On one side of the memorial is:
E: ANNETTE HAWLEY,
: Wife of John Brougham,
: Born March II, 1917,
-: Died May 3, 1870.

John Brougham was not only good
actor and good author, but he was wit
in the true sense of the word. HIS "Poca-
hontas" is one of the wittiest plays ever
written. Born in the Green Isle, he was
naturally lively and companionable. He
tried management many times, but his
efforts always resulted in failure. At one
time he was lessee Of the Old Bowery
theater, after he had failed with
Brougham's Lyceum.
He began his career in this country at
the Park theater on October 4, 1912, as
O'Callaghan in His Last Legs" and he
acted until short period before his death.
Time dealt lightly with him, and his
laugh was as hearty and his merriment as
contagious at 65 as it was when he first
greeted the New York public"

ter was not. His PRESERVATION OF the hero
in 'Rosedale" was one of the great attrac-
tions OF the day.
And he sleeps in an unnamed grave-so
far as any except his family knows.
Harry Montague, his real name was
Mann, was also handsome man. Women
raved about him, and men admired him.
He was the fad for months. He sleeps to-
day in grave in the Wallack plot beside
his friend Lester. The SPOT is covered by
a handsome memorial of lignt-colored
granite in the shape of a mound, on top OF
which are cut these words:

Over on the other side of the cemetery,
on Battle Hill, from which the bay and
the city can be viewed, sleeps Barney Will
iiams, almost the first actor in the line of
Irish comedy. His monument is a rich
and costly one, of the Gothic order. 1t is
adorned with marble bust of the come
dian; an excellent likeness it is, too. On
the base of the monument is the name

name of Barney Williams. This plot is
kept in splendid order by Mrs. Williams,
who is still handsome woman whose
snowy hair seems like crown upon her
shapely head.
Among the other actors of period long
passed away are Harry Placide and
William Rufus Blake. both comedians of

The Horses Knew the Tune.

A relation of mine, who has spent
many years in India, remembers we'll
how, when living in Lucknow and en-
Joying the evening drive with other
English residents in the Indian city, the
carriage horses would toss their heads
and paw the ground impatiently when
the first notes of "God Save the Queen"
were played by the military band every
evening. It was the last tune played,
the signal for dispersion.
A skeptic-or, perhaps, more than one
having insisted that the horses only
knew the tune because it was always
played last, and they were able to calcu-
late time, the experiment was tried of
playing "God Save the Queen" in the
middle, instead of at the end of the
evening. Instantly there was the same
excitement in the horses standing round
'@the course" The same impatient toss
ing of the head and prancing of the feet,
the same general stampede and eager
ness to start homeward
No one could any longer doubt that
they knew and recognized the air; in
fact, that they could tell one tune from
another.-London Spectator

Cheapest Feeding Materials.

Linsced cake is the staple food with
many farmers. 1t is not improbable
that this article will advance beyond a
reasonable price, and the farmer should
cast about to see if there is not some
food which can be bought so as to pay
him better. A good linseed cake is the
best food for general purposes, because
it contains fair proportion of the diff
ferent forms of feeding matter that ami
mails require, and one Of its great feat
ures is the oil, substance not strongly
represented in grain. An English au-
thority explains that it is only because
the feeding constituents are we'll bal
anced that it is preferred to other foods,
and if other foods are mixed SO as to
possess the same properties equally good
results are obtained. The oil is the
chief difficulty, but that may be easily
arranged by buying the inseed instead
of linseed cake, for then the whole of the
oil is obtained. Linseed contains about
four times as much oil as linseed cake.
SO If in making a mixture we bear this
point in mind, the most difficult portion
of the problem will be solved. Of course
the linseed must be crushed or boiled.
To supply the albuminoid matter which
is found in the cake we have to turn to
the pulse crops-beans, peas, lentils,
maize ard barley.

A Triumph of Civilization,

There is a large farmer near me, a
clever and successful man in his way
who married (as men sometimes do) a
foolish wife. His daughters are placed
at an expensive school in Brighton, and
are carefully debarred by their mother
from all acquaintance. not only with
farmwork and housework, but with such
elementary feminine knowledge as the
simplest servantmaid can enjoy. They
may not make or mend their own clothes:
they may not use the needle.
81 am happy to say" their proud
mother said lately to a lady: 81 am
happy to say, ma'am, that my daughters
cannot even sew" But they can play
the piano-after fashion-they have q
smattering of French, they could and
would Gf they were asked) go to garden
parties in evening dress. So greatly has
civilization triumphed in their case

Ice Made by Natural Gas.

An inventor in Buffalo has devised a
process for making ice by utilizing the
intense cold created by the expansion of
natural gas when liberated from the
high pressure at which it issues from
the wells. In the experimental plant
the gas is used at its initial pressure, or
from $50 to 200 pounds to drive a small
engine. After use in the engine the gas
exhausts into closed box, and the ex-
pansion generates sufficient cold to form
slabs of ice three inches thick to the
amount of three-quarters of ton in a
day. 1t is claimed that the principle
can be applied economically on large
scale.-New York Telegram

Poultry Points.

After burning sulphur in the poultry
house tsome people use it as remedy
for roup and lice) do not let the chickens
out into rain or mist. They will catch
cold then very easily, the same as per-
son who has been taking sulphur.
Don't feed dry oats; scald them well
first.
If you want to get eggs, keep the hens
from ever getting chilled. This is the
biggest secret of the egg business.
Don't give food or drink to fowl for
at least twelve hours before killing it.
Ground bone is not only excellent to
prevent leg weakness and for the gen.
eral health, but it encourages egg pro-
duction immensely.
At the present season the dusting box
serves its most valuable purposes.
Whole wheat is fine egg food, but too
much of it may cause looseness of the
bowels.
Scaly legged fowls are disgrace to
any yard. for they are generally caused
by neglect and are easily cured.
If you have birds whose combs frost
readily apply a little glycerin to them
when the weather is unusually cold.

The object in sailing beef is to get it
just salt enough to preserve it, and not
SO salt as to make it hard and dry when
cooked. The following is receipt much
used-Cover the meat for twelve hours
with brine scarcely strong enough to
float an egg. Then take it out and wash
it in cold water, and press it well with
the hands and squeeze out all the blood
you can before salting it down Then
throw the bloody brine away. Now
make new pickle, and for 100 pounds
OF beef. or in the same proportions for
other quantities, dissolve six pounds of
salt, two pounds of sugar and two ounces
OF saltpeter in water enough to cover
the meat when weighted down: skim it
well before pouring it on, and whenever
scum arises on it afterward. indicating
the beginning Of fermentation, scald it,
skim it and pour it back when cold.

money to spend is spreading in various

held undisputed sway, but now there are
souvenir bracelets, souvenir napkin

getting up new and novel designs, and
each jewelry store of any importance
has its souvenir department. Spoons of
course are still in the greatest demand.

who is an ardent collector of souvenirs,
is the proud possessor of nearly 100
spoons, each representing city or VII
