The average railroad man on the Maine
Central Is well Informed and can readily
tell you how to reach any given point even
II it is not just on the line Of the road.
For this reason was no little surprised
the other day when heard an assistant
station agent directing passenger how to
get to Calais. They were few miles east
OF Waterville and the official told the trav-
eler to 60 to Portland and there take
steamer 10 Calais. had to interfere at

was and 20 to McAdams junction aud then
run down 10 Calais. The whole trip would
take but IL hours while the other route
would occupy two days.
A stage driver who recently took new

People are the strangest acting animals
on the face OF the earth. The other day
heard of a man who gave his property to
married daughter on condition that she
should give him a life maintenance.
Things went lovely for while as they al
ways do under such circumstances but
soon there arose trouble, as there usually
does In like cases and as the saying Is the
hottest love IL the soonest cold, SO the dot
ing father of this PAIR soon became sub
ject Of losthing and year ago the last
word between them was spoken. They
eat ut the same table and live and sleep un-
der the same roof, but the father never
speaks to his daughter nor the son-in-law
to his father-in law. The grim angel of
death would have no terror to hat family.

CURING GREEN GRASS.
An Experiment which Has the Flavor
Authority.

An Experiment Which Has the Flavor Of
Authority.
DR.. Voelcker cut green clover. car
ried it at once from the field. and stored
it in barn NOW in alternate LAYERS
with dry straw. The mass soon began
to ferment and heat and give out moist
ure. which was absorbed by the straw.
The fermentation soon spread to the
straw. which became moist and mod
erately hot, and thus underwent a sort
of cooking or steaming under consider
able pressure. The whole mass thus
passed through much the same process
as the green fodder does in silo. but
not so far as to produce any alcoholic
or acetic fermentation. or to, lose any
of its valuable properties for feeding.
1t did not heat sufficiently to change
the color of the clover, which gradually
dried. retaining its fresh odor and
greenness and all its native sweetness
and nutriment. The effect really was
to increase the digestrbility of the clover
to q small extent. and thus make it
more valuable for feeding, while the
digestibility of the straw was consider
ably increased. and it was made far
more palatable by reason of its alb
sorption of the odor and flavor of the
clover.
The mixed fodder was cut and fed to
cows and fattening oxen with the usual
rations of meal. The results were
that the COWS gave an increased yield
of milk which was improved in quail
ity. and the cattle gained in flesh and
fat to a greater extent than when fed
upon the common hay alone The
tables of analyses of the mixed fodder
showed that tho indigestible matter
was reduced in quantity, while the
sugar and the other d'gestible nutrients
increased in amount much more thar
was sufficient to pay for the labor Of
handling over the straw. This. how
ever. was very little. as nothing more
was required than 10 move the straw
from one NOW to another and spread 10
over the green clover, and this labor
was much less than would have been
required to spread and dry the clover
in the field. There was in fact con-
siderable saving of labor in the process
as will be evident to every practical
reader. just now this is q timely sub
ject.. The clover and grass are ready
for cutting. and all the risks Of the
hay field are to be met. The meadows
are yielding heavy crop. The sub
jet of ensilags is evoking much

Dark.Eyed Ladies' Of Linn,

The ladies of Lima are all eyes.
They have the reputation of being as
a class the most beautiful in the
world, and. meeting them on the way
to mass in the morning, or shopping
later in the day, one can easily see how
they obtained it; but knowing them
in their homes, the opinion changes,
and you conclude, after calm reelection
that they are not so pretty as the
women of New York. 1t is the
manta, which they wear in such
coquettish way, that gives them their
reputation for beauty, for it conceals
every feature except their bewitching
eyes and lovely olive complexion. No
matter how ugly her mouth or her
nose is; no matter how high her cheek
bones or large her ears; no matter
whether she is as scrawny as scare.
crow or as bald as a bat, a "manta"
will make any woman with pretty eyes
look handsome, and, like charity, it
covers a multitude of sins.
This garment, which is peculiar tc
Peru, and is worn by ladies of all ages,
and social positions, from the Presi-
dents wife to the laundress who
comes after your linen, is a sort of
1oster-sister to the mantilla of Spain.
1t is usually of crepe, from China, and
costs anywhere from $40 to $500, ac-
cordIng to its quality and the amount
OF embroidery it bears. The manta
IS always black, and is not square like
the ordinary shawl, but rectangular.
Wealthy people wear them with deem
SILK fringe. or an edge of rare point
lace, while the poorer classes are salts
he'd with a little strip of lace, how
ever cheap, stitched on to one edge of
it. so as to fall over the forehead wher
1t is worn. When the garment is put
on, this lace is adjusted nicely so that
it will just reach the eye-lashes, and
then the long end of the manta is
thrown over the left shoulder. and
fastened by pin at the small of the
back. Thus it does for bonnet. wran
md dress all in one, and it makes very
little difference what she has under it.
Tor in manta the homeliest woman

Taste I'm OuOrs,

Ladies do not buy odors at random,
for their use has become distinguish
Ing feature Of their toilet. Why lust
think of it. What would be your i'm
preston of well dressed woman red
olent with the fumes of patchouli {?
You would think her q woman of loud
tastes, if not fast one, and you would
be correct. 1t is possible to locate a
lady's social position by means of
ones olfactories, for a lady of delicate
and refined tastes will use delicate
odor in pertaining herself. One of
the most fashionable perfumes now
used by ladies in New York's best So
cial circles is one of very faint but
sweet odor. Those perfumers and
chemists who have tho special trade
from Fifth avenue and adjacent fash
!onable streets sell this perfume most
exclusively. Next to it, however, are
ranked those made from two favorite
spring flowers. The distinguishing
characteristic of the perfume which
makes it so popular with society wom-
en-, is an extremely delicate odor or
combination of odors, which produces
upon the senses feeling of delight,
such as is experienced by inhaling the
odors waited from a garden full of
lowers. The perfume is a bouquet;
that is a mixture of many different
1oral extracts. --NeW York World.
