When merchant desires to secure the serv-
ices of a buyer for an important branch OF his
business, it i. readily understood that the COM

entirely on bis capacity, skill, and experience,

$40, 900 per year, according as he is expert
enced and capable.
Newspaper advertising may be compared u

Protect tic Crows.

Over in York county, Pa, IA war
DISCRIMINATION IS waged against
the crows, a reward Of three cents
paid for each scalp. Instead Of con-
denning 1t, we are astOnisned to
see the papers of that county pub
fishing the murderer of the most
crows as public benefactor. The
only crime charged against the
crow by his malignant enemy is
that sometimes in the spring, he
pulls up little Of the farmers
corn. Yet he spends all the rest of
the year in hunting and destroy
ing the worst insect enemies the
farmer has. Crows will even eat
potato bugs, and a farmer who
planted his potatoes last year, on
the edge of a woods had his vines
kept perfectly clear of the bugs by
the crows.
In addition to this testimony,
the JHestern Rural relates now a
tame crow which had the ran of
the garden kept it free from the
striped cucumber bugs, searching
for them closely beneath the leaves
and not finding sufficient employ
ment at home. cleared the neigh
bors' gardens for a long distance
around. If one tame crow could
thus usefuIly employ its talents
aud time, of what use would the
whole family of crows become
could we happily enlist them in
our service, instead of treating
them in our present hostile man
ner, OF which they certainly have
ears to complain.

SUNDAY THOUGHTS.

Vengeance has no foresight.
No one ever lost his honor except
he who had it not.
Truth, like roses, often blossoms
upon thorny stem.
From the lowest depth there is a
path to the loftiest height.
Revere is not thought, though ma
ny people mistake it for thought.
Malice sucks up the great part of
her own venom, and poisons herself.
Scandal, like a reptile crawling
over a bright grass, leaves a trail and
stain.
When thou canst not see ought for
thyself, then believe that God secs
for thee.
Most of the shadows that cross our
paths thro' life are caused by stand
ing in our own light.
Melancholy spreads itself betwixt
heaven and earth, like envy brtween
man and man, and is an everlasting
mist.
Great men leave two different inn
pressions of themselves ON their con-
temporaries--the one the result Of
their public career, the other of their
private life.
One beautiful trait in true wo-
man Is character is her inyariable rea-
diness to smooth her husbands tenn
permanent, even if she has to do it
with an aching heart.
Let us take care how we speak of
those who have fallen on life's field.
Help them up-not heap Scorn upon
them. We did not see the conflict
we do not know the sears.
This world of education and bush
ness and pleasure is all spread out be-
fore the young heart, and for the
most part a charming world it is in
its morning and evening, summer
and winter.
Do good to all men, as you have
opportunity. Deal out kindness and
fayors with an unsparing hand. The
cause you understand not, search
out If you cannot find happiness by
direct search, try another plan.-
Make Others happy, and see ii that
does not make you truly blessed.
We must distinguish between those
who produce good works, as making
up love to God, and those whose love
toGod necessitates good works. The
former is the clock that works artifi-
cially, and will soon run down and
decay. The latter is the sun dial,
which is now obscured, it is true, by
clouds and nights, but which viii
hereafter, in the uncloudcd day of
summer, respond forever to the Dir
vine will.

FEMININE MATTERS,

Leghorn hats are said to be very
cheap this season.
A ribbon is made for hats, with

French nansook wrappers have
Vatican backs with tabliers Of trim
ming. and little round capes made Of
embroidery, insertion, and knife
pleating.
The Spanish comb Is much in de-
mand now. and is to most faces be-
coming. Side-comhs are also much
in favor, and are used for holding
back stray tresses.
Garden hats are Maria Antoinette
flats of Leghorn braid or Of 4 chip,
with very wide flat brim of equal
width all around, but curved TO drop
in front and back.
Z Creamy white French nansook will
be used for summer costumes, richly
trimmed with fine knife pleatlng,
edged with Valencienncs, and alter
mating with ruflles of Hamburg en-
broidery.
The mantalet is one of the pretty
new garments. 1t is a round cape
falling only to the waist and made of
lace--one row above another--abont
two inches and a half wide, and fast
ened to net lining.
There has been this year a revival
Of calicoes. 1t is said that Madame
Theirs, who now sets the French
fashions, instead of the Empress Eur
genie, is responsible for their restor-
ed favor in the fashionable world.
Fans are Of the medium size, from
ten to twelve inches nlength, and.
the pointed styles still remain in fa-
vor. Persian painting, in which the
monogram or initials is sometimes
introduced, is the .fea-cy.
The glove solitaire is a convenient
arrangement for fastening a glove
too small at the wrist. The solitaire
is in the shape of a large oval button,
and can be instantaneously attached
to the button-hole side of the glove.

Every year increases the popu-
larity of this valuable Hair Prep
aration, which is due to merit
alone. We can assure our old
patrons that it is kept fully up to
its high standard and it is the on
" reliable and perfected prepara-
ton for restoring GRAY OR FADED
HAIR to Its youthful color, making
il soft, lustrous, and silken. The
scalp, by its use, becomes white and
clean. 1t removes all eruptions and
dandrufr and, by its tonic proper
ties, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. BY its use, the
hair grows thicker and stronger.
In badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create new growth, except in
extreme old age. 1t is the most
economical HAIR DRESSING ever
used, as it requires fewer applica-
tons, and gives the hair splendid,
glossy appearance. a. A. Hayes,

sets, says, "The constituents are

eeIlent quality; and consider it

How a Nevada Boy Cured His Father
OF the HiccOughs.

A young gentleman who attends the
Austin, New, public school had been told,
says the ReUeiLLe, that sudden shock or
fright would cure the hiccough, and the
other evening, while he was studying his
lesson for the morrow by drawing a pic
ture of the schOOlma'am on his slate, his
respected prO9enitOr was seized with a fit
of hiccOughs. The old gentleman was
tilted back in his chair, with his feet rest
ing on the top of the stove, and the young
hopeful concluded to try the cure on him.
Just as the old man was rastling" with
a heart-breaking hic the boy jumped up
aud YELLED "Fire!" The old man was
just getting out cuh-cuh, but he never got
it out. He gave jump which tilted over
the chair, and in endeavOring to regain bis
lost equilibrium his feet flew up against the
table, upsetting it and a student lamp
which stood upon it, and his head landed
in the ashes on the stove hearth. The old
lady, hearing the racket, came running in
from the kitcl en- and tripped over the old
mans PROSTATE form, knocking down a
whatnOt with lot of glass and China or
naments. When that boys father arose
from the wreck and shook the ashes and
splinters Of glass out of his hair and
clothes he was cured of the hiccOughs, but
there was look of sternness in his eye; {;
the boy says he knows it was g stern +"
lOok-feelingly " stern," as he can testify.
He says fright is splendid cure for the
hiccups," but that the "stern" look it
occasions is three hundred thousand times
worse than the hiccups." He can't PLAY
tag now, as he says his mother has for
hidden him, and he sits on the edge of the
seat at school, and lies on his front when
in bed, and silently murmurs that the old
man can hiccup his cOnsarned old head off
before he will ever try to cure him.

Cramming Poultry.

1t is altogether a vitiated taste that Gre
ates a demand for overwhelmed meat.
There is no nutriment in fat, and with the
large consumption of sugar, syrup and
starchy food, that is common among us,
the necessities of the system for carbOna-
ceous food are fully, if not over supplied.
The use of excessively fat food then is a
waste of material, and it probably induces
some of the bilious disorders which are so
common. With regard to poultry these
remarks are especially applicable. The
markets of the cities are filled with fowls
that are lined with fat, useless addition
that is a loss to the consumer, and its pro-
ductiOn has been at the expense OF waste
of food to the feeder. Besides, house
keepers complain of these over fat fowls,
that they are deficient in delicacy of flavor,
and are coarse and greasy, thus losing in
quality as well as in weight. This matter
is in the hands of farmers themselves to
remedy. They alone decide as to what
degree of fatness their fowls shall be
brought, or rather, not knowing exactly
how fat they are, they continue to feed
them much too long for their own profit.
A very thin fowl can be brought into good
condition for the table by three weeks
feeding. Generally fowl from a grain
stubble or a barn-yard at a time when
waste grain is scattered about literally, as
well as at other times, when the house
wife undertakes the feeding of the pOul-
try. is sufficiently fat for the market, with
out extra feed. If poultry is marketed at
the age of two years, and none older than
that kept, the quality Of the flesh will be
all that can be desired, without any cram
ming or extra feed, and the extra fat that
is laid upon an sid fowl is no addition to
its goodness, but rather adds to its bad
qualities. A good judge of poultry looks
to the age of fowl, and passes by the old
birds that have been crammed to fit them
for market.-American AgrieuLturtst.
