How He Quieted an Unduly Sensitive and
 Perpery FrenchmaD.
 An incident happened in a little res taurant over in the Latin quarter the other day, which was highly amusing, and it showed how much more reliance an Englishman places in his muscle at crisis than a Frenchman does. We were all sitting at small round table a big young Oxford graduate, a junior from Harvard, a reporter on the Paris edition of the New York Herald, a very solemn German gentleman and myself. Over in a corner small Paris ian, with a waxed mustache, a pointed beard, flowing scarf and high-heeled shoes, sat slipping an absinthe frappee. He was not goOd-natured Frenchman. I think he believed us all Germans, for he scowled at us whenever we raised our voices in way to disturb him in the reading of his paper.
 Presently the solemn German of the party began a conversation with the young Oxford man upon the subject of the late Emperor's illness. The Ger man interspersed his talk with many protestations of devotion to his lost sovereign, and then proposed the health of the present Emperor. At this point the Frenchman at the other table jumped up, battered over to the old German, and, with very fierce i'm precation upon the heads of all Ger mans, struck the old gentleman light blow across the cheek with his open hand. The German rose to retaliate when, without word, and with no ap- parent excitement, the young Oxford man grasped the Frenchman about the waist, tossed him over his shoulder, and the next instant had dropped him out of the open window, down into f1ower-bed in yard at the rear of the brasserie.
 The Frenchman was not injured, and came rushing back after moment, offering to kill every one in short or der. He was immediately seized and pitched out of the window again, in OplU0 OI 1llS AIShO c1nU oOl lON' | hCu the young Englishman bolted the door which would permit him to get back into the room, and talked with him out of the window, which was too high for him to reach.
 There was a great deal of laughter over the incident, and when the En- glishman lowered glass of absinthe out of the window to the maddened Frenchman, asking him to join in the health of the republic, the humor of the situation was complete. When we walked up the street shortly after ward all the girls in the baker-shops and wine-rooms came to their doors to admire the big shoulders of the OK ford and the Harvard boys. l have no doubt that their six feet of broad strength looked like the proportions of giants in the Paris girls eyes, used as they were to the diminutive appear ance of such peppery little fellows as the one who was dropped from the l window ip the brasserie, Paris Letter,

IMPOSING CEREMONY.
Graphic Description of FashiOnabl
 Wedding of Russia.

Wedding of Russia.
 The Russians generally marry quite young in the upper classes, and amongst country people even at an earlier age; and to the honor of this society be it said, love marriages are the rule, and marriages for money are very rare exceptions. Dowry-hunting and marriages of interest have not yet made their appearance in Russian manners. Girls of high social posi- tion readily marry young officers of the Guard, who furnishes the largest contingent of dancers to the balls of Petersburg. During the carnival fetes the two armies, the army in petticoats and the army that wears epaulets. learn to know each other thoroughly. Friendships spring up, the young man pays court, and one day, without hay ing consulted any body, two fiances come to ask of the parents a blessing, which is never refused. The church does not marry dur ing Lent, so they have to wait until Easter week. Fashion demands for the celebration of the ceremony the chapel of some pri- vate house, if the couple have not suf- ficiently lofty relations to secure the chapel of the palace. A family that respects itself ought to have at its we'd ding as honorary father and honorary mother, if not the Emperor and En- press, at least Grand Duke and 8 Grand Duchess. The honorary father gives the holy image, which Somc little child related to the families carries in front of the fiances. They enter the church, followed by all their friends in gala uniform. The ceremony begins; it is very long, and complicated with many symbolic rites; a small table sort of movable altar-is placed in the middle of the oratory; the couple are separated from it by a band of rose-colored satin; when the priest calls, they must ad- vance, and the first who sets foot on the band, whether husband or wife, will be the one who will impose his or her will in the household. This is an article of faith for all the matrons, who watch them at that moment. On the table is placed the liturgical for. mulary, the candles which they must hold, the cross which they will kiss, the Eipgs which they will exchange

 LoNDoN's famous preacher, Rev c. Fl. Sturgeon, says that he is always preparing his sermons, reading and thinking, but the specific preparation begins at six o'clock on Saturday evening. His great difficulty is to find text, he having preached so many sermons in the course of his life. His pub lshed sermons fill thirty-three volumes, and these he keeps on Q shelf near at hand, so that he may look back and sec that he does not repeat himself.

The Colt at Weaning Time and After.

MT. Seymour Brooks, of Wisconsin, in a paper before recent Wisconsin Farmers Institute, gave the following valuable suggestions as to the proper method of handling the trotting bred colt at weaning time and after:
 At weaning time tie the mare in a box-stall, put halter on the colt and tie him by her side. That will be sat- isfactOry to both of them. Let loose the colt three times a day to nurse, for a few days. Do not give the dam much water; it will help to dry her milk. Keep a pail of water before the colt, also bran and oats. In about four days take the mare away and put her to work. Let us aim to keep the colt thriving. It can be done with feed. Different colts will need differ ent amounts. Do not be afraid of feed ing too much; it will not hurt him. American Eclipse was fed six quarts of oats the first year and it did not hurt him.

HERE AND THERE.

A bushel of corn is worth nearly three bushels of oats for fattening hogs or other stock, but oats make a better food, owing the larger propor- tion of nitrogen and mineral matter contained therein.
 It is better to allow fat hens to set than to attempt to prevent them from incubating. If allowed to stay on the nest until they lose flesh they will lay better than if 'brok en up'' from set ting.
 Sweet potatoes should be cultivat- ed well until they begin to run. They will not thrive if the weather is very wet, and the more air and heat admit ted to the roots the better, so as to give them an early start.
 It has been demonstrated that horses can feed on ensilage with ad- vantage, and that where they arc not required to do service, as in winter, an allowance of thirty pounds of ensilage per day will keep horses in good con- dition.
 The farmers in Mercer County, Ky, complain of parasite which saps the life out of the wheat. Some sales have been made of crops at 629 cents per bushel, but many are holding for better price.
 Frequent churning is better than retaining the cream from separate milkings, as mixture of cream of diff ferent ages is usually the cause of poor butter. The best butter is made by churning the cream as it is ready.
 If you are annoyed by the appear ance of warts on the turkeys and chickens you will find a sure remedy in the common mOlasses. One appli- cation will often remove them. If they do not disappear in a week try again.
 A good appetite indicates good health. It is no disadvantage to have an animal that is heavy feeder. Such animals usually produce pro- portiOnately to the quantity consumed. The food is simply the material to be converted into products.
 Experiments by the New York Dairy Commission show that Oleomar- garine will not dissolve and digest in the human stomach in it's natural and ordinary temperature. and it is, there fore, an unprOtitable substance as food.
 Before sending new potatoes to market it will pay to carefully assort them. It is not the large potatoes that always bring the highest prices, but those of uniform size When large and small potatoes are mixed the small ones lessen the value of the larger, and effect the price of the whole.

Total expenses of tobacco crop.

Product on four acres at 800 pounds per acre 3, 200 pounds. Cost z 16-100 cents per pound.
 This cost can only be reduced by cul tivating better land and increasing the yield, employing less labor and thus increasing it's efficiency, restoring the elements to the soil and thus keeping up it's fertility, producing home sup plies and thus saving transportation, cultivating less land and cultivating it better, and, above all, in the practice of a rigid supervision by the owner in all the operations of the farm, and thus save waste, wear and tear. and losses in tools. stock and time
 The yield of tobacco could be greatly increased and the land preserved i; some such methods were adopted. The profits of tobacco planting depend much more upon the amount grown upon an acre than upon the number of acres cultivated. An increase in the yield of double the present quantity would double the profits and improve the soil

Chicken-KiIling Dogs.

To cure a dog of killing chickens take the chicken that has been killed, by the legs, and after beating the dog with it, pass the legs each side of the dogs neck and tie the feet together, so that the chicken hangs securely fastened to the dog. After carrying the chicken around for day or two, the dog will be so thoroughly disgust ed with chickens in general that he will not be apt to trouble them again. Poultry World.
