I will leave it to any disinterested person to say whether I do not love and admire woman, whether aggregated or segregated, but she dot's do some things which as her friend and admirer I deeply regret. Not long ago I had the pleasure of attend ing one of Mr. Booth’s performances in which ho took the part of Hamlet with great credit to himself, as I afterward learned from a member of the orchestra who saw the whole performance. If I had not promised a former wife of mine that I would never touch liquor I would have lieen amply justified that evening in sat urating myself with bay rum or some other seductive leverage. 1 paid a large price a week beforehand for a seat at the Hamlet performance, because I had met Mr. Booth once in the Rocky mountains and bad made a deep impression on him. 1 had also told him that if he ever happened to lie in a town where I was lectur ing I would dismiss any audience to come and bear him, and he might do as he thought best about shutting up on the following night to come and bear me. Well, I noticed at first, when I went in, that the row before me was unoccupied, and I gathered myself up in a strong, mairiy em brace and hugged myself with joy. The cur tain humped itself, and the first act was about in the act of producing itself, when a meek little gentleman, with an air of conscious guilt, came down the aisle in advance of a woman’s excursion, cowsisring of four female members of his family, I judged. He looked about over the house, timidly took off bis coat and .seemed to be preparing himself for the vigilance committee. Then be sat down to see whether executive clemency could do anything for him. The first woman of the four was jlrobably over 4 ', and yet with her almost beardless face she looked scarcely 38. She wore a tall, erect hat, with a sort of plume to it, made by pulling the paint brush tail out of an iron gray mule and dying it a deep crimson. She wore other clothing, but that did not incense mo so much as this hat. which I had to examine critically all the evening. She moved her head also and kept time to the music, and breathed hard in places and shuddered once or twice. She also spoke to the miserable man who brought her. Her voice was a rich baritone, with a low xylo phone action, and she breathed like the pas sionate exhaust of an overworked freight en gine. When she spoke to her escort I noticed that he shortened up about four inches and seemed to wish he bad never entered society. The other three women had broad hats with domes to them, and the one who sat on my right also sat on her foot. This gave her a fine opportunity to look out through the sky light of the opera bouse now and tLcii. The next one to her wore a deceased Plymouth l^ock rooster in her hat. Tlie fourth one sat in front of an oldub gentleman who went out between the acts and came in with a pickled olive in his mouth each time. He could not see anything on the stage, but he crawled up under the brim of this woman’s hat. with his nose in the mashes of her hair, and his Lot, local option breath in her neck, patiently try ing to sec whether the slender legs in long, black bone belonged to Mr. Booth, Apollinarius or the ballet If you will continue in your excellent paper to sit down on the tall hats, I will get you quite a number of subscribers here.—Bill Nye in New York World. A Practical Son. Old Farmer Slikens hail sent his son to col lege, and received a letter from the young man stating that be was taking lessons in fencing. “Well, I’m du med glad to see that boy Joshua pettin’suthin’pra’tick long ’uth all this luting and Greek and jonimerty and stuff.

They won t mind it after a little, and it makes them better graziers; but he does not stint them to grass alone, unless it be a very good clover lot. At all times and places his hogs hogs have access to salt, and he occasion ally gives them a little bituminous coal, mixed with lime, at the rate of a bushel of coal to a peck of lime, or some crushed charcoal in the slop. If he has fed much charcoal he has likely found out that if given as much as they would eat sometimes would die suddenly, and he has found that instead of the “cholera,” fine charcoal packed tight in the lower bowel, yet lie knows it is good and healthy, barr ing the above danger. I bis man keeps his breeding stock in good condition, but never fat. His young sow goes to the boar at seven or eight months, and if she is a good br eder, careful mother and heavy milker, after the first litter he lets her run six months before coupling again. He knows it pays better to sacrifice some size for a better mother, a better milker and a better breeder. He keeps his boars and barrows in a lot by themselves, out of sight and hearing of sows. If there is cholera within reach he will give some of his less par ticular neighbors a young boar for service sooner than let strange sows come on the premise«, no matter what fee may be offered. And he is always on such terms with his stock animals that they will step up and speak whenever they meet him. This the good “hogman” will do, and more, his herd will be “cholera” proof, and he be paid double for it all. globules are first broken up, and thus sot at liberty. They are gathered to gether first in the form of granules, and if the churning is still further carried the whole is gathered into a solid mass. The proper temperature for churning is about 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Too violent churning produces excessive friction. The but ter is produced more speedily, but at the expense of color and flavor. If the temperature is too low the expan sion of the fat globules is not perfect, and increased friction is required. Here again deficient flavor is the re sult, and the butter is soft and will not keep. The action of the air upon the cream in churning is to oxydize the coats of the fat globules and thus as sist friction in the separation. It makes no difference what kind of churn is used so long as air can be ad mitted. Speed in churning is easily controlled. It should be such as to produce butter in from twenty-five to thirty-five minutes. Chicken ICaiNing;. All who try to raise chickens in the old-style way know how hard is is to get enough for the little ones to eat. Whenever food iB thrown out to them the old liens rush and pick it up, crowding or driving the little ones away. In such feeding, a pen which the chickens can enter, but which will not admit the old hens, is a necessity. This is really the only way to enable the little ones to get enough to eat. Such pens can be easily made by any one who can handle lumber. One is made by laying poles up in log house fashion. The space between the poles are just large enough to let the chickens run through. Boards are placed over the top and held in place by stones or blocks. Stakes are driven into the ground with an ax the proper distance apart. Boards “ or brush can be laid over the top. Some- thing a little more elaborate is made of lath or scantling. Food and water placed in the inside of either of these coops will go to the chickens. NO. 91 COAST CULLINGS.
