FASHIONS FOR l90I.-A Saratoga correspond
ent Of the New York Commercial AdVertiser, pre-
tending to be writing thirty years hence, gives
the fashions for 1901. AS it may possibly be
useful to the daughters and granddaughters of
our present lady readers, we reproduce the des-
cripiion:
The high heels are gone. There are no more
round shoulders, but the goddess of fashion has
not been idle. Her ways are almost rs ridicu-
lous as they were in 1871, when they used to
stuff out with newspapers, and dangle their
hands and righanged wrists in front. Now
they have the front sole made an inch thick,
while the heels taken Off and every young
lady stands bent as far over back as they used
to stand bent forward, thirty years ago. Some
times the eyes are painted black underneath as
they used TO be. They said the cretonne suits
were worn for two years, then the ladies got to
wearing dresses made of peacock feathers. |

shoulder. The dresses are cut low-neck-very
low but the neck and shoulders are covered
with white kid to match the gloves. These
necks fit so nicely that you think you are look
ing at the naked shoulders. Shoddy young la
dies now wear stuffed arms and necks, and defy
detection. Young ladies have resorted to the
old fashion of greasng their hair again. The
old fashion of powderiug the face to take away
the gloss and glow Of health, has been discon-
tinued. Gentlemen wear trowsers very large at
the knee, tight at the bottom. They also wear
earrings, a fashion which used to be observed
thirty years ago by women alone. Gentlemen's
hats are generally the mode ehopeau de brigond

Why Do ANIMALS NEED SALT Professor
James Il. Johnson, Of Scotland, says that half
the saline matter of the blood (75 per cent con-
ssts of common salt, and this is partly dis
solved every day through the skin and kidneys,
the necessity of continued supplies of it TO the
healthy body is sufficiently obvious. The bile
also contains soda Zone of the ingredients of
salt) as a special and indispensable constituent,
aud so do all the cartiages nf the body. Stint
the supply of salt, and neither will the bile be
able properly to assist digestion, nor the cartila-
ges to be built up again as fast as they natural
ly waste 1t is better to place salt where stock
can have free access to it, than to give it occa-
sionally in small quantities. They will help them
selves to what they need, if allowed to do so at
pleasure, otherwise, when they become salt-hun-
gry they may take more than is wholesome"
Ar almost every step in life we meet with
young men from whom we anticipate wondeful
things, but Of whom, after careful inquiry, We
never hear word. The elIervescence of youth
and passion, aud the fresh gloss of intellect and
imagination, endow them vii a false brilliancy,
which makes fools of thems' Ees and other peo-
pie. Like certain chintzes ScalicOs and ging-
hams, they shSV finely on their first newness, but

Country Printers.

No trade, profession, or occupation, performs so
much labor, and expends so great an amount of
capital with as little remuneration, as the conn
try printer. The interest manifested by my I'm
Gle Toby, when he said, 81 pity the printer" was
not misplaced. These facts are true, as a general
rule. There may be occasional instances, where
country printers have succeeded in gathering to-
gether the vanity which 'takes unto itself wings"
but they are few and far between. Most general
ly, they suffer all the Inconvenience which neg
ligent patrons O and unwearied labor bring in
their wake. This should not be- There is some
thing radically wrong as the canse, which is wOr-
thy the serious attention of the class of persons
writing about.
One great obstacle the country printer has to
contend against, is the application of machinery
which reduces the cost of the city contemporary,
and which is not available to him. Then, again,
how many of the numerous dollar prints which
come directly in conflict with him, are but the
reprint of matter &hich has already brought a
large profit in the daily. Most of our country
readers do not understand this, and wonder why
the city paper can be furnished so much cheaper
than in the country. They are not aware that
the news, &C., which has been printed for them,
has before been furnished in daily paper, and
made up at the weeks end, in the cheap weekly,
costing the publisher little nothing beyond the
mere price of paper and printing by steam. To
attempt to enter into competition with such adj
vantages would be piece of folly to a country
printer, who is fortunate if he can name one thou
sand subscribers. 1t is evident that he must de-
pend upon the necessity there is for the disscmin
alton of local papers, and the generosity and pub
lie spirit of the population. If they should ex-
pect him to be governed in his terms by the ex-
ly on the city alone for their information the cir
culation of the former, being of necessity limited
to one county, while the latter have the entire
State or the whole Union.-Bradford Reporter.

summer Eating.

In the hottest climates of the world the inhab-
itants live to great extent fruits and vegeta-
bles, which have but very little of the heating
qualities. In our climate, which is between the
two, meats, vegetables, and fruits are eaten the
whole year round; but ifeaten judciously, ifeaten
according to the seasOn,-more of fruits and veg
etables in summer, and less of meats and fats
an incaculable amount of sickness would be pre-
vented every year. We would think man de-
ranged who should keep as large fires burning in
summer as in winter, and yet we all persist in
eating meats and fats and butter all through the
summer. Meats and butter are on our table three
times n day, when in reality they ought to be
sraringly used during the summer mouths, at
least by the young the old and the feeble, and by
all who are most of the time indoor or who have
nOactive employment. For the classes Just named
a very appropriate diet for summer would be as
follows:
Brcakfast-cOld bread and butter a slice of cold
meat, or in its place couple or eggs, a saucer
of berries or stewed fruit without milk cream or
sugar. The same for dinner, with one vegetable;
no other desserts. For supper, some cold bread
and butter and cup of hot drink, and nothing
else; nothing whatever between meals. So far
from starving on such diet, the class of persons
above named would thrive on it, woud grow
stronger every day would have more bodily vigor
more mental elasticity, and a greater flow of an
imal spirits, and for the reason that few would
eat too much there would be nothing to over
tempt the appetite, hence the stomach would not
be overwOrked, what work it did perform would
be well done; the blood made would be pure, life
giving and energizing. Any man of ordinary in
telligence and observation, who will give fair
trial to the above system of feeding will scarcely
fail to he convinced of its value within week
after he begins it.-HdlFs journal of Health.

Wow to Destroy Insects in Orchards.

The address of J. W. Robson before the 10. Da-
viess County ullinois) Horticultural Society, has
some excellent points relating to orchard culture
and especially the depreciation of insects; and he
recommends every orchardist to observe these few
details every season:
LIST. Encourage the black-cap titmouse and hairy
wOodpeeker, which destroy the insects in the pn-
pa state.
I'd. Pick up wormy fruit as soon as it falls, run
it through the cider-mil, or throw it to the hogs
to be eaten.
4th. Strips of wooden cloth tied around the
trunks when the trees are i'm bloom, and examined
twice a week, will destroy those that have esca-
ped and crawled there for shelter. They will be
found generally i'll Transformation state, between
worm and pupa.
9Th. Place bunch of weeds or soft hay in the
crotch of the tree at the same time, and examine
frequently. You have only to lock- Mt these dish

TINE ..OLD LyBERTY BELL,

A correspondent suggests the publication of an
account of the "old liberty bell" now in Indepen-
dence Hall, and in conformity to his request. the
following extract from "WatsOn's Annals of Phila-
delphia" is furnished:
"The fact concerning the bell first set mp in the
steeplc Gf we regard its after history has some
thing peculiar. II was of itself not little sngu-
lar that the bell when first set up, should in its
colonial character have been inscribed with the
mOttO-'PrOclaim liberty throughout the land,
and to all people thereof But it is stranger and
deserves to be often remembered, that it was the
first in Philadelphia, and from the situation of
Congress, then legislating beneath its peals, the
first in the United States to proclaim, by ringing
the news of the Declaration of Independenceo
The cOincdents are certainly peculiar, and could
be amplified by poetic imagination into many
singular relations.
'The bell was imported from England in 1852
for the State House, but having met with some
accident in the trial ringing after it was landed
it lost its tones received in the Fatherland, and
had to be conformed to ours by a recasting This
was done under the direction of Isaac Norris, Esq.,
the then Speaker of the Colonial Assembly, and
to him we are probably indebted for the remarka-

at was stated in the letters of Isaac Norris that
the bell got cracked by stroke of the capper
when hung up to try the sound. Pass & Stow
undertook to recast it, and on this circumstance
Mr. Norris remarks: "They have made a good
bell, which pleases me much that We should first
venture upon and succeed in the grandest bell,
for anght know, in English America-surpassing,
too, Che says) the imported one, which was too
high aad brittle [sufiiciently emblematic.] The
weight was two Thousand and eighty pounds"
At the time the British were expected to occupy
Philadelphia, in LII, the bell, with others, was
taken from the city to preserve them from the
enemy. At former period, say in l774 the base
of the woodwork of the steeple was found in
state of decay, and it was deemed advisable to
take it down, leaving only small belfry to cover
the bell for the of the town clock. 1t so con-
tinued until public feeling being much in favor of
returning the venerated building to its former
character, Gas seen when il became the Hall of In

an age behind the times in general information;
besides they can never think much nor find much
to talk about. And then there are the little ones
growing up in ignorance, without any taste for
reading. Besides all these evils, there's the wife,
who, when the work is done, has to sit down with
her hands in her lap; and nothing to amuse her,
or divert her mind from the tolls and of the

Many parents try to cure their children of left
handetlness by using severe measures, such as
whipping or Obliging the child to 60 for weeks
with the left hand tied to the body. Some even
go SO far rs to make it a matter of special sham
ing and modification. These should never be
tried until patient trial of plcasanter measures
has failed. Left-handedness certainly produces
an awkward effect, but it is not one of the cardi-
nal sins. If a child can be taught to write with
her right hand, TO use her knife fork, and spoon
properly, raise her glass, and offer her right hand
in salutatiOn, it is by no means necessary to cure
her of using the left hand occasionally. In many
cases, to be ambidextrOus is Invaluable to women.
All needle work should be carefully taught with
the right hand as needlelholder, but left-handed-
ness should not be treated as crime to he pun
ished. The child should be kindly told its disad-
vantages, and shown how awkward it looks
pretty coral bracelet of beads strung on elastic,
worn on the right hand, has marvellous effect on
left-handed girls, and is always worth trying.

For Flies ON Horses.

The journal of Chemistry gives the following as
preventive of horses being leased by flies:
"Take two or three small handfnls of walnut
leaves, upon which pour three quarts of cold wa
ter, let it infuse one night, and pour the whole
quarter of an hour. When cold, it will be fit for
use. The way to use it is to moisten a sponge,
and before horse goes ont of the stable, let those
parts which are most irritable be smeared over
with the liquor, viz: Between and upon the ears,
and neck, and TANKS, etc. Not only the gentle
man or lady who rides ont for pleasure will derive
pleasure from the walnut leaves thus prepared,
hut the cOachman, the wagner, and all others
who use horses during the hot weather.,

HAY CAPs.-Any method of making hay which
would insure it from damage from the weather.
and improve the quality, would, if generally adop
ted, add millions of dollars annually to the gains
Of the farmers of our country. Want of prOtec-
ton from the weather while curing is the greatest
obstacle to making good hay, and if an efficient,
durable and cheap hay cap could be produced it
would come into general use and make fortune
for its inventor. The hay caps now in limited
use SO because, mainly of their great cost and
non-durability. There is a good field for inven-
tors. Will they take the hintf Hay caps would
enable the hay maker to cure his grass in the

"Tend your corn rell; tend it iate-don't be

excuse for neglect, says you will ruin it if ten
ded when the blades curl up. This is all bosh !;
the blades will open the recedes behind the

abandon your early, that inevitable late crop
Of weeds and grass will come upon your land like

Therefore, we say, tend your land late, and crowd

mellow condition, and sowing there few pounds
of turnip seed about the Goth of August"
