Rubinstein in l. ndon. From the Pail Mall Ruduet

My impression of Joachim as hav- Ing the worst hat in London had it's pendant writes correspondent, "in my recollection of Rubinstein as hav- ing the thickest boots. No musician n was ever less of an exquisite. He had no affectations. He wore broadcloth with nap on it of the kind that par sons used fifty years ago, and a soft felt hat, and, notwithstanding this pro- saic setting, looked like Beethoven that had fallen off the side of a teacup.
 He had not, fancy, much humor, but he had great good nature, and once saw it tested. It was during his second visit here, when all London was mad over him. and there was some thing like a Paderewski fever prevalent, and they were fortunate who could hear him play in private. At this party all musical London was assem- bled, and he was one of the first guests asked to play. Every one knows how excited he used to get over the piano, and how fond he was when his work was over the solace of a cigar. So this night he withdrew from the instrument with his host, and the grateful fra grance of weed asserted itself from the little ante-room. whose door was discreetly closed. In due time the hos tess had to call on another guest, and there was some interest to see who could succeed Rubinstein. '
 "She asked MT. Corney Grain. She was almost a bride, new to the ways of London life, but it was often afterward pointed out as evidence of aer savolr faire that she should have called on the one musician in the room whose abso- lute opposition of style made rivalry impossible. I remember Corney Grain sang something about
 Meet me when the lark's asleep,
 Ere Flora fills her dewy cup.
 When festive beetles homeward creep,
 Before the early worm is up.
 "He was sitting with his back to the door, 8 back even then Of commend ing proportions, and gradually the fra grance of that cigar became more and more in evidence. The door opened first little, then a little more. then completely, and at last Rubinstein glided out, with Felix MoscheIes by his side, and stood near the plano de- lighted with what he listened to. < The artists were introduced. remember the evening as we'll as If 1t were last night.

4 POST OFFICE ROBBED.
North woodbury the Last Scene of crl

North Woodbury the Last Scene of Crime. Woodbury, Dec. 17.-Burglars entered the post office and general store of Dr.. H. s. Karrman, at North Woodbury, this morning, and secured $S0 worth of stamps and some general merchandise. The burglars are four in number and are supposed to be four men who have been hanging around town since Fri day. Mrs. Karrman's daughter heard 8 noise in the, store. Mrs. Karrman thought her daughter was mistaken, but a few minutes later she looked out and saw a light in the store. pr. Karrman is now away in Central America, so Mrs. Karrman awoke the hired man, named Porter. He took a gun which, however, lie could not load, and started out to make an investigation. There were two men in the store and two others on the walk in front. Meantime those in the house could see the burg lars at the safe, which was unlocked When the burglars saw Porter they fled.

FIRED TIgO SHOTS.
W. M. Davi. of Derby fired at Paul Krens-
 In of This City.

Tn or his City.
 Derby. Dec. 17.-William M. Davis, an assistant superintendent of the Electric Light company. fired two shots from a pistol at Paul Krenzln of the firm of Moeller & Co.,, on Grand avenue In New Haven. at about half-past ten o'clock yesterday morning. neither of which took effect. Davis claims that Krenzlin had bothered Mrs. Davis ire quently with attentions. Davis Is said to have been In New Haven recently and warned Krenzlin to keep away from 'his house. But evidently he had not needed the warning.
 On Krenzlin's visit Sunday he told Krenzlin to get out, but the latter re- fused and then there was fight, in which Krenzlin was elected.
 AS he fled Davis fired two shots, neither of which took effect. He then took Krenzlin's bicycle and threw 1t into the street.
 Krenzlin Is we'll known here, for he was a clerk in the Ansonia Drug store for several years, and did his counting here also. marrying a Miss Downs of New Haven, who was employed as operator at the telephone exchange.
 Some of Krenzlin's friends said last evening that Davis had been in New Haven and used insulting language to Krenzlin's wife and that Krenzlin came over to see Davis at Derby to make him retract certain things which, as he alleged, Davis had said about his wife and that Davis had then elected him from the house and fired two shots at him. Krenzlin was i'll at his home this evening from nervous pros- tration and had called in his physi- clan.

Women Doctors,

physician the other day in London, asked
whether women doctors had now estab-
llshed themselves in public confidence
and If their patients had quite got over
the idea that they We're risking their
health magnanimously to oblige u fell
low woman. He was answered: "Oh,
yes, all that feeling has quite passed
away. Indeed women as physicians
are treated with absolute confidence.
But with regard to women surgeons a
slight hesitation is still shown. Patients
Will allow woman to diagnose the
most complicated cases, but if there is
ever SO small an operation to be per-
formed they would rather employ a
man to carry out her directions. There
Is reason for this skepticism. Hitherto

Amateur and Professional Drivers.

If gentleman of leisure starts out
to campaign stable of trotters for his
health or pleasure, competing with pro-
fessionals, he ceases to be an amateur in
the strict sense of the word, because he
is doing exactly as the professionals do,
with the exception that he is not being
paid for his time and trouble, though he
is saving the expense of trainer, and
therefore virtually paying himself Such
driver has no place in the amateur
ranks, but the man who leaves his bust
ness periodically every day or every
week for spin down the avenue and
occasionally gets up behind his own or
his friends trotter and drives him in a
race certainly is an amateur irrespec-
tive of whether he wins or loses The
fact that wealthy man campaigning
his horses himself through the big cir
cults is not thereby gaining livelihood
should not entitle him to place among
amateurs, Notwithstanding the actual
words used seem to fit his case.-Horse-

EARLY SHEARlNG.
Several Reasons Why 1t Is to BE Recon-
mended.

mended.
The postponement of the shearing of
sheep until late in the spring is pretty
sure to cause sad results that may lead
to any amount of loss AS q rule, this
work should be done as early in spring
as possible-before, in fact, any hot spell
down by their thick wool, are sure to
suffer from the first warm weather, and if
this is continued for any length of time
their systems will become debiitated,
and disease may set in. 1t is quite essen
tial that the flocks should begin their
summer season in good condition, and
by shearing them early they are sure to
avoid any danger from disease. They
also escape troublesome annoyance from
ticks, which are sure to lodge in their
wool in hot weather and cause consid-
cradle harm.
Early shearing also affects the lambs,
for if the mothers are weakened by
wearing heavy woods they are pretty
apt to give poor health to their Off
spring To have perfect lambs it is
then quite essential that the mothers
should be sheared very early in the
spring There is final consideration
that is important By early shearing we
are apt to get more for the wool than if
kept until later, when the whole sea-
sons clip begins to come in. There are
many seasons when the wool market is
scarce of supplies toward spring. and
the first new wool that comes in is
pretty sure to command premium.
The value Of wool also depends large
ly upon the condition which it is in
when she2rod. Wool that is long, silky
and strong Of fiber is sure to sell well
and at a good profit Good washed wool
will generally bring from 20 to 80 per
cent more than unwashed. 1t pays
sheepmaster to wash his own wool so
long as such big deductions are made
for the unwashed. The amount of weight
lost in washing does not begin to CORE
spond to the deduction usually made in
the price. But washing sheep delays the
shearing time until quite late in the
season, until the water gets reasonably
warm, so that a man can enter it with
out being chilled through. The ques-
ton is frequently a pertinent one as to
whether it is not better to shear early
and not wash than to wait until late
enough to wash the sheep in warm wa
ter that is sure to come in late spring
On the other hand, if wool dealers
could be induced to pay for unwashed
wool just what it is actually worth per
pound, it would be more profitable
practice to the farmers not to wash their
wool AS it is now, it defers the clip
ping season until quite late and not
only Injuries the physical condition of
the sheep, but Injuries the owners
chances of great profit. But washing
the sheep too early in the season is just
as productive of injury. Many sheep
has caught a heavy cold that resulted
fatally by being plunged in the icy wa
ter early in the season, and many more
have had their systems temporarily de-
ranged from the same cause. 1t is a
question of two evils at present, and the
fockmaster has little choice. Consider
ing everything, one appears as good a
practice as the other E P. Smith in

It is practicable if the thing is rightly

Notes on Feeding MilIet.

Cut with binder, bind in medium
sized bundles. set it up two and two, let
it stand until dry enough to stack, then
stack the same as any bundle grain.
This manner of handling is most gener-
ally liked. There is less wasted, it is
more quickly handled, and the hay is
better.

RatiOns For Steers.

A correspondent asked Professor W.
A. Henry of the Wisconsin agricultur-
al experiment station the following:
(Which will be the best in steer feed
ing: Corn at 40 cents, wheat at so cents
or mill feed at S15 per ton? Should the
wheat be ground, cracked or soaked to
get the best results?" To which he an
swers as follows in The Breeders Ga
Zette:
81 do not know just what our CORE
spondent means by mill feed, as that is
variable term, not meaning the same
for all sections Of the country. Suppos-
ing mill feed to mean good, bright, clean
shorts containing considerable flour,
there is really not much choice between
the three kinds named, and l believe
combination will work the best and
prove the most satisfactory as well as
economical Ear corn, crushed or run
through corn splitter, will be very
satisfactory. Give each steer, however,
during the day, either in combination
or separately, some of wheat or mill feed.
The wheat can either be soaked or
ground coarsely, preferably the latter.
''For full grown steer feed in the
start not more than 8 pounds of corn,
with of either ground wheat Or milk
feed, making 10 pounds of grain in all.
Gradually increase this until Is Or 20
pounds per day are consumed. Watch
carefully to prevent securing, which is
the bane of steer feeding, due generally
to overlooking or heavy feeding and
catching cold. Twenty pounds of such
grain, with cornstalks Or hay for rough
age, is heavy feed for full grown
steer ="
