How to Put an Egg in a Bottle.

A writer in the Rural New Yorker
tells the young folk how they may
perform the magic feat Of putting an
egg into bottle. Like many other
things, it is easy enough when you
know how.-This is the way it is
done: Soak fresh egg for several
days in strong vinegar. The acid of
the vinegar will eat the lime Of the
shell, so that while the egg looks the
same it will be soft and capable of
compression. Select a bottle with a
neck third smaller than the egg.
With'a little care you will have no
trouble in pressing the latter into
the bottle. Fill the bottle half full
oflime water, and in a few days YOU
will have hard -Shelled egg in bot
tie with a neck a third smaller than
the egg. OF course you pour off the
lime water as soon as the shell har-
dens. How the egg got into the bot
tie will be a conundrum that few
can answer.

War on Kissing Brides.

! understand that the young ladies
are contemplating the formation OF
an anti-congratulatory society, for
the purpose of putting down the bar
barous practice of kissing brides i'm
mediately after the marriage cere-
mOny. The usual rule is for every
male relative and connection to the
most distant degree and every wo-
man present al the wedding TO form
in line and mouth the poor bride
until the last one has claimed the
privilege and has been satisfied.
1t is enough to deprive the occasion
of all its charms for sweet young
thing to stand and look around Oh an
assemblage of several hundred peo-
pie and know that she has got to
press her lips on every mouth in it,
attractive or otherwise. The big
mouth, the little mouth, the thin lips,
thick lips, chapped lips, big lips, wet
lips, and every other variety of lips,
must come in for Il share of her at
tention before she can call her mouth
her own, and can devote it exclusive
ly TO the one person she cares to kiss.
The society will shut down on all
kissing at public receptions, and will
countenance only private salutations
from the numbers ofthe two families.

Secretary Of State.
JAMES D. PORTER,
Or TENNESSEE.

the appointment of James ID. Porter,
Of Tennes see, who is gentleman o.
superior cndOwments of person,
capacity and culture. lie has had
experience as lawyer, man of
business and statesman, and has been
long a friend of Secretary Bdyard.
His appointment is generally reg rl-
ed as strong one. II was uneXpect, d
by the politicians of the State in
which he resides, but is perhaps not
less welcome TO the public at large on
that account.
James ID. Porter was born In the
State OF Tennessee, in the year 1881.
lie received superior education.
After leaving the National College,
Nashville, an institution of local i'm
pOrtance as seat of learning at the
time, but now no more, he attended
lectures at the Lebanon Law School.
When the Secession trouble began
Porter took decided stand as Il
Union man. lie was at the time
member of the Legislature of his
State, and introduced resolutions in
to that body. known as the Porter
resolutions, favoring the continuance
Of Tennessee in the federation of the
United States. His action in this
matter was unsuccessful, however;
the State seeded aud he then reluc-
tahtly consented to the separation.
Having gone thus far he took the re.
naming step of defending the Confrd-
crate cause by force of arms, aud was
an Adjutant-Geucral in its army
throughout the war.
With the return of peace he opened
an Office for the practice of The law.
In 1870 he was elected Circnit Court
Judge; and in 1871, while still hold
ing that Office, he was elected Gov
ernOr ofTemessce. lie assumed this
position the following year, Having
retired from the Govenorsbip in 1879,
he gave attention 10 his railway IN
terests. After having been President
OF tie Nashville, Chattanooga and
ST. Louis Railroad for several years,
he resigned that position few
months ago.
Mr.. Porter has been energetic in as
sising the progress of his State. His
"rcc0rd" as q statesman includes a
hard fight against repudiation. Mr..
Porter believes that state ought to
pay its debt.

How Cleveland Did Blaine a Favor.

Washington letter Springfield Republican.
G eveland's manly action is said to
have saved Mr.. Blaine. after the III
dianapolis libel suit came TO an end,
from an embarrassing attack. The
democratic managers had lithograph-
ed in Indianapolis the letters concern
ing the Blaine family, which had
been gathered by the Sentinel people
in anticipation of the libel suit trial.
These Autographed letters they pro-
posed to publish in immense guam
titles for distribution TO annoy and
hnmiliate Mr.. Blaine. They were Of
such character that such a proceed
uro would have greatly harrassed
the losing candidate. The matter
came to Mr.. Cleveand's knowledge
aud he promptly put a stop to it, de-
claring that any one in any way res
ponsible for it, need never ask any
favors from him. This attitude end
ed the plan, for those concerned in

MRS. MAcKEY.
Humble Origin Of an Ambitious
Woman.

None Of the roma;ic tales that are
going about concerning the Mackeys
have ever contained reference to their
humble beginning. liungcrIord, Mrs.
Mackey's father, was all hG:nkle bar
Der who made his way To California
during the first gold crush and fol-
lowed the mining camps about with
varied success. On the death of their
mother he had his two little daugh-
ters sent from their home in the east
to friends of his in San Francisco.
Transportation was high in those
dsys and it took all his savings to
bring them out. The eldest, Mary,
the present Mrs. Mackey, was them
about twelve years old. The young
or, Lizzie, the present Countess Tel
fener, of Italy, was four years young
er. There was then in San Francisco
family of Italian Jews named Clip
rico. George Ciprico, the father, was
barber and kept noted place. 1t
is still in existence. When Hunger
ford was not i'll the mountains search
ing for gold he worked as a journey
man barber in Ciprico's shop. Cip-
rico had four daughters about the age
of Hungerford's daughters. They
were remarkable for their beauty.
One of them afterwarl married a
rich Hebrew of San Francisco aud
was shot at by a poor fellow named
Cahill, who had been madly in love
with her before her marriage, and
who left behind him letters that COM
promised the woman dreadfully be-
fore her marriage. The Hmgerford
girls made their home with the Clip
rico family. The elder, now Mrs.
Mackey, resolved to fit herself for
teaching. The father was still having
a hard time and was getting poorer.
After while he sent for his oldest
daughter 10 come up into the noun
tains, ostensibly to keep house for
him, hut really to have her find a
husband from among the more'well-
to-do miners. At Nevada City was
a young physician of dissipated hab-
its. With him Miss Hungerford fell
in love, and about 1859 married him
much to the honest barber's relief.
The marriage did not turn out well.
The doctor drank hard and spent all
his money. Eva, now Princess Co
lonna. was born in 1850 in the rear ol
the little drug store in Nevada City
The doctor went to the dogs and
died in 1864. The widow set in to

MILWAUKEE, Mar. SIS. w. Tall.
madgc is in receipt of the following
late information in regard to the area,
condition and prospects Of the winter
wheat crop:
KENTUCKY.-C. L. Bowman, Com
missioner of Agriculture, says the
acreage sown to wheat in this State
is from 10 to l5 per cent. less than
that of the previous year. The win
ter has been very unfavorable.
Alternate freezing and thaws have
lifted the plant to the surface.
and it is in badly crippled condi-
ton.
VIRGINIA.-R. Harrison, Commis-
sioner of Agriculture, says: | have
official figures from all sections of the
State, and the acreage is short fully 30
per cent. from last year. As regards
the condition since my last report TO
you, have advices flom the South
west portion of the State reporting
the wheat is being almost DESTROYED
or winter killed, aud from advices
aud what have seen in the last few
days, the prospect for wheat is worse
than it has been since 1866. Alternate
freezing and thaws, with no snow to
protect it, is the principal cause.
MARYLAND The area s0wn to
wheat is fully . per cent. short, as
compared with last year We hear OF
no serious damage. The condition.
however, is not flattering, owing to
haste in sowing and the soil not
being prepared to received the seed.

MADIsoN's HERMIT.

RICHMOND, KY, March 2l.-For a
dozen years Il strange man known a.

about twelve miles from here. From
whence he came nobody knew, nor
would any one have cared, save for
his wild mode of living. lie was
apparently about forty years cd
when first noticed, had once possess
cd a bright mind, with considerable
knowledge of the world, but had
been mentally wrecked. His appear
ance did not indicate strong drink,
aud he was neither idle nor lazy.
Occasionally he labored on farms, but
most generally spent his time in
hunting, and he hunted for meat not
for fun. His life and happiness SEEM

liked house. In summer a grassy
plot was his couch, and the starry
heavens his covering. In winter he
dug a hole in the ground or construct
ed the most primitive house OF sticks.
lie ate meat almost exclusively, es-
pecially in winter, and his bill of fare
embraced greater variety than that
of any other human being, TO wit:
Op0ssums, coons, ground-hogS,
skunks, rabbits, squirrels, rats, tur-
ties. terrapins, snakes, frogs, all kinds
of birds, and enthusiastically a hog
or sheep.
In summer he indulged in fruit,
berries, corn aud a few other things.
lie was usually agreeable, aud talked
great deal at times. lie often talked
of how he lived when among the ln-
dians, and frequently spoke of Lake
Minnetonka, the city OF Minneapolis
the Missouri river and such other
places aud things as would indicate
a former residence in the Northwest
His nautical expressions were evi'
dence of familiarity with seamen
But no one ever succeeded in discov'
ering any facts in his case that would
throw light on his strange career.
The local newspapers have time
