People Who Ride Four Hundred Miles
to Attend a Concert.

to Attend a Concert.
[Cor. Boston Gazette.l
had a letter from Miss Clara Louise
Kellogg the other day, in which she de-
scribed part of her tour TO me. She Is
now iourneying through the northwest,
and in all her travels. in Europe or
America, she says she has never had so
interesting a time. There is nothing very
exciting or romantic about the ordinary
thriving western town, but the mining
towns where Miss K ellogg has been sing
ing of late have given her the most piCt-
uresque episodes of her professional
career.
She has travelled all through the Vel
loWstOne region, where she SAYS she failed
to find the brilliant hueS Thomas Moran
gets in his water-cOlOTs. Going through
this country she rode in stages, and usu-
ally occupied the seat with the driver.
These drivers she describes as veritable
characters out of Bret Hartes stories.
They were full of anecdote, and kept her
entertained with their adventures and eX-
periences all along the route.
At Mammoth hot springs she gave
concert on Sunday night at $50 0 clock.
This late hour was to accommodate
people from out of town, from 200 to 100
miles away, who came to hear the sing
ing, for music of the sort Miss hellOg5
and her company gave them IS scarce IN
that part of the country. Some of the
parties carried tents and provisions and
camped out along the wav. After the
concert there was a ball. which did not
begin until after II o'clock midnight,
which made 1t Sunday morning.
MISC Kellogg says that she stayed to
the dance, and not only stayed, but took
part in it, going through the figures Of the
Virginia reel and a quadril,e with cow
boy for a partner. an old ranchman
called off the figures. Every variety of
frontier costume was seen in the dance
red shirts, hickory shirts leather shoot
ing coats, top boots and moccasins, all
making a striking background to the
prima donna's concert dress.
1t was a strange minging of Paris and
Yellowstone fashions. The natives them
selves did not enjoy the fun one whit
more than did Miss Kellogg; indeed, not
as much, for it was a new and interesting
experience to her, while to. them it was
an old, old story.

Where the Ugly Chorus Girl Comes in.
fBrooklyn Eagle.1

"The Mikado" is great opera for ugly
chorus girls. Justice comes in the end to
every one. and the scrawny and unsym-
metrical members OF comic opera Organi-
cations who have been so long relocated
to the rear of the stage, while their more
graceful sisters ca tured salvos of ap-
plause in the front ranks, now have their
innings.
The japanese costumes for women have
a Puritanical design, which would have
caused acute satisfaction to the most
proper of the Pilgrim athers. They are
buried up like so many pillows and there
is not the faintest indication of waist
The girls are Obliged to walk with their
toes turned in. and they wear heelless
slippers of great size. The bigger the
feet and the palmer the face the more
nearly does the girl come to the ideal of
japanese beauty.

SHOT IN A COURTROOM,

Mrs. Rawson, One of the Principals In q
Notorious Divorce Case in Chicago,
Makes q Murderous Attack on One of
Her Opposing Lawyers.
CHICAGO, June 2.-During the session Of
the circuit court, Judge Egbert Jameson
presiding, another startling tragedy oc-
Cured in connection with the notorious
Rawson divorce case. Mrs. America Raw
son shot Mr.. Henry c. Whitney, the attor-
ney of her husband, Stephen W. Rawson,
the banker, in the courtroom, emptying
five barrels of q revolver, two Of the charges
taking effect, inflicting wounds that will
probably prove fatal.
It is understood that Mrs. Rawson has
been in desperate state of mind since the
appellate court on Thursday refused to
grant her solicitors fees, and, in passing
upon the merits Of her pending divorce
suit said inferentially that the testimony
was overwhelmingly against her. 1t is
also understood that Mrs. Rawsop claims
that Lawyer Whitney trumped up all the
testimony which went to show that she had
been guilty Of infidelity to her husband.
Last October Ralph Lee, the son of Mrs.
Rawson by previous husband, shot Mr..
Rawson on public street in this city, for
which crime he is now suffering imprison-
ment Mrs. Rawson is in custody.

Water in Cooking.

All cooks do not understand the
different effects produced by hard and
soft water in cooking meat and vege-
tables. Peas and beans cooked in
hard water, containing lime or gyp-
sum, will not boil tender, because
these substances harden vegetable
caseine. Many vegetables. as onions.
boil nearly tasteless in sofS water, be-
cause all the flavor is boiled out. The
addition of salt often checks this, as in
the case of onions, causing the vegeta-
bles to retain the peculiar favoring
principles, besides such nutritious
matter as might be lost in soft water
For extracting the juice of meat to
make broth or soup, soft water. un-
8 alted and cold at first, IS the best, for
it much more readily penetrates the
tissue; but for boiling where the juices
should be retained hard water or soft
water salted is preferable, and the
meat should be put in while the water
is boiling, so as toseal up the pores at
once. journal Of Chemistry

THE GOBLIN MOTH.
WHY Fruit Growers Should Wage Com
mon War Against the Pest.

Why Fruit Growers Should Wage Conn
mon War Against the Post
A number of years agoJ'hn Dixon.
IN Iowa farmer, discovered the
metho of destroying the Goblin moth
bv spraying the apple trees. at the
close of the blossoming period, with
arsenical poisons dissolved in water.
To him and to Prof. A. j. Cook, who
has done more than any one else in
making the method generally known,
the fruit-growcrs of this country arc
deeply indebted.
The annual total loss to fruit
growers on account of the ravages of
the collin moth and other insects
amounts to millions In some Sec
tions, success in fruit culture is no
longer possible without an unremit-
ing warfare against the insect pests.
to such an extent have they increased.
The method advised by Prot. Couk
is very simple, cheap and effective.
London purple. dissolved in water at
the rate of one pound to q hundred
gallons. is applied with a force pump
throwing strong, fine spray. To
destory tho Goblin moth, the first APP
plication is made just when the bloom
drops, and another two weeks later
The success attending extensive ex-
perimen,s made the past two or three
years has caused quite demand for
spraying machines, and there are u
number of inventions on tho market
this season that do the work thor
oughly.
The suggestion is offered that the
farmers and fruit growers of each
neighborhood form q ''combine,' and
wage common war against the COM
mon enemy: The larger machines
could be purchase and mon employed
to do the work thoroughly, spraying
every orchard and fruit tree in the
community
A destructive warfare waged all
along the line would prove much more
effectual in the end than tho skirmish-
ing attacks by individual fruit grow
ers here and there. --Farna and Fire.

HUSBANDRY HINTS.

INDUSTRY, perseverance and economy are
tho elements Of success in any calling, par.
ticularly 80 in agriculture. ..
THERE is no reason why the farmer can
not stand on level with his brothers in
other callings, intellectually, In this age OF
cheap editions Of good literature.
Tue man has not yet turned up who, at
harvest, blamed himself for cultivating the
crop too well, or in his old age regretted
that he had not indorscd for q friend oftener.
FoR the first meal to little chickens
prominent poultryman recommends boiled
eggs chopped fine, shells and all, with
baked corn cake crumbled into scalded milk.
MANY believe that corn has higher nu-
tritive value il cut when the grain is well
formed. DR.. Collier has made more than
100 analysis Of corn fodder in all stages of
growth which proves that the f1dder &c
tually increases in nutritivo value until the
sars shall have become ripe.
THERE is no fixed ratio Of gain in stock.
In all experiments that have been made it
has been demonstrated that even with ami

A CORRESPONDENT Of the Rural NeD Yorker
suggests that q good way to SOW large
field with oats is to go around, instead of
crossing back and forth, keeping the geared
wheel of the seeder on the outside, SO thatit
will sow in turning the corners then, when
you come to harvesting, 60 around the samo
way; then your last sowing will he cut last
IT is great mistake not to sow grass seed
enough to secure fair stand. A peck Of
clover seed and a peck of timothy is not too
much to sow on land in good condition
Much less would do if it all grew, but it will
not, and tho birds will carry off some of it.
It is far cheaper to pay a little extra for
seed than to have weed patches all over the
field to inflict positive damage by their
growth.
A CORRESPONDENT in Farm and Garden
writes: II wish all horscmen knew tho
valuC Of sunflower seed. It is not only one
81 the best remedies for the heaves, but a
horse that has recently foundered can be
entirely cured by giving half a pint twice a
day for awhile in his feed. took an other
wise valuable young horse last fall which
was so stiff that you could hardly get it out
OF its stall, and in two weeks you would not
know that any thing was tho matter with
it, and it has been all right ever since."

Marked for Life.

CHICAGO, June 2.-As G. K. Murray, a
travelling salesman for an Eastern house,
was writing note in the rotunda of the
Adams Express building on Dearborn
street, yesterday, G. T. Bell, city drum
mer for lithograph firm, coolly entered
and walking close behind Murray drew a
razor from his pocket, and with one blow
severed Bells left ear from his head,
placed his trophy in his pocket and left the
building. Bell made no outcry or attempt
to arrest the progress of his assailant, but
proceeded at once to secure the services of
a physician. The affair is shrouded in
mystery, even the usually keen scented
Chicago reporters being unable to unravel
it. From all that can be learned, how
ever, it is thought that Bell, in the role of
an injured husband, took this novel method
