BOY Idea of q Bishop.

Bishop Harris of New York, in re-
Spouse to the address of welcome
rendered to him in behalf of the Buffalo
Methodist Union the other evening,
told good story at his own expense.
He had gone to the little Town of Dun
dee, in the central part of the State,
to dedicate q church. He was the
guest of the pastor, who had very
beautiful and interesting little boy who
had been on the tiptoe Of expectation
to see the Bishop, about whose coming
he had heard SO much. At the dinner
table the Bishop sat at the end with
the little fellow around the corner, and
and the prelate did his best to make
himself agreeable to the young gentle
man in conversation. The talk was of
school and school studies, of church,
Sunday-school, and other matters
likely to interest. The pair made
quite an acquaintance, and seemed
pleased with each other, but after the
distinguished divine had left the table
the boy looked up at his mother in al
most blank establishment and said:
Ma. is that all there is to Bishop?"

Wholesome Beds.

Mrs. l.. j. X. Clifford, in Good
Housekeeping, says: My first suggcs-
ton in regard to the care of feather
beds, and mattresses rs well, is that
they should be thoroughly protected
by mechanical means. from the exhal-
ations of the sleeper, and from coming
into contact with local objects which
may mar their outward cleanliness or
appearance. As far as observation ex.
tends, this idea has not obtained to any
extent among housekeepers; but my
own experience of twenty-five years
with beds and mattresses, used during
this period. makes me regret that |
cOnld not have started with the suggcs-
tons which now desire to offer others
and especially to the young housckeep-
er. Every feather bed and mattress
should be provided with a second tick
or casing, enclosing it firmly and en-
tirely, This should be made of mater
ial which can be thoroughly cleansed by
washing and boiling, and should be re-
moved for this purpose as..often as once
a year. where the bed is in daily use.
For this purpose would suggest, firm
coarse, unbleached cotton cloth. This
will prevent soil of the mattress as it is
daily lifted for airing, (by servant IS
whose hands or clothing may not
always be too clean) and will prevent
injury to the fabric, as the bed is
carried through doors from room to
room. to the piazza or open yard for
weekly summing.
This will form the second layer of
protection from infection. For further
and complete protection two under
sheets should always be used, made Of
firm, durable material. The upper

Justice DuvaI's WIFE.

Speaking Of Stanley Mathews mar
rage, says Washington correspondent
reminds me Of story which Oglc Tay-
leo tells Of Justice Duyal, who was on
the Supreme bench for twenty five
years, serving from 1911 to 1886. Judge
Duval was Representative from Mary
land to the First Congress, and while
there he and William Il. Giles of Vir-
ginia boarded in Philadelphia With Mrs.
Gibbons, who had daughter who was
neither young nor taciturn. Giles and
Duval became greet friends, but after
they left Congress they lost sight Of
each other for time. They met
again in Washington at the beginning OF
Jeffcrson's Administration, when Giles
was Senator and Duval Controller Of
the Treasury. They were happy in the
revival of old times, and were enjoying
themselves in chatting about them un-
til Senator Giles inquired OF Duyal.
What has become Of that cackliDg
old maid, Jennie Gibbons?'
..Shc is Mrs. Duval, SIR" was the
reply, and it is needless to say that the
conversation was for the first time
rahter strained.

Thcy Missed Jack.

Jack was not q bad boy, but lie was
q terribly mischievious one, and his
parents really felt relief at the thought
that he was to start for boarding school
the next day. His father had thought
of it when he found Jack had used his
razor to white a kite stick. He
thought so again when he discov-
cred that Jacks ball had gone through
the parlor window. Jacks mother
thought SO when she found muddy
footprints all over the parlor carpet
and great mark on the piano leg.
They both thought so when their chat
at the supper table was interrupted by
whistling and the upsetting of the milk
pitcher. and they told Jack SO, when,
after having driven almost wild his
father, who was trying to read the
evening newspaper. by getting up q
fight between the dog and cat, he sat
down on his mothers new bonnet she
had just been fixing and utterly ruined
it. Early the next morning Jack was
packed off. Oh! what q relief from
noise and trouble it was. His father 3
razors remained undisturbed, no sound
of breaking glass was heard. the par
lor carpet was unstained by mud.
But somehow the house didn't see m
very cheerful to its occupants. 1t was
a long day. Tea was served. There
was no whistling and upsetting OF
dishes to interrupt the conversation, but
the talk didn't seem to run SO smoothly
If cr all. Aud when it came to read
ing the evening paper and liking an an
other bonnet, the dog ana cat slept Sc
r.nely on the hearth rug and no dis
turbance interrupted the proceedings.
That's the difference between having a
boy in the house and having him away
and the gentleman put down his paper
and remarked as much to his wife, when

and two big drops OF her checks. and
there was kind Of mistiness about his
eyes that bothered him about seeing.

Tenallytown road. The house Is two
and one-half story stone mansion.
elegantly situated on high ground,
commanding fine view of the sur
rounding country, and to which is
attached twenty-niue acres Of ground.
II is said to be the purpose of the
President to occupy this house during
the summer months, and at other pc
iods of the year when he desires to
escape from intrusion when he has any
special labor to perform. t is also
reported that the President will make
considerable improvements in the
house, adding an additional story and
erecting a tower, which will give q
view of the Potomac River as far as
Mount Vernon. This would indicate
that Mr.. Cleveland intends to make
Woodley, the name by which the
estate is known, his home after retiring
from the Presidency. The price paid
for the property was $2l 500. 1t is less
than thirty minutes drive from the

posing Of any that have ever transpired
within the limits Of the state, being at
tended by Gov. Hubbard and his staff,
state officials, Mayor Rice Of St. Paul
and officials of that municipality and
prominent citizens from all sections of

A Poultry Town.

In the secluded town of Little Comp
ton, r. l., poultry raising is made a
speciality by the farmers. Not many
are new in the business, writes corr
respondent OF the NeW England Farm
er, and some have been engaged in il
many years. All are farmers, but the
tilling at the soil in the poultry farm
interest. The largest poultry farm
contains 200 acres, of which fifty acres
are devoted to the range Of fowls and
chicks. Fifty hens comprise Il colony
and occupy a separate house. Here
they roost and lay. The number of
fowls on this farm is 1900. aud is
made up Of Plymouth Rock and Light
Brahmas. One man attends to all and
his ample time. Tue yield Of eggs is
about 1000 dozen month, and they
are sent to market twice week to Bos-
ton, New York and Providence, as the
demand comes.
One farmer receives all the eggs pro-
duced in the neighborhood and sends
to market. In the '.busy season.
5000 dozen week is not unusual.
The food in summer is corn, what,
barley and other grains; in winter,
cooked food, meal and vegetables with
beef scraps aud ground bone. The
cost per fowl is about one dollar per
year and the profit on each is also
about one dollar. Feathers find a
ready market ut to II cents per
pound. During the year 1884, the
price of eggs received by the farmers
averaged 224 cents per dozen. On the
large farm the hen as an egg-hatcher
has been discarded. Four artificial in
cubators had produced before the first
of June 1900 chicks. Artificial brood
ers are always used. Fifty to seventy
five per cent of fertile eggs were hatch
ed. The unfavorable weather in the
early spring reduced the average low
er than that of last year.
A man who understands can give all
attention necessary to an incubator in
40 minutes daily. Goslings and ducks
are Matched by incubtaors and the re-
suit is satisfactory. About 20 stock
geese are kept. from which are raised
annually 500 to 600 green geese for
market. The geese are fattened in

Eggs may be preserved for some
months by coating the shell with fresh,
clean lard, thus excluding all the air.
Some authorities recommend putting
them in lime-water, or laying them
down in salt, or packing them in saw
dust. The lime partially cooks them
and salt has drying effect; but eggs
coated with lard are said to open fresh
