in 1868, Immediately preceding the
battle OF Mission Ridge, the Well-knOwn
artist, John AntrObus, at the request OF
many prominent citizens, went to Chat
tanooga, Tenn, and on the battlefield
painted the first photograph Of General
U. S. Grant The portrait is full life
size, and was mounted In a massive and
magnificent frame and placed over the
east door of the rotunda Of the United
States capitol, where it remained until
congress passed an act requiring the re-
mOval of all paintings IN the building
not belonging TO the government when
1t was taken down and consigned to the
lumber regions of the capitol basement
by the then commissioner Of public
works, Mr.. French. Here it was left,
unknown to the artist, amid the dust
and dirt for nearly a quarter Of a centu-
rY, while the illustTiOus hero whom It
so faithfully represented was receiving
the well earned plaudits OF a patriotic
and appreciative country. On the 281h
of August, 1889, the painting was pre-
ssDted by the artist to his old friend
". R. Steele, of Washington, who imms-
diatsly applied to the custodian Edward
CLARK, architect Of the capitol, received
the painting and immmediately proceed
ed to restore it. A contract was made
with Professor 81. Widenbach, an expert
artist and picture-cleaner, to put It In
perfect order. Under his skillful hands
the portrait has been thoroughly cleaned,
the frame regilded and mounted with
rich crimson velvet, the canvas newly
lined. and the entire work restored TO its
original beauty. 1t is a painting Of
great historic value. Being the 6rsl por-
trait ever painted of General Grant.
painted on the battlefield during his
prime Of life, it is now attracting the
general attention Of the citizens, ezpec-
iaIly Of grand army people The picture
General Grant IN the fun uni
form OF a Major General with sword by
his side, bareheaded, and surveying the
scene before him With that quiet, calm,
serene manner SO typical Of the great
soldier.

Eow stock should be Fed.

The man who simply throws feed be-
fore his stock and then goes away, does
not do himself or his animals Justice.
He should spend quite a time with them
and OBJ erVs the habits OF each animal
By doing so he viii observe that some
have dainty aPPetites which accounts
for their being out Of sorts. These
should be put by themselves and fed
more carefully. They should have a
change Of diet, and if possible a better
appetite created. Other animals viii
be found to be timid, and they stand
back and only get that which is left,
and Of course, the poorest part. Some
may be far advanced with young, and
such animals should never be left in q
crowd, as they are too liable to be
crowded and jammed and otherwise in
iured. Some important discoveries may
be made by closely observing the stock
while eating and afterwards. A good
stock man viii always be watchful over
his animals, and In this way promote his
own interests, and their better profit. 1t
does animals good sometimes to change
their quarters, Of course not for worse.
This is more of a help for sheep than for
other stock, which often lose their appe-
tites, but by dividing Them up into
smaller hocks they viii start up new and
do better. Some cattle do best alone,
and others want company. This is Ow-
ing to their peculiar dispositions and the
habits they have formed. When two an
imals have been reared together they
viii mourn for each other, but when an
animal is kept with one which hooks and
Is ugly they both viii do better entirely
separated. These things should be no
ted, and the animals treated accordingly

One Of the most adhesive and durable
of cements for uniting iron surfaces is
found to be the oxide of iron itself.
With this a Joint can be made so perfect

that, in removing the cast-irOn pipe of a

cast iron drilings and filings, mixed

Up to the present all mirrors manUfac-
tured In the United States have been
from imported glass. The quality Of
the glass to retain the silvering and give
perfect production Of the object must be
of the best. This quality PitUsburg has
never been able to produce until natural
gas came into use. Now, by its aid, the
fneness Of the glass produced rivals that
Of the imported article. The entire alb
sence OF imPurity, the perfect fusing of
the Ingredients, the rapIdity of the melt

heating or working are the principal ad-
Vantages.

A little girl sat trying to pick out a
seam that she had sewed together wrong.
Her chubby fingers picked at the thread,
that would break, leaving the end hid
den somewhere among tine stitches that
she had labOred so YEARLY to make short
and close; and though the thread came
out, yet the needle holes remained
showing Just how the seam had been
sewed, and with tears In her eyes, she
cried: "Oh, mamma, L cannot undo itI'
You are learning one of the saddest les
sons there is. The desire Of undOing
what can never be Undone gives us more
trouble than all the dOings of a busy
life; and because We know this so well,
our hearts often ache for the boys and
girls we see doing the things they viii
wish so earnestly by and by to undo.
Older boys and girls have felt keener
heart aches for greater faults. You know
something OF the desire to undo, and of
the sorrow that you cannot. And now,
where is the bright sideF Right here.
Let US try to do a thing the first time
so that We viii never wish to undo it.
We can ask our heavenly father. He
never leads us wrong; and anything we
do under his guidance We shall never
wish to undo.

'The light of the future" is to be seen
at the house Of two sisters in Westmin-
ster. This new light is nothing but a
gas jet surrounded by a glass vessel con-
tanning water. The funny part is to be
told: The glass vessel containing water
surrounding the gas Jet so operates
on the light that its brilliancy is
magniied threefold, and the practical
consequence is that a room may by this
means be lighted with one half to one
third of the gas that would he required
under ordinary conditions. If by sur
rounding a flame with water we could
increase its luminosity, then We might
expect it to be about ten times as Light
at the bottom Of the sea as 1t is at the
surface.

Chrlsrine Nilsson.

Christine Nilsson, the singer, is to be
known as the Countess Angel de Miriam
da. Her future husband belonged to
the gilded Bohemia Of Paris when he
went there in the train Of the eziied
Queen Isabella of Spain in 1868. He
was appointed when Alphongo returned
to Spain to a post at the Spanish En-
bassy created for him. Nilsson could
take her husband in her arms and throw
him across a house. She has developed
into powerfully built woman, and he
is the contrary. He is a nice fellow and
said to be kind-hearted.

One Of the tests OF good nature as well
as hospitality is to take people unawares
near meal time. In the old time when
guests were fewer, and travelling more
rare, the visitor was a gOd-send, whose
advent was welcomed and stay prolonged
Perhaps it is not to be expected that
hospitality should remain the same under
new social conditions, nor indeed is it
possible, for people as a rule, that is,
we'll bred people, rarely visit without
being invited; but there are occasions,
when by accident or circumstance, with
out deliberate intention or malice afore-
thought, the necessity Of extending an
invitation or accepting one is forced
upon an individual, aud he or she sits
down to '.potluck." If the spirit Of kind
ness, cheerfulness and willingness pre-
sides at the board. it truly matters very
little what else there is on it, for "pot
luck means any kind OF luck, good, bad
OF Indifferent, and only needs a welcome
to be the best luck in the world, whether
the dinner be Of a rich Joint or only
picked up" There are hOusekeepers
who would gladly be hospitable at such
times, but they are not blessed with
faculty, perhaps not with resources.
They have nothing in the house, 80
which means in the larder, and think
their bill of fare must be supplemented
by costly dishes to make It acceptable.
City people, living within easy reach OF
stores and markets can easily exc ont a
scanty dinner by the addition Of a lob
ster salad or a box Of sardines -viands
usually relished by the most fastidious.
If 1t is in the country, the time a hot
day In August, and people drop In IN
ezPectedly to dinner, set them down to
bread and milk garden salad, bread and
butter, and good homemade berry pie
