He was a stranger in l Minneapolis and lost his way , so that it IB was midnight when ho found the house. H Naturally she had retired , and her host II said no interview could be had that j ! night. II "Go and tell Mrs. Howe , " said tho be- I lated man , "that a reporter has walked | three miles through the raiu and mud to see her , and it is owing to an accident that he did not arrive sooner. Ask her if sho won't see me. " The appeal was not mado in vain. Tho good old lady sent back word that she } wouldn't get up , but the reporter might come in and ask her any questions he pleased. He went in and sat on tho stairs where he could make Mrs. Howe hear him , and they had a friendly talk. She explained how she came to write • . the " .Battle Hymn of tho Picpublic , " and recited to him some of the verges , which he wrote down by the dim light of a hall lamp.

The best way when hot grease has been spilled on the floor is to dash cold water over it , so as to harden it quickly and prevent it striking into the boards. Oilcloths should never be washed in hot soap-suds ; they should first be washed clean with cold water , then rubbed dry with a cloth wet in milk. The same treatment applies to astone or slate hearth.

It does not follow that sickpersons are asleep because their eyes are shut ; they may be acutely conscious of all that is passing in the room , though unable or unwilling to make any sign ; and nothing can bo more nerve- provoking than hushing and whis pering around and creaking about on the tip of their toes. To season glass and china ware to sudden changes of temperature , so that it will remain sound after expos ure to sudden heat and cold , is best done by placing the articles in cold w ter , which must gradually be brought to the boiling point , and then allowing io cool very slowly , faking several hours to do it.

Thousands start well , but never finish one thing at atime. They have a dozen things on hand and no one completed. Time is wasted on un finished work. Always finish what you begin. One thing finished is worth a hundred half done. The completion of an undertaking yeilds more plea sure and more profit than dozens of plans. The man who is always planning or scheming is rarely , if ever successful. He often furnishes ideas for others who go persistency to work and finish what his ideas suggested. "That was my idea rmy plan , " we frequently hear some one say , but the man who carried it out was the one whobenfitted himself and others. Do not begin what you cannot finish. What youundertake to do , do , and reap the rewards of your own ideas and skill. Manufacturer and Builder. The Fopnlarity ot Hash. "Hash is becoming the popular midday luncheon dish of business men , " said a well known restaurant keeper the other day. "One of the reasons for its popularity is the fact that very little time is wasted in chewing it. It seems next to impos sible for the average business man to eat slowly. He will waste valua ble time talking with acquaintances. He will loiter in his office or in the office of a friend and think nothing of it ; but when the luncheon hour ar rives he makes a rush for the nearest restaurant and bolts his food with alarming rapidity. A young lawj-er will languidly lounge in his office , but when the meal hour arrives 'a transformation takes place. He rushes to the jaearest lunch counter , straddles a stool , and fights with the waiters if not waited on instantly. Hash is what he invariably orders , and it disappears with lightning ra pidity. He then returns to the office and yawns and gaps the rest of the afternoon. No wonder dyspepsia holds high carnival in this city. If business men paid more time and at tention to their midday meal , they would avoid many a doctor's bill. " New York Sun. -1 A Youthful Wonder , Looking over "Watson's "Annals of Philadelphia , " published in 1830 , says a writer in the Pittsburg Dis patch , I came across a remarkable story , which cannot fail to bo of in terest , both locally and generally , even of this late day. The author says : "The good people of Caledonia have so long nnd exclusively en grossed the faculty of second sight that it may justly surprise many to learn that we also havo been favored with at least one case as well attested as their own. I refer to the instance of Eli Yarnnll of Frankfort. What ever were his first peculiarities , he in time lost them. He fell into intem perate habits , became a wanderer and died in Virginia a young man. " This remarkably gifted person was born in Bucks County , Pa. , and came with his parents to the vicinity of Pittsburg. The account of him con tained in tho narrative before men tioned is in substance as follows : When Yarnall was living near this city , being then a child only seven years of age , as he was sitting in the house one day he suddenly burst into a fit of uncontrolable laughter , vllis mother asked him what pleased "liim so much. The boy replied that he saw his father , ( who was not at home ) run ning rapidly down the mountain side , trying to overtake a jug of whiskey which he had let fall. The jug rolled part of the way down the declivity , but was caught by the old man before he got to the bottom. When the father reached home he confirmed the whole story , to the great surprise of all. After this the boy excited much talk and wonder ment in the neighborhood. About two years later the Varnalls were visited by a friend named Bob- ert Verre , with other Quaker rela tives or acquaintances from Bucks County , Verre , to text the lad's miraculous powers , asked him vari ous questions , and among other things what was then going on at his own home in Bucks County ; the boy described the house , which he had never seen ; stated that it was built partly of logs and partly of stone ; that there was a mill pond in front of the house which had been recently drained , and concluded with a description of the people in the house , and of two persons , a man and a woman , who were sitting on the front porch. When Verree reached home he in quired who had been at the house at the day and hour he had held his conversation with young , Yarnall. He learned that there had been a shower at the time , and several of the field hands had gone into the house to escape the rain ; the persons on the porch had been laithfully de scribed , even to the color of their hair. As to the mill pond , the men had drained it in order to catch muskrats. In short , every eetail given by the boy Avas proven to be accurate. The habit of the young seer when asked to exercise his singular faculty was to hold his head downward , often closing his eyes. After waiting for some time , apparently deep in thought , he would declare what he saw in his visions. He Avas some times found alone in the field , sitting on a stump , and crying. On being asked the cause of his grief , he said he saAv great numbers of men engaged in killing each other. Although he had neA'er seen a battle , a ship or a cannon , he described military and naval battles as if he had been an actual looker-on. Some of the Quakers a\1io saAV him became much interested in the boy , belieA'ing him possessed of a noble gift , and desired to have charge of his bringing up. He Avas ac cordingly apprenticed to a Frank fort tanner , but he attracted so much attention , and so many called at the shop to hold conArersation with him , that his master became annoyed and tried to discourage such curiosity. The boy , therefore , began to shun questions as much as possible , and seemed by degrees to lose his singular gift. He drifted in to bad company and eventually be came a Avreck. His mother ne\-er alloAAed him to take any money for ansAvering ques tions , believing that his A'isions AA'ere God-giATen and that it Avould be AATong to turn them to an account pecuniarily. WiA'es Avhose husbands had long been missing and AA'ere sup posed to have been lost at sea or perished in accidents , and others Avhose relatiA-es whohad disappeared , AA'ould come to him for information. Of those still ali\e he would tell Iioav they looked and what they were do ing. On one occasion a man asked him in jest avIio had stolen his pocket- book , and was much taken back when the lad replied : "No one , but you stole a pocket- book from another man AAiien in a croAA'd. " And the historian of the boy ' s Avonderful deeds states that suclnvas the fact. This is about all there is of the strange narrative , which , like Sam Weller's love letter , ends so ab ruptly that the reader Avishes it AA'ere longer. irS e ' 831 Kova Scotia's "Fairy Rocks. " The Smithsonian Institution at Washington has sent an expedition to Nova Scotia and secured fac-similes of the "fairy rocks , " on Avhich are curious hieroglyphic characters , evi dently very old , which may throAV some light on the history of the early discoveries of America.

Boston Budget. - All housekeepers . should know that ; ( : ' ' sugar boiled with acid , " if it be but three minutes , "will be converted into glucose , which is the form of sugar found in sweet apples. One pound of sugar has as much sweetening power as tAVo and one-quarter pounds of glucose.

If an animal is worth keeping over Avinter he is surely worth protecting from the cold. If ho is worth any feed at all , ho is worth keeping on liberal rations. Animals to be slaughtered in early Avinter will lay on tAvo pounds of fat beforo cold pinches than one pound after that condition comes ; besides , when fat , cold Avill not pinch. Undoubtedly the badly kept , un- ventilated stable is the cause of se rious diseases in horses. Think of an animal being shut up for tAA'elvo hours in a place filled Avith ammonia and exhausted air. Make pets of your colts. Make friends of your horses. Treat them kindly and you will not be troubled AA'ith unsafe and unruly horses. It is but the humane Avay to treat them anyAvay. It is a good plan to feed some of the bone and muscle forming foods , during the fattening process , Avhat- over the system of swine husbandry may be , says the Western Itural. Some people think that feeding this class of food isAvasting it. That is an error. If the food makes musclo it increases the Aveight and Avhat is more it makes the valuable part of the hog. There is no doubt that hogs can be fattened quicker and Avith less food if proA'ided AA'ith good Avarm houses , and the food giA'en in troughs. Use liberally of salt and wood ashes , cinders , refuse coal , slacked lime , brimstone and charcoal about once a A\reek , each in small quantities. AboAre all things see that your hogs haA'e unfailing appetites and are in good condition physically. SAvine Breeders' Journal. Get the coav that giA'es milk all the year round as far as possible. It is a great loss to "dry up" coavs Avhen it is not necessary. It takes tAVO- thirds of all the good coav eats to keep her aliAre and Avithout loss of flesh , and the other third of ordinary good rations to enable her to yield milk. The expense of tAvo-thirds of the money-earning rations has to be incurred AA'hen the coav is earning nothing. Live Stock Indicator. Dr. S. M. Babcock has shown that there is a clear loss of 2.73 pounds of butter per 100 pounds of cream , through churning the SAveet cream before mild acidity AA'as de\'eloped. He tried it so many times , sajr Mr. Hoard , that it may be considered beyond all cavil. But avIio Avill be the next stupid man or Avoman to pour the latest skimming into the churn , the last moment , so as to have all the crpam churned , and out of the Avay ? A correspondent of the Maine Far mer takes great pains to give his cattle all the open air exercise they require throughout the Avinter on warm sunny days. Sunlight and exercise are two of the greatest fac tors in promoting health. Shut up human beings in a cotton , oil cloth or shoe factory , month after mouth , carrying them their food and alloAA' - ing them no exercise at all , and Iioav long before consumption will seize upon them ? It is silly to think that cotton seed meal or any other high ly concentrated food will originate tuberculosis or pleuro-pneumonia. A Montana sheep breeder offers to rent ewes at fifty cents a year , the man taking them to have the avoo ! and increase , but bound to return the full number at the end of the specified time. As the sheep are worth perhaps § 2.50 each , the capi talist makes twenty per cent , for his money and risk. This seems large , but in the Territories farmers often pay higher rates than this. Tavo per cent. 'a month is a frequent price for the use of money there. This is tAA'enty-four per cent , a year , and as it is often compounded several times in tweh'e months , it amounts to con siderably more than this , • - - To Keep Fresh 3Ieat. In the Winter season it is often de sirable to keep pieces of fresh meat , especially pork , sparerib , etc. , as long as possible. Without a refrig erator or ice-house , it may be accom plished very satisfactorily by allow ing the meat to freeze hard and then packing tightly in a barrel Avith snoAv AA'hen it can be obtained , and placing the barrel in a cold place. In this Avay meat can be kept for months , and so lengthen out the period of home-made fresh meat. Care must be exercised and close Avatch kept when the snoAv begins to thaw that the meat does not get uncoA'ered , as it will in a little time become tainted. The alue oTa Pedigree. The male animal , ram or bull , or male of AA'hatever other class of farm stock , needs improvement , must be himself good , from good parents , and the further back the continuous lines of excellent progenitors stretch the stronger reason we have for confi dence that good results will follow his introduction. The lines may so stretch back Avithout a break in the inheritance of excellence , although we may not have the means of blood rTacing them in other jwords , the desqent and the filoQd may be right/ yet unrecorded. Our knowledge can not make any difference in the power orlackofpoAAer. Still , knowledge of the particulars of descent is worth having. It may prove Aery useful sometimes. Let us then , by all means , place the true value upon that knoAA'ledge , and have the pedi grees of our stock , if possible , and take pains to preserve records of des cent for our own information and the information of those Avho may succeed us. I hold that pedigree , ' I II tho longer the better , is a thing to be desired , accompaninji merit granted. London Live Stock Journal , i hi i i Fcnlliern anil Gcer. Tt is printed that tho annual con sumption of feathers in this country for bedding purposes is estimated to amount to 3,000,000 pounds. To furnish this 3,000.000 healthy ge ' eso must give up their feathers in nyear. The geese furnishing these downy pil- Ioavs and beds of ease are to be found mainly in Southern Illinois , Missouri , Arkansas , Tennessee and Kentucky. The climate is cold enough to cause tho feathers to be fine and soft , and not to cold to make their care a mat ter of unprofitable labor to farmers. Below this territory the feathers are quilly and free from doAvn ; above , the cold Winters make geese-farming un profitable , lor when the goose can 't find food for herself , because of frozen land and Avater , she has to be fed , and sho'll eat as much corn as a sheep. Speaking of feathers , here is tho way to pick dead geese : After killing the gooso immerse it in scald ing AA'ater and then Avrap it in a thick cloth for Aa'c minutes. All tho pin- feathers and down Avill then come off easily. In marketing geese they may be scalded after all the dry , clean feathers ha\Te been removed , but caro must be taken not to break the skin. After remoA'ing the feathers immerse the carcass in cold Avater for a hour. The English Speaking' ' Enccs , Of political relations I do not pre sume to speak. Some may be of opinion that , if the United Stn tes hold , as they are likely to hold their politi cal unity a state of such vast dimen sions , Avith Avealth in all likelihood more than proportinate , Avill bo menacing , or 0Aren perilous to tho European Avorld. I do notshare these fears. London , with its 4,000.000 of people , is far better governed , far more under con trol than Avhen it had but one-fourth of its prespnt population. I for one am so sanguine as to belieA'e tha t , long before it has six or eight millions , it will have acquired and will be in the familiar use of , the estimable privi leges ofl ocalselfgoA'ernmentatpresent wanting to it and A\'ill be gOA'crned a great deal better still. Government is , I apprehend , more highly organized iioav in the United States than Avhen they had one-tAven- tieth or one-tenth of their present population. Happily for mankind , the period of large territorial con quests seems to be drawing rapidly toAvard a close , and the available surface of the planet is limited so as to forbid an extensiA-e revival. The internal difficulties of the States ' ha\'e vanished. , as aa'c hope , \ Their causes of contention Avith Eu ropean poAvers , Avhich Avero mainly with oursoh'es , haA'e been , one by one in course of removal , so as to justify the belief that occasions of offense can only bo furnished hereafter by a spirit of Avanton proA'ocation nuchas would lie beyond .all the ordinary limits of human folly. I do not understand prospective European difficulties. But they ap pear to be Avholly European , and they do not reach across the broad Atlantic AA'hich is , upon the whole , apart from other incidents , amiglity guarantee for peace. There has been no AA'ar across the ocean for more than seventy years ; why should tlioro be one for seventy , or tAvice seventy more ? It would be presumptuous to say there Avill not and cannot be an unforeseen controversy ; but it need not be presumptuous to hold that there are no British , no European reasons for foreseeing one. Especial ly if the same true and fine instinct , which taught Americans that the Union must be one from New En gland to the Gulf of Mexico , and from the Atlantic spaboard to the Pacific , shall also with the lesson ofi'thus far" teach them as effectually tholes- son of "no farther" and help them more and more to realize the enor mous adA'antage of continuous terri tory. It is in the same cheerful spirit that I Avould touch a second political question , AA'ith AA'hich some British minds may be troubled , Will the uprising nations , AA'hich are still de pendencies on the British croAvn , con tinue for another century to own its supremacy ? My nnsAver is simply this : I hope they may ; I knoAv of no rpason why they should not ; Avhy the alastic relations , AA'hich now happily subsist , should not continue to find room and verge enough for including and adjusting such noA-elties as may arise. It is true that some great Avar might stir up a neAV class of difficul ties , but I do not despair of finding the resources of civilization to be suf- ficent for solvingthem. In the recent history of colonial relations , centri petal has been stronger than centri fugal force ; and the vague possibili ties of separation haA'e thus far be : > n dAvmdling and not growing. AA'ith tho lapse of time. E\en so it is that according to my judgment and experience there is an approximation actually at Avork , be tween Englishmen and Americans. They are being drawn nearer and nearer to one another , not by any artificial contriA-anees , but "Avith the cords of a man. " Not in proof but in illustration ' . < f this sentiment , I may refer to the in creasing number of marriages be tween English and Americans , and the entire genial character of their social result. All my life long I haA'e in a AA'ide and varied circle seen and shared 'the intercourse of the tAA'o countries. It is not the same as it was. It has been visibly softened , melloAved , ripened. An American stranger is to us more and more like a British stranger , and I hope that a British stranger istmore and more like an American stranger. It there is a space | between , it is a narroAAing space. The great idea of common j inheritance , and to a large extent of common prospects , more and more regulates , our relations-and makes easy and familiar the conditions of mutual approach. If not the actual sense , yet something like the actual sense , of a common country , is grow ing afresh , and the elements of a new moral unity are gradually both multiplied and shaped into familiar use.
