BLUE RIBBON INVITATIONS.

"Blue ribbon invitations to dinner are q
social innovation in this city indicative of
the steady progress of the temperance re-
form. According to the New York Tribune
there has come to be a difference in practice
'tamong people of good taste and position in
New York, who enjoy the presence of their
friends at dinner" with reference to serving
wine 1t says; in many houses, as a mat
ter of principle, wine is never placed upon
the table, and in Others wine is occasionally
omitted for special reasons. For a long time
there has been a social need in the city for
some quiet, pretty, and effective manner of
indicating in invitations to dinner. whether
or not wine will be served, in order that in
vited guests may have full knowledge of the
facts. A movement has been begun, origi-
mating socially and seconded by one of the
popular stationers of the city, for indicating
that wine will not be served during the affair
by attaching a knot of blue ribbon to the
lower left-hand corner Of the invitations A
delightful dinner entertainment was recently
given upon this plan, attended by a large
number of society people. The Tribune adds:
at is believed that the blue-ribbon invita-
tions will solve a difficulty, with which So
ciety has long contended, requests for ones
presence at a dinner to which the ribbon is
not attached speaking for themselves"

ANIMAL opoR IN NIX.

The influence Of animal odor in milk
upon butter is as delecterious as upon
cheese. II the odor of new milk is car
ried into cream, and thence worked into
butter-as it often is by cooling new
milk too low aud too suddenly-the but
ter has a modified flavor in consequence
The fine aromatic, and clear and de-
licious taste Of the oleine and its essen
tial oils, which are developed in butter
from milk free from such odor, are OBJ
scured and modified 60 much as not to
be recognized, and a strong and indis-
tinct flavor, as if something foreign and
impure had been mingled with the but
ter, takes the place of the naturally
agreeable taste. In like manner. butter
made from milk which has become
affected with odor from q feverish con-
dition OF the COWS, or from carrying in
closely covered cans before the animal
odor has escaped-takes on an unnatural,
strong and unpleasant taste, and a
greasy appearance, unless the odor is re.
moved before the cream is raised

A Pirate Bird.

Ex-Governor William G. sterett, oil
Dallas, Texas, says; While on q fishing
and hunting expedition on the Atlantic
coast in North Carolina a few days
since my attention was attracted by a
shrill and frantic cries of the sea gull.
As l looked upward l saw a bird resem-
bling a hawk strike the gull under its
claws, when down came the fish and the
pirate bird after it. The fish had not
gone ten feet before the pirate bird had
it in its stomach. Then he scared up
ward with lightning rapidity, and de-
seending equally as quick, struck the
screaming gull on its back with such
force that the contents of its stomach
were forced out of its mouth, and the
pirate caught 1t in the air as it fell. AT
this moment l took aim at the pirate with
my shutgun and brought him down.

Hanged in Runs She Had Invented

Mrs. Turner, who was hanged in Lon,
don, England, in 1875, for completely in
the poisoning of Sir Thomas Overbury,
was a handsome creature. When she in.
vented the yellow starch she used it on
rufus displayed on her own fine person.
Being a companion to the Countess OF
Essex in the house of her father, the
Earl of Suffolk, Mrs. Turner easily
brought her invention into fashion. or
her conviction Lord Chief Justice Coke
addressed her with accustomed brutality.
He told her that she had been guilty Of
the seven deadly sins, declared that az
she was the inventor of yellow starched
rufus and cuffs, so he hoped that she
would be the last by whom they would
be worn. He accordingly gave strict
orders that she should be hanged in that
attire, which she had rendered so fashion
able. Mrs Turner cam to the scaffold
as if for some festive occasion, with her
face rouged and a ruff stiffened with
yellow starch about her neck. Numerous
persons of quality attended in tnelr
coaches, and the yellow ruff was never
more worn from that day.-Nsw York

FEEDING GROUND GRAIN.

Ground grain will give just as good
results with poultry when it is mixed
with bulky food as it will when it is
mxed with water and fed. In fact, it
is claimed that by addingl 1t to some food
Isuch as clover hay cut fine, and then
scalded) better results will be obtained
from the use of ground grain, as the
mixture of the whole is not so concen.
trated. 1t is true, also, that hens can be
as proftably fed on cut food and grain
rs can COWS, only that the food for the
! hens should be cut exceedingly fine-not
exceeding half an inch in length. ANY
kind of hay is accepted by poultry, but
clover seems most suitable. Poultry will
also eat ensilage if it is cut fine enough.
There is nothing superior for laying hens
than cooked turnips or potatoes, to which
ground grain is added. When grain is
to be fed it will save time and labor to
feed it unground, but there are also times
when it is advantageous to allow ground
grain, but it should always be given as
an addition to cut food. If all the cut
foo9|is scalded before adding the grain,
the entire mess will be improved and ali
CLASSES of fowls will eat it readily. -Farm

A laborer at the Dundee harbor lately told

was followed by two lean rats, the rear rat
being blind. The dreamer was greatly per-

ooJD WORDS FOR TIE cow PEA.

The COW pea seems especially adapted
TO the wants Of Southern farmers. Its
extensive and deep root system enables
it to withstand the long dry spells COM
mon to the climate and also to gather
nourishment from soils ON which shall.
low growing crops would starve. 1t
responds readily to fertilizers, and on
fair soils will produce as large a yield
of nutritive matter as almost any forage
crop that can be grown. In the South
two crops can be grown in a season, and
the growth is so luxuriant that all nox-
ious weeds are choked out.
As the result of analyses made at the
South Carolina Experiment Station, the
following favorable conclusions were
drawn in regard to the COW pea: 1. For
the production of a heterogeneous food in
the shape of a forage crop the COW pea
vines are almost without a rival. 2.
Although no digestion experiments have
as yet been made with it, there is every
reason to believe that this crop is equal
ly as digestible as leguminous plants in
general. 3. On an acre of ordinary
'nd this ercp will probably produce
-gcstible food than either oats or
A. The manure resulting from
-eeding this crop is of the highest value
and should be carefully preserved and
returned to the land.
AS the COW pea obtains a part of its
nitrogen from the atmosphere and a
part, together with some of its phos-
phoric acid and potash from the sub
soils the large amount of these ~constit-
uents left in its roots and stubble
and dead leaves dropped by the
plant tend to enrich instead of impover-
ish the soil. In other words, its power
of collecting and storing fertilizing ma
terials from sources beyond the reach of
the cereals makes the COW pea a valuable
remedial crop. In addition to all this it
is thought more than probable that the
shade produced by the luxuriant growth
of this crop during the summer months,
when notification is most active, greatly
promotes the formation and storage OF
lnitrates in the soil.

A STORY OF JOHN r. coueu.

On a summer night a temperance meeting
was held in New Haven, Conn. A gentle
man, standing under the old elms of that city.
saw Cough, partially drunk, vending his
way to a saloon. He touched him on the
shoulder, and, in n sympathetic tone, be-
sought his 'shipwrecked brother" TO 20
along with him to the temperance meeting.
Mr.. Cough consented, and, greatly inn
pressed by the appeals to which he listened,
he signed the pledge of total abstinence. His
subsequent history as a temperance leader is
known to the civilized world. The gentle
man who relates this incident says that he
has never forgotten that moonlight meeting
with Cough in New Haven. Whenever, in
after years, he heard the thunderous APP.
plause that greeted John b. Cough. on the
temperance platform, he caught the echo OF
that soft tap on the shoulder, under the grand
old elms of the New England capital.
