kissing Lola Montez.

John Mahon, whom in 1856 was a re-
porter on the New York Express, gives
this account of an interview with Lola
Montez: Zone day while sitting alone
with her talking on different subjects
she became excited. flung away her
cigarette (she was great smoker) and
paced wildly around the room, then
suddenl fell into chair and burst into
tears. For some moments she kept
crying and wringing her hands, and
fearing she was going into Mysteries
was about to ring for her maid, when
she stopped me. Don't said she, j
shall be better soon; but, oh, Mahon.

had my foot upon throne, / am ready
to go mad, especially at the asper-
sions cast upon my name. They say
I was mistress of the King of Ba-
varia If that were even so, it wouldbe
no disgrace, for it is considered the
highest honor to be mistress to king.
Look at Lady Jersey, Mrs. Fitzherbert.
and, later STILL Mrs Jordan. whose
children were all ennobled. But it was
not so, that's ALL L saved that mans
country and throne, and he created me
a countess, while his wife kissed me
and called down blessings on my head
as the savior of her husband. Fancy q
wife kissing her husbands mistress -
and she laughed. She then gave me 9
history of her life. Her parents died

Lieut. James, of the British army in
India: he ran away with another mans
wife, leaving his child wife to shift fo1
herself; after the Bavarian episode she

FARM, FIELD AND FIRESIDE.
Agricultural miscellany.

Unquestionably buckwheat meal
should stand at the head of the list Of
food for fattening towels. The French,
who are famous for their skill in this
direction, make this article the basis OF
their grain food. In its absence, a mix
ture of Indian and barley meal may pass
as a substitute The meal may be mixed
with skinned milk if available. A lit
tie minced green food should also be
considered necessary addition.
Perhaps no vegetable has grown SC
rapidly in public favor for the past few
years as celery. Its reputed efficacy as
a nervine has no doubt increased ifs
popularity. Everybody eats it; the
Dervous, for curative, and those in
health, as preventive. 1t is now in
its best estate and its consumption is
enormous. Cooking renders it more
digestible, but it is usually preferred in
its raw state. After removing from
the water it should be shaken dry
before sending to the table.
The farmer who finds no interest in
improving the blood of his animals is
away behind the times. Improved
breeds come to profit bearing or matur-
ity much younger than unimproved
breeds. The products for which they
are raised are also far more valuable in
the former. No one should be fright
ened from attempting improvements
because of the high prices of fashion
able families Plenty of valuable males
that would in short time double the
worth of our farm stock, can be bought
for very moderate price,

mo, ] can't say that I've had pros
porous season" observed one passenger
to another. Last spring me and my
old woman thought we'd keep summer
boarders and make some money. We
have big house, able to accommodate
eighteen people beside our own folks,
so we writ to our sons and darters IN
the city, tellin' 'em what we had de-
cided on, an askin 'em to say good
word for us to their friends. Well, we
fixed the old house up in fine shape and
waited for our boarders. Purity soon
our darter Mary came down from
town with her three children, and said
she had spoken to all her friends
about u.s. In about a week Barter En-
came with her four children. She said
the same thing. an though they wasn't
profitable boarders we hoped for u new
kind, and felt much encouraged from
what they told us. The next arrival
was my wife's sister Sal and her two
nearly grown-up children. | was
good deal discouraged then, but my old
woman braced me up by sayin' some
payin' boarders was comm and we
could 'commodate SIX more anyway.
The next arrival was my darter Eunice
with her husband and two children. They
all settled down as if they lowed to stay
all summer, an was purity badly broken
up about it. told my old woman things
were getting down to aiine point an not
much left the garden truck. She en-
couraged me by sayin we still had room
for two boarders, an we'd charge them
enough to run the whole house. Two
days afterward / saw strange man
stop and go in, an | thought luck he'd
turned at last, and killed two chickens
before / got to the house. When | did
get there / discovered he was my broth
er, Jim, who / hadn't seen for twelve
years, come to spend the summer with
me. That settled me on the summer
boarder business, though the old woman
said we still bad room for one boarder,
and by making the hired man sleep in
the barn we coud take in two, an that
would clear the house. When ] come
in from work the next night my darter
En- met me on the porch, and said
smilingly, Father, says she, we've got
two new boarders. They came this
afternoon Come up stairs and see
them Wait till dress up bit, says
L So washed, put on collar, and,
feeling good deal encouraged, went
up stairs. There was all the girls aud
my old woman. Pap, says she with
tears in her eyes, the house is full at
last. Eunice has got twins.

A Spot in the Rermudas.

The Queens Stairway, the lake that
flames up like vast sheet of damp sui
phur when an oar is thrust into it at
night, the pineapple jungles, the sponge
fishers, the gardens in plain sight be-
meath the sea-these are all very inter-
esting, though it would seem that the
climate. the luxuriant vegetation, and
the ravishing beauty, combined with
good hotel to start with. ought to be
enough. To the man who was there
five hours il constantly returns to his
mental sight like dream OF vision, of
something almost too reposeful, too
beautiful, and too strange to be real.
The prettiest spot of the whole island,
without doubt, is the little cove al
Waterloo, two miles or more from the
city. Imagine placid little bay, whose
water is colored like the rainbow, framed
in horseshoe of white sand, fringing
the shelving sides of hollow like
huge broken bowl of verdure. Picture
this, decked here and there with stately
palms ana broad leaved plants, orna-
mented with a pretty, toylike fort, and
few tropical country houses. Add
the blue sky above the gaudy water and
beyond, where sky and water blend to-
gether, the dark, blue ocean.--Corre-
spondence New York Sun.

Raddinp For Stock.

Look out for supply of bedding for
all the stock 1t is not only unproft-
able but it is positive cruelty to oblige
horses and cattle to lie on barn floor /;
pigs to wallow in their mud till it treez-
es; and sheep to inhalo the penetrating
odor which arise from their own drop
pings Many farmers have allowed
this for so long that they think nothing
OF it, and look upon bedding and spec
ial care as useless innovations and a
waste of time.
If dry muck or soil is not already pro-
vided, get all the leaves you can and a
good supply of sawdust. If you have a
hay cutter cut the coarse straw and
poor hay, if you cannot get anything
else for bedding The object of feed
ing hay and all food is to keep stock
warm and comfortable and growing.
1t is poor policy to let hay lie in the
barn over summer and keep the stock
poor and uncomfortable. Feed well
and bed we'll

Winter Care of Stock.

Nothing pays the farmer better thar
to prepare good comfortable quarters
for his stock during the winter season.
1t is certainly folly to keep his stock
poorly, and in cold quarters, to waste
the food consumed during the feeding
season. More than six -tenths of our
domestic animals make no gains during
the time that they are fed at the barn.
Poor quarters and poor keeping during
the cold werther account for this. Can
we afford this loss in taking care Of
our stock during the five or six
months that we keep our stock at the
barn 1t is best to have better quar-
tiers provided, give better feed, and
make some gain, instead of this loss.
Barns should be made comfortable and
water provided, not the poor stuff that
comes from the muddy frog pond, but
good clean water, and such as no man
would be afraid to drink. This is as
essential to an animal as to mankind.
To make stock thrive during winter, it
is necessary to have comfortable quar-
tiers, regular feeding hours, and regular
hours for watering. Alsoi it is we'll to
have a separate crib for each animal
provide good litter for all, keep clean
stables and keep the stock clean.

The Widows Bills.

From The Boston Courier
DIR. Kimball, of Saco, Me-, who is one
of the Oldest and most widely known
practitioners in York County, tells a
good story of himself He had atten-
ded an old gentleman during lingering
illness, and about a year after his de-
cease sent his bill, which amounted to a
considerable sum, to the widow. He re-
peated the process three times without
elicting a reply, and then called. He
was put off from time to time, until pa
thence ceased to be virtue, and then he
again called with grim determinati in
his character. Come, my good woman, !"
said he when the delinquent appeared,
II have waited long enough, and must
have my money" Fixing upon him a
look of whitening contempt and brand
ishmg her broom in his face, she replied ::
you've been here three times for that
money, but I'll pay my honest debts, |
thanks ye. before l pay my doctors
bills" The good PHYSICIAN was SO well
pleased with the logic of his debtor
that he receipted the bill on the spot.

Practical Stock-Breed1ng.

Correspondence Pennsylvania Farmer.
A scrub heifer bred to a thorough
bred bull for her first calf, and then re-
peatediy bred to the same bull, will inn
prove in her breedings so that each sue
ceeding calf will be better than the pre-
ceding one, and this to greater extent,
than if she had been bred to different
bulls, though all equally good and of
the same blood This rule holds good
with horses and sheep as well as cattle.
Stick pin right here. Ifyou are breed
ing cattle get a good bull, and keep
him. If you conclude to breed Dur
hams, do so; If Holisteins, or any 9th
er breed, do so; but don't breed to a
Durham bull one year and Holstein the
next. You must stick to one thing ii
you expect to breed good grades of
either And more than this, COW that
has once been bred to a scrub bull if
bred promiscuously to different bulls,
even Of the same breed, will never pro-
duce as good calves as she would if bred
several times in succession to the same
individual bull. The man who has good
heifers, high grades of thoroughbred,
and does not want to raise their first
calves, and who uses scrub bull because
it is cheaper, is saving pennies to-day at
the expense of dollars in the near future.
Use nothing but thoroughbred males on
all kinds of stock, and, all things being
equal, the longer you use the same ami
NAL the better ] do not mean by this
that it is advisable to use him on his
own progeny, but on the original ami
mails it may be continued indefinitely.

Estimating a woman.a Age.

A physician of long practice was re-
minded that we can Judge of a horses
years by its mouth, and asked why some
rules could not be laid down in gem
eral way, for estimating the age of q
woman. The uncertainty is not alto
gether due to deceptive practices, ac-
cording to his reply, but to the widely
varying effect of time in individuals.
AS rule brunettes look older than
blondes of corresponding age. As
to plumpness and the lack of it, fat may
be said to increase the apparent age of
a girl under 25, and to lessen it in a
woman over shat; and the reason is that
slenderness is girlish as long as it does
not produce wrinkles, while rotundity
keeps the skin taut and smooth. "In
no gathering of women strangers to you
could you guess the ages within five
years on the average" he added, "and
in half the instances you would be ten
years out of the way I know woman
of 35 with a son of IS, and when seen
together they are commonly mistaken
for brother and sister. Popular ideas
as to the ages of actresses are extrav-
agantly erroneous. / could name sew

o thou so fair in Summers gone,
While vet thy fresh and virgin soul
Inform'd the column d Parthenon,
The gittering Capitol;
So fair in Southern sunshine bathed,
But scarce of such majestic mien
As here with forehead vapor-swathed
In meadows ever green;
For thou-when Athens reign'd and Rome,
Thy glorious eyes were diIRm'd with pain
To mark in many freeman's home
The slave, the scourge, the chain;

In motion to the distant CLEAN,
HOVER blind force and brainless will
Nay jar thy golden dream,
Who, like great Nature, wouldst not mar

Tils order Of our Human Star,
his heritage of the past;
o scorner of the party cry
That wanders from the public good,
Thoa-when the Nations rear on high
Their idol smeard with blood,
And when they roll their idol down
OF saner Worship sanely proud;
Thou leather OF the lawless crown
As of the lawless crowd;
How long thine ever growing mind
Hath stlHd tho blast and strewn the wave
Though some of late would raise wind
To sing thee to the grave

Unfurnisn'd brows, tempestuous tongues

About thirty years ago Jonathan II.
Green a noted gambler, suddenly took
a dislike to his profession and gave it
up. He wrote number of books .ex-
posing the frauds practiced by the game
sters of his day. Mr.. Green soon be-
came we'll known through the country
as the reformed gambler" His pro-
fessions of reform were genuine. While
he handled cards money came easily,
and he had no difficulty in living luxur-
iouslv. In giving mp gaming he had
nothing to turn to. He was unfamiliar
with any legitimate calling, and his
services in any occupation could com
mand only moderate wages, as he was
an unskilled man. His life became a
troubled hand to mouth existence. He
never wavered and never resumed card
PLAYING. but he must at times have been
strongly tempted. Such a man deserv-
ed better fate, but a Philadelphia
paper states that he is now nearing the
end of his career in poverty and neglect.
Ifin youth he had mastered some legiti
mate profession, business or trade, he
would probably be enjoying an old age
of comfort and ease.

Growth of an Old World City.

1t is not, we believe generally known
that Admiral Sir William Dowell, com
mander in chief of the English fleet on
the China station, is the officer who, as
Midshipman Dowell, first planted the
English flag on the Island of Hong
Kong fortythree years ago. 1t is al
most impossible to believe, that in less
than fifty years. a virtually desert is
land should have been converted into
such place as Hong Kong now is.
The present governor of the colony,
Sir George Bowen, in speech which he
made shortly after his arrival in China,
drew attention to the fact that after
London, Liverpool and Glasgow, the
tonnage of the shipping which visits
Victoria Harbor every year is larger
than the figure for any other harbor in
her maiesty's dominions. We hear u
great deal of the wonderful growth
of cities and the development of re-
sources in the New World, but we
doubt whether the record of Hong
Kong can be surpassed anywhere.

Damp Sheets and "wet Pack"

Sleeping in damp sheets is one thing,
taking q" wet-pack" is quite another. In
the first case no precautions are taken
to keep the heat of the body fr pm
being unduly carried off by evaporation
of the dampness in the sheets, and
hence most dangerous colds" are taken
which not unfrequently result in inval-
idism and death. When one takes a
"wet-pack" though enveloped in a wet
sheet, he is so covered with blankets
and bedding that no cold is produc d
by evaporation, but on the contrary he
is thrown into profuse perspiration,
which opening the pores freely
carries off the provocations to disease.
Many fever has been broken, many O
cold cured, by the "wet-pack, THAI is
by wrapping ones self in a sheet wrung
from warm water and then in a number
of blankets and lying thus till in full
perspiration. then sponging off IN tepId
and cold water, gradually restoring the
normal condition. But damp sheets are

do not keep their spare beds" made
up, except when they have guests.
The bedding is folded and laid away
till needed, the mattress left covered
with a single spread and the pillows
ditto. In winter or in damp weather
great care should be taken that all
"spare beds" have thorough airing
before guest is put to sleep in them.

Poultry raising is just as much part
of the farm business as raising pork
or beef, or growing potatoes, and the
fowls on farms do pay their way, and
more too, even when left to shift for
themselves; and when properly housed,
fed, and otherwise cared for, they pay
a larger profit in proportion to the cap
ital invested, and the time required to
care for them, than any other crop
raised on the farm-except boys and
girls. In the first place the farmer can
raise poultry cheaper than anybody else,
for the reason that he can usually give
| his fowls and chicks free range where
they can pick up no ineonsiderable por-
ton of their living. If the poultry rails
or who keeps his fowls confined to yards
and supplies green food and meat, eau
make them pay, surely the farmer who
can turn his poultry loose to get such
food for themselves ought to make them
pay too. Besides this, foraging fowls
on farm consume a great deal of food
that would otherwise be wasted or near
" so, and this waste food, although it
DdS no ildfkeb Ndlue, IL really lu6 very
best food for fowls 1t will pay the
farmer to keep poultry to supply his
own table with fresh eggs and chicken

eternally complaining because the hens
don't pay their way" would take into
consideration the number of eggs and
plump chickens that are devoured by
the family IN the course of a twelve
month it might open their eyes, any
way they would be pretty sure to open
their eyes and months too, if they were
obliged to buy all the eggs and chickens
needed for the "house market" and be-
sides it is handy to have u supply of
fresh meat where you can get it at any
time and no danger of its spelling eth
