tertAlnIaent, con
tributed by members of the theatrical
profession and given Wednesday after
noon at the broadway Theater. Mrs.
lars out of the occasion.
The talk of modish New York is large
ly about the participation by the bellies
and beaus in amateur burlesque theatre
Gals. Several such entertainments ave
employed the more famously pretty girls
of The Astor-V Vanderbilt clique. A trav-
esty of opera. a realization of ONE nur-
sery stories, and a series of comic tab
leaux have had marked success. Moth
ing but public opinion keeps the young
amateur actors in the fashionable world
from appearing on the stage in a genu-
inc, old-fnshioned Lydia Thompson
style of burlesque opera. Recently some
of the bellies we're seen at a theater in a
mild piece of frolicsome nonsense that
bad all the elements OF burIesque, but
weight of clothes.
1T is perfect nonsense to give a bur
lesque in long SIX 'rts,' said the prize

would dress my part as it demands" De-
string to be we'll up in her part in a re-
cent burlesque charitable performance
one of the pretty girls engaged the ser.
vices of o handsome prima donna, whose
acquaintance she had formed some time
previous, and had herself drilled sys-
tems'ically for the approaching show.
The tctress taught her innumerable little
touches of stage coquetry, and for reward
received plenty of champagne and kisses.
Tho two became jolly friends, and the
society girl even went SO far as to visit
the other in her dressing room. One
Saturday afternoon the maiden, by the
help Of the dresser, arrayed herself in a
full stage costume, and awaited the re-
turn of the actress, who was engaged in q
stage scene. As she posed in self admit
ration Of herself in the glass the sound Of
footsteps was heard outside the dress
ing Suddenly the door few open
and the manager of the theater stood in
the doorway. The girl in the tights
screamed and stood in the center of the
floor, the most miserable and Inundated
of beings.
"Oh, l beg your pardon" said the man
ager. Il knew Miss - was on the
stage or I would have knocked. But
what are you doing here? Are you one
of the ch0rus?"
This last question brought out another
cream, and the maid was compelled to
explain matters to the manager, who re-
tired amid profuse apologies. But he
sent word to the young lady through the
prima donna that she could appear at his
theater in statuesque parts whenever she
saw 1T to do so.-NeW York letter TO Chi

A Spirited Suitor,

MANY anecdotes are related about
the droll sayings Of the late Jonas Hill
Of Fayette. He had = peculiar way Of
speaking, which those who heard him
will never forget, but his pronunciation
81 hardly be represented in print.
He was st one time a suitor for the
haud al : young lady whose parents
did not favor him. Her father did not
think that the social standing Of Jonas
was such a. to render him q fit match
for his daughter, but he told the young
msn that il he would bring him high
toned references he would consider his
claim. Jones said nothing, but felt in.
dignant, and resolved to have his re-
venge. So he procured the best Of
recommendations as to his character
and standing in society. The old man
examined the credentials and was sat
isfed. All right" said he, "you are
welcome; walk into my parlor, and
your horse shall be stabbed and fed"
.Not by any MEANS" replied Jones,
my (th) horse is neither hungry nor
(th) dry, and / shall never tthl darken
your tth) doors any more. Good-day,
air. And. putting the whip to his
horse, he drove out Of the dooryard,
leaving the old gentleman glaring after
him, dumfounded.-LeMist0n Journal.

Honest with Himself.

"What l most admire about him."
said the friend of an eminent man, "is
his perfect truth. He not only speaks
truthfnlly To others, but he is incapable
of deceiving himself"
But many are the men and ome
who do deceive themselves, calling dis
honor prudence, and false dealing ex-
cusable, under the circumstances" A
school-gir was one day talking over .
burglary which had taken place in q
neighboring house, and ended with the
declaration that, in her own case, she
should be frantic if . man walked off
with her watch in his pocket.
But always hide it at night" said
she.
II don't see what good that does,"
said . schOOl-mate. aHe might put a
pistol to your head and ask for it, as
that one did when Mrs. Forbes would
mot give up her diamonds"
@But I should tell him ! hadn't any
watch. said the first speaker, coolly.
3Why, May Ellis. tell : Iieifs
at wouldn't be . lie. Before l spoke
I should give it away, in my mind, and
then take it back sgain after he had
gone"
well, . put in another girl, Il should
rather lose q watch than twist my mind
round quite as much as that and 80
would any absolutely sincere person.

herself, when dressed for Q party, in

The warmth of the present wint.l
more fully emphasizes a fact which or.
| parently escapes the notice of too mahy
farmers and poultry raisers-the fact that
late Matched, fall and winter chickens
are in most wavs more desirable, ard IN
all ways more profitable, than those
hatched in the warmest summer months.
II is Wonderful with what determined
p~crtinacity the ordinary person holds to
the theory Of Matching and raising oil
chickens at such times that they shall
be fit for market during tn: months Of
October, November and December, when
no one cares much for them and the
price is about what the dealer cares to
pay.
The supply at that season is always
full and the demand light. Later, after
Jan. I, and until Oct. l, there il a con-
stant, steady demand for plump, yellow
skinned chickens which cannot salts
factorily be supplied with those shipped
from q distance. There seems to be no
With a little calculation and some at
tention to methods, chickens may be

Epring months OF very lite more cx-
pense than il raised in the warmer
months; and prices received will aver

ence which makes it a paying industry;
which cannot be said of raising poultry

middle Of October to the following

II is better to feed at 6 o'clock than 3.
Two hours gained in the morning is half
a day ahead in spring time. A farmer
never feels himself, if he sleeps until 7;
few wide-a-wake ones do this.
We never have but little roup about.
Why? The door is not left open ut
night, the house is comfortable, not
damp underfoot; sloppy food is not left
about; all these things explain the cause
of roup, and if attended to you need
not have q case of roup either; take the
warning.

II STOCk-RANCH,
Cleaning Hortes' Legs.

~"
In answer to the questions of . sub
scriber to an English paper. what
should / do to clean my horses legs of
mud when they come in from work ON
clayey land? should they be wished,
or would that be dangerous for cold?
Is it q good plan to clip the hair of the
legs Of farm horses?" The answers are
given: The danger is not 70 much in
risk of cold as in causing an infiamed
condition of the skin OF the legs, Civ
ing rise to cracked heels, and q tendency
to grease. 1t is not a good plan to clip
the hair Oft the legs Of farm horses for
the same reason. The hair acts as a
protection against actual contact be-
tween dirt and irritating material and
the skin; for although the long hair may
become muddy the wet alone penetrates
the skin, while although wet this hair
serves to keep the extremities warm.
Washing is rarely more than half done,
the dirt is washed in instead of OF, or
the driver ia content to throw q Bucket
or two of water over the legs or to drive
. horse into . pond. This, however, y
by no means the worst feature OF wash
ing; it is leaving the feet vet that causes
the mischief, for it is often that q man
has neither time nor inclination to rub
the heels dry when they are fully feath-
cred. Left wringinR wet, chaps and
comes perverted and grease occurs.
But il we may neither clip the legs nor
wash them how are the legs TO be
cleaned? When the horse comes in vet
and muddy, scrape on the thickest Of
the dirt. then put on an old set Of band
ages and let the remainder dry. Even
if it remains until the next morning NO
harm is done-less certainly than II the
legs are half washed and left wet. Gen.
orally the legs are quite dry while the
driver is engaged in other work. and
either then or tao next morning tho
dandy brush and curry comb will got
out the remainder.
