Houston Girl Scores Great Success IN

Helena LEVIN. a Texas girl is one Of
the latest of the American Invaders" To
make an impress on HuSic-luving Ger
many. After four years of study in Bcr-
lin. supplemontiug her work since child
hood at her home, she made her prOfc>-
sOnal debut and scored n distinct sue
cess, which she has aCCentuutcd since by
her concerts SO favorable were the
criticisms that she has been offered "A
number Of professional engagements in
Europe, which would occupy three years
but she has declined them to accept an
invitation from Prof. DanrOSch to play
in New York at his spring festival next
April. She has been the pupil Of GoluW-
ski and has studied composition under
Stillman Kelly, an American who has
added to his reputation by his work in
this country. After her first appearance
on the public stage in Berlin she gave,
by request last fall concerts at HON
burg, Baden Baden and Bad-Nauhcim.
at each of which She vas cnthuSiastical-
ly received. Tier concert i'll Berlin at the
end of last month attracted much atteu-
ton from the masters, and they declared
that the brilliant promise of her early
years is being we'll fulfilled. She has i
repertoire of extraordinary length ana
variety, considering her youth-shc is in
her twenties-and few women students
have had the reception that has been ac-
corded her. Her technique has been pro-
nounced almost tlawleSs, her execution
brilliant and sentimental. The young
woman is from Houston. where her FAM.

After collection in n certain colored

the minister to deposit the offerings in

only to themselves.
Despite these precautions. 1t was found
that small sums Of money We're being

was n conference between the two.
Joseph" said the minister sternly,
"some one is taking church money from
the box. and you know that no one
has access to it but you and myself"

Continuation of Colony House

During the dull season our local lum'
Der dealer and his assistant built some
portable colony poultry-houses as 1o''

of Orange Judd Farmer: The frame IS
securely bolted to the sills, when are
made sled-runner style. The walls are
made from closely-htted tongue and
groove drop-siding The floors are
tight, and the ventilators covered with
screen wire to keep out rats, weasels'
etc; the cover is roofing felt. Each
house is painted. The size Is 6 by 5
feet: 6 feet high in front and 4 at the
back They cost me Sl5 each Tor all

could be built for less in places where
lumber IS cheaper.

Profit I'm Crop Rotation.

Farmers in lower Delaware are
greatly interested in an experiment
just concluded by Capt. William r.
Lark, who has thoroughly proven the
advantage OF the rotation OF crops on
a four-acre field. Last spring he ma
nured the four acres, which had been
in corn the previous year The manure
was plowed under. the ground well
narrowed and peas drilled in. The
crop grew well, and in June the peas
were sold at net profit of 1872.
AS soon as the peas were removed,
plows again turned the soil over and 1t
was planted with corn. From this
fine crop of fodder was saved,
yielding a net profit of 500. The
ground now has q fine set Of scarlet
clover on 1t, the seed having been
sown at the last narrowing OF the
corn, with every indication OF SAC
worth Of clover hay in the spring and
a constant improvement to the land.

Keeping Up Spraying Fight.

not be dropped with the harvesting Of
the fruit crops. 1t cannot be hoped
that you have, by your spraying opera

all the scale insects and fungi, and
doubtless during the press OF work
on the farm during the midsummer
season the matter viii have been neg

To Boil Vegetables.

When boiling vegetables be sure the
water is at boiling point before putting
in the vegetables to be cooked. If 1t
is cold or lukewarm the freshness and
flavor will cook out into the water.
Place the saucepan over the hottest
part Of the stove. so that it will boil as
quickly as possible, and be careful that
the boiling does not cease until the
contents are thoroughly cooked and
ready to be dished
