One Woman's Perversity-How She Man
aged Her Husband.
On the boat going up the river the other
day was couple of whom everybody soon
took notice. 1t was plain enough that
they had had row, and that the wife was
mad as wet hen. When she had taken
seat the husband walked up and down and
glowered at everybody and seemed to MUIR
muir threats of vengeance. On the deck,
sitting by himself, was red-shirted, big
listed giant of chap about forty years of
age. Presently the woman gathered up
her parcels and walked over and shook his
hand and sat down beside him and began
cheerful chat. explaining, however:
my husband is terribly jealous Of me,
and 1 want to bother him."
''All right, marm," replied old Hercules.
"Just chatter and chin to your hearts con-
tent, and I'll larf and Iarf and slap my leg
where the applause should come in"
The bold action puzzled the husband for
few minutes, but presently he walked up
to the pair and said to the man:
'Are you an old acquaintance of hers"
II should remark that Twas, your Honor
Knowed her fur the last thirty odd"
Him! Who are you?'

Deaf Mute Artists.

Among the artists who exhibited at
this years Salon in Paris were eight
deaf-mutes. Their work was of an ex-
cellent character. 1t is one of the
proudest achievements of this age that
SO much has been done to promote the
happiness and to increase the opportu-
mites for the employment of persons
thus afflicted. The nigh position in art
taken by the French deaf-mutes should
be most encouraging to all others who
may possess the artistic faculty in any
degree. From such employment there
comes that high degree of mental de-
velopment which in many other voca-
tons is not possible to these unfortu-
mates. Current.

CURING GREEN GRASS.

An Experiment which Has the Flavor Or
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
70 ferment and heat and give out moist
are. which was absorbed by the straw.
The fermentation soon spread to the
straw. which became moist and mod
srately hot. and thus underwent 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 a 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 digestibility of the clover
to 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
of IF hn r,,iyaH fnAdar
showed that the indigestible matter
was reduced in quantity, while the
sugar and the other digestible nutrients
increased in amount much more than
was sufficient to pay for the labor of
handling over the straw. This. how
ever, was very little, as nothing more
was required than to move the straw
from one NOW to another and spread il
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 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 a heavy crop. The SUBJ
ject of ensilage is evoking much
thought and study. Here is method
of ensilage which is perfectly free from
risk or apprehension. and no silo is re-
quired. The grass or clover may even
be stacked in an open barrack with the
straw as we'll as in barn. 1t is GER
tainly an opportunity for farmers to
try an experiment which may lead to a
valuable use OF their straw and largely
add to Their stock of fodder, of which
none ever has too much.-N Y Times.

glanced at Lucy, and moved away

.'Come, girls; come Erastas, dinner
all ready, and your fathers coming in

from the kitchen. ''Come and let's see
how it will seem. to all eat together
once more"
AS they passed out ahead of him, and
all the time as they sat at dinner,
Erastus kept thinking how beautiful
Lucy had grown. He had never
noticed it before, but it seemed to him
now that Jennie really looked plain be-
side her sister.

occurred that preparations were making for
something of the kind. President Wasburn
of Robert College says that months ago the
signs were abundant that that Roumelia was
contemplating revolution. Had Russia not
looked upon the movement with favoring
eyes she would have taken measures to nip
it in the bud.
AS yet we get no trustworthy indication of
what action the signatory powers purpose to
take under the treaty of Berlin. By the
terms of that treaty they are bound to res
tore the status that existed before the Rou-
melian outbreak, that's to restore the Porte's
sovereignty over Roumelia. 1t by no means
follows, however, that such will be their ac-
ton. Probably the inspired article in the
Fremdenblatt pretty accurately foreshadows
the powers course. 1.-THE movement, it
says, twill be kept within the narrowest
possible" That means, we take it, that
what the revolution has already accomplished
will not be disturbed, but strenuous efforts
will be made to keep it from spreading

A very small and Insignificant spark is
sufficient to kindle a disastrous confagration
in the East. The peaceful revolution in
Eastern Roumelia is followed already by an
outbreak in Albania, and Macedonia is ripe
for revolt. Reports from the European
capitals are so contradictory that it is i'm
possible to get at the true inwardness of the
outbreak in Roumelia. While in some
quarters it is charged that the rising was in
stigated by Russian agents, in others it is
claimed as emphatically that Russia had
nothing to do with it. 1t is difficult to be-
heVe, however, that the ruler of the little
prlncipality of Bulgaria has made himself
an accomplish in the violation of the Treaty
OF Berlin without being assured beforehand
OF powerful backing. Besides the Russian
agents who keep sharp eye on all the poll
teal movements in the East must have
known long before the Roumelian outbreak

The Governor and Council have committed
the sentence of Blaney, the Kittery murder
er, to imprisonment for life. The executives
decision is based entirely on the fact that
Blaney voluntarily became witness for the
State and gave valuable testimony. The rea-
son is sound. The almost invariable custom
of enlightened States has been to show len
iency to criminals who aid in bringing their
accomplices to justice, and there was no rea-
son for ignoring it in this case. 1t is reput-
ed that majority of the council are in favor
of committing Mrs. Barrews's sentence also
because of her sex. Inasmuch as the legisla-
ture made no distinction between male and
female murderers in the act restoring the
death penalty it is difficult to see why the
executive should.

The New York Mugwumps have another
grievance. One Marcus Hanlon has been
appointed special agent of the treasury in
that city at salary of So a day on the rec
ommendation of Representative Merriman.
Hanlon used to run a distilery and the New
York Post says he was in Every bad odor
with the revenue officers" He was also
distinguished member of the Tweed club,
and was one of the delegation that
called on Tweed to assure him of their con-
tinued confidence after the New York
Times's exposure of the boss's methods had
been made Late years he has figured
as Greenbacker. The Post, after emu
merating Hanlon's qualifications, remarks
with fine touch of humor, that the
Secretary of the Treasury can scarcely fail
to revoke this appointment on learning the
record OF the new special agent" These
repeated slaps the Mugwumps are getting
right in the teeth of an election seem to indi-
cate that their ''infooence' is not consid-
cred to be worth so much as it was.

1t is impossible to deny the soundness of
many Of the arguments adduced in favor of
giving the ballot to women, and the reason
probably the cause has not made more rapid
progress is to be found in the fact that hth-
erto interest in it has been confined to
comparatively few women. When the great
mass of the women rise up and demand it
the ballot will no doubt be granted The
purpose of the convention that meets here
today is to stimulate interest in the subject.
