Mary Stuarts Own Account OF ThSs HIS
torical Tragedy.
One of the most curious documents in
the eighth volume of the State papers
and manuscripts relating to English af
fairs in the Venetian archives, which
has just been published, is letter Of
Mary Queen of Scots to the King OF
France, giving an account of the murder
of Rizzio. "The 9th of the month, we
being at supper in private about the
seventh hour in our cabinet, ac-
companied by our sister, the Countess Of
Argyle, our brother, the commander of
Sta Croce, and others of our domestic
servants, because on account of our In
disposition, and as the seventh month o.
our pregnancy was almost accomplished,
we had been advised to eat meat, the
king, our husband, came to visit us, and
seated himself by our side.
Meanwhile the Earl of Morton and
Lord Lindsay, with their followers, to
the number of 1G0 persons, occupied and
took possession of all the entrances and
exits of our palace, so that they be-
lieved it was impossible for any one to
escape them alive. During this interval
of time Lord Ruthven, fully armed,
with others of his followers, dared to
enter by force into our apartments and
cabinet, and, perceiving our secretary,
David Rizzio, there with other servants
of ours, said that he desired to speak
with him Immediately. AT the same
moment we inquired of the King, our
husband, If he knew any thing concern-
ing this proceeding and when he an
swered us in the negative we ordered
Lord Ruthven to quit our presence un-
der penalty Of being deemed traitor,
and said that we would deal with David
Rizzio, and cause him to be punished if
he had been guilty of any offense.
Nevertheless Lord Ruthven, by force,
in our presence, seized David, who for
his safety and defense had retired be-
hind our person, and portion of Ruth
ven's followers surrounding us with ar
quebuses in hand and muzzles leveled,
dragged David with great cruelty forth
from our cabiaet, and at the entrance of
our chamber dealt him fifty-six danger
wounds, at which act we remained not
only wonder-stricken and astounded,
but had great cause for fear of our life.
The provost of Edinburgh,
hearing the tnmult raised in our palace,
caused the bolls to be sounded with
hammers, and came to our palace to DIR
suecor, accompanied by a large band of
armed men, and asked to speak with rs
and to know how we had Jared.
ITO this inquiry we were not per-
niitted to give any reply, because we

spirators, who said to our very face that
II we endeavored to speak they would
throw us over the wall in pieces, in

to retire. All night long we were kept |
prisoners in our chamber, with scarcely |
even the opportunity of speaking with |

Pigs can be grown profitably without
milk, says Waldo f. Brown in the Ohio
Farmer, but it will require more care to
induce them to eat enough of it. One
of the best substitutes for milk is boiled
mashed potatoes; half bushel of these
to barrel of swill will give an excel
lent flavor, and also help it's digestibil-
ity. think that, used for this pur-
pose, the understandable potatoes can
be made profitable. but the arrange
ments for cooking must be such as to
economize time and fuel. With only
ten or fifteen pigs, apot of potatoes can
be boiled on the cooking stove each day,
but II one has large )ot he should have
a stone furnace with sheet-iron pan,
and plenty of light, dry fuel, so that by
starting the fire when he first gets up,
the potatoes will be cooked ready to
ma ih by the time breakfast is over. A
short iron pan heats very quickly and
economies heat. / think q pan and
furnace sufficient to cook two or three
bushels at time can be made for about
five dollars. Lay the stone with clay
instead of lime mortar. 1t will last
much longer, as the fire will harden the
clay.
The older hogs will do very we'll with
corn and grass, but will, think, gain
faster and make cheaper pork IL fed
with some bran and oil meal slop also,
and bran at seventeen dollars per ton is
cheaper feed than corn at fifty cents

THE PEACH BORER.
How nm Ohio Farmer Finally Stopped ]
Rayayeg,

How nm Ohio Farmer Finally stopped Its
Ravages.
For the last two years / have been
successful in heading off this pest, so
discouraging to the peach growers.
The grub never works in the body of
the tree for the reason, / suppose, that
the bark is tough and covered with a
hard scale which it can not penetrate.
1t always works at, or just beneath, the
surface of the ground. The bark of
the tree here is smooth, tender and
succulent, and the tiny creature, on
emerging from the egg, which had
been laid at this place by the parent
moth, is able to penetrate.t o the inner
portion of the bark, where it lives and
grows to maturity, eating its way along
for several inches during the period of
its existence. If the grub happens, as
Is the case often, to work its way
around the tree, very serious injury is
done. In fact, / have known single
borer to completely ruin young peach
trees two or three years of age. and
when two or more are at work on the
same tree its doom is usually sealed.
/ have an orchard of 800 peach trees
on something over two acres of ground.
These trees were put out in the spring
of 1882 and the two following years. As
fast as these trees have died they have
been replaced by others. 1 presume
that at the present time not much over
half of the original trees remain. Some
of them have winter-killed; others have
died without any apparent cause. find
peach tree, like sheep, will often
times give up the ghost on very slight
provocations. But 1 think that 1 have
lost more trees by the depredations of
the borer than from all other causes put
together. / have tried putting ashes
and other substances around the trees,
and also digging them out, but always
with very unsatisfactory results.
For the last two years, while cultivat-
ing the ground in the spring, have
made small mound or cone of earth
around the base of each tree, some five
or six inches in height, taking care to
have it press closely about the tree so
as to cover all the bark up to where it
has been hardened by exposure to the
weather. Since doing this the trees
have been very thrifty and / have not
found any that have been affected by
the borer. This remedy Is simple,
easily applied, and my experience leads
me to believe it an effectual one.-J. c.

A skein of Germantown wool, either

the materials required.
With bone crochet needle make a

widen only at the middle until 90 or %
rows are completed. Now work back

each side of the middle stitch. These 10

that the stitch may resemble the rest OF

OF some favorite classic! know no
reader more to be envied than that
friend of mine who for many years has
given his days and nights to the loving
study of Horace. After a certain period
in life, it is always with an effort that
we admit new author into the inner
circle of our intimates. The Partisan

century ago-thcy may still keep to the
same habit for ought that know--used to
put up the sign Compile" as soon as they
we're full. Our public conveyances are
never full until the natural atmospheric
pressure Of sixteen pounds to the square
inch is doubled, in the close packing of
the human sardines that fill the all
accommodating vehicles. A newcomer,
however we'll hammered and well dress
cd, is not very welcome under these cir
cumstances. In the same way, our ia
bles are full of books half read and
books we feel that we must read. And
here come in two thick volumes, with
uncut leaves, in small type, with many
pages, and many lines to page--a book
that must be read and ought to be read
at once. What relief to hand it over
to the lovely keeper of your literary
conscience, who will tell you all that
you most care to know about it, and
leave you free to plunge into your be-
loved volume, in which you are ever find
ing new beauties, and from which you
rise refreshed, as If you had just come
from the cool waters of Helicon! The
stream of modern literature represented
by the books and periodicals on the
crowded counters is q turbulent and
clamorous torrent, dashing along among
the rocks of criticism, over the pebbles
of the worlds daily events; trying to
make itself seen and heard over the
hoarse cries of the politicians and the
rumbling wheels of traffic. The classic
is still a lakelet, mountain tarn, fed by
springs that never fall its surface never
ruffled by storms-always the same-al-
ways smiling ,. welcome to its visitor.
Such is Horace to my friend. To his eye
"Lydia, die per omues" is as familiar as
"Pdter noster qui es in calls" to that of a
pious Catholic. "Integer citG," which
he has put into manly English, his Hor-
ace opens to as Watts hymn-book opens
to "From all that dwell below the
skies" The more he reads the more he
studies his author, the richer are the
treasures he finds. And what Horace is
to him, Homer, or Virgil, or Dante is to
many quiet reader, sick to death of
the unending train of book-malIers. -
