AN AMERICAN LUXURY.

''The thing especially enjoyed after
somewhat lengthy sojorn on the

"A red-faced, hearty Englishman

Then in Italy you shiver about all

crockery stoves never seem to thaw
you out. So when I arrived in America

the room at my hotel and piled on the

How 70 Seal a letter.

When the letter is ready, lay the seal
on the table at your right hand, and in
such a position that when used the i'm
preston may be square and right side
up. Then hold the wax above the fame
of the gas or candle, but not near
enough to burn. When the wax has
been gradually softened, apply it, with
circular movement. upon the place
to be sealed. Rub it we'll around and
down until you have circle of proper
size and thickness. The wax, still soft,
has cooled sufficiently to take q clear
impression. Hold the envelope little
distance from the fame until the wax
has again become soft, then moisten the
seal and apply it. The result will be a
clear cut impression. There will be no
adhesion of wax TO seal, no breakage
and no irregular wax strings hanging
about the paper. The letter cannot be
opened without destruction of the seal
itself, which, in old conventional style,
will serve as remembrance of the send
er and for the security of the contents of
the letter.

PORTABLE NEST.

and the entrances may be arranged in
any manner preferred (front and rear).
If more nests are required, one or more
can be added by placing them on the
box, as may be seen in the illustration
BY this arrangement the nests can be
moved or placed anywhere in the house,
or carried outside to be cleaned las 1t
is not necessary to nail the top to the
sides), and being very compact, there
is quite saving of space compared
with the usual method of fastening
continuous nests to the sides of the
house, while by separating the nests
from the roosts the nests will be clean
err, and the foosts more easily arranged
for the convenience of the fowls. The
entrances to two of the nests are not
seen, they being at the rear or other
side.-Farm and Fireside.

distance Between Plants.

At the Georgia station results gained
with cotton were such as to justify these
conclusions: With standard width of
rows Of feet, on soil capable Of pro-
ducing to ~ bales per acre, the
plants should not be farther apart than
10 inches in the row, with the seasons
as they were in 1885, Reviewing the
results of the six years tests, the same
conclusion is reached, regardless of sea-
sons, that, with standard width of
rows of feet, the plants should not be
farther apart than IL inches. 1t should
be remarked by way of caution that
overrich moist spots frequently occur,
on which it would be well to give greater
distance between plants, as much as
or even 3 or feet, according to the
soil. On the thinner parts of field the
plants should be left closer, even, than
IL inches

A New York firm applied to Abraham
Lincoln some years before he became
president for information as to the
financial standing of one of his neigh
bors. Mr.. Lincoln replied: "Yours of

with Mr.. , and know his circuln-
stances. First of all, he has wife and
baby; together they ought to be worth
$4,000 to any man. Secondly, he has an

The general impression is that the
great bulk of immigrants to the United
States find homes ''in the great west, .
notably those from England, Wales,
Germany and the Scandinavian coun-
tries. The contrary, however, is shown
by recent figures to be the case. The
states into which immigrants go by
preference are those on the Atlantic
seaboard. OF 342,OO0 immigrants who
landed in this country during the last
fiscal year covered by the treasury re-
port, $4,000 meant to remain in New
York state. Some $1,000 others had
Pennsylvania for their destination and
$4,000 Massachusetts; SO that these
three states absorbed about two-thirds
of the whole immigration to the United
States.

The Army Worm,

In reply to the query, "Will the army
worm come this Year," Professor slim
gerland, Cornell station, writing to the
New England Homestead, says:
I have noticed i'll reports from some
localities in New York that farmers are
planning to refrain from sowing oats
and other grains for fear of repetition
of the 1896 invasion of the worms this
summer. OF course no one can say def
nitely when the crops of New York or
any other state will be again ravaged
by the pest. but believe that the his
tory of the insect and the evident and
very effective work Of its enemies last
year strongly indicate that the army
worms will be scarce in 1897 and for
some years to come in most parts of
New York and adjoining states. At any
rate. would strongly advise farmers to
SOW their grain crops as usual.

SO that it may be seen from the pave
ment. Place the tickets ON an angle
toward the street In dressing glove
window show only the backs. If there
q an inferior piece of skin in the glove,
it will always be in the palm. Gloves
can be stuck on the window by breath
ing on the middle finger and then press
ing it against the glass. Tricky window
displays are sometimes very taking.
For example, suppose you make
display of blankets some day in July or
August when there is sudden change
in the weather and the thermometer
falls several degrees. Let people know
that you are equal to any emergency,
and that even the weather cannot get
ahead Of you. Keep windows clean.
Have the lower parts rubbed over two
or three times during the day and al
ways after shower. Do not economic
in tickets. New tickets make old stock
appear fresh. Old tickets make new
stock appear stale. Use black or white
tickets throughout They are more
striking than colors. Light up the win
dows early, before dusk. 1t adds effect,
and, moreover, this is usually the time
when customers are about.

Tho Sultan Heeds the Cgar's Warning and
Hostiiitiss Cease - Good Prospects for
Peace.
Constantinople, May 19.-There was
sudden change in the political situa-
tion shortly before noon Tuesday.
Russia quietly showed her hand and
thereby iorced Germany and Turkey
out of the game. Monday night and
early yesterday morning Turkey, sup
ported by Germany, was practically
defying Russia, France, Austria, Great
Britain and Italy, insisting upon the
annexation of Thessaly in addition to
a huge war indemnity and seemingly
was determined to marCh upon Athens.
The minister's received official ad-
vices from Sofia announcing that
orders had been issued for the partial
mobilization of the Bulgarian army,
| possibly at the instigation of Russia.
| There was a hurried consultation of
| the ministers. The war party was for
further defiance, but in the end pacific
counsels prevailed, for orders were tel
egraphed to Edhem Pasha, the Turk
ish commander-in-ch in Thessaly, to
cease hostilities.
! Later in the day it was officially an
nounced that the Turks had occupied
Domokos on Monday evening, after q
great battle.
1t transpires that the czar made a
direct appeal to the sultan to order his
an armistice, and this, coupled with
the fact that most serious results would
have ensued if Turkey had persisted in
her defiant attitude, brought about the
present state of affairs.
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister
for foreign affairs, called upon Baron
Won Calice yesterday afternoon to con-
vey to the foreign ministers the sui
tan's decision to arrange an armistice.
1t is now believed that the terms of
peace will be negotiated directly be-
tween Turkey and Greece.
London, May 19.-The harmony of
the European press on the subject OF
the conditions of peace is remarka BILE.
The semi-official papers are as one in
the vigorous terms in which they de-
nounce Turkeys pretensions. Now
that the last obstacle to speedy
armistice is removed by Germany
which temporarily blocked the nego-
misunderstanding Instructed her am
bassador at Constantinople. Baron Won
Saurma Jeltsch, to join the other am
bassadors in pressing upon the porte
the necessity of agreeing upon an
armistice, it can be taken for granted
that with the innumerable forms OF
coercion ready to the hands of tn,
powers the sultan will yield to the
inevitable within day or two, especi.
ally as the capture of the Greek posi-
tions at Domolsos will go far to satisfy
the Turkish war party.
A dispatch to the Chronicle from
Athens says: 1t is officially stated
that Germany has instructed her am
bassador at Constantinople to request
the porte to grant u fortnight's armis
tice, which it is understood was signed
at Z o'clock last evening
