Young Eddie Gould.

A youngster in whose doings Wall
street takes a keen interest is Eddie
Gould, as he is usually called. He is
heavy-faced black-bearded sullen-
looking young man, who is distinctly
less in his millionaire fathers good
graces than the eldest son, George,
and no wonder since Eddie has more
than once been seen openly selling
securities the old man was trying to
bull. THIS incident might have sug-
gested the stock-breaking scene in
mThe Henrietta, but probably didn't.
Wall street life ages a man very rapid
ly: Eddie Gould looks now like a
middle-aged man, but it is only five
years since I saw him, mere striplinp
then taking part in canoe race on
the Hudson, and laughing as gleefully
as any one when he got tipped into
the chilly water in a padding race.

A BRAINY HIRED GIRL.

/ 1havea "hired girl" in this city who
does not take offense when alluded to
IN such manner. In fact, she con-
sented that might tell about her, and
that I might call her a "hired girl"
Born the daughter of q Canadian
farmer, having district school edu.
cation, and well versed in housework
from building fires, sweeping and
washing dishes to canning fruit and
making bread, butter and cheese, she
came to this city to get an education.
There isn't anything in the line of
housework that she cannot do well,
and she earns 81 q week and her
board and lodging, with one afternoon
and evening and Sunday afternoon
and evening each week to herself, She
has worked in one family for five
years. She has nearly $500 in the
bank, she owns q type-writing ma
chime and can "take" as q stenogra-
pher nearly 200 words q minute. She
has, besides all these things mention
ed, had several offers of marriage dur
ing the past two or three years, none
OF which was accepted. What does
she purpose doing? Her secret is this:
Her father, not a wealthy man, was
able and desired to give one of his two
daughters thorough education. He
couldn't afford to educate both girls,
SO the other one, the "hired grip re-
ferred to, told him to educate the
younger one. This the father is doing,
and the "hired grip is keeping pace
with her sister.-Detroit Free Press.

A Partisan Bunco Game,

Paris most popular bunco game
just now is played thus: Awell-dressed
stranger with II handbag hurries into
hotel restaurant near railway sta
tion, eats a fine dinner and engages
the landlord in conversation. He
praises the cooking and, after paying
his bill, promises to make the hotel
his headquarters during his frequent
visits to the city AS he opens the
door to leave he calls back for the
landlords name. When the landlord
gives it the stranger remarks: ecu
rious, that is my name, too," asks
the landlord to care for letters or
packages to his address and leaves.
Letters come for the stranger and are
called for by "his valet" Finally a
package comes and is also carried of.
That is all. The trick is up and the
landlord and the tradesman who sent
around the package may settle the
loss as best they can.-Chicago Herald.

Setting Plants Too Deep.

1t is we'll known that setting young
trees from the nursery much deeper
than they stood before, especially if
down in the hard subsoil, is unfavora-
BILE to their most successful growth.
The same principle appears to apply
to young vegetables. The experiment
was tried at the Ithaca station Two
hundred plants OF Wakefield cabbage
were set deep and shallow in alternate
rows-the deep ones sunk up to the
first leaves, the shallow ones at the
same depth that they stood in the
seed bed. The deepset plants gave
only ~ solid heads in 100; the shall
low set produced s5 solid heads, and
these weighed IL per cent more than
the deep ones. The ground planted
was heavy soil; there would proba-
bly, be less difference in a light SOIL

Working and Packing.

A great deal of butter that is really
ficst-class when made is damaged for
market purposes by bad working and
packing, or by bad packing alone. A
good looking package will often sell it.
self if the purchaser isnot agood Judge
OF butter. The appearance to the eye
has much to do with the price, for an
unattractive package of butter preju-
dices the taste. Too much salt incor-
porated when working, so that there
are streaks and dashes OF white
throughout the mass, hurts the taste
and the sale OF butter; it hides the pure
flavor of the honest product OF the
churn. Too much work destroys the
grain. After going to the labor and
expense of milking, setting the milk,
skimming and churning, it is folly to
waste two to five cents per pound in
the value of the butter by mistake
in manipulating and packing.

The Butter Extractor.

The American Dairyman in it's issue
of March 12 says: In introducing the
butter extractor in this country one
of the great difficulties to be contend
ed with has been the question of pat
ents. AS we contended then and still
hold, the patents of the Butter Ex-
tractor Company are an infringement
and it seems that our theory at that
time is being borne out, as we are in
receipt of small pamphlet addressed
to creamerymen in which the question
of this patent is fully discussed, AMI
the public at large nre cautioned
against the purchase of the butter en-
tractor-separator, as each and every
person using one will be prosecuted to
the fullest limit of the law. We tried
to effect compromise over a year
ago-in fact, before it was organized
between the owners of the butter ex-
tractor and the holders of the other
potents whereby these machines could
be manufactured and sold in the
United States and Canada without
any risk of the purchaser being prose
cuted for using the machines, but the
managers, orrather, promoters of the
Butter Extractor, Co., feeling sure
they knew it all, have gone on in the
even tenor of their way and have re-
Gently formed coalition with a manu-
featuring concern in an Eastern State
in the hope that through the use of
their name many people will purchase
the butter extractor, not thinking for
q moment that they are buying a law
suit that will probably strip their prop
erty from, under them.

A STRANGE MARRIAGE.
First Mohammedan Wedding Ever
Celebrated In England:

The first Mohammedan marriage
ever celebrated in England took place
recently at the Moslem Institute, Liv-
erpool, where the followers OF the
prophet in that city regularly assem-
bic. The bride was Miss Charlotte
Fitch, eldest daughter of Charles Fitch,
j. p, OF London, and the bridegroom
Mohammedan barrister practicing
in London, whose father is Revenue
Secretary to the Nizam of Hyderabad.
There was preliminary marriage at
st. Giles, Camberwell. The Vice
President OF the Moslem congregation
officiated, the condition of fitness for
such office being a knowledgeo of Arabic.
The Moulvie, as the official is called,
was dressed in long robe of crimson
silk, beneath which was ticht-fittinc
tunic of embroidered black velvet, the
whole girdled by a broad gold belt,
and wearing turban of white silk,
with streamers which fell over his
shoulders. There were two bride.
maids. The brides responses were in
English, the bridegroom's in English
and Arabic. The lady repeated after
the Moulvie the words of the marriage
contract: ~ stand here, in the pres
ence OF God and allwho ere assembled,
to unite my heart to your heart, and
my destiny to your destiny, and to be
called by your name. Your sorrow
shall be my sorrow, your happiness
shall be my happiness" The bride
groom made similar promises, after
which the Moulvie delivered an address
to the newly welded pair, quoting as
exemplars Adam and Eve, and Mo-
hammed "a: and Khadija, Fatima and
Ali, as models of conjugal fidelity.
After this the bridegroom placed the
ring on the BRIDES finger. The cere-
mony ended with the inscribing of the
names Of the contracting parties and
their witnesses in the register of the
mosque, one of the witnesses being the
Ottoman Consul General in Liverpool,
and another the Minister OF Education
for the Armenian Provinces, who had
journeyed from Constantinoplet to as
sist in organizing the Moslem congre-
cation in Liverpool.

scrupulous in playing it out"
What else can you expect? Ihave
staked everything in this affair: and
when final success can be gained by
disregarding a glrl's g tears, do you think
I'm the man to hesitate? Pooh! leave
drivelling to such precious spoonies as
my cowardly cousin. Pm not of that
sort, as you ought to have known
long ago."
She reflected q few moments, and
then said
"You must not go over with us:
Clara would at once suspect our OBJ.
ject, and on our arrival IN Havana.
she might refuse to go with us to Mi
randola."
81 can easily follow you in the next
steamer. It is lucky that you still re-
tain control of the place. We must
make good use of the time left us, for
the tide that has so long set in our ia
vor will soon be on the ebb."
Mrs. Pierre sat with compressed
lips, and dreamy eyes, until Lumley
impatiently said
"What has come over you, Lonore?
Is this the way to meet the crisis of
our destiny? Shrink back now-lose
courage-and all is lost. Think what
we may attain by sitting this incon-
venient burst of penitence; then look,
if you dare, on what we shall actually
become if we fail at last"
She shivered, and covered her face
with her hands.
81 know it all, Albert; but this poor
child loves and trusts me. l feel more
tenderness toward her than thought
could ever again cherish for any hu-
man creature. 1t is base and cruel
conspiracy that we have formed
against her, and, if 1 could, l would
retrace my steps-would leave her to
seek happiness, for with you she must
be miserable"
How do you know that? I shall be
very devoted to her for few weeks. I
shall bask in the sunshine of her
smiles, and make the little thing love
me in spite of herself. My alteration
won't last long, perhaps, but what
does last? rather think that the
story of our first parents in the Gar
den of Eden is only myth intended
to typify the short-lived sweetness of
welded bliss. A few weeks of delu-
sion and then the gates of the Para
disc are for ever closed, and the flam-
ing sword of necessity drives the dis
enchanted pair out among the harsh
realities of life, and the real struggles
begin. Faugh! really believe am
getting sentimental myself; but one
thing is certain, Lonore, l am resolute
to win in this venture, and you shall

Dy tne name OF Jlh., says the Il PomerOy
Independent. The writer bought him
OF Mr.. James Bourne of Walla Walla
IN October, 1877. He was then past
years of age. Jim is just about the
age-1s-of consent this spring. He
carries his age we'll and looks as gay
as colt. Old Brother Gwin OF Walla
Walla county raised him and gave
him or traded him to his son-in-law.
The good horse Jim has done excellent
service in his time. Hehelped to save
the writer's life and that OF others in
the BannOck war. We first taught
Jim to work. He did not like it very
we'll at first, but little coaxing got
him down to business. He helped to
pull and carried us on his back $4,000
miles from 1877 to 1880, the year we
sold him to Cummings who was mur-
dered at New York Bar in this country.
The old boy recognized us the other
day when wespoke to him and seemed
glad to see us. Jim is good old

others have been correct in declaring

Young Cows Are Best.

pays to keep any COW after eight
years unless it be for her calves, for
the milking qualities certainly depreci-
ate at that age when she passed her

portant part of theincomefrom acow,
it may pay to keep the best OF the old
cows on this account, although my
experience has been that old cows do
not retain their yield of milk so long
the value of an old COW I might men,
ton one which was Ia years old when
she brought me her thirteenth heifer
calf, which was my best testing and
experimental COW, and which, when
between her second and third calves,
made 625 pounds of butter, and in
four years made 1649 pounds of but
ter, all of which sold at an average of
SO cents per pound, bringing in that
time the sum of of$s24.5O, or over 5000
per year. Certainly this old COW de-
served to live her time out and COM
plete an honored old age. She was q
pure Jersey of the old type, a fawn
with white legs, and was bought very
cheaply at the time when there was q

American Cheese.

Good cheese is made in this country
but it is mighty scarce. In the town
where the writer lives there is only one
grocery store where O good, rich,
whole milk cheese can be bought, and
there are a score or more ofgroceries in
the place. They all sell cheese, of
course, but it is the tough, tasteless,
quickly drying sort that owns itself a
"skin," if not a "skim," and isn't
worth one-quarter OF the price charg-
ed as an article of food.
Is not this O shame? A good, whole
milk cheese is one Of the most whole
some and nutritious OF foods. 1t
ought to be constantly used as an
article of diet in every American house
hold. But as matter of fact you sell
dom find it OH the American table. Ii
there is cheese in most cases it is of
foreign make. at least in the houses
whose inmates know what good cheese
is.
This ought not so to be. We should
have the best cheese in the world, and
plenty OF it. Why will our cheese
makers persist in killing the goose
that lays the golden egg? They have
immensely diminished the market at
home, and are now actively engaged
in killing the foreign trade. This is
short-sighted business. More than
that, it is disgrace to the American
name to send abroad such miserable
stuff as the product of American IN
dustry.

Farm Hints.


Use care in letting the horses have
fresh pasture. A sudden change to
greenfood often gives collie.
Buttermilk is sometimes too valu-
able for the pigs. Use it instead OF
water when making bread, and use it
as drink on the table.
No remedies should be attempted for
black knot on plum trees until the
affected branches are removed. Black
knot also affects some varieties of
cherries.
Do not keep the cream too long be-
fore you churn. By waiting until
enough cream is secured to make a
churning, bitter butter may be the re-
suit.
One of the most important matters
for the farmer to look after is the in
surance on his buildings. It is often
deferred until the very day it is due,
and many instances are known of
losses a few hours after the policy had
expired.
No young animal will grow faster
than young lamb of the mutton
breeds of sheep, if it is given plenty Of
ground grain, with variety of sue
culent food, as soon as it begins to
eat, and it will give good results for
the food consumed.

THE AGRICULTURAL WORLD
SUBJECTS OF INcALcULARLE
VALUE TO FARMERS.
A Word About Potatoes--American
Cheese--The Butter Extractor
--Worktng and Packing--The
Currant Worm.
AWord About Potatoes.

Two things ure essential to the
healthful development of the potato o
crop. First, planting in dry soil:
second, the presence in considerable
quantity of kainit in whatever arti-
ficial manure is applied. 1t is very
important that the soil should be dry
more so, indeed, than fineness OF
tilth, though that is no reason why
the latter should be neglected. Alight,
sandy loan, properly enriched with
the elements adapted to the growth of
the tubers, produces the best potatoes.
The chief mineral ingredients of the
potato crop are potash and phos-
pilates. If these do not exist in the
proper proportion in the soil, it is
necessary to add them. As matter
OF fact. they rarely do so exist, and
fertilizing mixture of some kind is re-
quired in order to secure the best re-
suits. 1t is easy to purchase ready
made mixtures, warranted to produce
the most astounding crops. But no
two soils need quite the same propor-
tions of mineral ingredients, and it is
better. if possible, to ascertain by
analysis what is lacking and supply
the need than to buy some mixture
which may not contain the elements
required, or may have an excess of
one kind and q deficiency of ofanother.
II the farmer, by careful study and
the help OF q competent analyst,
learns what his land requires, then he
can purchase the necessary materials
and mix them to suit his particular
soil. In any case, it is OF the first i'm
portance that the land on which the
potatoes are to be raised should con-
tain potash in considerable quantity.
Ii kainit is applied the absence of
potash will be made good. The lack
of this ingredient is supposed to be
the main cause of much of the disease
that has wrought such havoc in the
potato crops OF late years. A liberal
supply of nitrogenous substances must
also be provided, if the soil is deficient
in nitrogen.
The work of preparing the seed re.
quires the closest care. Cutting should
be done several days before planting
takes place, and done only by people
who know how to do 1T. It is not the
simple job it appears to be. We have
often seen the work of cutting intrust-
ed to the young, inexperienced hands,
which is certainly very unwise, since
so much depends on the condition
and vitality of the parent seed. AS to
the mode of cutting there is great
diversity of practice. Many growers
prefer to use small tubers, and simply
pick out all the eyes save one.
The weight of testimony, however,
seems to favor the use of large tubers
only. The immediate crop is almost
always better, and there is less likeli-
hood of subsequent deterioration of
the size and quality OF the potatoes.
If the tuber is cut into two or more
sets it is a good plan to spread them
out on a dry floor, and in quantity
of dry mold or ashes. This lessons
the danger of their rotting, after
coming in contact with the manure in
the drill, while it encourages sprouting
or early growth.
