The Home of Mrs. southworth.

There is always a charm hanging over
the place where books have been written.
Pilgrims never tire of going to Concord to
visit the homes of Hawthorne or Emerson,
or far enough out of London to gaze on
the outside of Gads Hill, which Charles
Dickens consecrated with his genius, even
if they never get any farther than the out
side So the tourists of Washington 60
over to Georgetown to see prospect Cot
tage," where Mrs. E. D. E. n. Southworth
wrote the Hidden Hand and some Of the
other sixty odd volumes which may have
served to while away an idle hour. "Pros-
pect Cottage" stands on a hillside. The
house is built on the slope, so that the
lower side is two full stories high, while
the street front is only one and half. A
wide porch runs around three sides of it
The ceilings are low, and everything about
the place is simple and unpresuming. The
chief charm of the cottage is the view II
commands of the Potomac river, the free
bridge and the green slopes of Virginia
shores Just beyond. Rocks stand up out
of the shallow Upper Potomac which the
unromantic boatmen name "Old Hen and
Chickens" but Mrs Southworth has made
famous as ''The Three Sisters" They
have figured extensively in several of her
romances.
Mrs. Southworth's first earnings were
devoted to making this cottage into a
home, and to this day it is her home
wherever she may be. The cottage, which
has now ten or twelve rooms, originally
had but five. 1t needs paint and repairs
externally, but within it remains as she
left it in charge of her half-sister, Mrs.
Baden, who keeps it so that should its
mistress appear at any unexpected moment
the dear old place would still be home.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

Waxed paper bags are new idea for
holding coffee, fruit, CONNECTIONS, etc. They
are also useful for packing furs and wool
ems away from moths, the paraffine coat
ing rendering them both air and water
tight.
If the coal cinders, when taken from the
stove, are put in an old tin and cold water
poured over them, in an hour you will
have nice clean cinders that will burn
clear and good without the disagreeable
trouble of sitting them.
Little red ants, it is said, can not travel
over wool or rag carpet. One who has
tried it covered her floor with a coarse
baize, set her sofa on that, and las not
been troubled since. She adds: "Cover a
shelf in your closet or pantry with flannel,
set whatever you wish to keep from ants
on it, and they will at once disappear"
Silyerware, to be kept bright, should
never be washed in soapsuds; clear water
is best. To prevent articles from tarnish-
ing, warm them and apply with soft
brush thin solution of collodium in alco-
hol. The ware can be frightened by rub
bling with flannel or channels skin dipped
in whiting or chalk, then with a newspa-

DIR. F. d. Reese, of CORTLAND, n. Y,
writes to the Medical Record describing the
use of carbolized oil applied to the car
buncle, and then covered with oakum,
which had previously been saturated with
the oil. Of few cases of carbuncle treated
in this way, not one has run over two
weeks. The disease has yielded to the
carbolized oil and oakum treatment as by
magic. He uses twenty per cent. solution.
Miss Gordon Cumming has drawn at
tention to the cleansing effect of petroleum
on soiled clothes. The best way to en-
ploy it is to fill an average boiler, say of
fourteen gallons, with water, adding half a
pound of soft soap, and when all is boiling
thoroughly, pour in one and half table
spoonfuls of petroleum. Then put in the
clothes and boil them for half an hour be-
fore lifting them out and rising them in
several waters. A little more soap, water
and petroleum should be added to make up
for loss, as successive lots of the clothes are

Female Physicians.

"One of the most absurd arguments used
against girl who wishes to become a
physician" said blue-eyed, fair-haired
medical student in petticoats the other day
SIS that the disagreeable sights and expe-
riences of the dissecting-room, if they dc
not altogether overpower her fortitude,

were thrown open and the two friends
] alas they were upon the ragged edge of
enmity now-entered the sacred building.
Hal drew letter from his pocket.
eff you are so anxious to know what
brings me here tonight" he began, read
that"
And Gerald read:
DEAR Mr.. LYNDON: You asked me very i'm
your answer come to the old church on the
beach at sunset exactly: will be there and
you shall be satisfactorily answered. VERA.
No wonder that Gerald started in sur
prise as he read, for the note, save for the
difference Of names, was fac smile of
the one that he himself had received.
But before he could utter word there
was little hustle within the church, and
then glancing up he saw Vera Langdon
and her aunt enter the building.
A moment more-and like the phantas-
magora of dream it all passed before the
astonished spectators-Vera was standing
at the altar beside handsome stranger-a
tall, kingly looking man-and the marriage
ceremony was performed by the white
robed clergyman.
After that Gerald and Hal knew no
more. They reached the open alr some
how, and little later the bridal party
came forth,
"Let me present my husband, Ralph
Madison" Vera said little later as they
met on the way to the waiting car
riage: "Oh, yes; we have been engaged
for a long time-quite year. And

ENGLISH RACING ESTABLISHMENTS.
Lord George Bentinck, 1.-The Napoleon of
the Turf"

the
Fifty years ago Lord George Bentinck-
"the Napoleon of the turf" as he has ad-
miringly been styled-was at the hight of
his power, and at his instigation sweeping
reforms were made He punished delin-
quents for trivial offenses with most unre-
lenting severity. He also framed rules, or
was the cause of their being made, for
the guidance of officials and when broken
he fined the offenders without compunc-
ton. He was the first who habitually gave
high prices for yearlings and brood Mares
Before his time brood mares were usually
bought for about goo or $3.50, whereas
through his influence the price was quickly
raised to e700 or eS00 apiece. He had
the largest breeding establishment in Eng
land, at Doncaster and Danebury, contain
ing about seventy brood mares, many of
which were the most costly and best bred
animals in existence, besides several STALL
ions Camerine he purchased for 1000
guineas, and yearling, atterward called
Glenlivet, for 1000 guineas, at Sir Mark
Woods sale, Hare Park, Newmarket de
purchased of Lord Jersey Bay Middleton
for stallion, for which he gave 1000, a
price never given before for any three
year-old that had broken down and was
not fit for racing.
Before his time good-looking and we'll
bred yearlings could have been bought for
e25o or $500 each. A case in point was
D'Egville, one of the finest horses and best
bred yearlings in England, that was bought
as two-year-old for Lord George for $500,
since which time the price has been stead
ily rising in every decade. Moreover,
Lord George transformed Goodwood from
plating meeting to one of the most aristo-
cratic and fashionable of the year, and he
ran more horses during the four days than
perhaps we're ever run by any one
person before or since. At his own ex-
pense he leveled and widened the course
and improved the training ground, and all
this after he left Danebury, at which place

Keen Good Butter.

If were asked: "What article is most
important in a grocers' stock ?" | would
say: Butter" There is no doubt about
it. You may have coffee at times that
does not give you satisfaction, or tea that
people will find fault with, or flour that no
one can make decent loaf of bread of, yet
these do not make as much trouble for the
grocer as butter that is not up in quality,
Poor butter will spoil the best meal you
can sit down to. Therefore it is of the
highest importance that every grocer
should be Judge of butter. 1t will not
do, as rule, to let other people do the
selecting OF it for your trade.
There is great care needed in keeping
butter so that it can not become lmpreg-
mated with bad odors. | never keep any
vegetables or cheese in my ice box where
my butter is, and at night before | close
the box / put the cover tightly on each
tub, after have carefully placed the rag
with salt on top of the butter. 1t needs
care. but find it pays.
Since the oieomargarine law has been
forced my sales of butter have greatly in
creased. | am no longer compelled to
compete with some rascally grocer or tea
dealer who has the nerve 10 swindle peo-
pie to the detriment of honest dealers.
Oleomargarine made more dishonest deal
ers than any one thing ever introduced in
the grocery trade. The temptation was
almost irresistible to many 1t was safer
to deal in and paid better than counterfeit
money, and the chances of detection were
not so great.
The grocer who gets reputation for
handling fine butter will be successful. He
is apt to be particular in handling other
staple articles. He viii not neglect his
tea or coffee trade, but will give it the
same personal attention. ANY grocer who
can excel in his selections of butter, tea
or coffee and -four need not have much
fear of failure.-Retad Grocers Advertiser.

he had expended small fortune not long
before, and where, as he said, he was
literally walking on gold" His betting,
and in fact everything that he did in con-
nection with the turf, was done in the
same costly and extensive way. These few
facts will be sufficient to show that Lord
George Bentinck inaugurateda new era on
the turf That he did good
in SO extensively patronizing the
sport and in spending so much
on its surroundings no one will doubt.
When Lord George gave up racing and be-
took himself to politics, Mr.. Mostyn pur-
chased his stud, in which undertaking
Lord Clifden afterward joined him. and
tle'e two raced with success.
These were the days of heavy betting,
Harry Hill and others making ten-thou-
sand-pound yearling book on the Derby,
so that one could in those days have won
a very large stake on this race alone.
About the year 1852 stud companies began
to be formed for breeding racehorses on a
large scale, and individuals were actively
employed in doing the same thing. Raw
cliffe at York and Middle Park at Ethan
were among the most prominent. But before
these institutions were formed there were
in existence many other establishments for
the purpose, the Queens at Hampton
Court, Mr.. Jacques, Easily Abbey, Theo-
bold Park, Willesden and many others. But
at that time few were a success, or thought
to be so. The Middle Park Stud to the
owner was veritable gold mine, and GER
tainly it was great success, financially
speaking, if in no other way; but the Raw
cliffe was a disastrous undertaking for the
shareholders, and it ultimately came to
grief just as Gotham and other stud COM
panies did afterward. There were too
many paid officials engaged in it from
this cause and the want of proper super
vision the speculation was loss to the
company, and after some years the estab-
lishment was broken up.-JOhn Day, in the
FortniqhtIy Review.
