Thoughts in the Medical Department at
the Centennial.

While IN the medical department at the
centennial exhibition peculiar train Of
thought was awakened as 1 stood surrounded
by the skeletons of those who were once real,
living, human beings, capable Of thought and
Of feeling; whose soul had once been filled
with the joys and sorrows of life; whose
heart had been bathed in the radiant sun
shine Of love for kith and kin, and who now
mOurns the death of one poor human being,
freed by the jailor death from the trials and
perplexitics Of earth. Can it be possible,
all there is left Of one who was once the per-
soniication Of manly strength and beauty, Of
one who once walked this earth as we do and
breathed the same air we breathe, the same
sun shone over them by day, the same moon
and stars by night that now Eliminates our
path, and all earthly now remaining is a
handful OF dry bones As | stood spell.
bound among all there is remaining of the
wonderful animal, man, a cold shudder crept
over me as | thought the flesh would decay
and | too some day wOuld be a GOLD, dry
skeleton. Well has the poet said, "O6,

Che farm aud the Orange.

AT meeting of Independent grange No.
%, at Sheffield, Feb. II, the following sub
ject was discussed Which pays best, sheep
husbaudry or dairying. Bradley Ingalls,
thought the subject broad one and needed
a good deal Of thought; thought it differed
in localities some could make it pay better
to keep cows, while others would make sheep
pay best. He thought as he was situated
cows paid him best.
H. Garfield thought COWS paid him best.
Had not much experience with sheep; made
better butter 10 winter on meal and early cut
hay than he could in the summer feeds his
cows meal about two weeks before they give
milk.
N. l.. Folsom thought cows would keep
a farm up best but thought he could report
better in the fall for he had just bought one
sheep.
S. q. Chesly one year kept ten sheep
which averaged him ten dollars per head (;
thinks for the present profit that sheep pay
the best considering the labor.
D. W. Chesly thinks some make sheep pay
the best he referred to John O'Hara whose
sheep had paid him as high as Is dollars per
head.
Mrs. Coffran thinks that mixed husbandry
pays well thinks it makes great difference
how milk is taken care Of, thought milk ought
not to be disturbed alter it was set.
II. 2. King thinks dairying a. very i'm.
portant subject for us all. Dairying is I'm.
derstood to be profitable business by all,
still you will often hear it repeated that
farming don't pay, but those that thus COM
plain do not attend to their business but will
be seen about the stores and groceries nearly
all the time. With them dairying does not
pay, but IT farmer has any spare time it
will pay him TO be around the barns among
his cows aud sheep so they will not be afraid
OF their keeper. Time spent in that way will
pay; thinks there is as much profit in keep
ing sheep as in the ordinary way of dairyi6g
but should we feed more meal perhaps then
the profit would be in favor Of cows. He
also referred to Mr.. Woods of Pomfret who
had fed meal ten months in a year with good
result. Thinks it better for farmers TO keep
some OF both SO as to hit the market at all
times, for it keeps 4 farmer better supplied
with money aud keeps him out of the credit
system which has ruined many a farmer.
The subject was discussed by others
Some thought it best to feed dry oats before
giving milk. After the discussion the ladi es
read paper which was very good.

HIRED MEN-This is the season to look
out for men to work upon the farm. Wages
will be cheaper this year than heretofore
there are so many out Of employment. But
first rate man at a good price is far cheap
er than poor man ut low price. Where
white men are employed, it is we'll to look
at the character aud habits of the omploye,
especially if the farmer has sons who will be
much in his company. Many sons have been
ruined for life by association on the farm
with low aud debased hired men. Frequent.
y, too, they have to sit at the same table,
and it is Of the highest Importance that men
Of intelligence and good morals be selected.
Such men can be found-men, too, who will
take the same interest in the affairs of the
farm that the proprietor docs. Such q man
is cheap at any reasonable wages.
Every farmer should have a comfortable
room for his farm hands, where they feel at
home, provided with fire, lights, etc., when
needed. If the men have a taste for readin z
they can have books aud papers and improve
their time by improving their minds. When
laboriDg men see that their employers take
an interest in their welfare, they will recip-
rocate by laboring to promote the welfare of
their employers. Rural.

As proof of the rapid stride civilization

3. Don't fail to be in reach Of the erasing

a. If you see gold pen, take it and with
the point beat the DEVILS tattoo on the table.
3. Put your feet upon the stove, or, better
still, put them upon the table. 1t is of great
assistance to person writing, and improves
his penmanship, especially if you gesticulate
considerably while talking.
q. Spit on the floor, as the spittoons are

Z. Gentlemen are required to smoke, es.
pecially during Office hours cigars. pipes

8. Those having no business should re-
main as long as possible, take chair and
lean against the wall; itpreserves both wall

8. Talk loud or whistle when the proprie.
tor is engaged. If this does not have the
desired effect, "sing."
10. Should you find the Office closed. be
sure and inquire at every other office on the
floor where the proprietor is and when he
will return. This is particularly desirable
when there is a card on the door stating
where the occupant can be found. 1t has
tranquilizing effect on the minds Of the
persons catechisod, il they are engaged with
clients.
IL. Persons having no business will call

II. Never offer to pay for services rend-

business merely to accommodate others, not

MARRIAGE ETIQUETTE FOR WIDOWS AND
WIDowERs.-It is contrary to custom to in
vite guests to the marriage of a widow. II
a widower marries young girl, the etiquette
is the same as that Of q first marriage. A
widow must marry in the morning early,
without show, and has only her witnesses and
those of her intended. Her dress must be
plain, Of quiet color; black, however, is not
admissible. On leaving church, the bride
invites to breakfast the witnesses who have
formed the party, but no other guests are in
vitod to this repast. On the fifteenth day
after the marriage, cards are sent bearing
the new address Of the married pair. A
widow never makes wedding calls after re-
marrying. Those who receive the cards do
the visiting. There is month allowed for
the return of cards, and the visits. When
single lady marries, after having passed the
usual age Of marriage, the ceremony should
be simple aud Observation-Disclosures
