Hints For November.

The close of the year is near at hand
seed has been sown-tbe harvest gath
ered-and now comes the labor Of pre-
pairing for winters cold and frost, Ii
our last We suggested several ways in
which coarse foder could be rendered OF
more service as food; and also strong ;
urged the necessity of providing gooa
aud warm shelters for all your anlmaiS'
for warmth to certain extent is an equiv
alent for food. -
The prudent farmer will avail hlmselt
Of every fair day to provide a tountlful
sunnlv of muck, dry turf, leaves, and re-
fnSe of all descriptions, to mingle with
the droppings of his yard. He will not
suffer bis cattle or sheep to run over bis
meadows and clover lots; aud for the sake
of saving little hay, suffer ten fold dam i
age by the close grazing of young and
tender shoots. He will see that the
change from grass to hay be made a;
gradually as possible, that water in "a
bundance is accessible to all his stock,
and also salt and ashes-aud for bis fat
ting hogs charcoal; cracks and crevices
will beSstopped-good fastnings append.
ed to gates, stables and barn doors and
he will particularly guard against the
possibility of volunteer pruning of his or
cbard by hungry kline.
Young animals Of all descriptions must
be tended with extra care, and kept in a
growing! condition; for checks in early
growth are rarely rccorcrca from IN qttef
he.
Improve your time ia rainy days by
looking in occasionally at the school
house door, and don't stop tbere-see il
the room is properly warmed and venti-
lated-ascertain for yourself whether the
seats are comfortable, and duly proper
iioned to the respective sizes fthe pupils.
Grudge not the necessary books, for
money is never invested in better stock
,han when it conduces to the improve
ment of the young; and be not vexed if
your children should wear out their books
as well as shoes. A pleasant word at
night to the school boy and girl, who
have been pouring over their books during
the day at school-questions like these ::
What can you tel! ne ABOUT TO night that
YOU have learned at school to-day? what
more do you know than you did thi,
morning I'VE know from personal ex
perience powerfully contribute to interest
children in their studies, and aid teach
er in his arduous and too oft poorly re-
Quilted labor.
As the long winter evenings are COM
ing on, be sure that you make your own
freside more pleasant than elsewhere
Many-too many-bave We seen turn q
willing ear to the allurements of pleasure
and dissipation, when better judgement
condemned their folly, simply because
the buoynant and elastic spirit of their
childhood and youth were too much curb
ed and checked By the stern and thought
less parent. But our limits forbid ex-
hortatiou.- The GeneSce Farmer.

The Carnival at Rio Janiero.

Here in the capital of Brazil, the carniva!
is compressed into three days; and the anuse-
ments consist in throwing wax balls filled
with water upon every one you can. To
vary this lighter fun, buckets or tubs full OF
water are also used and many persons 60
about with large tin syringes holding half "a
gallon. The fun consists in soaking thor
oughly every one you can: and as this is
emlnently a" city of magnificent distances"
and person may be soaked with water a
mile Or two from his residence it can
scarcely be called safe amusement in citv
where the yellow fever is prevailing, and
where any such exposure is attended with
serious danger. The better classes content
themselves with wax balls, and gentlemen
from the streets and ladies from their win
dows keep up sharp contest until the ammu-
milton on either side is exhausted. The city
Is, however, given to the rule of the black
guards for three days; and respectable
person finds himself, while on his way to
business, or while paying visit, surrounded
by half dozen scoundrels, who will very
thoroughly soak him before they have done
with him. t"t
1t is W orse than useless, too, to offer resis-
tance or to show fight; for custom has az
lowed the gang in such cases to set to work
upon their victim with fists, feet, or what
ever is handiest, and he is happy if he es-
capes serious injury. This has happened,
more than oncerln the case of respectable
foreigners, who ignorant Of the savage Gus
toms OF the country, have naturally consid-
cred the assault upon them as one to be re
PEELED, and have knocked down one of their
assallants. all of whom have then, with the
courage peculiar to the Bra8ilians. boldly at
tackled the unarmed stranger. No age, no
sex, no office is sacred and the writer Of
this has even known the wax balls to be
thrown at persons in carriages ACCOMPANY
ing a funeral.

The Work of a Poor Mechanic.

In little back room in Grand street, New
York, fronted by another room about ten
feet square, sat, in the years 1912, shoe
maker at work upon his bench, making
ne added to her stock in trade few yards of
coarse shoes, which his wife in the front
shop sold to the market women. Soon
cotton cloth, prints and other domestic
goods. The labor was not congenial, for he
knew his capacity to be distinguished in a
higher sphere. Still the industrious mechan-
ic and his equally industrious wife toiled on,
business increased upon them until the
" shop" become real store of note. He
rented another store on Cedar street, then not
known as the famous dry goods street it
afterwards became-he bought goods at auc-
ton, sending such portions of them as the
business demanded, to his Grand street store.
and exposing the remainder of the packages
for sale in front of his store in Cedar street.
Many of the city iobbars made purchases
from his auction lots Of goods, and ere long
he had built up an immense business. and
in 1885, in company with brother, occu-
pied large store in Pine street, near Broad
way.
Spectators had invested largely in South
Brooklyn property and had lost immense
merchant purchased much of this property
almost for song. and soon realized from it
hundreds of thousands of dollars. During
this time great project had been seeking aid
in Wall street, and had been rejected bv
capitalists there. Itwas the New York and
Erie railroad, one of the greatest works of
this or any other age. The man Of whom
we speak saw the importance of the road
and determined it should be built. He was
its President and began his work.
Hehad'been a Successful man, and the pres
tige af success is all-powerful In answer
to his personal solicitations, the merchant,
the mechanic, the milliner, men of wealth
and the laboring men Of New York sub
scribed to the stock of the road and it was
built. The energy and determination of one
man had accomplished what Wall street
had shrunk from undertaking. and that man.
a few years before the poor shoemaker of
Grand street, then the rich merchant, was
Benjamin F. Loder. President and builder of
the New York and Erie railroad
