A Delightful Residence.

During the past three or four years the
erection in this village of number of new
and handsome dwellings, built in the Queen
Anne style of architecture, has served to
break up the monotonous, and somewhat
severe outlines one is apt to find in the
habitations of men outside the great cities
and their surroundings. Picturesqueness
in art has thus been made to supplement
picturesqueness in nature, and the alli-
ance has been very much to the advantage
of the external appearance of the town.
The latest addition to the list of structures
of this kind, recently completed and occu-
pied, is the residence of Mr.. George II,
Wilder on Barre street. The peCuliarity
externally in the plan of this house is
its curved outline, assuming the shape of
the letter j in horizontal position, the
curvature extending rearward and to the
right A broad piazza shelters the front
and the rounded end. The distinguishing
features of the Queen Anne style are repro
duced in the architectural lines and adorn-
ments with an unusually pleasing effect
the curved end of the j rising in a conical
tower. The front entrance is through a
vestibule with tiled floor into a spacious
hall extending across the house and re-
ceiving light from a stained glass window at
the rear, On the right, the parlor and music
room and ON the left, the dining-room, are
entered through folding-doors, the three
apartments and the hall being thrown into
one when desired. On the left of the hall
is also a recess for the telephone and a lava
tory, and further along is a passage-way to
the kitchen. These rooms are all finished
in white wood. The paror, decorated and
furnished with refined taste aud elegance is
a remarkably attractive room, the peculiar
plan of the house replacing with - lines of
beauty" the conventional angularity of
shape. An elegant mantel and "A fire. place,
with its suggestions of cheerfulness, are
among the appointments of the room. The
music-room opens also from the paror, and is
a gem in design and in the style and charac-
ter of its finish and furniture. 1t is pro-
vided with fireplace, and here is an ele-
CANT Knabe grand piano, whose notes are
dulled or smothered neither by drapery,
carpets nor upholstery. Its rattan furniture
and finish of polished hard-wo ood interpret the
tones of the instrument in all their power and
beauty. 1t is a room devoted to the divine
art" Of which Mr.. and Mrs. Wilder are ar
dent disciples, and all its appointments are
In keeping with its purpose. II a rare com
bnaton of the practical and nsth etic
conduce to appetite and good digestion, the
dining'room should be promoter of good
health and serene enjoyment for those who
break their fast within its tasteful and we'll
ordered precincts. The commodious and
well'arranged china-closet, and the means
OF communicating with the divinity of the
kitchen would win the approval of the
most exacting housekeeper A notable ar
ticle of furniture here Is sideboard OF

In the preparation of the Jewish
passover bread, the kneading is done
in the ordinary way. Pure gunpow-
der water is the only component add
ed. The time for the dough to be
baked is reduced to the minimum. 1t
is broken into flat cakes, and then run
between rollers into very thin sheets.
Over these workmen roll a pronged
steel to perforate the dough, SO that
air holes may be seen in baked cakes.
A steel hoop cuts the dough into
round, fiat sheets, which are then
ready for the oven. The baker then
stands with a paddle attached to a
very long handle. With the aid of a
boy he thrusts the cakes into the brick
compartment, and in half a minute
pulls them out ready for use. A mat
zath cake is round, about four feet in
diameter, somewhat Drowned, and
having slight air hole projections on
its surface. They have a rather pleas
ant taste, not unlike that of crackers,
and make a good substitute for bread.
In some places there is a demand
throughout the entire year for the I'M
leavened cakes by ~dyspeptics. About
eight cakes-weigh a pound, whiehSn
large quantities sell at eight cents.
The cakes r very brittle, and their
pieces are ground up into fine meal.
This is.the substitute for wheat flour
in the household during the passover.

Going Home to Wed.

The father of Koo, an attache of the
Chinese legation, is treasurer of the
imperial government, and, of course, a
man of high station. In the society
of the court circle at Pekin young Koo
met a maiden wondrous fair, wooed
and won her after the approved Chinese
fashion. But rank is more than love in
that despotic land, and Koo's parents OBJ
jected to the proposed marriage. They
did more-they bundled the young man
off to America and told him there he
would stay till he consented to give up
his inamorata and wed a young lady of
his rank his mother had selected for Him.
Now Mr.. Koo yields to parental au-
thority, and journeys home to marry a
maiden he has never seen, but who is
said TO be a belle. Unless the examples
and traditions of America, with which
Mr.. Koo has been surrounded for more
than three years, have been lost upon
him he will go to Pekin, obtain his
mothers blessing and one of his fathers
fat checks, and then marry the girl of
his choice. But the odds are that he
won't. Ancestors, living or dead, are
supreme in "China.-Washington Letter.

The system of taxation is quite I'M
like that of other countries. Taxes
outside of Picking are paid on arabic
land only, the tax varying with the
crop producing quality of the soil. In
side the city Of Peking there is nc tax
on land, houses or personal property.
Goods brought to the city gate pay a
lekin tax, but are exempt from taxa
ton afterward. The only tax on land
and houses in Peking is on the sale of
real estate, 10 per cent. being charged
on the price obtained for the property
sold. There is also a tax resembling IL
cense fee. Outside of Picking, Chinese
subjects are liable to be called on to per-
form certain duties whenever the en-
peror passes through their districts,
but this duty may be avoided by the
payment of a small tax. All money
spent on public account in Peking
comes from the imperial treasury,
and the expenditure is not limited to
funds raised by taxation within the
city. The bulk Of the people in Pc
king pay no taxes whatever. The
man who owns his house and Let and
implements of labor enjoys his earn
ings without tax OF deduction. Bank

Amonkey and a half grown kitten that
lived in the same house in New York
furnished much entertainment to the
family by their pranks, or rather by the
monkeys pranks, to which the kitten
submitted as if she liked them.
The monkey was chained so that puss
could easily keep out of his way if she
chose, but many times a day she strayed
carelessly within his reach. She might
be careless, but he was not; he knew the
instant she crossed the line into his do
minion, and pounced on her, snatching
at a leg, an ear or the tail, always if pos
sible the latter, which he seemed to re-
gard as n convenient handle. Then be-
gan the ~froliCs; he shook her till her teeth
chattered-it is to be supposed; he Rugged
her till she cried; he swung her by the
tail; climbed with her to the top of his
post, and held her like a baby while he
dressed her fur-after a fashion-poked
apart her toes, examined her ears, and
otherwise interested himself in her anat-
omy.
But his browning delight was to sit on
her. Holding her down to the ground
with one firm little hand, he deliberately
planted himself on her warm, soft, fur
covered ribs as if she had beer a cushion.
Though he was not very big, being
about twice the size of the kitten, and
she had her claws, the use of which
would instantly release her, she often let
him enjoy his comfortable seat till the
family nterfered.-Youth's Companion.

81 should not wish any one to say that
of my wedding" she confessed, seri-
ously.
"Npr l." he assented, speaking as seri-
ously, but with a daring light in his eyes,.
81 shall try to nave a very different kind
If you approve"
Five minutes later the grating of car
riage wheels on the gravel drive at the
other side of the house made itself heard,
succeeded by hasty footsteps, which fol-
lowed the sound of a calling voice.
Papa. papa" cried the voice, "come
herel Come here as quick as you can.
Papa, this is Mr.. Brooks, and he has
asked me to marry him, and he kissed
me, and won't say that he is sorry. Tell
him your opinion of such conduct"
There was an instant OF. silence. A
stern, steady gaze on the part of the older
man; n firm front and as steady a gaze
on that of the younger. Then this ter
rible father, this tyrant with the violent
temper, turned quietly toward his child
and took her hand in his.
Tell me what you think of the re-
quest, little daughter" he said, bending
over her, and | will tell Mr.. Brooks
what l think Of the other"
"You behaved magniicently," she
said to her accepted sutton. 'If you had
seemed n bit afraid, l should have been
provoked with myself for caring for you.
You see, l AVE never had a man friend
who was not in terror if papa showed
his face. Just because papa is splendid
and silent, they fairly seem to grovel be-
fore him. So when l found that you did
not quake at the monstrous idea you had
formed of him, I was tempted to see if
you could be made to quake. 1t was a
test, but was on your side all the time,
hoping that you would win."
"a kind of fairy tale ending" hesaid,
laughing. "If the young man guesses
the riddle, he marries the princess; if
not, off with his headT'
"With the difference that this young
man would have married the princess in
the end whether he had guessed the
riddle or not. Still, 1 like the fairy tale
ending. Let us hope for that by all
means Do you know what it is? And
they all lived happily ever AFTER"
h next morning, as the young man
in the fairy tale was flying on the wings
of steam back to real life, he sat with a
small note book before him, in which he
had entered two words of an original
composition-only two words, but of
such dazzling brilliancy as to be quite
incapacitating for further mental effort.
The words were, "Brooks-Howard."-

A New Yorker who was stopping for a
day or Two at n small town on the shore
of Lake Huron saw many fish caught,
and naturally became enthusiastic to
make a few choice hauls himself. Going
down to the only wharf, he asked about
lines and bait, and n ~12-year-old boy re-
piled:
Il furnish everything and charge
twenty. five cents per hour"
but isn't that hight"
mo, SIR"
81 think it is downright robbery, and
Ill try some other place"
"All right" responded the boy.
There's this wharf, that old wreck and
that slab pile, and they are the only
places to fish from. We've formed a
trust and made the price, and if you
wan to fish you've got to come to it.

In creed he's n sort OF free thinker.
In politics quite democratic;
And though he's n temperate drinker.

Recent experiments in feeding young pigs
60 TO show that pig Of forty pounds
needs no more food per day than two
quarts OF milk aud four ounces OF solid
food, such as bran or oats and cornmeal.
On this allowance, gradually increased,
pigs made a steady and hcalthiul growth,
while two others kept in pen by them
selves, and suffered TO gorge themselves,
became stunted, stopped growing, and in
the third week one was attacked by con-
gestion OF the brain and had TO be starved
out Of it, losing fully two months growth.
When young pigs are weaned they should
be fed in a shallow trough. from which
they can take their food only slowly. A
pint OF milk and two ounces OF boiled corn
meal mixed with the milk will be enough
for daily ration the first week, and a
gradual increase may be made, SUBSTITUTE

above mentioned for six weeks or eight
weeks old pig OF the best kind, and less in
ratio with less weight. Overlooking is
