CARRIE E. PERKINS.


A'"'''AOHh AAAibJ AfHi A'HtH'n'
Carrie p. Perkins was born In
Woburn, Mass, on October A. 1850.
She entered upon her professional
career when 10 years Of age, making
her debut at the Boston Museum,
where she remained throughout the
season of 1S76-77. The following season
she Joined T.. II, Rice's Surprise Party,
and during the season or 1S7S-79 was
member Of COlvllles Folly company.
She rejoned Rlce's Surprise Party for
the season Of 1880 and continued with
1t to the close Of 1882. She then
tired almost entirely from the stage for
four years, during which interval she
devoted her time to designing costumes
for plays such as "Evangellne," 1.-THE
Corsair," THE Pearl of Pekin," ETC.,
playing, however, an occasional en-
gagement. During the season Of 1SS6-T
she played the role of the duchess in
"AdonIs," and the following year sue
ceeded Amelia SummerVille in the role
OF the Merry Little Mountain Maid,
which part she played for two seasons,
Throughout the season of 1SS0-90 she
was with Hallen and Hart, and during
the season of 1S9O-91 she again support
ed Henry Il. Dlxey in "Adonls" and
"The Seven Ages" The season Of 1892
SO was passed with Charles II. Yale's
Devils Auction" company The sea-
son Of 1894 she again supported Mr..
Dixey in "Adonls" under the manage
ment of Jefferson, Klaw &c Erlanger.
During the season of 1S94-95 she was
with the Thomas Q. Seabrooke Opera
company. Upon June 3 last, at Rich
ard Mansfleld's Garrlck theater, she
created the role Of Triby in the bur
lesque Of that name and continued to
play the role with great eclaL until the
recent close of the run Of that piece,
to the success Of which she very large
ly contributed. In this production not
only were her hlstrlonic abilities Of the
highest value, but her skill in costum-
ing a play was Of great advantage, and
at the termination of the run She re-
ceived from Mr. Mansfield a personal
letter conveying to her concentrations
of her work and the expression of his
appreciation Of her labors and Of her
kindly interest in the production, Miss
Perkins Is possessed Of unusual ability

How wild rnrI,exs Forage.

A writer thus describes troop Of
wild turkeys on a MARSH in Missouri;
They started out in the morning like
q regiment of soldiers, taking the fields
and woods and everything that came
before them, each turkey marching
perhaps ten feet from its neighbor.
They went away in the morning and
usually came in an hour before sun
down, keeping up the same line Of
march in all their raids. About an
hour before shutdown they emerged
from the woods, in u long line, all
abreast. AS they went over the pas
ture lot, every cricket. grasshopper,
bug and worm was pretty sure to be
detected by their keen sharp eyes, and
you could see them do their work as
they moved forward. OF course they
got into the corn fields some, but it is
generally considered that they do
enough good in their march to, atone
for the corn they take, for corn is
cheap,

3han in killing so much timothy. There
are some bulbs on the sort raised in
Michigan, but they are not hard to kill.
Like orchard grass, 1t ripens very
quickly after blooming, and to
make good hay there must be
no delay in cutting. As 1t
blossoms rather early, many let It go
too long before cutting, when the stema
become woody and Of poor quality.
Again, bad weather often interferes
with the cutting just at the right time,
and poor hay is the result. A man
doesn't want large quantity of this
grass to NOV, unless he is prepared TO
cut 1t all In day or two. 1t makes
fine growth the first season after
sowing, and, If sown alone, will cut a
good crop Of hay, I find that stock eat
the grass well, though most likely they
would prefer to have some grass not so
bitter for part Of the time. The seed
Is rather bright, weighing fourteen
pounds to the bushel in the chaff
About two bushels is the quantity
usually sown per acre. Only half Of the
flowers set seed, as every other one is
staminate, The seed is rather large,
starts early, and soon makes vlgor-
GUS growth. This fits it for alternate
husbandry and for dry countries.
In sowing the seed care needs to be
used to cut the grass just as soon as
the top Of the panicle is ready. Not
half day should go by or seed Will be
lost 1t is cut high, bound in small
bundles, shocked till well cured, when
it is drawn to the threshing floor On
wagon supplied with canvas to cave
the Smelling seeds. II yields from ten
to twenty bushels Of seed per acre"

fall and was recently admitted to the
bar. He is practlclng law in New York,
but frequently can be seen watching the
games at the Polo grounds. Dan
Brouthers began the present season
with the Baltimores, but was later sold
to the Louisvllles. He played ball with
the latter team for a few weeks and
then voluntarily retired going to his
home in Wapplnger's Falls. Brouthers
has saved considerable money and as
he was always high-salaried player
he can be regarded as very well off.
big Bill" Brown, who played with
the New Yorks in the Notwithstanding
days of 1888 and 1883, was last seen In
the League when he held down first
base for the Lousvilles a year ago. He
was ultimately released and went to an
Eastern League Club, but this season
he seems to have dropped out Of sight
altogether. Danny Richardson with
drew from the game of his own accord
He didn't like to play ball in Louisville,
so he notified the club that he would in
the future attend to his dry goods bust
ness in Elmra. Danny could probably
play good ball now, but as his business
affairs are in a prosperous condition he
has no desire to return to the diamond
Charley Comiskey the famous captain
of the st. Louis Browns, and last year
manager Of the Clncinnatis, has also
left the big league, and Is now the man
ager of the st, Paul Club. "Commy" Is
one of the richest eX-ball players in the
country, and 1t Is probable that some
day he may secure control Of the st.
Louis League club. He Is said to be
dlckering with Won der Abe for the pur-
chase of the club and, as Chris may de-
eide to SELL 1t will not be strange If
Comiskey becomes a real, live mag

John G. Clarkson, the famous pitcher
OF the Chicagos and Bostons who, with
poor Mike Kelly, figured as the business
end of the 100000 battery" Is in the
cigar business in Bay City. Clarkson
pitched great ball for the Clevelands
in the early part Of last season, but
later he was traded to the Baltimore
club in exchange for Tony Mullane.
Clarkson, however, felt that he had
seen his best days as a ball player, and
decided to engage In his present occu-
patton. He has saved his money Null
lane went from Baltimore to Cleveland,
but he didn't last long. and this year
has been pitching some in the Western
league. Elton Chamberlin, who In his
day was one of the best pitchers in the
country, has also dropped out of the
game. The Cincinnati club sold his re-
lease to the Cleveland club last winter
but as Chamberlln couldn't agree upon
terms he decided to qBit the diamond

from luscious grape to an old boot.
AS for generously yielding anything
for the good Of others-pooh, not to be
thought Of, if he can hold it. There is
just one trait in his characteB that
makes us almost ashamed Of having
said that he never considers another's
comfort-he will never eat raw onions;
they would make his breath offensive.
"But with all his faults, we love part
of him. still" If you Danish him from
the farming world you will create a
blank that nothing else can fill. If we
thus villify the hog, he may with per-
feet fairness, turn upon us and say:
"You lords Of creation expect me to
perform impossibilities. For ages you
have made me the scavenger of your
farms and homes. You feed me often
with food that all other animals refuse;
my home is anywhere and anyhow. No
care is taken as to the laws of SANTA
ton am lodged in the vilest novels,
often only partially covering me; un-
able 10 get away from filthy surround
ings, unavoidably become defiled, and
then you call me dirty pig. You
fancy, because 1 happen to choose to
wallow in the mud during hot day,
that my tastes are low. Well, 1t Is
often the only bath you allow me, and
since you have robbed me Of most Of my
natural protection against the sting
ing, tickling flies, 1 do this in self-de-
Tense. Give me a chance Of being clean,
feed me with wholesome food, give me
good shelter and a dry bed and l will
repay you hundred fold for your
care"
Piggy has good ground for his COM
plant. 1t has been too long the notion
that anything was good enough for
hog. This has been the cause of I'M
told loss. Many poor cottager might
save one-fourth to one-third of his out
lay in producing his annual supply Of
bacon if only his pig was kept warm
and clean, had his food given in more
wholesome form and with greater regu-
larity. If growing is the object give as
much exercise as it is convex Tent to
obtain, with an occasional, if MT reg
ular, bite of grass, little salt and wood
ashes within reach, failing wood ashes,
ordinary cinders and ashes. If rapid
fattening is the object, a mixture Of
meals with boiled potatoes and house
scraps, together with perfect quiet. 1t
is a serious mistake to use only one
meal, no matter what kind. A mixture
is infinitely better.
This treatment applies With equal
force to one or 500.

Grain and Hay.

Many animals cease to thrive simply
because they require food more sue
culent than the continued diet of grain
and hay. A few carrots, Il mess of po-
tatoes or turnips cooked, or even en-
silage, occasionally will make quite a
difference in the appetite, and, conse-
quently do much to promote thrift.
Medicine is frequently given when a
succulent mess would accomplish all
that may be desired.

pearance in the League was with the
Plttsburgs. He may be playing yet, but
the general public doesn't know It.
Where are few veterans left In the
business, but they may be expected to
get out soon. Capt. Arson Of the Chi
Cages, Roger Conner, Buck Ewing, Bid
McPhee, Jack Glasscock, Tom Burns,
and others are among the number.
Roger Conner only last week notified
the ST. Louis club that he wanted to
terminate his career on the field and
If he gets out this season he can do 50

to play well and he will never be for

the following: Water, 6,S4; ash, 100;
ether extract, 2,S5; crude fiber, 2S.72;
says that this gras is known in some
parts Of the country as False oat-grass,
French rye-grass, Evergreen grass.
], B. Lawes, Of England, says Of IT.:
"The endowments favorable to this
grass are it's hardness, its comparative
Indifference to the character of the soil,
its particularly ample root growth, both
deep and superficial, its strong, tufted
habit, and its early Towering tendency.
1t yields a considerable quantity of foil
age on the culms, which affords a good
deal of leafy feed in spring. 1t pro-
duces rapidly after cutting; its taste is
bitter. but it is not disliked by cattle.
It does not grow abundantly, except
upon poor soils, and is, upon the whole,
of somewhat questionable value. 1t is
much grown in France"
Among English seedsmen there is a
very poor opinion of this grass, and
some call it noXious weed. But on
this side of the Atlantic the results Of
experiences are different.
Prof. D. l.. Phares, of Mississippi
saws: ut has a wonderful capacity for
withstanding the severest heats and
drouths of summer and colds of winter.
n admits of being cut twice a year,
Welding twice as much hay as timothy,
and is probably the best winter grass
that can be obtained. To make good
hay 1t must be cut the instant it blooms.
For green solling it may be cut four or
five times, with favorable seasons
Along the more southerly belt it may
he sown in November and onward till
the middle of December. 1t is one Of
the most certain grasses to have a good
CATCH"
Other American authors speak very
highly of it. Prof. Beal sums up his
investigation as follows;
1.-THE writer has raised this grass on
rather light, sandy soil at Lansing,
Michigan, for twelve years or more, has
seen 1t in some other locali-
ties in the state, and thinks

Mutual Help.

We are taught by both religion and
that law of civilization which we call
humanity, to feel the sorrows and dis
tresses of our neighbors, Without the
sentiment of pity, society would be
but little better than q menagerie of

his own hand and no one gave a
thought to the sufferings or the rights
OF ethers put pity makes these wild
beasts into men, and substitutes for
