This fine Lester Walack play. with all
its picturesque effects. as presented at the
Grove-street Theater, is proving strong
attraction. The management with its ac-
customed liberaliy, gives much for little.
and has left nothing und0ne that could add
TO the successful rendition OF the play. The
scenic effects are tasty and appropriate.
while the properties" and interior furnish
ings are all that could be desired. Every
little detail has received careful attention
and the result Is a very pTaiseworthy and
artistic performance. The Elliot Gray of
Mr.. N0rval McGTegor is a very pleasing and
con nscientious effort. rejecting much credit
on the young gentleman for his painstaking
portrayal of the part. Mr.. holden, as Miles
McKenna. proves himself once more deep
dyed villain-at least in his assumption OF
the burly gipsy's character. Mr.. Thayer
looked and acted the part Of Colonel
can. The Mathew Leigh of Mr.. Chap
man was not quite up 10 the standard OF
a cultivated and finished gentleman,
but, nevertheless, in the speech where he
defends the medical profession he received
q hearty round OF well-merited applause.
Burberry kobb, the fox-hunting. squire.
was humorousiy interpreted by Mr.. Bel
mour Miss Kate Dalgleish, who, by the
way, is not stranger to our theater- going
public, appeared as Rosa Leigh, and was
received heartily and with an abundance Of
flowers. Miss Dalgleish is petite aud pretty,
and every way suited to the character of
Rosa, which she invested with delicious
sweetness and charming naiyete. Miss
Stockmeyer's Lady Florence lacked in
lady-like department and cultivation of
speech so necessary in highbred English
woman, but she spoke her lines aud ac-
Quilted herself credtably. Miss Blanc, as
Thabitha Stork was fairly good, but she
can do better. The rest of the characters
were we'll rendered. Next week "Chispa"
will be produced with entirely new scenery
and effects. The management OF the Grove
has catered well to crafty the public taste,
both in the selection of plays and players,
and their conscientious efforts are brin ing
very substantial result.

RAISING TURKEYS.
A Good Way for Women to Make a Little
Money of Their Own.

Various departments of poultry rails.
ing will be found suitable employment
for ONE Turkey raising is es.
pecially remunerative and Is not at all
difficult to manage. Any woman may
keep a few turkeys, and if not desira-
able to have the old ones, eggs may be
procured and set under hens.
To be successful the best breeds
should be used, II the turkeys are
kept, the hens should be large, and II
two or three years old it is best. The
standard breeds are the bronze, white
INT black Holland and Narraganset.
They should be mated early in
the spring. A turkey hen, by being
kept up, may be made to lay wherever
desired.
When the danger of chilly weather
is over, eggs may be left in the nest. A
turkey hen can cover eighteen or TWEEN.
ty eggs. Many turkey raisers set tur-
key eggs under chicken hens. When
the little turkeys come out, they should
not be disturbed or fed for at least
twenty-four hours, when they should
be placed in a coop. The first food
given them should be hard boiled eggs
chopped, curds and bread crumbs
soaked in milk. A very little cooked
meat may be given them. Onion tops,
lettuce, cold rice and cooked meal
can be given them in a few days;
a little black pepper added to their
food will be found beneficial. Very
frequent feeding is necessary, six or
eight times a day is not too often.
Upon regularity in this depends more
than anything else the success Of tur.
key raising.
Young turkeys must be kept dry and
comfortable for the first eight weeks
They should never be exposed to cold
or dampness and should always be pro.
vided with good coops. After they arc
feathered and have thrown out the red
on their heads, they are very hardy,
and may be allowed unlimited range.
To have turkeys fat for the early mar.
ket, they should be penned from the
beginning and well fed on cooked food
and grain. Eliza R. Parker, in Home.

The origin and the growth Of the for
mcr papal dominion are as worldly as
of any other state. Until the middle of
the eighth century the popcs were sub
jects OF the Roman emperor. They ac-
CURED large estates by donations and
inheritance, over which, with the dc.
cline OF the empire, they gradually cx.
ercised rights OF government. But even
when Pepin and Charlemagnc endowed
the Roman sec with possessions torn
from the Langobards, these were not
considered as its property, but as a
great Episcopal flef, such as existed in
the Germanic countries of that time.
With Gregory VII, the great struggle
between the papacy and the empire be.
gan, and it was Innocent III. who first
established al independent government
in the estate of the church. The most
energetic representatives of that tend
cncy were Alexander VI. and Julius H.,
who enlarged the dominion by force
and cunning. Sixtus V. and Plus V. re.
organized the administration of the &C.
clesiastical state, and thus founded the
papal monarchy.-Forum.

LEGENDS OF LEAP YEAR.
February 30 Has Always Reen Reokoned =
Very Vnluckv Day.

February 30 Has Always Been Reckoned =
Very Unlucky Day.
The advent of leap year and the
break in the regular order Of days make
anything in regard to the '~bissextile''
or leap year of more than ordinary
interest Leap year has always been
regarded with awe and superstition by
the people of all countries The peas
antry of England affirm that peas and
beans grow the wrong way in their
pods-that is, the seed arc set the
wrong way to what they are in the or
binary years. In Belgium the rural
folks maintain that leap year is not
only unpropitious for all farming oper-
%ations, but throughout the year the
young of the domestic animals will not
thrive as at other times.
A siiailar fatality, they .argue, ex-
tends TO every kind of grass and plant,
which becomes stunted or is blighted
before attaining its normal size. The
same peculiar IDEAS prevail in Russia
Turkey, Tartary, India and Ara
bia. The Russian proverh says:
"lf St Cassian February 29)
looks on n COW she withcrs."
In Arabia they say: "As weak as a bis
seXtile camel" and in Turkey and Tar
tary they call all hunchbacks, dwarfs
and other deformed men, women and
children 'leap-ycar freaks but there
are exceptions to this us well as all
other rules, for we find that in Italy,
Greece and Sicily the rural proverb
says, referring to leap-year; plant
much corn and zine; it's (the year, good
for bread and wine"
The ancient Roman considered Feb
ruary 20 a most critical season, always
reckoning it among the unlucky days.
That this belief has not by any means
lost ground is evidenced by a deep
rooted dislike parents have to a child
being born on lcap-day, it being a pop
ular notion that to come into the world
at such an odd time is obnoxious as sig
nifying the baby's speedy exit. A va
riety of this superstition exists in Tus-
cany, and, according to a piece of folk
lore of that country, when q child is
born on leap-day either it or its mother
will die before the end of the year.
Hampson, in his ''Medii QIvi Kalen-
darium," quotes the following from an
old Saxon treatise: "Somc assert that
the bisseytus ~or,leap-day comes through
this, that Joshua prayed to God that
the u might stand still for one days
that he might sweep the heather
from the land. 1t is true that the sun
did stand still, but the bisscxtus is not
through this, rs some do think st

much more than 4 Or an inch thick there
will be likely to be numerous brace
combs between the super and brood
frames. The latter should have thick
top bars and spaced properly in the
hive. If more convenient, the cross
bars can be run lengthwise of super.
l prefer to have the sections parallel
with the brood frames, but If more
convenient for them to be cross
wise, / should not hesitate to have
them that way. 1t is a difficult job to
make a super the proper size to hold a
certain number of sections, and have
them fit as tight as they should. To
overcome this difficulty l use the
follower" which is a board just as
wide as the sections are deep, and the
proper length to fit inside of the super
nicely. 1t is placed against the side Of
the sections, and a wedge driven be.
tween it and the side Of the super.
This keys the sections together tightly
and prevents the bees from propolizing
them so much. All the material for
tbs super is found in the farmers
workshop, and it is easily made.
Fig. 2 is a wide frame, and is an ex.
celent arrangement to keep the outside
surface of sections clean. 1t is also
very convenient for using separators,
as they can be tackled on the side, and
they are always permanent, and are not
likely to be getting lost. 1t is also
convenient for contracting the supers,

DECLINE OF THE CONDUCTOR,

cent Parsonage,

"The leveling tendencies Of our day,"
remarked the general manager with a
sigh, ''are breaking down all our old
idols. In my day the conductor was
the great man on the railroad. When l
was first raised to be superintendent
every passenger conductor on the road
looked down upon..me because l had only
been a master mechanic before. The
way that some of these conductors
would walk out of the office, glance at
the train, and'signal the engineer was q
sight to behold. All the small bows
looked upon the conductor as one hav-

and dressed in the best broadcloth and
walked about as if the earth belonged
to him. One day he walked into the

People usually imagine that their

You see, as Q matter Of fact, there
are blood-vessels and nerves inside the
bones Just as there are outside. Any.
one who has purchased a beefsteak at
the market knows about the marrow
in the bone. It is the same with other
animals than the bullock, including
human beings. Through the marrow
run the nerves and blood-vessels, en-.

for yourself any time by examining a

SONG OF YOUTH AND AGE.

When on the dimpled cheek Of youth
Hcalth's blooming roses blow;
When songs Of rapture, hope and truth
From lips OF beauty flow;
When youthful feet right gayiy bound
Where thorn nor tare appears,
How ioyously the days so round,
The weeks, the months, the years.
The youth heholds with fearless eye
The lofty hill OF fame,
And hopes upon its summit high
Ere long 10 carve his name.
Joy thrills his heart; in every sound
Fame's "bugle-call" he hears,
And merrily the days go round,
The weeks, the months, the yearsi
The lady of his love must provo
AQuecn of beauty rare;
No vain coquette, but wise in love,
And true as she is fair.
Amid the tender stars at night
He sees her dear eyes shine,
As, with q trusting, fond delight,
He worships at her shrinel
When IN the furrowed cheek Of age
Cares hollow wrinkles show,
The old man turns his life's last page
With trembling hand and slow.
Dark lower the skies: in every sound
Deaths mournful dirge he hears;
And YEARLY the days go round,
The weeks, the months, the yearsl
The old man sees through t%car-blurre,
eye
The lofty hill OF fame,
Where cherished hopes in ruin lie,
Where none may mark his name.
One little, lonely, nameless mound
At every step appears.
AS mournfully the days go round,
The weeks, the months, the yearsl
The lady Of his love, alasl
Hath closed her gentle eyes,
With but one tiny tuft Of grass
To show him where she lies.

There are many different kinds Of

separators, or a single crate to hold the

If the standard section, 4Ax44 inches
