A Word for the Farmers Wife.

The farmer will soon be busy fixing up
snug winter quarters for his live stock, at
least he ought to do so If he has not
already made ample arrangement for their
care and proper comfort. But sometimes
in providing everything comfortable and
convenient for the horses, cattle, hogs,
sheep and poultry he is too apt to neglect
some of the comforts and conveniences of
the farm house. We do not mean that he
neglects to buy flour, for he loves good
bread as we'll as anybody; he does not ne
elect to have a comfortable bed to rest
upon, for his tired bones sink into the
downy feathers and husk mattrass with
as luxurious satisfaction as do the equally
weary bones of the guide wife, the hard
worked boys and girls. and the romping
babes. He may not neglect these things
for they are unquestioned essentials and
they contribute directly to his own per-
sonal comfort and happiness.
The things he is apt to neglect are the
appliances with which the house work is
to be done, and those conveniences by
which it is facilitated and the burdens
lightened. Such, for instance, is good
dry wood. 1t is all very we'll to burn up
the old stumps and the refuse cord wood,
big knots and the debris of the woodland !;
there is profitable place for all that in
the large sheet iron heating stoves, with
broad movable tops, and close fitting
hampers. A heater of this description is
one of the best farmer can put up to
warm the house, and where the waste heat
that usually goes up the chimney is
utilized by one or more drums in the
chambers above, economy and comfort
are both realized. Such stove can be
filed up with chunks, and, regulating
the draft as needs be, fire can be main
tanned all day and all night without much
further attention. That is very well for
heating purposes, but when we come to

Unhappy Result of a Dogs Hunger.

A young German named Joseph Ham
merschmidt, of SO Montrose avenue,
Brooklyn, recently enjoyed an experience
that, in the old country, would have made
him popular hero-probably the subject
of National poem. He is engaged in
bottling liquor for his brothers store, and
1t has been his custom, when a cask of
wine arrives in the cellar, to shut himself
in the apartment and finish his work
without interruption, with only his dog
Tor companion. A few days ago cask
OF valuable wine arrived, and he made ar
rangements to proceed in his usual way.
de left his lunch on a bench, and went
up stairs moment, and, on his return.
found that the hungry dog was eating it.
He was SO mad that he tied the dog nv a
stout cord to one end of the spigot In the
wine-cask, and lifted clue to give him a
beating. The dog jumped, and, as he
id so, pulled out the spigot and scam
pered away. Hammerschmidt saw the
rich wine gush from the hole, and was in
despair. He dropped the club, and ran to
the bunghole, and inserted his finger in
the outlet to stop the flow of the wine.
There was nothing at hand which he
could reach to use as q spigot, and there
the unfortunate fellow remained for seven
long hours, exhausting himself to save
the wine. He hallooed at the top of his
voice, his candle went out, and his situa-
ton was rapidly becoming miserable and
uncomfortable, when a widow woman next
door heard his cries and came to his re-
lease. The story has proper ending.
On the 26th the widow and the German
were married, and that's the way the ex-
perience came to be made publicly. y.

The Way to Rid Hens of Yermin.

Before we were aware of the fact every
hen and all the chickens were shockingly
infested with lice. Wherever the feathers
were separated the lice, In large numbers,
would scamper away like a flock of sheep
when pursued by bloodthirsty ours. We
had provided an abundance of sand for
them to wallow and roll in; but they
seemed too indolent TO employ the means
provided for Kidding their bodies of the
annoying pests. When the fowls were ali
on their roosts, accompanied by helper
we went with barn lamp and quar-,
bottle of lard oil to the hennery, and as
the helper held the fowls one at time we
separated the feathers in different places
all over the body and along the neck and
poured on the skin about teaspoonful of
oil in place, rubbing it about as much
as practicable on the skin and among the
roots of the feathers. Some of the chick
ems were literally alive with lice, hun
dreds of which were so small that they
could scarcely be perceived with the
naked eye. The oil was applied gener.
ously. Many times large spoonful
would run out of the bottle in one place.
The next evening we examined many of
the fowls, all of which were entirely free
from vermin. Those chickens that were
as large as quails appeared more lively in
day or two, and commenced growing
with surprising rapidity. The next day
after the fowls were oiled the henners
was swept out clean, and the sides and
all the :imbers overhead were smeared
with heavy coat of whitewash made OF
freshly Stacked lime. The wash was APP
piled as hot as it could be kept when
away from the fire. Our poultry are now
as free from lice as can he desired. We
have tried many other remedies for ex-
terminating lice, during years past, but
have never before found any SO simple and
at the same time so etticacious as a gen
erous application of lard oil. Sweet Oil
may be employed for this purpose: but ii
is too expensive. Lice cannot live where
they encounter oil or grease Of any sort

Girls in China.

From a letter from Mrs. Julia F. W.
Plumb, in China, to friend in this city
we CLEAN some items relative to the treat
ment of girls in that far-away land. Mrs
Plumb, prior to her marriage, lived in
Des Moines, and has many acquaintance
and friends in this city She is the wife
of a missionary in that country, and is liv-
ing near Foochow The letter says:
Some time ago Nathan and / went out
walking, and man came out of house
with tiny little black-eyed baby in his
arms, about two months old. 1.-TWO
years old'' he called it, for it was born
during the last month of the old year, and
so had lived in two years. Thus the
Chinese count ages. 1t was clean and
bright, and almost pretty, and he begged
us to accept it. They were very poor;
had no clothing or rice for it, and it was
girl. This last was the GROWING misery.
l was sorry there was no founding
asylum in the Mission, as there has been
at one time in its history. I think if it
had been a white baby we would have &C
cepted the gift. As it was, Nathan ex-
horted the man to keep it and not drown
it, as he was suggestively near the river.
He told him how wrong it was to wish to
kill babies because they were females, and
much more which the man seemed to un-
derstand, and promised us he would let
the baby live. 1t is not an unusual thing
to find little girl babies cast out to die.
Some time ago was at East Street
Chapel, attending my woman's meeting.
A strange woman came in, and after the
services were over l entered into CONVEX
sation with her. She seemed to be quite

child? No girls?' She replied, "Oh,
yes; girls in plenty; five or six, l forget

were born" had never heard such an
avowal before, and was shocked. said,
" How could you? Was it not hard to
do!" She said, " Yes, it was hard some
of them were unwilling to die, and one
took hold of my finger and held onto it;
then was frightened greatly" l said,
But how could you drown your own
little babies, which you ought to love and
nourish? Did you not love them" She
answered, They were girls. They must
be clothed and fed, and if they had their
feet bound like mine, to make ladies of
them, they could not work and bring in
money like boys. l have one son. He

Mr.: Lick was one of the most skilled
mechanics id the country, and there are
MANY thin gs In the LICK house which
were constructed by hiffi. In tile dining

which he never had patented. In one
corner OF the chamber recently occupied
by him there stands the chest Of tools used
by him, and which he brought from Chilli
When John Lick, the son of the great
philanthropist, came to this city some
time in the last decade, he entered into
many OF his fathers plans and intended to
remain here. James took the yoing man
to his agents office, E. W. Leonard, and
introduced him as his son. John had
grown up in Pennsylvania with his
mother, and not many persons at that
time knew that Mr.. Lick had a son. The
fact was therefore one Of considerable
amazement to Mr.. Lick's friends. On
one occasion John was commanded by his
father to pick several bushels of quihces
and apples from an orchard that Mr.. Lick
then owned On the outskirts of the city,
but was particularly instructed not to sell
the fruit. John did as directed, and
harvested the ounces and apples. -Four
weeks afterward Mr.. Lick found the fruit
in his store-house completely ruined by
decay. He then excoriated John for not
disposing of it, and fierce quarrel en-
sued. This was one of the petty quarrels
thet finally separated Mr.. Lick and his
son, and sent the latter back to Lebanon in
anger. In his latter years he was pos
sessed Of very querulous and irritable
disposition, and as he used the emphatic
words of the English language very free
ly, his personal attendants positions were
not very easy ones to fill. 1t is stated that
he has employed and discharged as many
as dozen persons in aweek. His female
nurse, Mrs. Messiter, was one who per-
haps better than anybody else knew how
