STRANGE FOOD OF AMERICANS
An English Woman Tells Her Coun-
trywOmen About What She
Ate while Here.

An English woman who visited Amer
lea a short time ago has been t( og
her countrywomen about the strange
food across the water" Of course she
discovered green corn, but she had
been quite prepared for that. Oyster
crabs were cutie new to her.
"Thcy lcck like Boston bahri scans
sAc explains, "but they taste much bet
ter"
An oyster cocktail filled her with awe
and enthusiasm. She tried it at Del
monico's and thought it was soup. VI
course, in England. one didn't serve
soup in a glass, but then neither did
the English serve boiled eggs in glass.
One could never be sure of Americans.
OF canvas back duck she has poor
opinion. but thinks she might like it
better if, Americans would have 1t
cooked, or even warmed. AS for terra
pin. she sings its praise. She found it
much like calf's head, and she always
liked calf's head. Shades Of Mary
land gourmets, what a slur is there.
"All the buildings in America are
pie or ice cream" she says, bat it must
be understood that pie does not mean
game pie. The Yankee pie is tart and
is ubiquit GUS, she explains
She sat next to an American man
who ate lump Of cheese with hia
strawberry pie and turned plateful
of ice cream over both, but she doesn't
know that that is general custom.
The oysters were good, but had most
impossible names, and the cookies
meaning clans, are excellent. On the
whole Yankee food and cooking are
good, but there is too much food on
the table at one time.

CHILD BossEo The DIAMOND.
How n Seven-Yenr-OId Boy UmDired
n Game Between Men
Players.

Out at the Y. NJ. C.. A. grounds in
west Philadelphia recently two base
ball teams composed of grown men
some of them old enough, one would
think, to have more serious things
to do, were struggling for supremacy.
1t was not a particularly scientific
game-indeed, it was often ludicrous,
and the star performer was the UNI
pire.
He was little "Joe" CraddOck,
scarcely larger than a three-cent
piece, and about knee-high to a grass
hopper. The little fellow is only
seven years old and looks younger,
but he had all the gesture and man
ners of the professional umpire down
pat. Moreover, he knew all the in
tricate points of the game and gave
his decisions in a shrill, piping and
vet officially stern voice.
1t was laughable, says the Phila-
delphia Record, to see some of the
players, when a close decision would
be given, fly into a rage and holly
argue with the midget umpire. In
their excitement they seemed to lose
sight of the humor of the SITUATION
but when the little fellow would ma
iestically order them off the field, the
few spectators would roar with
laughter. The players themselves
didn't see anything funny in it until
the game was over and they had
a chance to think about it.

NOSE INDICATES CHARACTER
Do Not Complain IL You Have Big
One, for That's the Very
Best Kind.

A large nose Is always an unfaillng
sign of a decided character, writes
Blanche w. Fischer, in an article on
Reading Character from the Face
in Ladies' Home Journal. ut belongs
to the man of action, quick to see and
to seize opportunity. A small nose
indicates a passive nature, one less
apt to act, although he may feel as
deeply. He will have many theories,
while the possessor of large nose
will have deeds to show. Persons
with small noses are most loving and
sympathizing, but their friendship is
not the active kind.
A nose with the tip slightly tilted
is the sign of the heartless firt. A
long nose shows dignity and repose'
A short nose, pugnaoity and a love
of gayety. An arched nose-one pro-
iecting at the bridge-shows thought
A straight nose shows an inclination
toward serious subjects. A nose that

DIGNITY OF FARMING.
In All the World There Is No NObIeP
or More Learned Calling Than
That of Agriculture.

Within recent years it has come to
be acknowledged that the vocation OF
the farmer isthe most dignified of all
the sciences and as an art it is eX-
celled only by those of painting and
architecture. In its highest forms 1t
IS the most learned of all professions.
A knowledge of geology and chem S
try and their relations to the soils
lies at the very foundation of scien-
tific agriculture. The problems that
arise from the complex nature of the
soils and their origin require the
best thought of the best minds to
solve. More educated young men
should be farmers. Agriculture opens
wide field leading to influence and
power, one, too, that is not filled to
repletion. 1t holds forth the most
splendid promises to young men OF
ambition. 1t is filled with liberaliz-
ing tendencies, noble conservation
and the most healthful and invigorat-
ing influences. The day is not far
distant when agriculture will attract
men of the largest capacity and the
highest executive ability, and b. re-
garded as the greatest of all the pro-
fessions. Let anyone who is familiar
with what agriculture was a hundred
years ago compare its condition
then with what it is to-day and he
will search in vain for the same pro-
portionate elevation and progress
among it's followers in any other
branch of human industry. Many OF
those engaged in agriculture now are
men of high elevation and broad
reading. Many of them have extern
sive and valuable Libraries and take
numerous journals devoted to their
business. Agriculture moves along in
its own quiet, dignifed, but irresisti-
BILE way. It. has no booms, so to
speak, but it gathers strength with
each decade and with every accession
of knowledge. and will forever be the
most important branch of human in
dustry and the greatest necessity for
the human race.
If the young men who are measur-
ing tape and laces would surrender
their work to the young girls who
are seeking employment and turn
their attention to the pursuits of ag-
riculture there would be less misery
and more contentment in the land;
there would be more independence
and less servility; more men and few
err creatures; more happy wives with
comfortable homes, healthful chill
dren and cheerful tempers. a woman
surrounded by all the active agencies
of a well-kept farm AID living in
beautiful country home with toun-
dations and flowers and sweet ever
green's" has those environments that
develop the sweetest graces and high
est impulses of her nature and make
her virtues shine respondent above
the world of frivolity and fashion. She
become true woman, the happlest
of wives and the best of mothers.
Such home and such wife realize
our highest ideals of human happl-
ness II is a home where intelh-
gence reigns and ennobles work and
work crowns intelligence with honor
and profit.
A Young man who is in search of an
easy place, with no responsibility
will never be a master and will never
control others. He who selects yo-
cation because it is easy is already eff
feminate.-Southern Farm Magazine;

CHEAP SHED FOR POULTRY.

complete until equipped with some
sort of scratching shed, of which the
one presented in the accompanying
cut will serve the purpose admirably
the more, as it is not only available
for the winter season, but also during
transforms at other periods of the
year.
The cost of its construction is very
small, since no floor need be laid in
it. It's value, nevertheless, can hardly
be estimated 1t is just the thing for
the practical farm poulterer to have,
for it constitutes a most convenient
roosting place for growing chicks dur
ing the summer. The front can be
furnished with a frame, covered with
cotton cloth, fitted to the.opening and
hinged at the top, to be let down at
night in warm weather if desired, or
on stormy days in winter, when snow
would be likely to blow in if the shed
were left open. This makes it very
complete, indeed.-Frederick o. Sib-
ley, in n. Y. Tribune.

SERVED GEN. JACKSON.
Death of Alfred Jackson, the Oldest
Servant Who Saw the Pres
ident Die.

A picturesque character of the south
has just passed away in Alfred Jack
son, the body servant of President An
drew Jackson, relates the New York
Sun. He was 90 years old and his death
removed the last of the family Of serv-
ants of the celebrated Hermitage I'M
der it's first master.
The reputation of Uncle Alfred" as
he was known to thousands, is national.
For years he had been the most inter-
esting figure at the Hermitage, where
he had lived almost century. He waI
born on the Hermitage farm soon after
Gen. Jackson made that beautiful spot
his home. When the civil war broke
out he and his wife, Gracey, alone OF
the servants, stayed with their mis-
tress, never leaving the place for an
hour.
In the lifetime of Gen. Jackson the
old darby was one of the most favored
servants, and when the great man
passed away Alfred was at his bedside.
His chief Characteristic was always his
extreme loyalty to Gen. Jackson. 9th
er men attained to some sort of reputa-
ton, but none-to him-ever reached
the generals pinnacle of fame. When
Alfred was presented to eX-President
Rutherford b. Hayes he merely said:
"Ef you had been as great man as
Ginral jackson l could most shake yo'
hand off"
The old servants greatest desire was
to be buried in the garden near the last
resting place of his former master, his
ideal of all greatness, and he has his
wish. He has been buried just north of
the tomb of Gen. Jackson, the Ladies'
Hermitage association directing this.

1t is impossible and even absurd for
hens to lay well, no matter how much
they are fed, unless they are so situat-
ed that they can obtain plenty of ex-
crcise. They were originally endowed
by nature with the power of fight,
and to keep them at any time strictly
confined is cruel. They should certain
ly have the opportunity to use their
feet, if not always their wings, and for
this reason no poultry house is really

The BIRD Question Again.

1t is estimated that we have nearly 50
per cent. less birds than we used to
have. The robin, song sparrows and
all other kinds of domestic birds, if
they may be so called, have been sacri-
feed to make ornaments for the ladies'
bonnets. But for every bird thus killed
we have paid the penalty. Amyriad Of
worms has descended to punish us for
our cruelty. Laws are being enacted
against shooting the birds, but the
most powerful weapon is the worm. 1t
will do more to educate us than whole
books full Of laws.-Farm Journal.

wit and Imagination. If turned up
much it shows egotism and love OF
luxury. A nose that slopes out direct
" from the forehead, that shows no
indenting between the eyes, indicates
power. If the nose is indented deep
" at the root the subject will be weak
and vacillating. A nose that turns
down signifies that the possessor Is

EMPEROR william 1. Relics.

The palace of Emperor William I. in
Berlin has been kept in the condition
in which he left it. In the bedroom
there is still the simple iron bedstead
on which he always Slept and on which
he died. 1t is suggestive of mis- simple
tastes in all respects. His economical
habits are illustrated by the fact that
when, in his old age, the physicians adj
yised him to drink glass of cham
payne at his lunch, the emperor always
had the bottle corked and the remain
