laid out beforehand for Just such an
emergency and does not propose to lose
any time, as on such occasions he can per
form some needed joh that can he done
without interfering with the regular work
of the farm on pleasant days. |
The thrifty farmer so husbands his re-
sources, and pays such prompt and strict
attentionto details, constantly seeing that
the little necessary tixings of his farm and
buildings are attended to, that he is en-
abled to keep his work well in hand he
is never overturned, and can find time
for days leisure without being driven
by his business. His fields are smooth
and productive, his fences and buildings
in good repair, and everything about his
premises conveys the impression that the
owner intends to have as far as possible
everything about him in good order

A Centennial Novelty.

MIR. CONWAY says a novelty intended
for the Centennial has been exhibited in
London. IL seems intended to recover for
English invention and enterprise some of
the ground they lost in having been so far
behind America in the use Of street tram.
ways; 1t is q street.car moved by steam in
such a way as 10 conceal all that horses or
human wayfarers may regard as objec.
tionable in steam engines. There is a
patent condenser which cOndenses the
steam to a temperature of 200 degrees, the
steam from the safety-valve is also taken
into the tank and condensed, and the loco
motive is not only noiseless but consumes
its smoke and steam. The engine works
independently Of the tram-car, weighs
little over four tons, and runs six miles
without needing more water The boilers
and machinery are all so enclosed that the
car is not distiDguishable from an ordi-
nary street car, except that it moves with.
out horses. The engine is of twenty horse
power, capable of running twelve miles
an hour, and when going at six miles an
hour may be stopped in the space of four
and a half yards. 1t runs up gradients
With great ease, and on the whole is a very
clever application Of steam. The move.
ment OF the car without noise or smoke is
marvellous enough. 1t was invented by a
man in Leicester.

An OOJect-Lesson In Specie Payments.

Gold and silver-money passed out of
sight in the first years of the War. Even
the small silver change that had continued
in use through the previous eras of
"stump-tail, T" wildcat and yellow
dog paper money disappeared. The peo-
pie were compelled to make change with
pOstage-s stamps, horse-car tickets and va
rious scrip. This sticky stuff was re-
placed with the fractional currency which
has been in circulation since 1852, and
has become as indistinguishable and dis
agreeable as the private currency ii sue
ceeded. A generation has grown up that
has never seen any clean, real money, and
another generation has forgotten what
such money was like. We are now upon
the eve of the reintroduction of silver coin
for small change. The temperance of
this currency and its general use will he
an opportune lesson in primary princi-
pies of currency. For the first time in al
most decade and a half, the people
will handle clean, solid, actual money.
The unclean substitutes for small change
will vanish. The people will have an
object. lesson in specie payments. They
will hnd the new money so far superior
to the old that they will easily be led, like
chile ren in kindergarten, to rest one OBJ
servation upon another, and see that it
would be a good thing TO have all our
money in gold and silver or their repre-
senatives. Experience is the best teach
er. The general restoration of specie
payments will seem more desirable and
practical when people have harmed TO
like the familiar jingle of silver change
in their pockets, hitherto redolcnt with
malodorous paper. Chicago Tribune.

Accounts with Crops.

STRANGE as it may seem, il is still fact
that the great majority Of farmers keep no
accurate accounts with their crops. They
grow corn, and oats, and wheat, year after
year, but are not able to tell the average
yield per acre or the cost price per bushel
Consequently they never know at what
price they can afford to sell and still get a
fair return for their labor and outlay.
They do not know which crop pays the
best, and only by general guesswork can
they tell whether or not they are doing a
paying business. 1t is very easy to see
that merchant who would sell his goods
for anything which he could get, without
regard TO the price which he paid for
them, could not succeed. 1t is plain that
he must not sell goods for The same or less
than they cost Neither should the farmer
sell his grain for just what it cost him,
and in order to know what it cost him he
must keep an account with the growing
crop. But some farmers say it will make
no difference with them, because when
they have a crop ready for market they
must sell it because they need the money
which it will bring; and also that what
ever it cost them they would be obliged to
sell at the market price. 1t is true that
there are some farmers who are unable to
hold their crops fOr remunerativc prices,
but they are very few when COM
pared with the great mass who can
keep them. And even in the case
of the minority it would be ben
eft to them to keep accounts, because if
they did this they could tell which crop
paid them the best. If they knew Just
how much their wheat and oats cost a
bushel, they could tell which would be
the best for them to grow. And in the
majority of cases, if a farmer found that
grain was selling at or below cost, and
there was a prospect (as there certainly
would be) of better times in the near flu
ture, he could hold on, and in time get
fair pay for his crop. Besides, it is always
hest to do business on business principles
In the long run this method will pay a
great deal the best, and it will also give
the constant satisfaction of a definite
knowledge concerning prospects and re-
suks.
So am confident that it will pay the
farmer to keepa correct account with each
and every crop which he cultivates. Let
him make his wheat field DIR. to the cost
Of plowing, use of the land taxes, seed,
guilty alton, harvesting, ETC., and Or. by
the number of bushels of grain and the
amount OF fodder produced. Then he
can very easily tell just how much
bushel his COIN costs and at what price he
can afford to sell it. The same principle
applies to all other crops, and it is the
only method by which the exact cost of
any crop can be ascertained. To keep
such accounts will cost but little, and will
certainly be of great advantage to any
farmer who gives the system fair trial

Evidences of a Good Farmer.

In travelling about the country one need
not have to exercise any great amount of
critical observation TO satisfy himself at a
glance who are the enterprising, prudent,
successful farmers along the route he
travels The evidence of thrift and pru-
dence is to be found in the general ap-
pearance of the farmers residence, his
out buildings and fences, which, of
course, do not need very extended observa-
tion in order to form very quick mental
conclusion as TO his tact and energy.
IL is TOO often the case that in Journey
ing through the agricultural portions of
the country ones observations lead him to
conclude that many farmers are retrograd-
ing, instead of improving, that is, If the
general appearance of their residences
and outbuiidings is any criterion. The
thrifty, go-ahead farmer lakes pride in his
shows that there is profit in
farming and that il pays TO keep every
thing about him in "ship-shape' order.

Removing Llre,s Heaviest Burden.

To remove the burden of disease, the
heaviest that poor humanity is compelled TO
bear, is certainly grand object, a glorious
mission. Assuredly the discOverer of a rem
edy which accomplishes this result is enti-
tied to the grattudeand respect of mankind.
Such a remedy is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters, whose great success is attributable to
the fact that its restorative action upon the
dcbilitated and disordered system is in ac-
cordancc with the principles of common
sense. 1t inyigoratcs the sick, and, as their
strength increases, the burden of disease
grows lighter. 1t reforms those physical ir-
regularities which render weakness chronic,
and thus eradicatcs the evil at its very
source. Liver complaint, malarious feyers,
constipation, urinary troubles, uterine weak
ness, and many other causes Of general de-
bility and i'll health, are completely removed
by the combined tonic and Alternative opera
ton Of the Bitters.

Hats and BOnnets.

THE spring openings, which are now
ended, have brought the most decided
change in the shapes OF bonnets. These
are no longer worn on the back of the
head, and have not the tlaring hrim of the
last two years. The shape resembles the
close capOte worn in Paris during the
winter, the front being raised to admit of
lace trimming, instead of the fail of lace
which in the capote fell on the hair and
gave the close fitting appearance of cap.
The new shape is becoming, sensible and
modest, and is essentially different from
the styles in round hats. Last year bon
net and a round hat were one and the
same. The turban, the English walking
hat and the Derby are the favorite styles
for round hats. The French milinerS de-
sign round hats for the American market
with narrow brims, because OF the general
use of wells in this country. In Europe
the large tiaring rim hat is used at the
seashore, but it can in no wise be encom-
passed by veil.
Flowers are used on bonnets chiefly,
while feathers are restricted to round hats.
Even on these The small wings or heads
and breasts of birds are sparingly used.
Ostrich feathers sometimes completely en-
circle the crown of bonnet, but a full
wreath of fine flowers is the newest form
of trimming. On less dressy bonncts
sprays or punches of large flowers are
used, in combination with silk (basket.
woven or soft twilled silks being pre-
ferred), frosted crepe and gauze. These
almost always harmOniZe with the color
OF the bonnet; cream, ecru and fawn col
or are the shades most in use in straw.
Black strawS, which are also very popu-
lar, are trimmed with light shades of pink
and blue, pale yellows and brilliant scar
lets intermingled. In many cases The
crowns of the straw bonnets are cut en-
tirely away, and soft crowns of silk,
gauze or crepe de chine are substituted;
shirring at the back draws in this
crown, and forms little stiff cape
of the material; these crowns are often
made of gaily- striped gauze scarfs, which
also furnish the face trimmings. Net.
work, which enters largely into all this
years trimming, is also used on hats.
The crown and face trimmings are entire
ly covered with soft Open-meshed nets.
Lace, cream cOlored, as a general thing,
is used on dressy bonnets; valenciennes,
tinted, or of its own creamy whiteness,
forms handsome style of trimming, but
II needs TO be genuine, and therefore is
rare. Long lace streamers are either al
lowed to hang pendent from the back of
the hat, or taken round to the front and
knotted loosely on the breast Tulle or
lace bonnets are so completely covered
with leaves and Srut, or fine flowers, as
to leave very little of the groundwork
visible. A striking example of this was
seen in hat recently imported, in which
leaves and berries covered the entire
crown, and wide blue watered ribbon
formed ends and bows, with chantilly
lace for face trimmings and streamcrs.
Almost all ideas are admissible in trim
ming, if perfect harmony and tasteful
combinations are allied to what is becom-
ing ". Y. EUeHing Post.
