l Worked and Earned II,

A few weeks ago, gentleman
living in an Eastern town was called
out of his bed one morning by several
vigorous raps upon his front door
lie hastily dressing himself, respond
ed TO the call, aud found standing
upon the steps an uncouch, roughly
clad boy, with an axe upon his
shoulder, who, hastily thrusling his
hand into his pantaloons pocket drew
out a small roll, and handing it to
Judge H, said:
There's seventy-live dollars, which
| want you to put into the savings
bank" and hastily turned on his heel
and started away.
The Judge. slightly Disconnected
at the curious proceeding, scarcely
knew what to say. till at length re-
covering his wits, he cried out after
the boy.
"Stopl come back here. How did
you come by this money ?"

The Russian Style of Beauty.

The characteristics of the Russian
type Of feminine beauty are an ex-
treme fairness of the complexion,
graylsh-bIuc eyes, blonde or chestnut
hair, and certain cnlbo0pDiDi. arising
from the lack of exercise aud the life
indoors, which is compelled hv a
winter lasting seven or eight months.
They suggest the idea of Udalisaucs
whom the genius of the North keeps
confined in the tropical atmosphere
OF hot-housc. They have complex
ions OF cold cream and snow, wi h
tints of the heart Of camelia-like
those over-veiled women of the
seraglio, whose skin the sunlight has
not touched. BY this extreme fair
ness their delicate features are render
ed even more delicate, and the soften
ed outlines form faces Of hyperborean
sweetness and polar grace. The
Russian women in society seem to
make less display than the men, as
the uniforms and court of the latter
glitter with gold lace and embroidery
and with jeweled decorations. Yet
the simple robes of the ladies are
composed of the cUstlier fabrics, fas-
tened with the rarest gems; and their
dazzling skins, and flashing diamonds,
and cleaning pearls, and flowing
Graperies match in effect the heavier
splcndor of the masculine attire.

FLOWING YOUNG ORCHARDS.

This is generally very delicate
and tedious task In the effort to
plow as closely as possible so as to
lessen the work of spading, we are
apt to get too close and mar the trees
with the whiflletrees or yoke. To
avoid this | have adopted the follow
ing plsn:. Hitch the team to q front
bob sleigh, then lash a stick across,
letting it project ls inches Oh the near
side; attach the plow to the end of
this; one runner will follow the near
horse in the furrow; the plow can
then be perfectly controlled. And |
can plow every inch Of the ground
without manning a single tree. The
dirt is then spaded back to each tree.
In an orchard Of 1900 trees this
saves an immense amount Of labor.
Any person can adjust the stick to
sui. himself. Of course the drift will

Clipping Fowls Wings.

A poultry raiser informs US that
when he cuts a chickens wing he
gets some one to hold the bird and
he takes the wing and stretches it
out, and with sharp knife commence
near the body, leaving three or four
of the quill feathers next the body
without cutting, and cuts all the rest
except three or four at the tip end.
That will take the wind out of their
sails and prevent flying. The feathers
left at the tip Of the wing enables the
hen to keep her eggs in place if you
let her sit, and when the wing is shut
up it does not disfgure her.
