Such delicate touches of the artist are not al- lowed. Without asking questions the host pulls a flask from under his coat, takes out a teed and places it beside a tumbler before the visitor. Sogar and lemons are not to be thought of. The Visitor pours out his “three fingers,” tosses it off at a gulp, and with a wry face proceeds to settle. In other places the style is more pretentious. A demijohn is hauled up out of the cellar by a rope through at ein closet. In such cases it is not Hol n’s choice as to name, but the quality is as villainous as the genias of adultera- terscan make it. At the druggist’s, the thirsty soul who knows the ropes tips the proprictor & wink atd walks straight into the: k room, where, pressing one hand tightly upon his waist- cl putting on a woe-begone countenance, “What is good for a pain, doctor?” or, “My system is very much out of order, can you do ‘anything for me?” And the doctor tal down a decanter, or draws a tumberful of liquid from a suspicious-looking barrel labeled “Kero- sene,” and hands it to the visitor, whose ailments are all speedily cured, if the smile that plays upon his features is an indication. In some of the drug stores, during the early part of the ‘res form” movement, an extra clerk was necessat to put up the “kerosene” prescriptions for head, ck and other aches, and disordered systems oy.

Old residents of New Bed- ford, who have watched the movement, say there is no difference in oe to the amount sold, only it is done privately. Perhaps a few who cannot resist temptation when it is placed before them, are better off for the taking down of the signs; but there is certainly a large class who would take a drink only once ina while if it were open to them, but when they enter a place now re drunk before leaving that the police have carry them home.

Duriog Erom, the New York Times) a url e past ar, a little about five years vld entered the Photps Indietcial School at No. 235 east 56th street. He wasa beautiful child, with large gray eyes, brown hair. rosy cheeks and very full regular featares. He attracted unusual attention. Visitors, as well as | the teachers, admired him, and even the very Toughest of his playmates were kind to him. The teacher taught him a piece to recite, which caused great laughter on account of the bright, active and prompt manner he had in deliver- ing it. A gentleman visited the school, when the lad was called upon to recite his’ piece. After he had finished, the gentleman placed his hand upon his shoulder, and said, “ Well cone my boy; here is five cents for you.” The teacher noticed an unusual expression of Joy in the child's face, but duty calling her at- tention in various directions it soon passed from | her mind for a while. The boy was regular in his attendance at school, but soon cam? a change in the child; day by day he grew paler and paler, and his step less élastic and buoyant. When he was asked if he was sick, his answer was always the same: “No, not sick, but tired.” He was noticed daily to take his bread home; dhe lived with his ndmother;) no questions were asked why he did so. Many very pale and sickly children are in those schools. “Thus day atter day and week after week passed, until one day he came in looking so thin and paie that the teacher asked him to go home and rest, that he might feel better to-morrow. Tears cam? to his eves, and he said: “I want to stay in school.” ‘The teacher, not knowing then that he wasstary- ng for his bread, allowed him to remain. At noon his grandmother came to him, saying that he had not eaten a morsel of food that day, (not Stating that he had none in the house.) He took his bread and left. He was soon attacked with hemmorrhage of the Inngs, and in his weakened state could not throw it of. He grew worse that night ina half dreaming state would call out, ‘Grandma! oh, | cee what will you do for bread when I die?” During his illness the teachers called, and learned from his grand- mother that daily had the child divided his bread with her, and many a day this was all they had to eat. ile the tears wore flowing profusely, she said: -‘I shall never for- t the day ‘that the gentleman gave him five cents for reciti: his ece.

The despair was therefore, when, on re- turning one even! ne from a jovial party in the Noods of Fontainebleau, the ring was missing. The most minute search was made over every ground trodden by the Empress on that day, and although the search was without hope, it was conscientiously made. The most generous rewards were offered, placards were Stuck up all over the town, and the drammer was sent round to the remotest suburb. All without avail—the ring was lost, there could be no doubtof that, and many and many a time has the Empress reverted to the loss since her mis- fortunes began. Curiously enough, at the sale which took place recently, the’ lady srtist patronized by the Empress had attended in order to procure one of the morning costumes worn by Her ae. so that a certain portrait, begun in happier days, and hidden away daring the commane, might be finished and sent to Madame Montijo, by whom it had been ordered. The Fontainebieau uniform—a sort of amazone of buff colored silk, trimmed with green, which had been adopted by the Empress and the ladies of her suite—was chosen by the artist, just for the sake of the pleasant memories it conjured up. And lo! in one of the pockets of the mous- quetaire jacket lay the weird woman's ring! The thin gold wire had broken, and the ring had evidently slipped from the finger when the Empress had drawn forth her handkerchief. The kind little artist was overjoyed. She in- stantly telegraphed to the Emperor, and a tele- ‘am was dispatched to Her Majesty, now at er byey? & ateau in Estramadura, and no doubt b; time the conviction of a restora- tion to the Tuileries restored has once more re- turned to the imperial mind. A veuss Somnambulist Enters ow entleman’s Reom and is His Clothing.

On the evening men- tioned the fair sleep-walker arose about mid- night, and, with lighted lamp, commenced to explore the house. In one room was a young man, a friend of her father’s, who had arriv. that evening, and among the chambers visited was his apartment. The door leading into the room being unlocked, the unconscious yonng lady, witha lamp in her hand, entered the room, and while the visiter was in the arms of Morpheus, gathered his clothes, coat, pants, yest, and boots, even to his hat, not leay- ing a garment to clothe his frame, and de- posited them all in the kitchen, turning the dish-pan over the duds. Her father, hearing the noise made by handling the pan, discovered the somnambulist and wit- neased the singular proceeding, and, without being detected, followed the sleeping girl back to her room, saw her put ont the light, lock the door and retire. Comprehending the situation at once, he, without notifying his wite, went to bed. The young man was called to breakfast next morniig. He answered the summons from the closed door, but the family waited until the breakfast got cold, impatient at the length of time it took the young man to make his toilet. Mr. —,, enjoying the joke, and seeing the un- conscious cause quietly seated in the dining- room, could keep in no longer. Going to the kitchen he lifted up the dish-pan and exhibited the wardrobe of the tardy guest. It is unneces- sary to add that an explanation had to be made to the clotheless young man up stairs, who had been searching in vain for the missing garments. ‘There was very little breakfast eaten Friday morning in that house, and of those about the table the somnambulist’ was not counted in. joensen Sui darehoidbtnar Career of a Rogue. The Troy Times gives the fullowing: In the year 1866 James W. Cusick, jeweler, of this city, employed a man named Wm. C. Algeo as a watch repairer, who robbed him of a consider- able amount of jewelry, several watches belongs ing to customers, and two government bonds , and then decamped for parts unknown. Algeo came to this city after waving the employ of Mr. Wise, a Brooklyn Jeweler of established reputation, ‘whom he had also robbed. Upon the discovery of the robbery Mr. C. and Detective Hurlbut traced the thiet to Syracuse, but lost all trace of him at that point. They then went to Canada West, and visited the birthplace of Algeo, where they learned that he Was a thief by nature, and had escaped from jailin that section, where was confined for rob- bery. Mr. Cusick abandoned all hope of ever hearing of the rascal being in the West, heard of Algeo in the Michi- gan State Prison, and subsequent correspon- dence with various persons in other States has developed further villain. After leaving here he worked in various laces, ending up his career in each by robbing is employer. He carried with him a fine set of dental instruments, and pretended to be a den- tist, but said he followed the business of a jew- ellér because he liked it best. He had several aliases—Craig, Algeo, Clark, &c. At one time he preached tur a short period in the West, going by the name of Rev. Wm. ©. Algeo, and’ if he Was as successful as a preacher as he was as a thief, he must have made converts by the score. It seems he was at work at his trade ina country town in Michigan, and while there could not re- press his inclination to rob his employer. He soon ascertained, however, that he was sus- pected, if not completely detected, and, stealing a horse at night, he made off with it in the hope of escaping justice. But he was pursued, cap- tured, tried and convicted. He has now ‘about two years more of imprisonment to serve, at the expiration of which time Mr. Cusick proposes to have him brought here and tried upon the in- dictment which he caused to be found against him for grand larceny. Raising Chickens Artificially. The inexperienced undoubtedly would say, “give me the old hen;” but my experience this season leads me to believe that chickens can be raised more successfally, and with less trouble, ed excusing the hen, atter she has hatched the chickens, and placing them in an Artificial Mother, which any one possessed of a moderate degree of mechanical skill can arrange. made a light box, two feet wide by three feet long; covered the bottom with dry sand; m: & mat twelve inches by fifteen, by stitching tutts of candlewick to a piece of canvas, then fastened it in one corner of the box, three inches from the bottom in front, and one and one half inches at the back end, making several gimlet holes at the sides and end for ventilation. Over the mat is a tight cover. The other end of the box is covered with glass. Inside this box the chickens are safe from rats, cats and the weather, con- venient to feed as often as necessary; and ‘there are no hens to trample on and pick each other's chickens. When the first brood is hatched, give the hen another sitting of eggs; my hens do quite as well the second time as the first. During the early art of the season, say before the middle ot April or first of May, some extra eat is nes Which is easily obtained by facts in the history of the means of mall kerosene lamp, under a quart filled with water, from w! @ coil orhalfineh copper pipe, one end entering the side of the can near the ym, and the other end three inches above, was ied through the “ mother,” thus securing a constant circulation of hot r. directly over the chicks between the mat and the cover, and a warm snug bed. ith this ‘‘ mother” I raised of May.

The question whether women can make good lectarers, doctors, pro- | tessors or store-keepers, is now, by many, con- | ceded on the score of practical demonstation; and | cited in behalf of the fitness of women to suc- ceed, unaided, in agriculture. Sloping down in | emerald turf to the lake there lie, rms our | authority, two beantiful farms which lave been | cutirely’ worked out of primitive wildness by women. The owners are two sisters, daughters | | ofa pioneer named Fuller, who, more than a halt a century ago, made his way into the | forest regions surrounding the romantic lakes | | of interior of New York. At his death he | girls, Laura and Electa, resolved to become farmers Both are now past 60, and, since early womanhood, they have cultivated their grounds with their own hands. Each has a | smiling farm and a snug cottage, the latter | nestling among sha‘te trees, close to the edge | of the lake. The lands, bearing ‘fruit, grass and other crops,” stretch far away up the rolling | Lill. The editor of the journal named has | “interviewed” the , and thas became aware of the facts he has made public. about,” he says, ‘looks thrifty,” and the farm- | work appears to be thoroughly and judiciously done. Miss Laura Fuller was first called upon. ‘This Jady wears ‘‘a short and rather laosely-fit~ | ting dress, a hood anda pairof men’s boots.” | She has ‘a beard as heavy as is often seen upon a man, and a voice that would not be mistaken for that of awoman.” She is “‘tolerably well ,” and showed that her heart was in her vocation. That she plies it without masculine help and with decided prosperity is unquestion- able. Her sister Electa is, however, regarded as the best manager and ‘‘most business- like person of two.” Her visitor found this lady to have much the appearance of her sister, but she is “more dignified and pa- triarghial, with a head considerably bald, locks whitened by the frosts of many winte Miss Fuller, we are cut away the vir- gin forest that once coyored her farm with her own hands. All the toil that was needed to bring the land into condition, she pertor med, solitary and alone. She has reared stock of all kinds, ‘including tine horses, and colts,tor which a great fancy has been taken.” The wild beasts that formerly infested her neighborhood, this Diana of the wilderness herself slew; and rumor has it “that men who had presumed to trifle with Electa, had fallen as did the beasts and trees.” We take it tor granted, however, that this is one of those delicate exaggerations which the world 18 80 prone to invent for persons at all eccentric, and that wood and fur have been the only victims to Miss !lecta’s bow and spear. @ut Door Cellars Having built two out door cellars and used them tor upwards of twelve , I shall ven- ture an apswer to the inquiry of S.C.
