gorgeous in evening dress, who are honored
with the acquaintance of some young woman
in the chorus and who stands about the stage
door, not SO much to meet the girl as to show
the world that they really do know some one
in the theatrical profession. Very often the

honors them with nod and hurries off to
keep an engagement with some other man. but

NEW YoDY, Oct. l..-Thcre is vast
amount OF nonsense written about tho
"green rooms" of theatres, and it seems
to be generally accepted notion that
orgies OF the widest description are nightly
held in these mysterious, verdant-hued apart

zonian marches and scant drapery are seen,
are the green rooms" supposed to be tho
favorite Longing place of the gilded youth
about town who tlrts with the ballet girls,
opens dozens of champagne between the acts,
and plans the destruction of the virtuous and
hard working young coryphee who supports
her widowed mother and eleven small
brothers and sisters by toiling nightly
on her toes Mt Sll a week. This sort of
stuff makes excellent padding for the sensa-
tional correspondent, and furnishes subjects
for effective illustrations. The only trouble
is that it is not true. The "green ROOM" as
it does exist is stuffy little apartment fur
Ashed with number of cheap chairs and a
large mirror, and is used by the walking

when their services are not required on the
stage. The star goes to his or her dressing

surly Cerberus in the shape of the stage door
keeper, who, however willing he may be to
accept tips for delivering notes to people on
the stage, knows that it would be as much as
his position would be worth to allow one of
the "mashers" to penetrate beyond the out
side portal Occasionally a favored news
paper man, with strong influence and very
reasonable excuse, is taken by the manager
behind the scenes, and his illusions, if he had
any, are speedily destroyed. Notwithstanding
the impression to the contrary, the average
actress is much more charming on the street
than on the stage The paint and powder
which is rendered necessary by the vivid glare
of the footlights and the dazzling intensity
of the calcium, even on the most beau
tiful compilations, is simply hideous
wheL viewed at close quarters in the
pale yellow glimmer of the gas behind
the scenes. The costumes do not look nearly
as rich, and the sparkling jewels are but
simple paste. The fairies silken tights are
sadly soiled, and their gold lace is seen to be
furnished on close inspection. The "divinities
of the footlights" are huddled into corners
out of the way OF the hurrying stage carpen-
tiers and scene shifters.
The stage manager is cross and frequently
swears and the average chorus girl, who is
but human, and has been brought up in
loose school, not infrequently follows his ex-
ample. When stranger makes his appear
ance he is "guyed" numerically. Altogether,
behind the scenes is not the delightful place

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
Preparing Cows for Winter.

One of our best dairymen said to
us recently that it was as necessary
to prepare a cow for winter as it
was to lay in sufficient quantity of
fodder to feed her on during that
period. To carry COW properly
through from December 10 May,
keep her in good condition and we'll
up liz her milk to within a month of
her calving, it is important to begin
preparing for it about this month.
Cows at this season, from various
causes, diminish their flow of milk,
and though many farmers give them
a little feed night and morning. it
is not so common practice as it
ought to be. After giving milk all
summer the diminished production
of mich cow is owing toa some
what exhausted constitutions as
well as to the usual shortness of food
IN the fall. The animal health re-
quires something more than watery
or frosted pasture, and it will be
found a great advantage to give once
a day little soft hay, which will he
eaten with great relish, and also
two quarts OF mixed bran and corn
meal every evening. So small
quantity as this in addition to ras-
ture often produces great results.
1t is much easier to keep cow in
good thriving condition than to re-
cover her from an exhausted one.
Uninterrupted thrift at all seasons,
with all domestic animals, should be
the motto; and this depends on
constant care and oversight, with
sound Judgment in selecting the
proper food, giving it in certain
quantities, at proper times, and we
might add, giving each animal con-
slant access to A lump of rock salt.
Cows at best have but portion of
the attention giyingithem that they
should have, especially in COM
paratlvely new country like the
Northwest.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Humble-bee's Memory.

Professor Edward Hoffer gives a
contribution to animal psychology
which will BIZ of interest not only to
the entomologist, but to all biolo-
gists. 1t furnishes evidence of
some very strange powers of memory
oflocalities, in this group of insects.
whose brains, if we may use that
term, one would hardly deem capable
of such fur ctions.
The author removed nest con-
tanning numerous individuals of
one Of the common humble-bees
(Bombus terrestris) from it's origi-
nal location and carried it to his
residence, about three miles distant.
He further carefully watched the
plac, for some time after havi ng
captured all these who had flown to
the defence of their nest, and Sc
cured, it was believed, the entire
colony.
These he imprisoned for several
hours in wide-mouthed bottle and
safely reunited them in their ne W
home. At his house he placed the
nest, with its Inhabitants, near a
wiadow, and after they had been
quieted made small entrance. I'm.
mediately thsy began TO fly out, and
in so doing must have observed
their surroundings, for in a short
time they one by one returned.
The following night, however,
there was a sewers storm and while
the inhabitants of the forty other
colonies near it, that had become
accustomed to their surroundings,
were not in the least troubled, these
bees escaped and hid themselves
somewhere without during the
storm. Upon searching for them
early the next morning the queen
was found dead upon the ground,
while fifty or sixty of the workers
were seen flying about the house.
From time to time one or another
probably those which had flown
out OF the entrance the day before
found the opening and returned into
their nest; while the remainder,
after flying about for several hours,
gradually disappeared till not one
was left. AS it was supposed that
they had in all probability returned
to their previous nest, the place was
visited in tho afternoon, where sure
enough, at least fifty individuals
were foud.
They had thus, it will be seen. dis
tinctly remembered it, and after they
lad sought In vain to find enterance
20 their new home, they had depend
I'd on their wonderful sense of To-
;ality aud returned thither.

Ventilating q Hen House.

Keep all birds out of draught
when perched, as this is highly in.
furious. Artificial warming, on the
other hand we do not recommend,
as the best layers are not to be
found among sirds so treated, as far
as our experience goes. Ventilation
IS necessary, and should be above the
heads of the birds, never beneath
them. The holes admitting the air
should be small and few, to keep out
cold and draughts. Always, if pos.
sible, shelter the house against the
north winds, and whenever practic-
able, utilize the heat of stables and
cattle sheds for the benefit of the
fowls roostiBg. 1t is not at all
necessary that hen houses should be
large, but by all means let them be
substantial, or else it is out of the
question that they can be warm.
Overcrowding is Objectionable, but
otherwise very little room will
suffice, especially in winter time.
