Miss Annie White, whose appoint
ment as stenographer of the Superior
Civil Court for Suffolk County, Mass,
few years ago attracted considerable
notice, recently resigned her position,
married Mr.. Charles Bartlett, prom
inent lawyer of Boston, [aud with him
has gone abroad for several months.
Miss White was an expert in her pro-
fession. Her position was worth $4,000
per year, with summer vacation of
three months, and she filled it with
unusual ability. 1t will be of interest
to those who believe that business
life renders a woman unattractive to
learn that the acquaintance which
ripened into marriage began in the
court where Miss White was employed.

AGRICULTURAL TOPICS.



There is something about lard
scraps, or the refuse which remains
after the fat is tried out of lard, that
makes them especially liked by hens
in cold weather. They are very warm
ing and very fattening, so that not
much should be given at time. But
they will redden fowls combs and set
them to laying in cold weather when
no other feed will do so.
Milk as Food on the Farm.
To every city resident one of the
advantages of living in the country is
that those living there can easily
secure fresh and pure milk directly
from the COW. 1t is most valuable
food product, whether used directly
as milk or cooked in custards and
cakes, in the various ways that milk
and crenm can be used. Probably
most housewives who have lived in
the country find when they remove to
the city that the absence of the best
milk and cream which they used to
have in abundance was stronger
handicap to successful cooking than
anything else. At the Wholesale prices
that are all that milk producers can
geb for milk it is a much cheaper food
than any other that comes on their
tables. If farmers ate more of their
milk product they would be better off
physically as we'll as financially.
Whist they then sold would probably
bring as much as does the larger por-
tion that they sell now.

COWS or mares that are breeding. If
there is ergot in the rye from which

SAVING GRACE CT A HoGay:

Il Ee"ivcs Hope and Enthusiasm a:.l
Makes Life Worth Living.
"a priceless thing is hobby. Tie
ti@liy tasks b. which hosts of women
support life are favorless, barren, al
most hopeless. To such ones IA hobby
may offer the dearest hopes of ultimate
freedom from the unwelcome daily task.
1t will at any rate serve to entertain
and give point and flavor to an other
wise blank existence" is the position
taken by Carrie E. Garrett discussing
"Woman's Dreams and Hobbies" in
The Woman's Home Companion.
"Hobbies have the power to concen-
trate and absorb the scattered energies
which might otherwise be expended in
purposeless firtations, building super
fuous bonnets, reading cheap sensations,
gossiping away precious moments, pick
ing out our friends foibles, dissecting
our own emotions and wishing vaguely
for everything which is attainable. II
the hobby did nothing else but prevent
these frivolities, it would be a boon to
humanity.
"Man found out the value Of hobbies
long ago. Almost every man who h
good for anything has purpose which
he thinks is quite the most magnificent
one which man could pursue. It is no
matter whether it is lawmaking, pill
making or shoemaking, he pursues il
with absorbing enthusiasm and strives
to make the best laws or pills or shoes

enough to merely look pretty; that love
cannot be her whole existence (the

Train STONED by Insects.

A peculiar incident occurred short
time ago to a Scotch express, which
really caps the story of the mouse
which got into the brake apparatus of
a train and soon brought it to COM
plete standstill.
While on a steep incline mile or so
from Invershin, the train suddenly
slowed up and eventually stopped. Az
ter an examination it transpired that
myriads of midges had been swarming
near the ground, and being crushed by
the wheels OF the train. had left the
rails in very Shiny condition, pre-
venting the engine from gripping the
rails, and SO stopping it. Although
several lodges were tried, among them
that of throwing earth along the line,
the train was unable to proceed until
it was divided into sections and drawn
up the incline pieeemeal. This Incl
dent caused a delay of nearly an hour.

AS Signor Romanin-Iacur, a well

were going toward Grossetto the other
day for the purpose of inspecting a
newly constructed aqueduct they sud-
denly met a man, dressed like hunts
man, who levelled his rifle at them
and ordered them to halt. They obeyed,
whereupon the brigand commanded
them to empty their pockets. Strange
to say not one Of them made the least
resistance, and as result the brigand
obtained few thousand francs, Dep

fearless robber disappeared, and no
trace of him has since been found. On

proprietor was stabbed and robbed by a

killed, wounded and missing approached

July Fourth of this year was celebrated
with great enthusiasm. Local members

rear of the First Presbyterian Church,
netting over $500 for the cause.
From August to September s much
interest was taken in local circles in the

sherman,s Ample supply Of whisky

George A.Sheridan, after one of his
campaigning tours in Ohio, told story
of his experience with John Sherman.
1--WE had been making speeches at
Xenia one wet, cold night" said Sheri-
dan, "and on our way back to the hotel
Senator Sherman said: Sheridan, l be-
lieve a little whiskey is necessity for
us to prevent contracting colds It is
almost needless to say that I agreed
with him and expressed my regret that
had none with me. Don't worry about
that said the senator, 4 have an am
pie supply. We will go to my room
and get it, We went to Senator Sher-
mans room and he produced from his
va1ise a four-ounce vial of whiskey and
teaspoon. Pouring out teaspoonful
he handed it over to me to take it, as
he had no doubt needed 1t. After
had INDUCED in one spoonful Sherman
took a spoonful himself, recorked the
little bottle and returned it to his
yalise. Surely, there is one man who
considers whiskey medicine and not
a beverage"

Ehe Hoecake is Fast Disappearing
From Southern Tables.

The Hoecake is Fast Disappearing
From Southern Tables.
Most middle-aged persons remember
well when corn bread was served upon
Aearly all tables in the south and west
ct least twice day. Sometimes it ap-
eeared in the form of 'shoecake" or
ssbatter bread" and again in "pones."
Ct was par excellence the bread of the
negro, and every man who served in
Che Confederate army was also full
graduate in the use of it. Now the
&arlies eschew it where wheat bread is
TO be obtained, and upon the tables of
thousands of southern and western
whites 1t never appears at all. while
others continue to use it only for din
Aer.
Now, why is this? Surely corn meal
b as it ever was Those who sincerely,
but probably mistakenly, believe that
@Water-ground meal is better than the
product of mills turned by steam can
always find supply of that in most
cities, and it is common enough in the
country. There is no trouble about the
meal; but we doubt whether the art Of
cooking it has been preserved. The
heightened colored damsels who are
turned out by our public schools are
not the adopts that our old Aunt Di-
nahs and Aunt Peggys were. No self
respecting pan of dough would be con-
5ured into shape by such unskilled
hands And then we may seriously
doubt whether corn bread can be cook
ed in stove as well as in an open fire.
place.
The Indians laid their doughcakes
between layers of forest leaves or upon
the hard ground, and cooked them in
the hot ashes. Hence ash cake" a very
luscious product, indeed, when one has
whetted his appetite for it by long
days hunting. The hoecake was so
called because it was originally baked
upon hoe-that ever-ready and useful
instrument of agriculture which is to
be found upon every plantation. But
later on cooking utensils were manu-
featured which took the place of the
humble hoe So, too, shingles were
used whereupon to place the dough
while it went through the process of
becoming a well-done ash cake.

What 'Sing Song of Six Pence Means.
You all know the rhyme, but have
you ever heard what it really means?
The ur-and-twenty blackbirds
represented the twenty-four hours. The
bottom of the pie is the world, while
the top crust is the sky that over
arches it. The opening of the pie is the
day dawn, when the birds begin to
sing, and surely such sight is fit for
a King.
The King, who is represented as sit
ting in his parlor counting out his
money, is the sun, while the gold pieces
that slip through his fingers, as he
counts them, are the golden sunbeams.
The Queen, who sits in the dark
kitchen, is the moon. and the honey
with which she regales herself is the
moonlight
The industrious maid, who is in the
garden at work before the King--the
sun has risen, is day-dawn, and the
clothes she hangs out are the clouds.
The birds who, so tragically, end the
song by "nipping off her nose" is the
sunset. So we have the whole day, If
not in nutshell, in pie.
