FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

1T appears that the hog is just al
fond of pasture as is any other animal.
When potatoes are to go into
stews or chowders they should be first
sliced, soaked and scalded.
The Lombardy poplar makes a
capital lightning rod. 1t ought to
stand in moist ground, or near water.
Wood moss laid on the earth
around plants is beneficial, by retain
ing the moisture and giving the pot a
heater appearance.
Rather than fill your cellars with
roots and vegetables construct pits for
them. When they are in the cellar
disease lurketh there also.
-Scalding potatoes with boiling
water to keep them from sprouting has
been tried with good results. 1t is said
that it does not injure them for cook
ing.
Many diseases of hogs are due to
inbreeding. The conditions under
which our improved breeds of swine
are kept render a change to "new
blood" every year as Indispensable for
health and vigor.
Pumpkins are good feed for lambs
in the fall, especially when they are
troubled with paper-skin, caused by
worms in the intestines. They will
eat them ~tolerably well if broken up
on a very clean and close sward, but it
is better to provide flat-bottomed
troughs with compartments, each being
large enough to receive the half OF a
pumpkin split in such a fashion as to
lie fat, with the inside uppermost.
-Savory Sandwiches.-Pound some
| of the white meat of a chicken in
| mortar, with a little pepper and salt
and some tongue. The proportions are
one part of tongue to three OF chicken
Cut thin slices of stale bread from 8
loaf, butter, and spread the pounded
meat on the bread and butter, cut the

ne LOVES

Nv
Emperor Franz Josef, of Austria, and His
ways of Life.
A s~tupendous memory. OF which nu-
nervous current anecdotes bear witness,
assists the Emperor to a great extent;
but he achieves more by hard work
and painstaking. His s~crupulously
regulated life, also, provides hi8i with
the necessary time for all his duties,
even on days when he has to speak
with one hundred to n hundred and
fifty persons, as is not seldom the case.
The Emperor rises all the year round
at six in the morning, but very often is
surprised by his personal attendants
when sitting at his writing table as
early as four In the morning; and be-
tween the hour of rising and that of
going to bed-usually at ten o'clock in
the evening-does a day of harder work
than that of the tiller of the soil, re-
lieved only by someotreading, which,
together with the theater and the
shooting in the mountains, constitute
the monarch's only pastime. His
Majesty can laugh as heartily owe a
picture OF an illustrated paper as
whilst hearing a comedy in the Burg
Theater, can enjoy the naive remark
of a Syrian peasant, who forgets the
rank of the sportsman in a costume
resembling his own, OF the self-pos-
sessed reply to some question by a
proud Hungarian peasant who believes
he can speak frankly with his King.
The Emperor is fond OF laughing. and
this pleasure he mostly enjoys in his
family circle-in the society of his
children when they were young. and
Mt present in that of his grand-daagh-
ter, the child OF Rudolph and Ste
phanie. With the young damsel, now
five years old, the Emperor plays like
a child. and the happiness he takes
with him from the interviews witt
Princess Elizabeth is visible on his
face for hours. and sometimes fordays,
afterward. Although Of robust health,
the Emperor feels already tie weight
of the manifold cares he went through
during forty years Of rule; but the
regularity of his life and the exercise
in the open air, which he takes when-
ever the affairs of state allow him
time. keep him hale and strong

KANSAS CITY, March, 6.-Kansas City
has furnished Secretary Blaine with his
probably first official business with a for

occurrence, which led to a telegram being
sent from here by the Humane Society to

as follows: A few days ago Mrs. Daisy
Spellman, a young widow, made complaint
to the Humane Society that George Hen
ney and wife had left the city, taking
with them her eighteen-mOnths-Old daugh-
ter, Lucy. She thought that their destina-
tion was Manchester, England. Five
months ago Mrs. Spellman arranged with
the Henney family to board and to take
care of her baby. The theory that MI. and
child that when Mrs. Spellman notified
them, a few days ago, that she would take
charge of it herself, they took it away with
them secretly, being unwilling to part with
it. The Henney family is highly respected.
This afternoon Secretary Huckett, of the
Humane Society, sent the following tele-
gram to Secretary Blaine:
To the Hon. James G.. Blaine, Secretary of State,
Washington.
George Henney and wife, British subjects, left
Kansas City last Wednesday via Washington fol-
New York. Their destination is Manchester,
England. They took with them Lucy Spellman,
aged eighteen months, child of American par

were terrified by the presence ofthe unwel-

in ejecting it,. The dog was afterwards
killed. Unfeeling persons will be unchar-
liable enough to say that the animal was
simply the lodge goat on a rampage.
