Sensible Advice.

Olive Logan writes: "Girls, at
tend to your couture. No matter
how simple your dress is, look out
for your capillary adornment. and
all will be well. Avoid, if possible,
all false hair about the face. Cork

tiny lock of your hair shipped off at

rolled up in ring With a haiP pin
at night, will make a pretty little
curley fringe across your forehead
IN the morning, and will never be
noticed, even if the fashion changes
and you wish to brush the short
locks back with the rest. Comb
up the back hair as high as you can
without dragging your arms out OF
their socket; encircle the top OF
your Uranium with smoothly
brushed and neatly plated braid,
and in the vacuum adherence which
this performance creates, stick a
high comb or voluminous bow,
and YOU have couture"

A Discovery About Corn.


A writer ii the Western Rural

neighbor of ours, who has for years
been making experiments with corn,
has dis cvered an important
and valuable theory in replanting
corn, which is quite novel and wor-
thy of publication. We have al
ways thought replanting corn was
Of very little consequence, but this
gentleman says it is Of so much
consequence he replants whether
it is needed or motor rather he
plants two or three weeks after the
crop is planted.a bill every fifteen

weather becomes hot during flli1e
time, the silk and tassels both be

the silk revives and reDews It's
growth, but the tassels do not re

the new silk is unable to I'll the Of

pollen from the replanted corn is
then ready TO supply the silk, ant

A Cure for Colds in tie Head
ILondon SPECTATOR


It would seem as if the cure for
those worst OF small nuisancos,
colds in the head, which d Fer
rier. of Kings college. suggested IN
the Lancet, might prove to be a rem
ed5 of very great value. It is a
snuf-a white powder-composed
of the following ingredients: Hydro
chlorate OF morphia. two erains;
acacia powder, two drachms; trispi
trate Of bismuth, six drachms-the
whole making up a quantity of
powder Of which from one quareer
to one half may be safely taken, If
necessary, in the course OF. twenty
-four hours. Or. Ferrier says that
with this snuff he has twice cured
himself of very violent colds ouce,
indeed, by taking trisnitrate of bis
muth alone, which is a very power
ful remedy for catarrh of the mu-
ems membrane, and is the most i'm
portant ingredient in this snuff
Or. Ferrier mentions two other per
sons who were cured Of violent
colds by She same smut, and &c
these instances we may add that the

violent cold coming on, with the

Good Home.

Talmage says: A good home is
deathless in It's influences. Parents
may be gone. The old homestead
may be sold end have passed out of
the possession OF the family. The
meadow brook that ran in front of
the house may have changed its
course or have dried up. The long
line of old-fashioned sun-fowers
and the hedges Of wild rose may
have been graded, and in place
thereof are now the beauties of
modern gardening. The old pop
lar tree may have cast down its
crown of verdure and may have fall
len. You say you would like to go
back a little while and see that home
and you go. and o, how changed it
isl Yet that place will never lose
its charm over your soul. The first
earthly home will thrill through
your everlasting career. The dew
drops that you dashed from the
chickweed as you drove the COWS
afeld 80 years ago; the fire-flies
that flashed in your fathers home
on summer nights when the even
ings were too short for a caudle;;
the tinged pebbles that you gather
ed in your apron on the margin of
the brooks; the berries that you
strung into a necklace, and the dali
sizes that you plucked for your hair
all have gone into your senti-
ments and tastes, and you will new
er get over them. The trundle bed
where you slept; the chair where
you sat; the blue edged dish out of
which you ate; your sisters jump
ing-rope; your brothers ball; your
kite; your fathers frown-they are
all part of the fiber of your immor
tai nature.

About a Woman's Foot.


The foot is the base, the support
of the body, and it should neither
be too small to support it firmly,
nor, for beauty's sake, seem to be
so. TIA woman were to weigh 200
pounds at forty, her foot would not
be appreciably longer than it was
when she weighed only some hun-
bred or so at fourteen. The most
beautiful foot known is that Of the
Venus di Medici, and that is neither
remarkably short nor remarkably
narrow. Most women would look
upon it as rather large. Indeed the
Venus could not wear ''ones, nor
indeed, although she is rather a
small woman, ''twos." But so much
the better for her. As to her foot.
it is a thing to be looked at daily
with delight and admiration. A
perfectly beautiful woman's foot
should be in length a little less than
-One- seventh of her height 1t should
be arched on top 50 that the line is
one half of Cupid's bow, and under
meath so that if it is wet and set up
on the floor it will leave in the mid
die only a slender watermark. 1t
should be broadcast across the ball,
and the rosy toes, of which the sec
ond should be the longest, should
spread fat upon the ground at every
step. The heel, which should also
be rosy, should also descend almost
in straigI line from behind the
ankle, and should be delicately
rounded. 1t should be as white as
ivory, and marked upon the soft and
cushion-like instep with faint indi-
cations OF blue veins. 1t is remark
able that there seems to be some
very fascinating ideas connected
with woman's foot, and particular
ly with its length, for to ''know the
length OF woman's foot has long

The NJ oon and &c weather.


The notion that the moon exerts
an influence ON the weather s Sc
deeply rooted that, Notwithstanding
all the attacks that have been made
against itsince Iueteorology has been
seriously studied, it continues to
retain its hol upon as. And yet
never was a popular superstition
more utterly without a basis than
this one. If the moon really did
possess any power over the weather,
that power could only be exercised
in one of three ways-by reflection
of the suns rays, by attraction, or
by emanahon. No other form of
action is conceivable. Now as the
brightest light of a fall moon is new
er equal in intensity or quality to
that which is reflected towards US
by a white cloud on a Summer day,
it can scarcely be pretended that
weather is affected by such cause.
That the moon does not exert at
taaction on us is manifest-we see
its working in the tides: but though
it can move water, it ismost
unlikely it can do the same to
air, for the specific gravity of the
atmosphere is so small that there is
nothing to be attracted. Laplace
calculated, indeed, that the joint at
traction of the sun and moon to
gether coutd not stir the atmosphere
at a quicker rate than five miles 8
day. AS for lunar carnations, not
a sign of them has ever been dis
covered. The idea of az influence
produced by the phases of the moon
is therefore based on no recognlz-
able cause whatever. Furthermore
it is now distinctly shown that nc
variations at all really occur il
weather at the moment of the chan
ges of quarter, any more than al
at other ordinary times. Since
the establishment of meteorological
stations all over the earth, it has
been proved by millions of observa
tions that there is no simultane
sness whatever between the sup
| posed cause and effect The Who'll,
story is a fancy and a superstition
which has been handed down to u
uncontradicted, and which we hav,
as true because our forefathers be
lieved it. The moon exercises NJ
more influence on weather than her
rings do on the government 0

Time fer SIatri1nor,y.


Among the ancient Germans,
than whom a finer race never exist
ed. it was death for any woman to
marry before she was twenty years
old. IN this country very few ladies
are fit, either physically or mentally
to become mothers, before they
reach the age of twenty twenty
two, or two years Older. The I'M
sound condition Of the parents is
usually transmitted, with increased
intensity, to the offspring. BY the
laws of Lycurgus, the most special
attention was paid to the physical
education ofwome-, and no delicate
or sickly women were on any ac-
count allowed to marry
DR.. Johnson, in his work on the
Economy of Health" says that
matrimony should not be contracted
before the first year of the fourth
septennial on the part of the lady,
nor before the last year of the same
in the case of the gentleman; in
other words, the female should be
at least twenty-one years OF age and
the male twenty eight years.

Heavy Shipments Of Lambs to
Eastern Points.

Nashville is forwarding spring
lambs to the Eastern cities on an ex-
tensive scale. Fourteen hundred
were shipped Wednesday and 200
yesterday or the latter number
$50 were brought here In one drove.
Today's shipments will probably
reach from LOCO to 1000. Adam
Coe has already contracted to send
$4,000 lambs East between this and
June 10. Emery & Woodard shipped
ten car loads from Gallatin yester-
day. Altogether 5000 have been
sent out of Davidson and Sumner
counties this week. The total ship
ment of the week ending tomor-
row will foot up about 9,O00
During last season when ship
ments' of lambs were made for the
first time only 10000 were forward
ed. The farmers, experimenting
the ready sale which they met, de-
termined TO Increase the number
this season. The result has been
that they have more than doubled
the number for market, and are re
ceiying very satisfactory prices
The number that will be shipped
from Davidson and Sumner counties
alone will probably be from $4,000
to 10000. These seem to be rather
extragant figures, but they will be
verified within the next four weeks

Celery for the Nerves.

a writer who is familiar with the
use of celery says that he has known
several men and women, who, from
various causes, had become SO al
fected by nervousness that when
they stretched out their hands they
shook like aspen leaves on windy
days. and by a moderate daily use
of the blanched foOtstalks of celery
as a salad they became as strong
and steady in limb as other people.
He has known people cured of the
palpitation Of the heart by the use
of celery. Everybody engaged in
labor weakening to the nerves
should use celery daily in It's sea
son, and onions in its stead when
not in season.

he has found that, after having had
opportunities of treating at least one
hundred cases of. men bitten by
rabid dogs with the Xanthium spino-
sam, he has never in any one of
these cases failed to ward off hydro

been bitten by a hydrophobic wolf.
Six of them entered his wards in
the hospital of Olskanka, Govern
ment of Podolia, district of Balta.
They were treated with infusion of
the leaves Of xanthium, and all re-
covered. The six others, who were
treated by the actual cautery and
the dialy use of Genista tinctoria and
other drugs, died with the hydro
phobia in the course of twelve to
sixty days. He recounts many
other facts not less striking. For
an adult the dose is sixty cent?
grammes of the dry powder, repeat
ed three times a day, and continued
during six weeks. Children under
twelve take half that quantity. TIE
