"The Girl Left Behind Me" seems
to have the power of dcligbting all
classes of society. II ran for months
at the fashionable Empire theatre
after its initial production, and then
last winter it was revived at the
Academy of Music. the largest thea
ire in New York. where thousands of
people were thrilled with the great
stockade scenes in the third act.
Perhaps the judicious mingling of
social incidents, the flirting and fun
that are sure to happen when SOL
diers and pretty girls are thrown to-
gether. and the exciting war scenes
explain this success with different
classes. But even without its pretty
girls and the brilliant ball at Camp
kennion, there is enough fire and
stir in the tremendous stockade
scene to fill any audience with enthu-
siasm. 1t is to be seen at Harper's
theatre tomorrow night.
The Fencing Master" which APP

A production new to the public. en-
titled, 1.-The Derby Mescot," will be
the attraction at the Burtis next Sum
day evening. Feb. 10. The several
scenes of the play are laid in Texas
and are very realistic. The company
is said to be one of unusual strength,
and includes Katie Rooney. that
quaint little embodiment of merri-
ment, in a delightfully."- quaint role,
who will introduce new specialties.
The melodrama abounds in number
less mechanical tricks, which are en-
ployed to illustrate the plot, and to
amaze and bewilder the audience.

the human race is impure blood.
There are about e4O0 disorders incl

eases is found in Hoods Sarsaparilla.

Human Sacrifices in Russia.

1t is probably known to few people
that the practice of sacrificing human
lives under certain conditions still ex-
lists in certain parts of the empire Of
Russia. The government and the Or
thOdOx church have ATTEMPTED in vain
to stop the inhuman practice, but up to
the present time they have been unsuc-
cessful. Revelations regarding the GUS
tom was made in recent issues Of the
Gazette Of Yakootsk, Siberia. 1t pre-
walls among a sect known as the Tskuk-
shen, not far from the city. Old peo-
pie, beyond the Biblical limit as to age,
and sick ones, tired of life, offer them
selves as the sacrifices.
When a Tshukshe decides to "Offer
himself up" he sends word to all his
relatives, friends and neighbors. who
then visit him and try to persuade him
to change his intentions. But prayers,
upbraidings, threats, are useless in
such Il case. and the fanatic prepares
for his end. The friends and relatives
leave his house and return in ten to
fifteen days. bringing the death candi-
date white clothing and several weap-
Ons, with which he is supposed to de-
fend himself in the other world against
evil spirits and to shoot reindeer.
After completing his death toilet the
candidate takes his place in a corner
Of his house or hut. About him gather
his relatives, who offer him the choice
of three instruments of death, knife,
a spear, and a rope. If he chooses q
knife, two friends hold his arms, while
a third plunges the blade into his
breast. Practically the same thing is
done if he decides to die by the spear.
When he prefers the rope, two Of those
present place it about his neck and
strangle him to death. A cut is then
made in the breast to let the blood flow
out. All those present sprinkle their
faces and hands with the blood, believ-
ing that it will preserve them from evil,
and bring them fortune.
The body, after this ceremony, Is
placed on sled, which is drawn by a
reindeer. to the cremation HILL" near
the village. The neck of the animal is
cut at once upon arrival at the place.
The body is stripped of clothing, which
is then cut in small pieces, and placed
on the altar with the dead man or
woman. During the cremation the
mourners utter prayers to the spirits,
begging them to watch over those NOR
tails still left on earth This custom
has been followed by the sect for Gen.

He IL Also a Printer, and Has De.

The architect who designed the plans
for the library and natural history

number Of tenements belonging to the
Perkins Institution, and the Massachu-
sets School for the Blind, Boston, is
himself pupil of the school and to-

plans for the kindergarten for the

Mr.. Reardon saw as we'll as any one

sight failed partially. He attended
the school and recovered it in a meas

He showed the reporter a plan for

raised lines, he uses pins and a string

Writing Of bread in the Household
News Mrs. ROrer says: 81 have been
for a number of years experimenting
on the yeast question, and l have ar
rived fully at the conclusion that the
yeast-bread-eating community sue
cumb quickly to disease, and that
bread as We get it is to blame for our
reputation as a dyspeptic nation.
Throughout the country and to the
masses bread is served in light, puffed-
up condition, absolutely tasteless and
deficient in nutritive qualities. The
bread of France ic made and baked in
such condition that it is almost crust,
the starch has been partially converted
into dextrose by the heat oven, and, as
the crust requires thorough mastica-
ton, it is quite impossible for a per-
son to suffer from indigestion from such
French bread, while our soft American

heavier it becomes, and, by the time
one is ready to swallow it, it is in most
perfect dough pills; moreover, it is
lightly or slackly baked; the yeast plant
In many cases not being killed, it enters
the stomach, and in little time the
bread eater has yeasty fermentation,
which produces in the intestines serious
trouble.

Farm Notes.

Green peas may be planted just as
soon as the ground permits. They are
hardy and thrive best when planted
early in the season.
Glover rootlets will penetrate and
loosen the subsoil, while they are fur
nishing large quantity of valuable
material for forage and for fertilizer.
II it is desired to subsoil field at the
least possible expense, get it to pro-
ducing good crop of clover.
Prof. Bailey, Of Cornell experiment
station. recommends from 500 to 700
pounds of muriate of potash and 800
to 500 pounds Of plain superphosphates
per acre as annual top dressing for
manure orchards. Nitrogen is seldom
needed. he says, and is to apt to force
growth Of too much wood.
What to do with the bones from
fresh meat is a problem to those who
have no mode of reducing them to a
fine condition for the land. If the bones
are placed in the stove and heated, so
as to become brittle. they can be easily
pounded, which converts them into ex-
cellent food for all kinds Of poultry.
The San Jose scale insect has been
found as far East as Ohio, and it is
claimed that it had already put in an
appearance in some Of the New Jersey
nurseries last year, but which may be
a mistake. 1t attacks peach, apple,
pear, cherry and plum trees, and also
rose bushes. The kerosene emulsion
is used as remedy.
The average farm prices of various
agricultural products, per unit Of
measure, compared with those of 1893,
are as follows: Corn, per bushel, 1894,
4I.7c, against 1865; wheat, 49.1. against
SIS; rye. 50.1, against Glib; oats, 32.4,
against 29.4; barley, 44.2, against Al;
tuckwheat, $50, against $50; potatoes,
per bushel, 500, against 50; hay, per
ton, 1854. against $S6S; cotton, Der

That we should import green peas,
canned, from Europe, when such q crop
can be grown in every section Of the
United States, IS not very creditable.
They are always readily salable in win
ter, which is demonstrated by the fact
that we send abroad for them, and
they bring good prices. Here is an
opening for some of our farmers to
combine, build a canning factory and
grow green peas. They will prove more
profitable than cereal crops.

Points on Cake Maxine.

Use small brush for buttering pans,
but when 1t begins to shed bristles
throw it away, as there Is no economy
in trying to use it longer. Use palette
knife for scraping the cake bowl, De
cause it is so pliable as to take out every
atom Of the mixture.
When putting cake mixture in the
pan be sure to spread it well into the
corners, even If there is a depression in
the center. as this will keep the loaf
from rising too much in the center.
If the cake bakes too rapidly on the
bottom slip an asbestos plate under.
The plan of setting cup of water in
the oven to lessen the heat is not to be
commended. 1t would be even better
to set the oven door slightly ajar.
When cake is taken out of the pan
do not put it on to a wire cooler or
rack, which will leave marks on it, but
turn it on to an old linen cloth.
Loosen the cake from the pan around
the edges, but do not let the pan stand
around before the cake is taken out.
If the cake does not come out readily
lay wet cloth over the top Of the pan.
Slit powdered sugar before using.
A trifle more -four is needed in a cake
II made in summer than winter.
If eggs are chilled they will beat
easier.
Be careful not to use too much bak-
ing powder in a cake, as it will make
it porous and dry.
1t makes little difference whether q
cake is warm or cold when the frOsting
is put on.-Grange Homes.

Odds and Ends.

For nausea ScOrch some rice, pour
boiling water over it and drink as hot
as possible.
A little flour dredged over a cake be-
fore icing it will keep the icing from
spreading and running off.
To remove ordinary wall paper soak
the paper by applying hot water with
an old brush and then scraping with
hand or pole scraper.
For a weak person when bathing. a
gill of ammonia in small tub Of water,
or some rock salt, is a wonderful in
vigorator, almost as good as sea bath.
When you buttonhole scallops in your
embroidery, says an expert needlewom-
an, hold the concave edge toward you,
and instead of knotting your thread,
which may cause trouble later, take a
few running stitches to start the
thread.
A picture should not be hung from one
rail; the diagonal lines formed by the
cord have a very discOrdant effect.
Two nails and two vertical cords, or.
what is far more safe, pieces of wire
cordage, should be used instead of the
single cord.
Cut glass washed in warm soapsuds
in hot, but not boiling, water, and stood
in pan Of dry sawdust till dry, then
brushed with soft brush and rubbed
with piece Of chamois, will have
every bit Of its brilliant beauty daz-
zingly brought out.
Onions are an excellent remedy for
catarrhs and coughs; for this purpose
they are chosen very large, cut in four
and stewed In a covered pot with a
little sugar candy; they should be left
to stew very slowly and for long time;
strain and bottle the juice. cork the bot
ties tightly, and keep them in tenn
perate and dry room. A teaspoOnful
of the juice every two hours will be
found very efficacious for bad colds.
Hints to HOusekeepers.
Always appear at table with smooth
hair and neat apparel.
Bread should never be hurried; give
plenty Of time both in rising and hak-
ing.
Drive ants out Of your cupboards by
sprinkling pulverized borax on the
shelves.
To remove ink stains from the hands
rub the spots with the wet head Of q
common parl0r match.
Cake, after 1t becomes stale, makes
an excellent steamed pudding, eaten
with sauce Of sweet gravy.
When you wish to cook anything
quickly In an open vessel do not leave
the spoon in, as it carries OF some heat
Use soapy water when making
starch. The clothes will have q glossier
appearance, and the irons b less likely
to stick.

MANAGEMENT with Weeds.

One cause of weeds flOurishing on
some soils is that they thrive on plant
foods left over by the grain crop, a
condition which renders the soil i'm
poverished for other grain crops, yet
very fertile for weeds because the
weeds are able to get good start,
make rapid growth, secure abundant
moisture below the surface, and de-
prive the land Of that which was not
utilized by the crops, the result being
that the soil is still further impover-
ished. This may be prevented by
growing root crops after corn, to be
followed by clover or some grass crop.

it with duck, or heavy cotton cloth. The
illustration shows how to make it con-
venient both to get into and to get
produce out of. 1t is especially handy
when hauling potatoes, apples, etc., in
freezing weather. An oil stove can be
fastened securely behind the seat on
the floor, and in the coolest weather
the most perishable of articles can be
carried safely and with comfort
American Agriculturist.
Demand for Heavy Draft Horses.
Too often the farmer breeds for his
own use, but expects to sell the gel
dings, and the class of light grades
that suit the fancy of some farmers
do not suit the horse buyers; thus it is
we have bred millions of small to
medium horses for our own use, but
we still want to sell them all the same.
The buyers can not use them, and there
is a veritable scarcity Of big heavy
draft horses or large stylish cOachers,
yet many wonder why horses are so
cheap. They refuse to breed what the
market wants, and the market refuses
to pay decent price for the common
horses that are presented for sale. The
whole world wants the big, heavy draft
horses. American farmers can raise
them, and they will raise them of the
right kind when they come to under
stand the market requirements.-Live
