Teach Boys to Sew, and Girls to Hoe.

"Jennie T. Hazen" says, in Western
Rural:
II is really a good plan to teach boys to
sew, for they often wander far from their
boyhood homes-their mothers and sisters,
weary miles away, where they find no deft
and nimble fingers to stitch up rent, or
sew on a button. Those boys who went
into the army, who were familiar with the
needle and thimble, Jared much better
than did those who could not take stitch
to save themselves from utter nakedness
| know young man, who, while in the
army, was the favorite of officers and the
net and good-fellow of the regiment, sim
ply because of his skill in the use of the
needle and for his good dnatured willing
ness to help every ragged wretca who
came to him with hideous, gaping wounds
in trousers, blouse, or blanket.
Most men are ridiculously awkward
with a needle and thimble. They call
threading needle, "stringing" it, and
say" Tie knot in the end of my string,
will you'" When they sew on button,
they invariably jab the needle against the
button and break the point off If their
suspenders give out, when all the women
folks are gone for week, they will tie,
pin, or hitch it up in some shape, "till
wife comes home," just because they were
not taught to use the needle when they
were small boys, and are now too stupid
to learn.
Yes, l would teach boys to sew,-and
girls to hoe There is TO reason why our
little girls may not be as strong and
healthy as our boys, If we will give them
the same chance and to give the same
chance, let them have plat ofground to
cultivate, and give them hoes, rakes and
spades, adopted to their small hands and
feeble strength. Little girls take as nat
urally to flowers as ducks to water, and
will want some ground for "posy bed. "
Encourage them in this; but, at the same
time, advise them to cultivate bed OF
onions beets, carrots, or some other vege'
tables, and assure them that whatever
they raise shall be their own, to dispose
of as they please, and that whatever they
get for them shall be theirs exclusively
subject only to the parents advice. AL
low them to pick strawberries, currant
and cherries upon shares, to sell them, anC
have the proceeds. In this way you no
only give them great physical develop
ment, hut you give them self-respect aIC
selfreliance, and teach them way of get
| ting living far better than the drudger,
of the needle.
Little girls, let me advise you to ash
your papas to give you little garden O
your own next year; and, when you ge
it, don't work in it for morning or TIVE
and then forget it, and let it go to weeds
but work one hour in the morning befor
school, and one at night, and you vii
keep your garden nice, and have plenty @
time left for play. Keep an old dress o.
purpose to work in, so not to soil you
school dress.
Only think how nice it will be to hav
money to buy a Christmas present 70

sure to look closely after your garden

Farm Implements.

Every farmer should have a good, dry
houee, in which to store farm implements,
which are Vat cf place in the barn or
woodhouse. We have seen many very con-
venient wagon and implementrooms under
the same roof At any rate every farmer
should have room for implements some
where, and now that harvest and corn
tending are over, all reapers, cradles,
scythes, sickles, plows, harrows, rollers,
hoes, shovels, forks, etc, should be put
away in good order. Take off all dirt and
scour away all rust. Then grease liberal
ly. Much will also be gained by painting
the wood work of farm Implements. This
can be done at small cost, and by the
farmer himself Every farmer should
learn how to paint his own tools and inn
plements. He should take day in Sep.
tember and do his own painting. lie can
do it. There is no danger of failure%- He
can at least put on the paint so it will pre-
Serue the wood, and this should be the chiei
object in view. But if the farmer should
neglect to paint his farm implements, he
must not, at least, neglect to place them
all in a dry room, as we have recommend
ed. Leaving plows, harrows, rollers, hoes
etc, in fence corners and scattered around
loose in the yard, exposed to the weather
through the winter, Is alike improbable
and disgraceful. ul.-Americdn Farmers Mag

An African RainStOrm.

THE following extract from the travels
of the celebrated African hunter and eX-
plorer, Mr. Baker, recently published, will
give a good idea of the great rapidity with
which transforms gather in tropical re
gions, and the enormous volumes of water
which often fall in few hours, filling the
previously dry and arid beds of rivers,
and causing foundations of proportions
entirely unknown in more temperate
climes
"The cool night arrived, and 1 was ly-
ing half asleep upon my bed by the margin
of the river, when l fancied l heard a
rumbling like distant thunder; had not
heard such a sound for months, but low,
uninterrupted roll appeared to increase in
volume, although far distant. Hardly had
raised my head to listen more attentively,
when a confusion of voices arose from the
Arabs camp, with q sound of many feet,
and in few minutes they rushed into my
camp shouting to my men in the darkness,
| The river The riverp
ave were up in an instant, and my in
| terpreteT, Mahomet in a state of intense
confusion, explained that the river was
coming down, and that the supposed dis
tant thunder was the roar of approaching
water.
MANY of the people were asleep upon
the clean sand of the rivers bed these
were quickly awakened by the Arabs who
rushed down the steep bank to save the
skulls of my two hippopotami, that were
exposed to dry. Hardly had they de-
scended, when the sound of the river in
the darkness beneath, told US that the
water had arrived, and the men, dripping
with wet, had just sufficient time to drag
their heavy burdens up the bank. On the
morning of the Gath of June, ! stood on
the banks of the noble Atbara river at the
break of day. The wonder of the desert |!
yesterday there was a barren sheet of
glariDg sand, with fringe of withered
bush and trees upon its borders that cut
the yellow expanse o'the desert. For
days we had journeyed along the exhaust
ed bed of the river; all nature, even in
natures poverty, was most poor; no bush
could burst leaf; no tree could throw a
shade; crisp gums cracked upon the
stems Of the mimoSas, the sap dried upon
the burst bark, sprung with the whitening
heat of the simoom. In one night there

drop of rain, no thunder cloud on the

Great Democratic Gains I'm Maine-HOW

"Bur the gain is the thing, you know.
The gain shows the drift of popular senti-
ment The gain was what the Democracy
wanted, Now, in 1857, the Republicans
had a maiority of 1900; this year il Is
only 1900. That proves nothing. To get
at the gain you must take the Standard
Democratic Arithmetic, published at the
World office, and for sale at the office of
the Age This classic volume should be in
the hands of every Democratic voter. II
Is what is called a pade meoum. You will
see by this invaluable work that you must
always subtract the larger number from
the lesser, and then average the remainder
by a strict comparison with the election

Il Is the better Now, If you will please
recollect that four times five Is fifty, and
that twice two makes ten, and then that
ninety-four into seventeen goes six times,
and that thirty.four from twenty.fi five
leaves eleven, you will easily comprehend
that the Democrats made great gains In
Maine. You have first got TO deduct from
the s0-called Republican majority of 90.
900 about $4,000 illegal votes, and to add 10
the Democratic vote about the same mum.
Der to cover the tare and tret Then you
must take the percentage of the gain OF
the majority of the vote Of the Democracy
in 1905, just sixty years ago, and see now
the square root can be extracted frOm the
difference II you do this you will under
stand what the World means when IL says
The result Of the election In Maine is In
every way gratifying TO the Democracy,

Cast iron undergoes marked changes under the
alternate action of heat and cold, and the. human
body is not cast iron. On the contrary, 1t is a
combination of delicate tissues and ibres, which
are exquisitely sensitive TO atmospheric changes,
and, unless protected against sudden and violent
variations of temperature by wise precautions,
are sure to be disastrously affected by them.
At this season the difference between the tenn
perature OF night and day is greater than at any
other period of the year, and the stomach, the
liver, the bowels and the nervous system are apt
to receive violent shocks from these changes, re-
