Court Circular.


1t is not too much TO say that the sum-
moning Of Nine. Patti to Windsor TO APP
pear before the queen has been abso-
lutely the greatest surprise of the sea-
son. It is more than twenty years since
the queen has listened 10 the strains OF
the greatest prima donna of all recorded
time. When Christine Nilsson, the Swe-
dish cantatrice, was interviewed in New
York in 1883 she was asked her opinion
of various singers. and she gave 1t very
candidIy OF every one, including her.
saIf and Alhna. but she never once al
.luded to Patti. "You have not mem
toned La Marquise de Caux.'' remarked
the pertinacious interviewer NO." said
Christine. Il have not: YOU are asking
me about singers do not regard Patti
as a singer: I place her among the
angels; Patti only comes to planet
by the permission Of the Almighty once
during that planets existence" There
is an absence OF stage jealousy here
which Is astounding.

The X endals Ignore Mrs- LAngtry.
New York Special, Jan. "a.


There's blizzard in the Victoria hotel.
and the Jersey Lily has to keep her furs
on. AIRS. Langtry. while playing around
New York. Is stopping at this hotel She
has been acting in Brooklyn during the
last week. The last time Mrs. Langtry
visited this country she travelled in a
palace car. Now the ordinary coach is
good enough for her. It Is noticeable
that despite the fact that Mr.. and Airs.
Kendall are stopping at the Victoria, they
have never yet even so much as deignesf
to notice the presence Of their fair coun-
trywoman-and hence the Lily feels the
cold. When Mrs. Kendall meets Mrs
Langtry on the elevator or in the din
ing room she simply passes her with a
frozen stare in the face. Mr. Kendall
does not even smile. Some of the guests
in the hotel say he is afraid to.
Mrs. Langtry does not seem to be wor-
ried much about these trivial details She
returns to the hotel every night in a car
riage. accompanied by her leading man
and her French poodle. She met for
the first time the distinguished miiion-
laire Cuban. Antonio Terry, who followed
Sybil Sanderson to this country from
Paris. Miss Sanderson says she will
marry Mr.. Terry as soon as he can get a
divorce. Mr.. Te&y seemed quite pleased
to meet the Lily and invited her to so
out for supper. It is now said that Sybil
wears a white frost when she sees Lang
try.

Injuries From Horses.

An old cavalryman says that horse
will never step Oh man Intentionally.
1t is standing order in the English
cavalry that, should man become dis
mounted, no must lie down and keep
perfectly still. If he does SO, the entire
troop will pass over him without his be-
ing injured. A horse notices where he is
going, and is OH the lookout for firm
foundation to put his foot on. 1t is an
instinct with him, therefore, to step
over prostrate man. The injuries
caused TO human beings by runaway
horse arc nearly always inflicted b. tho
animal knocking them down, and not
by his stepping on them. Boston Her

this way:
Through all this dreadful case, this
struggle for what should be to her many
thousand times dearcr than life, has
veil mantled that beautiful face? Has
one tear rolled down those checks: Has
there been single blush on that face?
Not tear Not blush!' He shook his

Corn For Silage.

The object Of planting thicker for
silage is not simply to get larger yield
of dry matter to the acre, which will be
the case, but to have more perfectly
balanced food-one not containing too
large per cent Of grain.
It is best also either to plant two va
rieties Of corn maturing at different
times, or else one portion little later,
in order that it shall not all ripen at the
same time, so that the filing of the silo
may go on more leisurely. It is much
better to fill silo continuously and lei
surely during two or three weeks than
to crowd the work all into one week. In
this way more silage can be stored in
the same space, and the ordinary help of
the farm can do the work without crowd
ing. The idea that a large crew of men
is necessary in the filing of silo is
wrong. There need be little more hurry
IN filling the silo than there should he
in cutting corn for the shock, says a
writer i'll Tho Prairie Farmer.

The command of the colonial force the
largest ever sent out from the colonies
and which did not have single ENGLISH
regular officer in it's command, was in
trusted to William Pepperell, of Maine.
a wealthy merchant, who contributed
from his own purse upward of e25, OOC
toward the expense of the expedition.
His name is one that Americans ought
always to honor. He was typical, self,
made American, and by his own
indomitable courage continually in.
spired confidence in his soldiers He
afterward became Sir William Pep
perell, being created a Baronet within
two months after the victory, the first
and only native of this country to be
thus honored by Great Britain. He was
also commissioned Colonel in the regular
army, and subsequently made Major Gen
eral aud Lieutenant General, sthe last dis
tinction being conferred upon him few
months before his death in 1858.
The land force had the assistance Of a
very capable naval officer, Sir Peter
Warren, who came up from the West In
oles, where he had heen cruising with
