LIVE STOCK MARKET.

The beef market is in a peculiar state.
1t would be nothing mere than reason
able for the big four packers TO ship al
increased amount of beef to Boston at
the beginniisg of Easter but when each
one Vies with the other to get in all the
beef possible, as they have apparently
been doing for the past two weeks. the
market must suffer. The total receipts
for the week. have included loo cars for
Boston and la cars for export. total
OF 307 ears: preceding week, 1S0 cars for
Boston and 10 cars for export, a total
of 2g0 cars same week a year ago. l4l
cars for BOSTON and 81 cars for export

have nominallN been sustained, though
trade has not been nearly up to the very
free arrivals
Trade in lambs and muttuns was very
fair for the week, with fall lambs fairly
sustained hut with springers easter,
from freer arrivals. MuttOns have ruled
steady. with Neals firm. for the time OF

A new profession for women seems
to be open in piano-tuning. This bust
ness pays we'll and offers many induce
ments to women in preference to
others. There is a very much more
pronounced demand for piano tuners
in the country districts than in the
cities, particularly in this country.
Tuning is an art easy to acquire, and
the learning of this profession requires
neither time or great expense.
What is absolutely necessary is a
good ear. The tools necessary are not
very expensive. A key, tuning-fork,
a few pieces of hard felt covered with
leather to place between the strings
and few ordinary tools, like hammer,
tongs, pliers, screw-driver, ct cetera,
are all that are necessary, and can be
carried in a small satchel. PianO-tun-
ing does not demand great strength,
and without doubt it can be made to
pay we'll

The latest cutlery in English society
against American habits is that young
and pretty American girls do not hesi-
tate to live by themselves with neces-
sary servants, whenever they feel in
clined and can afford it. They give
municipalities, and balls, supper and
municipalities as if they were married
women. The worst of it is that Eng
lish society acknowledges that there
is a tendency to follow that lead. and
that some smart English girls have
started establishments of their own
and that, strange to tell, they have not
been frowned down upon by certain
aristocratic, old-fashioned. and conser-
vative families as it was exp cted they
would be. An instance is given in
Lady Rose Molyneux, who gave a
house-party at Abbeystead, including
the usual shooting-party, all fully de-
scribed. Lady Rose being her fathers
favorite daughter (the late Lord Self
tom, at his death she inherited an es-
tate in Lancashire with thirty thou
sands dollars to keep it up, besides ten
thousand dollars a year. Her house
party turned out perfect success, and
her mother, Lady Seton, was present
as her daughters guest and nothing

The value of green food as a preser-

For years the women of Withersfeld,
Conn, were famous for their beautiful
compleXion-a beauty which was
ascribed to the onions they ate, With
ersield being noted for its trade in
those bulbs. Fifty years ago the girl
who wished to clear her skin was told
to eat a large raw onion with salt be-
fore going to bed at night. Onions are
well-known preventive of scurvy,
and no ship bound for arctic regions
fails to include plenty of them among
her stores. Spring onions are best of
all, and stewed in cream or sliced raw
in vinegar will be found an excellent
aid to the digestion Whoever discov-
ers means of deodorizing the onion
will be a public benefactor.
Dandelion salad is a good diuretc,
and the good wives down south esteem
1t a duty to feed their families on tur-
nip tops i'm early spring in order to
purify and strengthen the blood.
The value of celery is well known as

injurious in some diseases.

Ole l1dUSOU, the SW6Ne WHO lives out
north of Denver, has found out by ac-
cident how it is that a tin clock or
watch painted and employed as a
watchmaker's sign always gives the
time of day Sis o'clock, or the hour
and minute of Lincolns assassination.
For the last year he has been regulat-
ing his Elgin by one of these silent
sentinels on SiXteenth-st, and when he
arrived the other morning he looked
at the sign and then at his watch.
There was a discrepancy somewhere,
so he called John Vaughan, the assist
ant city clerk, who happened to be

Il don't know anything about that,

The Swede was satisfied, and won

When the next covey is reached an
other bird is allowed to show his proW-
ess. Rarely will bird kill more than
one bird out of a covey, point that
the falconers use in answering their
critics who assert that the sport is a
cruel one, for say the falconers: I'VE
get great deal more sport than the
man who shoots birds, with less kill
ing than he considers necessary to a
successful day" But occasionally a
bird will kill two partridges from the
same covey. This was a feat accom-
plished by Black Lady recently, when,
after killing one bird, she was after
another like flash. The second one
she was eating when the falconers
came upon her. The first was caught
by the dogs, the blow of the Black
Lady having broken one of it's wings.
A good days sport with trained
birds will result in the bagging Of a
dozen partridges, not much of result
from a hunters point of view, but still
