At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing Matte Vickers, soubrette of whom
the Eastern press speaks in terms of warm
praise, will appear in the comedy, "Jac-
quine, or Paste and Diamonds" The story
is of milliner's apprentice supporting a
drunken father, and eking out her income
by stipend as one of the ballet at the
theater. In the latter place she develops
dramatic talent the opportunity presents
to manifest it, rehearses to fill a gap sud-
denly made, and makes hit. But a man
ager who takes her up comes to grief, the
company is stranded. In distress and pen
niless she is about to return to her appren-
ticeship when her mother, whom she had
believed dead, is discovered. who is so stu

society. Of course such plot gives the
fullest of opportunities for the introduction
of speciality business in which, in dialect
singing, dancing, mimicry, Miss Vickers is
reputed very versatile and strong, the Chi
cago Times pronouncing her pretty, viva
cious and one OF the cleverest soubrettes on
the American stage. Her support includes

1t was at first thought that it would be
necessary to send to New York or Italy for
artists to superintend the important matter
of the frescC work in the cathedral. The
contract, however, was finally given to

done is certainly great credit to this en-
terprising firm.

Cutting on the Combs.

1t has long been q practice among
game breeders to cut off the combs and
wattles of the males. 1t is not believed
to be cruel process. but Of that We are
not so sure. as the removal of any por-
ton of the body is attended with pain to
a certain extent. Leghorn breeders are
considering the advisability Of cutting
off the combs in order to avoid the effects
of the frost in winter, which cuts of the
combs slowly and painfully. The one is
done quickly and the other is slow tort

and wattles of old birds. as they bleed
very profusely. Young birds (males and
females) may be dubbed" when four
months old, or as soon as the comb is
well developed. Use q sharp shears or
razor. A very sharp knife will an

the comb, and battle the parts with cold
alum water. The solution of alum
should be as strong as possible, and the
parts well saturated with 1t. Our advice
is not to cut at all if it can be avoided,

How Vaccine Virus Is Obtained.

The vaccine virus, used to produce
what we call vaccination" is obtained
by shaving the belly of a young mich
COW, or even calf. After the shaving
process has been accomplished to the
satisfaction of the operator, the skin is
scarified and the wound inoculated with
the virus from an animal already in use.
A sore is thus produced without injury
to the beast. After about week or
ten days kind of matter begins to flow
from the abrasion; this is the vaccine
virus used by the surgeons. Goose
quilts, which have been scraped with a
knife SO as to present a rough surface,
are rubbed in the fiuid-not filled with
it as some suppose. From 1000 to TO-
600 quilts, varying with the different
animals, are thus provided with virus
from single abrasion on a cows belly.
If you should closely examine one of
these quilts after it has been 'medi-
Gated" you would be unable to detect
anything wrong with it. The blood
from the scar on the arm mOistens the
virus and causes it to have the desired

FIELD GATE.

post. BY tramping in the soil and frag-
ments of stone the post will retain its
position and soon become quite rigid.
Then on top nail another square board
very slightly slanted, so as to protect
the post from rain and sun. 1t is sup
posed that the hinges and posts have
been adapted to each other.
The gates should be light, perfectly
balanced and of durable wood. Its
structure is important, and herein is the
point of failure, if any.
One brace should extend diagonally
| from the heel of the gate to the upper
free corner of the nose of the frame,
being bolted or nailed with wrought
nails and clinched to each cross-rail. If
so braced the sag or dragging of the
gate will be very slow to manifest it.
self. Sometimes fine gates have pieces
crossing at right angles about the
middle of the gate, but they are quite
unnecessary and are harmful, as they
add weight with but little increase of
strength. BY the tightness of the con-
struction some firmness is at first found,
but soon lost, and in few months the
gate says and the carpenter artist is
blamed. Every brace should rest in the
direction of its length. When second
strip, diagonal from the middle of the
gate down to the lower free corner, is at
tached, it only resists in the direction of
its width. The gate is A B C d. A
brace &c Az should be firmly attached
to the cross strips with double strip at
d, in which one latch may hang.
Under the corner d caster-roller
may be placed with a piece in the
ground for this wheel to travel upon.
With this there is no probability of the
gate sagging as long as the wood does
not give way from decay.

We always drifted into grandma's room
1t was the largest, pleasantest room In the
house, and grandma was so bright and
CHEEKY we loved to be with her. She sat by
that morning, occasionally putting IN her
quiet word, while we went deep into the
subject of straws and bonnets and le2horns,
high crowns, rolling brims, tips, p,umes,
ribbons, etc. 1t was all settled at last, that
Louise, being fair, should get pale blue,
shirred-like bonnet, and Cousin Clara
white Grape one with pink roses; Sister
Ruth's bonnet was to be like herself, quiet
and sweet-a fine straw with bit OF deli
cate lace and heliotropes; while NINE, all
agreed, should be hat with rolling brlm,
faced with black velvet, and glowing with
scarlet peoples. There was no need OF SO
much clatter and consultation, however, Tor
each, after receiving advice, resolved to
provide herself with the identical head-gear
she had in mind for the last month.
After we had somewhat subsidized, grand
ma got up and went to her bureau drawer.

Aunt Maria took her mothers straw bon
net and turned it about on her hand, IN
speeding it critically, thinking meanwhile
that the girls hats were all to be rather OK
pensive this season, and that it was time to
retrench somewhere. What great differ
ence did it make about an old lady's bonnet
any way, so that it was comfortable-she
went out so little.
''Oh, / don't think I need q new one"
grandma said, meekly. 'That would be ex-
travagant; but l thought a new border
might be put in, and may be new pair OF
strings"
II don't see any thing the matter with
the border" said Aunt Maria, in a decided
tone. 1.-THE strings can be sponged and
ironed, and they will look as well as ever"
So saying, she handed it back to grand
ma, and turned to give Louise further COM
missions for the city.

they are safe from freezing, then cover

ton. This is best done by running the

better to put in wisp Of straw in every
thirty feet of trench for ventilation, in
case of a mild winter. After they are
well frozen in, say frost in the covering
to the depth of three or four inches, the
trench may be protected against farther

being taken out as wanted for use. For

An HI Wind.

While bee-keepers at the North are
agitating for legislation against the
spraying of fruit trees with arsenites
during the blossoming season as pro-
lection against fruit-injuring insects,
sportsmen at the South appear to have
an equally valid cause for legislation
against the use of paris green by cotton
planters for the destruction of the cotton
worm. Complaints come from many
quarters that the liberal use of this
arsenite has been playing havoc with
the game birds, which fed upon the
poisoned worms, of which they are very
fond. Partridges and prairie chickens,
which were very numerous in many
regions, have, it is said, been nearly all
destroyed. Whole hocks having been
found dead in many places. There is
danger that unless the worms are saved
from the poison the sportsman's occu-
patton will soon be gone in wide areas.
just as it's an i'll wind that blows no
body good, it's good wind that blows
nobody ill.
