APLEA FOR THE SHOP GIRLS. -A prom
inent Philadelphia physician writes as iol-
lows of the practice of compelling shop
girls to stand behind the counter during
all their hours of service: The custom
is selfish, cruel and worthless, selfish on
the part of the employer requiring the
women to stand all the time, whether
serving customers or not, and this merely
that they may appear to be always on the
alert to answer those who call. To stand
from seven or eight in the morning to six,
eight or ten at night-as is the custom at
certain stores-with short time at mid
day for dinner, would weary any man.
But to exact such service from girls and
women! Their physical powers are, it is
well known, much weaker than those of
men at any rate, and by their anatomical
and physiological peculiarities they are
entirely unfit for bearing this especially
severe toll. Misunderstanding all day
long My professional brethren who
practice largely among women are con-
stantly witnessing the terrible conse-
quences of this most cruel rule of the es-
Enlistment !"

When Matilda's first child was born
it was snatchA fl ON her side while she
lay asleep. The second shared the
same fate. She was accused to Conrad
of being IN enchantress, and Of de.
rstroying her children. He was con.
WINGED of her guilt, and ordered her to
be shut up in the bath, and3a fire kim
died that she might be consumed in the
vapor. In her last extremity, she re-
membered that she had yet one more
wish to get from the musk.apple. She
prayed to Nixa, who appeared with the
two children, restored them to her, and
her to her husband, revealing that
they had been taken away by her
wicked mother.in.law, who never for.
gave Conrad for marrying a kitchen
maid; but Matilda's innocence was es-
tablished, and those who had charged
her falsely were destroyed by the fires
that were kindled to destroy her.

Shelter Tor Tools.


The Farmers' Union says: Snow
that harvesting is over, take care Of the
tools. A harvester that costs $500 is
too expensive piece Of machinery to
lie out in all weathers, exposed to wind,
sun and rain. One Of our correspond.
ents some time since made the startling
announcement that on an average they
did not do over two months work be.
fore they: were worn Understanding
that two weeks labor was got out OF
them each year, and that in four years
they were used up. Now this
ought not so to be, and yet it is on a
par with much Of the farming in the
West. Build shelter, be it ever so
cheap, and store your machinery in it
the first thing after getting your grain
in the stack. Take out the sickle, oil
it, and lay it away for safe keeping in
your house. Clean thoroughly oil the
metal work and rubit over with tai
low; to save rusting, for this not only
destroys your machine, but causes fric-
tion, which will rack it to pieces when
it is next needed for use. And as soon
as you can, paint it over. Paint pre-
serves your wood and keeps it FROM sun
cracks and rot, If it is sheltered and
painted, and kept from rusting, and the
nuts properly screwed up when in use,
a good harvester will last dozen years
with occasional renewal of the sickle"

Milk as Well as Beef.

During recent discussion at meet
ing of English breeders on the manage.
ment Of short horn cattle, the chairman
said: Zone great fault Of short horn
feeding had been that they had looked
too much to beef and too little to milk.
He had been grievcd to see short horn
heifer unable to bling up her calf aud
to require an inferior animal to be used.
MIR. Thomas Bates and other breeders
used to boast about the milk as we'll as
the beef producing qualities Of their
animals, but this was not SO now. The
object of the early breeders of short
horns was not to have fashionable herds
but animals in the best condition. The
miners and we'll paid artisans would not
buy those great Jumps Of fat, but as
prime mutton and beef as could bebad.
What the farmer now wanted was the
class Of stock fit to bring into the mark
ct as early as possible, and which
would bring the greatest profit. What
was wanted was to produce two year
old bullocks as prime as they formerly
were at four years." Our own breeders
would do we'll to need the above obser-
vation; for too many Of them,especially
at the west, have 1atterly greatly neg.
'lected tho milking qualities of their
short horns, paying almost exclusive at
tention to them for beef. We have re-
peatedly seen tho first prizes at our cat
tie shows awarded to cows that had but
two or three scrviceable teats, and to
others whose udders and teats were so
small they could not produce half milk
ENOUGH to bring up calf. It was not
thus with the early short horns-they
were almost universally great mixers.

Muslin dresses, even Of the most del.

utes or a quarter of an hour without
losing their color. Melt half pound
of soap in a.gallon Of water, empty it

other large tubs Of clean water, and
stir into one quart of bran. Put the
muslin in the soap, turn it over and
kneed it a few minutes: squeeze it out

rinse it about quickly in the bran for
couple of minutes in clean water.
Squeeze OUT dry and hang it between

chosen to wash muslin dresses. Half a
dozen may be done this way in half an
hour. The last rinse may be prepared
IN the same way as the rinses for WOOL

FEARFUL. CRIME uNGRANsunY.

Among our items of state news pub
lished n fortnight ago, we mentioned
the death of Captain pidcoke, of Gran
bury, accustomed by mistake In Talk
ing some pills. It has since been de-
veloped by coroner's jury, as we
learn from the Denison News, that the
unfortunate man was the victim of his
wife's intldelity and treachery. The
statement is that she allowed herself
to be seduced from her duty to her
husband by man named Count; that
Count had considerable money when
their guilty intercourse began; that
this money had been exhausted, and
that IN order to repienish his exche-
quer, he prevailed upon his victim to
poison her husband so that she might
collect a policy of Insurance he had Ia
ken out on his life. The poison used
was morphine, made up into pills, and
administered to Pidcoke when he COM
plaired Of being unwell. The guilty
woman and her more guilty paramour
are now in the Granbury jail awaiting
their trial for murder.

THE FORCE OF EXAMPLE.

Only few days ago 1t was flashed
over the wires that the investigating
committee of Plymouth church had
thrown the white robe of innocence
over their great pastor, and consigned
to lifelong and eternal damnati0n all
who would dare to waga tongue against
him. Taking their cue from this nc
tion, the investigating committee Of
the colored church at Dcnison has de-
cided that, "in the whole, there was
no evidence that in the judgment of
the committee sustained any of the
grave charges against their beloved
pastor and teacher
1t was noticeable, says the News, in
this, as in the Beeeher investigation
case, that all the women stood up for
Mr., Gregory.
