A Few Maxims for Young Girls.

Never make your appearance in the
morning without having first brushed and
arranged your hair, and dressed yourself
neatly and completely. e
Keep your clothing in perfect order.-
Never let pins do duty as buttons, OF
strings take the place of proper bands.
Examine every garment when it comes
from the wash, and, if necessary, mend it
with neatness and precision. Do not sew
up the holes in your stockings, as we have
seen some careless, untidy girls do, but
take in q broad margin around the hole, be
it small or large, with fine darning needle
and daTning cotton, and cover the fracture
with an interlaced switch, SO close as TO be
as strong as the body of the stocking, and
fine enough to be ornamental.
Train yourself TO useful occupation. Re
member it is wicked to waste time, and
nothing gives such an impression Of vani-
ty and absolute Stiffness as habit Of idle
ness and never having anything to do. ''
II you are in your fathers house, take
some department of household labor upon
yourself and part of the sewing, and
make it your business to attend TO it. Do
not let call from this idle girl, or visit
from that, oran invitation from the other,
interfere with the performance of your
duty.
II you can cultivate to perfection some
art by which you could gain an independ-
ent livelihood, do it whether there is a
necessity for 1t or not. Do it quietly, il
you will, but do it There is no telling
when or under what circumstances you
may need it.

y SHOOTING AFFRAY.
A Man Shot In Thirty-twO Placess-L
Woman In the Case.
From tho Peoria Transcript, Sept. al

OMoAA IA tAAO OWhCs
From the Peoria Transcript, Sept. 22.l
A desperate shooting affray took place
on Sunday morning last, in Havana Mason
county, by which John Bennett was des-
perately wounded. 1t appears that there is
widow woman named Steen living in Ha-
vana. This woman has daughter Mary
Jane Steen, and, man named James
Young, it is said, has been keeping her for
the last six months. For several evenings
during the last week, boys and young men
have been in the habit of stoning Mrs.
Stems house. She finally went to a con-
stable and made complaint; and the con-
stable gave her revolver and told her to
shoot the first man who disturbed the
house.
On the morning in question, at about
three o'clock, two young men named
George Harrison and John Bennett went to
the house and asked to see Mary Jane
Steen. The old lady asked them if they
could speak to her from where they stood.
Bennett said mo" and raped hard on the
door. The door was opened from the in
side. Bennett declares he did not break it
open, and he stepped inside and received q
VI AAO buOO IlBub
der, thirty-two of the shot piercing his
breast. When the shot was fred Mrs.
Steen screamed, "My God, you have killed
him." Bennett replied, "No you haven't.
It was that Jim Young who shot me, and I
can whip him the best day he ever saw"
Harrison ran for assistance, and while he
was gone Bennett called to others for as
sistance.
A crowd gathered, and the wounded
man was taken to John Millers livery sta
BILE, and was attended by Drs Martin and
Dotfenburger. On the way down he
claimed that Young was the man who shot
him, but the Steen family say that it was
done by son of Mrs. Steen's--a lad about
10 years of age-and of an unsound mind.
They say that Young was not in the house
that night, and that Steen fired the shot.
Bennett was taken 10 his brothers house
the next day, where he now lies. The doc
tors say that he cannot possibly recover,
and it is thought that he will die before
morning. When asked how he is getting
along he answers, "Oh I'm gone up"
Young was arrested and placed under
81, 600 bail, awaiting his preliminary ex-
animation, which comes off today. Steen
was lodged in Jail. Sunday afternoon
Young requested to see Bennett, in order
to ask him if he thought he (Young) was
the man who shot him, but the doctor re-
fused to allow him to do so Young has q
brother in Havana who is q respectable
carpenter. Young himself has
been engaged driving team for Low & Fos-
ter, lumber dealers. Bennett has broth
er, a timer, also arespectable man. Ben
nett is also timer, and has been working
for his brother for the last two years, and
was well thought Of. The Steens were bad
characters Young's family deny that he
was at the house that day

How JAPANESE TRkN OyoUMBEns The
manner Of cultivating tho cucumber was to
me somewhat novel, and it appeared to
me IN some respects superior TO our mode.
Instead Of sowing the seed In hills, II is
aown in double rows, as peas are Frequently
done, only at greater Sdiatance apart,
both between the rows and the plants, say
three feet between the first The vines
are supported by placing rushwood along
each row, forming an arch over which they
may grow. The advantages this method
presents are, that the fruit is always clean
and straight of uniform color ON all
sides, and can be gathered without incur
ring danger of injury to the'vines by tramp
ing on them. --Hogg's Gardening IN Japan.
PIcKLED TOMATOES. Always use those
which are thoroughly ripe. The small
round ones are decidedly the best. Do
not prick them as most receipt books d.
rect Letthem be in strong brine three or
four days, then put them down in layers
in your jars, mixing them with small on
ions and pieces of horse radish; then pour
on the vinegar cold, which should be first
spiced; as for peppers let there be spice
bag to throw into every pot Cover them
carefully, and set them in the cellar for
full month before using. Green tomatoes
can be picked in many of the ways that
are used for green cucumbers, but it is
usually best to add large amount of
pepper and spices to give them favor
PoTATo SPRouTs. "A writer in the Coun-
try Gentleman states as the result of his
experie nee, that superior potatoes, free
from rot or curl on the leaf, may be grown
by sprouting the potatoes in heap, and
then removing and planting the sprouts
and the ibrous roots adhering to them.
He thinks the potato stalk is too succulent
when 1t is fed from tina whole tuber.
FLAX SEED occasionally given to animals
will make them shed their old hair, pro-
mote the acquisition of flesh, and give a
sleek glossy appearance. A much cheaper
article, and nearly as efficient for the pur-
pose, is oil cake from which the greater
part of the oil has been expressed. 1t is
also drug in the market, and it is well
worth the attention Of farmers.

you can cut it>with knife. 1t is eaten
with horn or wooden spoons, all the family
sitting round the tub. II is undoubtedly
an acquired taste, but the commodity is
much sought for The froth is of beauti-
full pink color. Green berries will make
nearly the same amount Of froth, but it is
Of white color, and is not so highly fla
vored. Foreigners stir it withport or sher-
ry wines, and add sugar, in which case it is
delicious luxury, Large quantities ore
