Jenny lilnil at n Picnic.
.Springfield Republican : The death
if Jenny Liud ban made us all feel
Doling. It has brought to UH ovor-
.vhelming . memories of emotions , do-
iglits and mental experiences that re
store for the. moment at least , the
histicity of girlhood. Certainly , of all
ingcrs , Jenny Lind was the sweetest
il strongest , and she was a singer of
( Sod's own making , like the birds. Her
trills , eailon/es and variations , were
not artilicial additions to Iho air nho
sang , they were the glad outburst and
emphasis of her own joy in sing
ing , und were never twice alike. To
the very gates of heaven her voice
soared , and we soared with it. If
the angels sang in any other
fashion , then wo did not care
to hear the angels ! Never shall I forget
that last concert at the Fitchburg depot ,
where while she was pouring out her
whole soul in the magnilicent words of
"Hocked in the cradle of the deep , " the
iron girders bent , the rear portion of
the flooring swayed like the deck of a
.ship , and shouts of terror checked her
voice. I was .sitting midway of the hall
and I saw that it was the immense pres
sure of the "standing tickets" that made
the trouble , I was young and light. I
prang to my seat and from Unit to the
back of the settees in front , hastily
touching them as I hurried forward and
dropped directly before the singer her
self. So entranced was her audience
that no puc it ; front of me seemed aware
of the disturbance till my skirts brushed
their shoulders in my hurried
Ilight. Then Jenny Lind , who
was neither startled nor surpised ,
for she had been watching the
crowd , paused in the middle of a note
and lifted her hand. " 1 beg you all to
bo quiet , " she said. "If those who are
standing will go out ono by ono until
the aisles are clear , no ono will bo hurt ,
and all the money shall bo returned to
the box ollice . ' '
to-morrow. She was in
stantly obeyed. Very slowly , two or
three at a time , the crowd went down
the Htairs. There never was u shyer
creature than Jenny Lind , but she stood
on the front of the platform with up
lifted hand wholly forgetful of herself
till the last echo of the last stop died
away. Then she resumed her song.
She said afterwards , "If there had been
but one broken arm I never could have
forgiven myself. " If is the only in
stance on record I think in which a
woman , wholly unsupported , has averted
what would have been a great disaster
by her own moral power.
"How Can Slio Kver Ijovc Him ? "
is what you often hear said when the
prospective groom is the victim of

that unless arrested , will end in con
sumption or perhaps insanity'1" ; Let

A Storage. Think Tank.
BillNjo in New York World : In
fact , Mr. Kdison has now perfected , or
announces that ho is on the road to
the perfection of u machine which I
may bo pardoned for calling a storage
think tank. This will enable- , brainy
man to sit at homo and , with an electric
motor and a perfected phonograph , ho
can think into a tin dipper or tunnel ,
which will , by the aid of electricity and
a new st.ylo of foil , record and
preserve his ideas on a sheet of soft
metal , so that when any ono says to him ,
"A penny for your thoughts , " ho can go
to his valise and give him a piece of his
mind. Thus , the man who has such
wild and beautiful thoughts in the night
aid ) never can hold on to them long
enough to turn on the gas and got his
writing materials can sot this thing by
the head of his bed , and. when thepooti'e
thought comes to him in the stilly night ,
ho can think into a hopper , and the
genius of Franklin and Edison together
will enable him to fire it back at his
friends in the morning while they eat
their pancakes and glucose syrup from
Vermont , or ho can mail the sheet of
tin-foil to absent friends , who may nut
it into their phonographs and utilize
it. In this way the world may harness
the grav matter of itb best men , and it
will be no uncommon thing to see a
do/on brainy men tied uii in a rope in
the back oillco of an intellectual syndi
cate , dropping pregnant thoughts into a
little electric colfee-mill for a couple of
hours a day , after which they can put
nn their coats , draw their pay and go

AND FARM.
Dairying nml Crop-Growing.
Philadelphia Hocord : Dairying ,
though associated with the growing o (
crop * , is a distinct occupation , as homo
dairymen buy nearly all the food con
sumed by the stock , with the exception
of pasturage ; but the main object of.
dairying should bo to save nil that is
not appropriated by the slock for the
production of beef , veal , milk or butter ,
und In order to do this they must use
the manure to produce food another
year. Thus , under general funning ,
the dairy and crop growing are joint
occupations , the ono dependent on the
other. There are hundreds of farmers
who have gradually grown wealthy at
dairying , though they really derive but
little more from the milk and butter
sold than the amount expended for food
as properly nil crops grown and con
sumed by the stock should bo charged
to them ; but the farmer's increase of
wealth is in the improvement of his
farm. If he do not derive largo
profits from his sales his land
will bo gradually growing in
fertility and its value increasing. This
is a feature of dairying that Is often
overlooked. The manure does not re
ceive that consideration It deserves , but
it is equal to a certain amount of ex
penditure made upon the farm , and
always returns more than its equival
ent. Where butter is the principal
product sold olT the farm the loss of fer
tilizing matter in the butter is almost
nothing , it consisting mostly of carbon ,
which is not n valuable element of the
s-oil , and which is supplied to plants by
the air. This is to infer , however , that
the skim milk is fed to pigs and bold as
pork , in which shape itreali/.es u higher
price. When crops are grown and sold
off the farm , as is tno case in wheat-grow
ing , there is a constant drain of nitro
gen , potash and phosphoric'acid , which
must be annually replaced , or the farm
will in a few years bo incapable of
longer producing s.uch crops ; but when
food is purchased and fed to the dairy
cows it is equivalent to the purchasing
of the fertilisers also , as the whole re
mains on the farm , in the shape of man
ure , unless sold as milk , beef or veal ,
the feeding of pigs , however , being an
additional occupation. The science of
farming consists in combining all occu
pations of that character with a view
to enriching the farm and gradually in
creasing the yield until the fullest ca
pacity be reached.
A Fruit and an Ice lloii.se.
Those who have not good frost-proof
cellars in which to store fruits and vege
tables can easily and cheaply make a
house that will answer Iho purpose ad
mirably. A room built with double
walls , having n two-foot and n half space
between , boarded up on the
inside and out , the space closely
filled with cut straw , a
double roof with a three-foot space , and
also filled with straw , will maintain
quite an even temperature the year
round. Such n room is all that is
needed for an ice house , and now is the
time to bo thinking of making one for
this purpose. The two ideas will work
together well. Uoth the fruit and the
ice need a , low temperature for their
preservation , and what provides it for
one will do so for the other. Therefore ,
simply inclose more space , divide it into
two parts , one for fruit and vegetables
the other for ice. A supply of ice will
greatly aid in preserving the summer
fruits , by simply putting a piece in the
fruit-room daily. To be able to keep
fruits fresh for a long period is a source
of profit , and to have a supply of ice
during the hot weather is a luxury so
cheaply obtained that it is simply astonishing
'
ishing any farmer does without i't.
Seasonable Hints anil
Ducks generally commence laving
early. They thrive best in flocks of
four or five to ono drake. As ducks ,
especially Pekins , lay a large number
of eggs in n season , they are very profit
able. Water is not necessary for the
successful breeding of ducks. CT Z ]
Do not forgot to blanket the horse
when it is in the stable , as well as when
it is standing in the shafts waiting for
you at the store or postolllee. It will
save feed to do so , besides adding to
the good appearance of the coat of the
horse , and keeping it in good health.
Whore trees are sent long distances
and from any cause appear shriveled or
dry , do not despair , for they can often
bo saved. Do not plant them as soon as
unpacked , but bury the tree , root and
branch , in moist earth for a few days ,
until the wood plumps up naturally.
It has been demonstrated that the
quantity of meat produced by sheep
delivered to the butcher at the preco
cious ago of from nine to fifteen months
costs exactly half the expense of those
fed to double that ago. 13y bringing
the animals early to the block wo re
duce risks and labor and time , which
in this , as in everything else , moans
money.
A pure bred fowl of ono of the egg-
laying breeds , such as Langshahs , Hou-
dan , etc. , will lay from twenty-live to
fifty more eggs in a year than the dung
hill. Not only this , but they are much
more profitable every way. Pure bred
birds of almost any breed are worth nt
least $15 apiece. There is a largo profit
on rightly managed poultry on the farm.
A correspondent of the' Rural New
Yorker says that when ho practiced
letting the first cucumbers which
ripened on his vines go to seed he had
few cucumbers for table use , and fewer
still for pickles. Now ho picks everyone
ono ho sees as soon as they are largo
enough for pickles , and finds enough
escape notice BO ho always has plenty
for the table.
The utmost care should bo exorcised
to keep the teats in a good sound condi
tion , says a writer. Many a good young
cow has been turned into a kicking cow
by milking her when her teats wore
sore. Wo cannot expect a cow will stand
quietly while she is being hurt in the
process of milking. An uneasy cow at
milking time is a good deal like a cry
ing baby tho.ro is n good cause for the
demonstration made , as a rule.
Poultry-raising .is a business that is
especially suitable for women. They
will attend totho numoiwis small details
whitch are necessary , while but few men
are willing to give the time that is re
quisite.
In a late address Hon. E. Hurnett
said : "To the cow that makes the most
butter from u given amount of food be
longs the prize. To the practical but-
tormaker this alone determines the
profit and wins success. "
Kerosene oil has 'been used success

Feed well , be clean , give plenty of
water , cold in summer , warm In winter ,
milk quickly. Those four rules are
necessary for success in n dairy farm.
The production of seed is more ex
hausting to the soil than the growth of
vine , and for that reason a green mii-
nurial crop does not require to be ma
tured. It tnkcb nfcftrly as much from the
air , through Ita 'leaves and the n.ssiHt-
nnce of the rains , ns it takes from the
soil.

Geese find sale mostly on the Israel-
itish holidays , and are usually sent to
market alive. By observing the calen
dar of such holidays and marketing ac
cordingly bettor prices may be ob
tained.
Although milk is a substance thnt is
quickly affected by its surroundings ,
yet no article of food is handled so care
lessly or without regard to its quality as
r. market product.
By filling up around young trees that
wore set out lost spring they will not bo
so easily shaken by the wind. Many
such trees nro injured by the high
winds at this season.
Turn over the manure heap if it
should show Indications of overheating ,
as the air should then enter in order
to " . "
prevent "flro-fnuglng.
Wo should have potatoes to ship this
season. The crop in Europe ts below
the average ; in some sections there has
been almost an entire failure.
The beef-producing breeds are not
heavy milkers. Those who breed the
best thoroughbreds are content to have
the cows give only. Hufllcient milk to
supply the calveswhich , live not weaned
from their dams until the cows refuse to
longer supply them , ut which tiuio the
calves are well grown. It is the pur
pose of such breeds to convert the food
into llcsh , while with the milkers and
butter-producers the production of beef
is a secondary matter.
Since the weather has become cold
late pigs should bo left with the sow as
long as possible , or they may bo ptunted
in growth. The sow nhould bo fed
plenty of rich slop , and the pigs should
be taught to cat by placing milk in a
small trough as soon ns possible in order
to lessen their dependence on the sow
for a supply. If there be not too many
pigs in a litter , they should not be
weaned under eight weeks of age.
When stock must wade knee-deep in
the filth of the barn-yard colds and dis
ease usually result. Dryness and
warmth arc essential for the rapid de
velopment of bone and flesh. Happiness
and contentment arc as essential to the
success of animals , so far as health is
concerned , as they are with human
beingi- .
Every additional pound of flesh that
can bo added to the carcass proportion
ally lessens the cost of the whole , with
the same amount of food. The more
comfortable the animal is kept the more
rapidly it will increase. Sheller and
warmth represent food , as they save
that to create which food is required.
Young chicks hatched nt this season
cannot bo raised as easily as in Into
spring owing tp the dampness and cold ,
and should therefore be well coo ) > ca
with the hens unfll partially feathered
before given their liberty ! If fed on
clean boards they will not tie us liable
to gapes as when on the ground.
Making first an allowance for fence-
room and pathways , an acre of ground
is about two hundred feet square , und
in estimating tlio yield on plots a quick
calculation may bo made with the uno
of the round numbers , as there is always
a loss of space on an acre of ground or
more from roads , paths , fences , etc.
Whore made for family use , and not
to bo marketed , the salting of tlio but
ter by revolving it in the churn and
placing it on the table in the granular
shite , without working it , is said to be a
practice by some farmers. It is claimed
that the butter possesses a finer flavor
in that condition.
Small losses arenotalwaysobservable.
A loss of ono quart of mi lie per day , at 5
cents per quart for " 00 days amounting
to $10 or more than the interest on the
value of the cow. It should be the ob
ject of the dairyman to gain an additi
onal quart and to keep up the How at all
seasons.
There is always n home market for
fresh eggs. Eggs may bo cheap and
plentiful , hut it is difficult to always ob
tain them strictly fresh. Those' who
have made a specialty of supplying only
fresh eggs have found a ready sale near
home at prices fully equal to those paid
elsewhere.
White Plymouth Rocks nro a new
breed. They are not sis hardy or vig
orous as the standard variety , but , be
ing entirely white in plumage , will
dress easier for the market , as the
white pin feathers will not show. They
have yellow skin and logs , and are
above the average us layers.
Do not wait until the ground shall
hiue been frozen over before putting
rough shoes on the horses , as they may
bo injured should the ground become
slippery. Blankets should be procured
now , and the stalls put in order for
winter use by covering all cracks and
crevices.
A slight leak in the roof of the stable
jnay not cause much damage , but it will
allow a certain amount of water to reach
the floor , thereby rendering the stable
damp. In cold weather dryness pro
motes warmth , while nothing conduces
so much to lung disease as moisture.
Attention to Gardens.
To the Editor of the Bee : Now is
the time to give gardens a little atten
tion. No matter how hardy the plant ,
it is better to give it some winter pro
tection in this climate. Tlio first thing
to do is to bank up around the plant
with earth. The object of this is to
protect the crown of the plant ( that is
whore the stalk and root join ) , keep it
dry , and Keep it from freezing and
thawing. Everyone knows or should
know that animals and plants can stand
most cold when dry. Roses and small
plants may i then bo covered ,
or partially1 covered , with old
barrels , boxes , or boards , but not so as
to entirely obstruct the free circulation
of the air. * '
Grape vines hould bo laid flat on the
ground or nsnearKO , as ] K ) sihlc not to
break the vine and hold down by a little
earth or any weight that will keep them
in place.
The additional yield of fruit and
flower will amply pay for all his trouble ,
and many times save the plant St.solf.

ELEPHANT HUNTING.
How ( lie MotiHtrotiH IlrutrN arc Cap
tured Alive in India.
LontfiunnV Magazine : Tbo first tiling
to bo ( low ; is to linil tbo herd of olo-
pbants wbieb it is intended to bunt. Its
position bas been previously abcortained
an nearly as possible.but of collide a few
days. , or a few bours may luivo made
( jreat changes , and home sudden alarm
may huvo driven tbem all right away ,
or tbe bord mny huvo been divided , or
it may turn out that another herd has
approaehed it and may be induced , by
some adroit iimmKuvenng. to join it.
Tbo herd having boon found without its
being alarmed , the next thing is to sur
round it at a distaiieo by a light cordon
of men , and to guide its unconseious
btcps toward the kheddah in which it
iw to bo enclosed and captured.
The goiteral idea of a knoddab
may be taken from an open pair of
compasses , of which the round head or
hinge represents the enclosure into
which the elephants are to be driven ;
while the outspread arms of the compass
represent the long lines of obstaclcB or
scares , by which the elephants are pre
vented from btrnyiiig to one side or the
others so that they advance through tbo
purposely undisturbed jungle in the
center , b'otwecn the gradually converg
ing lines of obstacles , the kheddah or
inclosure already mentioned. The ele
phant in a timid and cautious animal. If
it meets with any chopped brandies of
trees , or indications of the presence of
man , or anything to which its eyes are
unaccustomed , it will not advance in that
direction. The real dillieulty of the
hunters lies in mulling their lateral
lines of obstacles butliciently obvious to
the elephants without alarming
them too much. At thin
early stage of the proceed
ings not a man should show himself ,
lost the wild elephants should be fright
ened and make a stampede. The ani
mal should bo left to prldo himself on
his own cleverness at having detected
signs of danger , in consequence of
which he advances in what seems a wife
direction. But as the devoted herd
gets further and further inro the funnel
of the converging lines , much btronger _
measures have to bo adopted. Consid
erable pressure is put on them from be
hind , to urge thorn on in the right
direction ; and simultaneously the visible
obstacles along the sides have to bo
much .strengthened and eflectively
guarded , to prevent the herd from
breaking through them. As the elo-
iihants actually approach the kheddha
itself there is no longer any conceal
ment on the part of the hunters. The
tiring of gunsand the boating of drums ,
and loud shouts and noises , with long
lines of fires , made out of the dried
grass and brushwood , which have been
collected for this purpose , compel the
aflirighted animals' to push onward ,
until they finally enter the kheddha it
self , where at lirst all seems compara
tively silent and pafe.
With rcgurd to the actual kheddah
or inclosiiro , in which the elephants
are captured , a few words may sullice.
Many people may have seen the models
of the Ceylon elephunt "kraals" at the
late Indo-Colonial exhibition. They
bhowed a fine post-and-rail fence of
roughly hewn wood , surrounding a
spnco in which the captured elephants
btood Micured to trees. This , however ,
MJarcely gives an adequate idea of the
Indian kheddah. It is , of course , sur
rounded by a fence ; but the posts and
rail are hugo trees nnd largo
branches , and stoutly inter
twined , and btrongly supported by
groins to prevent them from yielding
to the rush of the elephants
trying to escape from their cuptors. _
And if there is time to dig it , a
comparatively small ditch inside the
fence adds greatly to its strength. The
elephant PCOS the newly dug enrth and
fears a pitfall. Its feet sink into mud
and water , and the force of its charge
against the fence itself is thus broken.
' when all the herd have
1'rej-ontly , entered
'
tered the'inclosuro , a ponderous gate is
closed behind them ; and this gate haste
to be stoutly fortified , and also defended
by a number of men , firing blank curt-
ridges In the face of any elephant that
charges at them. In the same way , the
whole circle of the kheddah is lined on
its outer fide with men , firing guns und
brandibhing torches to repel the charge
of the olophuntu , until the whole herd
morally and physically collapses , and
tries to hholter itself in whatever cover
may still bo found from the trees and
jungle left standing in thu inclosuro.

AND
The Decadence ol * KilllnrdH.
The poor attendance at the billiard
tournament is another incontestable
proof of the decadence , says the Chicago
News , which has allected the game of
billiards for the last lifteen years. This
luck of interest is-bololy due tothccniiib-
culation that has been going on for that
length of time in everything relating to
the game from the size of the tables to
the rules of the players. Every techni
cal change which has been made , from
the time when the feido pockets were
abolished to the introduction of cushion
carroms has boon framed with the HIMJ-
cial intention and design of repressing
those features of the game of most inter
est to the public , mid to restrain the
players by surrounding their actions
with restrictions of every bort.
DThcro has hardly been an "improve
ment" in the game that hah not nar
rowed the limitations of the player und
made his work more monotonous. Those
who tinkered with the game received
ample warning of what the result of
their meddling would beand the proph
ecy has come true , for u billiard mutch
under the latest rules is not only a
tedious game , but is apt to bo tain'led
with the odor of illegitimate specula
tion.
tion.Thus
Thus , instead of progressing , the
game has steadily gone back , or as it
is now being played ciishion-carroms
with u handicap it has become the
bport of the book-makord , a verita
ble gambling performance in which
Mime of the most remarkable players
the world has produced , instead of work
ing loTaibO the game and their fellow-
players , have buffered themselves to l > e
dragged down to the level of the black-
jogs who infest the billiard rooms. . lla\-
ing rejected every invented shot which
has added variety or zest to the game ,
tlicbo kings of the cue t-eoin content
with a specie if the gumo which is
monotony itself and in which no progress
has been made since it was discovered
more than bovon years ago.
It is time Unit the presnand every ono
interested in this most graceful and
scientific garni- should begin a move
ment to check the decay which threat
ens it.
