In recent lecture on potato cult
ure at Beverly, Mass, Mr.. Hersey
said that poor soil required larger seed
than would answer for rich soil, and
that small-slzed seed planted continu-
ously for series of years does not
run out" the variety nor diminish the
yield.
Care in the details is the secret o.
all nice cooking, and the reason of sc
much that is poor and monOtonous
in our mode of living is the want o.
Just this care. Education and intelli
gence are as valuable in cooks as ir
any walk of life, and even more. fol
the health and comfort of present ant
future generations depend upon them

BARNABY LOST.
How JurfeA Were "Worked" In the Earl.
Days OF Daniel Webster's Career.

How JurieA Were "Worked" in the Early |
Days Of Daniel webster's Career.
A good story, capitally told by Mr..
Webster. illustrated his early profess
ional life in New Hampshire. "When
l was young practitioner" said Mr.
Webster, 'there was but one man at
the New Hampshire bar Of whom l
was afraid. and that was old Barnaby.
There were but few men who dared to
enter the list with him. On one occa-
sion Barnaby was employed to defend
suit for piece of land, brought by a
little. grabbed, cunning lawyer called
Bruce. Bruce's case was looked upon
as good as lost when it was ascertained
that Barnaby was retained against
him. The suit came on for trial, and
Barnaby found that Bruce had worked
hard. and left no stone unturned to
gain the victory. The testimony for
the plaintiff was very strong, and un-
less it could be impeached the case OF
the defendant was lost. The principal
witness introduced by the plaintiff
wore red coat. In summing up for
the defense. old Barnaby commenced
furious attack on this witness, pull
ing his testimony all to pieces, and ap-
pealing to the jury if man who wore
red coat was, under any circum-
stances, to be believed. And who is
this relocated witnessp' exclaimed
Barnaby, but descendant Of our
common enemy, who has striven to
take from us our liberty, and
would not hesitate now to deprive
my poor client of his land by max
ing any sort Of relocated state
ment! During this speech Bruce
was walking up and down the bar,
greatly excited, and convinced that his
case was gone, knowing, as he did, the
prejudice of the jury against any thing
British. Whilst, however, Barnaby
was gesticulating, and leaning forward
to the jury in his eloquent appeal, his
shirt bosom opened slightly, and
Bruce accidentally discovered that
Barnaby wore red flannel undershirt.
Bruce's countenance frightened up.
Putting both hands in his coat pockets,
he walked to the bar with great conf
dence, to the astonishment of his client
and all lookers-on. Just as Barnaby
concluded, Bruce whispered in the ear
of his client: I've got him; your case
is safe;' and approaching the jury lie
commenced his reply to the slaughter
ing argument OF his adversary. Bruce
gave regular history of the ancestry
Of his relocated witness, proving his
patriotism and devotion to the country,
and his character for truth and verac.
ity. But what, gentlemen of the jury.
broke forth Bruce, in loud strain OF
eloquence, while his eyes flashed fire,
what are you to expect of man who
stands here to defend cause based on
no foundation of right or justice what
ever; of a man who undertakes to de-
Stroy our testimony on the ground thai
my witness wears red coat, when

Bruce made a spring, and, catching
Barnaby by the bosom of the shirt
tore it open, displaying his red fan
nell, when Mr.. Barnaby himself wears
a red flannel coat concealed under {
blue one?' The effect was electrical
; Barnaby was beaten at his own game
and Bruce gained the case. Ben: Per

AMONG THE SWEETS.
What Reporter Saw In Large Cand
Manufacturing Establishment.

What Reporter Saw In Large Candy
Manufacturing Establishment.
The way was led back to large
kitchen where the marble slabs, enor-
nous hooks, glowing furnaces and
long-handled spoons all suggest the
cooking of some sweet things.
Into big copper kettles the skillful
candy-maker weighs many pounds of
finest white sugar. These pots are
placed on the coke-heated braziers and
in few minutes the surface crinkles,
showing tiny bubbles, that only rise to
break in putfs of steam and form again.
Then the whole golden mass becomes
wildly agitated, each little particle of
syrup seems madly striving to lie on
top and suppress all the rest. 1t boils
faster and faster, threatening each mo-
ment to pass that critical point where
good candy may end in poor sugar.
All this time the head of the depart
ment stands by quietly watching the
cOntOrtions inside the kettle. Wetting
his finger from can of cold water he
skins the surface and draws long crys-
tai. brittle threads from the hot yellow
taffy-in this way testing it.
A long marble-topped table has al
ready portion of its surface covered
with vanilla caramel waiting to be cut.
On the other end is poured this en-
bryo chips that will be pulled, stripped,
cut and folded later on. Handling
such warm material is rather delicate
job, in fact sensitive enough to require
gloved hands. 1t is Jolly to watch the
manner in which it is patted, poked and
smoothed on all sides, and finally drawn
out into broad, evenly-shining bands
that a boy clips with scissors while q
woman turns them into double bounc-
ers or eighths MS the fancy pleases.
So the trays are heaped with goodies
that bring tears to the eyes of the i'm.
pecunious beholder and clinking coins
to the proprietor's money-purse. while
attention is drawn to the imposition OF
French sugar-plums.
The foundation of many of these is q
cream center where the mixture is run

and remains until hard and cold.
Those in cone-shape have a coating OF
chocolate. others that are square have
English walnuts pressed on top, giving
three distinct ilavors to the bonbon.
Next a crystal cordial dropis examined
and marveled over as to how the liquid
found its way into the center. This
is explained easily when one learns
that sugar and cordial never agree,
so that if placed together. the liquid re.
mains inside, the strip forming s
sugared wall around it.

a PROEIlGAIE KING.

The Personal Character and Inimltable
Extravaganza of Louis XIV.
OF the personal character OF Louis
XIV. it is not necessary to say much.
Carlyle, in an oblique fashion, by hints
and innendoes, gives his readers to
understand that the society of his court
was worthy of Rome under the later
empire. The man who died OF his de.
baucheries is sufficiently condemned BY
his own acts. In the then condition OF
public morals, however. such things
might possibly have been condoned by
the nation had there been no ether
ground for complaint. Unhappily,
there were other and more terrible
reasons for disaffection. The seven
wears war had ruined every interest in
the country. and in the rural districts
the peasantry were enduring all the
horrors of famine. Some sustained
nature by eating the grass of the road
side and the herbs OF the field, and by
devouring meats long deemed unclean
and even poisonous. Thousands died
of starvation and misery; crime was,
as natural consequence, rampant and
the hangman constantly at work. Yet,
in the midst of all this misery, the SOW.
ereign and his court abated no jot Of
their pretensions, but laid upon the
wretched peasantry ever new and
heavier burdens. Millions were Law
ished upon the profigate circle which
surrounded the person of the monarch,
and hundreds Of millions were spent
upon the creation of palaces more
magnificent than any that the civilized
world had seen. The tinanciers of tht
day were at their wits end, as vel
they might be, when, with q griev
ously impoverished exchequer and
growing burden of debt, they wert
called upon to provide for the King
extravagances. What they implied
may be judged by the facts that. afte
all the economies of St. German ant
Necker, the household of Louis XIV
consisted of sixty thousand persons il
incomes varying from $4,000 to ESQ
of our money; that the value of tn
gold lace upon the uniforms and liv
cries of the Maison du Roi entailcd al
annual expenditure of at least ESQ, 900
and that the harem of the King wa
maintained at yearly cost of from
f3, 100000 to lin 1879 G5,8OO,OOO. =

Pickerel-Shooting in Connecticut.

Rare sport has been had for some
time past at Lake Whitney, the source
of New Haven's water supply. This 10
in the shape of pickerel shooting, and
almost daily sportsmen from this city
and elsewhere may be seen along the
shores of the lake, armed with light
twenty-two-caliber rifles. The marks
man steals along the bank, and when
he sees the pickerel lying motionless
as stick in the water, halfway be-
tween the surface and the bottom,
then, if he is posted as to the laws Of
refraction, he aims about two inches
under the fish, and in an instant it is
lying dead on the surface. Two men
from this city day OF two ago shot
fifty good-sized pickerel in two hours.
Care must be taken not TO make any
false motions, as the fish is easily
frightened, and when it darts away It
goes with lightning velocity, and the

erel does not know it again for . goVd
