A writer in the Prairie Farmer says he accidentally rid himself of the cabbage worm last year. lie tells his story as follows: "Like many others, we were afflicted with the cabbage pest or pests, there being two distinct varieties of the worm, agreeing in one respect their fondness for cabbage. We had the usual number of plants set in our gar den. We had also a large bed of car rots, in which the failure of seed left occasional vacancies. These were filled up with cabbage plants. In the garden the worms were picked several times, besides treating them to salt and pep per and such condiments, but to no avail. The worms took the cabbage. In the carrot bed the worms were picked from the cabbage once while the carrots were small ; after that the cabbage grew without molestation and ripened with out a sign of a worm upon them. Just outside the carrots were a few cabbages, which were entirely destroyed by worms, while among the carrots not a leaf was punctured. These are the facts, and we have no carrot seed to sell. We raised a fine crop of carrots, which are appreciated for spring feeding, and saved our cabbage. We shall try it again this year as an experiment last year it was an accident, which gave such good results that we have confidence in it. Our theory is that the strong odor of the carrot is offensive to tho insect that makes the mischief." Wrnniiie Lnmb. It is safest to wean lambs gradually. Some fine ewes are lost or injured by taking off the lambs suddenly, and then neglecting to draw the milk. When lambs are marketed the ewes should be watched carefully and every night when brought in examined to see if they re quire milking. If so, the milk should be drawn with the linger and thumb and the udder drained nearly dry. If this is not done the milk retained in tin udder will cause garget, and the udder will almost surely tumefy and break and discharge, when it will become flyblown. This is a serious matter if neglected. Lambs that are retained should be put in a distant field by themselves, where they cannot hear the sheep bleat dur ing the day time. At night they may be turned in with the ewes. After a week they maybe left with the ewes for an hour only in the evening for another week, when the ewes will be nearly dry, and after this the lambs maybe kept en tirely separate for a week longer. They Bhould be kept in a good pasture after weaning. During this time the ewes should be examined carefully night and morning. If there is no reason to the contrary, the lambs may bo kept with the sheep until they w'can themselves. IloiiNchold Hint. A few dried or preserved cherries, with stones out, are the very best thing possible to garnish sweet dishes. .Single cream is cream that has stood on the milk twelve hours. It is best for tea and coffee. Double cream stands on its milk twenty-four hours, and cream for butter frequently stands forty-eight hours. Cream that is to bo whipped should not be butter cream, lest in whipping it change to butter. In boiling eggs pui them in boiling water. It will prevent tho yolk from coloring black. To beat the white of eggs quickly put in a pinch of salt. The cooler the eggs the quicker they will froth. Salt cools and also freshens them. Ceilings that have been smoked by a kerosene lamp should bo washed off with soda water. Grained wood should be washed with cold tea. Salt extracts the juices of meat in cooking. Steaks ought therefore not to be salted until they have been broiled. The Parisian method of cleaning black silk is to brush and wipe it thor oughly, lay it on a flat table with the si lo up which is intended to show, and sponge with hot coffee strained through muslin. Allow it to become partially dry, then iron. J Moths will eat tho all-wool reps, but not the mixed silk aud cotton uphol stering. Furniture needs cleaning as much as other woodwork. It may be washed with warm soap suds, quickly wiped dry and then rubbed with an oily cloth. In Totosi the most violent headaches, so very common there, are cured by putting the feet in hot water. The only sure and efficient way to warm cold feet is to dip them in cold water and then rub them dry briskly with a coarse towel. A solution of common salt given im mediately is said to be a successful remedy for strychnia poisoning. Great men often possess the same peculiarities. Gen. Sherman and Dr. Mary Walker both snore and eat onions. FASHIONS. In spite of the fashion journals bring ing out most of their plates with long basques, the most fashionable women wear corsages without basques or very short basques. Immense bows of white satin ribbon frequently take tho place of corsage bouquets, being placed on the left side over the supposed region of the heart. The favorite dress of the esthetes i3 of mull, cream-white, pale rose, blue or mauve, with fichus and sashes, tied high up under the arms. Gay, striped awning cottcnades are used for the skirts of country dresses, to be worn under flannel polonaises, or jackets and orerskirts. Dotted and sprigged white and cream colored muslins, trimmed with Italian lace, make beautiful, inexpensive sum mer dresses. Parasols this season are as varied in form, material and decorations as any other part of a woman's wardrobe effects. When a summer dress does not fit well it is best to cover the corsage with a pretty fichu, crossed on the bosom. The advantages of the artistic esthetic costume is its comparative cheapness and its not going out of fashion. Shoulder capes and large mantles of net chenille are the wraps of high cere mony for summer wear. The most fashionable coiffure is broad, describing a figure 8 horizontally in the nape of the neck. Fans of bronze and maroon velvet paper covered with gilded and flowered designs are pretty novelties. The wardrobe of a woman who adopts the esthetic style is more valuable the older it grows. A novelty for bonnet strings is tubu lar ribbon, woven double without any visible seam. A comfortably fitting boot or shoe is the prime necessity of the woman who travels. Pretty breakfast caps are composed of small squares of mull edged with lace rallies. Shaded grays, browns and garnets are the colors worn by older women this season. Tfhe fashionable dust cloak takes the form of tho ulster or the Mother Ilub baid cloak. Beige, kersey, cheviot, flannels and lady cloths are all used for traveling costumes. The wide belt and suspended pocket are indispensable for a traveling out fit. Cretonno and Wattean fans take pre cedence of Japanese faus this summer. Japanese pugs are the coming nov elty in little dogs for fashionablo women. Navy blue flannel is on tho list of popular materials for traveling suits. Turquoises set in Etruscan gold are the fashionable jewelry this season. Carriage wraps and dust cloaks have increased in amplitude this year. Both high and low coiffures are worn, but low ones are preferred. White dresses of soft, crushable wool are worn more than ever. Sage green striped tweed is a novelty fabric for traveling wear. A new device for a lace pin is a cow umping over the moon. The fashionable weight for a Japanese pug is three and a-half pounds. Very little jewelry should bo worn with summer toilettes. Chudda squares are the favorite sum mer shawls. What a Returned Emigrant Says of Liberia. The Ifawkinsville (Ga.) Di.ywtcti says : On Friday last Elijah Gordon, colored, reached Hawkinsville, after an absence of about ten years in Liberia. About ten years ago a large party of colored people left Hawkinsville for Liberia, a country represented to them as the "Land of Promise," 5,000 miles across the "briny deep." In the party were C;t!sar Brown and his wife, grandfather and grandmother of Elijah Gordon, lit tle granny and two uncles and two aunts. Lige was then only about 8 or 9 years of age. He is now about 18 or 19 years of age, has some education, and can tell a great deal about his life in Liberia. Cicsir Brown and his wife are dead; little granny has also passed away, and his two uncles and two aunts have also found graves in that far-off land. Lige's father is Charles Gordon, a well-to-do colored man of this county, and last Christmas Charles sent his boy $50 to pay his passage from Liberia to New York. The vessel was forty-one days on the trip tho distance estimated at 5,500 miles. Lige says that the emi grants on reaching Liberia take the fever, and many of them die. Nearly all of them would return immediately if they had the money. He describes the climate as very warm no difference between summer and winter. Coffee and ginger are the only money crops. The people live on fruits and casavas, a kind of root something like the sweet potato. These crops are never gath ered, but taken from tho ground as they are wanted for food. Plows are not used in tho cultivation of the land. Lige says a cotton seed planted when they arrived, ten years ago, mado a large stock, which grew like a tree, and was still growing and bearing cotton when he left. Tho people have no stock. The natives subsist in a nude state living upon the natural products of the land, and are separated by tribes, which hate each other and are continually at war. He does not think the country is improving any, as the main efforts of the immigrants after they have seen the country are devoted to plans or means to obtain money to return to the United States. A SENATOR'S LOVE-MATCH. Why Mrs. Senator Spencer Wns Christened "William Loring." The Washington Capital of a recent date narrates a bit of romance in the matrimonial career of George E. Spen cer, of Alabama. Nearly four years ago the public was informed of a very quiet wedding at St. Bernard's, in New York, Mr. Spencer being the contractor on ono side and Miss Nunez on the other, and then came the sudden departure for Dead wood, the seat of Spencer's war like operations in mining stocks. His bride was a beauty of the Spanish type, very accomplished, and received some gorgeous wedding gifts. That story, howover, about her mother being a Cuban, is all wrong, as the writer hap pens to know. She came of good old North Carolina stock. Her maiden name was Loring, and we no sooner change this name to Nunez than the romance begins to gather about the lady Spencer married. The brothers of Mrs. Nunez were both celebrities of the old North State in their day. The elder, Thomas, was the founder of the Wilmington Herald sixty odd years ago, and died since the war, after a life of great activity. The younger brother, and tho particular favorite of his sister, was WTilliam, a fine old chivalrous gentleman, very fond of ladies and soldiers' epaulettes, and devoted to his sister. Mr. Nunez, a gentleman of Portuguese blood and wealth, wooed and won this sister on one of his visits to North Carolina, and carried her away to set off the beauty of his orange groves in Florida. This was about the time the Mexic an war broke out. William went into the service chiefly consoled during camp lr'fo by his sister's promise that the first child should be named for him. Much to his disappointment the child was one of the kind that "doesn't count," as Mr. Dom bey would have remarked. William fought and hoped. In due course of time there were symrrtonis that the wish of his heart would be gratified at last and under the ambition of leaving a glorious name for the little one to carry after him, he fought so bravely and furi ously at the storming of Monterey that they pinned a major's epaulettes to his shoulders. Imagine, after all this, the cold chill that ran down the major's spine when the news came that it was a girl. This was getting too monotonous for the patient warrior. He couldn't be walking into the cannon's mouth on probabilities ; so he held his sister to her promise that the next one should be named for him. And named it was. Twenty-live years later, when the minis ter called her "May" at the altar, as she held out her hand to Georgo Spencer, she corrected him with the remark that she had been christened "William Lor ing." Well, the doughty major conde scended, out of regard for the young ster's beauty, to take a great deal of in terest in his namesake, and, as she developed into a handsome and brilliant woman, he made her his special ,,. lie not only looked after her education, but took her on a long ramble through the Holy Land and his particular weak ness, the Orient. In short, he acted for all the world as if she did count, in spite of that little disappointment some years back. A gentleman named Morgan married another neice of the major's, and, with his wife's assistance (notice how delicately this is put) kept a tony boarding house in Clinton place, Now York, during the years lsr5, lhi'.i; and 18G7, and it became headquarters for the Virginia and North Carolina families who visited New York. Here the Nunez sisters, one of whom later married a Mr. Bend, and tho present Mrs. Spencer, lived and dazzled and entertained. Miss May (short for Major) was the name she always went by among her friends. Both the sisters were very accomplished, Mrs. Heed singing then o clear, power ful contralto to tho major's soprano. Miss May had various other attractions besides music, such as lovely brunette features, and a wealth of glorious black hair, not to mention an easy command of Spanish, French and Portuguese. Among her admirers at that time was Major Kelley, late mayor of Bichmond, ono of the guests of the house. History doesn't state how near ho came to spoil ing Spencer's mission, but we know that the brunetto major survived, and that Kelly soon afterward laid tho foun dation of his fortune by marrying Miss Davis, a wealthy Jewess of Petersburg. Miss May took her father's placo in the New York postofiice, which he had been compelled to accept after tho war wrecked his splendid fortune in Florida. Later she took to the stage, doing minor business with the Fifth avenue company till Spencer came along and rescued her from tho uncertainties of a footlight career. "Well, after all, he's not such a bad sort of fellow," remarked Senator Ran som one day in conversation with the writer. "He's very self-willed and ob stinate in committee over something he wants done, but on all other matters he is rather obliging. He certainly has some strong points of character, which, under better cultivation, could be made very useful." Just so. A man who can send himself twice to the United States senate, then make money in Dead wood, and finally wed a famous beauty with a $3,000 diamond ring, is "a fool of qual ity" at least. Mrs. Spencer would be a decided acquisition to Washington so cial life. An Englishman who has just pub lished his observations during a tour of this country, concludes that the most striking and thoroughly American pro ducts he came across were Bob Inger soll and Maud S. An Esthetic Hermit. The aged Herr Nalil, who died a few weeks ago, and whose valuable gallery of pictures is to bo sold by auction in Cassel, was an eccentric and esthetic hermit. For many years he inhabited two large rooms, whose walls were cov ered with the costly ancestral paintings which he had inherited from his father and grandfather. He slept on a bed in the middle of one of these rooms, and never allowed himself the luxury of a stove, even in the coldest winter. Ac cording to his own story, he was never weary of studying his genuine Raphael and his accredited Kubcns. The late king of Hanover was very anxious to obtain two or three of Nahl's famous pictures, and during a vis t to Cassel he sent his chamberlain to the hermit with u really splendid offer for them. The owner at the time was so poor and wretched that he consented, with a great wrench, to part with one of tho three, and received the money for it. He could not sleep for grief the whole of the following night, and early the next morning he appeared at the chamber lain's door and said, with tears in his eyes : "Herr Baron, I fret as if I had sold one of my children. I have had no peace since the deed was done. The king must have the money again. I could not live if I missed one of my pictures from its place on the wall. Tho king good-naturedly consented ; and anxious to relieve the old man, pro posed that he should settle in Hanover and bring his pictures with him, prom ising him a pension as custos, with the understanding that he should bequeath the collection to the kinjr, on payment of a stipulated sum. Nahl at first con sented to this arrangement, but informed the king that he must continue to sleep in the midst of his pictures as long as he lived. This was a point, however, which the king would not concede. Tho old man returned to his penury at Cassel, overjoyed at his release. He died, as ho had lived, surrounded by his beloved paintings. Tho ober-president of Hesse Cassel, Von Muller, lately vis ited him to ask if he could render him any service. "Yes," said Nahl, "cut down th . vile poplar which darkens my room and obstructs my view." Von Moller shrugged his shoulders, but the poplar was felled next morning. Lon don Globe. The White House. Its corner stone was laid on tho thir teenth of October, 1792, under the super intendence of Captain James Hobon, an Irish architect, direct from Dublin, who accepted the award of $500 (then thought to be a large amount) for the design. He is buried in the Catholic cemetery at Washington, and his descendants still live in that city. The British destroyed the building in the year 181-1, but it was rebuilt by Cap tain Hobon, aud was first opened for the reception of visitors on January 1, 1818. Tho portico of four lofty columns, on tho north side, was added in 1S29, dur ing the administration of President Jack son. It is it lofty building, two stories in height, with a frontage of one hundred and eighty feet and a depth of eighty live feet. The vestibule within the front door is fifty feet long by forty wide. The famous East room, which was fin ished fifty years ago, is eighty feet lon, forty feet wide and twenty-two feet high. Eight largo mirrors and three chan deliers, of crystal and silver, adorn the room. The walls are covered with gray paper, and the furnituro is trimmed with gray rep and maroon velvet. With the exception of our public halls, it is the largest in tho country and, for its size, is certainly the handsomest. The President's office, which is on the second story, and which is the Cabinet room also, is not very large. It is thirty live or forty feet long and thirty or thirty-five feet wide, with a ceiling about twenty feet high. In the middle of the floor is a long table, surrounded by leather-seated chairs ; long lambrequin curtains of a dark, bluish gray color adorn the windows, and the carpet is of a red tint, with large figures, and a large map of the United States is on the wall. Washington is a Government creation, and the Wliitc House is chiefly memo rable on accout of the men w?ho have lived in it. Every one of our Presidents except Washington has resided in this famous house. Tho original cost of this building in 1792 was about $335,000, and the total cost up to this time is about $1,800,000. Golden Days. Won His Hot. Yesterday Mr. Tyrrell, of Rail's hard ware store, got into an argument with Hank Monk about the size of somo agricultural machinery belonging to Rail which was lying at the depot. Hank insisted that tho machinery now adays was light and unreliable. Tyrrell offered to bet him $5 that he couldn't carry a single piece of it from the freight depot to the store. Hank deposited his coin and started. "If he gets it up here it'll make him sweat," quoth Tyrrell. "He'll earn every cent of his bet," said the hands. In about fifteen minutes Hank hove in sight, and they all saw that ho had nothing. "Concluded you'd let out the job to a dray, eh?" they all said, laughing at Hank's woeful appearance "Well, I brought up a piece," he said as he entered the store. "Where is it?" "Here," said he, with a quiet grin, "chipped it off with a hammer." He produced a corner of a casting about the size of a hazel nut. "I could have got a bigger piece, but the bet was so small it wasn't an object, ye see?" Monk went away with the money, and his face wore that self-satisfied smile all the afternoon. Carson City (Nev.) Appeal. A Profitable Purchase. Many a rare piece of bric-a-brac in the Double collection, recently sold in Paris, fetched more than it had cost ; but it is doubtful if tho disproportion was so great in any other piece as in tho salon suite that went for an even $20,000. Baron Double, many years ago, was an artillery officer, and, on a certain military jour ney, happened to stay at the ancient chateau of an old marquise, in whose drawing room was this furniture in carved wood and tapestry upholstery. M. Double saw it and urged the Mar quise to sell it to him, but this the ancient person refused to do. Before leaving the place, however, he called upon a notary and gave him a commis sion to buy the f nrnitnre if the chance ever occurred. Fifteen years afterward the marquis died, and the notary wrote to M. Double that the heirs refused to sell tho chateau furniture, except as a whole. Ho w much ?" ask ed M. Donl le by telegraph." "Three thousand dol lars," was the answer. "Buy and send eit," replied the former artillery officer, who had now become perhaps the most devoted collector that lived in France. When the furniture came he placed the salon snitc in his own house and sent the rest of it to an auction room, where it alone fetched nearly $4,000. When all his expenses had been paid, he found that the suite which has just brought him $20,000, cost him the sum of sixteen dol lars. (Chicago Western Catholie.)
