Book FARMlNG-BOoks, agricultural
papers. all printed matter, as well as
farmers clubs, conversation Of whaL
others are doing, are Of value TO the
farmer who will select and put into
practice tie information which he
deems suited TO his farm and means.
But the use of these methods of i'm
provemeni presuppoSes some wisdom
in the man himself, some study into
the reasons and causes of things. We
ike to see books about q farmers
home, for they indicate a desire TO
know what others are doing and have
done We like to hear q farmer re
fer to these books III his discussions,
and we enjoy hearing him fortitY bis
own opinions by referring TO the oplnl-
onS of others. Yet when we see a
" book farmer" or that farmer who
follows a single book in his practice,
uncnrlng, 50 long as dlrecllpas are
followed, we expect to see bigoteC.
unsuccessful man, a grumbler and
chronic fauI fnder,and disagreeabIe
man. Books may be used. and they
may be abused. When used, they
bring advantages when abused, tie
advantages ave slow 10 discover them,

BEAUTY ANoyG FEMALE AUTHORS
Very intellectual women are seldom
beautiful. Their features, and Partic
ularly their forheai-. are more OF less
masculine. But there are exceptions
to all rulcs, and Miss Laudon Was al
exception to this one. She was exceed
ingly feminine and pretty. Mrs. Stan
ton, likewise, was an exceedingly
handsome woman; but Miss Anthony
ard Mrs. Livermure are both plain.
Maria and Jane Porter we-e woman
Of nigh brows and irregular features,
as was also Mrs. Sedgewick. Anna
Dickinson has a strong, masculine
face. Kate Field has a good looking,
but by no means a pretty face. Mrs.
Burleigh, on the contrary, Is very fine
looking. Alice and Phoebe Gary
were very plain in features, though
their sweetness of disposition added
greatly TO their personal appearance
MaFgret fuiIer had a splendid head,
but her features were irregular and
she was anything but handsome,
though sometimes IN the glow of con
versation she appeared almost radiant
Charlotte Brunte had wcndrouSly
beautiful dark brown eyes and a per
tectly shaped head. She was small
10 diminutiveneSS, and was rs simple
in Eer manners as a child. Julia w.
Howe Is fine looking woman, wear
ing an aspect of grace and refinement,
and of great force Of character in hel
face and carriage. Olive Logan is
anything hut handsome in person,
though gay and attractive in CONVEX
sation. Laura Hollaway resembles
Charlotte Bronte, both in personal ap,
pearance and in the sad experience Of
her youthful life. Neither Mary Booth
nor Marian Nlrlaad can lay CAIN to
handsome faces, though they are
splendid specimens of culture, while
Mary Clemmer Ames IS Just as
pleasing in features as ner writing,
are graceful and Popular.-N. IL

The FIRST STATUE OF CoLUMBUs IN
AugRIcA.-After W 4Itlng three hun
dred and eight y-four years, Chlstopfe er
Columbus is at last 10 have a monu-
mehtaI statue in his honor erected on
.be soil of the United States. IL was
presented to the nation by Italian resi-.
dents. cost SIS, 600, and is 10 be unTeii-
ell un the Centeuuial grounds at
Philadelphia on the l2th instant, the
anniversary of The landing OF Colnm-
bus. The American people have
grown rich, and spent countless
millions for every sort of fashionable
folly, but have never bethought them
selves Of building a monument to HIM
who made possible their existance as
people. That work, neglected so
ioug. has been left TO be performed,
at last, by private citizens. A b!ogra-
ply OF the great discoYerer had pTevi-
ousiy been written by another private
citizen, Washington Irving, which mp
10 this time was rhe only monumental
work that this Republic has offered
to Columbus. But il was a work
worthy of the subject, and the nations
gratitude is due ils author. It Is
hoped the statue soon to be unveiled,
has been equally worthily wrought.
Last wear a colt al work in bronze OF
Columbus was paid for and erected
By a wealthy banker in tie capital OF
Mexico. Another, in marble, stands
In Genoa, his birthplace ! while stll
another has been reared over his re-
mains in Havana. Two State capitals
and numerous more insignificant
towns in cur nation bear the great
navigator's name bnr this in cnun
try where cities are freely named for
every political adventurer who attains
any degree Of prominence, is at best a
dubious honor.

HosAHYAH.-in tie iIDe OF hosiery
there is a new vent for extravaganza.
1t is now necessary for a lady TO he
careful in separating her stockings
from her neckties as they are enough
alike for n mistake TO be madei in using
the stocking around the throat, though
of course the neckjie could not be
used for a stocking, unless, 20 use a
slang phrase, the lady should put her
foot in it. But stockings are Of the
softest silk texture, and in all shades
and colors. There are blacks ang ed
with gold, r.pks embroidered in gay
coiors, brown, blue, maize and puppies,
and every color to match the dress
worn. The lowest price Is 81, the
highest S25. The sandal slipper Is
worn with these stockings, and the
fashion is revived to show the feet.
Il would be too much to expect
of woman that she could wear such
lovly novelties unknown to those who
STE her. Already the mandate has
gone forth for the curtaiiment OF
the train in walking. There were al
ways many women who protested
against the fashion Of long skirts for
the promenade, but the tyrant fashion
forced them to submit. Well, they
are glad that fancy shoes and stock
ing will cause the skirts to shorten
and thus suit their wishes. Men need
no longer look up TO 4 woman's face
or mead for beauties or attractions he
can fix his eyes npon her feet aud fall
down and worShip-what "a pair OF
embroidered stockings and ten dollar
slippers. All of Crrdre'a 5 good for
tune arose from her glass slipper, and
We are but initiating the old r"paEce

fairy prince asked for nothing more
than to find the girl who could wear
that slipper. lie took it for granted
that she whom the slipper Sued vas
endowed with every charm and good
quality. This should be a sufficient
answer to all those who have been
sneering at number one-and half feet.

.r Little by little the opposing pow.

and We thus get some ides of the scope
of the impending war, provided the
several powers can limit themselves to
the scope at present prescribed. Here
us just where the uncertainty comes in.
England proposes, for example to
seize and hold Constantinople, in trust,
,as she claims, for the signatory powers,
But who authorized her to do this !?

Then Russia may so succeed liz the

who can then say if the war viii be
confined to that limit7 It is barely
possible even yet, that tho war may
be averted, but not at all probable !;
and should it break forth, 1t now
seems entirely probable that England
and Russia will be the real combat
ants Turkey is so completely bank
