IN THE GREENROOM
a.i.aAj - - - . . .
One evening at the Odeon, when
they were playing the "Depit
Amoureux" as a curtain raiser and
the beautiful Sophie Cherubin, who
personated Marinette, was still on
the stage, Fabrec you know per
fectly well Fabrec, the deputy with
the golden beard who has so young
an air despjte his forty years half
opened the door of the dressing
room without knocking and called '
out, "Cuckoo!"
He was not a little disappointed
to find the dressing room empty.
Then Constance, the old dresserj 1
came out from behind the screen: j
"If monsieur will have the good- '
ness to be seated madame will re
turn in five minutes."
' Fabrec let himself drop into a
tapestried armchair, crossed his
legs, tapped his patent leather
boots with the tip of his cane and
old -woman arranged the little
things on the dressing table.
After all, for what had he come
here? Not from love, hardly
from desire. One day when he had
urged his claims she had said to
him, with a show of reason:
listen, Fabrec. You are very
nice, but 1 have 40,000 francs of
debts, and for you the beautiful
days of Panama are finished. Come
here to gossip when you will, but
wa will never be other than good
comrades."
Frankly she was right. Neverthe
less an attraction drew him always
in that direction, content to obtain
here and there little privileges. He
amused himself near this woman of
profession so beautiful and gay
and laughed heartily at her sallies
of wit and cynicism, and then a.
it was necessary to kill time. While
meditating Fabrec regarded me
chanically the dresser and was
brusquely dragged from his reverie
by the face of the little old woman
that he saw reflected in the glass.
What a ruin ! What heartbreaking
ugliness ! Dry as a stick, wrinkled
as a winter apple, scanty nair tne
color of ashes and eyes like the
dead to think she had been a wo
man, perhaps pretty, doubtless
loved!
She ought to be sixty-five years
old, and Fabrec, who was kind
hearted, pitied this lamentable old
woman working until the end. He
felt also a disgust to see this sor
ceress in her shabby black touching
the laces, the silver brushes, the
blond tortoise shell combs and all
the delicate and perfumed objets
de luxe which shone on the dressing
table of the actress. Suddenly the
door opened, and Sophie Cherubin
appeared with a rose in ner mm.
The beautiful brunette was as fresh
a bouauet and sparkling with
youth, beauty and the pretense of
effrontery.
"Ah, Fabrec! cnea sne joyous

time we will talk while Constance
prepares my things. Sit down ana
be good.
Tha AnvuuKr had already passed
behind the screen. They joked, and,
according to her wont, Sophie be
gan to tease the handsome beauty
about the number of his successes
in the theatrical world. Was it still
true, his devotion to the singer at
the Nouveaute? But Fabrec was
discreet The veritable Jaay bm
is always so, because he loves wo
men for themselves and not from
aiUT vanity. To Sophie's questions
he responded only by pleasantries,
admitting nothing.
She became a mue

that Mile. Blanche Lilas had not
been re-engaged and that they did
not know what had become of her.
Eh lien, ma chere amie, believe me,
if you will, that that day I felt the
most miserable, the most bitter
grief of love, and for long months
I was not consoled."
"And is that all?" asked the
comedienne.
"Without doubt"
"Fabrec, you are a hoaxer, and
you mock me with your souvenirs
of your student days"
Suddenly the comedienne's maid
interrupted them, 6aying:
"Madame, madame, the mon-
sieurB and the ladies are getting
into the carriages. They are wait
ing only for you." And the voice
of the manager was heard up the
stairway :
"Mile. Cherubin ! Quick ! We are
late!"
In a moment the waiting woman
had enveloped Sophie in her furv
j thTlS
of the dresser, and the two women
had flown away with an "Au revoir,
Fabrec!" from the actress.
The deputy was about to start in
his turn when old Constance ap
proached him and, lifting her face,
full of misery, murmured timidly:
"Monsieur!"
"Hein? What, my good wo-
t j. '
1 have a request to make of !
you. Yoila, I am ill. I no longer
have my health, and it is with diffi
culty I do my work. I would like to
be admitted into a hospital for in
curables." "Very well. The next time I
come you can give me a note," re
sponded Fub.-ec iibsently.
But the dresser hi;.: not hnished.
"And then, monsieur, there is a
thing which will perhaps interest
you further. 1 hnve hoinl every
thing when you :vv talking with
madame. 1 am Blanche Lilas."
Fabrec made un involuntary ex
clamation and recoiled a step.
Blanche Lihis! Lwsnelie Lilas so
horrible an old beggar, with the face
of a' death mask! iie cried nervous
ly, almost fearfully :
"How old are you, then ?"
The old woman smiled pitifully.
"Not so old as I appear, it is true.
I have had so much misfortune,"
she groaned. "I am now sixty-two,
and I was already forty-one years
old when you first saw me. One
cannot judge of the age of an ac
tress from the stalls, as you said a
moment ago, but that did not pre
vent my receiving my dismissal that
very year, because they found me
too old. Misery followed immedi
ately. Three months after leaving
the theater I was working in a
kitchen. Not very long after that
an old friend who plays the dolard
here rot me this place of dresser.
But I am at the end of my strength.
There is nothing but a hospital that
will please me now. My request is
to the public assistance. You can
ask in my real name, Constance
Poireau. And since in the days,
monsieur, you have paid me atten
tion" She stopped as though ashamed,
as though fearing to displease in
insisting upon this souvenir to the
man whose aid she solicited. Hap
pily for her, he was kind hearted.
"I will go. I will go tomorrow,"
said he in a voice that trembled a
little. "Rest assured I will strute
the officers of the hospital and put
fire under their stomachs. Ana if
for the moment" his fingers were
at his pocket hole "I can be use

WHEN CURTIS SPOKE.
Itirring Event In ths Convention That
First Nominated Llnooin.
Among the most inspiring rec
ollections of my life is a scene I
witnessed in the Bepublican nation
al convention of 18G0 which nomi
nated Abraham Lincoln as its candi
date for the presidency of the Unit
ed States. '
The convention was about to vote
upon the Bepublican platform re
ported by the committee on resolu
tions. Then arose the venerable
form of Joshua B. Giddings of
Ohio, one of the veteran champions
of the antislavery cause. He con
fessed himself painfully surprised
that the Declaration of Independ
ence had not found a word of recog
nition in that solemn announcement
of the Bepublican creed, and he
moved to amend the platform by in
serting in a certain place the words:
"That the maintenance of the
principles promulgated in the Dec
laration of Independence and em
bodied in the federal constitution,
that all men are created equal; that
they are endowed by their Creator
with certain inalienable rights;
that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness essen
tial to the preservation of our re
pubican institutions."
The convention, impatient as
such assemblages are apt to be at
any proposition threatening to de-

lessly rejected the amendment. Air.
Giddings, a look of distress upon his
face, his white head towering above
the crowd, slowly and sadly walked
toward the door of the halL
Suddenly from among the New
York delegation a young, man -of
strikingly beautiful features leaped
upon a chair and. demanded to be
heard. The same noisy demonstra
tion of impatience greeted him. But
he would not yield. "Gentlemen,"
he said in calm tones, "this is a
convention of free speech, and I
have been given the floor. I have
but a few words to say to yon, but I
shall say them if I stand here until
tomorrow morning." '' ?
Another tumultuous explosion of
impatience, but he did not falter.
At last his courage won, and silence
fell upon the assembly. Was this,
he said, the party of freedom met
on the borders of the free prairies
to advance the cause of liberty and
human rights? After a few such
sentences of almost defiant appeal
he renewed the amendment to the
platform moved by Mr. Giddings,
and, with an overwhelming shout of
enthusiasm, the convention adopted
it Carl Schurz on George William
Curtis in McClure's. '

It is interesting to learn from an
old tract that John Wesley found
time to dabble in medicine and that
he mentions a cure for old age.' It
dates back to 1747 and is as fol
lows:" ' . T ' -'!
"Take tar water morning and
evening or a decoction of nettles.
Either of these will probably renew
strength for many years." 7
Then, as an afterthought, in case
the above failed, we read, "or chew
cinnamon daily." ' ,
John Wesley published these rec
ipes in a book called "Primitive
Physic." It contained 824 cures.
among which are the iouowmg:
"Baging madness: Set the patient
under a great waterfall as long as
his strength will hear, or pour water
on his head out of a teakettle."
And "lunacy gives way to rubbing
the head several times a day with
vinegar in which ground ivy leaves
have been infused.

"John Smith, oar popular trackman,
has abandoned hie tracking business
for the summer and taken his horses
to ths Hodson road. John says there
to twice the money to be made hauling
farmers' wagons up the hill or over the
awsmps." The facts are that hundreds
at farm wagons travel every night on
the road te Mew Torn. They are load
ed down with sweet corn, tomatoes,
lima beans and similar perishable
goods. Parts of the road are smooth
and hard. Other portions are soft or
atony sad steep. The suse of tne load

road, not by the' ftnn, level tracks.
Two horses may be able to heal a load

might not make so much difference

Washington, 1). C The main point
Of the cultural method of controlling
the boll weevil is made prominent by
Mr. W. D. Uuuter, who to In charge of
some of the cotton boll weevil investi
gations of the government He re
marks that there is s tendency on the
part of many planters to lose sight of
the fact thnt procuring sn early crop
is but one step and la strictly second
ary to tbe great essential step name
ly, the destruction in the fall of tbe
cotton plants in the field. As s mstter
of fact early planting, the use of early
varieties aud the use of fertilizers are
simply to further tbe advantage gained
by the process of fall destruction.
War to Praettee rail laeetraetle.
In his report ou cultural methods
four principal reasons for the Impor
tance of fall destruction are advanced
by Ur. Hunter:
First Full destruction prevents ab
solutely the development of a multi
tude of weevils which would otherwise
become sdult within a few weeks of
the time of hibernation. Tbe destruc
tion of the Immature stages of weevils
in infested squares and bolls to accom
plished, while the further growth of
squares which may become Infested
later la aluo prevented. This stops ma
terially'' the development of weevils
which would normally hibernate suc
cessfully, and by decreasing the num
ber of weevils which' will emerge In
the spring the cbaucea for a success
ful crop the following season are very
greatly increased.
Second. A proper manipulation will
bring about tbe destruction of a great
majority of the weevils which are al
ready adult
Third. It has been shown conclu
sively that tbe only weevils which sur
vive tbe winter are those which reach
maturity late in the season. Those ma
turing earlier are unable to survive the
long period of hibernation. In one in
stance out of 240 weevils taken from
tbe fleid at the middle of December and
placed in hibernation thirty-eight or
iS.8 per cent passed the winter soccees
fully, while out of 116 which became
adult about Nov. 13 only one, or less
than 1 per cent survived. It to evident
that the weevils that pass the winter
and attack the crop tbe following sea
son are among those developed latest
In the fall and which In consequence
of that fact have not exhausted their
vitality by depositing eggs for sny
considerable length of tune. Fall de
struction of tbe plants, thereby la-
creasing the leugth of the hibernating
period, will undoubtedly cause the re
duction by many fold of tbe number
of weevils In the fields that would
otherwise emerge In the spring to dam
age the cotton.
rourth.-Clcarlng of tbe field In the
fall niakes It possible to practice fall
plowing, which Is not only tbe proper
procedure In sny system of cotton
raising, but also greatly facilitates ths
early planting of tbe crop the follow
ing spring. Tbe ground becomes clean
by this practice, so tbst but few plsces
for shelter are toft for the weevils, snd
vsriuus climatic conditions still further
reduce the numbers of the survivors.
Wits I. Da It.
It Is naturally Impossible to Ox sny
date for tbe destruction of tbe stalks
which would spply to sll localities and
under all conditions. The role should
be that the plants should be destroyed
in tbe fell wherever aU or practically
all of the fruit is being damaged,
whether this to In September or No
vember. By all means If possible de
strscrJoa of plants should take place
before frost, but destruction after
froat, though not nearly as efficacious,
should be practiced when It has not
been possible te remove the plants
previously, says Air. Hunter. Tbe gen

method of removing the stalks to to

1. B. Dsnko in so address delivered
before the Wisconsin dairymen's con
tention said: -
As to tbe care of tbe dairy cow, one
ef the best general rules to observe to
to keep tbe cow as comfortable and
coo ten ted as possible. If the cew Is
not comfortable snd contented the
owner will always be the loser. If the
cows are allowed to stand ont ta the
cold during severe weather a certain
amount of food will be required to
keep tbe body warm, which bad she
been In s warm stable would have
been transformed into milk snd batter.
In order to succeed ss a dairyman a
person must be In sympathy with his
cattle. He must be a keen observer
and thorough with his work even to
the smallest detail and have a love for
his stock that will cause him to work
from early In the morning unto late at

During tbe winter they should be
kept in comfortable stalls In a warm,
well ventilated stable snd let oat for a
short time on pleasant days for exer
cise. If It Is necessary to tarn them
out for water a tank beater should be
used to keep tbe ice from gathering ea
the trough, and the cows should be
pat' back Into tbe stable aa soon as
possible when the weather to severe or

A good cow to a good cow, so mat
ter what ber breed may be. Therefore
let tbe fsrmer choose the dairy breed
thst he considers best suited te bis
conditions and stick to it This to the
opinion expressed by W. A. Clsmoas
ta Farmers' Advocate. Let htm breed
bis selected cows to ths beet svalla
bls ball of that breed and eontlnse to
grade, up his herd to a higher degree ef
excellence year by year. ,
Tbe practice followed by some farm
ers of nsing bolls, first ef one breed
snd then of another, to fatal to all
plans for building up a uniform, hand
some and profitable herd of grade cows,
and that to Just what most farmsrs re
quire. It wss breeding with a par
pose in view tbst enabled the late K.
D. Tilison of Ontario to build ap a
working herd of dairy cows that was
probably uneqoaled ta Canada. One
of bis grade cows produced 90,113
pounds of milk ta a year, five ethers
gavs from 18,000 to 1&M3 pounds, and
the whole herd of sixty-five cows made
a yearly average of nearly -10,000
pounds. - :

say that If a cow we wen eared for
aad well fed she could be milked elev
en months as well as sine or tea. I
wish to say right here I don't believe
tt. I bad two cows that would give
10,000 pounds ef milk fas nine and a
half months. I gave one rw sad a
half SMnths rest Th ether I gave
bat ens month. The nest year ths sew
that got two aad a half months' rest
gave SjOOO pounds more tbaa the eth

ord of afty-ov poond f mUk per

and th next rear the highest record I
eeoid get from her wss thirty-five
