FRANCE AND ENGLAND,

Contrast Between Them in Respect &c
Land Cultivation.
The case of Flanders is always cited
as an illustration of the benefits OF
peasant proprietorship, and there, it
is stated, the small farms own more
cattle, yield more produce, and are
more carefully cultivated than the large
farms. 81 have seen in Belgium" says
Mr.. Arnold, women scratching with
their fingers fair crops of potatoes
from nearly white sand-a miracle Of
agricultural industry, of thrift and Of
perseverance, such as belongs only to
peasant proprietorship.
In France, again, it is said that agri-
cultural land fetches higher price
than in England, and that the largest
clear produce and the best cultivation
are, on the whole, that of the peasant
proprietors. AZ. Laveleye asserts posi-
lively that the richest and most pro-
ductive provinces in France are those
in which the small land owners are in
a majority, and Mr.. Cliffe Leslie, in
in the chapter he contributes to
the volume on the Systems of Land
Tenure of Various Countries" pub
lished by the Golden Club, has much
to say in the same direction. The reply
to all this. fairly enough, is, that France
is not England. and that in France there
are special circumstances of soil and
climate-associated with vine growing,
fruit culture and the like-which render
the country appropriate to ''la petite
culture. A peasant proprietor in
France can, on ten acres of land, make
ends meet and put little into the FAM
lily stocking every year, but it does
not follow that peasant proprietor of
ten acres in England could do the same.
1t is all very well to urge market gar
dening; but the demand for garden
produce is not limitless, and is already
sbundantly supplied, partly at home,
out mostly from foreign countries more
bountifully qualified by nature for the
the Year Round.

-Mending Leather: A cement which
is recommended for leather betting, but
which is probably equally serviceable in
covering WORKOUT places, ETC., is given
as follows: Take common glue and
American isinglass, equal parts; place
them in boiler and add water just suf-
ficient to cover the whole. Let it soak
ten hours, then bring the whole to
boiling heat. and add pure tannin until
the mixture becomes ropy, or appears
like the white of eggs. Apply it warm.
Buff the grain off the leather where it is
to be cemented, rub the joint sufaces
soiidly together, let it dry for a few
hours, and it is ready for practical use,
and if properly put together it will not
need riveting.-Harper's Bazar.

HORSE AGAINST poo.
The Fierce Battle Between q Spirited
Steed and an Enraged Canine.
Tsorn ervsila IN IL Snac,.I1

81 lsomerVtiio en- ID Spectal.1
Yesterday afternoon . fierce bull dog
and vicious young mare, belonging r
George Runyon, farmer of Stanley, N
j. engaged in curious fight. The dog
and the horse were stable companions, but
the latter had o strong dislike for thu
former. The mare broke her halter yester.
day and seized the dog in her teeth. The dog
retaliated by biting the horses nose. The
two now thoroughly Infatuated brutes then
fought desperately. The dog would spring
at it's foe. only to be sent flying clean
across the barn. The wild neighs and
kicking and barks attracted number of
people to the scene, but none dare inter-
fere with the frenzied combatants. The
dog secured 8 firm grip on the mares
neck, and was tossed and knocked against
the sides OF the building in the attempts
made by the horse to dislodge him. The
mare finally lowered her head, and placing
her fore foot on the dogs body, literally
tore it Off. In one OF it's mad rushes the dog
was seized by the mare and thrown nearly
to the top of the barn, but it returned to
the fight immediately.
At last the dog sank its fangs into the
fore-leg Of the mare, and in attempting
to reach the dogs head the horse fell
directly on its foe and crushed it's life out.
The victorious animal gave a shrin neigh,
and turning, kicked the body of the dog
until 1t was crushed into shapeless mass,
When Mr. Runyon returned he entered
the stable and found the mare trotting
about the place, weak from loss of blood.
Her legs and neck were horribly lacerated
and the sinews laid bare, while her nose
was almost gone. AS the animal could not
live, it was shot.
The mare was a valuable one, but SO
high tempered that none but her owner
could approach her safely. The dog was
priced very highly on account of its cour-
age and usefulness as watch dog.

Kate Luther, of Galena, Ford County,
Ind. who is 1neal descendant of Martin
Luther, had both bones of her right leg
broken in curious manner. She was
standing in the snow about ankle deep,

shock scarcely staggered her, and hardly
caused her pain, but when she attempted
to step she found it impossible, and in
vestigation showed that both bones Of the
leg were broken.

English Women Who Ride.

London Letter in Boston Herald
The Princess Louise, Marchioness of
Lorne, is said to be the best rider of
the queens daughters. While her
husband was governor general of
Canada the fair Louise was regarded
Is q positive marvel on horseback.
Princess Beatrice rides we'll, prefering
Scotland and fleet, sturdy Scotch pom
les, however. We can imagine her
bounding over the heather blooms,
waving in purple richness OF coloriny
on the slopes. Her favorite pony
isa tidy little hill pony named "Bren-
da.' This is the name of one OF the
very tenderest OF the current writer's
in England for children We fall to
wondering if there is any connection
between the two names. The graceful
princess OF Wales, the queens daugh.
ter-ls2-law, rides faultlessly, SO at least
reports David Anderson, the very YER
satile leader writer of the London
Telegraph, who accompanied the
princs:and suite 10 Ireland last year.
We never had the pleasure OF seeing
the princess ride, bat can well believe
Mr.. Anderson, because the princess is
a Dane ;and the Danes usually ride
well. But we believe the queen herself
once rode better than any of her
children. This is the opinion Of "our
DrieAess ;harrister,' who generally
Knows what he is talking about.

Tourists in California.
ON the San Francisco Bulletin.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
A well informed citizen the other
day gave it as his opinion that there
were not less than 10000 invalid
tourists in California. He qualified
his statement by saying that there
were at least that number
who had come to the Sta durino
the Wlntermonths for considerations
OF health. These do not represent ali
who have come here as tourists. "a
is safe tosay that there are as many
more who have entered the State
since the lst Of last December for
business considerations quite aside
from health. Whoever has examined
closely the list Of arrivals by rail will
be struck with this new immigration
feature: There can be no doubt that
this Winter influx OF population is
intimately connected with the pros
perlty OF the State. Already the
industrial character Of Southern
California has been entirely changed.
1t amounts to a revolution. The
10000 Winter tourists in California,
are rather the small number in ad-
vance, because in this Spring month
the current OF travel to California,
never was so strong. This is partly
on account of the low fares. Account.
however, must be taken Of consider
able outward drift. Thousands are
taking advantage OF low rates to visit
the Eastern States. But nearly all OF
them will return. Never before could
the travler cross the Continent for so
small an expenditure or with so much
comfort. There are crowds around
all the ticket offices. New announce
ments are made nearly every day. Tt
IS common expression that it is
cheaper to travel than to stay at
home. The competition which results
in rate cutting will probably not last
long. The overland trains are long,
and the incoming trains are even
longer. Travellers are everywhere.
They fill the country hotels, inquire
about lands and crops, and make
Investments here and there which
appear to be quite free from any
speculative excitement. The past
Winter has contributed great ly TO the
enjoyment of tourists There has been
very little rough weather. The rains
came down seasonably. The face of
the country was fresh with springing
grass in December. Wild flowers were
on the hillsides before New Years.
The fields of grain were, in many cases,
SO rank at midwinter that cattle were
turned in to pasture them down. The
roads were muddy, but mud is quite
as agreeable as dust. In the middle
OF March the orchards are in bloom,
the soft breezes of Spring ripple the
grain fields, the showers come at the
right time to keep the grass fresh and
to make all the gardens bloom.

A Russian Court Fayorite.

Princess Natalie Kuraxin, says the
London Figaro, was an imposing
beauty, with the temper of fend,
and became the most admired and
feared woman at the court of the late
Emperor Alexander. Her husband
ldOliZed her, but unfortunately al
lowed her complete control over him.
TO indulge her love for luxury, he
went beyond his means, and then
sold one estate after another One
night, when she was adorned in full
splendor for a court ball, the general
kept her waiting. At last he came,
greatly excited, with red face and
flashing eyes. She supposed the
excitement was caused by wine, and
told him so in vehement words. s.No
darling" he protested; s'look!" and
ne handed her a. package OF rouble
notes. Bah she cried, II will cure
you OF clubs and gaming!' and she
threw them into the fire. Heshrielsed
in despair, and rushed forward to
save them. Too late! There was a
bright blaze, and they were go e.
Natalie" he said, in a hollow voice,
"you have just destroyed our whole
fortune. To-day I received orders
from the Emperor to join the army
III the Caucasus tomorrow. In order
to secure yours and our sons future,
[ to-day sold our last estate, and
everything now is in ashes" Gen.
kurakin was killed in one OF his first
engagements in the Caucasus, and
Natalie became the most heartless OF
widows.

A Photographic Hat.

The last new thing in hats beats all
chat has gone before it, and is scarcely
likely to be :equaled by anything that
can follow after it. Herr Luders, OF
Gorlitz, has patented ''a Photographic
hat"--or, as we ought rather to say, a
photographing hat. The novel head
dress contains in it's upper part small
Photographic, apparatus and number
OF prepared pilates. In the front of the
nat there is a small circular opening, be
hind which the lens isfxed By means
of string on the outside Of the hat it's

joying pleasant view or attended by

or the gentleman unconscisusly within
range of bis instrument. Ihe hat will
probably be in demand by two sorts of
persons by lovers and detectives. The
former, by merely pulling "a string. can
set the image of his beloved not only in
mis- heart, but in his hat The geEatine-
bromide plates in the specimen exhibited
by Herr Luders are 38x38 millimetres
in size; but, If one does not object 20
wearing a very large hat, the plates
may be proportionately increased in
size. The potentiality Of the hat for
police purposes hardly needs to be de-
scr;hed. st. James, Gazette.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
EGGS AND ham.

EGGS AND HAM.
A nice way to serve eggs with broiled
ham is to butter some patty tins,
sprinkle conscientiously with fine
crumbs of bread, break an egg into a
saucer, and then, without disturbing
the yolk, pour it into the tin. Set the
tins into a hot drippingpan and let
them stand in the oven until the white
is cooked. Then after putting the thin
pieces of nicely broiled ham upon hot
platter, take the eggs from the oven
and turn out on the ham. It is not
necessary to close the oven door while
the eggs are in it, and indeed it is bet
ter not to do so.
FIG PUDDING.
Three-quarters of a pound of grated
bread, half a pound of best figs, six
ounces of suet, six ounces of moist SUI
gar, a teaspoonful of milk and little
nutmeg grated. The figs and suet
must be chopped very fine. Mix the
bread and suet first, then the figs, sugar
and nutmegs, one egg beaten well, and
lastly the milk Boil in a mold four
hours. To be eaten with sweet sauce.
LEMON PUDDING.
Cream up one tablespoonful Of fresh
butter with one teacupful of sugar.
Two eggs must be beaten up very light
and two lemons provided for season
ing. Dissolve a tablespoonful of corn
starch in little cold milk, then pour
over it a teacupful of boiling water.
Add to this the butter, sugar and eggs.
Rub the lemons until soft, CRATE the
rind into the batter and also strain in
to it the juice. Bake in puff paste.
This quantity makes two buildings and
will be found very nice.
