LOVES OP NOTED MEN. rhe Presldeut ProtJ of His Much Praised Ladj. The President's love and admiration for bis voung wife, writes a correspond ent ot tbe cvr York lime, were very prettily ehown in a litt'.e incident which occurred at the close of his trip to the Adirondacks a year ag'. As the public is well aware, the amount of flattery which lias beeu showered upon ilri. CleYeland since her marriage U more than sufficient to have turned many a older aud wi.'cr Lead were it not for the wholesome fund of common sense which f lie fortunately possesses. Since her resi dence m the hite Iloiue Mrs. Cleve land has made a o llection of newspaper tl. (pines referring to her ai Its mistress.

While laughing over the matter in hand tii- l'roult nt's invariable practice lias beeu to declaim li!s wife's distinc tion to tl.e title of a beauty. With a wouiau's intuition Mrs. Cleveland has readily seen through, the well-meant at tempt to Keep down 1 er vanity and the grave assurance that she is a Rood-looking woman, t ut iu nowise noticeably so. In speaking of the matter to a member of the Cabinet one day the President said he cou'.d not but regret the action of the press in so continuously referring to Sirs. Cleveland's beauty, as he feared it would result in her losing the great charm of unconsciousness. 15ut that he really shared the opinion of the pub lic in the matter was unconsciously be trayed by him during the Adirondack trip. i tiK wisiiows w lue otex. When the Presidential party left theil camp in the woods, and after a long, tiiesome jnurney reached Paul Smith's, they found a Iargu concourse of ,op'.e from the surrounding country awaiting their arrival, lient on shaking hand; with the President anil gaining the coveted glimpse of his pretty wife. A reception was unavoidable, so, tirc.l as they were and btill in their traveling clothes, the President and Mrs. Cleve land took their stand in the parlor, shak ing Lands witii every one. trom the old est to the voungest, who di'sir'd that honor. The windows opening on the balcony were ti.io:i:ed with g.iyly dressed rustics, who g.i.ed at the Clnel Mag'.tti.ite iu open-mouthed silence. Some of il e slroUeis were more audaci ous, however, a:.d ili-cussious in regard to Mrs. Cleveland's beauty ran high. 'Iou't yon fret, Maria; she ain't hall as pretty as you.

This it maik was ovei heard by two oi tl.e President's party, and at the close ot the reception was laughingly repeat ed to hi iu. Instead of joining iu Mrs. Cleveland's hearty aniii-i-nient the President appealed extremely annoyed, and after pacing the tloor tor several minutes bur-tout with: "They have nc r.ght to say such things. They cannot judge of her in Ler traveling dress atiei a tiresome day's journey. It is no fair test." Then in au instant realizing how on the spur of the moment he had re vealed to Mrs. Cleveland his real opinion iu regard to her lauty. the President banished his vexation and Joined In the laugh at his expense.

It would appear that he Las succeeded In producing diamond-dust artificially. The arrangement of the experiment was as follows: A massU? cylindrical steel mold of about three Inches internal diameter and six inches high was placed under a hydraulic press' the bottom ot the mold being closed by a Bplgot an 1 asbPUoj rubber packing, similar to the pas check in guns; the top was closed by a plunger similarly racked; this packing was per fectly tight ht all pressures. In the spigot was a vertically bored hole into which the bottom end of the carbon rod to be treated fitted; the top end of the carbon-rod was connected electri cally to the mold by by a copper cap, which also helped to support the carbon-rod in a central position. The block aud spigot were insulated electri cally from Ve mold by abestos, and the leading wirs from the dynamo being counected to the block and mold re spective:), the current passed along the carbon-rod in the Interior of the mold. The free space iu the mold was filled in tai with different hydro-carbons and wUA other materials. Among the liquids acted on were benzine, parafCue, treacle, chloride and bisul phide of caibm, and the solids, includ ed silica, alumina carbena'.e aud oxide of magnesia aud alumna. The press ure employed ranged from Qve to thirty tons per square lnclu la the experi ment with silica the dn:' rv of the car bon was Increased 'M per t .r., and in no other case. The moti interesting set of experiments was when the mold around the rod was Ci'.ed with a layer of slaked lime about lech thick, sur mounted by 2 inches ot silver sand, fol lowed by a layer of lime of the same thickness, and finally by a later or coke dust. The pressures u?ed ranged from S to 3i tons, and the current from 200 to UtO amperes, the carbon being in different experiments from inch to 5-10 iucU lu diameter. Under these conditions there was obtained ou the surface of the carbon-rod a powder of a gray color, harder than emery and capable of scratching the diamond. The powder is, therefore, Tery proba bly the diamond Itself. A ttment very much used la China and Japan is made from rice. It is only necessary to mix rice flour inti mately with water aud gently simmer the mixture over a clear fire, when it readily forms a delicate and durable cement. There Is not a single moment in life we can afford to lose. FARM XOTES. . The Woods in Winter. There are many who never take a ramble in the woods in the winter season. They appear to think that because the trees, save Pre plaes. hemlocks, etc, are bare, and because the b'rds have left for a warmer climate, there is nothlDg to be seen in the woods in winter. Those who have learned properly to use their eyes, will Cud that the woods present enough cf interest at all seasons to make a visit to them profitable at any season. Lumbermen, who work at felling trees, do so In the winter only, and can distinguish trees with great accuracy, and tell one kind ot tree from another as far cS as they can see them. They do this from the peculiar way In which the tree branches, and the eoler and markings of the btrk. We Lave found that these same lumber men, if shown the leaves and flowers of the trees with which they are so familiar in winter, fail to recognize them; indeed many are aurpriatd to learn that forest trees have flowers. To be able to recognize trees at all seasons, and to name them accurately, whether they ha 7e leaves or not, is a very useful sort of knowledge, which every farmer should acquire. The carpenter, the cabinetmaker, and all other workers lu wood, while they may not be able to recognize the tree, can If 11 at once, from a mere chip, the kind of wood they are handling. Why Shall Farms Tat. If the owner ot a small farm brings to bis work the business capacity and good judgment which the large landowner does, it is very evideut that, propor tioned to the acres cultivated, he will have the most money at the end of the year. Hired help Is not only expensive but at times very uncertain and unre liable, but a man's own bands, with a heart in his work, which seldom ac companies hired help, are always avail able for every little detail on which success depends. Many men will do more with ten acres and get more out of and from them than others will with a hundred. It requires as much labor, however, for the ten as the hundred. It is intelligent labor and good manage ment that count on a farm, hence it is that small farms pay the best and that farmers continually complain that there is no money in tarmicg. To oar way of thinking, and we are familiar with every department of farm business and measurably so with the city, there Is no enterprise oae can engage in which oilers better opportunities for a healthful, independent and successful life than a moderate sized farm under good management. I'iioeauly meal will finish up asteer better thau ear corn, bat for the bulk of the feeding there are no trials to which we can point that show In favor of meal over whole corn. A step still further in the right direction Is to feed uahusked corn, fodder aud all, to the cattle. Such Innovations may arpall many farmers, but what we are drift ing toward Is not more compl'cated methods of feeding, but big ciops to feed. Letter stock to feed It to, and simple, rational methods of gttting feed to the animals. In breeding and feeding cattle the first legitimate purpose is to make the animal do the very best that It will. The saving of food in the direction of depriving the stock of all that it will eat has no place in the calculation at all. It is true that in some cases the animal will eat its heal off, though that will occur only with scrub stock. But in such cases the animal should be got rid of. It does not destroy the rule that profitable dairying demands abundant food and good food. TnE following recipe has been trie J by a lady who sayi she has eggs that were preserved by !t four years. They are still good. Take one pound of en slacked lime and one pint of common salt to two gallons ot soft water, l'ut your eggs on end. in layers, in any goo! tight vessel a jrr is good. When as fall as you wish, make enough of the brine to completely cover the eggs. If you put the eggs down as gathered each day, add some of Uie brine so as to keep all completely covered all the while. The management of seed potatoes is ate o' the important arts of the potato grower. The chief point is to prevent them from sprouting, and for this pur Iose a low temperature as near to the freezing as is possible, without touching it is desirable. early everywhere farmers find that the late varieties of potatoes are more productive than the early ones. Is cot this partly due to the fact that early variet ies bavs been injured by sprouting, while late varie '.ies are less liable to this injury? Breeding Sows should be given comfortable, clean quarters with free dom or at least the liberty of a rard Ure enough for moderate exercise.' lo not let them run with cattle cr hors?s, though, they should have generous aud plentiful rations of bran aud other muscle-forming food but not much 1 ml lan corn or meal. Skim-milk, bran, oil-meal boiled to a tLia gruel, peas, etc, are good foods for them. GnooMrso should be thoroughly per formed on every horse at least once dally. Never groom a horse in Its stall while the horse is eating, but take It out for the purpose. Otherwise the lust and dirt which fill the air becomes mixed with the horse's food, making it unpalatable and unwholesome. Houses should be kept well shod and sharp while they are worked on roads slippery with ice and snow. In attention to this point often costs lame ness and suffering to the hore and loss to its owner. Hub the legs aud partl lularly the heels dry with wisps of straw when the L rsj con e in from work in rain or snow. Obstinate cases 3t scratches come from neglect cf this.

'Can't I do that?" patters upon the car of the busy mother until she answers mechan ically, often not taking in the purport of the petition. The perplexed Etan that auswers her clumsy defense whet reminded of the assent she feels obliged to revoke "I really diJ not think what I was saying my dear" should warn her that the cround is caving under the Mae of infallibility. These clear-eyed critics cf our walk and conversation reason long before they can put logic into words. The practice of placing children's bet's neur opeu w lu.lows aud seudiug thtiu out iu winter with wet hair should be condemned. In case of sick ness a physician should be given a full history of the illness from the begin ning, and the causes which produced it.

With babies the front teeth or in cisors are usually tlio first to come. This is at six or seven months old. Th Erst molar teeth, the furthest back ir the jaw, come from the twelfth to the sixteenth mouth. The canines, oi "cyo teeth," as they are called, in the upper jaw come between the fourteentl month and the end of the second year. The second molars come after eighteer. months, or about the second year. Ai a rule the teeth of the lower jaw come a little ahead of those in the upper jaw. A buby lias twenty temporary teeth. five pairs in each jaw. The two great symptoms of teething in a child area strong inclination to bite and a marked increase in saliva.

One day, however, be managed to tine his way to his former home, aud rat crying up the steps. Kind neighbors found him knocking at the door of the deserted house and calling piteouslj upon a large cat which stood at the window, and whom he recognized at once to be his old playmate, to "go and tell mamma to open the door." Men and Women Stirred op by Eleo trtrlty. A Hue wire with the electric current struck a Fourth Avenue car in 2s"cw York city the other day and caused the passengers to dauce in the rain. The wire fell from the elevated road aud chargrd the ground. This occurred trom the elevated railroad structure at Houston street and the Bowery, and showers of sparks shot out from the end?. One end reached across the side walk and the other stretched across the street. The rain had soaked the ground and made it a good conductor for the current. I he pavement was so charged with electricity that tieople were shock ed one atter another and looked like a lot of dancing marionettes. Four policemen were kept busy warning peo ple away irom the danger places. Sparks flew iu all directions. Those w ho came near the wires soon danced out of danger. A Fourth Avenue car came bowling along, and the driver whipped up his horses aud dashed through the crowd. He was warned of the danger, but so many people cried out to him at once that he did not un derstand what was said. He urged the horses on until one of them stepped on the wire. The current passed through the animal s iron shoe into its body. The steed made a quicker move than ever before In its Hie. The passengers terrified, ran from the car at either end. As each one stepped to the ground, he or she received a shock. All of them had to Jump, fseveral younc ladies executed lively steps ou the mud dy street and showed an utter disre- guard for hosery in doing so.

LVon't put your Initials or your name over eveiytbing you possess, so that people who pick up a torn or look at a pillow sham will read "John Brown, my property." It's all right to make things of use in some sncb a way, but not thines of beauty, and if you must to mark them make the letters small and put them on the back of the object, not the front. The woman wno wears her Initials in diamonds ou ajbrcoch Is vulzar. The man who prints his mono gram on his china does a useless thing, for nobody is going to run away with bis dishes. Don't assert too much at the table. Don't be too showy and complex. Don't make your napkin rings too emphatic and obtrusive. Put dowers on the table, but place them loosely or in glass, for if you put them In china or any other opaque substance you conceal half their beauty namely, their stems. Dont entirely cover your wall with pictures, and when you have a picture don't let the shopkeeper kill it with a big gold frame. Try bronze or something that will relate to the picture on the wall, and not make it stand out like a big shiny spot or color and gilt gingerbread. Gloss for collars. To starch and imn collars so as to have a good gloss requires the skill th-t romes from practice. Add a little cold wlrr to two tablespoonfuls of good starch ai.U rub to a smooth paste with a spoon; pour boiling water slowly upon the 3tarch, stirring briskly to prevent lump ing. When mixed smooth add a little salt and a piece of mutton tallow or white wax the size of a hazel nut. Many good laundresses add also, tables poonful gum arabic solution (made by pouring water ucon white gum arabic and let ting it stand till clear). Boil the starch twenty minutes and strain though three minutes Use starch scalding hot and rub it thoroughly through the linen so that no lumps are left on the surface. After drying the collars, dip them, an hour or so before ironlng.into cold starch made by dissolving a table spoonful of starch in a pint of water, warm, but not hot enough to scald tie starch. Roll them up in a clean towel and before Ironing rub over with a tine damp cloih. Iron quickly sad polish with a polishing iron on a bosom board. Newspapers in the Kitchen.
