The White Sulphur was not then known,

Fres h Eggs the Year Round.

A CROWDED hen will not lay well
neither will an ill-fed or disturbed fowl
Large collections in one body are there
fore usually loss to the owner. So are
neglected hens which are left to seek their
subsistence as best they may 1t is only
when they have the range Of the summer
fields that they will lay; hence hens will
do better in the summer The hen loves
freedom, contentment. When happy it
will lay, otherwise not, or not satisfactorily.
Let us give one out Of many cases which
establishes the ruIe-shall we not say
establishes the fact without exceptions :?
With a fair breed we think we are safe to
say this; with choice breed still better,
and always safe with good profits. Delos
M. Avery is a farmer in a small way, re-
siding in Salisbury, n. Y. This, we be-
lieve, is his third year of farming. Want
ing eggs for his family, consisting of
himself and wife, he purchased twelve
hens Of his next neighbor. They were
taken at random out of a flock of thirty Or
forty, which were left in the old-fashioned
way, HdFlug tue IdHSe VI tHO p1oMloOo.
The twelve purchased were the common
breed with some slight mixture. A couple
showed Brahma pretty plainly. They
were given for theirrange the barn, barn
yard, fenced with high pickets, and a
shed attached, with a stairway up the
shed, where floor was laid for their con-
venience Here were feed-troughs, places
to rest and to lay, all of a plain, tenn
porary kind, requiring but few hours
to secure. There were, however, plen-
ty of room, plenty Of air and plenty
of light. Below, under the shed, which
was open to the south, was bare ground
accessible all winter There was nothing
to disturb them in these quarters. They
were quiet and happy and socially dis
posed. This by being frequently visited
and kindly treated. They were let out
once day toward evening for change and
to pick at the grass. This was treat that
they seemed to enjoy. They kept well to-
gether in their short forays; and when the
time came for returning quietly submitted
to be driven like contented sheep to their
quarters, knowing well their place OF en-
trance, where each waited till its turn

Treat Mich Cows Kindly.

CONCERNING this important subject X.
A. Willard writes:
at is really astonishing what large
difference in the yield of milk it makes
by attending properly to a number of
small things in the management of stock
things which would seem to many quite
too insignificant to be worth observing.
The dairyman should have a genuine,
hearty love for the animals under his con-
troll; attending to every detail for their
comfort; providing wholesome, nutritious
food, pure water and pure air-everything
of this kind in misunderstanding the
animals properly sheltered from storms
feeding always with reatregularity; pay
ing the most marked attention to the man
ner and time of milking, and, withal, pre-
serving uniform kindness and gentle
ness of treatment throughout every oper-
alton, a gentleness extended even to the
tones Of the voice.
Generally speaking, that cow will do her
best that is loved the best and petted the
most by those who have her in charge. If
you wish a cow to do her best you must
cultivate her acquaintance intimately and
be unsparing in little acts of kindness.
You may whip and torture COW into
submission, but she will strike the bal
,ance against you in the milk-pail. One
of the greatest faults among dairy farmers
to-day is a lack of kindness and consider
alton to domestic animals. Cows should be
petted daily and be made to feel that man
is friend and protector. All pain, fright
and uneasiness check the secretion of
milk, and the man who is passionate and
abusive to his herd never did and never
can realize full yield of milk from it.
l think that anyone who has the charge
of animals should study their character
and disposition. 1t is an interesting study,
and, under the law of kindness, you will
not unfrequently bring out wonderful
traits and exhibitions of affection, which
will show forethought and design which
may well be ranked with the higher in
telligence of reasonable beings

How to Make Rag Carpets.

IF you want something for your kitchen
floor, firm, warm and durable, from which
spots can be easily removed, which can be
shaken, turned, and be as good as new
again, for several years, use rag carpets.
They can generally be obtained of car.
pet-dealers at from sixty cents to one dollar
yard; but often smoother and hand
somer article can be made at home, at
least ready for the loom. For this pur-
pose save the old clOthes-old flannel.

in fact, everything which will make long
strips. Old clothes of good colors are
doubly valuable. Calicoes, not TOO much
worn, are excellent material. Cut into
strips about an inch wide, sew end to end,
and wind smoothly into balls of about one
pound weight Allow from one and one
fourth to one and one-half pounds of rags
to square yard of carpeting. Collect all
odd pieces of any color for the mosaic or
hit-and-miss stripe. Cut and mix these
thoroughly before sewing, so as to make
the stripe as uniform as possible. A few
pounds of remnants from wooden factory
or soft listings of any needed color make
a nice stripe and require little sewing. Do
not put too much black into a kitchen
carpet, as it is not strong color aud
shows the dust more than other cOlOrs.
A stripe of several shades of red brig ht-
ems up carpet wonderfuly-an who OBJ
jects to little brightness in the kitchen?
White wooden rags take nice cOchineal
red, white cotton durable green, from
fustic and logwood, set with blue vitriol.
A cinnamon color may be dyed with cop
peras. Select coarse, strong warp, Of
some dark cOlOr-brown and slate COlOrs
are good-allowing one pound of warp
for every three and one-fourth yards of
carpeting. Keep the exact weight of rags
and warp to compare with weight of car
pet when returned, and employ good
weaver. Many prefer a kitchen carpet
put down with rings, as it can thus be
easily taken up and shaken.-Scribaery for
September.

or be able to solve intricate theological
problems, but he certainly does know
when and how to do the work on his farm
a little better than some of n; neichbors
who put on more airs. They may have
the heaviest brains, but he puts his 10
work where they will do the most good
They may really know the most, but he
puts the most of what he knows in prac
tice. He does not work as much as some
others, but carefully considers beforehand
how, when and where his efforts and those
of his hands can be spent to the best ad-
vantage; and the consequence is that so
little of his labor is lost that in the end he
accomplishes much more than the mere
plodder.
From all of which we draw this moral
First OF all, put your brains in your bust
ness and learn how, when and where to
do; and secondly, do what you know is
best. For instance, if you know that it is
best to SOW fall grain early try to SOW dur
ing August if possible, instead of waiting
as you generally do till the last of Septem-
Der and October, and then curse your

The Houses of Parliament and West
minister Abbey.

THE Houses of Parliament-the House
of Commons and the House of Lords
stand close by the river at Westminster,
with the Abbey in the rear. Probably
you will be more pleased with them than
with the other buildings that you have
seen in London. For, while they are large
and imposing, they have sort of airy
grace, which is produced by numerous
towers, spires and abundant scroll-work
To what can | compare them? They
seem so finely wrought that they might be
woven of lace instead of stone, and they
realize all ones ideas of a palace, even of a
fairy palace. At night, too, when the Par
lament is in session and all the windows
stream forth light, they are still more
beautiful and still more inviting to the
fancy. The interior is also exquisitely
grand; and this is the great legislative
hall where the Queen, the Lords and Com
mOners meet in council to frame laws for
the people.
Westminster Abbey is much older and
nobler building than the Houses of Par

Nelson in entering one of his sea-fghts,
and he echoed a common ambition. Burr
al in this sacred place is the highest
honor that can be paid to an Englishman,
and it is only allowed to the greatest. AT
one side there is small space called the

grave of Charles Dickens. Silent neigh
bOrs to him are the memorials or remains
Of Chaucer, Spencer, Shakespeare, Cam
den, Ben Jonson, Milton, Dryden, Add
son, Handel, Garrick, Goldsmith, Sheri-
dan, Macaulay, Thackeray, Palmerston
and others no less famous in history and
literature. Another part Of the abbey is
divided into ten chapels, within which
repose the Kings, Queens and Princes;
and the transepts and aisles also shelter il

The Village Barber.


He thought he recognized me the mo-
ment entered the door, but I refused to
encourage him in that belief 1t was a
strange town to me, all the people were
strangers, and | was so far from home
that | doubted if man, woman or child in
that locality had ever met me before
The barber smiled tenderly as he point
ed to the chair, and then led right off as
Familiarity as if he had shaved me every
day for a month past. While mixing the
lather he remarked on the weather, the
crops, the panic, the lost balloonists, and
other matters, and although did not pre-
tend to hear him he was not to be beaten.
[ hope you'll do we'll here" he said
as he pushed my head over and daubed
the lather on the right cheek, commenc-
ing at the butt of the ear.
Silence on my part.
"This town needs another dry-goods
store" he continued, after a moment,
land l shouldn't wonder if you just
coined money"
Long silence.
Perhaps it was the silence which con-
WINGED the barber that he had made a
mistake, but he was not discouraged. AS
he lathered the left cheek he suddenly
said:
"There are three or four lawyers here
now, but, as Christopher Columbus said
There's room at the top of the heap
and / think you'll be full of business all
the time"
He was looking right down into my
face, and through the foam of lather he
might have detected faint smile, frown,
or some other expression which hurt his
conceit. He instantly suspected that he
had made another mistake. / was look
ing into the glass in the wall, and [ saw
his countenance change. Some BARRIERS
would not have pursued the subject fur
Their, but he was the only barber in the
village, and he felt that he had certain
| rights which | was bound to respect. He
might have reasoned that | was mulish
and obstinate and needed coaxing and fiat
tering, or perhaps he theorized that | was
timid and hesitating, and wanted encour-
aging. At any rate, he soon attacked me
again, saying:
This isa nice village, but never saw so
much sickness in my life as we have had
this year. Our doctors don't seem to know
enough to manage the diseases, and am
glad you are going to open an Office. I
am pretty healthy as general thing, but
if I get sick I'll give you my custom in
preference to anyone else.''
Shll watching the glass, 1 saw self
satisfied smile ripple across his face For
about half a minute he was dead sure in
his own mind that he had boxed me up.
Then shade of suspicion crossed his
face. Silence sometimes gives consent
but in this case, after scrutinizing my face
sharply for an instant, he interpreted it to
mean that he had blundered again. He
was vexed. had no right to sit there and
treat his round-the- queries with
such contemptuous silence He would

A Year Ago and Now.

finish that last remark, and she toyed with
her fan, while her eyes were looking down
from beneath jaunty hat that only par
TALLY shaded her face from the light Of
the silvery moon.
He stood gracefully on the outside with
one hand resting on the gate-post and the
other tracing unintelligible hieroglyphics
on the panels. They were looking very
sentimental, and neither spoke for some
minutes until she broke silence in a sweet,
musical voice:
"And you will always think as you do
now, GeOrge?''
Ever, dearest. Your image is impressed
upon my heart so indelibly that nothing
can ever eface it. Tell me, julia lowell
est of your sex, that | have right to wear
it there"
ooh, you men are SO deceitful," she
answered coquettishly.
"True, Julia, men are deceitful," he
said, drawing a little nearer to her and
insinuating himself inside the gath, "but
who, darling, could deceive your"
"And if were to die, George, wouldn't
you find some one else you could love as
well 2"
"Never, never. No woman could ever
fill your place in my heart"
ooh, quit now! That amt right" she
murmured, as she made feint to remove
his arm from around her waist
"Let me hold you to my heart" he
whispered passionately, Z" until you have
consented to be mine,'' and he drew her
nearer to him and held her tightly until
he obtained the coveted boon
1t seemed but yesterday since our weary
footsteps interrupted that touching little
scene, but we passed near the same To-
cality at an early hour yesterday morn
ing, ere the moon and stars had paled, and
heard gentle voice exclaim:
No, sir; you've stayed out this long
and you may just as well make night of
it. I'll teach you to stay at the lodge
until three o'clock in the morning and
then come fooling around my door to
worry me and wake the baby. Now take
that and sleep on it,

The Reason for 1t.

SOME time ago gentleman, speaking OF
a farmer in this nei ghborhood, said he was
a lucky man, for whatever crop was the
highest in the market it always happened
that he had cultivated largely OF that par
ticular article that season and succeeded
in raising a good crop. He said that if
ANYTHING the man did not appear to have
even as much intelligence as his neigh
bors, but by sheer luck he was getting
rich, while many others could hardly hold
their own.
A couple of weeks ago we rode by this
mans farm and were struck with the su-
perior excellence of the shocks IN his wheat
field, and few days since we found that
grain in stack and the stubble already
turned under. We therefore came to the
conclusion that his success was not the
result of luck, but of industry and the APP
plication of brains to his business. He
may not understand the currency question:.
