Others in like positions, by a prompt and

The case of Jay Gould and the reformed"

The Pennsylvania constitutional convcn-
ton have worked out the grand problem
of cheap transportation. and settled
the railroad question forever. They
nave graycly inserted a provision in the
proposed constitution, to TIE effect that
any individual who may so desire, may
construct and operate railroad on his own
hook. Glorious privilege! The farmers
of Pennsylvania must be greatly rejoiccd
as it will hc SO convenient. so cheap and so
easy TO take advantage Of this nestimablc
liberty. If we had such "A provision in

when and where we pleased. Free passes
wouldn't amount to anything. Let Il rail

of railroads would spring up. Oh, it
would be such fun to snub these men that
wouldn't give II pass.

banks resumed specie payments after fine
great financial panic of 1857. RESUMPTION
was then effected by coup detat on the
part of the New York banks, and all the

days, and finally resolved to resume ON tbc
Isl OF July, some six months distant. The
New York banks - holted,' and, meeting
separately, voted to resume at once. That
may have been where Horace Greeley rot

out freely over all their counters The pco-
pie for Il few days ran after the coin, but

banks of Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-

How a Girl Helps to Clean House.

SHE is perfectly willing to help. She
tells her mother She would just as lief
stay home week as not, and informs
her teacher, with a semi-triumphant air,
that she has to stay home next week to
help clean house.
The carpets are to be taken up first, and
that girl, delicately reared though she be,
bravely sits down in the middle of the
floor and reads paper while her mother
and hired girl take out the lacks and make
frantic efforts to use the same form of
common prayer that the head of the house
uses when his boots don't come on easily
in the morning.
The carpet is rolled up and taken out
into the back yard and hung on the clothes
line to be busted. Now the girl comes
out strong and shows the latent energy
that is in her. She SEXES an old broom
and starts toward the swinging carpet with
an air of determination. On her way she
spies her friend Kate passing and goes off
to the side fence to talk about an hour and
a half about-well, about whatever girls
do talk about under the same circum-
stances. Then she goes into the house
and eats her dinner and complains of be-
ing tired.
In the afternoon she begins busting and
arranging the books in the bookcase

and begins to hum it. She opens the

she can take the high note nicely, and be-

was so sweet so she sits down and begins
to play. While she is practising Robert

mails The barn ought to be on sloping
hillside, so that the stalls for horses and
cattle night be in the toundation-the hay,
grain, etc be secured above. In this way,
grain and hay may be secured in the barn
and made into manure in the barn-yard.
Every horse and cow ought to manutac-
ture manure. Swine and sheep make the
best of manure Hen manure is probably
the richest of all manure, containing "a
per cent of ammonia.
If the farmer were to make four or five
or six tour-horse loads of manure in one
year, for every horse, COW and hog on his
farm his farm would improve rapidly.
This he may do by using straw litter, etc,
| freely in stables.
| But in addition to the manure from the
| barn-vard and hog pen and poultry house,
| the farmer should sow clover freely, let it
attain its full growth, and see that one crop
| at least is left on the soil. The good far
mer improves his land from clover-the
| poor and thoughtless farmer may SOW
clover and impovcrish his soil by iniudi-
| cious grazing. Some farmers use lime,
others buy ground bones, others buy phos-
pilates, the various alSalies, etc. All are
good if properly made and properly used.
| But if the farmer wants good cops his
land must be well manured-rich.
| The barn yard is the farmers main de
pendcncc for manure. The yard should
he freely Uttered, the stalls cleaned out
regularly, and their contents distributed
evenly over the yard. Plaster should be
scattered over the yard every week or two.
All stock ought to be induced to remain in
| the ward when not stabbed. A little hay
or fodder will make them fond of the yard
The yard ought to be securely inclosed
| and Il cistern at the end of the barn, of
suitable size, will furnish a large quantity
| of water for stock
