The Pavilion Carnival.

An immense audience assembled at
the Pavilion on Friday evening on the
occasion of the grand prize masquer-
ade. Although not quite SO numerous
as on former occasions of this kind
there were plenty of maskers on the
floor, and the costumes were varied
and pleasing, rich and ragged. The
"Bopeep," of Miss Emma Stanchfeld
was one of the best and most cleverly
carried out characters that ever graced
a carnival floor, and the award of the
lace pin to her as the best lady charac-
ter met with the hearty approval of the
spectators. Mrs. Jenkins received the
pair of bracelets as the best dressed
lady; Miss Josie He'll was awarded a
season ticket as the most graceful lady
skater on the floor. viii R. Stratford,
as an English Prince, carried away the
diamond scarf pin as the reward for
being the best dressed gentleman
present; James Kelley, as a Butcher,
took the silver goblet for the best sus-
tanned male character; while Will
Griffiths received season ticket as the
best male skater in the carnival.
Among the many good representa-
tons on the floor were: Schoolgirl,
Miss Bud: French Maid, Miss l.. Spen-
Ger; Sailor Lass, Mrs. Curtis; Russian
Page, Miss Grlst; Sop" Jack Clinton /;
Esthete, Miss Hattie White; Mari
tana, Miss Josie Pollock; Kate Greena-
way, Mrs. Pollock; Attic Regions, Mr..

ing, the doors were opened, and ere long
the hall was filed by as happy a throng
as one could wish to see. Added TO the
many cheerful faces were the soft strains
of music, mingled with the merry laugh
of hundred happy hearts, while we
could not refrain from saying, "On

and his most accomplished wife favored
the music-Ioving company with some of
their choicest selections, viz: The Sea
Hath its Pearls, etc. Mrs. Hayden
Hamilton, Miss E. White and
Miss N, Liddel were among the
'fairies" Of the evening and per
formed their parts admirably, Miss
Royle and Miss Woolf both ap-
peared to excellent advantage. Pro-
lessor Daynes performed fine mstru-
mental selection, as did also Mr.. Car
rington. The gem of the evening,
however, without question, was the
instrumental duo by Mrs. B. B. Young
and Professor Radcliffe, LA GAIA
Lodra, by Rossini. 1t was evident to
the highly delighted audience, that
both professors were masters OF the
divine art. Not wishing to discrimin-
ate particularly, yet the writer must
make mention of the readings by Mrs.
Bane. which charmed her audience as
by magic. Her powers of imitation are
marvellous at all times, but this time
she completely captured her hearers in
the rendition of Queen Arcamea" and
The Telltales." With all the musical
attractions, the Professor and his ami
able lady did not forget the wants of
the inner man." and about IL o'clock
invited the guests to descend to the
dining hall, where was spread q most
Sumptuous feast, after which Messrs.

companied by Professor Radcliffe, dis
cOursed such enhancing music, that
the feet kept time to music's chime, :"
and some, even though it was
Lent, for a moment were tempted
to whirl away, in the intricacies
OF the may waltz. Rarely do we see

were gathered round Professor Radcliffe
and his eStimable lady. Among the in

Farm, Garden, Home,
Poultry and Eggs.

In order to enlghten the people who are
Inclined to think that this heu business Is
pretty small business, l appropriate the
following from the Poultry Bulletin: SAC
cording TO the statistics Of 1882 the value
of poultry produced In the United States
exceeds the value of either hay, wheat, co.,
Ton, or dairy droduct, a. the following tig-
nres ~ill show:
Wheat oS'oooooo.
Htv 436, OO0, 900
Cotton 4lo'ooO,ooO
Dairy 254 900, 900
Poultry products 660.OOoOo0
The city OF New York consumes over
100 900 tons of dressed poultry annually,
wbit h at the low estimate of 10 cents per
pound amounts to SIC, 600 0o0. During
The two weeks of April 7tb 10 18th, 1884,
or the two before Easter Sunday there
were 1867 barrels of eggs received In
the markets of New York CITY,"
Other people are very much afraid that
this chicken aud egg u>iness Is very much
oyerdone, II doesn't look that way To us.
During the first three mouths ana hair OF
the present year some IA 0CO cases % for
..jpp eggs we're landed IN New York. Time
enough to talk about "overdong the poul-
try business when American hens lay eggs
enough to supply the home demand; and
that will not he for some time yet, for thus
far the demand has increased faster than
Che supply.
don'l know that want to stir up any
of the specially men, but will say that
every farmer ought to raise chickens and
eggs enough for home consumption.
Fo Ills on . f-rm do pay their way ard
more too, even when left to SHIFT pretty
much for themselves; and when well cared
for they pay larger profit In proportion TO
labor and capital invested than any other
live stock on the farm. A farm n 'ck OF
100 hens will, II rightly managed, lay eggs
enough 10 year to bring their owner
clear profit of 81 to 81, 80 per head, accord
inv to locality, and then the old fowls when
fatteled for market will bring enough to
buv the same number Of pullets to take
their places. IL reckoning the cost OF
keeping flock OF fowls most farmers do
not take the value Of poultry manure into
the account but 1t il quite an item and
should not be lost track of. In any part OF
the country where the land requires ma
nure 10 order to produce paying crops, the
manure from flock Of fowls will, tf save
