HaIevy and the Due de Morny.

1t may not be generally known IN
what circumstances Halevy owed his
advancement in the French civil serv-
Ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an
amateur of the arts, had begun to write
the libretto of a comic opera Of which
Offenbach was to provide the music.
He found that he had not the time-or
perhaps that he had not the talent-to
finish it. He sought collaboration. and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret. When, therefore. the Office
of the ministry Of Algeria, which he
held. was suppressed he had no hesita-
ton in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought Oh the Journal
Of1ciel. "The very thing" exclaimed
the duke. "There is six months vaca-
ton when the chamber Is not sitting.

to write for the stage" And he gave

ment. consisting of the simple words.

HOW TO PACK BERRIES.

liberal space. If you have simply q
town or city lot, make the most of this
small plot Of ground at your disposal,
remembering that by cutting back the
new growth every year on the fruit
trees many Of them can be grown In
small space or on the borders near
fences
You may have one row devoted to
grapevines, another row to raspber-
ries, another row to blackberries, an
other to currants and several rows de-
voted to strawberries, each row run
ming the whole length Of the fruit gar
den and so planted as to admit of
horse cultivation. The disposal Of the
rows of apple, peach, pear, plum and
cherry trees can be easily arranged.
Plant the rows of trees far enough
apart to admit the various rows of
small fruits between the rows Of trees.
Grapevines will thrive equally well
when trained to the side Of the house
or to any other building or trained to
the pillars of the porches Of the house.
If there is a surplus Of fruit 1t may
be easily marketed. If sent to the city
1t must be carefully packed. The crate
shown in the sketch is equipped with a
tight wooden cover. yet Is sufficiently
open to allow the air to circulate. 1t
will hold about sixty quarts of ber-
ries.

Unwjse Combination,


To the mind of Mrs. Abigail Jen-
nings there was sort of disloyalty IN
admitting to any outsider that native
Of Willowby could be really eccentric.
AS for anything beyond eccentricity,
Mrs. Jennings would never have ad-
mitted 1t, even In the case of Miss
Rachel Gregg, who was frankly called
crazy by the summer visitors.
"Now, Mrs. jennings" said one of
the boarders, do you really mean that
you've never known Miss Gregg to do
anything that you'd call crazy?"
"No, haven't" said Mrs. Jennings,
with firm and unyielding expression
about her prominent chin.
"Why. what do you think of her
sending that bag of eggs over to the
Corners to Mrs. Cole right in the box
with her laundry work and never tell
Ing the stage driver and letting him
throw the box right Off" inquired the
summer boarder. "Mrs. Cole says
there's one shirt waist she'll never be
able to wear again."
"Well," said Mrs. Jennings calmly.
81 should say about that as I have
about a number Of little things Rachel
does and has done. She may lack in
wisdom and forethought now and
again. But, then, who doesn't. I'd like

n Treatment That sometimes VIII
Cure an Infected Animal.
The following is the standard treat
ment for lump jaw on cattle: If there
be an opening in the tumor or swelling,
inject into the opening about one tea
spoonful of tincture of iodine daily. II
there is no opening, rub the tipcture
on the skin daily, or it may be injected
with hypodermic syringe. Continue
the treatment until 1t Is evident that
the growth of the tumor has stopped.
If willing to give up the use of the
cow as a mixer until she is cured, you
may also, in addition to the treatment
above prescribed, give her one and a
half to two and half teaspoOnfuls OF
i0dide Of potassium divided into two
doses, one in the morning and one at
night, to be given in a pint of warm
water. Continue this for two weeks
or until signs of iodism appear, such
as scurfy skin, weeping at the eyes
and dribbling from the nose and
mouth. Then discontinue for week
or ten days and commence again II

The iodide Of potassium will render
the milk unfit for use. Continue to milk
her regularly, however, and throw the
milk away, as she may be cured In a
few weeks, and then her milk will be
all right The disease itself does not
render the milk unfit for use unless
the cow is in the last stages, where
the general health Of the cow will be
impaired.

Two Readings.

Two Readings.
A young farmer who had great con-
ceit, little discretion and scarcely any
education presented himself once at a
Presbyterian conference and said he
wished to be ordained as a preacher.
81 amt had any great learnin'," he
said frankly, "but 1 reckon I'm called
to preach. I've had vision three
nights runnin'. That's why I'm here"
"What was your visionY' inquired
one Of the elders.
"Well, I dreamt I see a big, round
ring in the sky, an in the middle of 1t
was two great letters-P. G. l knew
that meant Presbyterian Conference,
an here 1 am"
There was an uncomfortable pause,
which was broken by an elder who
knew the young man and was well
acquainted with the poverty Of his
family and the neglected conditions
Of their farm. 81 haven't any gift at
reading Visions" said the old man
gravely as he rose from his seat, "but
I'd like to put it to my young friend

The Polite Stranger.


Some years ago while the late Bish-
op Clark of Rhode Island was attend
ing a lecture in Boston he observed a
man sitting three seats in front whom
he thought he knew. He requested
the person sitting next to him to
punch" the other individual with his
umbrella. The polite stranger did So,
and, the disturbed person turning his
head a little, Bishop Clark discovered
it was not the person he supposed.
Fixing his attention steadfastly on the
lecturer and affecting Inconsistencies
Of the whole affair, he left the man
with the umbrella to settle with the
other. There was ludicrous and en-
barrassing scene, during all of which
Bishop Clark was profoundly interest
ed in the lecture. At last the man
with the umbrella asked Indignantly,

son with my umbrellap' EYES,"

as Well as Useful.
The home fruit garden is not only
attractive when the strawberries are
in bloom or in fruiting or when the
raspberries, currants, pears, peaches or
other fruits are ready to pick. The
home garden is ever an attractive spot.
No member of the family, no visitor or
other person can pass this garden de-
voted to the growing Of the various
fruits for home use without being at
tracted to 1t. Such home fruit gar
den expresses much to the observer at
all seasons Of the year. 1t speaks OF
contentment, Of health and Of the home
table embellished with beautiful and
delicious specimens Of large and small
fruits.
The location of the home fruit gar
den should be as near the dwelling as
possible. 1t may embrace an acre. half
an acre, quarter of an acre or 1t may
be confined to the rear end Of forty
foot lot in town or city. II you have

Wounds In Front.

A New Englander recently had occa-
sion to engage a gardener. One morn.
ing two applicants appeared, one de
cidedly decent looking man and the
other of much less prepossessing ap-
pearance and manner.
After very little hesitation the man
Of the house chose the latter applicant
A friend who was present evinced
surprise at the selection, asking:
-Has that man ever worked for you
beforeP
"No," replied the other. "In fact,
never saw either of them before to-
day"
''Then why did you choose the short
er man? The other had a much better
face"
~.Facev explained the proprietor of
the place in disgust. "Let me tell you
that when you pick out gardener you
want to go by his overalls. If they're
patched on the knees, you want him;
If the patch is on the seat of the trou-
sers, you on't."-Success.
