HARMONY OF CoLoRs.-Many ladies
with a small fortune lavished on their
dress, look dowdy and gawky while 9TH
ers, with only scanty purse to fall back
upon, outshine them in every particular,
because the harmony of colors was stud
led in the latter case, and disregarded in
the former. Women should study, indi-
vidually, the colors that are most becom-
ing to them. The real secret of success
in dress is to wear only those colors which
harmonic with the hair, eyes, complex
ion, and general appearance. 1t is not
so much the style or texture of garment
as the colors. If only our American la
dies would be more independent and Sc
lect for themselves whatever is most be-
coming, without regard for what is worn
abroad, they would soon establish for
themselves reputation for taste iu dress,
which can never be attained by blindly
following the fashion set for them by the
danes of the Continent.

FEEDING HORSES. -Of all our domes-
tic animals there are none that require
more systematic care in feeding than the
horse. A horse should be fed regularly
and in moderate amount, and when
worked he should be worked judiciously.
A horse fed in this way may be kept at a
moderate cost, and will be more healthy
and perform more labor than if fed high
ly, or as high as many are in the habit
of feeding their horses. Horses will GER
tainly eat hay enough to injure them if
they can get it. When hay is kept con-
stantly before them, horses are apt, to
spend their time in throwing it around
topsy-turvy in their rack they soon be-
come dissatisfied with their food, and
lose their usual relish for it. The gener-
al practice should be to feed regularly
three times day.

agricultural.
A Short Crop of Hay--Green Crops
as Substitute,

In many sections another dry May
seems likely to result in light crop of
hay, and very short crop of oats, and
many farmers will need some other crops
to take their place. There are several
which there is still time to put in, that
will answer very good purpose. The
one most generally adopted is.
SowN Corn.
There is still time to put in a good
supply of this crop. The land can be
we'll prepared, as for good crop of
planted corn and laid off in shallow fur
rows with a shovel pillow, and the corn
strewn in the furrowsat the rate af about
forty grains to the foot. If the shovel
pillow has a rather wide blade, and lit
tie more pains can be taken with the
crop, fifty or sixty grains may be sown
to foot, making the row Of plants some
what wider; but this should only be
done on clean land where there are a
good many weeds it is more trouble to
clean out these wide rows. The burrows
may be three feet apart from the center
to center, leaving space of over two
feet to be worked with one.horse cult
vator, which should be all the working
that clean land will need.
There is still plenty of time to SOW
swede turnips, and most farmers that
have a suitable soil, to the best varieties
they are acquainted with.

Slowly and sadly they filed out Of

Nor TO BE BEAToN-A New Hamp-
shire man and man from Ohio CHANGED
to meet at a public dinner in New York.
The man from Ohio suggested to him of
the Granite State that it might be advan-
tageous to him to remove to the West,
especially if he proposed TO follow the
pursuit of farmer. The Yankee could
not see it; there was no State in the I'm
ion equal to New Hampshire. He of the
Buckeye State could not agree to this.
Ohio was inferior to New Hampshire in
no respect, while in many respects she
was superior. The Yankee demanded to
know a superior feature. The Buckeye
commenced to enumerate; but as fast as
he presented his claims of superiority
his antagonist unhesitatingly swept them
away by bold and vigorous declarations
to the contrary. AT length, when all
other sources of argument had been ex-
hausted, the Buckeye confidently CO.
served:
"1ou will at least allow that Ohio
justly claims superiority over New
Hampshire in point of the extent of her
territory ?"
mo. sirl promptly and emphaticly
responded the Yankee. Your State
spreads out because it is fiat. Look at
the mountains of New Hampshire !!
Goodness mercy Just roll 'em out fiat
and they'd make territory enough to COW
the whole Of Ohio and fill up big slice
of Lake Erie -

Another Hero Found and Lost

Last week, thousands of our country
men were engaged in decorating the
graves of those who fell fighting for then
couutry's flag, and even while this floral
tribute was being prepared to deck the
sod which covers our departed heroes
another selfsacrifcing noble spirit flash
ed forth in bold relief, but sank back and
persisted in the very flames which reveal
ed the purity of its metal. And thus it
was that the revelation was made. When
the fatal flames were found to have bro
ken out about the mouth of the shaft at
the Pittston coal mine, two boys stood at
the bottom, on car which was about to
be drawn up. Both saw the glazing
light of the fire above them, and knew
that it meant danger and death to their
companions in the mine. One of the
pair, like any ordinary mortal, thought
only of self-preservation and was men
tally calculating his chances of escaping
the destruction which seemed to await
him. The other, Martin Cooney by
name, concealing beneath rough exte-
rior knightly disregard of self, paused
even while one foot rested on the car,
which already was trembling as it began
to rise, and thought of those who might
possibly be saved He proposed to his
companion that they should run back to
the workpen and give the alarm; but
no, the other thought only Of his own
danger, and would run no additional
risk to save score Of lives. Cooney's |
resolve, however, was soon taken-the
car arose without him, and hesped away
to announce the impending destruction.
But alas, it was too latel Ere gro
ping through the darkness, he could
reach the place where the miners were
working, the sitting, heated vapor had
told the story, and the ventilating door
was closed, leaving the boy Cooney to
fall prey to those dangers from which
he soughtto rescue his comrades. In front
of this door he fell down, and there, a
martyr of selfsaerifce, he expired, hum
BILE follower in the footsteps of those who,
in all ages, have died for their fellow
men. A mere youth in age, poor, ignor-
ant and uncultivated, his deeds entitle
him to rank with those whom all the
world is proud to own as its heroes.
Wherever, then, the story of the Pittston
disaster is told, there let Martin Cooney
be known as its hero, and let children,
great and small, be taught to emulate
that noble spirit of selfdenial, which led
this humble workboy to lose his own life,
in endeavoring to warn others of an i'm
pending danger.-Hearh and Home.

A BEAUTIFUL THING.-A curious
and beautiful effect was produced by one
of the ice-making machines built lately
in Philadelphia. This was a cake of
manufactured ice, in the center of which.
completely inclosed by the translucent
material, was boquet of fresh flowers.
Every leaf and flower was perfectly visi-
BILE, while the brilliancy of the colors
was enhanced by the refraction through
the ice.

BOYS, DO YOU HEAR THAT?-A New
Orleans paper tells of printer who,
when his fellow workmen went out to
drink beer, during the working hours,
put in the bank the exact amount which
he would have spent if he had gone out
to drink. He kept to this resolution for
five years. He then examined his bank
account and found that he had on depos-
it s521.S6. In the five years he had
not lost day from i'll health. Three
out of five of his fellow workmen had
in the meantime become drunkards,
were worthless as workmen, and were
discharged. The water drinker then
bought out the printing office, went on
enlarging his business, and in twenty
years from the time he began to put by
his money, was worth 100000. The
story, whether new or old, teaches a
lesson which every boy and young man
should lay to heart.

REMEDY FoRSTINGs.-The other day,
while cleaning a few remaining Brad
shaws, as l took hold of plum it sent
a spark of fire into my finger. AT any
rate that was the impression of the mo-
ment, till white-headed hornet darted
off. | found it convenient to come down
from the tree.
But let me tell your million readers
that we have discovered one good use
for tobacco.
1t is one of the best remedies for all
stings of all insectsl wet it SO that the
juice shall start, and place it on the part
stung, and in one moment you are all
right again.
Last season little grandchild, walk
ing In the grass near bank, fell upon
nest of hornets, and the hornets speed
lily fell upon her. She was badly stung
eight or ten places. Her screams brought
the nurse. She too, screamed Every
body ran out of the house.
What's the matter?' And what's the
matter ? sounded from half a score of
frightened mouths.
Tobacco was at hand. Little wads of
it were wetted, bound on the parts stung,
and in ten minutes the little girl was
playing again, nimble as cricket. And
n
chiefly to set forth this remedy have we
introduced this article. We rejoice. at
length to learn that tobacco has some
reason for existing. 1t is the nasty
plague of neat men, but it is the good
antidote for venomous insect stings.-H
