FIRM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. The Potato and Iti Recjniraments. It is very generally conceded that a clover soil is admirably adapted to the growth of a potato crop, producing tu tors of excellent flavor and those least liable to disease. A slightly sandy soil, inclining to be dry rather than wet, fur nishes potatoes of good quality. A cal careous soil produces a fair grade of tu bers and generally a sure crop. Bin crops of potatoes can be grown on low mucky land provided it is properly drained, but the presence of a large quantity of organic matter tells upon the quality of the roots. Heavy soils induce a watery insipidity of flavor, and render a dry, mealy product impossible. Wet land which has not been drained is, of course, wholly unfit for potato grow- 'he ground for potatoes should be carelully prepared. The plan is to plow it deeply in the fall, lightly in tlie spring, turning under such manure as the soil lneks, and harrowing it until the earth is fine and mellow. Both hill and drill planting is practiced by successful culti vators. Each method has its merits ns well as advocates. Many farmers cling to the older practice of high hills be cause they believe the tubers can be kept dryer and warmer, and therefore less liable to drought than in level culture. A Pennsylvania correspondent whose experiments have proven what the friends to drill nlantinc claim t. c. larger yield per acre complains of ft corresponding increase of expense for cultivation. He contends where land is lentv that rows three feet apart and li'.ls three feet distant in the rows, per mitting horse cultivation both ways, is the most profitable method, the cost of growing the crop being thereby greatly reduced. Thedistance apartof both hills and drills varies accordingtothechnriic ter of the land and the kind of potato planted. Growths with large tops re quire a little more space, and under any circumstance there must be room enough for thorough culture. The usual rule regarding distances is hills three to three and a half feet apart each way ; or plant in drills three to three and a half leet distant, with the seed onefootapart .in the drills. The relative merits of whole or cut potatoes for seed agitated the agricul tural mind at each recurring season. The general rule arising from the conflicting experiences of successful growers is, select for seed none but the best and when the luber is cut leave enough bulk to insure sufficient sustenance to the young plant. A very common plan is cutting the potato in pieces containing tw i eyes Successful culture depends largely--especially .n old lands on the liberal application of suitable fertilizers. Fine potatoes in goodly number cannot be produced without an abundant supply of proper food. The kind, amount and condition of the manure applied must vary greatly with the kind and condi tion of the soil. Fresh barnyard manures are not advised, as they are liable to af fect the flavor of the potatoes and induce an undue growth of tops at the expense of the roots. Undecomposed stable manure has, however, proved va'uablo in exceptional cases when applied broad cast and" plowed under, as in heavy clay soils. Generally speaking, however, only well-rotted stable or barnyard manure should be used, and when the soil is naturally rich this is best omitte.l in favor of other fertil'zers, as salt, ashes and gypsum . A dressing of salt and unreached ashes applied in the growing season nets not only as a fertilizer hut a preventive of the irrub prevalent in richly-manured lands. Bone dust also greatly benclits a potato soil. The value of wood ashes io the potato crop cannot be too highly estimated. The cultivation of the potato should bo thorough, from the time the vint's appear above t ie ground until they be gin to bloom, when it should cease, be yond removine any weeds that may make an appearance. The economy in labor gained by using the plow for hoed crops is so well understood that it is not necessary to spend words in its favor. The practice ot sprouting potatoes for seed in hot-beds or baskets and trays set in some warm place is increasing in localities where early potatoes are liable to be overtaken by late spring frosts. This practice advances the crop about one fortnight. New York World. Recipes.

Thero is an objection to the common way of boiling ejrgs which people do not understand. It is this : The white, un der three minutes' rapid cooking, be comes tough and indigestible, while the yolk is left out. When properly cooked eg-4S are done evenly through like any other food. This result may be obtained by putting the eggs into a dish with a cover, as a tin pail, and then pouring upon them boiling water, two quarts or more to a dozen of eggs, and cover and get them away from the stove for fifteen minutes. The heat of the water cooks the egg9 slowly and evenly and sufli citntly, and to a jelly-like consistency, having the center, or yolk, harder than the while, and the ecg tastes as much richer and nicer as a fresh egg is nicer than a stale egg; no person will want to eat them boiled after trying this method once.

A Minister's Experience m Convict on Jtlnckwoll' Island. Rev. Edward Cowley, who was sen tenced to one year's imprisonment in the penitentiary on Blackwcll's Island for ill-usingand starving the children un der his charge in the Shepherd's Fold, a New York charitable institution, is now undergoing his punishment. A New York paper gives the following graphic account of liis first day's experience as a convict : Arrived at the penitentiary, the party adjourned to the inner office, where the prisoner was introduced to Warden Fox, who, in response to his earnest prayers, allowed him to wait three quarters oi an hour, in expectation of a stay of proceedings. To the warden Cowley said : ' I didn't want to come here, and I feel terribly about coming, but now that I'm in for it I propose io take the bull by the horns. I shall give up all hopes of getting out, and settle down to work like a man." The war den shook his hand and said: "I'm glad to hear you say that Mr. Cowley. When a man comes here and puts on our shoes, the best thing he can do is to walk in them under the guidance of the rules. Do your work well, and don't give your keeper an opportunity to crit icise you. Tliat's my advice to you." The warden added that if he had a me chanical turn-he might find something to do in the blacksmith shop or the shoe shop. " Yes," said Cowley, ear nestly, with the tears Btanding in his ey. s, " I want to work as hard as I can, to kill time and keep from think ing." At 1 :30 o'clock the ex-shepherd gave up his hopes ot a stay and resigned himself to the hands of the prison bar ber. His glossy iron-gray beard and whiskers, which have been his pride during the twenty-five years of his min istry, were cut oil' short, and his chin shaved and trimmed till it was as smooth as a Dutch cheese, lie was stripped of his clothing, placed in one of tiie three bath tubs ranged along the wall, and hot water turned on till the rooms were filled with a cloud of steam. Altera refreshing batli he dressed him self, nnd, putting on a clean shirt and striped- trousers, stepped upon the scales in his bare feet and was weighed, touching the beam at exactly' 137 pounds. Then lie mounted a measuring machine provided with a crossbar and post marked off in inches. The cross piece was adjusted over the shepherd's pray hairs by a fellow convict, who sang out to the recording clerk, " Five feet tv.o and one-half inches." which was duly entered in the prison books as apart of the description. After this ceremony was completed lie was dressed in prison garb, and then taken to the shoe ehop. Mr. Cowky was introduced to the foreman of the shop, who consigned him to the care of an instructor, who in turn set him to work cutting out leather for the soles of the shoes. He was given a bench in the front row, near the middle window and under the eye of the keeper. Be fore going, Mr. Ambrose enjoined the keepei- to mark for punishment any prisoner who insulted or taunted the new comer in any manner. After the officers had left Mr. Cowley found some difficulty in cutting the soles, and was accordingly provided witli a punch, and instructed to punch holes in the leather. It was a strange sight, the bare-headed, pallid-faced man, bending down pa tiently and resignedly to his unaccus tomed task, handling his tools with the clumsiness of a beginner, and yet work ing away with the determination to do the best lie could r.nd give his keepers as little cause of complaint ns possible. At 5:30 o'clock the men quit work and marched in lock st p to dinner. Mr. Cowloy cime the last but four in the shoe shop division, nnd found great difficulty in keeping step witli his fel lows. At times he would almost fall out of the line, and there was always more or less space between him and the man ahead of him. He ale sparingly of the mush and molasses set before him, and seemed glad when supper was over and lie could seek the seclusion of his cell. In eloping the door at the wor.i of command his " greenness" was again observable, and he was in danger of be ing marked for tardiness, until the con vict ahead of him a stalwart, good natured youth stepped to his relief and stiowed him how to close the grating. Deputy Warden Ambrose, who person ally saw the shepherd safely into his cell for the night, says the other prison ers have treated Cowley with kindness and consideration, and manifested no disposition to exult over his fallen for tunes. This is the more noticeable from the fact that a considerable number were prisoners during Cowley's chaplaincy in 1871, when he ordered prisoners into the dark cells for couahing during service. The cause ot his dismissal at that time was his refusal to go into the smallpox hospital to administer spiritual conso lation to the sick patients. The shep herd's cell No. 5 on the second tier is barely four feet wide, with just room enough for him to lie down on the nar row canvas cot which fills it. On Sun days ho will sit under the same pulpit from which lie preached to the prisoners nine years ago. He is the first regularly ordained white clergyman that ever served a term on the island. The Source of Nihilism. Russia is not the only European country in which the traveler feels that he is under a constant system of espion age. It is disagreeable even to a pass ing visitor, but it must press with con stant weight upon the people them selves. Every Russian is sensible that he i3 under supervision, that hj.is never his own master nor able to act freely. He is liable to be reported on, and a record is kept of his conduct and ten dencies. There is something madden ing to some natures in being thus per petually watched and tracked like a wild animal, and the Russian character is peculiarly liable to bo worked into excitement by it. There is silence and glcom about the people whom one meets in public in Russian cities, which indicates that they are living un der a constant sense of repression, and sooner or later nature is sure to assert itself against such an unnatural condi tion of existence. There is nothing, moreover, in the circumstances of Rus sian society to divert men's attention from this oppressive system. No public career is open to a Russian who does not belong to the official class; there is little independent professional life, and even commerce is iu great measure confined within narrow and obsolete channels. In a word, the disease of Russia is not so much the absence of political life and freedom as the absence of any real lilc and freedom at all. No man feels that he is in any respect his own master, or that he can make his own career. In this gloom and sense of restraint men brood over their, griev ances ; the more educated compare their condition with what they read of the life of other European countries, and it is no wonder it the weaker or more un scrupulous among them are incited to dark conspiracies against the whole order of eocietv. The Russian nature. as is shown by the religious condition of the country, is liable to frantic fanatic ism ; and what we witness in the present horrible crimes is sumciently accounted for by t'ie operation of the influences we have described on this fanatical tem perament. London Tunes. The-Best Maro In the World. From the enrliest period of racing history no animal that ever trod the turf has achieved such a record as that of the Hungarian mare Kinescm, whose rncing career has not been dimmed with a single defeat. Kincsem is a chestnut roare, now six years of age, and was sired by Cambus can out of Water Nymph, by Cots wold, grandam Mermaid, by Mel bourne. Cambuscan was raced in Eng land at two Hnd three years old, being then the property of the Earl of Stam ford. He was a first-rate two-year-old performer, but did not do much in the following year, and was eventually sold to the Hungarian government. Water Nymph was bred in Hungary, and pur chased for a mere " bagatelle by Mr. Blaseovitz, for whom she bred Kincsem, and it is needless to say how little that gentleman thought what a bonanza lie was purchasing when he invested for the first time in blood stock. This gen tleman is a merchant in Buda-Pesth, and farms a few acres near the city, his norses Deing trained by Mr, iiesp, who has a public training stabio in that vicinity. Mr. Hesp is a Yorkshire man by birth, and learned the rudi mentfl of his profession under John Scott, who was known far nnd wide in turf circles as the Wizard of the North. The writer was introduced to Mr. Ilespi nt Frankfurt last August, the day previous to Kinesem's fiftieth victory, and was taken to the mare's stable, where she was enjoying her evening feed. Having seen ' racehorses in all quarters of the globe, including Gladi ateur, Blair Athol. Lord Clifden, Long fellow, Harry Bassett, Monarchist. Duke of Magenta, Wheel of Fortune and many other high-ch'ss racehorses, the writer can pafely assert that, this mare outshines them all. As she stood in the box, munching her corn, first glance made her out to be a long, low mare, standing about fifteen hands three inches, but on going up to her withers he found she was sixteen hands one inche and made in proportion. Willi a long, lean head, wide throttle and powerful neck, well set on to sloping shoulders, no fault could be found with her forehand. Her depth through the girtu is immense, nnd tier Hack is as level as a billiard table. The muscular power of her thighs and gaskins is im mense, and the couplings arc in propor tion, showine clearlv where she nets that propelling power that has borne her owner s colors first past t lie post in fifty- four consecutive races. Her action when extended is perfection nnd her stride immense, the way she tucks her hind legs under her heme a treat to witness, tier temper, too, is perfect, but fiavniff been pampered since she was a baby. the marc has naturally a few whims and peculiarities. She is very particu lar about tlie water she drinks. Un one occasion she flatly refused to drink the water brought to her, aid a cart was sent some miles to a neighboring town to letcti tier some ot a different kind, winch she was graciously pleased to np prove of. Mr. Hesp always takes his own hay and oats with him when he leaves home, in case of being unable to find provender to suit her ladyship. in one race as a two-year-old she was standing when the flag fell, losing fifty yards, but that did not help her oppon ents at all. At two years old she won ten races; three years old, seventeen; four years old, fifteen; and five years old, twelve making hity-lour in all up t j this venr ihere is hardly a sireot note in the English stud book that she docs not trace back to.

George Albrce, who died a short time ago m i'lttsburg, fa., in Ins seventy eighth year, was apeculiar character as well as a local celebrity. Although he had been a merchant and had made an ample fortune, he had many crochets and various private pursuits winch tic was fond ot discussing, lie took a deep interest in meteorology, having kept a record of the weather for nearly half a century. He ws often called the weather clerk, and he believed that no American living was so intimately acquainted as he with the subject, on which he was always voluble. The signal service bureau report never pleased him. lie always declared that the men who made it did not under stand their business, and that they were continually blundering in their predic tions. He had long been a weather prophet, and a number of lucky guesses had so filled him witli self-confidence and egotism that he was impatient of any opposition. One of Ins favorite speeches was: " What I- don t know about weather isn t worth knowing Born in the ancient town of Salem, Mass., he ran away to sea when he was only ten, and served on board a pri vateersman during tiie war of 1812.. Hi took part in a number of minor en casements: witnessed the fight between the Boxer and Enterprise off the coast of Maine, and, having been wounded, drew a pension from the private navy lund. lie was, it is said, the last pn vateer pensioner, having survived all his fellows. Theology was one of his specialties, and he had written and pub' lished at his own expense several works thfreon.

The Czar and the Victims of the Winter Palace Explosion. In the church of the military hospital. at St. Petersburg, a requiem mass was celebrated in memory ot the soldiers killed by the recent explosion in the Winter palace. Side by side stood the ten plain white coffins. Toward the close of the requiem the emperor ar rived, accompanied by the czarewitch and the Grand Dukes Vladimir and Serge. During the sinirintr of tiie " Eternal M mory " the czar full on his knees, 1 ueu he summoned to linn the officei-3 who were on duty in the palace on the fatal day, thanked them warmly, tor their loyal tulhllment oi their duties, and congratulated them on their nar row escape. Pointing to the ten coffins, lie said, in a bitter tono: "This re minds in 5 of tho lust campaign." Then the czar visited the wounded soldiers, the surviving victims of the explosion in the palace, and spoke kindly to each one of them. On the next day, after mass, the burial of the ten bodies took place. The burial procession was honored by the presence ot the tji'anu JJUke fjonstantine, accom panicd by his son, Governor-General Gourko, Prince Imeretensky, General Zouron. and a large num tier oi generals, officers and soldiers. This is the first instance on record of the bodies of pri vate soldiers being carried to the grave by officers of the highest rank. The first coffin was borne bv rrince oouvoroll- Rimniksky.Count Vwontzofl-Dashkoff, two generajs and two colonels. All the coffins were decorated with wreaths sent by the Grand Duchess Alexandra Josephovna. .the bodies oi the ten sol diers were buried in one grave, over which will soon be erected a monument Paris Qolos. TWENTI-FIYE YEARS OF EXPIRE. Tha Proa-rew Made by Russia Since tha Front 1'nr'i Accession to the Throne An Interesting Summary, Referring to the recent twentv-fifih anniversary of the Czar Alexander's ac cession to the throne of Russia, a New Xork paper says: The opening of the reiirn which has just completed its twenty-fifth year was . I n nlnnn.ma. -.-...!.. J I T I. '. ...... . mo glwuiKO, t'CHUU OI 1YU1HU lliatUl J , but it was also the most profitable. " We owe gratitude," says the Moscow Qtwellc, " even to England herself, for her blows shattered the pernicious sys tem that was destroying us, opened our eyes to the real state of our internal strength, nnd cleared the way for all the reforms now in progress." This is no exaggeration. Russia has made more real progress since the accession of Alex ander II. than during the whole preced ing century. In 1855 she had only 4 19 miles of railway ; eh j has now upward of 10,000. In 1855 only tliree cities in the whole empire viz., St. Petersburg, Moscow and Odessa were even toler ably paved or lighted; whereas, now every leading provincial town is well off in both respects, and the new St. Peters burg gas company is one of the most flourishing in the empire. In 1855 the tota number of factories in European uussia was i.djo, representing a veariy value of 350,000,000 rubles. (8282.500.- 000.) By 1867 tho half-way point of the present reign 23.721 factories were at work, with an annual yield of 500,000, 000 rubles, and both figures are now con siderably higher. Tho iniquities ot the legal system ot that dav, carried on ac cording to the obsolete forms of mediae val law, wero almost too monstrous for belief; whereas, now trial by jury, in troduced in 1863, is a national institu tion. The Russian soldier's term of service then extended over twenty-five year, whereas it is now limited to seven. Various cruel and degrading iiinishments, than in constant use in the mpeiial army, :ire now almost abol ished, only one man having "run the gantlet" in St. Petersburg since 1861. 1 lie VJ.uiKMHiu peasants who were slaves in 1855 are now freemen, and not a few of them have become land-owners or thriving merchants. Even in actual territory, Russia lias gained consider able. In Europe she has acquired Southern Bessarabia. In Asia Minor she has annexed part of Northern Ar menia, in uentral Asia she lias won a territory as large as France, while her Siberian frontier has been advanced. nearly a 1,000 miles at the expense of China, and tho important island of Sak halin, extorted lrom Japan. lint, apart from all tlus, Russia has achieved a step which will go far to supply her greatest want, blie has formed, not indeed a substantial middle class, but that which will be the germ of such n. class, and which is expandina every year. I Ins is the one thing lack ing to insure tho stability of the empire. Oi'llie 55,000,000 inhabitants contained by Russia proper in 1801, 29,000,000 were Iree peasants and BJ, 000.000 sens, leav ing only 1,000.000 nobles. 4,000,000 bur gesses, and 050,000 priests to form the counterbalancing minority. Tiie eman cipation of that year, by destroying the power ot the nobiuty, while that ol the people was still non-existent, placed Russia in the position of a state with ltn upper class gone, its lower class not yet come and no middle class at all. The same sluggish ignorance which makes the Russian "mujik" proof against the whispers of disatlection. renders linn absolutely useless to the political life of his country. What is wanted is a rea soning, not a reasonless, obedience, Russia's safety lies m the creation of a class of practical and well-to-do men of business, lor whom order implies pros perity, and disorder absolute ruin. The existence of auoh n, class in Frauce made the commotion of 1830 short and com paratively bloodless, rendered abortive the attempted outbreak of 1832, and tided over the great political crisis o 1878-9 without ny outbreak at all: and the remedy which lias succeeded in Paris may be trusted not to fail in St. Peters burg. Row They Tried to Kill a Piny. A writer n London Society savs: The upper galle: ? used to be allotted gratis to the servants of the gentlemen in the boxes. When James Townlev's farce. "iiign j-.no ueiow niairs," was fir produced in Jdinbure, the indignation of the gentlemen's servants was un bounded. They were furious at this clever and caustic satire of their own affectations, and, after meeting in sol emn conclave, iesolved, with an impu dence which throws all the impertinence of nineteenth-century tiunkeyism into the shade, that the piece should not be performed ngain. Accordingly upon tin: second night of its being announced in the lulls as a part of tho entertainment, Mr. J..ove, one of the managers, came upon the stage nnd read a letter contain ing the most violent threats, both ngainst the actors and the house, if the niunaue. ment should dare to put the piece upon the boards again. Notwithstanding this audacious attempt at terrorism, the curtain rose on "High Life Below Stairs." Tho farce had no sooner begun than a solid phalanx of footmen made an attack upon the stage. In vain their masters roared at them to stand back and leave the stage. The " liveried menials" flatly relused. The masters drew their swords and rushed nt tliem. The footmen stoutly opposed their oaken cudgels to tho steel blades; and it was not till there had been a desperate strug gle and some serious wounds had been given and received, that tho gentlemen proved victorious aim drove the serv ants from the field. Whether thev were all discharged by their masters or not. I am unable to say ; but, at any rate, they forfeited their right to free admission to the upper gallery, nnd it was never again restored to them. From that time to this they have had to content themselves with smoking and tippling in taverns, while their betters are en joying the play. Women mid Theft. Colonel John W. Forney, who is one of the most noted " society men " in the country, must bo held responsible for a ventilation of the petty frailities of " society women," iu a late number of Ins paper, the rrooress. lie says: Women have small faith in tho honesty of women; they will tell you that at receptions, parties, and the like, small ornaments are always carried oil"; that card and photograph albums ol recep tion room tables are regularly Blun dered, nnd that artificial and growing flowers are clipped and torn to pieces if they stand nny where within reach of visitors. It is always women who are susnected of these thefts, if women are right in their opinion of women, and you look for the explanation, I do not think that you need look far. A Jady may ao with impunity wi:nt a gentle man would never dream ol doing, and she knows it. A man care not gossip for if he does, and anv ono is injured thereby, punishment is swift, sure and severe But to gossip is the privilege of the lady, ana she is never caiica to ac count. So with this older and graver sin. buppose, for instance, it wa posi tivelv known that a rich and aristo cratio dame had deliberately stolen one of those rings, what would be the re sult? Nothing, of course. The affair would be hushed up. But gupposoit was a gentleman; well, no would be ruined forever as much as if he was caught picking a pocket in a crowd, New Orleans was settled by the French in 1717. The yellow fever ravaged the city for the first time in 1769, sinoe when it lias been more or less fatal every year.
