Empty Praise.


To little men and women of the lit
erary profession, the poetasters and
witlings, there ought to be something
instructive in this word from Thack-
cray, quoted by his daughter, Mrs.
Ritchie. After reading such an esti-
mate of notoriety bya man truly great,
the minnows may we'll consider
whether they are not swimming too
pretentiously.
''There's no use denying the matter,
or blinking at it, now L am become a
sort of great man, i'll my way-all but
at the top of the tree, indeed there, if
the truth were known, and having a
great fight up there with Dickens.
81 get such deal of praise wher-
ever go that it is rather wearisome
to hear. I don't think my head is a
bit turned, please God, for have al
ways got my own opinion; and when
men and newspapers say, Our sheet
is the finest, and so forth, I know a
deal better, and don't disguise the
truth, either.
This London world is full oi
good-natured tom-fools, and directly
one begins to cry 'Oh!' all the rest
say, 'Prodigious!'"

We have had the German Emperor
from many points of view, even from
that of his barber. The latest pen
portrait is that of the shorthand writer.
William H.. since he assembled the
throne, has always had shorthand re-
porter in attendance to take verba-
tim note of his speeches, and Herr
Karl Hempel has frequently acted in
that capacity. In sketch Of his sub
ject he says that the Kaiser is easy to
report, for his voice is strong and his
articulation distinct. He only be-
comes difficult when he gets excited,
and on such occasions, though his
pronunciation is clear, he speaks with
lightning rapidity. Moreover, he has
an awkward trick at such times of
jerking out detached sentences. For
the first time in his career the EN-
peror omitted to take with him an Of
fetal shorthand writer to the Holy
Land, but he availed himself of the
services of Herr Dyck, German jour
nalist established in Jerusalem

over on the left side, where the
placket is finished at the top. A centre
scanned back joins the two circular
portions. The top is fitted smoothly
around the hips by darts taken up at
the waist and the fulness in back is
disposed by backward turning plaits
that meet closely over the centre

On Fattening TURKEYS.

From the Farmers Review:-While
this will be too late for use for this
Thanksgiving market, the hints given
may be used for the Xmas and New
Years market. To begin with our
turkeys are not standard bred, but are
nice large turkeys of the bronze type
The hens were three years old last
spring, the gobbler was a young tur-
key, decidedly no relation, the eggs
all hatched, and the turkeys were
healthy from the start and have not
been stinted on account of lice, disease
or lack of food. They have had free
range since they became large enough
to fly over fifteen-inch board.
They were fed bread made of two
thirds corn meal, one-third wheat
bran, mixed with milk, salt and soda
to taste, added, the whole baked until
done; this with milk curds was their
feed for the first seven weeks, after
that we fed crushed or cracked corn
as an evening feed for three or four
weeks longer, then all cracked corn
for week or two, then whole corn. 1t
