A MAINE ECCENTRIC.

He Was q Great Grammarlan, and an
Enemy of Drugs and Doctors.
The greatest Maine-born grammari-
an once lived at Rumford, just above
| the great rocks where the water
pitches over Rumford Falls. He is
said never to have written Or spoken
a sentence after he was fifteen years
old which was not grammatically COR
rect. He died about twelve years ago.
Many people in Rumford we'll recollect
Thomas Irish, the old-fashiOned teach
| er in ancient district schaol-houses.
Some time before his death Brown, the
author of Browns celebrated grammar,
spent several days with this great
Rumford scholar, listening to the roar
of Rulnford's falls and obsorbing
Grammarian Irish's fine points. In
one edition of Browns grammar can be
found foot-notes on difficult construc-
tions. etc, edited by Thomas Irish, OF
RumfOrd. Like many men of genius
he was a peculiar chap as they say.
If he met you on the street in a dry
time of year, he invariably said: e'The
sounding of the grinding is low. The
pitcher may as well be broken at the
fountain" He always had peculiar
dislike for doctors and drugs, and rare
ly could be persuaded to take the mild
est kind of medicine when he was on
the sick bed. Several years before his
death he experienced severe illness.
The doctors told him that his life de-
pended on his keeping quiet in bed for
at least a month. Mr.. Irish fretted
about his potatoes and turnips On a
sick bed for about week, when one
day, as the physician called, the pa
tient was not to be found. They hunt
ed high and low, and finally found the
grammarian hoeing potatoes in the
field in his night robe.
And when the man with the medi-
cine chest stepped into his room to ask
if he was comfortable he thus saluted
him: mo more of your nauseating,
filthy drugs, sir. If rally it will be
from the bounties of my Widespread
table" He partially recovered from
his illness, and one day, meeting his
old doctor on the street, told him that
it was no use, he was worn out, and il
was time for him to pass in his checks.
The doctor cheered him up as best he
could, and said: 80, no, Tom, you're
good for two years yet" '.Do you
|think SOP" asked Mr.. Irish. II GER
tainly do" replied the doctor 'Well,
then, suppose you're right, and I'll
do as you say,n said Thomas Irish,
and he drove off whistling Yankee
Doodle" Exactly two years from
that day he lay on his death-bed, and,
looking into his physicians face, said:
''You gave me two-years' lease after
I thought had given the old ship up,
and I've taken it. The two years are
ended to-day, and l can't stay any
longer" And thus this eccentric man
died.-Leaoisto,s (Ale. Journal.

HOW TO RAISE CREAM.
Advantages Of the Three Systens Nov 1
General Use.

Advantages Of the Three Syptenns nov -
General Use.
There Is practically very little difier.
ence in the three ways of scparakinE
cream, viz: setting the milk in shallow
pans; setting it in deep pals in tanlks
of cold water, or separating It by the
use of the centrifuge. Each method
has its advantages under special cir
cumstances; and when the special con-
veniences prevail then each method IL
the best under those circumstances.
With careful management one is as
good as another. For six years the
shallow setting and the deep-paiI
method were prac.iced in my dairy.
and in all that time with hundreds OF
very careful experiments and compar-
isons, could not detect any difference
in the results as regards the quality
and quantity of the butter made; but
there was very great difference in
regard to convenience. In the use OF
the shallow pans regular temper
ature must besmaintained, and this re-
quires constant supervision, the use OF
ice in the summer and of heat in the
winter.
Where a running spring is availa-
BILE and ice can be procured without
buying it too dearly, the deep setting
system Is preferable. The milk is
kept in pure air because the running
water removes atmospheric impuri-
ties, and the milk is not exposed to
voluminous currents The temperature
is easily regulated, and the labor OF
cleansing cans is greatly reduced.
One important advantage of deep set
ting is the sweet skimmed-milk which
is available for feeding calves or for
sale or use in making cheese. All
these items have to be considered on
either side in comparing the two
methods.
No doubt where sufficient number
Of cows are kept to warrant the ex-
pense, a centrifuge, to be operated by
hand or by horsepower, will be found
the most convenient and economical.
The labor is reduced to minimum;
there is no washing of pans or deep
pals; the skinned milk is sweet and
fresh for any use, and the cream is
fresh and can be subjected to the
ripening process to prepare it for
churning, in the most satisfactory
manner. This is matter of cost
against work. The machine will cost
three or four times as much as a, deep
setting apparatus, but much less
costly dairy building will be needed
Considering, however, the cost of the
machine (over one hundred dollars) OF
the smallest size for hand or horse
power against the saving of other ap-
paratus and labor, it is a matter to be
decided if the expense or the work is
the more onerous. Henry .SteDayG, IN
Rural NeaO Yorker.

SMYRNA'S FIG MARKET.
How the Toothsome Fruit Is Prepared fO
Shipment.

How the Tootllsome Fruit Is Prepared for
Shipment.
The fig market at Smyrna has an
appearance scarcely in accord with
the importance of its transactions or
the area over which it's goods are ulti-
mately distributed. Two narrow, dir
ty streets, lined with shanties, are de-
voted to the staple industry of the
place. 1t is with figs as other highly
priced articles of food, the less we
know OF the earlier stage of them the
greater our comfort in their consump-
ton. The sacks are laid out in the
open street, and block up the whole
thoroughfare but for narrow passage
through which the eamels thread their
way. Passengers have to scramble
along as best they can. The sacks are
heaped up two or three strata high.
1t is arduous work clambering over
them. The goat-hair bags make q
slippery surface, but if you fall, at
least you are not hurt. These sacks,
when they are of the full size, weigh
about two kintals (say 250 pounds)
apiece, and two of them form a camel
load. It is curious that you never see
more and never see less than the two
sacks. Some kind of prescription fixes
the burden, quite without regard to the
capacity of the bearer. Some of the
camels are sturdy beasts, that could
easily bear more than five hundred
pounds ON their backs, while others
are weak and weary; the load is al
ways the same. Into these two streets
at market time come the Greek mer-
chants, who are the middlemen in the
fig trade. Indeed, there are many
middlemen, and several series of profits
are realized before the article reaches
the consumer. As rule, the Greeks
sell to the packers. who in turn sell to
the shippers; though sometimes the
shippers buy and pack for themselves.
The packing is, perhaps. the most
characteristic stage in the whole proc
ess. First, there is the resorting, and
this duty IS trusted to women,

FRAGMENTS OF SOAP.
How Economical Housekeepers Can Utilize

How Economical Housekeepers Can Utilize
Them to Advantage.
Gather together all the pieces o1
white soap that you may have, CASTLE
and any others that are known to be
good. Cut them into small pieces and
dissolve in boiling water in the pro-
portion of tea-cup of water to half a
cup of scraps. As soon as the scraps
have melted and while the water is
still hot stir in ground out-meal to
make stiff-batter. Grease some old
cups and pour enough of this mixture
in for small cake and set it aside to
harden and dry. You have now a very
nice soap that is excellent for daily use
in the nursery; or the mixture may be
made just little thinner and kept in
lineup to be brought out as soft,
white soap at the children's baths.
For the boys and girls tri-daily hand
scrubbing stir the batter very stiff with
oatmeal bran or wheat middlings and
mould into fiat cakes. These have a
roughness that is necessary to remove
ink stains, pitch and the many defiling
substances with which every healthy
boy and girl seems to come in contact.
For fancy hand soap, melt all to-
gether the pieces of any colored toilet
soaps, provided, of course, that they
are good, and do not contain injurious
materials; stir in a few drops of per-
fumery and very little Indian meal.
Pour this into shallow dishes (fancy-
shaped if you wish), and when partly
cold stamp on a pattern and mold the
corners OF the cakes round, or cut into
shapes with a cake-cutter.
The scraps of yellow soap may be
put into the soap-shaker-a wire re-
ceptacle for holding soap that is to be
shaken in the dishwateP; but for those
who have no such implement this is a
way of disposing of them, Dissolve
the pieces as before, using less hot
water. and when the mixture has
partly cooled stir in a quantity las
much as it willfake nicely of scour-
ing sand or bath brick scraped fine:
pour into wooden box and stir often
until cold. This is excellent for scour-
ing tins and cleaning unpainted shelves
and floors, but will, of course, remove
the paint from woodwork. Yellow
soap may, like the white, be simply
dissolved and left to stiffen little to
be used as soft soap.-Ladies' Home
