Beware of Them.

Women should not wear striped stock
ings as they value their precious legs, for
the aniline dyes used in producing GER
tain colors are poisonous, and cause the
worst kind of malignant sores-and of
all nuisances sore legs must be the worst
and most destructive of beauty.
Strength, grace and good looks are walked
away on such legs. A great American
genius, the late Mr.. Hawthorne, has said
that white stocking is infinitely more
effective than black one; and, certainly,
white stockings and little, low black
shoes form a chduss,tre that has no equal
for feminine feet and legs, and that is far
superior to one that has all the colors of
the rainbow. Striped stockings on wom-
en- are as much out Of place as striped
shoes would be on men.-Boston Trav-

The School Boy.

The Burlington ssHawkeye" writes of the
deceptive little boy: Passing by one Of
the city schools yesterday, we listened to
the scholars singing. ''Oh, how I love my
teacher dear" There was one boy, with q
voice like atornado, who was soenthusiastic
that he emphasized every word, and roared,
''Oh how love my teacher DEAR" with q
vim that left no possible doubt of his affec-
ton. Ten minutes after that boy had been
stood ON the floor for putting shoemaker's
wax on bis teachers chair, got three demer-
it marks for drawing picture of her with
red chalk On the back of an atlas, been well
shaken for putting bent pin in another
boys chair, scolding for whistling out loud,
sentenced to stay after school for drawing
ink moustaches on his face and backing the
end of another boys noise, and soundly
whipped for slapping three hundred and
thirty-nine spit balls up against the ceiling,
and throwing one big one into girls ear.
You can't believe half boy says when he

Keeping Butter Seven Years.

Mr.. S. M. Babcock of Allegheny Co.,
n. Y, gives us the history of firkin of
butter which remained in a cellar seven
years. and on opening it was found to be
''passably good as to color and TASTE" eX-
cept on the outside, where, i'm contact
with the wood, the color had changed,
and resembled lard. This tub of butter,
with number of others, he says, was
stored by certain merchant of Bath, n.
Y, III the cellar Of brick building then
owned and occupied by him. On rent
ing the building, the butter packages
were removed, except the one in ques-
ton, which in some way happened to
get covered up with boards and rubbish
and was not observed. In this condition
it remained for some years, when. on re-
occupying the store and removing the
rubbish, it was discovered. Mr.. BabcOck
said he was present at the time the but
ter was found, and ON taking out the
head of the firkin he found the color of
the butter changed on the outside where
the air penetrated-in some places TO the
depth of half an inch-the firkin being
light and loosely made. After having
been thoroughly examined and tested,
this butter was sold to baker of the
place at one shilling per pound, good
fresh butter then selling for from I5
cents to is cents.
He adds that neighbor, taking the
hint from the above facts, some time
afterward, when the price of butter was
low, concluded to hold his butter and try
the experiment of keeping it in similar
manner. Placing his butter in his cellar,
he covered it up, where it remained from
spring until the next winter, when it was
sold to very fastidiOus buyer, and
brought within . cents to cents per
pound of the price paid for the best late
or fall made butter. The conclusion
which Mr.. Babcock draws from the above
is, that butter mny be kept in cellar of
low and uniform temperature if put up
in white oak firkins free from sap, care
being taken to have them heavily hoped
and make with closely fitting joints, so as
to be tight, thus preventing the access of
air.-Rur0I NelD Yorker.

Small farms make near neighbors; they
make good roads; they make plenty of
good schools and churches; there is more
money made in proportion to the labor;
less labor is wanted; everything is kept
neat; less wages bave to be paid for help;
less time is wasted; more is raised to the
acre; besides, it is titled better; there is
not as much watching of hired help; the
mind is not kept in worry, stew, a fret,
all the time. There's not so much fear of
drouth of weather, of a frost, of small
prices. There's not so much money to
be paid out for agricultural implements.
