evening Bellstedt came on again.
During the morning hours while
the parade was forming, and also,
of course, while it was in progress,
seven bands blared and blew, and
made music more or less melodious,
with all their might, and left not a
minute silent nor a particle of at
mosphere undisturbed by sound.
1t was q great day for bands, sure.
At the corner of Belmont avenue
and Broad street the parade was
reviewed by Richard Hin. Chief of
the Negro department, and by Chief
Marshal Preston Taylor and the
Executive Committee of the Negro
Department.
Then the parade moved ON to
the grounds, the exercises in the
Auditorium came on and closed.

of the Sabbath, but until the last
minute before midnight the crowd
remained, loath to leave, and turn

INCREASING BUTTER FAT.

] have not found any food which
materially increases the perceAt-
age Of butter fat in the milk Of a
given COW, The only way to reach
this result is to feed SO as to Sc
cure more milk and consequently
a larger aggregate of butter fat.
Tests show that while it is not
practical to feed fat into the milk,
the percentage OF fat is increased
as the yield falls off. It pays to
feed a little bran or grain feed
even in summer, when COWS are on
good pasture. They hold out
longer and the milk flow responds
less readily to changes of condit-
ion in pasture. In my own per
sonal experience this course has
resulted in my cows making an ay
erage Of fifty pounds more thar
when the practice was not followed
The cost per head for the extr'
feed thus expended was $5f ant

A VILLAGE UNDER ONE ROOF.

Most of the large towns in France
contain workmen's model DWELL
ings, or tenement houses, which
have been dignifed with the pic
turesque appellation of barracks,
but none of these have attained to
the colossal proportions Of the
"Freihaus,," situated at Weilden, a
suburb of Vienna. This building
has thirteen. court yards, and ac-
comodates 2,112 person belong
ing to all classes Of society. One
postlnan is specially appointed to
deliver letters to the inmates,
whose correspondents have to be
careful to put on the cover not
merely the Christian name and
surname of the addressee but
the number Of the yard, the
staircase and the fiat, if they want
the letter to reach it's destination.

surprised to find that it would

head to extend to the top of it.
Then he steps back a pace and
reads the following inscription,
neatly printed on board attached
to the face of the slab:

tree was 465 feet high, 220 feet to
first limb, and 80 feet IL inches in
circumference at the base. If
sawed into lumber it would make
96,345 feet. It would build eight
cottages two stories high, of seven
rooms each. The tree is bout 40

IMPROVING FRUIT.

!, Improving fruit has been 6
theme for centuries. The theory
of DIR. Van Mons, Of Belgium, is
the reproduction of seedlings from
seedlings in succession, selecting
each time those which prove best
in the fruit. We have learned
from experience that seedlings al
ways have a. tendency to improve,
but they also have another tend
ency to return to the original, or
wild, state. At the eighth genera
ton in growing from the pear,
Professor Won Mons seedlings
produced fruit at four years old,
while at the commencement it re-
CURED twelve to fifteen years
Therefore, he regarded this method
as the correct one to pursue IN the
amelioration Of varieties He was
the originator of the Frederick OF
Wartemburg, a pear that produces
ats fruit often in the nursery at
two years from the bud, while it
required twelve to fifteen years for
ths Dix. ~.
Thomas Andrew Knight, a dis
,tinguished horticulturist OF Eng
land, advocated the theory Of fer
!, tilization or hybridizing, for the
improving Of new varieties of fruit.
This may seem adverse to the for
mer theory, but it does not differ
materially as the blossoms have to
be fortified, either by nature or
bees or by artificial means ny
bridizing. Prof. Lindley say: "If
/, the, pistils of one species be fer
stilized by the, pollen Of another
sspecies, which may take place IN
the same genus, orif two distinct
varieties Of the same species be in
like manner intermixed, the seeC
which results from the operation
will be intermediate between its
/ parents, partaking Of the qualities
OF both" a -a
sqa The selecting Of seed has un.
doubtedly proven the better in pro
ducing larger fruit and bringing i
into bearing sooner, but cross
breeding gives one the privilege q

Knight to quite degree of sue

as well as his own with no benefit
to either. This is especially true
| OF all country towns, and is q hab-
it that will continue from time to
eternity, but nevertheless, not a
good one. Just don't get in the
habit of it. You will feel better
for not doing SO. These truths
are very adaptable to the young
men who are rowing up and hope
to be as we expect Of them the
foundation of better and wiser
genel alton. Instead Of standing
on the corner such people might
be more proftably employed at
their homes reading something
that would increase their fund OF
knowledge. These thoughts are
worth jotting down and trying.
You can loose northing by SO do
ing and perhaps may profit by
them .-Gleaner.

HOW TO MAKE HOME HAPPY.

many of us are apt to take to the
pleasures Of staying down town
and hanging around our street

be just as pleasant. Man is So

One of the most trying of such ordeals is
what is technically known as delayed
entrance - and then the actor on the stage
must hold the scene" In order to do this
skillful improvisation OF dialogue or mono
logue is required.
A good story is told of Otis Skinner. The
trouble occurred in the course of a street
scene. In the character of a rector he had
just hidden a friend goodbye. and i'm
mediately upon the exit OF the latter he
should have been joined by a physician.
When the friend made his exit by the left
side Skinner turned to the right side and
exclaimed:
Here comes the doctor, now. How for
tunatei"
But no doctor came. and he prepared TO

cause the average theater-goer to

cues, entrances and exits. A single slip
will often seriously enbarrass the entire
company, and that slip may occur at any
time, for the humanity will creep out of
the divine creatures and mistakes do hap
pen in the best regulated families.
Sometimes, however the most unsophis-

the play produces in his mind is dispelIed.

The theatrical SUNNI or is at hand. What
with Mansfield and Skinner this week,
Crane and Willard next. John Drew Just
below the horizon, and Sothern, Sol Smith
Russell, Margaret Mather, and Heart OF
Maryland just at his heels, it W ould seem
that the winter of discomfort is waning.
Someone asks where the line should be
drawn between Skinner and Mansfield.
That implies definition or two, the hard
est thing In the world to give, for it is he
ripest fruit OF NEST perfect knowledge.
But there is a distinction Though Mans.
field comes with the prestige ofmany years
and Skinneris but in his third, the younger
man has asserted his position and denoted
his rank.
Mansfield has chosen to depict the SIMS
ter phases OF character, the odd and excep-
tional moods his touch is surest when he
reaches farthest from the normal. 1t seems
almost as If the man could not act a
straight part-that is, such one as
the conventional, modern man of society
and commercial life. Yet he comes close
to the realism of nature when with the arti-
rices OF his craft he portrays those posi-
BILE creatures who happen but once. Mans
Held is character tragedian, with dash
of eccentric comedy.
Skinner and Mansfield have much ground
in common. Both of them invade the field
OF tragedy; hunaor is a gift OF each But
Skinner approaches both of these provinces
from tile opposite direction from the other
actor He is not eccentric in his comedy
and his tragedy S seldom character study,
for lie is first and unrivaied as romantic

What Mansfield would do with Hamlet, in

There is a peculiar, and in many cases
exaSperating tendency which has seized
upon the direction of public opinion
to magnify any dominant quality in

more often put beneath the magnifying

Richard Mansfield has been the object Of

nervous personality and a sensitive disposi-
ton have proved the base for much that he
has had stored against him. and silence.
which in another would have been nOmi-

This actor has So intimately identified
himself with character tragedy, the at
