The aceGthe, today

PORTLAND, May 9, 1891.
II II ERE'S a word to
i i you who are al
ready preparing
for an early exodus to the
summer cottage.
In other years you've
known the bother of the
clumsy wooden WATERFALL,
the heavy earthern pitcher
and the unwieldy stone
jug which you've had to
use to fetch water in.
You've been Disguised
with the unhandy awkward
things and you've wished
for something better;
haven't you?
Then the line of En-
glish Japanned tin-ware
that the basement sales
room opens today will in
terest you.
You'll like their light
ness and brightness, their
commodious size and the
convenient shapes, and
you'll be pleased with their
quaint Medieval forms and
colors which are faithful
copies of the jugs and cans
and ewers used in old En-
glish houses centuries ago.
They're not only useful
and durable but they're
artistic and decorative and
very cheap. They are
good enough and pretty
enough for the City house
but for the island cottage
nothing can be better.

The Breed Not in the Feed.

There is an old saying, believed by
many, especially by those who pretend
to ignore the prepotency of blood, that
breed goes in at the mouth" Nothing
can be further from the truth than
this dogma. Had they said that the
characteristics of breed could be
changed by what goes in at the mouth,
no observing breeder would dissent.
The artificial treatment that produce
the habits, functions and characteristics
of improved animals must be continued
or they will surely relapse and show
traits altogether different from those
most sought after, and, in some cases,
almost destroy their usefulness for the
special purpose they are intended for.
The successful breeder must be a
student of nature. He should NOT only
use judgment in his selection of stock,
but he should also study the nature,
habits and treatme mt that have called
into existence and made hereditary the
peculiar characteristics ard functions
he aims at perpetuating and improving.

NOTES ABOUT PIGEONS.

THE homing pigeon will live to be
fifteen years old if given good care and
healthful quarters.
THERE should always be a good sup
ply of fresh water in the loft and the
vessels be kept clean.
THE nesting places should be large
enough to allow the birds plenty of
room to turn around.
TUMBLERs are always entertaining.
They show u bright, active way that
rarely fails to attract attention.
SQUADS are ready to market at from
four to six weeks. When convenient
to market raising them is considered a
very profitable business.
IT is best not to attempt to keep
large numbers together. They will
thrive better and keep healthier if di-
vided up into small hocks.
BLOOD feathers can be remedied by
mixing flour of sulphur with butter, to
make it adhere together, and give Il
pill the size of pea until they mott.
AMONG the short-faced varieties,
especially, many of the pigeons would
die in the shell if not assisted out; their
besks are TOO short to pierce the shells.

which can be fitted with doors so as to

can walk through the entire length to
clean them out, or TO feed grain to
horses and cattle.
The floor of the managers l would
make from eight inches to one foot
higher than that on which the cattle
and horses stand, but the floor must
not be raised SO much as to interfere
with tall man walking through the
manager. If more stable room is needed,
the COW stable manger can be made
five feet wide instead of four, and an
other row of cattle tied up to eat from
the opposite side of it, and some box
stalls made for both horses and cows,
and provision must be made for storing
bedding. There should be two granaries
In the basement for feed for horses and
cows and two above for grain. In a
barn of this size there ought to be two
driveways or barn floors above, so as to
make it convenient to fill the barn,
with hay chutes located SO that hay and
fodder can be dropped into the managers.

GRACE OVER A SNAKE.
A Possible Reason Why the Deacon Died
of Consumption After Taking.

A Possible Reason Why the Dea con Died
of Consumption After Taking.
Among the many superstitions held
by the people concerning the medical
virtues of the rattlesnake was the be-
lief that any person who ate one after
it was cooked would never die of con-
sumption. In one of the adjoining
towns lived Squire Perley, wealthy
man well imbued with the popular su-
perstitions of the day. Most of the
family connections had died of that
dread disease, and as he had already be-
gun to exhibit signs of the same trouble
he concluded to try the reported rattle
snake cure.
When the meal was prepared and the
family were called to surround the
board, the squire in most devout man
ner invoked blessing upon the food
before them, earnestly praying that it
might be sanctifed to their use and
benefit.
A spinster named Eliza Staples, far
famed for ready wit and aptness of re-
partee, happened to be stopping at the
squire's for few days. AS soon as all
were comfortably seated, Eliza opened
her battery upon the squire in a way
but few would care to do
Squire" said she, 81 am really
ashamed of you, and am greatly shocked
at the abominable and wicked act in
which you have just been engaged"
What do you mean, woman, by the
use of such insulting language to me,
in my own house and at my own tablet"
roared the squire, trembling with an
ger and a dark cloud overhanging his
brow.
what do l mean?" retorted the maid
en-, in her usual calm and pleasant
manner. 81 beg of you just stop and
ponder on what you have Just done.
After God had cursed the serpent and
decreed that he should creep on his
belly and eat dust of the earth all the
days of his life, besides placing enmity
between him and the seed of the woman,
you, against the wishes of your entire
household, should persist in having him
placed upon your table and ask an all
wise Providence to revoke His decree by
Sanctifying him to our use and benefit"
This was a settler. Not a word fol-
lowed. The old man bowed his head,
and enjoyed his snake diet in glum
silence, but died of consumption after
all.-Lewiston Journal.

Conversation Containing a Brace Of
Morals for Buttermakers.

Conversation Containing a Brace Of
Morals for Buttermakers.
"I wonder" said woman the other
day, ''if there is anybody from whom
can buy butter that does not taste of
the stable? | have had butter from
families of the highest reputation
for neatness, but it is so Convey l
cannot use it." "Ho, no." replied an
other, you old butterma1ers are too
critical; you should have more charity.
In all the tons on tons of butter you
have made, did you never happen to
have a mess that tasted of the stable?"
Never" said she. "We did not make
that kind; and there is no excuse for
making it. But if we had made it we
would not have sold 1t, and least of all
to our neighbors. We never undertook
the impossible. In dairy of fifty or
more cows of course we had several
mixers and were subject to frequent
changes of men. Reasonable precau-
tions were made to have everything as
clean as practicable in the stables, and
then the men were given to understand
that if by any accident anything I'M
clean got into the milk they could re-
port it and put the milk into the vat of
skim milk for feeding calves and swine,
but under no circumstances must it go
into the dairy-house, and every pail of
milk was carefully inspected to know
that none came in. Lenient, fair treat
ment made the men careful and faith
full, and by that simple means we lost
little milk and no butter.
Nov, about selling butter off quail
ity," she continued, almost the only
case l remember will illustrate our
method: A mess was overturned (bY
| horse-power) during very busy time
in haying. We never made any better
butter except that the texture or grain
was injured. We might possibly have
put it on our regular market without
serious dctriment to reputation, but
preferred not to take the risk, for we
were getting good deal more than the
general price 70 our butter We ac-
cordingly consigned it, unbranded, to a
commission house to be disposed of
on its merits. We always sold our but
ter, to the very last lot we made, to one
of the most careful and discriminating
firms in the trade, for retailing over
their own counters; and we had only a
| single complaint. One lot was criti-
cised as too highly colorcd, but when
informed that it was naturally colored
only we got from the firm most
graceful apology and appreciable com
pliment. We always acted upon the
| theory that selling unsatisfactory but
ter would injure us good deal more
than the purchaser, and we would
rather have given it away than have
the name of selling it. Now, how about
this faulty butter have just bought?
| took it, without having seen it, on
the strength of a representation by the
producer that it was good and nice.
presume their butter is generally good
and frequently nice, but this one eX-
pcrience will suffice to set me against
it, and | shall have to be very hard
pressed before | venture to try it

SCARCITY OF GOOD cARvERs.
A Knack That IL Possessed BY but Few

A Knack That IL Possessed BY but Few
Man.
1t is fact that good carver is rare
bird in this latitude. Not one man in
ten can carve even a plain joint as it
should be done, and when it comes to
cutting upa turkey or smaller birds the
percentage of failures, comparative
and absolute, is even greater. Why is
this? Our fathers were able to handle
the carving knife with great dexterity,
and even tough duck did not daunt
them. 1t will never do for us to con-
fess that we are not as good, if not bet
ter, than our fathers, but it is clear
nevertheless that the art of carving, the
art mind you, is dying out. Our faith
ers are often responsible for this, be-
cause they keep on carving till death
cuts them down, instead of handing
over the head of the table with its carv-
ing responsibilities to their sons in sue
cession. This seems to be the only eX-
PLANTATION aside from the one foreigners
are so prone to allege that Americans
are so much given to abiding in hotels
and boarding houses that they are more
and more losing the accomplishments
and graces which are born of and adorn
home life. And the peculiar disgrace
of the masculine happiness with the
knife is that mans better half most of
the time can carve all around him, SO to
speak.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
