AFew Sheep On the Farm.

A relative profit is much greater
from a small flock than a large one.
The grain farmer,n mo matter heEfew
his acres, can make money by keep
ing a few sheep. There is always
room for them somewhere, and they
consume and turn into money food
that otherwise would waste. But he
must be careful not to Overstock.
To Illustrate; suppose the farmer
cultivates only eighty acres, raising
grain chiefly He keeps a.few COWS
and the necessary teams. One fifth
of his farm is in pasture, one fifth
meadow; one planted, one spring
grain, and wheat. He. thinks be
has as much as he can lprofitably
keep, but il he puts on one sheep to
every five acres, he will find their
products clear gain. In the spring,
early, they can run on the sod which
is to be planted, and one sheep to
acre will not hurt the land, yet they
will live well. After they can 60 in
to the pasture, and will clean after
the cows to advantage. A run on
the stubbles after harvest will not
be felt where each sheep has two
acres, and in the fall is plenty of
feed. Through the winter can be
well kept on what the other stock
would not consume, with the addi-
ton of a little grain. Probably the
most profitable are some the coarser
wooled. mutton breeds. Their lambs
sell to the butchers for high prices
and when fat the sheep fetch as
much as ayearling a steer. Sixteen
mutton sheep, well managed, would
produce a yearly income of one
hundred dollars, where if none were
kept, nothing would be realized. The
greatest drawback is liability to loss
by dogs; and it is disgrace to any
State to protect its ours so well that
they eXpel, to a certain extent, the
only animal which can cheaper the
meat and clothing of the people. ~

% Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard; and it is the on
ly reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to its youthful color, making
it soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandrutg and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, il restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create q new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR dressing ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tions, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. A. A. Hayes,
MD, State Assayer of Massaehu-
sets, says, "The constituents are
pure, and carefully selected for ex-
cellent quality; and | consider it
the BEsr PREPARATION for its
intended purposes"

Kitty and Almost. ~

Kitty and Almost"
Kitty had a birthday present
which pleased her very much in
deed. What do you think it wasi
A sandal-wood work-box from Uu-
Gle Curtice, with sissors, thimble,
needle, and everything it was prop
er for a complete work-box to have.
1t gave great spur to kitty's
love of sewing. She did not like a
needle and thread before. Now she
did. And Kitty undertook to hem
a dozen towels. A dozen towels
was pile to be sure, but she well
knew it was only a stitch at time,
and stitch at a time is perfectly
within the compass of a small child
to do,
Kitty was on the first towel, doing
it all herself,even to turning down
the hem, and had hemmed half OF
one end. when she took it to her
papa,
"Papa," she asked sis not that
hem eVen!fttt itf J. NfFH
Papa took his eyes from his news
paper, put them on the hem, then
looked at little Kitty,as much as to
say: "Do you think it is Kitty"
"Don't you think it is almost
even?" asked Kitty, guessing his
meaning and blushing.
What is almost even? asked papa
;stroking his little girls hair.
What is almost even? repeated
Kitty,with look of surprise in hel
bule eyes.
Yes, answered he. Kitty thought
a moment, and her father waited fol
the thought. - ~ ~ 49,
It's uneven. replied Kitty.
Yes said papa, almost even is un-
even The hem is uneven.
Then it must be picked out and
done over, said Kitty, with disap.
pointed hitch, II want to do il
right"
- ''Of course" replied her father.
"Papa is setting himself up to be
q great judge of hems," thought
Kitty, inside.
She did not believe her mother
wluld be so exact. However,
since she asked hlm, she could do
no less than act on his judgement.
Kitty went back to her window
seat, picked out her stitches, which
nobody allows to be pleasant work,
and carefully began the second
time. She did not dare to go be-
yond two inches, before coming to
show it. = =. --Et {
Her father took the towel in his
hand and examined the hem. "This
is even," he said; "the stitches are
in a straight line; the work is done
right, and Kitty, 1 am sure, was
more pleased than if she had sue
ceeded at first, and much more than
if her father had thoughtlessly
said, @Very well" when it was done
i'll.
S"Kitty," said papa, taking her
small hand in his, ,"there is straight
line running through life, and on
one side of 1t is the wrong side, on
the other is the right side, and eve
rything is on one side or the other.
There is no such thing as almost
right, Almost right is always
wrong; almost good is bad; almost
true is an untruth, a lie; as almost
even is uneven" aal-lz-zls 4
''Yes, papa" said Kitty, quickly,
sand an almost perfect lesson is an
imperfect lesson. / told the girls so.
Because, if you miss once, you lose
your place."
Exactly so,'' said papa, sand as
God is truth loving God, he likes
to have all things called by their
right names. He wants us to see
the truth, and to speak the truth /;
and in order to do so, we must be
exact in our words and expressions.

iOus means to restore breathing; and while She
cOughed so hard she could not eXpOTate anything,

of her recovery. Her son noticed the advertise

two hours she had EXPECTORATED TWO PINTs Of
mucous matter, which gave her immediate re-

Of the sun. Modern masks, nlufs, fans and
false hair for women were introduced into
use by the loose women of Italy, and i'm
ported into England from France in the six
teenth century. The fan was formerly used
by women to hide their faces while in
church. Germany claims the honor of the
invention of the modern pin. In former
times thorns, or pieces of pointed wood,
were employed as pins. In Japan, the fan
is universally used by both sexes, and serves
for many useful purposes. They are used
as protectors against the rain, for hats are
worn by neither sex. Visitors receive re-
freshments in their fans, and the beggar &C
cepts aims on his fan. The presentation of
fan is the signal for executing high-born
criminals.

THEGREAT FAMINE.


Of thegreat Persian Famine, which would
seem not yet to have exhausted itself, the
Nation of New York remarks:
The accounts of the famine in Persia,
which continue to arrive in greater detail,
bid fair to treat the world to the spectacle
of calamity the like of which has not been
witnessed in historic times at least-the sud-
den extinction Of nation by want of food.
This has really been the fate of the great
States which once filled the valley of the
Euphrates, and it is fate which has for
centuries been threatening some modern
States, Spain, for instance. Man has strip
ped the soil of trees; the absence of trees
has brought droughts; drOughts have slowly
diminished the productive powers Of the
ground, and finally destroyed them, the
population, in the meantime, dwindling in
numbers and vitality. Spain had forty mil
lions OfpeOple in the time of the Romans,
and flowed with milk and honey; it is now
an arid region, only half of it under cultiva-
ton, with only sixteen millions of inhabi-
tants, and, if modern science had not come
to its aid, would probably 60 the way of
Babylon. Persia was one of the most pow
erful States of antiquity, and even in the
fourteenth century was able to support the
army of Tamerlane, who marched without
commissariat or baggage, during bloody
contest. 1t is now almost a wilderness,
witha population of two miIliOns-abOut
half of them nomads-Which is rapidly
perishing from famine brought on by three
years drought. The worst of it is, that,
owing to the absence Of either common
roads or railroads, it seems to be impossible
oIor Of +Io 90 ho xrJNrl1 fo
reach the sufferers, so that there is really
strong prospect of the total depopulation of
the country. The moral of this horrible
story is-look after your trees. 1t is to be
hoped that we shah witness, before long,
some organized attempt in this country to
deal with this momentous question of forest
preservation, which is daily becoming more
pressing. Zoroaster, the great Persian leg
islator, was wiser than he knew when he
put planting a tree among the most meri-
tOriOuS of acts
