it is all important that until that time
they should be secured against moths
their mortal enemy. Furs are costly,
and beautiful rs we'll rs useful, hut
nothing looks worse than shabby furs,
made SO from the destructive inroads of
the moth. The worst thing to be done
with furs is to shut them out of sight,
from the air and forget them. The
next worst thing is to put them away
damp. Should they become damp by
exposure to the rain they should lie
placed no nearer to the fire than where
they dry slowly. When the season for
their usc is over they should not be shut
up in tight chest, box or drawer, for
more than few days or a week with
out being taken out and well shaken. -

attending to them. 70 preserve furs

supply Of camphor, is the grand speci-

The ever-present Chinese will pique
our curiosity. We must look into their
homes-compact, simple, yet not over
clean or sweetsmelling quarters-into
their restaurants and their theatre, if it
10 an operation, and into their Josh
Houses Their stores invite us with
open doors, and tempt our pockets with
all the various specialties of Chinese
manufacture, at reasonable prices. A
few are men of stature and presence,
with faces of refinement and gentle
strength; the many who so sneaking
about their work--a low type of man
kind physically and mentally, import
ed here like merchandise, and let out to
labor under system only half removed
from slavery itself. Yet they are an inn
portant element in the industry and pro-
gress of all this side of the continent -
| But for their labor, the Pacific Railroad
would have been at least two years lon
ger in building. Twelve thousand Of
them have done nearly all the picking
! and drilling and shovelingand wheeling
OF the road, from Sacramento To Salt
! Lake. They furnish the principal labor
| in the factories ; they make cigars they
! dig and work over neglected gold gulch
es; they are cooks they almost monop-
oliae the clothes washing aud ironing ;
| in all the lighter and simplcl depart
ments of Labor, where fidelity to n pat -
| tern. and not tieXihlity and originality
! of action are required, they make the
| best and most reliable of workers. At
J least sevcnty-tiVe thousand of them are
scattered over these Pacific States, west
of Utah; and though our American
| and European laborers quarrel with and
! abuse them though the law gives them
no rights, but that of suffering punish
ment; though they bring no families,
and seek no citizenship; though all
their women here are not only CONNER
cial, but expressly imported rs such !;
though they are despised and kicked
about on every hand; still they come
and thrive, slowly better their physical,
moral and mental conditions, and sup

needs for its growth and prosperity

them is not quite clear yet; how they
are to rank, socially and politically
among us, is one of the nuts for our
social Science students to crack, if they
can; but now that we have depopuIated
Ireland, ana Germany Is holding on tu
its own, ana the old sources of our labor
supply are driving up, all America need,
them; and obeying the great natural
law Of demand and supply, Asia seems
almost certain to- pour upon and over Us
countless thousands of her superfluous
cheap-living, slow changing, unassim-

we shall welcome, and then quarrel oven

How to Make an Usage Orange
Hedge.

will give you my views (as reduced
to the cheapest and quickest mole after
many experlmeuts) briefly, to fence an
eighty: Buy, in lump, at any mill,
the refuse thrown out in selecting for
pi.ing, which, by making juiicious
bargain, will cost seventy-five cents per
hundred. Take round poies-none less
than three inches in diametcr-six feet
long; drive in the ground eighteen
inches; nail your boards on full length,
alternating, first one side, then the 9TH
er, without joints or ends sawed Oft.
This balances the fence. Never mind
beauty, for field fence, unless you have
plenty of stamps. Cost of the whole,
including labor aud hauling, $500.
Throw up ridges on the inside Of your
plants; piow twice if possible; trim
your plants down to three inches of
root; make an incision with a long
shovel; put your roots in ten inches
apart; press with the foot. DO this
from April to June; keep weeds out,
aud plow as often as you though
not less than three times. The third
spring. cut half in and press down, lap.
| ping horizontally. Ii no accidents
from drouth or vermin, you have 9
fence forever, in five years: Your 9th
er fence viii last tha. lnng or longer

THE NEGLECTED GRAVE.
BY LUCY II, HOOPER.

BY LUCY II. HOOPER
The storm of grief has long since died away, 3
Hearts cease to ache and fruitless tears to
Behold the grave, unvisited and undeeked.
Forgotten! Twas so many years ago.
The rank grass waves in unmolested pride,
Untrodden now by loving pilgrim feet;
The vagrant. .rosebush only on the mound :
Lays funeral tribute of its blossoms sweet.
over the headstone creeps the hiding moss.
Blotting the craven words with fingers slow;
The wand ring vine there hangs unchecked its
veil
None seek to read the mourn full record now.
Who slumbers there? No answer from the
stone;
No mourners near give tender, sad reply;
Tha cchoes knew the name one"' but she
Bears no response upon its passing sigh.
This grave once darkened earth for many
hearts;
life lost its luster and the sun its gold;
And woeful weepers walled, Console us.
Earth holds no consolation Now, behold!
Forgotten! BY the death bed stands Despair;
Then comes space Of agony and weeping;
And then the world goes on, the mourners
smile,
And Joy awakes, although the ioved lie
sleeping. r.A =
All, loving God! that bring'st Times healing
balm
To bruised hearts that else would break with
l. sorrpw- Lu 81
That grants soft slumbe to the night Of Grief,
And sends the splender of n new tomorrow
Thou didst not will it SO. that we should weep
Over dear graves forever and forever
IT'S Thou that whisperest tenderly, "Some
day
When we in anguish cry, "Ah, never! new
er!'
Nor do We all forget, when kindly Time =
Has hidden us to cease cispair and weeping;
Sorrow may perish but within our hearts
Love dwells forevcr-Love, not dead but
sleeping.
! And the dear dead! they blame US not to-day
! For eyes that weep not lips that learn new
l. : smiling;
! Yet they forget us not--thc perfect love
| Ofheaven knows no changing or begulling.
Beyond the'd dread gate dwell tho loved and
lost.
| Waiting till we, the living, pass tho portal,
| Leaving behind the worlds bewildermcnts,
! And bearing with us only love immortal.
Fair forms may greet us then whose eyes VIII
lend
New light to quicken mem'ry's smolderin:
ember,
And voices long unheard shall cry aloud,
'Rememb Der u.s." and we shall straight re
member.
! SO better thus: the lonely mound, where conn
The vngrant vines to deck the fading sod,
The tear drops of the rain, tho winds, sOf
sigh,
And over all the unforgctting God!

HORSES, AS Il general thing they
get too much licking and too little food.
II - man loses his hat while driving his
horse he licks the horse to pay for 1t.
II he runs into another wagon through
his own carclessness, he licks his horse
to make it all right. II his horse slips
or stumbles, he gets licked for tiff hs
does anything he gets licked, and II he
don't do anything he gets the same.
\ great many horses know "a sight
more than their drivers, and If they
could change places with them, society
at large would be the gamers, and SO
would horses.
Henry Ward Beecher says on the
hair dying questions:
"Ifa "A man will be happier for 1t, let
him do it.. If his wife will love him
better, or if she will be made any hap
Family happines is a great blessing to
purchase ut so small cost as u bottle of

A'horse that is in the harness every
day needs an abundance of food and the
right kind. Oats make more muscle
than corn, and should always form part
of the food of Il hard working horse.
Corn gives piumpness and imparts
warmth. The colder the weather, the
more corn; the harder the work, the
more oats,
A WISE HoRsE.--An exchange tells
this horse story: An old family horse
that has been running at will through
the streets and commons, lost one of his
shoes: and with the intelligence Of \
human being, the old horse walked ur
to tn. blacksmith where he had been
shod for the last twenty years, and to
the best of his ability asked the smith
to shoe him, by raising his foot and
stamping the ground.
QUEER HOG FATTEEEE.-A singular
discovery has just been made at Cincin-
natti. 1t seems that a man upset his
kerosene lantern into his meal bin, and
he noticed afterwards that his hogs ate

! gave him an idea. and by experiment he
! found that five weeks feeding with
| kerosene mixture made one OF his hoSc
so fat that it could scarcely stand. The
animal was'then tried into lasd vita the
following result: When cool tho lard

There Is n pecularity in the Amcri-

Farmer is no exception to this rule viz:
he, like the merchant or mechanic, il

the point, namely: Fit was good thing

Why abandon thing as good and prof.

No. sorghum syrup sells. at present,
in 81. Louis, at from - to 50 cents per
gallon, retail. Sugar--light brown
sells about six pounds for the dollar.
Now, when sweets sell at these figures.
1t Is obvious that, pecuniarily, Il IL
profitable to raise sorghum. We very
we'll know that there is n prejudice tfOr
it amounts to that against the syrup
for table use; but, there are certain
processes of deiaction which are not

one to manufacture palatable article
of table syrup.
We suppose no one will argue, at the
present time, that sugar can be made to-
advantage or at pdRing rates from
sorghum or inphce, nor do we advise
the attempt; but, we do most emphat-
| icaliy advise our readers to cultivate

supply for themselves and for each and

or another, do not raise any. They
will want it. and if they cannot pay

that it is fine thing to have n barrel OF
