Diane of Poictiers, Duchess of ' alen-
tinOis, reiRned the chief beauty at the
French Court during the lives of three
successive Kings. Brant0me, the histo-
nan, says that at the age of seventy
she was a. charming, fresh and lovely
as any lady of thirty. 1t was rumored
during her life that certain skilled
doctors and subtle alchemists prepared
for her q daily potion of soluble gold,
and by this means her beauty was pre-
served. Not soluble gold. nor other
potion did Diane drink, but by obedience
to natures laws, well studied, and all
wholesome aid of. arts did she live in
undiminished power of beauty all her
days. Bathing and proper gymnastic
exercise with due regard of dietetic
regimen will much improve the form,
and even grave faults of feature have
been corrected by skill and persever-
ance. Ugly noses have been reformed
by patient applications in some in
stances, and fOfeheads too low or too
high have been moderated.
Ii is said that Frederika Bremen,
whose very high forehead is remem-
bered, was originally possessed of a low

that altitude of fOrhead associated::with
all remembrance of her face. Some one

ear, the eye brow, the mouth are scarcely
second to the eye and hand in i'm

A valuable hint concerning earrings
is recalled, 1. e.. no base metals should
be used in the ears, and no gold less
than eighteen karats fine should be
used in ear ornaments. Heavy rings
tear and injure the ear, and effect
wound to be remedied only by an opera
ton of cutting. Art has been much
employed by ladies of late in the altera-
tiOn of their eyebrows. Goethe de-
nOunces the heavy eyebrow which meets
above the nose as sensuOus, and the
moderately heavy, slightly curved eye
brow is affected by old writers. Pliny
supposed that portion of the soul had
its dwelling in the eyebrow, and Herder
said that the arched eyebrow is the
rainbow OF peace, and when contracted
'tis the struDgbOw of strife

An officer from the plains speaking of
the wanton destruction of game by
tourists says: Antelope will take care
of themselves. No horse can catch
them, and not one dog in hundred can
run them down. They are very hard
game 10 kill, and the only way to get
them is TO steal upon them, or practice
on their curiosity. They are the most
curious of animals. Any unusual sight
does not appear TO frighten them. They

fiuttering in the wind, and used as a
cover for the hunter, until it is within
Il few rods of them. Any gay-colored
ribbons or cloth shaken at them attracts
their curiosity, and they will not run
until they have satisfied themselves
about it,

Naming Children.

The child has right TO his individu-
ality, to be himself and no other: tC
maintain against the world the divine
fact for which he stands. And before
this fact father, mother, instructor
should stand reverently; seeking rather
to understand and interpret its signifi-
cance than 10 wrest il from its original
purpose. 1t is not necessarily to be in
scribed with the family name, nor writ
ten over with family traditions. Nature
delights in surprises, and will not qua
rantee that the children of her poets
shall sing, nor that every Quaker baby
shall take kindly to drab color, or have
an inherent longing for a scoop bonnet
or broad brimmed hat.
In the naming of child his individu-
ality should be recognized. He should
not be invested with the east off cogno-
men of some dead ancestor of historical
celebrity, 4 name musty rs the grave
clothes of the original wearer-dolefully
redolent of old associations-a ghostly
index finger forever pointing to the
past. Let il be something fresh-a new
name standing for new fact, the sug-
gestion of history yet TO be written, a
prophecy to be fulfilled. The ass was
well enough clothed in his own russet,
but when he would put on the skin OF
the lion every attribute became con-
temptible. Commonplace people slip
easily through the world, but when they
are heralded by great names we resent
the incongruity, and insist upon max
ing them less than they are. George
Washington selling peanuts, Julius Csc
sar as bootblack, and Virgil vender
of old clothes make but a sorry figure
Leave to the dead kings their purple
ermfne, to the poets their laurels, to
the heroes of the earth sole possession
of the names they have rendered immor-
tai.
Let the child have a name that does
not mean too much at the outset, but
which he can fill with his individuality,
and make by-and-by to stand for ex-
actly the fact that he is.-Victoria MrgG-
zine.

Hor He Won Her.-A young couple
was occupying rustic seat in the Parl

of the masculine representatives. face
il was evident that he was "a gOner''
-drifted, as il were, over the greai
psychological Niagara of affection. and
was even then being dizzily whirled

the big white bear.
"Oh, do be mine, he said, attempting
to draw her little nearer his end OF
the seat.
She made herself rigid and heaved a
sigh: -.

No reply.

''And-and give you a diamond en-

ton.
Then the maiden lifted her dropping
eyes to his, and, leaning her frizzes on
his shoulder. tremblingly murmured
into his ravished ear:
"0h, Edward, yOu-yOu are so gOod!''
And there they sat aud sat until the
soft arms of Night-that dusky nurse
of the w0rld-had folded them from
sight. pondering, planning, thinking
she of the diamond ring, and he of how
on earth he was to get it.

Coal OIL Lamps Injurious TO Nilk.-One
of our dairymen, whose butter has a
high reputation in this market, informs
us that there had latterly been some
complaints about it, the cause of which
he for time was unable to discover,
but finally traced it TO the fumes of a
coal oil lamp used in lighting the milk
room. 1t shows tif such a word is
proper the extreme sensitiveness of
milk to the least impurity in the atmos-
phere and its rapid power of absorption.
The difficulty was entirely removed by
putting in tin yentilating tube, lead
ing from the chimney to the outside of
the roof. The butter was not afterward
complained of.-Prdctical Farmer.

Liquid Manure in the GdrdeR..-Two

mensely benefited, but used On fruit
bearing plants, it provoked scarcely
anything but foliage. such pea cines
were never before seen. In short,
where foliage and growth of plant are
wanted, use it freely, but where fruit
is desired, do not apply it when the
plant is growing.-COuRtry Gentleman.

as regards beauty, one cannot con-
ceive much prettier sight in farm
yard than lot of clean, snOw-white,
thriving Suffolks. They are certainly
source Of pride and profit. Though
not quite so prolific as the Berkshires,
they are usually good breeders; a half
dozen to eight pigs for one mother is a
fair average, though many successfully
rear more in one litter. The young
however, are generally more delicate
and tender than are the Berkshires, and
require little more care until from
eight TO ten weeks old, when they will
begin TO shoot ahead and make up for
lost time.

AGRICULTURAL.

The Golden Rale Of gricEltaIe.-Plants
live double life. They have two
fold nutrition-mineral and organic.
Their mineral food isaderiyed from the
soil, and the organic from the air.
While the organic constituents of plants
are generally uniform, by strict analy-
sis of their ashes, it is found thai the
different classes are marked by the
prevalence of certain mineral elements.
Some abound in potash, Others in lime,
some in phosphates, others in silica.
Different parts of the same plant have
also their preponderating elements.
Thus 1t appears that the reason why all
crops are not suited to the same soil, Is
a variation of the mineral elements.
All crops are not suited TO the same
soil, mainly because it is deficient in
certain mineral elements, or they exist
In too large quantities
The fertilization of soils is the addi-
tion to the soil of suitable pabulum for
the growth and development of plants.
IL allowed sufficient time. plants can
extract organic materials from the sur
rounding atmosphere 10 attain 10 Il
vigorous growth: yet if we apply TO
their roots manures yielding ammonia,
carbonic acid, nitrogen, etc., we supple
ment the atmospheric supply and hasten
their development. Liquid manures
are, therefore, OF high value, as their
action is immediate and powerful. But
if this policy is long continued, it will
exhaust the soluble mineral elements in
the soil and render il comparatively
worthless. Hence, in all permanent
systems of agriculture, mineral fertil-
iZers can no more be dispensed with
than organic.
Long continued cropping removes
from the soil all the available mineral
constituents of plant-food, unless we
return TO the soil, in the shape OF ma
nures, exactly what is lost in the crop.
This, then, is the golden rule of agri-
culture. BY failing TO heed this i'm
portant principle, millions of acres of
the choicest land have become worth
less, and millions more are now under
going the same ruinous process.
We should economize every source of
fertility. Manure heaps should all be
sprinkled with some absorbent, such a
gypsum, or diluted sulphuric acid, to
prevent the escape of ammonia, liquid
excretions preserved in tanks that none
of it may be wasted, ashes saved and
spread on the fields. Compost heaps
should be formed where all refuse
animal or vegetable-may be utilized:
and while the accumulation of filth and
noisome odors is prevented, the soil is
enriched and farming made remune-
rative. With fertilizers the careful
farmer can accomplish much; without
them, he can do nothing.-Farm journal.

Rotation Of CropS.-The best rotation
in one place would not be the best in
another. This question of rotation in
different localities is matter for ex-
pertinent. Grass, corn, wheat, and
grass in many localities is excellent
rotation. In others-grass, corn, roots,
oats, barley grass ARE profitably adapted.
In some localities where dairies are
kept there should be no rotation with a
view to securing good pastures and
meadows-if the right kinds and proper
number of varieties of grasses and clO-
vers are sown, and the fertility of the
meadows and pastures kept up by the
proper topdressing with fertilizers.
Where timothy grass is sown for
meadow, and where ii is profitable to
grow pure timothy hay for meadow,
the best way to keep up the crop is not
always TO plow it up the third year, but
to SOW the second year timothy seed on
the sod without plOwing, topdressing it
with manure after sowing the seed.
Because timothy ''runs OUT it does not
follow that the soil is exhausted. Ii
being biennial plant, requires re-
seeding every two years. This done
with proper topdressing, a timothy sod
can be "kept up indefinitely.
