''The Leather Patch at the Academy.
There are more than half a hundred
people in this vicinity this morning who
have such pains in their sides that they
can scarcely move. They were in the
audience which so crowded the Academy
of Music last evening and laughed
and laughed until they could
laugh no longer, at sThe Leather
Patch, as produced by Edward Harrigan
and his inimitable corps of artists. In
stead of "The Leather Patch" having be-
come monontonous and wearisome with
age it has improved like the proverbial
wine, and seemed last night to be funnier
than ever. So well was each part sustain
ed that it seemed hard to realize that it

that were moving about the stage, in

of Mr.. Gus Thomas four act comedy

pathos, which is relieved here and there

Appreciation.

In view of the universal dissemination OF
newspapers the mass of the public remain
in startling condition of ignorance with
respect to the manner in which they are
prepared. remember once, number of
years ago, sitting in railway car just be-
hind two farmers, who, to pass the time
on their journey, bought New York
Tribune of the trainboy. One of them
slowly put on his spectacles and prepared
to read the news aloud to his companion.
II happened that the paper had been fold
ed wrong side out, so that the advertise
ments were upperrnost. and the venerable
man was soon RECALLING his companion
with long dissertation on the merits OF
DR.. Jabberway's Celebrated All Sufficient
Specific, with cured everything from
chronic rheumatism TO water blisters.
He toiled patiently on, pronouncing the
Latin names after a system exclusively his
own, and devouring with unconcealed
wonder all the elaborate descriptions OF
the eternal economy Of humankind, while
his listening partner sat with bent head
and mouth agape. nodding approval from
time to time. When the last line of the
advertisement was finished the reader laid
down the sheet, and the eyes of the two
friends met Both were for a few seconds
too deeply impressed to speak. Then the
one who had been silent all the while found
voice enough TO gasp; "Wa'al, Ivowi That

How Girls should Walk.

The walk OF the old time girl compared
TO the drum major like carriage of the
young woman Of today is an apt illustra-
ton Of the great change in the characters
tics OF women of the fashion during the
past two or three decades. II is unques-
tionably healthy for young women to wear
shoulder braces, stand erect and swing
their arms when they walk, but they should
beware of going too far. The well built
and robust girl who holds her shoulders
back is a sight to please the eyes Of gods
and man, but the thin, scrawny and enact
ated girl who twists her meager body out
Of shape and holds her shoulders in such a
fashion that she looks as though suffering
from violent pains had much better as
sumo the languid pose and attitude of the
century gone by. She might not appear SO
''smart," but she would be vastly more
pleasing to the eye.-New York Letter.

the Legion of Honor, lives in a beautiful
house, which is almost a castle in appear

"Glenmont," as it is called, is delight
fully situated in the midst of the aristo-
cratic suburb Llewellyn Park, \. j. This
place Mr. Edison bought after his second
marriage, about four years ago.
The family consists of Mrs. Edison, two
bows aud a little girl, the latter the child Of
his second marriage. Mr. Edison's eldest
daughter, a young girl about Is years OF
age, is studying music in Germany under
the care of relative.
Mrs Edison is beautiful woman, with
charming manners, as becomes a countess.
Her beauty and fine manners won high
praise while in London and Paris, which
she visited with her husband. Mrs. Edi-
son is "A years old. a trifie above the aver
age height, with very graceful figure.
She has brown hair, which she usually
wears high at the back, with fluffy bang
over her forehead. Her eyes are hazel,
and her complexion of that clear olive
which artists love. Mr.. Edison's pet name
for her is "Mena" Mrs. Edison always
dresses in perfect taste, and on ordinary
occasions very quietly. Many Frenchy tea
gowns and handsome dinner dresses were
added to her wardrobe when she was in
Paris.
She takes a long drive every morning
accompanied by her little daughter and her
nurse. Her carriage costume at this sea
son is very apt to be army blue cashmere
with passementerie trimmings and a straw
hat with becoming cluster of pink roses
for ornament.
Mrs. Edison has a young woman's fond
ness for society and entertains good deal,
luncheon and dinner parties being her IA
vorite ways of dispensing hospitality to
her friends. Her sister, Mrs Mary Miller,
whose home is in Akron, o., spends much
time with Mrs. Edison.

Curing Glover Hay.
New York Independent.

Musty clover makes bad hay, and one
reason for the mustiness is that the clover
was not properly cured. No one should
cut clover and expect to haul it into the
Darn the same day, for if he does he will
have musty hay beyond doubt. Clover
contains great deal of sap, and the thick
stems of this plant part with it very slowly
Every farmer will tell you that many
times when clover looks dry enough to
haul to the barn, if you twist the stems in
to rope, you can wiring out water from
them.
Glover as rule should be moved in the
afternoon and be left in the swath over
night The dew will not hurt it, only pos
sibly blacken it little. As soon as the
dew is off in the morning shake out the
heavier portions, and when the surface is
dry rake into small windows, shake these
out a little if necessary, and soon after
dinner the hay will be ready to go in.
Cutting the clover and allowing it to lie on
the ground over night gives the sap in the
stems an opportunity to go in the leaves,
and the process of evaporation soon rids
the hay of this moisture. Glover should
be cut about the time the blossoms fade.
as at that time it contains the most nutri-
ment. 1t should be well cured, and the
danger is in curing it too little, while in
curing timothy the danger lies in curing il
too much. Right at this point there is
an unconscious loss in the feeding value OF
the hay crop which our farmers will dc
well to remedy.

What a Row Does

He comes out at the front door, bright
faced and happy. He comes out for no
particular reason. says the Washington
Capital, but that he wants to be moving
about. He is full of physical action,
and he must get some of it out of him be-
fore bedtime or he won't be fit to sleep.
He doesn't know this with his head,
tut his body knows it; for, after all, the
body does a good deal of its own thinking,
independently of what we call concious-
ness. He stands on the step and looks up
and down the street. He doesn't know
what he is looking for. Indeed, he is not
looking for any thing. He just looks with
a sort of underlined hope that he will see
something suggestive to him of what to
do. He jumps down the steps and goes to
the gate, hangs on it moment, makes a
few sounds with his voice such as nobody
but boy can make, and nobody else would
make it if they could. Theh don't mean
anything. He makes them because-well,
because he is boy. AS if he had sudden
ly thought of something to do, he bangs
the gate open and rushes down the middle
of the street, yelling like young Indian.
But he has not suddenly thought of some
thing to do. He has simply done that be-
cause he couldn't think of any thing to do,
and must do something. Then he picks up
stone and fires it at dog, and cringes
and feels sorry if it hits the mark, he
doesn't want to hurt the dog. He throws
the stone because he and the dog and. the
stone are there, and it is handy to do so.
For few seconds he stands and looks up
into tree at-nothing. Then he breaks
into run again, and suddenly sits
down on the curbstone as if he had accom-
plished something and was content
