An Interview with a Poet.

Daring my call upon Hans Christian Andersen, the conversation then turned upon his writings, and I told him how his stories had been the dearest books of my childhood, and seemed associated with all that was delightful in the memory of it. I told him how happy and flattered I had felt at finding the name of the little boy in *olc ShutEye” the same as my own, and that half unconsciously I had appropriated his experiences, and half believed them to be my own. This little confession seemed to touch Andersen strangely. Tears filled his eyes. He seized both my hands and pressed them warmly. “Now you understand," he said, “what a happy lot it is to be the children’s poet. ” I rose to take my leave, but lingered talking, and, on my expressing a desire to hear him read, he half rose upon his sofa, adjusted his pillows, and began to recite from memory “The Ugly Duckling." His manner was easy and conversational, full of caressing inflections, such as one employs in telling a tale to a child. In the pathetic passages he was visibly affected, and he closed almost solemnly. “It is the story of my own life,” he said. "I was myself the despised swan in the poultry yard, the poet in the house of the Philistines. ” I felt suddenly as he finished his recital that I understood the man. I had caught the keynote of his character. All that was good and noble in him rose in vivid light before me. I never saw him again, —Century.

A Diabolical Trio.

If there Is one more fiendish than the hateful trinity, dyspepsia, biliousness and Irregularity of the bowels usually existent together, we are unaware of it. Those 00-operative organs, the stomach, the bowels and the liver, are usually thrown out of gear together, and the restoration of regularity to one is usually the signal for the others to fall Into line. Hoßtetter’s Stomach Bitters controls all three beneficently and completely, not only regulating but Invigorating them. It also exerts a most happy lnfluenoe upon the kidneys and the blood, giving a healthful Impulse and enriching the second. It overcomes malaria and a tendency to chronic rheumatism and neuralgia, and improves appetite and sleep. To the nervous It affords unspeakable relief. A wineglassful three times daily will, if persisted in, achieve results to be expected from no other medium.

Vou’ve had your dazzling day. my dear, O Maud, you bonniest girl of Bonner, But still 1 pass you with a tear, ludeed Ido, upon my honor; I'm first at last, but to the end I’ll ever be your fast, fast friend!

Nancy Hanks’ wonderful work at Chicago the other day is still talked about by trotting-horse men, and (he merit of her performance compared with Sunol’s over a kite-shaped track, and the record of Maud S. over the track at Cleveland is discussed

NANCY HANKS.

wherever a group of horsemen gather. Horsemen are unanimous in saying that Nancy Hanks’ 2:071 to a bicycle sulky was superior to Sunol’s 2:08f over a kite-shaped track. The fleet-footed Nancy is now supreme queen of trotters. Nancy Hanks is a small bay mare, foaled in 1866 at Lexington, Ky. She was sired by Happy Medium, and her dam was Nancy Lee, by Dictator. The young mare was handled by Ben Kinney, of Kentucky, who gave her a 3-year-old record of 2:24J. She followed this up by trotting in 2:14J as a 4-year-old at Lexington, and she was heralded as one of the greatest trotters of the decade. In 1891 she became the property of J. Malcolm Forbes, of Boston, for something like $25,000, and at Richmond, Ind., took a mark of 2:09. This was not her most noteworthy feat last year, however, as she defeated the great stallion, Allerton, in one of the greatest races on record at Independence, lowa. Under Budd Doble’s careful handling this season the gallant little daughter of Happy Medium (she is barely 15 hands high) has developed remarkable speed. She is but 6 years old, and the contest for supremacy between her and Mr. Bonner’s great 5-year-old mare Sunol will be closely watched. Mr. Bonner’s mare made a record of 2:08J over the kite-shaped course at Stockton, Cal., last fall as a 4-year old. The following day another world’s record was smashed on the same track, and Hal Pointer was the horse that did it. The fastest pacing mile that had been made previous to that day was 2:06, by Direct, last year. Hal Pointer’s time was 2:051 —the fastest mile that has ever been made in harness.

Evolution of tho Race-Horse. In so fai as a creature endowed witß life can owe its existence to human hands, the race-horse may be said to be man-made. Horses were an important factor in early nomadic life, and were cherished by their owners, and the progress of civilization, so far from breaking this bond, has apparently strengthened it. The animal is not now so essential to human welfare and convenience; science has furnished other means of transportation, and is in a fair way to take all the heavy loads from his back; but in the degree that he ceases to be a mere beast of burden he is transformed into a source of entertainment and pleasure. From a rough and hardy creature, subsisting on such rations as chance and convenience might provide, and suffering the hardships and hazards of toil aDd adventure, he has gradually evolved into a combination of nerves, intelligence, and trained muscle that has but a family likeness to his early progenitors. It differs from them in the same measure that the American Beauty or the La France rose differs from the little flve-petaled pink flower that blooms by the roadside. Like those floral truimphs, he is a product of scifentiflc culture. It is not chance that has given him that peculiar build, that slenderness and lightness that to the expert means speed. His masters have wanted these developments, and they have studied sire and dam and the pedigree of each until they could name in advance the qualities of the offspring. And having secured a horse that has within him the possibilities of outdoing his ancestors, they treat him as a precious belonging, as, indeed, he is. A groom is always in attendance; he is brushed and combed until his coat is like satin; he is fed and housed and exercised with as much care for his com-

fort as for a child’s; royalty itself la not looked after with more solicitnde. The attention that ancient Greeks used to give to their own bodily training is given by modern men to the race horse, and, as a result, he is a marvel of physical perfection. And after all this? Why, when he has been tested and his paces tried, he is put upon the race track, where his beauty and grace and swiftness please the sight and thrill the pulses of the watching thousands as no other spectacle devised for public pleasure could even do.

High and Low Action. Nearly all of our trotting horses have low action. This is eminently advantageous to speed. But, if too low, it causes tumbling, which retards fleetness. High action is very showy, but the excessive expenditure of animal force is not exerted in the proper direction for speed. On the hard pavements this pounding injures the forefeet of even the soundest and most perfect footed horses, and licrses having flat or tender feet soon become lame, and useless for city work. The English and French require the high action and breed for it, and pay well for horses of this mode of going. They even compel excessively high knee action by the severe and cruel checkrein that holds the heads of their horses, so they are like blind animals, compelled to step high for self-protection. There is, however, a decided improvement in this respect, latterly, in England.— American Agriculturist Notes. Whole and cracked corn induces colic in horses, because it is not properly masticated. Establish a reputation in your community for good horses, and buyers will he plentiful. See that the blessed sunshine is not kept out of the stalls. Eew stables have enough of it. Mares should have access to grass some little time before foaling. Living on dry feed during the winter takes' the elasticity out of the muscles. It Is very desirable that colts be thoroughly handled and halter-broken before they are a year old. This will make them gentle and fearless afterward.

Don’t forget that a box stall Is much better than a long narrow one for the horses, especially when they have worked hard all day. You like a wide bed; so does a horse. Don’t go back on your neighbor. If he owns a stallion of the blood and style you desire to breed your mare to, give him the preference. Keep on friendly relationship with him. The man who is awfully particular to have his fine mare bred to a fine horse and then gives the colt a poor showing is wanting sadly In the characteristics of a good horseman. The man who thinks of breeding trotters in this country need not consider the climate so much as the blood, the science of breeding, and the correct development of his horses. The Northwestern Agriculturist states that a strong solution of alum and tannin dissolved in water will toughen the back and breast of animals liable to be galled in the spring work. Wet the places night and morning.

The Foroe of Habit.

A business man of Detroit who has peculiar views concerning the amenities of language sent for one of his clerks recently, and said: “Simpson, I am told you are in the habit of using a great many expletives in your conversation.” “Great Scott! sir, what are they?” asked Simspon in awe-struck tones. “There, I have the proof from your own lips, you see, and I desire a more correct form of speech from you in future. ” “Holy Moses!" exclaimed Simpson excitedly, “we’re not running a Y. M. C. A., are we, sir?” “iNo,” answered his employer, “but is the any necessity for employing such emphatic language in your daily conversation?" “Great Caesar! How can a man help—l beg your pardon, sir, I will set a watch on my lips—it’s the force of habit, I know.” Mr. Simpson bowed himself out and his fellow-clerks at once asked him if he had been called in by the “boss” to have his salary raised. “Jumping Jerusalem, no,” he said. Then he suddenly became mute, and refused to say another word for the rest of the afternoon.

Cows.

The wild cow gives just milk enough to rear the young, and then “dries up.” The modern, high-bred dairy cow does a great deal better than that, especially when she gives from seventy to ninety pounds of milk a day. But the wild cow, or one but a slight remove from her, can still be seen on a good many farms where owners hate “book farming,” and abjure and despise milk records.

He Pressed the Button.

A resident of Riverside, Cal., owns a lazy horse. He fixed up a battery in a buggy to give the animal an electric shock occasionally instead of using a whip. He was to press the button with his foot, and the electricity was to do the rest. At the first pressure, however, the horse kicked the carriage so hard that some portions of it have not come down yet.

Streator Has Kivals.

A corporal, not long ago, seeing a recruit In the ranks with long and unkempt hair, at once knocked the fellow down and asked what he meant by appearfbg with untrimmed locks. Then he had kerosene oil poured on the private’s head and a lighted match applied. It is gratifying to be able to add that this happened in Austria, not in Pennsylvania.

The Sheep.

It is an old maxim that a “sick sheep never gets well,” but this may be due to old-time modes of management. All sick sheep should be removed from the flock and placed in warm quarters on straw bedding. Dryness and clean quarters are more beneficial to sheep than medicine. “Who are the short-handed people now suffering in this country?” asks an agitated exchange. The men who bold bob-tail flushes.

HOME AND THE FARM.

A DEPARTMENT MADE UP FOR OUR RURAL FRIENDS. Farmers Should Indulge In Periods of Observation—A Bank Wall House for Poultry-Keeping Apples-Oeneral Hints on Horticulture. .. —■ Keep Out of tlio Ruts# Farmers, as a class, are very apt to get into ruts and to keep In them, says an exchange, They get into the habit of doing certain things every day, and it seldom occurs to them that it might be a good thing to change. They are not, however, constituted differently from other people, and there is no good reason why the farmer, and especially his wife and daughters, should not be helped by an occasional outing as much as the dweljersin cities. It is true that the farmer’s success depends largely upon the daily personal care of his stock and Us crops, and that it is rather more difficult for him to leave his cares in charge of others than for most men of business. Still it is not by any means impossible to arrange matters In such a way as to leave home for a few days occasionally. Perhaps neighbor Jones would be wi) ling to change work with you for a few days and see that your work is well done, or perhaps you have a son who would be made to feel more manly if you left him in charge of things. It may help him to learn to love a farmer’s life, if you give him the reins once in a while and let him try his hand at driving. A Bank Wall Poultry House. This building is 10x20 ft with 7 ft posts in front, a 3 ft wall and 4 ft posts in the rear. The doors at the ends should be boarded up and entrance made to the two rooms from the hallway, which may be used as a hatching-room. Still better, abolish all doors in front and enter through an end door. The following engraving shows the interior arrangement. The hatching room may be used to

store feed when not used for hatching. The hatching nests will be used for laying until a hen wishes to sit, when they may be closed to the roosting room and opened at the other end. These nests may be raised three inches from the ground. The extra nests are raised 15 inches. Coops may be built under them to shut up sitters.—Edward A. Atwater, In Home and Farm. Peppermint Oil as a Crop. Twenty pounds of peppermint oil per acre is considered a fair yield, but the yield is often greater. The producer realizes from two to four dollars per pound for his crop, which is better by far than any grain cron would yield, and it must also be remembered that this revenue is derived from lands which a short time ago were considered a wilderness and wellnigh worthless. St. Joseph county’s (Michigan) last year’s crop of peppermint oil sold at ten dollars a pound and made the nice total of $40,000 for the growers of the herb. There are thousands upon thousands of acres of such land In the Southern part of the same State that lie unreclaimed, only waiting for intelligent and industrious cultivators of the soil, who have a little capital to be laid out in drainage when they will yield abundant harvests of this and other crops. The expense of drainage is the main one to be met, and this is not great when results are considered. —Western Rural.

Hanging; a Gate to a Tree, Bore a hole through the tree above the top rail of the gate with a 1£ or 2 inch auger. Get young hickory of the size of auger, split it, take one half, bend it around the upright of gate, then pass the ends through the the tree as shown, drive a wedge be-

tween ends. The lower end of upright acts as a pivot in the notch of spur root, or in Impression made in stone buried there. The tree is not injured, and soon heals up, holding it more

secure. It will last as long as an iron hinge and cannot pull off or come out, until wanted out. It can be renewed without making new holes, as in the case of iron rings.—Practical Farmer.

Variation In Quality of Fruit. Fruits of the same nominal kind often differ much in quality. It has been supposed by some within a few years that as most fruits are now grafted or budded, thus variation in quality may depend on the original stock. But it is certain that so much i depends on soil, access to sunshine! and other conditions that little room j remains for other factors. Manuring heavily with stable manures injures fruit quality. These are mainly nitrogenous, and they cause an excess of sap that the leaves cannot wholly | assimilate. Excessive manuring with 1 Borne mineral that injures title roots ! may also cause injury to or entire deBtruction of the leaf, in which case the fruit is worthless. A barrel of brine carelessly emptied near a plum tree in midsummer carried such excess of salt to the leaves that they all fell off, while the half-grown plums remained on the tree, but never increased in size, and when bitten into gave a distinct salty taste In addition to that natural to green plums. Concerning Weeds. The following excellent suggestion j Is from th Baltimore American: “There are a large number of farmers’ clubs throughout the country,and a great deal might be done by hanging a weed chart upon the. walls of these halls, where farmers gather from time to time for mutual improvement and a better understanding of the ways and means of a more profitable agriculture. Weeds have been neglected In more ways than one, and just so far as they are. overlooked and left to themselves,the greater will be the curse. As we look ou*r the premium lists at our thou-

sands of county and State fairs, we seldom see a prize offered for the beat collection of weeds. It seetm, incompatible with our fitness of things to have a good collection of anything that is bad, and yet the fact remains that there is no class of plants about which an increase of knowledge is nnre imperative than these same ugly weeds. A few dollars expended in awards by each fair association would bring together' lists of plant pests, the exhibition of which would not only surprise, but greatly instruct, those who see them. It is not less' important for the farmers of any district to know of the arrival of ai new weed than of the advent of a' new fruit or grain. A Good Corn Knife. Take the big end of an old handsaw, and take off old handle, saving the screws. Make handle any length

desired, and screw on, then grind back of saw sharp and you have the boss corn knife. Good Fenoeg and llroaoe Cattlhy. It is to many a matter of wonder why cattle should show an instinctive desire to get into the next field. But if we consider that the next Held always has a crop of very inviting corn, or small grain, or splendid grass to be cut for hay, the wonder ceases. Cattle are much like humans in their behavior; we all want to trespass on forbidden ground, and the greater the difference between that and our own quarters, the stronger our will “to get there.” If grazing stock is put on first rate pasture, as it should be, there is no desire to break out. Pasture must be cultivated as well as plow land. All bare spots must bo scratched up with a harrow and seeded to grass, and the whole field kept as nice and clean as a lawn. Prevention is better than cun’, and it is no great trick to teach a cow to behave herself. To Keep Applet). A correspondent of the National Stockman gives his plan of keeping apples: “We made a board cave and covered it with earth. The ends of the cave we boarded up about sixteen or eighteen inches from the bottom and banked up to carry off the water, leaving open above to admit air until cold weather. The end from the storm should remain open all winter unless to severe freezing. Put a layer of straw in the bottom of the cave and put the apples in as soon as picked from the trees. A pples kept in this way retain their firmness and flavor better than when kept in a cellar. We have apples up to date, June 10, that were put in the cave early the previous falL *'

Plum, for Profit. Those who have heen longest engaged in plum growing say that it is the most certainly profitable fruit grown. The fact that curculio destroys the crop cf those who do not give it care makes it all the more profitable. If there were curculio every year, the careful plum grower would ask nothing better. The glut in the plum market occurs usually when the curculio fails to put in his appearance, and plums are grown by the careless and thorough cultivator alike. Low prices, paying very little to the grower, show what the plum business might be every year if the curculio did not make plum growing a business requiring skill rather than dependent on chance. Mortioulturul Hint*. If you want your berry bushes to be productive, lieep cut back. Low growing vegetables may be cultivated between raspberry rows. Cut off and burn all the black knots on your cherry and plum trees. Always set out a few of the best varieties of early and late sweet apples. Fruit trees along the roadside are an invitation to all to help themselves. In starting an orchard, it is better to trust to old varieties than to experiment with new. TnE earlier varieties of fruits and vegetables are not usually as fine flavored as the later ones. One of the best of garden fruits is the currant, and It is easy to raise with the use of a little helebore. Agarden once laid outand planted, it comes easy and natural to keep it up year after year, and it pays. Celery is now grown by planting it so thick on rich ground that it shades and bleaches itself much better than throwing soil around it. It was once thought that soda was not necessary to growth of a plant. Since then it has been found that no plant ever grew that did not contain it. Carefully saw off broken branches of fruit trees, sharp-knife the wound smooth as possible, then paint over with any common pafnt. This preserves the wood, and prevents rot starting at that point

Housekeeping Notes. Never butter your pie plates, but dredge them lightly with flour. To scour knives easily mix a small nuantlty of baking soda with the brick dust. \To stone raisins easily, pour on bailing water and let them remain in aishort time. To test nutmegs, prick them with a pin, and if they are good the oil will instantly spread around the puncture. Put salt on the clinkers in yout stove or range while they are hot, after raking down the fire, and it will remove them. Wet boots and shoes may be kept from shrinking out of shape when drying, if, as soon as taken off, they aye tightly stuffed with newspapers.

Reportorlal Shrew[?]

A certain newspaper reporter, assigned to Investigate the case of a young woman at a hotel said to be in a trance, represented himself as a dootor so that he would be allowed to see the viotlm. He put on a wise air, gravely felt her pulse, and then turned from the bedside. “What is the best to be done?” inquired those in waiting. “The best thing to be done is to douse her with ice-water," said the pretended doctor. This was done, and the young woman awoke from her alleged trance, got up and dressed in a hurry, and left the house in a huff. This “trance" maiden was on ly recovering from a pleasure jaunt, over the Rhine.—Cincinnati Times.
