Voices of Hens.

"Hens," says B. f. Taylor, "are vocal
but not musical, unless one has an ear
for fling and saving. Their language
is too rich in consonants; it is decidedly
Saxon and without the softening accents
of the Norman French. The call of
something found is quite as intelligi-
bic as the town crier with his bell. The
defiant voice of the cock is challenge
in honest vernacular, and his triumph
ant crow is a hurrah in plain English.
The announcement of an egg laid Is ex-
pressive if not eloquent. The mothers
cluck, cluck is veritable baby talk, and
the yeep, eep, eep of the little chicks de-
notes happiness at home"
How soon these little fellows learn
the cluck, cluck of the mother warning
them that the robber hawk is soaring
watchfully above, seeking whom he
may deyour.
The blue jay hates yet breads the
hawk, and frequently insults it by fol-
lowing and initiating its notes so ex-
actly as to deceive those well acquainted
with both.-Troy Times.

A particularly beautiful wild flower
from the Old World, now getting CON-
mon In New England and giving pleas
ure TO the lover of wild flower scenery,
is the blue vetch, vicia cracca. Twas
particularly glad to see il come of con-
Queror in q battle with the well known
couch grass. which usually acts the
Goliath among other vegetation. 1t
usually crowds cut everything, and our
Pennsylvania farmer regards il as one
of his worst enemies.
On the seacoasts of New England,
however, the yield of this grass Is SIM
ply enormous, and the agriculturist en-
ploys it largely for hay. Its roots are
annoying to the more southern farmer,
as every little piece grows. 1t can never
be got rid of. But here, where the
same field is moved for an indefinite
number of years, it is of no consequence
how the roots hold on. The more tena-
cious the better. But 1t is such bold
warrior among vegetation that nothing
can grow where it grows, aud q field OF
couch grass looks more like field of
some light kind of wheat under careful
farmers hands.
Timothy grass here will not stand the
attacks. Battalions of weeds contest
the field with it. Couch grass alone
sends forth defiance. But the blue
vetch is masterpiece. 1t grows mp
with the grass and at length overtops it,
and forms beautiful blue patches over
the whole field, looking like bright
cerulean lakes over gray arid plain.
Fortunately the farmer does not mind,
as it is as agreeable to the cattle as the
grass. 1t is one of those rare instances
where great beauty and utility go hand
in hand together, and strike up truly
happy marriage. ge.-Thomas Meehan i'll

The Chinese Cuisine.

I'm passing through Chinese towns" "
said the Rev. A. L. Wright, of Milwau-
kee, to the writer, ''the astenishingly
large number of cookshops interests
and attracts the foreign passer by. Ones
curiosity is often aroused to know the
ingredients of the messes he sees being
concocted These places are unpleas-
antly pressed upon the pedestrian, for
the front is invariably open to the street,
and in order TO tempt customers by the
sight and smell of viands the cook pre-
pares his dishes over charcoal fire in
full view, and sets samples of his ma
terials and his bill of fare out on show
board before him. Tables and stools
are placed in the rear, and here the hun
cry may banquet.
'sThe Frenchman is not the only one
who has his frogs legs and snail soup,
for the Celestial, too, revels in these
dainties and many more stranger than
these. Snakes and eels alike know the
fryingpan, and when skinned and
dressed appear very much alike. Many
varieties of nonpoisonous snakes are
used for food. Silkworm grubs are
regarded as choice morsel and are
stewed in lard and eaten as a relish, and
u multitude of other insects are deemed
edible. Chicago Inter Ocean.

Probably there are no meadows in the
world so good as those in England or so
old. Yet from the early Anglo-Saxon
times old meadow has been distinguished
from pastures" and has always been
scarce. Two-thirds of what is now es-
tablished meadow land still shows the
marks Of ridge and furrow, and from
the great time required to make a
meadow-ten years at least ON the best
land, hundred ON the worst-men have
always been reluctant to break up old
pasture.
The ancient meadows, with their great
trees and close, rich turf, are the sole
portion of the earth's surface which
modern agriculture respects and leaves
in peace. Hence the excellence Of the
meadows of England and the envy Of
the American. .-London Spectator.

She Purchased Then.

She wasn't exactly old, but the dis
eliminating observer could see that she
hadn't seen the inside of q schoolroom
for at least ten years. The shopman
threw down piece after piece OF fieecy
white material before her critical eyes,
but none of them seemed to claim her
unreserved admiration. She was taking
great deal Of his time and the silk
counter was crowded, so he decided to
play his trump card.

Some rather fine distinctions are
drawn in the matter Of customs de-
cisions by the treasury department. A
citizen of Detroit went over to Canada
and bought pair of trousers, which he
wore home. The customs officers taxed
him 81 go duty on the new pantaloons.
He applied to the treasury department
for rebate. and in his letter said, II
fancied those pantaloons and bought
them"
When he used the word "fancied" he
gave his case away. Assistant Secre,
tary Crounse informed him that the Nc
Kinley law admits free Of duty articles
Of clothing which are a necessity"
but as the claimant himself admits that
he bought the pantaloons because he
"fancied" them it stands to reason that
they were not an article Of necessity.
Therefore he must pay duty. Washing

William Carson was out on one OF the
tugs one week ago Saturday, and with
the crew of the tug was engaged In TAX
ing halibut on the banks about three
miles west of the bar. After catching a
40-pound halibut, several smaller ones
and few soles, Mr.. Carson hooked
something that walked" away with his
line in steady manner. He called for
assistance, and with the captain and one
of the tugs crew the result was tho
same, the line steadily walking away
from the three of them. A turn was then
taken around one of the bits, when, IA
the strain increased, 1t was seen that the
tug was swinging to the strain, and the
line at the same time appeared TO be-
moving toward the surface.
Judge of the surprise of Mr.. Carson
when whale about forty feet long came
to the surface and blew about 200 feet
from the tug, with the line fastened to
one of his fiukes. With sudden lurch
of the tug the line parted near the bit to
which it was fastened and went flying
through the air in the direction Of the
whale. The whale staid close around
the tug for a couple of hours, aud
was struck with chunks of coal and
shot at, to which he paid no attention
whatever.
After Captain Nelson had stuck him
and lost his line also, the tug steamed
couple of miles farther out to get away
from him, as, besides getting away with
the lines, he had so disturbed the fish
that they would not bite.-Humboldt

The worst feature of tariff protection
is that the schemers who are to be bene-
fited are called in by the ways and
means corr nittee and consulted as to
the amoun and kind of taxes they want

do not get any benefit have to pay the

AS AMY ROBSART.
Miss Wainwright Makes a De-
cided Hit at the Metropolitan.

Miss Wainwright Makes a De-
cided Hit at the Metropolitan.
Miss Marie Wainwright at the Metro
politan opera house last evening pre-
scented her gorgeous production OF the
highly romantic and historical drama.
Amy Robsart," to one. of the most
fashionable and apprecMtive audiences
ever assembled within its walls.
The drama presents magnificent
scope to woman placed as Amy Rob-
sart." and Miss Wainwright is quite
able for the task. Nature has been most
lavish to Miss wainwright in all the
gifts of form, face and movement, and
her beautifully clear voice, distinct
enumeration and inciSiYe utterance
cause even her fainteSt tones TO pene-
trate. She has devoted herself with
singular persiStency to the presentation
OF the highest class of plays, and
her efforts have been well re-
Warded by the results attained.
Miss Wainwright must be accorded
a fine sense of the character OF Amy.
RObsart. a gentlenesS and grace, low
ing tenderness, simplicity and sincerity
that were her strength through many
day OF bitter waiting and adversely.
Her devotion for leicester was touciI-
ing. The scenes before the gates OF
Kenilworth was beautiful piece Of
dramatic work. Amy's pleading first
with TresiIan and then with the queen
herself, the gentle, Inspiring devotion
without reproach or doubt or fear. the
sense of burning wrong, unrighted, the
fretful. tremulous peril of an appeal for
justice to the throne when, in spite OF
Elizabeth'S protest and promises, justice
was not always to be procured, all dis
closed SO pure and so clear a conception
of the oppressed and suffering woman
that there seemed little left to make the
scene more impressive.
Those who saw it will not soon forget
the piteouS spectacle of the heartbroken
wife, with hating steps. ascending to
the gray old gates OF krnllWorth to
comfort the man in whose faith she was
still mistaken, and with the queen to
Judge between them. Her stirring emo
ton at the moment of his appearance
was the kind that brings the blush to
the cheek of maidenhood, or 1.-The hurt
that honor feels" when the proudeSt and
purest of life's exalted principles are
ruthlessly assailed.
There was 10 stOrming of passion in
Miss Wainwright's work. Throughout
she was devoted, quiet, earnest. loving
wife. without tumult in her passion.
William Ingersoll was the Earl of
Leicester, and handsome earl at that,
and acted with much effectiveness and
discretion, being equal to the occasion
at all times.
The Richard Varney of Barton Hill
was ali excellent and delightful piece of
work, and the Queen Elizabeth of
Blanche Walsh was much appreciated,
as was the Janet Forster of Miss Kate
Blancke.
The scenery was charming and de-
light to the eye. Among the bits OF
painting that will be remembered are
''Amy's Apartment in Cumror Place" by
Marston in act first. THE audiance

act second, and "Kenilworth Castle" in

ELMO PARK ASSIGNS.
President Moore Says That tn
Trouble Is ONLY Temnorapy.

President, Moore Says That the
Trouble Is Only Temporary. 2
The Elmo Park company has made a.
general assignment by James Moore, its3
president, and John E. Stryker. secreI
tary, for the benefit of creditors WILD
lam p. Jewett is named as assignee, andE
has accepted the trust. -
President Moore, interviewed, exg.
planned the cause of the assignment in
this way: 1.-The property consists of
$50 acres at Lake Elmo, purchased sew
eral years ago for about 300, 000.2 The
conlpany's indebtedness is largely to the
st. Paul Trust company, as trustee for
the bondholders. As the property was
producing no revenue, the company has
not been able to pay interest on out
standing bonds. AS the entire tract was
covered in the trust mortgage securing
said bonds, there were no resources upon
which the company could realize funds
to meet its obligations. 1t was therefore
thought best by all the stockholders
! to make the assignment. to protect all
Interests. soltbat the property might be
sold in order to pay off its debts and
wind up the affairs of the corporation.
AS the amount Of property is ample
there is no possibility of loss to anyone
except to the stockholders"
I Mr. Moore considered that the assign
ment was only of a temporary nature,
and would greatly expedite the settle
ment of several veXed questions

President Moore Explains
That the Trouble Is Only

Jim Nugent. the license inspector, is
not the only member of the st. Paul
police force who has made an honorable
record and would be able to retire on a
pension in few months, but who are
in danger of being cut off by the new

Capt. Lowell, of the Rondo street sta
ton, joined the force Sept. Is. 1872, and

Lieut.. Dennis Murphy joined Sept Is,
1872, and will be twenty years on the force
inside of three months. But the latter
is not looking for pension. He is in
the prime of manhood and is capable
officer, whose experience fits him for
any position in the line of police duty.
Henry Calvin, who is now assigned to
timer of the police force. Officer Gal
win has done duty for thirty-six years.
He joined on July 1, 1856, and has
hardly lost a day In all these years..
Next TO Officer Calvin is Lieut.. Morgan,
tue senior lieutenant at central station.

sions are that the officers must be mem
berS of the force, in good standing, for
twenty years and be over fifty years of
age. 80
