greater than under
the ordinary treatment.
General Pleasanton will also contribute col
lection of books and pamphlets on blue glass to
the Electrical Exhibition.

Love and Red Hair in Boston.

Boston GIobe.
A very bright young white man has become
completely infatuated with handsome colored
girl in the community She resisted his advances
so persistently, on the well taken grounds Of the
difference in their races, that he became almost
frantic from despair He sat on the pickets of
her fathers back fence and moped for long
time until finally bright idea struck him The
only barrier between them was difference in
color. Could it not be remoYedl He flew from
the pckets on the wings of Love, and when he
again returned he was entirely unrecognizeable,
having undergone the transformation which ne
gro impersonators in the minstrel shows expe-
rience before the performance In spite Of the
piteous appeals of his friends he has persisted in
his refusal to remove the coat of tan from his
face ever SINCE and declares that he will win his
beloved or dye, or remained dyed in the attempt.
His picture, as he sits upon the pickets of her
fathers back fence, is now being taken by
special artist There is only one drawback to
his appearance. He has red hair.

Two Styles Of Preaching.

There are two styles of preaching.
One unfolding the truth as you would
unfold an umbrella, SO that it shall not
touch anybody. It is delightful to get
under it. and look up as the rain beats
down. The other way lis to spread the
truth like leaven. The one commends
itself to the tastes of men, and the other
to their consciences When the preach
ing is DONE, they forget the preacher
and the sermon. But the man who
deals with the conscience, as well as che
truth. is che man they send for when
they are dying. There are two styles
of preaching. The one spreads the truth
as salesman does the web of dry goods,
dilates on its beauty, shows its fineness,
enlarges on the measurement, and
people. come and take it away, and do
what they please with it. The other
takes the truth and pavsShe tailor with
it, and fits it to the nel the day and
hour tits. not SO pleasant, but better
for the men who listen. There are two
styles of preaching. One. takes She
seed truths, and puts them in elegant
glass bottles. and ranges them system
atically along the shelves, and labels
them, and seals them, and men love to
look at them. The other takes the
plough, and breaks the soil, casts in the
seed and covers it and from that, kind
of preaching you get harvest. This is
practical and personal preaching.
Christ was practical preacher Philos-
ophy spreads truth out. Christianity
spreads truth II like 1earen. Paul was
personal, pro sical preacher.-Rsu. O.

Pastures.

The best pasturage is afforded bv q
moderate grade of upland with q close,
strong sward. The soil should be firm
and naturally fertile.
Pastures are often spoiled by turning
ON stock too soon after seeding.S The
GRASS roots should have time to become
firmly set and in vigorous growth before
the grass is cropped. The fibrous and
deep-rooted varieties OF grasses are the
hest for permanent pasture.
Care should be taken not to overstock
the land. An area that will support q
certain number of animals in the most
favorable season of the year may fail to
furnish enough pasturage for the hot
and dry months.
Il is the best plan, where possible. to
have have different fields enclosed and
aenarted from each other, so that
change of pasturage may be had at diff
ferent times during the season. The
animals will be more thrifty under such
circumstances. the land retains its
s4reneth longer and the grass will not
run out SO soon
With the best pasturage it is needful
that dairy cattle should have an
: ABUNDANT supply of pure water on their
range, easy of access. There is scarce
Sv ANYTHING that SO quickly affects the
character Of milk and butter as water
from stagnant sloughs and mud-holes.
