There la yery little fat la either, .
such is the appetite of a breeding so
that she will fatten rapidly If given all
she can eat of either of these. But ti e
pigs thus nourished before birth will
be strong and vigorous, and what f -t
the sow has will not be in any danger
of making her nervous or feverish. If
a supply of beets and mangel wurtzl
have been provided they will be worth
more than grain to feed to breed in?
sows as to cooling diet for those i! Im
posed to lay on too much fat. No
other kinds of root Is eaten by pigs of
any age so greedily as are beets and
mangels. As a part of the supply
even for the fattening animals they
are almost ludispenfable. The exclu
sive gra in feeding of fattening hogs Is
very bad for their digestion, and if the
pig la made sick while preparing for
the butcher it is hardly to be wondered
at that his pork will give dyspepsia to
those who eat it.

Uat "Subscriber" Would Like to
Know
We have recently received a lettei
from one of our we'.l-known subscr b
ers upon a eubject which we prefer to
publish for the perusal of onr readers .
anticipating that in so doing some or.e
will relieve us or the respouainllity ot
answering "Subscriber's" questions.
Here is the letter:
"Mj Dear Euitr: For several years
past 1 have been the recipient of sev
eral pamphlets issued from time to
time by Messrs. II. II. Warner & Co.,
of Rochester, V., which, in addition
to containing an extensive treatise upon
kidney dl?ease, its origin, usual symp
toms and growth, also includes nu
merous testimonials from parties whose
fac-sitnile signatures are attached
thereto, attesting the statement tl:it
they hav been individually relieved by
the use of Warner's Sfe Cure, which
la prepired by the above firm, for the
use of persous so attlicted. Xovr, Mr.
Editor, I would like to know if the
statements made by those parties who
testify to the great good which War
ner's Safe Cure has done them, can be
relied upon. They seem honest enough
from the way they read. "Warner's Safe
Cure saved my life after the doc
tors hal given me up," says John
Doherty, I'.l'X X. Main street. Concord,
X. IT. "I was given up to die with
Bright's Disease of the kidnevs. The
doctors said they could do nothing for
me. A friend advised me to take Warn
er's Safe Cure, and my family consider
me as given back from the grave,"
says Mrs. Carrie A. Fry, of Wathena,
Kas. Dr. L. B. Hice. of Hanover, C.
II., Va., says that Warner's Safe Cure
curd him of Bright's Diseased
Each pamphlet which I have re
ceived contains a hundred or nioie
testimonials, and the same one does not
appear In more than one pamphlet, so
It seems that there are a good manv
who are being helped by that remedj.
It strikes me that there ia a good
deal of sense In claim which those
parties make that the doctors are treat
ing too many perrons for wrong cau
ses, and that ofteutlmes, people are
treated for consumption, brain, heart
and nervous disorders, when they are
suffering from kidney disease which
should be treatsd. as they say, by the
use of Warner's Safe Cure and as a
result, when disease is first removed
therefrom, that which Is supposed to
be disease In the lungs or other organs,
will disappear. Many of my neighbors
tell me that this remedy has done much
good for them more good than their
doctors. If kidney disease la the real
cause of so many other diseases why,
Mr. Editor, don't the people who are
afthcted with sickness, insist upon a
more careful Inquiry being made, in
order that the true cause may be as
certained, and the proper treatment
given?" "Subscriber."
Cultivation of Horseradish.
There is a largely increasing consump
tion of horseradish, which Is now
found regularly on the tables of ail
hotels and restaurants, as well as of
most private families. It is also ex
ported In large quantities, and Is pre
pared for the retail market by bottlers
who make a special business of it
They require smooth, large roots, free
from knobs, and for such the present
price Is 8100 to 1120 per ton. The
rough. Inferior qualities sell at any
price they will bring, being bought
by street venders who grate them by
band.
The best soil for this crop is a sandy
loam or reclaimed hot which has teen
thoroughly cultivated for several years
and Is free from ".ones and roots. I'low
it thoroughly. I'low as deeply as pos
sible, then make trenches three or four
feet apart, running the plow backward
and forward, throwing the soli out
each way and making the trench
eighteen or twenty inches deep. Bolt
ing a piece of hard wood plank on the
inside of the mold board, letting it ex
tend back about two feet, treat y
facilitates throwing the soil back.
When the trench is completed CM it
three or four inches deep with well-
rotted stable manure and tread It down.
Cover the manure with soil from l.alf
an inch to one inch deep; then drop the
cuttings in a straight line three ituhes
apart along the trenches. Tor cuttings.
any pieces or trimmings about the siz
of a lead rencil or larger will do; thry
mar he of any length, from one to
four inches. Then rua a plow on the
ridge thrown out or the trench, turn
lug the soil in the treuch so as to cover
the cut tings with about four Inches of
soil. When they have sent up sprouts
which begin to show, run the plow on
the opposite side of Ue ridge, throwing
in about lour Indira more and so con
tinue until the trenches are filled up.
and in their places are ridges eight
inrlies high.
To g.ither the crop plow away the
soil from one side of ea.h row so as to
pull the roots out easily. Then trim
off all small kibres or roots: al-o cut the
toiis cUk-o to the ground. The roots
must then be thoroughly washed and
laid in a shai'y place to dry, when they
will be ready for shipping.

TDK high winds shake young trees
severely, aud if the ground is very wet

It has been found that a ton of bay
absorbs in Its growth thirty pounds of
nitiogen. worth (4 SO; forty pounds of
potash, $2. and rourteen pounds of
phosphoric acid, worth $1.12. There
fore, each ton of hay shipped from the
farm takes with it $7 thi worth of these
three elements, which must be replaced
or the land will be weakened by just
this sum. It does not pay to sell bay
at 18 per ton. Better feed where grown
and sell in the form ot beef, pork,
butter or milk.

ELSIE LESLIE.
The Child Actress Who Plays LorO
Kaandr-roy.
Before "Little Lord Fauntieroy.
Mrs. Burnett had written for St. AicA
oias a short story called "Ediiha'i
Burglar," the story of a little girl whc
tried to influence a burglar not tt
"burgle" loud enough to awake oi
frighten her mother. Mr. Augustui
Tbomaa dramatized the story, making
a charming little play which Mr. Froh
man of the Lyceum Theatre wished tc
bring out. The question waa who,
could act ..'( A a It must be a child,
of course, and a child who would enter
Into the spirit of the part. So it came
about that a little girl named Elsie
Leslie Lyde was chosen; all who saw
ber know bow well she embodied the
character. Her success as KditKa
hd naturally to her playing the part ot
I'uunt'crou and now the little girl U
inseparably associated with her per
fect personation of the little lord.
Elsie I-eslie Lyde is not 10 years old.
She waa born In Xew Jersey, not far
from Newark, of mixed English and
Amu ican ancestry. Her mother'!
fani lly are English, but they have for
some years been settled In America.
On neither side have there been any
actor, though there have been a few
writers and raore clergymen. E!siet
than at c geniua is a surprise to every
one, and it is as great a surprise that
she has preserved her entire unaffected
n?ss, her simplicity and childish charm,
when we consider that much of ber
life is passed before the footlights, and
that applause is constantly ringing In
her ears. But this only proves that she
cau act FaunlUroy because she is like
him in heart, and spirit, and feeling.
She had been playing for a little time
with Mr. Joseph Jefferson in 'Uip
Van Winkle" berore she undertook
AW'i'i'i. As MitiUe and Uendrick net
atil.ty was clearly shown, and when
Fauntieroy" was dramatized by Mrs.
r.uit.elt and brought out in England.
Ei.i.e wai engaged to create the roll In
Anfiica. The child, in her home life,
it a-lu iraMy trained and very judicl-ou.-ly
raved Tor. Undoubtedly she poa
H-sat'.H a genius, which, sooner or later,
m;e y would have asserted itself. And
tl.e has her future to consider above aLi
things. She is to be well educated, and
I think her professional life at present
tends toward that. Xo child's per
form. mce could be better than bei
FfuutUroj. Through the pages ot
Ait tutu the story had spoken tc
itiiusands; and dramatizing It was only
to extend its sweet influence. There
had never before 'jven a play all cen
tered Hbout a child; with no love-story,
very little side-plot; the moral lesaon
just what the child'a life taught.
Here, at l.tst, was such a play, and I
th.i.k of all children I have known:
Elsie was best fitted to enact the hero.
I'erhaps I could do no tetter than to
give my readers an account of an ac
tual day in Elsie's life.
1 have told you of Elsie's aunny
room there, late in the morning, she
awakes. Meta, Ler French nursery- j
goverr.es?, appears, and Elsie is bathed
and dressed aud has a simple, whole- j
some breakfast. I think sometimes It .
must be hard work to dress her, for she ,
is "ou the hop, sklpaud jump," wanting :
to take up this, that or the other, and t
cot liking a bit better than any other ;
little girl to have the little tangles (
coiubtd out or ber profuse golden hair.
(And just here I may mention for the ;
Lenelit ot interested readers that Elsie '
never wears a wig. )
Tli fthnvpr nf cmMpn t rpscps vrhirli
Fauntltioy tosses about are all natural, I
is blie knows to ber sorrow many a ,
morning. As to her drea, she wears !
guiniies and Greenaway gowns at j
home simple, childish and pretty, and
she has a keen sense of color and taste
ful sdoinment, though I have never
detected any vanity in her. Xatur
ally she likes to find something to make
a train out of and to walk about
"playing Jady" I should be sorry for
her if it were not so.
After breakfast she plays with her
dolls or amuses herself at ber desk.
Midday sees ber In the park or at
the riding-school, then home again
blooming and gay. She has her lun
cheon, more play and then comes the
tug of war, the afternoon napl Ob, I
know ;ill children will sympathize with
her disl ke of thisl The other day
visions of my childhood arose aa Elsie
tried to postpone the unwelcome bourl
e had been talking and tlien cams
the order:
"Xow, Elsie, time for your napl"
Elsie Is silting on my lap. We have
bteu discussing various things, and she
remarks: "Oh well one moment
uhit were you saying about 'uni
ridicm "
"E'.sie!" comes gently from her
mottier again: 'You must go to bed
now."
Elsie slides down reluctantly reaches
the door goes down the ball cornea
back.
"Well cee here before you go
oh. I I note what I wanted to say. Can
you play any o' the 'Tearl of I'ekin?"
I confess my incapacity for this per
formance, while Elsie hovers around
the door.
"Well I can a little oh, pleaae let
a.fl'
A moment later she Is at the piano,
with head on one side, busily picking
out one of the operatic airs.
"Xow, Elsie, you mint go."
Well, very lugubriously, "1 sup.
16f so."
Aud the little girl disappears in
M eta's direction, to awake two hours
later, have a light dinuer, and then
drive to the theatre.

The Uses of Lemons Lemons
are a most -valuable fiuit, not only for
cooking but also for medicinal purposes
and the toilet. If the juice of a lemon
is taken everv morning before break
fast for two or three weeks, in the
spring tirpe. it will prevent the disa
greeable feeling of weakness and want
of energy peculiar to this season.
Lemon juice, made thick with sugar
and a little salt, will relieve hoarseness
and a hacking cough. A piece of lemon
peel, with pulp attached, if bound upon
a corn, will relieve it in a few days. It
is also an excellent remedy for chills
and fever, and If a teaspoonf ul of sugar
and a large pinch of salt is stirred op
with the pulp and eaten with a spoon
every morning, will break up malaria
troubles. As a cosmetic, it is of great
service in removing freckles and sun
turn. Aiply the pulp and juice at
niKht to the face and Lands, and wash
off In water In the morning. It is also
valuable for its powe r to detect any
dangerous ingredients in cosmetics,
powdeis or liquids. "Place a teaspoon
ful of the cosmetic in a wineglass, and
squeeze some lemon juice upon it; if it
effervesces, it is a Eure proof that the
cosmetic is dangerous, and would ut
terly ruin the complexion, for small
pox it is also highly recommended, the
patient being allowed to drink freely of
the lemonade, and to sack the clear
Juice, if palatable. In all fevers, the
juice of lemons is of decided assistance
A Spool II a o These convenient
little bags are made of gros grain fCC,
using any shade which may be pleas
ing. Cut the material fourteen inches
long and six inches wide.turn a narrow
hem down on each siJe and across the
ends, then stitch in the hem with the
sewing machine, using silk to match
the shade used for the bag. Turn up
an inch and a half across each end and
stitch to make three divisions or pock
ets as receptacles for the spools, and on
thrse embroider the number of the
spools. Cut. fur the needle book, two
pieces of white merino or very fine white
dannel an inch narrower and two Inches
shorter than the silk. Button hole all
around the edges or these leaves with
sewing silk the color of the pockets and
p ace these leaves on the under side of
the spool bag. Divide exactly in the
middle and gather with strong thread
or sewing si:t. The pockets are thus
on the outside of the bag, the needle
book within. Sew a ribbon loop to the
part which is gathered and finish with
bow and ends. The bags are very
pretty and useful, and will prove an
ornament to any wjrkbasket.
PLUM Cakes. Take one cup of
butter, two cups of brown sugar, yolks
of three eggs, white of two eggs, half a
cup of milk, half a cup of dark molas
ses, half a teaspoonf ul of soda, half a
pound of raisins, stoned and chopped,
half a teaspoonful of cream of tartar,
half a pound of currants, two table
spoonfuls of any fruit syrup, four cups
of flour, two teaspoon fu Is of mixed
spices. If not dark enough, add a little
melted chocolate. Bake in small tins,
aud frost pait of them with the remain
ing white of egg.
Qcixce Jelly. Wipe the fruit
carefully and remove all the stems and
parts not fair and sound. Use the beet
parts of the fruit for canning and pre
serving, and the skin, cores and bard
parts for jelly. The seeds contain a
large portion of gelatinous substance.
Ltoil all together in enough water to
cover till the pulp is soft. Mash and
drain. Use the juice only, and when
boiling add an equal weight of hot
sugar, and boil till it jellies In the
pen.
A delicate dish for dessert is made
by paring six ripe, tart apples.cut them
in halves, put a half pouud of sugar
it to a saucepan with a half pint of
water, add tl e juice of one lemon and
let this boil until it is thick, then lay in
the apples. When tbey have simmered
until tbey are tender, take them out,
drain them on a sieve and let the syrup
boll a few minutes longer. Wheu the
apples and syrup are both cool, put the
apples carefully into a large glass dish
and pour the syrup over them.
Flowers may be kept very fresh
over night if tbey are excluded entirely
from the air. To do this wet them
thoroughly, put In a damp box and
cover with wet raw cotton or wet
newspaper, then place in a cool spot.
Kerosene will soften boots or shoes
which have been hardened by water,
and render them as pliable as new.
.kerosene win make tea kettles as

Bread Omelzt. Put a handful of
finely powdered bread crumbs Into a
saucepan with a little cream, salt, pep
per and nutmeg. When the bread bas
absorbed all the cream break into it
six eggs; beat all together and fry like

Brows Bread. Two thirds of a
quart of Indian meal, one third quart
of rye meal, one half cup of molasses,
one third cup of potato yeast,one pinch
of salt, two cups of milk, two cups of
water.
GRArs Jelly. Select the grapes
when not fully ripe. Wash and drain,
then put them in a preserving kettle,
mash well, and heat till all the skins
are broken and the juice flows freely,
strain and use the juice only, with an
equal weight of sugar.
Soft Giko erbbea d. Take one cup
ot molasses, one teaipoonrul of soda,
one tablespoonful ot ginger, bait a tea
spoonful of salt, one third to one half
cup of butter or drippings (softened),
one cup of milk and three cups of pas
try fiour. Bake In shallow pans in a
moderate oven about thirty minutes.
Handsome picture frames may be
made at home, by glueing ears of rye
or oata, tiny shells, beans or acorns,
noon a simple wooden foundation.
Then coat the frame aad ornament
wuh white paint. When this is thor
oughly dry, cover with metal paint,
either gold or bronze, and if well ar

A correspondent makes inquiries
regarding millet and Hungarian giaw.
1 hey are very similar in appearance.
but tbe millet grows higher and affords
but one cutting, while the Hungarian
grass can be cut every five weeks if the
soil is rich. They are summer crops.
and are not usually sown until May.
The bay from millet and Hungarian
grass is highly relished by nil classes of
stock, and the yield Is usually heavy.
The ground should be well manured,

Some horticulturists are now claim

not easy to keep them within bounds
even with the most persistent work.
It Is common practice with many
farmers to delay set ding tiU tbe ground

in June, before tbe germ has sufficient

Tbe home bred cows are all reared

and are band-red from birth. There
bas never been any difficulty in teach
ing the calves of these cows to drink
tha milk. One lesson, giving the
finger to guide the young thing to tbe
milk in the pail, and then gradually
taking it away, has always been suffi
cient. The calf of a cow purchased
some time ago. and now weaning, has
shown an extraordinary obstinacy and
stupidity In refusing to drink, and
nearly two weeks' time has been occu
pied in teaching it. This cow when
a calf sacked its dam for a month and
ber cales up to this have always
suckc d. The habit is thus inbred.

time ago, at Vienna, which consisted
ot a group of snowy globes. Inside of

found sufficient to mainrajn. k brilliant
illumination for three days.
There waa a certain character In
one of our country towns who was
noted more for the various means to
which be rerorted to earn a Imng than
for bis veracity. At oue time it bap

suspicion.
"1 es'm; caught this very mornin
was tbe reply.
Are you sure?" she continued, giv
ing the load sundry pokes. 'They all
seem to be dead."
D: ad I" echoed the vender "dead!
l es'ui they are dead. They were so
lively when I left borne that I bad to
kill 'em to keep 'em from jumpin outer
the wagon.'
Some Good advice. "John," said
bis wife. don't vou spend more than
you ought for lunches down town? I
can't understand bow it is that tbe
money slips away as it does."
"No. m' dear, I eat (hlc) free lunch
nearly ev'ry day."
"Well, I wish you would give up rree
lunches, John. They cost you more
than we can afford."
Mb. Kenwood "I hear you are
engaged to Mr. Tallboy."
Miss South Park "Who tola yonr-'

the information came from Jack him

"I wish be'd tell me."
A little three year old girl, w hen
ber mother was trying to get ber to
sleep one summer evening, began to
ask questions about a noise outside.
When told that it was caused by a
cricket, she wisely remarked:
"Mamma, 1 think it ought to be
oiled."
Proof. "And do you really
love
me. George?" she asked.
"Love you!" repeated Georee, fer
vently. "Why. while I was bidding
you good bye on the porch last night,
dear, tbe dog bit a large chunk out of
my leg, and I never noticed it till I got
home. Love yout"
"You were a nice quiet little boy in

said tbe minister. "I was very much
pleased with you."
"Yes," said Bobby, "pa said that ir

Patient -'I'm not afraid to die.
doctor, but I dread being burled alive.'
Doctor, cheerfully "Don't let that
worry you. 1 'II see that you ain't,"
On, doctor, come at once, Johnny

"Then the Lest thing you can do is
to get him to swallow a cat."
At Sunday school: Teacher John

thing about money?"
Johnry "Ain't 'nough of It,

The process ought not to occupy more
than a few minutes. Wipe off the sur

simple application of soap and water

Etheeul W ife. rapturously ' O
George! Mrs. Van Doremi bas bougl
the eletant sapphires which have be
on exhibition at Stiffany's. She r"'
112,000 for them. Oh: darlir.j;!
never before or nuce seen suchaih
blue as they are."'
Husband "If you could have ee
Mr. Van DoremL as I did, just a!t.
bis wife told him of ber purchase yo;
would not say that, dearest. He wa
infinitely more blue than the sapphires.
Employer, to commercial traveler
"Good morning, Mr. Smith; Lorn
again, eh?"
Commercial traveler "Yes; struct
town last night on the 7 o'clock run
from Boston."
Why, I came over from Boston on
that train. Strange. I didn't see you."
"Did you take a parlor car?"
"Xo, certainly not."
"Well, that's the reason you didn't
see me."
Proof. Counsel, to witness "You
say, madam, that you were a membei
of the household at the time of tlx
defendant's birth?"
Witness "Yes, sir."
And were in the bouse at that
time?"
Yes. sir."
"You can swear to that positively?
Remember, you are upon oathl"
"Yes, sir."
W bat proof can you offer that yoi
were present when tbe defendent was
born?"
"I'm bis mother."
A little Boston toy aged C, is of a
very imaginative temperament. Quite
recently his mother noticed that at bed
times each night be laid bis little boots
together upon their sides, instead of
Eetting them upright.
"rray tell me why you always place
your boots that way," said mamma,
and the child replied;
"Because they must be t red of walk
ing so much all day I lay them side
ways so that they can rest."
Well, there are different Ideas of
politeness. In a ferry boat a if now
sat and spat against the wall as though
firing tobacco juice at a mark. A calj u
full of ladies were disgusted. Then an
officer came in and ttsked him what he
meant by such conduct.
"Can't you see the notice?" the offl
cer exclaimed.
A framed Injunction framed as fol
lows: Out of respect for the ladies,
gentlemen will not spit on tbe floor."
'And that's why I'm spitting on the
wall instead of the floor," said the pas
senger.
When a little girl was told by her
mamma that Adam and Eve were driv
en out of the Garden of Eden, she in
nocently asked, "Isid they go in a
PUaSeton or a carriage, mamma?"
A. Wisconsin court bas decided that
a husband may open bis wife's letters.
That is all very well so far as It goes,
but what this country wants Is a law
to protect a husband who forgets to
mall Ms wife's letter?.

To make plastic carbons for batteries
the following receipt is recommended
by M. Max XitscheXiesky: Good
coke Is ground and mixed with coal tar
to a stiff dough and pressed into moulds
made of iron and brass. After drying
for a few days in a closed place it is
heated In a furnace, where it is pro
tected from the direct flames and
burned feebly at first, then strongly,
the fire being gradually raised to a
white beat, which is maintained for
six or eight hours. The Are is then
Dermltted tn slnwlv
perfectly cold the carbon Is taken out
of the furnace.
With regard to tbe election of Pror.
Wolcott Glbbs, of Harvard University,
as honorary member of the German
Chemical Society, Trot linmsen, of
the Johns Hopkins University, in a
note writes: "Prof. Giubs is the first
American upon whom this honor bas
been conferred. Its significance will
be appreciated when it is stated that
the list of honorary members Is a very
short one and includes such names as
Bunsen, Kopp, Berthelot and Frank
land." The peculiarity of tbe Cruto incan
descent lamp Is that the carbon is de
posited upon a very slender filament of
platinum serving first as a core and
ultimately forming a compound posses
sing the endurance of the carbon and
the conductivity of the platinum.
Selected Cruto lamps are said to have
given 17-candle power with an expen
diture of only 32 volt-amperes, while
not less than CO volt-amperes are
required for most other 18 to 20 candle
power lamps.
A common trouble in country black
smith shops is the going out of the fire
while the smith is doing work away
from it. This annoyance can be pre
vented by keeping at band a box con
taining sawdust. When the fire seems
to be out throw a handful of sawdust
on tbe coals, and a good blaze will
quickly follow. This may seem a small
matter, but there are many who
will find the suggestion a useful
one.
