At recent high jinks" of the Ten
derloin club q number of professionals
in the theatrical and musical line were
present and helped to enliven the occa-
sion by their songs, recitations and
funny stories.
Among these were comedian Ed
Stevens, of the Casino company, and
Signor Tagliapietra, of operatic fame
Mr.. Stevens RECALLED the assemblace
with a series of amusing anecdotes, and
the signor, in response to repeated calls.
sang THE PALMS. and other musical
selections in his own inimitable style.
Among the guests was an elderly gen
tleman from Schoharie county, this
state, whose knowledge of the stage
and its representatives, however, is
somewhat limited At the conclusion
OF the signor's last song he turned to
his friend and innocently remarked:
THAT fellow there sings pretty well,
doesn't he? Why, I should think he
could make his living by singing songs.
That's what I'd do, at any rate, if had
his voice. As for that other chap
there" he went on, referring to Mr..
Stevens, 'he'd ought to study for the
stage. There's the making of fine
comedian in him."
The countryman was very much dis
concerted at the laugh which followed
He was treasured, however, when
Signor Tagliapietra came up to him
and said, Il am indeed obliged, sir;
that was the finest compliment l have
ever received in my life. New York

Potato Experiments.

OF 122 varieties and seedlings of the
potato tested the past season at the Wis
consin station, the following ten were
most productive, yielding in the order
named: Seeding from G. E. Angel,
Rose Beauty, Monarch, Duplex, Late
Beauty of Hebron, Mullaly, Alexander's
Prolific, Seneca Red Jacket, White Beau
ty of Hebron and Wisconsin Beauty.
Placed in the order of their table quality,
these varieties would rank as follows:
Alexander's Prolific, White Beauty of
Hebron, Late Beauty of Hebron, Duplex,
Monarch, Wisconsin Beauty, Seneca Red
Jacket, Rose Beauty, Mullaly, seeding
from G. E. Angel. Both with cuttings
and whole tubers, the largest merchant
able yield came from the heaviest seed
ing, though the increase of merchantable
yield was by no means in proportion to
the increase of seed. The proportion of
small potatoes increased with the increase
of seed. The smaller whole potatoes gave
inferior results to the smaller cuttings
Two single eyes in a hill yielded decided
ly more than one, without correspond
ing increase in small potatoes. No loss
in yield followed planting in hills as com
pared with drills. The results were clearly
opposed to cutting off the ''seed end" of
the potato before planting. No advan-
tage followed sprinkling the cuttings with
land plaster before planting.

Helpful Hints Concerning Eoup.

P. Fl. Jacobs, of Hammonton, N. j.,
gives the following helpful hints in
American Rural Home:
The best time to handle the disease is
when it first makes its appearance, and
to prevent its spread tine sick birds
should be removed from the others. The
premises should be thoroughly disinfect-
ed, and lime freely scattered over the
yard, and the houses well sprinzled
with a solution of a tablespoonful Of
carbolic acid in pailful of water.
1t has been demonstrated that the
germs of roup can be destroyed by quick
lime and by spirits of turpentine. When
whitewashing it would be well to add a
teaspoonful of spirits of trrpentine to
the whitewash.
The drinking vessels should be kept
scrupulously clean, and the water be
changed twice day, in each case a tea
spoonful of turpentine being added to
each gallon of water With these pre-
cautions the roup may be kept away.
The proper way to treat all diseases by
giving medicine is in the drinking water
though if only one or two valuable birds
are sick they may be treated by han
ding, All fowls will drink, even when
they will not eat
Some breeds are more, subject to roup
than others. Birds with crests, which
become water soaked iii wet weather,
and birds with very tall lcombs, which
become frosted, are liable to roup when
they are exnOsa1

An Honest Man.

One afternoon James McCue, tho cir
Gus proprietor, educated pig owner,
etc, could have been seen lashing his
horse into a gaIlop on Market street in
an ondeavOr to keep pace with seedy
looking Splinter who was lodging along
with a tat purse in his hand. McCue
had seen the fellow pick it up on the
sidewalk, and was impressed with the
idea that he was trying to avoid the
owner.
just rs the philanthropist pulled up
abreast of the runner and opened his
mouth to cXcoriate him the seedy indi-
vidual tapped lady on the shoulder
and handed her Che purse. The lady
had not missed it. but was overioyed at
escaping the loss, and fishing a half
eagle out or large quantity of gold
she offered it to the man for his hon
esty. He declined it with thanks, lifted
his hat and walked off.
McCue nearly had fit when the act
was concluded, but recovered in time
to halt the young man and bestow a
hearty greeting on him.
Honest men are so scarce these
times, said McCue, that 1 want to
testify my appreciation. But why didn't
you take tho reward when she offered
it? You look as though it wouldn't
have hurt you"
''Well, l don't know as it would, but
l don't need it just now, you know"
And the man with the seedy clothes
reached into his pocket and fished out
a handful Of Juveniles" that bore out
his assertion. San Francisco Exam

Fred's mamma had trained him by
example and precept" to be courteous,
and he seldom forgot the lesson, even
under very trying circumstances.
One afternoon a maiden aunt, who
was something of trial to Fred, came
to the house while his mamma was
away and insisted on his rehearsing all
the new verses and songs he had learned
at kindergarten since her last visit.
He went through his repertoire pa
tiently until he was quite tired, and
still his aunt demanded another and
another
At last Fred said politely, but with
considerable 1rmness, ''I'll do just this
one more, Aunt Lucretia, and them
looking anxiously at the clock-''I am
afraid you'll have to go, if you don't
want to lose your train youths

Spoke Fifty LANGUAGES.

The question is asked: Who is the
man who has been termed the ''Bria-
reus of languagss@' Cardinal Mez-
zotanti, an Italian, who was born in
IVA and who 81 u 1849 is doubtless
the man me;ln1 2s5ny terms express
sive of his wonderful readiness in the
acquisition and retention of languages
have been applied to him, and if all
that has been told of his powers in
this direction be true the terms were
deserved. The cardinal is said to have
spoken 122 languages auently, and to
have been able to acquire a thorough
knowledge of a language in from one
to three weeks. One day when the
cardinal was walking in the Vatican
gardens, according to a story told
about him, the pope sent fifty men,
each speaking different language,
comprising all the tongues of Europe
and many of those of Asia, to speak
to him, one by one, and he responded
correctly in every instance in the Ian
guage in which he was addressed.

y Clcrrymau's RIM

A lady of Walnut Street church has
presented her pastor with a most re-
markable ring. 1t is probably the only
one of the kind in the world 1t con-
tains twelve precious stones, the same
as were in the Aaronic high priests
breastplate, and arranged in the same
order-sardius, emerald, figure, beryl
topaz, sapphire, agate, onyx. carbuncle,
diamond, amethyst and jasper The
effect is beautiful and brilliant, rather
too fine for d Baptist preacher to wear.
He will wear it sometimes, however,
and his better half will wear it q great
deal. The stones are specimens of the
best of their kind respectively.-Louis-
vile Western Recorder.
