IN THE SULTAN'S HAREM.
The Mysterious Woman Who Visited the
Padishah's Palace.
Augusta Victoria Tells How the Turkish La
dies Thought She Had Been Sent as Pres
emit to the sultan-Her Experiences With
the Sultanas

Little else was talked of in court
circles in Berlin than the adventure
Of the Empress Augusta Victoria for
some weeks after her recent visit to
the harem of the Sultan at CONSTANT
nople. The visit was at first believed
to have been one of ceremony purely
and unattended by any unusual incl
dents; but the empress has told con-
corning it most attractive and
amusing story. Indeed, the episode
seems to have been in her eyes the
most interesting part of the entire trip
to the east.
THE sultan,n said one Of the men,
bers of the imperial party, "showed
himself a pleasant and agreeable host.
For the empress sake he extended
courtesies such as had never before
been received by any visitor to Con-
stantinople. He personally waited up
on US when we arrived at the palace
of Dolma-Bagtsche, and with MS own
hand assisted the empress to her car
riage, after which he stepped in and
chatted with her all the way during the
drive to the Yildiz Kiosk.
The empress tells with delight of
her visit to the harem and her explora-
ton of the beautiful gardens in the
sultan's grounds, which are justly
claimed to be the loveliest in all Eu-
rope. The party arrived at the harem
in carriages. There they were saluted
by guard of soldiers, all smart and
neat looking in shining new uniforms
although, poor fellows! it is quite
probable that, like many others in the
service of the sultan, their salaries
were unpaid. All the servants of the
harem were decked out in white gar
ments beautifully embroidered. Be-
ing but little accustomed to such ele-
gauce (clean linen is a luxury to them)
they hardly dared move lest they
should spoil their fnery. The visiting
party consisted of the empress, two of
her ladies of honor and the sultan. AS
they entered the gates they found the
sques-beautiful young girls from
Circassia, Armenia and the Caucasus,
with fair sprinkling of Greeks, drawn
up in row on both sides of the
arched passage-way and all attired in
most elaborate toilets.

Do YOU ask, "Where can do this and
have INV money absolutely safe" Let
us give you some facts. The Lamolle
County Savings Bank and Trust 20. OF
HYDE Park is an institution run on tho
following principles -
1st. Not dollar is loaned without
the personal knowledge of some one OF
the Board of Directors that the loan Is
safe beyond question.
I'd. 1t is run as a home institution.
Every dollar is loaned in Lamoille and
adjacent counties, and every worthy en-
terprise in the vicinity of the towns
whence the deposits of the Bank come,
is fostered and Encouraged in preference
to ether investments, so far as 1t can be
done with absolute safety.
Sd. Under no circumstances is dol
lar invested in any western mortgage or
other out-of- the-state security. we
might perhaps pay our depositors one
half of one per cent. per annum more
interest by incurrlng little addition
al risk, if no loss should come, but we
believe there is to-day a "long-felt
want" in Vermont for savings institu-
ton which will loan its funds at home.
1t is needed that Vermont may not
become impoverished. 1t is needed for
the building up and fostering home in
stitutions. Vermont towns will not
hnnpo xxyith than
towns beyond the Mississippi and in
Alabama. 1t is needed for the greater
safety of the savings of widows and
orphans as well as of all those who look
rather to the absolute security of the
principal than to high rates of interest.
With no disparagement to our neigh
bors who prefer to occupy western
fields we offer to the depositing public
the Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co. as an institution organized to
meet the demand for strictly home in
uestment Savings Bank. That such q
demand exists, and that the people are
ready to bestow their confidence and
announcement upon such an institu-
ton, is evidenced by the fact that the
aggregate of the small deposits alone in
this Bank-not counting any in excess
of SlOOO-were at the end of the first six
months of its business, S57, 1890,
record without parallel, we believe, in
the history of Vermont Savings Banks.
4th. Under no circumstances does
this Bank take over per cent. 1t would
not, knowingly, make an investment
which would pay over per cent. The
safest class of loans and securities will
command money at 6 per cent. The
Bank pays the State tax of six tenths
of per cent. on deposits in lieu of all
taxes to the depositor. 1t must then
be evident that 4 per cent. per annum is
all that the Bank can SAFELY PAY. This
rate it will pay. 1t is guaranteed and
rests on no contingency. Interest will
be compounded semi annually if not
withdrawn.

Regular Hours for Feeding.

The advantage of good feeding de-
ponds much on regularity. II supplies

their digestion is injured and they can
not thrive. Here is the great advant-
age of herbivorous animals over those

gorge themselves when they capture
their prey, and then suffer from hunger
until their next capture. This keeps

The Increasing Popularity of Cremat on.

Cremation is making rapid advance
in public favor. The first cremation
at Working, England, was conducted
in the spring of the year 1885. About
fifty cremations have taken place since
last May. when operations were re-
sumed after the entire reconstruction
of the building hitherto existing there,
and the addition of the handsome little
chapel. On several occasions there
have been two bodies cremated on the
same day. Not only is hostile senh-
ment giving way, put it is beginning
to be found that for middle and upper
class funerals cremation is really
cheaper than burial. The total cost OF
it, including everything ordinarily i'm
piled when we speak of funeral, is
stated to be S75.

Making Pork Too Fat.

The evil of overwhelming pork is
less common than it used to be. Two
reasons have combined to make lean
meat more popular. The doctors
taught that it was more healthful and
nutritious than the fat, and about the
same time the use of other oils decreas-
ed the price of lard so that excessive
fat pork was neither profitable nor
needed. The change in ways OF feed
ing has also had something to do with
making pork more wholesome. Corn
is no longer the exclusive food even
for fattening. The best practice now
is to feed the rations that will make
hogs grow and keep thrifty from the
time it is born until it is killed. There
may be exceptions to this in animals
kept for breeders; but all others should
be Fat enough for use from the time
they are the right size for roasting.
BY the liberal use of milk, oatmeal
and peas growth is promoted, along
with at all times enough fat TO make
delicious pork, far better than that
made by starving the animal while
young, and overlooking with corn as
thew become older

Pea Vine or Large Glover.

For crop to pasture, to rot on the
land or to pillow under for manure, the
pea-vine clover is superior to the
medium or small Variety. But it makes
very coarse hay. which hardly
be cured without heating or getting
wet before it is drawn in. Thus kept,
cattle and sheep reject the butts much
as they do the coarse butts of corn
stalks. Considering the extra trouble
there is in curing the large variety,
the smaller is preferable for hay. In
fact, it will probably give more feed
in first and second crop than the large
kind. Owing to its stronger growth,
the pea vine is less liable to winter
kill than the common variety of clover
