Memories of Fanny kemble.

The late Fanny kemble Is remem-
bered by old residents of German
town and Philadelphia as superb
horsewoman. She had fiery tenn
per, which matched that OF her hus-
band, Pierce Butler, and speedily
brought about what is still one OF the
most noted of divorce trials reported
in the law books. IN her youth she
was remarkably beautiful, and in the
role OF Juliet she was the personifi-
cation Of dazzling loneliness. She
was noted for the kecnness OF her
wit, even in the days Of her old age.
Once when an impairment street
lounger stepped up to her while she
was looking in the window of brio
a-brac store, and said, care you
fond OF antiquitiesy" Mrs. Kemble
quickly unpinned her veil, and turn
ing on the man her aged face-shc

Mice That Subsist on SCORPIONS,

elevates this in the r. and goes in

A Forgotten Breed OF row"

T. was not ever a quarter OF a CEN
turv ago that the Sicilian fowle we're
attracting considerable attention IN
the country, and many breeders OF
fine and practical poultry were using
them for their daily work writes
Annie c. Webster in Rural Canadian.
Rut since then the breed has gradually
for some reasons, dwindled in popular
estimation, and it is quite rarely that
one sees full blooded flock now. But
on account of the practical value OF
the breed they should be revived, ana
general egg-raisers would lind 1t TO
their ADVANTAGE. 1t is not on account
of their fancy points that they deserve
more attention to-day but on account
Of their practical everyday laying

attention and pleasant surroundings
the old Siclians will yield more eggs

Laghorns, Wyandottes, Langsbans
Plymouth Rocks, Minorcas or Bun
Cochins. This is strong statement
to make, but from all present and past
accounts of this breed they have
always been very prolific layers, and
that ia regarded as their chief point OF
excellence. The pullets begin laying
from five to six months, not quite as
early usually as the Leghorns. but at
a good early period in their lives
They continue to lay with great regu'
]arity, and especially in winter DO
they pay their way well by PROCEEDING
