An Atalian Cinderella.
Liverpool Post.

The young women of Mentone,
Italy, say that grandmothers used to
tell them the story of Cinderella (whom
they called Cendreusette) as follows
"OHce there was man who had two
daughters one named Catherine andthe
other Cendreusette, and their mother
was not fond OF Cendreusette. One day
she sent her to mind the cow, and gave
her kilo Of cotton to spin, which she
did rot in the least know how to
do, She began to cry and the COW
said to her: Tie the distaff on my
horns and the spindle on my tail, and
put me where there is good grass and
water and | will spin It, When she
went home her mother was con
tent with what she had done. The
sister asked leave to 60 with the
cow the following day, and her
mother gave her also thread to
spin. When she was on the road she
began to cry. Thens said the COW: Put
the distaff on my horns and the spin
die on my tail, and I will spin it.
The girl led her where the other COWS
had already refused the grass, and so,
instead Of spinning, the cow gathered
cabbages for her. The mother, being
angry, then said to them to kill and
eat tbs COW. Cendreusette went to
warn her, when she told her, Take
care 10 eat some of it, and you must
then keep the bones and put them in
a box. Whenever you wish a fine
gown take bone and it will turn into
0ne.' Once her mother was going TO
high mas with her sister; they left
Cendreusette in the kitchen. When
they had gone she took bone and
said: II wish this to turn into a fine
gown, and on it a sun shining, and a
slipper which walks Ey itself She
put them OF and went to church, and
seated herself on a bench near her
mother, who did not know her, but
took her for some fine lady. She had a
fan, and 0A it was pictured the sea
she let it fall; her mother
took it and said to her: You may
keep it; I do not wish it any more.
She hurried home after mass to un-
dress so that her mother should not
know. Next day she went again to
mass, now dressed IN O. gown On
which was the sea, and fishes swim
ming about it. She put herself again
on the bench near her mother. She had
handkerchief with the moon upon it;
she let it fall; her mother took it,
and she would not take it back. After
the high mass she ran away, losing
in her hurry her slipper. The Kings
son found it, and had it cried every

and claim it, and he would make her

Potatoes as a Pig Food.
Our Country Home.

Much Of the value of potatoes as a
hog food depends upon the cooking.
IF fed largely raw they produce scour-
ing and do not all digest, thinks a
writer ia the National Live Stock
Journal. This is due to the fact that
potatoes are composed so largely of
starch as to make cooking an almost
indispensable aid to digestion. A lit
tie raw potatoe is beneficial 10 the
hogs stomach when fed largely upon
corn. It is laxative and cooling, al
laying the feverish tendency arising
from the heating effects Of corn.
When fed to realize the most benefit
from fattening, they should be
boiled soft, ard il grain be
fed with them they should be cooked
together. Potatoes and corn go well
together, the former giving bulk and
the latter c0nceptrat nOurishment.
The potatoes have more value, judic-
iously fed, as promoting health than
for nutriment. Although more nu-
tritious than any other roots, the pc
tato, nevertheless, is rs per cent.
water, SO that It's nutrltive value is
far below that of corn. In fact, it
takes 383 pounds of potatoes to be
equivalent If ndtriment TO 100 pounds
of dry corn.

Some Peculiar People.
Chicago News.

Young Mr.. La Grange, poor fellow,
cannot quit. He can take hold with
confidence enough, but it is the let.
ting go that bothers him. He can
enter a parlor without hesitation or
confusion, but 1t costs him the effort
Of ais life to leave it. When it is
tlme to go he looks at his watch and
does not see what time it is. How
ever, he says he must be going, and
then proceeds not to go. He looks at
his watch again and says: "My, it is
very late, and then every body thinks
he is going now surely, but he isn't.
He wants to, but he can't. He would
give something handsome to be out
on the street, but he doesn't know
how to get there. There is the door,
all unbolted, and nothing to hinder
him, but still he stays, and stammers,
and fumbles his hat and looks st his
watch again and again. Finally he
concocts some falsehood about an
urgent engagement, makes a blind
and reckless dash for the door, and
there he is out on the street, safe
and sound, but very sure that he left
bad impression. AS he quits q room
SO he closes a letter. Having written
all he has to say, he doesn't know
how to bring it to an end. He chews
his pen and racks his brain, and fin
ally shuts his mind and writes in a
scrawling hand: Must close to catch
next mail"
Miss La Grange. She can quit, but
won't. When she has prolonged a
call to the proper limit she rises and
adjusts her cloak. Must you go so
soon. Miss LaGrange?" Yes, she
must, but she doesn't She walks to-
ward the door and comes back to tell
a story. Again she reaches the door
and stops to ask if it IS really true
that So-and-So is going to be married.
This starts the conversation afresh
and she stays the rest of the after
noon. Oh, no, no, no, she can't pos
sibly stay to supper. But she can
stand on the porch and chatter till the
supper is cold on the table, and
every body has caught rheumatism
from the draught. Like her brother,
she closes a letter just as she leaves a
room. She signs her name and then
adds a postscript. After this she
writes across one corner: Glove to
all" On the folded letter she writes
something. more, and finally pens
some forgotten nothing across the face
of the sealed envelope. Oh, how she
hangs ont She can quit but she
won't.

FARM, HOME AND GARDEN.


When you see a ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trousers,
Dirty face and bare red feet,
Pass not by the child unheedlng;
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll not forget 1T;
For, remember, boys make men.
When the boyant, youthful spirits
Overflow in boyish freak,
Glide your child in gentle accents;
Do not in your anger speak.
You must SOW in youthful bosoms
Seeds of tender mercies; then,
Plants will grow and bear good fruItage,
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen a grandsire,
With eyes aglow with joy,
Bring to mind some act of kindness
Something said to him boy?
Or relate some slight of GOODNESS,
With brow all clouded, when
He said they were too thoughtless
To remember boys make men?
Let US try to add some pleasures
To the life of every boy;
For each child needs tender interest
In its sorrows and its joys;
Call your boys home by its brightness;
They'll avoid gloomy den,
And seek for comfort elsewhere
And remember, boys make men.

A London paper asserts that the
highest velocity yet impaired to a
cannon ball is 1, 626 feet per second,
aqual to a mile in 80 seconds. The
velocity OF the earth st the equator,
due to rotation on its axis, is 1000
miles per hour, or mile IN 3 sec
onds; thus, if a cannon ball were fired
due west, and could maintain its
velocity, it would beat the sun in its
apparent journey around the earth.

Hebrides, Its officers say that the ex-
petition landed troops and hoisted the
French flag over the islands of Sandwich
and Malacola. After establishing the
militsry posts deemed necessary for the
protection of French interests, the res
idents, irrespective of nationality, were
notified that France had taken
possession. The Noumean newspapers
congratulate France on her annexation of
the New Hebrides Islands in defiance of
England and her colonies. New South
Wales has dispatched a strong protest to
London against the French annexation.
In the house Of lords this evening Lord
salisbury gave notice that he would ask
tomorrow concerning the unexpected
action of France in the New Hebridss
islands.
Paris, June 1.-THE Temps reasserts
that the government has given no orders

that merely temporary measures have
