Big Farms in England.

Reference to the big farm in Illinois,
10000 acres, 18 in corn, in oats and
fax, and the rest in gass-has recalled q
notice of the London Spectator, from the
Domesday Book Of Scotland, which has
list of those landlords who each own more
than 10000 acres Of land in that country.
The result is that one man alone, in his
own and his wife's right, holds more than
a fifteenth Of the entire area Of the King
dom, and twelve men own nearly a third;
a proportion probably exceeding anything
in Western Europe. No less than LOG
hold more than $4,000 each. The ii
who own the largest amounts of land are
The Duke Of Sutherland, 1,176, ,343 acres;
Duchess Of Sutherland, 149,S79 acres; Sir
]. Matheson, 4O6, ,O7O acres; Mr.. A. Math.

Hurtfal Reading,

A bad book, magazine, or newspaper, is
as dangerous to your child as a vicious
companion, and will as surely corrupt his
morals and lead him away from the paths
of safety. Every parent should set this
thought clearly before his mind, and pom.
der it well. Look to what your children
read, and especially to the kind Of papers
that get into their hands, for there are now
published scores of weekly papers, with at
tractive and sensuous illustrations, that
are as hurtful to young and innocent souls
as poison to healthfal body.
Many Of these papers have attained
large circulations, aud are sowing broad
cast the seeds of vice and crime. Trench
ing on the very borders of indecency, they
corrupt the morals, faint the imagination,
and allure the weak and unguarded from
the paths Of innocence. Tie danger to
young persons from this cause was never
50 great as at this time and every father
and mother should be on guard against
an enemy that is sure to meet their child.
Look TO it then, that your children are
kept free as possible from this taiht.
Never bring into your house paper or
periodical that is not strictly pure. and
watch carefully lest any such ges into the
hands Of your growiug-up boys. 'l

The oure for Gossip.

What is the cure for gossip? Simply,
culture There is great deal Of gossip
that has no malignity init. Good-natured
people talk about their neighbots because,
aud only because, they have nothing else
to talk about. As we write, there comes
to us the picture of family of young
ladies. We have seen them at home, we
have met them in galleries of art, we have
caught glimpses of them going from a
bookstore, or a library, with fresh volume
in their hands. When we meet them,
they are full of what they have seen and
read. They are brimming with questions.
One topic Of conversation is dropped only
to give place to another, in which they are
interested. We have left them, after a
delightful hour, stimulated and refreshed;
and during 9e whole hour not a neighbor's
garment was soiled by so much as touch
They had something to talk about. They
knew something, and wanted to know
more. They could listen as well as they
could talk. To speak freely Of a neigh
boris doings and belongings would have
seemed an impertinence to them, and, of
course, an impropriety. They had no
temptation to gossip, because the doings
Of their neighbors formed subject very
much less interesting than those which
grew out of their knowledge and their
culture. And this tells the whole story.
The confirmed gossip is always either
malicious or ignorant. Gossip is always
personal confession either of malice or
imbecility, and the young should not only
shun it, but by the most thorough culture
relieve themselves from all temptation to
indulge in it. 1t is low, frivolous, and
too often dirty business There are
country neighborhoods in which it RACES
like pest. Churches are split in pieces
by it. Neighbors are made enemies by it
for life. In many persons it degeuerates
into chronic disease, which is practically
incurable. Let the young cure ii while
they may.-Dr. j. G. Holland.

Sudden Attachment.

1t is related of Curran, the famous Irish
orator and wit, that he was, one evening,
sitting in box ut the French opera, be.
tween an Irish noblewoman, whom he had
accompanied there, and very young
French lady. The ladies soon manifested
strong desire to converse, but neither Of
them knew word of the others language.
Curran, of course, volunteered to interpret,
or in his own words, "to be the carrier Of
theis thoughts, and accountable for their
safe delivery" They went at it at once,
with all the ardor and zest of the Irish
and French nature combined but the in
terpreter took the liberty of substituting
his own thoughts for theirs, aud instead Of
remarks upon the dresses and the play, he
introduced SO many fnely-turned compli-
ments that the two ladies' soon became
fascinated with each other. At last their
enthusiasm becoming sufficiently great,
the willy interpreter, in conveying some
very innocent questions from his country
woman, asked the French lady aft she
would favor her with a kiss" Instantly
springing across the orator, she imprinted
a kiss on each cheek of the Irish lady, who
was amazed at her sudden attack, and Of
ten afterward asked Mr.. Currau, q What
in the world could that French girl have
meant by such conduct in such place ?"
He never revealed the secret, and the Irish
lady always thought French girls were
very ardent and sudden in their attach
ments.

Nan in womau's Clothes.


Mrs. Stanton thinks that if the women
do not accomplish 50 much as men, there
Is good reason for it. She is not dressed
to work, but to kill. Men do not appre-
ciate the beauty of woman's attire. She
says;-Take q man, and pin three orfour
large table-cloths about him, fastened back
with elastic and looped up with ribbons
drag all his own hair to the middle Of his
head aud lie Il tight, and hairpin on about

Iron and Steel Production.

The Secretary Of the American Iron
and Steel Association, Mr.. james NJ.
Swank, states the following to be the iron
and steel manufacturing capacity of the
United States. Upon January 1st there
were 713 blast furnaces, with an annual
manufacturing capacity Of 8, ,239 ,230 tons
of pig iron. There were also 332 rolling
mills and 4475 single pudding furnaces
"a double furnace being counted as two
single ones.) The annual capacity Of all
the rolling mills in finished iron was A.
$3.50. tons, aud of all the nil mills
l,940, 300 tons. There were eleven Bes-
semer steel works, with twenty-four Bes-
semer converters and an annual capacity
of 100000 tons Of steel ingots. There
were sixteen open hearth steel works, with
twenty-five furnaces and $4,000 tons ca
pacity; also 80 crucible and other steel
works, the annual capacity for crucible
steel being $4,000 tons, and the total ca
pacity for making merchantable steel Of
all kinds 10s,25O tons. There were 80
Catalan forges, which make blooms direct
from the ore, with 59,4 tons capacity,
and SO other bloomeries, with SO, 200 tons
capacity. - ~

Silk Laoes.

Silk laces were, first made about 1745.
At first this fabric was manufactured from
silk of the natural color brought from Nan
king and'it was hence called blonde. lAf-
ter a time, however, it was prepared from
the purest and most brilliant white silk.
Not every woman can work at the white
lace. Those who have what is locally
termed the haleine grasse (greasy breath)
are obliged to confine themselves to
black" To preserve purity Of color it is
made in the open air in summer, and in
winter in the lofts over cow houses, as the
warmth of the animals enables the work
ers to dispense with fire, which makes
more or less smoke, The most beautiful
blondes were once made at Caen, but COM
petition with the machine made blondes
of Calais and Nottingham has caused the
manufacture Of white blondes to be aban-
doped at this place, and its lace-makers
now confine themselves to making black
lace. &Jii Il
d The manufacture of black silk lace was
first established in the town of Chantilly,
near Paris, and hence, wherever this fabric
is now made, it is called "Chantilly lace"
It is always made Of lustreless silk, called
sgrenadine,D which is commonly mistaken
for thread. As it was only consumed by
the nobility, its unfortunate producers be-
came the victims of the Revolution of
1793, and perished with their patrons on
the seaaold. This put an end to the
manufacture for many years but in 1895
black lace again became fashionable, and
Chantilly was once more prosperous, But
the neaIness Of. Chantilly to Paris has, of
late, increased the price Of labor SO much
that the lace manufacturers have been
driven away. The so-called Chantilly
shawh are now made at Bayeux. The
shavls, dresses, and scarfs that are still
made ut lChahtiIly are mere objects of
luxury Popular Science MJnthly.

idolatry. Now, the American Govern
ment is not founded on any Of the heath

not take ground against any of them, any
more than it does against any creed Of

by this time to understand that the Amer

purely and exclusively political institu-

makes no distinction between any Of the

Protect the Feet and Wrists.

Most people have noticed that a fayorite
article Of winter clothing for children is a
comforter wrapped around the neck. This,
says writer to a medical journal, Is a
great error The feet aad wrists are the
proper members to keep warm. The face
and the throat will harden into healthy
indifference to cold but the muller,
exchanged for an extra pair of thick socks
and knitted gloves, would preserve q boy
or girl really warm and well. Bronchitis
and sore throat have declined fifty per
cent. since the absurd use of high collars
and twice round neckerchieis went out Of
fashion and If the poor would take better
care Of their children's feet half infantile
mortality would disappear. 1t only costs
triAe to put piece of thick felt or cork
into the bottom Of boot or shoe, and the
difference is often considerable between
that and doctors bill, with, perhaps, the
undertaker's beside.

A Pennsylvania has taught a canary
bird to sing "Home, Sweet Home," in
this way:-He placed the canary in a
room where it could not hear the singing of
other birds, suspended its cage from the
ceiling, so that it would see its reflection
In mirror, and beneath the glass placed
a musical box that was regulated to play
no other tune but "Home, Sweet Home.
Hearing no other sound but this, and
believing the music proceeded from the
bird il saw in the mirror, the young canary
soon began to catch the notes, and finally
got 50 that it sings the song perfectly.
