Klnesem.
From the earliest period of racing
history no animal that ever trod the
turf has achieved such a record as that
of the Uungarian mare Kincsem, whose
racing career, up to to the time of writ
ing (January, 1880) has not been dim
med with a single defeat. Kincsem is
a chestnut mare, now six years old,
and was sired by Caiubuscan out of
Water Nymph, by Cotswold, graudaiu
Mermaid, by Melbourne. Cauibuscan
was raced iu England at two and three
years old, being then a first-class two
year-old performer, but did not do
much in the following year, and was
eventually sold to the Hungarian gov
ernment. Water Nymph was bred in
Hungary, and purchased for a mere
bagatelle by Mr. Blascoyiu. from whom
she bred Kincsem, and It is needless to
say how little that gentleman thought
what a bonanza he was purchasing
when he Invested for the first time 111
blood stock. This gentle man is a
m erchant in Buda-Pesih, and farms a
few aeres near the city, his horses be
ing trained by Mr. Uesp. who has a
public training stable in that vicinity.
Mr. Hesp is a Yorkshireman by birth,
and learned the rudiments of his pro
fession under John Scott, who was
known far and wide in turf circles as
the wizard ot the north. The writer
was introduced to Mr. Hesp at Frank
fort last August, the day previous to
Kinesem's fiftieth victory, and. was
taken to the mare's stablo, where was
she enjoying her evening Iced. Having
seen race horses in all quarters of the
globe, including Gladiateur, Blair
Athol, Cllfden, Longfellow, Harry Rag
gett, Monarchist, Duke of Magenta,
Wheel of Fortune and many other high
class race horses, the writer can safety
assert that this mare outshines them
all. As she stood in the box, munch
ing her corn, a first glance made her
out to bo a long, low mare, standing
about 15 hands 3 inches, but on going
up to her withers he found she was 1G
hands 1 inch, and made in proportion.
With a long, lean head, wide throttle
and powerful neck, well set off to slop,
ing shoulders, no fault could be found
with her forehead. Her depth through
the girth is immense, and her back is
as level as a billiard table, ller muscu
lar power has borne her owner's colors
first past the post in fifty-four consecu
tive races. Her action when extended
is simply perfection and her gtride im
mense, the way she tucks her hind legs
under her being a treat to witness.
Her temper too, is perfect, but having
been pampered since she was a baby,
the mare has naturally a fe v whims
and peculiarities. She is very particu
lar about the water she drinks. On one
occasion she flatly refused to drink the
water brought to her, and a cart was
sent some miles to a neighboring Town
te fetch her some of a different kind,
which she was graciously pleased to
approve of. Mr. Hesp*alwaystakes 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 this did not help heroppon
entsatail. At two years old she won ten
races; three years old, seventeen; four
years old, fifteen; and five years old,
twelve—making fifty-four in all up to
this year. There is hardly a sire of
note in the English stud-book that she
does not trace back to. Cold weather
or hot, hard tracks or mud, come all
alike to her, and traveling in cars on
the eve of a race never diminishes her
wonderful powers. She Is rightly
named Kincsem, which, literally inter,
preted, means darling.
A Strong Case.
A Detroit lawyer had a bill of $240
against a certain citizen put into his
hand for collection the other day, and
he wrote a note asking the debtor to
call at his office and see about it. The
man promptlj' appeared, looked the bill
over, and said:
"Well, I guess that's all correct."
"You acknowledge the Indebtedness,
do you?"
"I do."
"And what arrangements will you
make to settle it?"
"I'll put in an offset. I've been feed
ing two hogs for this man all winter,
and my bill is just $-240. I was figur
ing it up this very morning. '
"What! $240 for feeding two hogs for
three or four months!" exclaimed the
astonished lawyer.
"Just four months, sir, and the bill
is correct."
"And what are the hogs worth to
day ?"
"Ten dollars apiece."
"Well, you'll find it hard to convince
the court that your hog-teed was worth
any such money."
"Ilog-feed !" shrieked the other, as
he suddenly jumped up, "do you sup
pose I'm charging $240 for the feed
them hogs devoured I No, sir, I put in
the feed at only S4O, but the S2OO is for
my Sunday hat, which fell into the pen
and was gobbled down, and for my
anxiety of mind for fear the porkers
would catch the mumps from my chil
dren. Mental anguish is the backbone
of this case, sir, and every one of my
family will be seated in a row before
the Jury, and all will begin to weep as
I rise to ask that justice be done a man
who lost as fine a cow as you ever saw
nine years ago this spring!"
Estahll&li Healthful Co-operation
between the stomach, the liver and the bowels,
it you want to banish sick headaches, nerv
ousness and mei tal despondency. Upon the
vigor of the first named organ deptnds the
good service of the two iatter. That fine
stomachic, Hostetter's Bitters, pure, approvtd
by physicians, derived from the beet botanic
sources, soon put-i to rout the symptoms
which make the lives of nervous, bilious inva
lids miserable. The very fountain bead of
such trouble is feebleness of dgeetiou, for
which it is an incomparable, long established
and widely celebrated remedy. It builds up
the oonstim ion when shaken by disease, and
protects it against malarial and otber hurtful
influences. It is an agreeable appetizer, a
useful strengthening oord al for the oonva
lescent, and greatly mitigates the gather ng
infirmities of age.
AGRICULTURE.
PLOWING.—-' There are minor points
counected with the subject of plowing
which are worthy of careful considera
tion. The field should be so arranged
that long furrows may be plowed, in
stead of short ones, that is, if half an
acre only is to be plowed, economy in
labor and time would suggest a field of
eighty rods in length and one rod in
width rather than four rods in width
and twenty rods long. In the first in
stance the plowman would have to turn
bis team sixteen times, providing that
the furrow is twelve Inches in width,
while in the second eaie sixty-seven
turnings of the team would be neces
sary, 'occupying more time than was
employed in turning the sod. Again
the width of the furrow is a serious
item In the cost of plowing. In the
first case above mentioned, If the
furrow turned should be eight inches
In place of twelve, not only would
twenty-four turnings of the team be
required instead el sixteen, but the
team would be forced to travel one
third further, while in the second case
previously stated eighty-nine turnings
would be necessary instead of sixty
seven. If the length of the furrow be
the same in both oases, yet by faking a
furrow one-third broader, three acres
may be plowed In the same time occu
pied in plowing two acres wltto a nar
row furrow. There are plows in the
market which will turn a twelve-inch
furrow with equal ease to the horses, as
other plows give in turning eight-inch
furrows. Yet many farmers still con
tinue working with an old style plow,
difficult of draft, simply because they
cannot afford to purchase a new and
more modern implement that would
more than save its extra cost in a sin
gle season.
now TO CATCH A FOWL.— Few per
sons know how to secure a bird to ad
vantage. Never seize a fowl by the
tail, if a fine bird, or touch the back,
but grasp both legs at once with a
firm, tight, quick hold, then raise free
front the ground or perch, and hang
the body down clear of any obstacle.
This method does not ruffle the plum
age, which in a fine bird must be avoid
ed. When the web of the feather is
once broken, it can never be united
again, and where much handled this
often occurs, giving to the bird a rag
ged appearance. It is the source of
much annoyance to a nice, clean,
smooth bird, to have the plumage ruf
fled. Their bodily covering is regarded
with the utmost care, and the lustre
and beauty of it indicates the health
and strength ol the fowl.
Toxic FOR FRCIT TREES —Sulphate
of iron (green copperas) dissolved in
water, at the rate of two pounds to the
barrel, makes an excellent tonic for all
kinds of fruit trees, especially pear,
peach and quince. It may be sprinkled
around under the trees with a water
ing-pot, about blooming-time, or it
may be sprinkled in its dry state, two
or three ounces around each tree. Tids
solution is cheap, but it uiay be made
ir. sufficient quantities for the merest
trifle, as follows: Put old nails or
scrap* of old iron In an old kettle; put
a quart of sulphuric acid into a gallon
of water and pour it upon the scraps.
A few days will make it strong enough ;
take it out and fill up again with the
diluted acid. The effect of this tonic
on yellow, sickly trees is often surpris
ing. The solution should taste but lit
tle of the copperas. A quart at a time,
once a week, will soon change the color
of leaves from a s'.ckly yellow to a dark
green.
GROWING SAGE. —In regard to sage,
many have it tor a year or so, when it
disappears. To have sage continuous
ly, it is best to treat it every second
year as we would box-edgings, that is,
it should be taken up, split apart, and
set in the ground much deeper than it
was the year beiore. Roots then come
out from the vigorous young wood, and
the plants seem better adapted to stand
extremes of heat and cold than when
the branches are exposed on long stalks.
Sage is not so liable to get killed out in
the winter when it is left untourhed.
Many cut back some of it for drying.
Indeed, dried sage is the form in which
it is chiefly used. When this is done
regularly the plants do not need re
planting so olten.
WARM WATER FOR PLANTS.— There
is no mistaking the perfect effect ot
warm spring rains upon young grass or
plants, and its Influence upon the ger
mination of seeds; whilst autumn
rains unless they, too, are warm—pro
duce no such sudden and vivifying ef
fect. Let us learn care from these ef
fect's in nature, and not chill our flow
ers with cold water, nor poison them
with filthy water.
SOFT SHELLED EGGS. —When soft eggs
are laid by fowl they indicate usually
that the egg organs are inflammed.
This state is occasioned by the birds
being over fed or too fat. Spare diet
and plenty of green food, especially
lettuce leaves in summer, or cabbage In
winter, is the best treatment for fowls
in such condition.
A RATHER limited test of the plausi
ble theory that milk is one of the best
foods to produce milk, has convinced
us that when a sheep has rather a
limited supply of milk for her lambs,
skimmed milk can be fed to her with
better and quicker results than shorts
or roots.
SCN FOR FLOWERS. —Abutilions do
not need a great deal of sunlight; col
iseum ivy will do well in * hanging
pot at a north window. Geraniums all
require as much sun as you can give
them, to have them look well and blos

BAKED ViviftON. -Time, fifteen to
twenty minutes to the pound. Trim
the Jolut, wash In tepid water, and wipe
It dry. Hub It over with fresh butter
beef drippings, or lard, then cover It
over with a thick paste of flonr and
water, about half an Inch thick, closely
modelled to the meat with tho hanu.
Put It in a baking pan with about a
pint of boiling stock, gravy, or beef
drippings, and bake. Hast it frequently,
at least every tsn minutes. Thirty
minutes before the ineat is cooked re
move tho paste cover; when cooked
serve on a hot dish with gravy made as
follows: About two hours before the
ioint is baked put Into u pot of
cold water sufficient to cover the
scraps trimmed from the joint, or one
or two pounds of venison cut Into
pieces; season with cayenne pepper,
salt, cloves, and nutmeg. Cover and
let it slmiuer; remove the scum as It
rises. When it has simmered to about
one-half the quantity of water used,
take it from the tire and strain the
gravy. After the Joint is removed, put
the gravy lino the baking pan and stir
into it one or two tablespooufuls of
blended brown flour. Let it boll up at
once, and serve in a separate dish.
A DELICIOUS dessert dish : Peel five
oranges and slice in small pieces Into a
pudding dish. Sprinkle as you place
with one cup granulated sugar, lioll
one pint of milk, three teaspoonfuls
ornsiaroh, one-half cup sugar and a
pinch ot salt. When boiled add yolks
of two eggs well beaten. When nearly
cold pour this over the orange. Make
a meringue of the whites of the eggs
wi.li one-half cup of sugrr. Brown
for a minute in hot oven, or by holding
a hot lid over it being careful not to
heat the orunge, as tlmt would make it
bitter. Serve cold.
ATPLK CHARLOTTF.. —Butter a deep

w beaten bread which have been soaked
in sweet cream; till the bowl to within
one inch of the top with sliced apples
in layers, with beef marrow ; sugar and
grated lemon or orange peel; cover il e
apples with thin slices ef bread soaked
in cream; cover tiie bowl closely with
an ordinary earthen-ware pie-dish, in
which place water to prevent its crack
ing; bake in rather brisk oven from
one hour to one and one-half hour, at
cording to the size of tiie charlotte.
FORK FIE. —Take equal parts of sweit
milk and bird; bring to a boil; pour
this upon flour enough to make a still'
paste; add a Utile salt; then work till
smooth, having no lumps in it. Cut
into pieces of desired size; roll into a
ball; push your hand down in the shape
desired. Fill with good fresh pork, in
equal parts of fat and lean, cut fine;
put on a crust of the same dough, and
bake slowly on an ordinary pie pan.
No pan or dish is necessary to hold up
the edges.
ALUM IN BREAD.— To disc ver whether
bread is adulterated with alum, soak
tiie bread in water, and to the water in
wliic i it has been soaked add a little of
the solution of piuriate of lime, upon
which, if any alum lie present, the
liquid will be pervaded with niilkines6;
but if the bread be pure, the liquid will
remain limpid. Rationale; Sulphuric
acid has a stronger alfinity lor lime hin
alumina and potassium, with which it
forms alum; it therefore quire thos<-
bodies to form sulphate of lima with
the lime of tho test, which produces the
milkiness.
HARD SOAP. —One pound of concen
trated ly in two quarts of
soit water; pour inio a large pitcher to

kind, have it milk-warm and pour in
the lye -lowly, stirring rapidly until it
liegius to thicken. Add one or one
halt ounce oil of sassafras. Four
into a box one foot square and cover it,
leaving it in a warm place for three or
tour days. Cut into squares and it is
ready for use.
BLACK THREAD LACK. —To renovate
black-thread lace, wash it carefully in
alcohol, or pure spiri s whit h is diluted
alcohol. Lay a towel on a board or

fully stretching it, and pinning it to
the board rouml the edge of the lace
with pins. When drv, it will look like
new , if carefully done.
CROUP, it is said, can B cured in one
minute, and the remedy is simply alum
and c ug.r. The way to accomplish the
deed is to take a knife or grater, and
shave ofl' in small particles about a tea
spoonful of alum; then mix it witii
twice its quantity of sugar, to make it
p ila able, and administer it as quick
ly as possible. Almost instantaneous
relief will follow.
GRAVIES.— To have gravy always on
hand you must do as the French do—
namely: Save gristle and every bone
left from cold meat or fresh. The bones
must be chopped small and put on to
stew, with enough water to cover.
Leave the tat on until you need to use
the gravy. By this means it will keep
longer. •

A GRATEFUL RECOGNITION
" To cure a anoxic or uu srAinuwe DISSAS
Is truly a victory in the healing art; that reason
lag power that clearly discerns DIFXOT and sup
idles a remedy; that restores step by step—by
legrees—the body which has been slowly at
tacked and weakened by HS Insidious disease,
not only commands our respect but deserves
our gra l ude. Dr. Railway has furnished man
kind with that wonderful n medy, Kadway'i
■araaparlllliin Bmlvent which aooont
pushes thli result, and sufferihg humanity,
who drag out an existence of pain and dlseasa,
through long days and long nights, owe him
thai J gratitu i*."— Magical Mfunjtr.
FALSE AND TRUE.
We extract from Dr. RadwaTs "Traatlsa m
disease and Ha cure." as follows;
List mi DIMSMS Cared by
Radwsy's Sanaparllliai Resolmt.
Chronic Skia Diseases, cartes of the BOM.
Rumors in the Blood, Scrofulous Dlse sea. Bad
or unnatural Habit or Body, Syphilis and Vena
real, Fever Sores, Chronic or old Ulcers, Sell
kheum, Rickets, White swelling, Seal i Head,
Uterine Affections, Cankers, Glandular Swell
ing", Nodes. Wast ing and Decay of tha Body.
Pimples und Rlotches Tumors, Dyspepsia, Kid
ney a B Bladder Diseases, Chronic Rh uinatlsm
and Gout. Consumption, Gravel and Calculous
Deposits, and varieties of the above complaints
to wiitcn sometimes are given spaolotia names.
We assert ihst there is no known remedy that
possesses the euratlve power over these dis
eases th t RAP WAY'S RBSOLVKMT furnishes. It
cures, step by step, surely, from the founda
tion, and restores the injured parts to their
sound condition. The wastes ef the body
are stopped and healthy hlaod ta sap
piled lo the systeas, from which new mt
u-rlal !•> formed. Tuls is the flsst eonrectlva
power of RADWAT'S RESOLVVWT. in eases whara
the svstem has bean salivated and Mercury,
Quicksilver, Corrosive Sublimate have accumu
lated and heoome d -posited In the bones. Joints,
etc.. causing carles of the bones, rickets. SDlaal
rurvaiure->, cont>rlions, white vari
cose veins, etc.. the SARSAPAEILLI AW will resolve
awav those deposits anj extermlnata the virus
of the disease from the system.
If those who are taking these medicines for
the cure of Chronic. Scr rufous or Syphilitic dis
eases, however slow may b* the cure, ltd bet
ter,ana And their general health tmprovlng,
their fledi and weight increasing, or even keep
ing Its own. Is a sura sign that the curt is pro
gressing. In these disease* the patient either
gets better or worse—the virus of the disease
u not inactive; if not arretted and driven trcd|
the blood It will spread and continue to undsr
mine the constitution. As toon as the SASSA
fAS ILL LAM make- the patient 'feel better," every
hour you will grow better and Increase In health,
strength and flesh.

CAUTION.
All remedial agents capable of destroying Ufa
by an overdo e should be avoided. Morphine,
opium, strychnine, arnica, hyoedamus, and
other powerful remedies, does at certain timet,
in very small doses, relieve the patient during
their action in the system. But perhaps the
second dose, ir repeated, may aggravate and In
