Several Entertaining Para
graphs.

The buffers pantry which contains
the $4,000 dinner set of Mrs.
George w. Childs, of Philadelphia
would delight any housekeeper having
spark OF enthusiasm for things dear
to woman heart. Ceiling and walls
are paneled with the heart of black
walnut set in mahogany, and there
are cupboards, storerooms and recep-
tacles enough to hold all the appurte-
nances of lavish hospitality. As if
these were not enough the story above
reached by stairs at one side of the
pantry. is filed with storerooms
grooming under the weight ofprecious
porcelain and crystal, much of which
deserves TO be treated as separate
work Of art Let us see how the
table is set for one Of those dinuer
parties for which even ouly small
portion OF this collection is drawn
upon. AS it usually stands il is
covered by q scarlet spread of Orient
al cashmere, heavily embroidere I with
bullion thread la the centre is
mirror lake, four feet long by three
feet high 1t bears a centre piece in
richly chased silver gilt yasiform,
and finished at the top with eight
burners, though it is used for flowers.
1t has q aoriatod gilt border
of open work smiling at its reflections
several inches from the table. The
end pieces, of silver and gilt candel-
abra, also richly chased and support
ed and finished by winged grifius,
are nearly eighteen inches high and
contain each three burners. These
are also decorated with flowers and
vines
Standing by the candelabrum at one
end of the table is silver and gilt
wine cooler, one foot in height, with
four raised circular panels of cubid
and graces The corresponding ar
ticle at the opposite extremity is a
crystal bowl, fifteen inchesin diameter
and nearly as high, used for flowers
Amidst the collection of crystal is
set of Bohemia champagne glasses,
which are so unique and beautiful as
to challenge universal admiration.
They were presented by General
Grant. The silver contains too many
pieces to enumerate, embracing speci
mems of many varieties of manufact-
ure Only a small portion of the
sterling plate is in use at any one
time. A large soup tureen and its
salver are elegant in form and finish.
The plates are edged with gilt band
a-half inch wide, on ground of white,
with garlauds Of small, brilliant,
many-colored flowers looped against
the narrow turquoise blue band just
within the gilt The monogram of
Mr. Childs Of the same flowers, an
inch or more in diameter, fills the
middle OF the plate.

The Farmer and His Farm
i'm August

August may be very busy month,
vet there is no month in the year
when many farmers can better take
play spell, and make a journey to
the mountains, or to the seaside with
their families, tarrying on the way to
visit friends or famous stock farms,
or diaries or cheese factories or other
objects of interest. Summer crops
are ''laid by" the turnip crop is in,
winter grains are safe in stack or NOW
spring grains may be ready to cut
and as soon as this is done, comes
the farmers holiday. How much
good it does the whole family, who can
be spared from the superintendent
OF the house, the farm and the dairy
to take such vacation. All should
have their turn though they can go
but one or two at time and no one
should be more sure to go than she
whom it is SO hard to persuade to
leave, even for one day, the daily
round of home duties--the good
house mother. Turnips will make a
good crop, sown the first week IN
August even Swedes do well on light
rich land and the small roots as big a
round as pint cup, are more market
able than bigger ones. After the
rains soften the sward we may plow
for wheat, and in some sections it
is great advantage to SOW early and
seed to grass. In some sections the
practice of early seeding to grass,
without the intervention of grain
crop, is successfully followed. this
only abstracts value from the soil
which would otherwise be appropriat-
ed by the grass. Early blowing is a
great advantage to land intended for
winter grain, especially if weedy or
if somewhat stiff repeated working
mellows the soil makes sure of a good
catch of grass seed and defends
against winter killing. In case the
season is dry-and it generally is,
over great part of the country-no
more favorable time can be selected
for digging drains with view to
improving swamps. If the actual
retaining cannot now be pushed
the land may easily be dried, so that
it can be grubbed and further ditched
during the autumn and winter -

TUITION.
Senator ingalls, of Kansas wants con
siitutional amendment adopted that shall
make the presidential term begin on the
9oth OF April, instead OF the lth Of March
Justwhat advantage there may be in the
change Of dato is not perceptlble unless
II is that the weather at Washington
City is more fayora5leto open,air cere-
monies attending the inaugural on the
3Oth of April than ON the 4th of March.
The early days Of March areraw and
cold In Washington, aud the crowds
there would perhaps prefer any oiher
time of year for the change of govern
msnt President Harrison's death re-
suited from cold that he took while de-
lAeripg his Inaugural address from, the
front portlco q the capital, exposed to
the chilling March wind ao
IA Pecple'gonerally suppose that we begin
the presidential term on the TN OF March
because Washington entered upon the
duties Of the office on that day. This is
mistake. Congress- by previous agree
mcnt, without, apparently, any special
design, named the 4th OF March AS the
day on which the new government was TO
be set In motion, and ON that day some
eight senator's and thirteen representa-,
tiros took their seats In the old Federal
hall In Now York, but twas more than a
month before enough members were got
together TO make quorum for business
Washington was not lnaugurated until
the SQtb Of the following Aprp That date
Is the one suggested by Senator ingalls,
for the commencement of the presidential
term, aud he probably selected II 10
squaye future presidential terms with
the beginning. 1t isnsual to say
that Washington was president FOR eight
years, IN fact, he was not. lie lacked
almost two months as muchsras tho
period from Mareh to April so-of serv.
ing eight years II the ingalls, sugees-
sipn should become constitutional, Inc
president IN qiliep when the change Is
made would have 10 STRIVE from March
when his oIilcial Rfe ends, 10 April 40.
When his Successors begins; OF theeoun.
try win hayeto do Without president
during that iimo
We do not think the American psople,
who have been accustomed 10 seeing
their presidents take up oHlce on The an
OF March tor about one hundred wears,
have found any pressing demand for 4
ehapge Theyiare not so fond Of copstl
tuition tlnkering as to make the change
for the novelty Of it.
