The Gaelic Singer.
From Good Words

Gaelic songs, of which the people are
SO fond, and which they sing so admir-
ably, are no less remarkable for their
freedom from the slightest faint of i'm
purity or ~indelicacy than for their
native vigor and simplicity, whatever
the theme. When we assert that thew
are always well sung, the reader will
probably wonder how this should be
possible when we have at the same
time to make the admission that even
the most delightful singers are, as a
rule, utterly destitute of any scientific
knowledge of music. OF musical
rules and musical terms they
know nothing. Song is with
them as with the wild birds of
their native woods and wilds, an in
stinct, an inspiration; and it is simply
the TACT, strange as it may seem, that
the native singer who knows not a note
Of music from the scientific standpoint
will render a Gaelic air more musicallv
and better in every way than the most
accomplished musician you can pur-
suade to attempt it. The philosophy
and motif of a Gaelic song, grave or
gay, are so closely intertwisted, so init

Rare Presence OF Mind.

From the New York Evening Sun.
While Hamilton Fish was secretary of
state, Mrs. Fish made it her invariable
practice to return all calls made upon
her. Of course, many in the throng
were questionable, but that made no
difference.
One day a certain worthy but impecu-
NOUS lady of East Washington thought
she would see what an official reception
was like, and she followed the crowd
through Mrs. Fish's parlors and dropped
her card at the door.
In due time Mrs. Fish's carriage
stopped before a small frame house in
East Washington, and the lady at the
moment was occupied in the honest but
not aristocratic occupation OF scrubbing
the front steps.
Mrs. Fish stepped out of her carriage
and, presenting her card, asked to see
the lady of the house.
"She is not in" said the lady calmly,
and resumed her scrubbing, while Mrs.
Fish returned to her carriage.

Hygiene and Mysteries.
From the Sanitary News.

There is some discussion of the ques-
ton: "Does the great attention paid to
health in these days produce an anxiety
about bodily ailments which is a disease
in ltself?" The question at first glance
may seem an absurd one. yet looking
upon n side of the proposition some
cases can be presented which, standing
alone, might indicate that too great a
regard for health had a tendency to en-
courage or %aggravate hypochondriasis.
We have always had the hysterical and
always will, but it should not be assum-
&c that q reasonable attention to health
should stimulate the growth of morbid
fancies. With our state departments of
health and local boards these matters
are placed under intelligent direc-
ton, and extravaganza lotions and
Incorporate care are not so
extensively INDUCED as formerly.
There is a general diffusion of
hyglenic knowledge proceeding from
professional sources which tends rather
to decrease the number of neurotic and
hysterical than to multiply them. There
are no statistics bearing directly on the
subject, but those furnished by the health
departments show that the promo
ton of physical well-being is the result
of the increased attention to health now
prevailing. 1t will be further observed
that the knowledge emanating from our
boards of health is sanitary, and must
not be %confounded with the popular
sanitary literature often disseminated
to the injury of physical welfare, from
which results the prevalence of self
drugging and fancied ills that seemingly
affiict humanity. Besides all this, high
medical authorities concur in the opin-
ion that there is a general improvement
in the public health.

thinned, then add both together: this

thinned, then add both together; this
will prevent the eggs from III dling.
1t is often a question what to do with
either the whites or yolks of eggs which
are sometimes left after making cake,
frostlng, etc. Either will keep well for
a day or two If set in a very cool place,
the yolks well beaten and the whites
unbeaten.
Whites or yolks of eggs may be used
with whole eggs in any cake or other
recipe calling for eggs, counting two
yolks or two whites as one egg. Sort
out the little eggs and keep them for
settling coffee, using the larger ones for
cake.
When eggs are cheap and plentiful in
summer, wash all those used in cooking
before breaking. Save the shells, and
when a quantity are dry, crush them
stir them into the shells. Spread them
where they will dry quickly, and when
thoroughly dry put in a thin cotton bag
and hang in a very dry place. In the
winter, when eggs are scarce and dear,
a tablespoonful of this mixture put in q
cup, a little cold water poured over it,
and left to stand over night or for a half
an hour or so in the morning before
breakfast, will answer every purpose of
a whole egg in settling coffee.
Egg stains can be easily removed from
silver by rubbing with a wet rag dipped
in table salt. To clean vinegar bottles
and cruets, crushed egg-shells in a little
water are as good as shot, besides being
healthier aad handler. TO mend bro
ken china, use q cement made by stir
ring plaster-of-Paris into the white of
an egg.
An egg, well beaten and added to a
tumblelfnl of milk well sweetened, with
two tablespooniuls of best brandy or
whisky stirred in. is excellent Tor fee
bic aged persons who can take little
nourishment.
Eggs ale valuable remedies for burns,
and may be used in the following ways:
The white of an egg simply used as a
varnish to exclude the air, or the white
beaten up for a long time with a table
spoonful of fresh lard till a little water
separates; or, an excellent remedy is a
mixture of the yolk of egg with glycer-
inc, equal parts; put in a Iottle and
cork tightly; shake before using; will
keep for some time in a cool place.
For inaamed eyes or eyelids, use the
white of an egg beaten up to a froth with
two tablespoonful of rose-water. APP

alum into the beaten whites of two eggs
till a coagulum is formed. Place be-
tween a lold of a soft linen rag and

For a boil, take the skin of a boiled
egg, moisten it and apply. 1t will draw
Old the matter and relieve the soreness
in a few hours.
To cleanse the hair and promote it's
growth, rub the yolk of an egg we'll into
the sc Zip, and rinse out thoroughly with
soft, warm water.
The eggs of the turkey are nearly as
good as those of the hen, and that of
the goose is about as preferable for most
culinary purposes. Ducks eggs have a
richer flavor, but are not as desirable to
eat alone; they are, however, as good
for all purposes of cookery, and for
puddings and custards are superior to
any. The eggs of the guinea hen are
also good for all culinary purposes

A Pen Portrait of BouIanger.
From the Boston Herald.

" ~ DOOtOh lOld1
When [ entered he was sitting at a
long table covered with books and pa
pers, but he Immediately arose, came
forward with a pleasant "bon jour" and
a hearty grasp of the hand, and led me
to a seat. 1t was the first time I had
seen him, and l observed with some
surprise that he was notin the least like
the published portraits that are to be
seen in every part of Paris. He has
nothing of the dapper look of the photo
graphs and engravings. His hair is not
dark and nicely combed, as you see it
in the pictures in little" but it is iron
gray, and it stands cropped" and erect.
His beard, too, is tawny and slightly
mixed with gray. In physique he is of
middle height, we'll filled, and neither
stout nor slender. He has a stronger
face and a more intellectual head than
the popular portraits credit him with
and the lines in bis face are distinctly
marked-there is quite a deep line run
ming across bis forehead. His eyes are
keen and gray. His coat was semi-mil-
itary in cut, but not in color, for, like
lis trousers, it was a kind of yellow
brown.

A Horse That Feeds Another.
From the Boston Transcript.

Billy, a remarkable intelligent horse
used in the police wagon of Division 8,
has taken up an idea which he follows
daily. One of the mounted officers in
the division leaves his horse in the sta
BILE connected with the station on Blue
Hill Avenue, near Dudley Street,
while he answers to the roll call at noon
and again at + o'clock. The officer fast
ems his horse to the post forming one
corner at the head of Billv's stall, and
as soon as the animal is tied, Billy picks
up a mouthiul of hay, forces it through
the iron grating about his stall, and
waits until his guest has eaten it. Then
he repeats the operation and continues
his hospitality until the officer returns
for his horse. Billy began to do this
early in the fall without any suggestion
from the men. and he does it twice a
day, much to the satisfaction of his Wis.,
itor. The performance has attracted
considerable attention in the neighbor-
hood, and Billy's politeness has won
him many friends.

Why They Prefer the Right.
From the Albany Argus.

Why do theater goers prefer seats on
the right of the house? When you are
in the street on which side Of the walk
do you keep? On the right, don't you?
OF course you do. And you look to the
left, eh? If you don't you are different
from everyone else. Well, you walk
to the right and look to the left. Twen-
thing naturally gets one accustomed to
it. Now, when you sit for two hours
and a half or three hours in one posi-
ton, with your eyes to the right, you
will find that it tires the muscles of the
eyes quite perceptibly.

Initiating the Negro and the Indian.
From the New York Sun.

FTOm tn6 new 1Ork sun.
1t is interesting to consider that the
stolidity of countenance assumed bv so
many New Workers is a trait noticeable
among people who are the very oppo-
sites of your standard Gothamites. A
ChOctaw Indian or an Arkansas negro
has a c~ountenance invariably immobile.
His face is never the mirror of his
mind nor the window through which
his soul may be seen. Yet there is Ibis
differences: The Indian and the negro
are stolid because it is their nature to
be SO; the New Workman is stolid be-
cause he trains himself to be so and has
learned to suppress, restrain, and even
to control his feelings. so that excent

Manures are Not StimuIants,

Plants have no nerves. The notion
that they can be stimulated as men and
animals can Ices not apply. They can
through roots imbedded in the soil. So
what is meant by a stimulating manure
is one where plant food is made soluble
and easily taken up by the roots of
plants. But there is something that
looks like stimulation in the application
of quick-acting manure In contact with
the seed. This gives the young plant
receiving such a benefit a start that
enables it to push its roots far beyond
what it would otherwise do. If the fer
tilizer attachment to one tube of a drill
becomes clogged, as it sometimes will,
the grain sown in this row not only
looks poorer but is poorer than the soil
should naturally Of itself produce. The
stronger grain has invaded the domain
of the weaker and robbed it OF the little
it had, besides occupying the ground to
the exclusion of the space its roots
should have filed.

To Succeed with Asparagus.

The first and most important point is
to select land that is naturally or artl-
ficially underdrained. Rich, moist
alluvial land, containing considerable
sand, is best. if the land is well drained.
A dry, sandy knoll, if rich enough, will
produce a fair crop, but not as good a
one as moister land. Provided the
drainage is good, asparagus delights in
abundance of water. With good drain
age and plenty OF water and plant food,
the character of the soil, as to whether
it is a sandy, u clayey, or mucky, is not
essential to success. A soil that con-
tains a little clay and a good deal of
sand, with some muck, is best, but
planting and heavy manuring. You
cannot make the land too rich.
"When should the plants be set out ?"
Either in the autumn or spring. But
whether you plant in spring or fall, be-
lore planting the land must be worked
till it is fine and mellow. Chow shall
we plant?" First, get some good, fresh
two-year-old roots. Then, if you are
going to plant a small bed in the gar
den, stretch a line not less than four
feet from any other plant, and with a
hoe make holes along the line, eighteen
inches or three feet apart, four inches
deep, and large enough TO hold the
plants when the roots are spread out
horizontally. Do not make deep holes
straight down in the ground and stick
the roots in as you would a cabbage. but
spread the roots. After the roots
are set out cover them with fine soil,
and hat is all there is to it. Then move
the line three feet from the first row
and repeat the planting till the bed is
finished. In the field make the rows
with a common corn-marker, three feet
apart each way, and set out a plant
where the rows cross. 1t is little more
work to plant an acre of asparagus than
an acre of potatoes.-Americon Agricul-
turlSt.

Flowing Wet Ground.

Nothing is gained beginning blowing
too early in the spring. Important as
early seeding may be, aud hurrying as
farm work may prove after it fairy be-
gins, it is better to wait until the ground
will urn up pliable rather than sticky.
Undertaking is a great advantage to
ly. The soil is made porous bv the
sinking away oil superfuous moisture.
SO that where the drainage is thorough
the pillow may be started almost as soon
as frost is out of the ground. Once
plowed with the soil not sticky it is to
the depth OF the furrow much more
thoroughly exposed to air than before.
But if the soil is wet stirring only pud-
dies it and makes it harden into clods
during the summer. Clayey land is
often injured for years by being once
plowed when too wet. Fall blowing
with the surface left rough is the best
corrective to such land after it has been
drained. Without drainage the wet
mass runs together and the sun hardens
it as bad or worse than before. IF the
land is in sod it will bear blowing when
somewhat wetter than if it were naked.
The sod under the furrow will not press
down closely, and this leaves chances
for The warmer air from above to enter
and dry it. Early plowed sod ground
brings much better corn or potatoes
than that plowed just before planting,
provided the land was O too wet at
the earlier blowing. The mistake of
too early blowing is more apt to be
made in hurrying to get spring grain
sown. Better waits few days later, put
on more teams, or merely cultivate the
surface and then SOW or drill in the
seed.
