rooms IN the Metropolitan opera house. he
cause of his death was exhaustion, cons5-
Quant upon the operation performed OF him
at Saratoga in June last by removing astOne
from the BLADDER. He had also suffered
from kidney disease for the last thirry-hve
years. He has been very weak for the last
seven days, but the doctors had great hope

Shortly after the troubles on the Wabash
system of railroads and the southwestern

of pains in the lOins. Finally ne became so
much worse that he was com elled to give
up work and take much need ed rest. The
trouble with the strikers worried him very
much. He left st. Louis in the latter part
of May and came east to Saratoga. After
consultation with physician he concluded
20 have an operation performed which re-
suited IN his death After the operation ne

that he should be buried by the side of MS

fATTENIEG POULTRY.

For fattening fowls, the follow
ing arrangement will be found
effective. A long, low box "a shoe
box, laid upon its side, answers
very well) is lathed up and down
in the front, leaving an opening all
along the front, a bar being fitted
across the box, three inches above
the bottom. This bottom opening
is to clean out the box with a
scraper, once every day after
which dry earth is thrown in. This
box will hold six fowls, and a iced
ing.trough and a water.can should
be fitted in front. A number OF
boxes may be TERED Que over the
other, and when the fowls have fed
the front should be covered and
darkened by hanging bagging over
it. This will keep the fowls quiet.
Two weeks of this treatment will
fatten them. The finest flesh is
made by feeding corn-meal and
boiled potatoes, mixed with skim
milk, quite thick, and four feeds q
day should be given. Fowls are
best slaughtered and dressed as
follows: A barrel is provided with
a number of nails driven in around
the open edge. A number of loops
of Irvine, about six inches long, are
also provided. The bird is fasten-
ed by noosing the loop around the
legs, and is hung in the barrel,
head downwards. The head is
then taken in the left hand, and a
sharp, pointed knife ID pushed
through the throat, close to the
vertebra, and drawn forward 80 as
TO cut the throat clear through, by
which sensation is at once arrested,
and the fowl bleeds to death rapid
~ and painlessly. Being confined
in the barrel, the splashing from
the auttering is avoided, and every
thing is done in a clearly and easy
manner. Dry picking is preferred
by the marketmen, but the extra
price will hardly pay for the trouble
over the scalding of the fowls, and
the easier picking in that way. 10
soald fowl, take a pail three
full of boiling water, and
plunge the bird into it, drawing
it up and down a few times. Keep |
the water up to the scalding heat
by adding a quart of boiling water
occasionally.-"PrOft in Poultry"

Superior 10 Anything.

A prominent business man in
Wilmington, Del, in speaking Of a
cure of cancer on himself, writes to
the Morning NeicS of that city:
can say further that my case is
not an isolated one. A lady, a Gus.
toner of mine, was suffering from a
cancerous affection of the nose. She
had spent a great deal Of money
and time running to Philadelphia
to consult the best physicians there,
but could get but little or no relief.
About a year ago ! told her of my
case, and induced her to try the ).
s. s. remedy. She did so, and IN
few weeks was much better. She
had several operations performed,
and was disposed to hold on to her
old treatment as well as the new,
but finally she threw all aside but
the s. S. s., and in two months
from that time was thoroughly
cured.
Another lady suffering from an
abscess on her arm had been doc
toring for a long time in this city,
Chester and Philadelphia, but could
not get any relief, apparently. She
had fallen away to mere shadow
of her former self, and could scarce
ly eat or sleep. She commenced to
take the s. S. S. medicine, upon the
advice OF friends and myself, but
was so reduced in flesh that she
had little stomach trouble at first.
Bhe persisted, however, aud after
the third bottle she declared it had
done her more good than anything
else she had ever tried. now un-
derstand that she is entirely well,

Worth Knowing.

Kerosene oil is generally used for
lights in the country, and the clean
ing OF lamp chimneys is quite tire
some, but must be attended to every
day. The burners often get ont
Of fix, ard it is very veXatious to
keep them in running order. When
they get clogged and will not run
up or down, and are covered with
SCOT and gum, do not throw them
away, but take a little iron kettle
and put in a pint of wood ashes and
a quart of water; put IN the burners
and set them on the stove, and let
them boil five or ten minutes take
them out, and with a soft rag wash
them clean and dry them well.
They are then as good as new, and
will do another six months. It is
very little trouble to do IL, and
saves much vexation. After one
has tried it once they will not he
apt to forget it. Nice.loOking, clean
lamps are quite ornamental, while
a smoky chimney and bad-smelIing
burners are not agreeable.

First Singing Of Home, Sweet Home,
brooklyn Magazine.l

Perhaps the most thrilling quar-
ter of an hour Of John Howard
Pay ness life was that when Jenny
Lind sang "HOme, Sweet Home"
to him. The occasion was the Jen-
ny Lind concert in Washington, the
night of December II. 1850. The
assembly was, perhaps, the most
distinguished ever seen in a con-
cert room in this country. The i'm
mense National hall, hastily con-
structed for the occasion on the
RUNS of the burned National Thea
tire, was filed to overllowing.-
Among the notables present and
occupying front seats were Presi-
dent Fillmore, Daniel Webster,
Henry Clay, General Scott, and
John Howard Payne. Jenny Lind
opened with the "CaSta Diva" and
followed with the "Flutc Song" Gin
which her voice contested rivalry
for purity and sweetness with q
flute in the duet, then the famous
"Blrd Song" and next on her pro-
gramme the "Greeting to Ameri-
ca" All the pieces were applaud
ed apparently to the full capacity
of an enthusiastic audience, and
Mr.. Webster, who was in his most
genial after-dinner mood, empha-
sized the plaudit by rising from his
seat and making Jenny a profound
bow, as if responding Tor the coun-
try to her "Greeting" But when
the "Swedish Nightingale answer
ed the encore by turning in the d.
rection of John Howard Payne and
giving "HOme, Sweet Home" with
all the wonderful tenderness, puri-
ty, and simplicity fitting both the
words and airof the immortal song,
the difference was at once seen be-
tween the mechanical applause
called ont by display of fine yo-
calizatlon, and that elected by the
"tOuch of nature that makes the
whole world kin" Before the first
line of the song was completed the
audience was fairly "Oil its feet,
and could scarcely wait for a pause
to give expression to its enthusl-
asm. People ordinarily Of the I'M
demonstrative sort clappcd, stamp
ed, and shouted ss if they were
mad, and it seemed as if there
would be no end to the uproar.-
Meantime all eyes were turned up
on Payne, a small-sized, elegantly
moulded, gray.haired gentleman,
who blushed violently at finding
himself tho centre Of 50 many
gIances.

LAYING IN WNTER.--HOw to
make hens lay in winter is a ques-
ton of the most practical import
.ance; but, after all has been sad,
the problem resolves itself simply
into tbis--prOvide a warm roosting-
place, and furnish an abundance
aud variety Of food. If you al
low your poultry to roost in the
orchard during the winter season,
you may not loose your chickens,
but you will have a dearth of eggs.
Give them warm quarters, where
they can keep comfortable during
the coolest nights and you will be
well repaid.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
POINTS ON STOCK.

Prot. Stewart says: Apples are
not only not Objectionable, but art
beneficial to the health of the COW
and improve the flavor of her milk
with the qualification that they
are properly fed. A moderate
quantity of apples, say six to eight
quarts to a COW per day, will assist
in the digestion of her other food,
and their Aavoring will improve
the taste of milk.
The Sheep Breeder and Wool Gror-
er says: "Letters from sheep breed
ers and wool growers in every
quarter indicate an almost re-
markable revival of interest in an
industry whose utter extinction
was predicted by gloomy prophets
a few years ago. The tide has
turned, and those who have had
persistency to hold on have been
borne on to fortune, not great,
perhaps, but one that was little
anticipated a few months ago."
Steers and mich cows should
never be kept in the same pasture,
nor should they be fed alike
Raising beef for market requires
skill. The first requisite is rapid
growth of the frame, and in the
younger days of the animal too
much consideration cannot be
given this matter. Steers, when
growing, convert all their food in
direction of building up the body.
There are times when they must
receive special attention different
from that given the cows, for sue
cess depends upon how the cattle
are managed.
The editor ola Chicago paper call
ed The Hog, declares that in select
ing farm tor hog.raising he would
avoid one with running stream.
He argues that such farms with
such streams have wrought great
havoc among the most careful
farmers, and their dangers far out
weigh all other advantages. Dur
ing dry seasons their stagnant
waters are pollution, and during
wet seasons their backwaters form
cess-pools of filth that are tempt
ing, but deadly to the hog. Dur
ing epidemics they become mere
arteries of disease, befouling the
air and spreading contagion.
Too much stress can hardly DC
laid on the Importance of looking
we'll to the matter of watering
sheen in winter. "You can lead a
horse to water, but you cannot
make him drink This adage
would hardly be true Of the sheep.
1t will drink after a while. When
a sheep comes out Of the stable a
trlhe chilly, with its blood stagnant
after twenty.four hours quiet, it
feels touchy, and 1t will sniff and
sample here and there in a way
which is aggravating to the Shep'
herd who is waiting on its motions.
1t may be fifteen minutes before 1t
can suit itself. 1t may utterly re-
fuse to drink, whereas, if it could
90 of and take a run of an hour or
so, it would return and drink a
surprising quantity. If that sheep
had been hastily shut up by an
impatient shepherd, it would have
suffered before twenty.fOur hours
elapsed, and would not have eaten
as freely as it ought, and conse-
quently would have begun to lose
condition..-Americdn AgricuIturist.
