Luxurious Farming.

ma COI1C
The farm at Morristown, N. J., owned
by H. Nick. Twombly. who married one
of the daughters of William H. Wander
bilt, is perhaps the most luxurious in Amer
lea. Work upon it has been going on for
years, and now it is getting near the habit
able stage. Some of the features of the
farm would rather amaze the yeoman with
a hundred acres. One of these is the sta
BILE which houses a hundred fine bred
horses. Besides their unusually comforta-
BILE stalls, they have a Turkish bathroom,
wherein there is provision for giving them
baths of hot and cold water and steam.
Another apartment is provided for grooms,
coachnlen, footmen and tigers" to apparel
themselves for duty. In the midst of the
ty-hve feet wide, in which the master and
mistress of the manse and their guests
may practice feats of noble horsemanship
across country. In the dairy are fresh
wonders. for there the blooming dairy maid
OF the Herrick sort or the Tess type may
behold butter being made by electricity.
The milk is imprisoned in a great wooden
bowl, and this is revolved like any barrel
churn. But instead of the weary hand
turning which tires the arm of the farmer.
and his wife, and his maids. and makes
butter slowly, electricity turns this bowl
about eight thousand times a minute. so
that you can almost milk YOUR cows at sun
rise and have butter from that self-same
milk TO spread on your rolls at breakfast
time. The only old-fashioned processes on
the farm appear to be the milking and the
grooming, both of which are still done by
land.

The Boys.

In the matter of credulity the boys on
JOY square were divided into three gem
eral classes, with a subdivision to cover
the case of each boy in each class: but
with the subdivisions we shall have moth
ing TO do. as they are tiresome and in
finite.
There were the extremely incredulous
boys, round-eyed, open-mouthed, with
arched eyebrows and ffaring %nostrils; there
were the utterly incredulous unfoolable
boys. with drawn lids. straight brows,
close mouths and admirable self-posses-
sion, and there were the shifty-eyed boys,
whose expressions were always of the re-
fected variety-who were always looking
from one to another to learn what was
the prevailing opinion before forming one
of their own-an unjustifable opinion east
ly changed TO suit any shifting majority.
These boys were numerically in the ma
jority on Joy square, yet strange to say
their opinions did not count for much, and
their influence, unless backed and
reinforced with unlimited fireworks, candy
or a new bicycle, was a nonentity. (When
these boys grow I'D they will become, bar
bers.) When any of the radicals fell into
ridicule through the sheer force and sin
cerity of their convictions. this numerous
neutral boy was the loudest and most Of
fensive in his guffaw. Who can imagine a
greater temptation to sermonize? Yet l
refrain, though it break my heart.

There were four or five men on the street
corner discussing the financial question.
when a poorly-dressed woman halted before
them, and, singing out a particular man
who had been especially vociferous in the
advocacy of his pet views, she said:
I am a poor. but respectable and hard
working woman. Could you let me have
money to buy a pair of shoes with?'

Very badly, sir; and l sail never forget

Stevens of East Canaan, sccretary The day, Wednesday, was very bright apd beautiful Five at least from this Grange took the fifth degree. The open meeting WAS in the Opera hall, on the corner of Main street. About 450 Grangers were present during the day and l 7 tock the fifth degree at the lower hall. The occasion was of marked inter- est to members of the Patrons of Illus bandry and the Litchheld Grange, Whit man $. Osborn master, Miss Mary A Wetmore lecturer and George B. Stod dard secretary, made magnificent proVis- ion for their guests. The dining hall was sumptuously furnished with seating ca pacity of $50, which WAS inadequate to furnish all with a sitting at the first table, yet there was an oyer flowing abundance for every hungry person and at least remainder of l2 baskets full. All were invited to stay over night, but the day was so fine and the services closed so ear ly, which were very good, that most of the patrons thought it best to return to their homes. 1t was quite sight to see the wagons quartered in the yard of Pratt's stables. They could be counted At least the number was large. The next meeting of the Mountain County Po- mona, No. 1, will be in Torrington the first Wednesday in December.

There are co., GOO Changers in New England. This was true in 1893. The National Grange will hold it's 30ch session in November next. It will meet in Denver, Col. A resolu- tion passed at the Worcester meeting, last year, was that it should so meet, provid- ed that the expense per capita of the meeting of the National Grange shall not exceed the average expense of it's sessions for the last five years.
