Here Is a curious matrimonial story
A young and handsome engineer, COM

the acquaintance of good looking,
lively woman on the liner. They got
on well. and he told her a great deal
about himself. Among other things he
mentioned that he had at one time had
prospects OF wealth from distant
cousin. but the latter had married
again, and dying soon after, left all to
his widow. And l suppose you hate
the widow" inquired his new friend.
"Oh. no" replied the young man, laugh
ing. My parents did, but why should
I? l was quite boy at the time and
did not understand. l have always
been brought up to work and am doing
we'll. After all. mans wife Is more
to him than all his relations. l dare
say the old lady needs it more than ]
do, and she can't be going tc enjoy it
much longer" How old Is she?"
We'll. don't know exactly; l never
saw ner. but she must be decidedly
elderly. The old chap was old enough
to be my grandfather. He died ten
years ago. and he married some five
years before that" Ard you don't

In the course OF the voyage the &C
quaintance gradually ripened and the
result was al engagement. Then the

but young girl of I: Just gu: of the

THE REASON FOR CORNs.

The threatened cuticle over each new
papilla, instead of being rasped away,
as in the case of the barefooted savage
Is at first heaped up upon the surface
like one of the horny cones covering a
dogs paw. But being unable to get
any further in an outward direction, on
account of the unyielding boot, it presss-
es inward upon the tender and vascular
tissues of the papilla itself, and at
length penetrates them in the form of
an inverted cone Of corneous matter.
BY this time the sow-moving autocrat
of all the body whom we call a." and
who, as a rule, knows even less about
the workings of his remote frontier de-
partments than does the car of Russia
himself, finds it impossible to stand the
thing any longer, so he removes his
boot and takes the matter in hand
(more or less) secundum artem. But
whatever he may think or do, and how
ever much he may assert his sovereign
rights over his own eXtremities,~- he gets
no help or countenance whatever from
his staff or permanent officials, who OBJ
stinately and insoently continue to
make believe that their lord is still a
wild savage, running barefoot in the

| MISTAKES OF LAST YEAR.
! When asked as to the quality of to-
bacco raised at Poquonock last year, in
| the light of its use this spring by the
manufacturers, Mr. Floyd said IT
admit that we made a mistake in prim-
ing at Poquonook last year, and know
that it was primed too early. To guard
against this this year we have a man
here for assistance who has grown five
crops of tobacco under cover in Flori-
da. The crop he grew last year was
practically perfect, and / am confident
that the growers acting on our advice
this yea. VIII make no mistake as to
time of printing. The appearance of
tobacco grown under shade is entirely
different from that of tobacco grown
outside. Any one can tell when tobac-
co outside is ripe. Down in Florida
they f1oundered about and made mis-
takes as to time when the crop should
be taken in, but they made practice of
holding out samples of primings. and
by comparison could tell how the to-
bacco under shade looked when it was
ripe and fit for printing. If the tobac-
co grown on, the DuBon farm at Po-
quonock under cover last year had been
primed at the right time it would have

CONNECTICUT BARNS CRI
CISED.

Commenting upon. the difference in
methods between Florida and Connecti-
cut, Mr.. Floyd says that he thinks the
Florida barn is much superior to the
New England style. 1t is not so high
as a rule and broader. Mr.. Floyd's ex-
perence is that the farmers get more
damage from drying peat or hickory
burn than they do from mould. In a
wet season in Florida the barns can be
closed absolutely tight and with the
charcoal fires the interior can be thor
oughly dried out. In the dry season In
Connecticut the barns go up to tenn
perature of one hundred and twenty de-
grees in the day time, no matter If the
barns cooled off. For such reasons the
Florida barn is preferred by experts.
And some may be built in Connecticut
on that style before long.-Hartford

"IN A BALCONY
The -Robspn-LeMoyne Per-
fOrmance at the National

1t was rather curious dramatic ex-
| pertinent that was presented before a
| decidedly large and representative au-
! dience at the National Theatre last night
| by Liebler & Co., an enterprising firm of
theatrical managers, when they intro
duced a trio of able native actors in a
Browning play. That the experiment was
successful from a financial point of view
should satisfy the promoters of the
scheme that in homeopathic doses the
public is willing to accept plays that
might not be found at all to the liking of
| the average theatrical gathering if pre-
scribed in larger doses From the amount
of applause bestowed upon the actors, it
must be said that from an artistic stand
point too, the spectators deemed the per-
formance eminently satisfactory. For,
while during the recital of the long pas
sages of the Browning verse, so prolix
that they would drive the ordinary audi
ence to despair and to long for the final
drop of the curtain, last Il Jhts audience
seemed to find delight in every word,
every. expression, of the actors.
While in Balcony lacks action, ."
that quality that dramatists claim so es-
sential for the success of any production,
last nights gathering evidenced an in
tense interest in the development o9 the
story, which comes to a termination just
as 1t becomes apparent that real action"
is imminent. Reduced to its real ele-
ments, the piece consists of the state
mCnt and dissection of a series of con-
fictlng and complex emotions and the IL
lustration of a situation which is neither
effectively treated from the accepted dra-
matte standards and which is rendered
almost tedious before the end by the ex-
ceSsive subtlety with which it IS examined
and the great length of its development.
Otis Skinner and Mrs. lie Moyne are
seen at their very best in this Browning
product and this means that no two play
ers known to the native stage could do
more with the parts of Norbert and the
Queen. Eleanor Robson is the Constance

sesses a personality that is especially weH
acter and by her work of last night has
done much to increase her hold on the

three admirable players did a very notable
thing; they made the Browning text in
teligible to the audienCe-which in itself
is no small accomplishment-and further
they also made it dramatic, which is
something the most ardent lover of the
poet could not have hoped for
