THE NATION'S -PAGES. The Boys Who Wait on Sena¬ tors and Congressmen. Peculiarities of the Little Chaps, Theit Mode of Life and Dissipations. An Indianapolis correspondent nt Washington writes: Some Interesting character and peculiar bits of life are found in the pages of the 6enate and House of Representatives. In the upper branch of congress there arc about fifteen and in the lower branch ubout thirty-five pages. Their duties are well-known to the average reader. Their fields of labor are the floors of the two branches of con- gross. A jiage for the senate, however, never does anything for a member of the house, and vice versa. Sometimes a page is found who is almost of ago and nearly full-grown; hut they average from 9 to 14 years, and most of them arc very small in stature, and upon first appear- anee boyish in character. As years go on, if they are retained, the little fello ws become sagacious, often proud, and not infrequently imitate the statesmen in bearing and conversation, There is no better school for a boy in which to be¬ come an actor. He has the best of oppor¬ tunity to study every idia.se of character. Speaking of the pages sometimes imitat¬ ing the acts of their superiors, reminds me of an incident that occurred a few days ago. A very diminutive page who was borne upon the rolls of the last cou- gress was superceded. When he learned that his place hail been given to another he became considerably dejected, for this little fellow had dissipated in a mild way and had been profligate, so that he was found almost without funds, and was as far away from home as the state of Missouri is from Washington. But the boy had been an observer and knew a trick or two. He studied the situation. He solved it. Going to his boarding¬ house he hastily picked up his effects without attracting the attention of any¬ one. With great caution he removed them to another quarter of the city. Then he went out to bid his old confreres adieu. Meeting one of them, who was about ten years old, and as tall as a man’s arm is long, he said : “Well, good-bye, old fellow; I’m off. My constituents have given me the shake I was defeated in caucus and beaten in convention. The situation, however, leaves me a little flat. I am nearly broke; but I have found a way out. I will jump my board bill. They all do it.” Sometimes the pages run in whools, like fish, and become clannish. Not in frequently one meets a crowd of them, all under three feet in height, at the mid night hour, making the town howl. Many of them smoke cigarettes and plaj billiards. Frequently the little fellow* drink beer, for they can buy it any¬ where at the counters. There is not a very great proportion of them, however, who fall into these channels of dissipa¬ tion. Those who do generally come from the larger cities. Then the pages have a way of “hazing,” and some of the capers they play upon plebeians or inex- pericnced boys are wonderfully severe and terribly embarrassing. One of the favorite tricks in the line of hazing is tc take a new boy down into the basement under the hall of the house and show him thc “rubber man.” This basement is very dark and very broad and cavern- ous. Portions of it are unlighted, and the unsophisticated youth soon finds him- self lost. Thc surroundings are weird and frightful, and it sometimes takes at hour to get out. Pages receive #75 pel month during the session. Those in the house are generally changed every twe years, but the boys in the senate are re¬ tained, and some, of them grow up tc manhood from childhood at their posts ol duty, as did Senator Gorman, of Mary land. It is said that a considerable nmn her of pages in the house are blood rela¬ tives to members, and sometimes the members have their sons appointed. Tho Chinese Minister. A Washington Letter to the Springfield Republican saysj The Chinese Minister is a man of 00, who was a Governor ol one of thc Provinces in China. After lit had made his fortune the Emperor saw that he was getting rich too fast, and, much to his disgust, exiled him here on a salary of #25,000 a year and all expenses paid. For the Chinese Government is liberal. If a dinner is given at the lega¬ tion the Government pays for it, and thc same if he travels or keeps a carriage, while all the expenses of the legation are defrayed from home. When he came the Minister left his wives s.t home, hut after a while he had sent ov»r from Chins a little thing, not more than 18 years old, and she is thc only woman at thc lega¬ tion. She is kept very. secluded, and only allowed to visit the house of Mr. Bartlett, formerly correspondent of the Republican jind now Secretary to the legation. About once a week she is driven over and spends the afternoon with the ladies of his family, but they are not allowed to admit others to set her. Then she trips back to her carriage, if a woman on such little feet could be said to trip, and is not seen out again for another week. I have known ladies whe had an idea of the day she would visit Mrs. Bartlett, to spend the whole after¬ noon in a neighboring window to get a glimpse of her. When the Chinese want to please people they send them some ot the finest tea, which comes direct tn them, not iu the great boxes which you see, but in small cases holding a few pounds. This is the finest tea that CVP1 conies to this country, and those who arc lucky enough to receive n package prize it very highly. It is a little stronger than the tea you buy at the stores, and so much more fragrant and pleasant to the taste that it hardly seems like the same plant. And J tjoul't very rageb rhethet it u.

Wet the harness over night, cover it with a blanket, and in the morning it will be damp and supple; then apply neat-foot oil in Mn»H quantities, and with as much elbow-grease aa will ensure its dkserni- n *t''ig itself through the leather.

An excessive amount of grain is the worst treatment of an animal put up to fatten, and particularly if it is thin iu flesh. Poorly kept stock have presum- ably weak digestive organs, and these must be strengthened by careful exer- eise. Giving a little grain at first, and rather less than the animal will cat with good appetite, is the way to begin. The amount may be gradually increased ns more flesh is put on, but care must be taken not to cloy the appetite. Poor sheep are the most delicate of all feeders, and so few farmers will feed carefully. That old sheep going into winter in thin flesh had generally better be killed it once, to save further expense and rouble.— Cultivator. How fo Tell fl»e A/ft nt .Sheep* Almost every stockman knows how to e age of a horse by its teeth; but many of my renders may be, as I was un¬ til a short time ago, ignorant of the fact that the age of a sheep may be deter- mined in the same way. A sheep has eight front teeth which make their ap¬ pearance during the first year, when they are all of small size. The following year the two middle teeth are superseded by others of larger size. During the third year two other small teeth, one on either side, are shed and their places are filled by larger ones. This makes four large teeth in front, flanked by two pointed ones. The fourth year the large teeth 8rf ' six in number; and only two small teeth remain, one at each side. These disappear during the sixth year, when all '.he teeth an' large. After this time the age cannot be definitely determined, but tlio condition of the teeth enables an ex¬ perienced person to make a close guess. Signs of wear are generally visible dur¬ ing the sixth year, and during the seventh year, sometimes earlier, the teeth begin to fall out, or are broken off entirely. lYhrti anil Hoiv tn Fretl Ilono*. A horse ought to be fed when he is hungry, ant he ought to be hungry every day. What makes him hungry? The constant waste of the system. The mus¬ cles, when brought into use, waste some¬ what; especially exercise or labor is a draft upon the muscular system—in fact upon the whole system. After the sys- tern has been taxed, and if the tax is sufficient to partially exhaust or fatigue the animal, rest is more important than feed; hence the horse should stand and ?‘ st ,,while » >cfore hc is Digestion d, ‘ mands a fl,,w of 1>lood *> the organs then at work, and as the blood has been drawn awa >' frora them to * u * tilin thc rau8Cular cxcrt,on durin « thc lllb ” r - i( should not be suddenly withdrawn and turned in upon the organs of digestion. lienee let him rest, and after an hour or S0 1 kecn !,nd “ shar l> SCt '” There ,s P^bab'y no better food ,or recuperating Aliauated muscle than « 00t1 ’ soun<1 ’ lu ' av >' oats ' Th 'T ar « easily ,li S e8ted ’ nutritl0u8 , nmscle-l.inding and bb '°rLnmking in a high degree. They are b,t lf beating, do not tend to make horses sweat, and on the whole are the best food a horse can have. Barley is very good, but not equal to oats. Indian "orn is a poor substitute, not so easily digested, heating and causing the animal to sweat. As to system, a horse should have hay first, then grain, and water when these are digested; or water should be given half an hour at least before feed¬ ing. Horses often have dyspepsia, in¬ duced by being fed when warm, or being worked after a full meal. Thc practice of feeding hard-worked horses at noon, and working them immediately after, is of doubtful utility. Horses will go eight, and probably ten, hours without food, if properly fed at evening and morning. They should have water more frequently, but never when hot .—American Agricul¬ turist. Fnrni and garden Note*. Dig horseradish and preserve in sand in the cellar; save the small roots for planting next spring. Glue is rendered waterproof hy first soaking it in water until it becomes soft, and then melting it with gentle heat in linseed oil. Has your grindstone become hollowed from the grinding of small tools? Grind up thc spades and shovels by holding them square across the stone at a proper level. Spades, like hoes, should be ground all on one side. In most eases where a cow loses one or more teats she should after a year or two hr turned over to the butcher. She will not give as much from two teats as she did from four, as a part of the udder which should secrete the milk will be un- 'lsed. There is one advantage in keeping guinea fowls with other poultry, as their loud noise frightens away hawks and other enemies. Guinea-fowl meat is dark, but has a gamey flavor liked by those who have a fancy for game, As egg- producers guinea fowls are excellent, though their habit of roaming causes many of the eggs to be lost. A farmer recommends from experience diluted carbolic acid as a remedy for chicken cholera, for bog cholera, and for pinkeye ic horses Joiff drop* for each o Q e <Jl hrs hogs, and tr*n drops diluted wlflLwoter m a doge (or a horse. In this.ainall quantity ear- bolic acid will do no'harm, and the rcrn* edyi* worth remembering. Every farmer before killing hogs or other *1111111 nnimals should have them weighed, so that it may >*• known how great is the loss in killing ami dressing. In selling hy live weight buyers require fanners to t lisiuc t a larger jiercentage for-wastage than is generally experienced. In well- fattened, compactly * built porkers ' the waste is often not more than W ‘ tier cent. of wKoio n i am sometimes . even i less , ,han ,hi *' * All f'T'7,r d ,m ;\ ■’T'r, ,. the kitchen k should d bo , fed out, if for nothing else, to destroy the insect life they may contain. Almost any cow will cat five or six quarts of good apples a day, if she can get them, ’ and ifstore meal , day . place of pigs arc given one a in gram, they will do all the better for the exchange, F ruit is good for human f«x>d, and it is equally valuable as food for most domestic animals. One reason why hogs arc more liable to disease is because usually no pains are taken to provide them with plenty of clean water. The swill tul) with its dishwater and other slop is no substitute for pure water so *' ir as health is concerned. In winter, especially, there is little advantage in giving sloppy food. The hog will thrive better if given his meal only slightly moistened and left to drink what clean water it chooses from another dish. The farmer’s work is necessarily ex- perimental. While some general prin¬ ciples are always applicable it is impos¬ sible to provide for details without knowledge of attending circumstances. No positive rules can be made to fit all eases, anil therefore each must be decided on its merits as it arises. To this re¬ quires excellent judgment, and it is not unnatural that an old and successful farmer should regard with some distrust the knowledge which has been derived only from books. A compost heap should be a permanent feature in connection with every well- managed garden. Swamp muck is the best material for the basis of a compost heap, but sods or rich soil from a road¬ side or pasture may be made to serve the purpose admirably, Ail refuse or offal from the house and garden that will ile- cay and readily decompose should find its way at once on the compost heap, to¬ gether with all the stable manure, and be nicely mixed with the absorbing mate- rial. This in the spring will be found to be one of the best investments to draw from for daily use. Household Hints. Tough meat is made tender by lying a few minutes in vinegar water. Boxes for holding slippers or odds and ends may be ornamented with thin cheese doth, covered with woolen lace the shade of the boudoir curtains. Colored cheese cloths produce charm¬ ing draperies at very small cost. When the edges of curtains are finished with fluffy tassels a pretty effect is produced, A room crowded to discomfort with furniture and ornaments, no matter how costly, is never restful and homelike, and always suggests the museum or the shop. To remove the stains of French shoe polish, either from woolen or cotton goods, wash the spot with tallow soap and let it stand for an hour or so, then wash in clean water, and afterwards pro* ceed as with any soiled article. Ifeclpes* Plum Pudding .—One pound of raisins chopped fine, one pound of currants, one pound of minced suet freed from skin, one pound of sugar, half a pound of bread crumbs,* a scant half-pound of flour, two ounces candied peel and half a nutmeg grated. Mix well together with seven well-beaten eggs and boil for eight hours. Pish Cakes. — Take one pound of canned salmon and turn it out of the can on a colander to drain, this done take two forks and shred thc fish very fine, remuv- ing the skin and the bones, then add to this the same proportion of mashed po¬ tatoes, and a little pepper and salt, beat up one egg and add this to the mixture make this into flat cakes and fry; send these to the table quite hot, suitable for eight persons. Mce Griddle Cakes .-Two cupfuls cold K-i boiled * rice, • one pmt • . hour, ,* one teaspoon ful sugar, one-half teaspoonful salt one and one-half teaspoonfuls baking powder one egg, little more than one-half pint milk. Sift together flour, sugar, salt and powder; add rice free from lumps, diluted with beaten egg and milk; mix into smooth batter. Ha ve griddle well heated, make cakes large, bake nicely brown, serve with maple sugar. Potato Soup .—Cook a slice of salt pork in three pints of water, nnd boil till all possibility of fat is cooked out. Th. water should he reduced to a quarter; then add an onion chopped fine and eight lavgc potatoes, first boiled and mashed, Cook slowly for half an hour, then add enough scalding milk to thin it to the consistency . of / pea . soup. Add * salt . and . white pepper for flavoring; strain through a coarse sieve or colander and pour into a , not tureen, . which should in first be put a tablespoonful of melted butter. A Judge’s Charge. Tennessee’s distinguished historian Judge Haywood, was once presiding in a ease where a woman was being tried for some offense in which thc evidence has clearly agairif.t her. At the close of th# trial the Jiirlge, in giving tin case to the jury said : “Gentlemen, you have heard the evidence and you know the law.” by the jury without leaving the tog, CL1PPISOS FOR THE CURIOl’S.

The food of Burmese peasants includes almost all kinds of reptiles, the grub of a ball-rolling beetle, a kinds of ant which constructs nests of leaves in treetops (eaten in curries), and hill rats. The lust named exist in such hordes that their consumption is almost a necessity to pre- vent the rats from eating the Burmese. A wonderful and little known flower has been on exhibition at the Philadel¬ phia Horticultural Society's rooms. It is called the moonflower, and blooms in the evening. From a small bud one inch ami a quarter in diameter, comes a beau¬ tiful flower four inches in diameter. The development requires less than an hour, and the buds ran be seen opening. At Pau, where many men and women with light hearts and heavy purses go in winter, it is not unusual to see a person with a pair of skates in one hand and a sun-umbrella in the other. The ice is found on a small lake that lies deep in a hollow, and there is good skating on the lake, while round about Pau people are promenading in sunshine as warm as that of October. A French writer has described a enri- Jus phenomenon observed in a very in¬ telligent parrot, the bird’s eyes invariably becoming red by the contraction of the iris on the appearance of a little boy for whom an extraordinary affection has been acquired. Flashes of red appear in moments of anger, but the noticeably lasting effect is only produced by the joy of this particular child's presence. For Ihe Orphans. A Detroit poultry buyer was in Macomb County a few days ago on business, when, just about dark, his horse became fright¬ ened at some object along the road and ran away. T ic man was thrown out of his vehicle, but not. badly hurt, and after he had pulled himself together he started on after the horse. Pretty soon he rn- countered three stalwart tramps, each of whom had a club. As they ob- "strutted thc road he was forced to halt, when one of them said: “Being as you are a well-known phil- anthropist, mchbc you’d like to donate a couple of dollars toward an orphan asy¬ lum.” “Where is it?” “Out near Chicago. I don’t just re¬ member the exact dimensions of the building, nor the number of little kids as is eryin’ their blessed eyes out fur their dead pnrients, but 1 know they is sadly in need of money. Ain’t it so, boys?” “You bet!” replied his two compan- ions. % “If I give yi u #2 will the orphans ever see it?” asked the Detroiter. “Will they!

One beautiful sunny day in the early spring of lust year Mrs. Robertson, of 852 West street, was surprised to find at the j gate opening from her yard in the alley two turtles, one a hard turtle and the i other . a ground turtle. She took them both in, and they have since become regu- larhousehold following her ' pets, around the house like dogs, allowing her to pet them and handle them with impunity. J ’ rr, They have , made . friends . . with . , thc three | household cats although which different Mrs. Robertson j keeps, and, of snecies ‘ , they ... frol\c together in a dignified . manner all day, except at meal times. When their meal, consisting of bits of meat and sometimes a couple of bones, which they are expected to polish, is given them, it is amusing to see their race for the dish in which it is set out, nnd the one reach- ing the dish first is sure to be attacked by J thc Slow one. bince the advent of cold weather the turtles have buried them- selves in the ground under the cellar floor and will remain there until the warm I weather comes again.

It is noteworthy that most of the Presidents of the United States were reared on farmB or retired from active life to spend (he evening of their days amid the quiet and retirement of rural scenes. Wa-himrton, Adams, Jefferson JacksoD, and so down through the ti list, Grant and Garfield, were all at one ne or another cultivators of the sdl, and fond of fairn life or blooded stoek. Daniel Webster was Marshfield, never so liappy as when on bis farm at and his line oxen were the delight of his leisure hours. Vineyard Hints.
