the time, and on their arrival at home
it was discovered that one of the pieces
had passed through the front of the
house and entered his daughters bed

The piece weighs over. pound, and
looks as if it was part of cast-iron

been bored to make a cannon out of
it. The jagged edge is filled with wood
from the boards it passed through, and
Miss Hale is to be congratulated that
she was absent from her room at the

GABRIEL DUVALL.* s.
BY HOWARD SILL.

The following sketch of this eminent
Prince Georgian, of former days, taken
from a magazine called 'Ex Librs." will
be of interest to many OF our readers.
Mareen Duvall, the paternal Hugue-
not ancestor Of the Duvall family in
this country, cmigrated to Mary land,
it is supposed from the neighborhood
of Nantes, France. in about the middle
of the seventeenth century to escape
religious persecution. The exact date
of his arrival is not positively known,
but it was shortly after the first settle
ment of the Province. as his original
grant of land, laval" in Anne Arun-
del County, given by Lord Baltimore,
is dated August %, 1859 (this particu-
Jar tract was resurveyed September 8,
l16S. and called "Godwcll' or "Good-
will').
There appears to be little mention
OF the original Marecn in the early his
tory Of the Province, although find
that in the Archives of Maryland I'M
der "An Act tor payment and assessing
the Pulick charges of this Province"
tl6IS) his name appears among the
land owners of Anne Arundel County,
rs having been paid eighty pounds Of
tobacco advanced by him to the Prov
incc, there having been "Ei ght hundred
and twenty five thousand Nyne hun
dred seventy Nyne pounds of Tobacco
expended layed out and disbursed by
several Inhabitants of this Province in
the late EXpedicon against the \anti-
coke Indians and other necessary
charges of this Province which hath
been examined, stated and allowed by
the upper and lower house. Again in
November, 1858, in an act for the adj
vancement On trade, which names vari-
Gus locations, towns, ports, etc, where
the settlers can trade, import and ex-
port. he is mentioned as one of Tie
Commissioners from Anne Arundel

\ MONSTER HOG.

Ter county, O., was slaughtered on
March 9, weighing 1918 pounds. 1t
Wa raised and fattcned by John w
Kyle, and was three years and ten
days old. | have had long experience
in raising and slaughtering hogs, and
can say | never saw a better proper
toned or as we'll fattencd hog He
was of Poland-C China stock. His
measurement from nose to rumpN NaiD
was feet and inches; across the
back when standing up was feet 6

heart, near the fore legs, ! feet

split through the back | measured the
thickness ut the shoulders, II inches;
along the back, 10 inches: there were
6 inches Of fat and 4 inches of lean
meat.
On November 81 this hog weighed
$50 pounds, making gain of 445
pounds in lo5 days, or ~ pounds per
day, the largest gain on record. Dur
ing this period he ate forty ears Of
corn per day, and, as it takes about 100
average ears for bushel, the total
corn fed during the l05 days was forty
two bushels, making an average gain
of lO3-5 pounds gross weight per
bushel of corn. | have experimental
several years IN feeding hogs to learn
the gain in live weight per bushcl Of
corn. With the choicest selected hogs
and under the most favorable condi-
tions the gain was 10 pounds per bush
el
The net weight OF this hog was | 100
pounds, the loss being fraction less
than | per cent; the general average
loss from live to net weight ranges
from 10 to Is per cent on large and

SILNERWARE.

The low price Of silver metal tempts
honsekeepers to supply all their needs
in silver tableware, though there it no
prospect ofany advance and nothing
is to be gained by purchasing any
thing that is not strictly necessary at
present. Now that a liberal supply of
table silver is within reach of great
number of people we do not value it as
we once did. Articles of silver are
easily furnished and easily dented,
and cannot be as readily washed and
wiped as either glass or china can be.
Gas from coal stove and other impu-
rites in the air tarnish the purest sill
yer. 1t takes great deal of trouble
to clean silver and keep it bright and
shiny. 1t is for such reasons as these
that it has become the fancy to use
silver less than formerly, when it was
more costly. Fastidious housewives
prefer salad bowl in crystal or china
to one in silver, on account of the me-
tai being likely to be tarnished by the
ingredients of the salad. Glass or por-
celain pitchers are preferred for cream
or cold milk, but silver pitcher for
hot milk. \ fine dish of porcelain is
often preferred for butter to silver
butter dish. Tie old-fashioned swing
ing silver ice pitcher is often super
seeded by carafe of glass.
The best dinner knife is one of steel,
sometimes silvercd, but never of solid
silver. All spoons should be of solid
silver, and there is little probability of
these being superseded by anything
else. a porcelain cofleepot and tea
pot, however, are in better taste than
any of metal, even of precious metal
set with jewels, rs the ultra-fashiona-
bic taste of a few years ago sometimes
demanded
The proper care of silver begins
with the proper washing of it. If ia
bic silver is washed by itself in boiling
hot soapsuds and thoroughly rinsed
and dried each time it is used, it is
used, it will not need to be specially
polished oftcner than once 4 month. IT
the atmosphere of the house is free of
coal gas or any any impurities that
tarnish metal, silver may be hept for
long time without being specially pol
ished. Where spoon has come in
contact with boiled eggs or anything
that darkens silver, l. must be polish
ed frequently. A boiling hot solution
made Of four quarts of boiling water
and Il quarter Of 4 pound of sal soda is
of about the proper strength to clean
solver. Dip the silver in it and if the
stain is obstinate rub it well with Il
small piece of flannel or chamos skin
wrung out in it. Rinse the silver at
once after using the solution of soda,
first in hot soapsuds, then i'll clear wa
ter, and polish the silver dry with a
chamois or a clean linen dish towel.
The practice of using any small
brush convenient to polish silver is a
very bad one. Nothing but plate
brush is fit to use. If it is not posi-
bic to get one, substitute piece of
chamois skin or clean fclted flannel for
it.

TREES.

The tree has Il thousand tongues in
its talking leaves, yet none OF Ihcm ut
tcrs a discorll:lnt note, for they are all
as finely attuncd to the harmonious
speech as the Acolan harp, whose me
lodiouS cadcnccs rise and fall under
the breath of the passing breeze. The
great tree, when its figure bends and
sways in the wind, has alwaysa grace
full micn, which is more than can ht
said of many great men on the ros
trum. The dress of the tree, whether
in bud, bloom, foliage or fruit, whether
wearing the bright green of June, the
hectic hues of autumn or the austerc
majesty of winter, is never inharmoni-
Gus or not out of season; it offends
neither by its speech, its port, its mo-
tion or its garb. 1t is equally ap-
proved by the poetic eye of the artist
or the severely mathematical, cold, ac-
curate eye of the engineer The chill
dren love its shade. and so do the cat
tie. The statesman, the soldier, the
artisan, the trader. the farmer, and the
purposeless tramp, are all quick to
look up and smile their satisfaction at
the sight of noble tree, not because
they see it in ships and spars and fuel,
but because it is 4 prime factor in the
beauty that relieves and sottens the
stern or dull features of the earth
cold face of clay.
The tree is like the mighty sea that
in its mirth, its wrath or its calm, ar
rests the attention of high and low by
the majesty of its domain and the va
ricty of music that its vast, versatile,
million-piped organ sounds along its
shores. Nobody ever grows captious
in criticism at the sight OF great for
est or vast sea, for the voice, the mo-
ton, the music and the color are all so
harmonious that there is no fault or
blemish to offend the critics eye. SO
the lesson of tree includes among its
various speech the fine, imaginative.
thrilling appeal OF poem. The rev
erence felt by the Druid for the oak is
of kin to that felt by the Persian fire
worshipper for the sun. In England,
France and Germany trees are care
fully guarded against needless destuc-
ton, and England, by act of Parlia-
ment, goes so far rs to protect her com
mon wild primrose from wanton depre-
dation. We believe the town of Ply
mouth, Mass, protects by public ordi-
nance some of its wild flowers from reck-
less, wasteful collectors. 1t is hope
ful 81 ign of growing refinement and ripe
ness in our American people when they
are willing to protect their beautiful
woods and waters from premature de-
struction; when they begin to b.licve
that it will not spoil their children for
spare the trees, to cultivate and multi
ply hem.-Portlund Oreyoniun.

I;iIECIIER'S WISE ADVICE.

The advice once given to his son by
Henry Ward Bccchcr is deserving ol
high consideration 1t was as follows:
You must not 90 into debt. Avoid
debt as you would the devil: Make it
a fundamental rule: No debt-cash OF
nothing.
Make few promises. \ man who
means to keep his promise can not af
ford to make many.
Be scrupulousIy careful in all state
ments. Aim at accuracy and perfect
lrankncss, no gussworh-eithcr moth
inc or absolute truth.
When working for others sink your
self out of sight; seek their interest.
Make yourself necessary to those who
employ You by industry, fidelity and
scrupulous integrity. Scltishness is
fatal.
Hold yourself responsible for high
cr standard than anybody expects OF
you. Keep your own standard high.
Never excuse yourself to yourself.
Never pity yourself. BE 4 hard mas
ter to yourself, he lenicnt to every,
body else.
Concentrate your forces on your
own business do not turn of. BE
constant, stcaliast, pcrscvcring.
1t is said the lawyers who pushed
the French spoliation claims through
Congress are to get 81 ,0OO, 600 OF the
amount. And it may be added that
they have earned the same.
