Angelo Cortese Wednesday Night.

As announced last week, Angelo Cortese, harpist, member of the Memphis Symphony Orchestra, ap- peared in this city "Wednesday night at the residence of Mir. and Mrs. Edward Rnleson, under the auspices of the Monday Musical Club, an organization composed of several of tie talented music loving young wo- men of the city, and was greeted by an enthusiastic and appreciatiye audience that taxed the seating capacity of the spacious and beauti- ful home. MT, CorteSe has an almost world wide reputation, as master of his instrument. and 1t is the unani- nous opinion Of those who heard him
 Wednesday night. that his most ar dent critics have done him no more than bare justice in their most lavish reviews of his work. the program rendered at that time being an eX- ceptionally beautiful one, and his execution complete mastery of his instrument, cast charm over the hearers. who sat entranced under the spell of the music.

"BAck" TO FORTY ACRES.

The following dispatch from Lenox
Mass, to the New York Herald, is
significant of a radical change in
American agriculture:
mir George Westinghouse, Jr., the
other day bought of Mr.. John Sedg
wick his forty-acre farm near the
Greenock Country Club in Lee. Mr.
and Mrs Westinghouse will go there
to live the last of October.
"Mr. Westinghouse has given up his
position in Pittsburg and will devote
his entire time to scientific farming
in the Berkshires. 1t is understood
that Mrs. Westinghouse never liked
Pittsburg for residence, and is much
pleased with the idea of living in the
hills"
AS late as the civil war forty acres
and a mule" was considered enough
land for "round-log-cabin" and a
negro family to occupy. AS a change
from quarters" and slavery forty
acres and a mule" was alluring But
no occupant of the manor house
thought of life upon a forty-acre plan
tation. A gentleman needed, for lib
eral living and an income sufficient
to send the girls to boarding school
and the boys to college 400 rather than
forty acres. For dignity in the com
munity he needed 1000 at least And
there are still in Kentucky few farm
houses upon tracts of several thousand
acres each.
The days of old-fashioned farming
were good enough days for the own
ers of large tracts of land. They
weren't bad days for owners of small
er tracts. But the time for the own
ership of very large farms, save by
men of considerable wealth, is pass
ing. And the time has come when
forty acres and mule" or forty
acres and a team, in the hands of a
scientific farmer, may produce good
income. 1t is not SO easy to direct
scientific farming operations as it was
to tell the overseer to put the land in
the valley in corn, the uplands in
wheat or tobacco, and let the hogs
range in the woods and eat mast"
till time to harden them by feeding
them corn in the fattening pen. But
land farmed scientifically accommo-
dates a population several times as
large as it accommodated when it was
worked by old-fashioned methods And
in America. as in older countries, un-
fenced range for cattle, requiring
many acres to a steer and unscientific-
ally cultivated farms requiring 1000
acres for a gentleman and forty acres
for freed slave, are out of date.
Whether Mr.. Westinghouse is
practical farmer or an agricultural
ist" in the humorous sense, remains
to be seen. but in the days of his
granddaddy forty acres in the Berk-
shires or elsewhere would have been
enough for a country house, lawn.
garden and COW pasture. 1t would
not have been regarded as a farm

TOPICS OF THE HOUSEHOLD.

In an exhibition of hand carving
and other arts and crafts work, a
small settle, made to hide the I'M
sightliness of steamer trunk in a
small studio or other narrow quarters,
excites as much interest as anything
in the place. The settle has a
straight back and the side pieces that
connect it with the front are cut off
to slant sharply from the seat to each
side of the back, making cosy cor
ner at each end against which to rest.
small oriental rug over the back,
another across the seat falling down
over the front with a couple of har-
monious pillows shows the settle off
to advantage.
set of cookie cutters in card
suite shapes is a convenience for the
woman who gives card parties. Any
good recipe for cookies may be used
and the cakes after baking may be
frosted and marked in spots with
chocolate or colored icing. Little col
ored candies are sometimes more con-
venient.
To vary the lemon jelly, as soon as
II begins to thicken whip it with a
revolving beater, turn in cupful of
shredded canned pineapple for every
pint of the Jelly, and then fold in a
cupful of cream that has been beaten
stiff and dry. If very attractive
dish is wanted, stiffen the jelly in a
mold mad turn 1t out in mold shape
surround it with whipped cream and
dot the cream with cher1es.
