Care Of Hands.

The farmer, says the Detroit Tribune, is
obliged to use his hands in a very rough
manner sometimes, and at night he be.
comes painfully sensible oft. A g1oved
hand can do but little in most farming
operations; consequently they (the hands,
become hard. rough, dirty, cracked and
calloused. Some farmers are very indif.
ferent about the appearance or condition
of the hands, and they take more pains
with the limbs and feet of their horses.
We find the following directions fol
the care of the hands in the New York
full now during the cool, damp weather Of
spring:
After your days work is done procure
some hot water, just as hot as you car
hold your hand in for moment at time
Get some soap, strong and cleansing, mos
any kind of first-quality bar-soap will do
Soap and soak your hand until the Skin
dirt is out and your hands feel soft and
pliable.. Use coarse Indian meal if thu
callouses require it; then have ready some
pure glycerine, that you can buy Of any
apothecary that you can trust. It will
cost from forty 10 sixty cents per pound
according to location; and mind. JUS
here. don't be put off with any "lotions
for sore hands; don't take any Of thu
:" camphorated glycerine," nor take any
of the trash in bottles, for it is half alcoho
or some foreign substance to cheaper thu
cost, and is injurious to the cuticle. Rut
the pure glycerine into your hands, just a.
much as they will absorb in a quarter Of
an hour. Hold by warm stove, and yor
have accomplished the object. It nevel
fails to give clear, white, smooth hands
equal to those which have none but pro
fessional duties to attend to. After fol
lowing this up for few times, and hav
ing healed the chaps completely, you may
be able to accomplish all that is required
by an application only once week, or, i
may be, even q longer time may elapse
but one essential point must be insisted
upon, viz, be sure to get the pure, un
adulterated glycerine, and be put off with
no other, as was for two years. on TIT
plea that common glycerine smelt badly
and was filthy, which, on the contrary, i!
not at all offensive in its crude state. On.
beautiful result, aside from its healing ant
whitening properties, will be the warmth
which it gives to the hands not experience,
under any other mode. Follow these di
rections and there is no fail.

The Mistake of Captain In the Turk.
uzasf .,e ish Navy. ~

n q
There is even report that the Ottoman
for Odessa nd bombarded it, and that
the Turkish fort had conscientiously an
swered the fire. There is an old anecdote
in circulation here, which is now given
az an absolute fact, and as such implicitly
believed. 1t is 80 funny and apropos that
it will bear repeating. The Sultan ADD
ul-Aziz was very proud of his fleet and
desired to show sample of it to England.
He therefore ordered one of his Captains
to go to England to salute in his name
Queen Victoria. The ship sailed, and
while in the Mediterranean all went we'll
the pilot was still on board. But when
Gibraltar was reached and the pilot about
to take his leave the Captain explained
the bad fix he was in. He felt himself
wholly incapable of making an English
port. Out of this perplexity the pilot
drew him by showing him a steamer
leaving f n England.
Follow that Ship" said he, "she il
going to England"
80 it was done all day and all night
But during the darkness the guide was
lost. At daybreak ship was seen on the
horizon, and the Turk followed it with all
confidence. Four days passed, then six
then eight, then ten.
81 did not think England was SO far
said the discreet Captain. ssa
At length great port was sighted. The
authorities visited the ircn-clad, and
asked the Captain in English what he
desired.
Il come on behalf OF my master to
salute your Sovereign. At the word
Sovereign, the stupefaction of the visitors
was complete.
eMhat Sovereign" asked the chief
man.
"Queen Victoria. Am not in Eng.
landf" yyrs-
At these words all the people of the
country began to laugh.
You are in New York" they cried.
Here is what. had happened. During
the first night they had lost the steamer
which should have guided them, and they
had followed another, believing it to be
the same ship. repeat that this story is

| In such complicated business as farm.
ing, where SO much depends on the exact
knowledge of the farmer himself, It il
necessary that he should be constant in.
| vestigator and experimental It is true
| that man to be successful investigator
wants to know to q certainty what it is

have q sort. of. general idea, and he wants
to demonstrate the facts ON which his gen
eral notion is founded A thoughtful man
catches glimpses of great truths by their
connection with other things which be
deals with every day, and these lead him
on if he is not careless to let them slim
from his sight. Experiments are only in
quiries which are addressed to Nature.
and when one begins an experiment or 4
series of them, he is merely having an
earnest conversation and discussion with
Nature, to clear up the doubts and haze
which envelop great subject. Plato
says. Whosoever asketh knows that for

what transpires around us in our daily
work. WHAT farmer most of all tbipcs
needs are facts, certainly and fully made
plain to i'm, and which he may be able
to use whenever occasion gives him the

There is no excuse for neglect of duty
more common. Or more unsatisfactory to
those hearing ii. than ~ forgot {"
Whether the f0rgetfllness comes from
carclessness, inattention, or weakness of
the power Of memory, the result Is the
same, and the loss or damage there
from is no less than it would be if the
neglect was pfemeditated and intention
al. If boy forgets to shut q gate, stray
cattle can come through and destroy
crops to the same extent as if the mode
of ingress was Intentionally provided for
them by some tramp, whose latent g Gus
sedness' had been made active by the
refusal Of square meal or nights
lodging.
The switchman at railroad station
who forgets to fix HE lever properly and
allows the incoming train to rush ON to
destruction, has not the guilt Of Intention
al murder ON his soul; but the inevitable
law of force works no less destruction to
life and property than If he had done it
with malice prepense. M
To overcome the habit of forgetfulhess,
for it is to q great extent habit, is to a
degree, at least, in the power of every
one. He who is not an idiOthas faculty
of memory, and the strength of any fac
ulty can. by exercise and cultivation, be
increas I'd. Those who do not endeavor to
cultivate it are guilty of culpable neglect,
and should not be allowed to plead for
getfulness in palliation of any omission or
neglect.
We know clergyman whose power of
memory is so great as to seem really won
derful, the result almost entirely of cult
vation In fact, we have heard him say
that when he was young he was SO forget
full 90 to be constantly under cloud in
consequence. One day, when something
more serious than usual had resulted from
this failing. he determined to overcome it,
and from that moment resolved that his
memory should do for him its appointed
work. and forced it into action. He al
lowed himself to make no more men,
orandums or aids to memory, but de-
manded that the faculty should work
for his assistance. The result is he has
but few equals in the country in this re-
spect. fl ya.F.,.
Different from this is a gentleman who
lives on one of the uptown avenues in
New York, and who, for the last ten years,

No one knows the strength of any of his
powers, physical or mental, until it is

daily exercise in lifting weights, gradual
ly increasing them as his muscular power
developed; and other examples of increase
in physical strength, not so striking per-
haps, but sufficiently SO to attract notice,
are common all about US.
The mental powers are subject to the
same laws regulating growth as are the
physical, and are as easily cultivated.

The sole dependence of the Democ-
racy, as to the decision of the Presi-
Dental Electoral Commission, con
sists in their good case. They have
the law and the facts to prove that
TiIden and Hendricks are constitu-
tionally and legally elected by a clear
majority Of the legitimate votes. as
well as by a half a million majority
of the votes of the people. Every day
adds to the evidence in proof of the
Republican leaders plot to continue
themselves in power by what the
French call a coup d'etGt or stroke Of
state. So much confidence have the
Democracy in the right and truth OF
their cause, that they agreed to leave
its decision to a tribunal of their en-
emies. And so little was the conf
dence Of their adversaries in their
cause, that they were factiously OPP
posed to leavingit to anytribunal at
all except a Louisiana or Florida Re
turning Board.
