There has just died in a remote and small town iu Albania a remarkable man ; one who might have been exceedingly useful in the world had he turned his distinct talents to honest ends. M. Simomdes was a Greek; a profound scholar in Pyriac and Egyptian antiqui ties, he devoted himself to inventing and executing a number of most remarkable forgeries forgeries so clever that many of the most scholarly experts in Europe were deceived thereby. One of his most famous exploits was to present to a com. mittee of scholars at Athens a manuscript of Homer written on lotus leaves and be longing, as he asserted, to a date ante rior to the Christian era. Of this com mittee eleven exjiressed themselves as be ing convinced of the authenticity of the document. The one dissenting member of the committee detected what he sus pected was fraud, and upon examination he discovered that M. Siniomdes's work was simply a faithful copy of Homer as published by the German critic Wolff, and that the manuscript reproduced all the printer's errors. Ismail Pasha paid M. Simonides a princely sum of money for a manuscript which purported to be in Aristotle's autograph. The British Museum was wheedled into buying a false memorandum addressed by Belisarius to the Emperor Justinian, and the Duke of Sutherland paid a large price for two apochryphal letters from Alcibiades to Pericles. Simonides's ingenuityscholar ship, and nicety were such as to make him at once the most dangerous forger the world has known. He had accom plices, and his schemes were always cf magnitude and dignity. Chicago News. Profits of Slot Machines. . "now much money do you get out of these mechanical toys?" 1 asked a man who Tras emptying the ca9h receiver of the model of a steamship engine, with music box attachment," in the Hoffman House, a few days ago. "Well, it depends," was the answer, 4on the hotel in which the machine is placed. This is one of the best in tho city. The first month we placed these toys on exhibition they returned over $100 each. From that time the receipts have dwindled until each one does not earn a quarter of that amount now. Still each one of the engines, all of which have paid for themselves over and over again, yet earn a good profit. They are all owned by a company of stockholders, organized for the purpose, and they have ' all made fat dividends on their invest ment. The steamboats, fire engines and locomotives cost about $100 each all told, including the case. The grip test ers, lung testers, and weighing machines cost, at the outside, $25. We have little trouble in placing them. "They are ornamental, and few hotels object to having one. Saloon keepers often ask to have them placed in their saloons. Sometimes we are asked to pay rent for them, and if it is a very large hotel we generally do so." New Yorh Telegram. " J FEED FOR FATTENING AN OLD COW. It is not wise to keep a cow too long unless she is of extra value for milking or butter, and then consequently for her calves, when it will hardly pay to feed her for beef. When an ordinary cow is desired to be fattened this should be done at the age of eight years. The feeding for fattening should be of the best ; the best hay, with as much cornmeal as the animal will eat, given four times a day ; two or three quarts being given at each feed as it may be digested. Hay is given twice daily. A small ration of roots or cabbages or apples, or even cold boiled potatoes, will help considerably in the fattening. The feediug should not be delayed, as more flesh and fat will be made this side of the new year than after it. Neva York limes. MAKING LEAN POBK. ; ...... According to Professor O. W. Atwater there are two things for the pork maker to do first, to make leaner pork, and then to get better access to foreign mar kets. Leaner pork can be obtained, he says, by the use of nitrogenous foods, skim milk, bran, shorts, cotton seed meal if it can be advantageously utilized beans, peas, clover, alfalfa and other le guminous plants. It is, however, im practicable for many pork producers to change their system of feeding at once. The bulk of the pork in the country is, and for some time must be, manufactured from corn, but where nitrogenous foods are available they should be used, and where they are not available the attempt should be made to introduce them. Here is a strong reason for experiments with leguminous forage plants ; beside helping to make leaner pork, they have the ad vantage that with them poor hay, straw and cornstalks can be utilized, and that they make rich manure. New York Wit nw. ' GRASSES AND WEEDS FOR FOWLS. . Domestic fowls of all kinds will eat a large quantity of young grass and tender weeds if they have access to such food. But they do not like old and tough herb age any more than humans like old and tough vegetables. Whenever it is neces sary to shut any fowls in the yard, they should always be supplied with a generous amount of green and tender herbage. Sometimes pull a few suckers from the growing corn in the garden, and cut tho leaves and tender stems into small bits about one fourth of an inch long, or gather a few stems of the irrepressible garden purslane (which is very succu lent), and tender clover, or pig weeds, and cut them up fine. Fowls will devour such food ravenously when the pieces are of suitable size to be swallowed. A pair of sheep shears may be kept near the door, so that no time is lost searching for some instrument to cut up coarse food. Leaves of cabbage and other vegetables are all cut into bits not larger than kernels of Indian corn. As fowls have no teeth, they cannot bite off pieces of tough food. But if they can get hard and tough pieces into the giz zard, that miniature mill, with the gravel stones in it, will soon reduce food to a fine pulp. When crop-plant3 in the gar den have attained a size so large that fowls will not injure them by stepping on them or by nipping off the tender tops, the entire flock may bo allowed to run ad libitum in the garden, for one or two hours only, each day. They will pick up many insects, collect a new sup ply of gravel stones, and fill their crops with tender herbage. American Agriculturist. FARM ANT GARDEN NOTE3. Keep seed corn from getting damp. - Did you help make your fair a suc cess? Go slowly and feel your way in fruit planting. If you have squash they should be taken care of to help out. Ripe weeds will make better manure if burned. Do you see the point? Turner raspberry must be kept from suckering, or it i3 a total failure. It also likes cool soil. Do you keep a book in which to note the things to be done, and when to do them? It saves time. Prevention is better than cure this is especially true of tho diseases' that are liable to attack fowls. In growing strawberries, Dr. Hoskins says the hill system is best for home use, but the matted row is best for market. The cost of fences is one of the heavi est taxes on the farm. When will this relic of semi-civilization be dispensed with? Durinsr the moultinf? season, -nmiltrv 0 , j-.--.j should be warmly housed and abundantly supplied with strengthening food and urinK. It is essential that a certain amount of some kind of sharp, gritty material be ; supplied poultry in winter, as it it im-! possible for the hens to prepare their and it is equally impossible for them to procure grit in winter unaided. Raising broilers is a profitable business down in New Jersey. The chicks- are marketed when ten or twelve weeks old and weigh about one and one-half pounds. There is in the above State a man who by raising broilers clears over $1000 a year, and that too with less than an acre of land. Kaffir corn is said to be an unequaled food for poultry. It is an excellent grain for growing fowls and laying hens, Eaya the Germantown Telegraph. Ex periments have proven that it is not only egg-producing, but will put bone and muscle in the growing bird. Chickens shoot right ahead with such feed. recipes. Chicken Fried With Jelly Brown canned chicken in enough butter to pre vent it burning; add two heaping table-, spoonfuls of currant jelly for each pint; can, season with salt and cayenne, and serve at once on toast. Strawberry Blanc Mange Sweeten a pint of rich milk and add half a pint of strawberry juice or syrup (jelly may be used). Stand on ice until very cold. Dis solve half a box of gelatine, and stir in the milk, pour in a mould and set on ica until stiff enough to turn out. Serve with whipped cream. Beans Fried With Herbs For half a can of baked beans peel and chop half a cupful of onion and the same quantity of any mixed sweet herbs in season ; put the onion over tho fire in a frying pan with half a cupful of butter; when it begins to brown put in the beans and herbs and stir all together over a moderate fire until quite free from moisture and a little brown; season the dish highly with salt and cayenne and serve it hot. Chicken and Cream Put into a sauce pan one pint of milk, one tablespoouful of butter, a little salt and white pepper; when it comes to boiling, add two table spoonfuls of flour mixed smooth-in cold milk; stir constantly, so that it shall not be lumpy; remove meat from cold boiled fowl, chop it, mix with it a little sage and chopped celery ; stir it into the cream sauce; let it become thoroughly heated; add half a cupful of rich cream; serve on small pieces of toast, free from crust and with cranberry jelly. She Waited en General Washington. The oldest person in New Jersey is Mrs. Judie Cummins, of Long Branch, who is one hundred and eleven years old. Mrs. Cummins is a colored woman, and lives with her daughter Margaret. She was born on a Southern plantation in 1779, and subsequently was owned by Major William Waters, whose plantation wa3 near New Brunswick, N. J. She was then only eight years old. Mrs. Cummins was then sold to Jacob I. Ber gen, who a few years later sold her to Vauderveer Lewis. Mrs. Lewis sold her to V. L. Golden for$S00. She remained in Golden 's possession until freed. Mrs. Cummins can just remember her father, whose name was James Jefferson. Mrs. Cummins's first husband was Simon Johnson. The couple had two children. After her marriage to Charles Cummins she became the mother of ten children. The old woman remembers General Washington, whom she saw at Grind stone, near New Brunswick, when Wash ington and his wife were guests of Major Waters. She waited upon the table, and can recall exactly the manner in which the General and his wife were dressed. Mrs. Washington wore a white silk gown, a silk neckerchief and a cap with a black ribbon. Washington wore a navy blue cloth suit, with knickerbock ers buttoned at the side, and silk stock ings buckled at the knee. He wore a white shirt with frilled front, and a loose silk tie carelessly placed in the shirt opening, in much the same style as the scarfs are worn to-day. New Yvrk Tri bune. ........ . England is Like a Huge Pasture. A young woman recently home from a foreign tour says that she was struck with two things during her travels in England. She found that that fair coun try was not so much like a garden, as ihe had most frequently heard it called, s a pasture or grazing ground. The feature of almost every peaceful land icape was the stretch of grassy fields, nany of them green and beautiful enough to pose as the famous hundred -year lawns of the realm, but still grazing grounds where sheep and "herds of lowing kine" luxuriated. A second rharacteristic unlooked for in English natural scenery was the frequent preva lence of wild spots. Her idea had been that England was so limited in area and Jo populous that even its rural portions would be monotonously civilized and cultivated. On the contrary, there were frequently as wildly picturesque and desolately grand bits of country as any but really mountainous regions can show. No York Times. THE H BR SI!
