One day last autumn an old wem-

UP firewood in the woods adjoining
Mar Lodge, became aware of lady,
quite young, as she thought, beck
oning her to approach. With true
Scottish indifference she, however,

ness was the first to commence the
conversation by the somewhat char.
acteristic inquiry:
DO you think look like grand

was the old woman's reply, pointing
to the duchess Of Fife, who at that
moment joined her mother. The
princess, smiling at this artless tri-
butte to her still wonderfully youth
full appearance, after a little further
conversation, took out her purse and
offered piece of silver to the old
woman. This was gladly accepted,
for Mrs. McB., although widely
known in Braemar as decent old
body, is not abundantly blessed with
this worlds goods. But, alas, when
she essayed to put away the coin
the pocket, whichproved refractory,
as pockets will, had twisted around
somehow, and in fact could not be

With charming courtesy the
princess assisted her humble ac-

STRAUSS AND MS DOC.
The Waltz King and His Feminine
Admirers in Boston.

The Waltz King and His Feminine
Admirers in Boston.
This Strauss jubilee, Z said a New
York impressario, reminds me Of
an incidentof the visit OF the great
composer 70 Boston ut the time Of
the Gilmore jubilee, which ] do not
remember to have ever seen in print.
Al that time Johann was in the full
blaze Of his glory, and the Blue
Danube waltzes were as well known
in this country as Yankee Doodle,
and SO when the composer was
found TO be a handsome, dapper lit
tie man with lovely eyes and a mass
OF wavy hair that was almost as ex-
trayagantiy long as Paderewski's,
the Boston musical women went
wild over him. He was courted and
caressed and feted and followed un.
ill ii is a wonder his head hair and
all-was not turned. But Strauss
had too much good business tact to
lose control of himself, and he ac-
cepted everything -civility and com
pliments-with smile that was as
comprehensive as IT was stereo-
typed.
STRAUSS was great dog fancier
at that time and was accompanied
by q magnificent black retriever.
Toward the last Of the great concert
days some enthusiastic young wom-
an sprung the idea of getting lock
OF Strauss hair for her locket-
lockets were worn by everybody, in
those days, you remember. The
fashion grew into a fad and from a
fad blazed up to fury, and with his
comprehensive smile Johann prom
Used every applicant memento.
And in due time the locks were dis
tributed - how many hundred of
them do not know-each one ac-
companied by the compliments of
the waltz king. Some Stats
teal cuss said that enough hair had
been cut off and distributed to make
Strauss look as though he had been
sandpapered. Yetwhen heleft Bos-
ton for New York his locks were as
bushy and profuse as ever. 1t was
remarked, however, that when
Johann's beautiful black-haired dog
was put into the baggage car the
poor creature looked like shorn
poodle. p Philadelphia Press.

Friction Of the Grains.
One Of tho most CURIOUS and unae-
countabie Of the natural phenomena
is that Of singing, barking pr

queer noises from the sands Of tie
seashore has been known for ages, I
but the first scientific investigation
in that line in America was made BY.
the coast survey corps within the
last ten years, when it found that
singing sand could be found in TWEEN
ty-six different places along the At
lantic, Pacific and gulf coasts. One
OF the most remarkable as well as
the largest and best known banks 81
singing sand in the United States rs
that on the beach at Manchester,
Mass, where, for a distance Of about
one-fifth OF mile, the sand gives
forth distinct sound when walk ed,
upon or even II stirred with cane
or the finger. Prof. julien, Of Do
lumbus college. who has given the
subject OF sonorous sands mulshI
study, says: Singing sands mhy.
occur in comparatively small patches
in the midst Of the ordinary sea
shore sand, butalways between the
limit Of high andow tide. The sarRe
sand does not produce sounds at all
seasons, nor are the sounds uniform
ly the same day by day. Another
popularity is this: 1t will not give
forth sounds when wet. $50 The
theory concerning singing sands is
this: The sound is produced by fric-
ton between the angular particles,
and the conditions necessary, pdr-
feet dryness and uniformity in size
of grain as well as perfect freedom
from dust"
Prof. G. Fl. Bolton, of Trinity cpl
lege, Hartford, Conn, who made a
trip to the Sandwich islands in The
summer of 1890 for the sole PURPOSE
Of examining the sonorous sands of
that country says: = : 1.-THE
sonorous properties of singing sand
are due to pellicles or films of air or
gas deposited or condensed upon the
surfaces OF the sand grains during
gradual evaporation. By virtue of
these films the sand grains become
separated by elastic cushions of c3n-
densed gases, capable of consideFa-
BILE vibration. The extent Of THOSE
vibrations and the volume and pitch
of the sound also depend much on the
size and shape of the sand grains

SXIY.M!aK FOR CALVES.

W. W H., West Bend, Wis, writes:
Il would like YOU to give me some in
formation as to how much Sc e,arator milk
to give calf at different ages and the same
for linseed meal
1t depends somewhat, Of course, on the
size and digestive capacity Of the calf
One thing should be borne in mind-it is
better to feel Il little too small quantity
than too much. If too much is fed there
is danger of producing scours, which
should by all mctus DC ayoide |.

to siNteea pollls per day, in two-or bet

to douhlc that amount III :, week, and in
sixty days up To one pouaI per day, and
the slI.i.--4lllk up to cighteel or twenty
pounds if one has Il pleltifdl supply
1t has been my practice TO feed skim
milk till the calf is six or eight months
old, and it makes il strong, healthy and
rapid growth without making the calf too
fat and beefy. This is very important i'll
calves which are intended for the dairy
If skim-milk is not pleatiful enough the
calf will do very we'll without it after four

carly-cut clovet nay and oats or middlings,

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THE FIRST FIRE on THE HEARTH.

What a JOY we all find in it. How we
like to collect the sticks for that fire, if we
are where sticks are to be collected: how
we like to oversee its building: how all of
us have advice to offer and instruction to
give; how we must all lay on our especial
contribution; how favored is the one who
may touch off the flame at last. If we are
by the sea, we have gathered drift
for it this many a day, and have dried it
in the hot noon suns for this very even
ing's blaze, when it shall fill the room with
flames of emerald and ruby, sapphire and
Spanish topaz, and we shall hear in its
singing over dropping coal and ash, in its
roaring up the chimney, the sound of storm
and rushing way e in the midst of safety,
an | point our pleasure with the tragedy of
the last sigh and smothered cry of drown
ing sailors. And we sit and tell tales of
horr, and shipwreck and ghosty visitant
till the flame falls and leaves us chill as
the ghosts that have trailed their garments
by. And if it is in the countryside we
sojourn, then what equal wonders we see
in the dear blaze as il sends out its warmth
and cheer on the cool morning air, or on
the evening gloom when the heavy dews
warn Us all indoors, For there are burn
ing all the spices and fragrance and sun
shine and colors condelsel from the hot
months.
We look at it lustres much as those old
voyagers might have looked at the splen-
did conflagration when their ships were
burning behind them: we well might Won
de- at ourselves that we can look at it so
lightly, for here are our oars and sails and
paddles burning, our alrenstocks and
buckboards, our long evening strolls, our
days in the heart of the wood, our double
handed abundance of flowers. But we
know it is only because we know we are
going forward to new pleasures that we
can feed and face the flames so gladly
And if we have gone back to the city, and
it is there that we have put the blaze to-
gcthei on the little hearth in the back par
lor, or on the big one in the big hall, then
ii is like hilidinga ire upon an altar, it is

That the hearth may not be bare in any

And as we watch the flames shine and
soar and flash up the chimney and disap-
pear among. the eternal stars, we know it
is all a mirror OF the transformations of
life and death, and 50 find new sacred
ness in the blaze that is the "2,.i and sign
