rustic nature often please most. One or
two common English honeysuckles, a
woodbine or a clematis, planted near a
doorway and trained over an arch, with
few pots of bright flowers underneath,
Will give a pleasing face to the most
humble cottage. Now, we believe that
a home on the farm is capable of being
made not only endurable but attractive
to the young and it is to the interest of
all parties that this thing be done, for
our children are growing up, and will
soon be beyond our influence. Then
how much more pleasant will their mem
ores of home be if we make our homes
and surroundings more beautiful!
There is an air of rustic sweetness
even in those small wire vases filled with
fresh, green moss and placed about the
grounds; these are cheap and simple
ornaments, besides many other devices
that will suggest themselves to persons
OF taste. But some will say that these
are little things We know that these
are little things, and that the world is
made up of little things; but they are
mighty in their influence upon the house
hold, and no family can well afford to do
without them.-COr. Germantown T'ele-

American SnObs Abroad.

THE Americans would be glad to see
the days of the Second Empire return,
when the gay court was open to them,
and the leading millinery ruled it. Cos
tunes are very handsome now, and cost
enough, am sure; but the show and the
glitter are not the same as then, and,
while the finest taste is seen in certain
places, in others there is plentiful lack
Of it. 1t seems rather funny, however,
to hear Nine. pAmericaine, with nee en-
TAR and such a crushing manner, object
to the manner in which the bourgeoisie
are pushing themselves into society.
Messieurs Burlanger and Cordonnier are
not at all to her liking, although the fort
unc she inherits may have been made in
that rcdolent portion of New York
known as the Swamp. There is no one
who hates the smell of leather as your
true republican, especially when he has
settled in Paris. He likes titles and or
ders, and his genealogical tree invariably
goes back to at least William the Con
queror's time, albeit, at home, his grand
father did not even know where he was
born. However, we all have our weak
nesses, and they develop differently I'M

Certain people are born with aspirations,
and they cannot help it; and | think

Summer Vermin.

Fowls are subject to the attacks Of
two kinds of vermin, which in summer
are worse than at any other season. The
more common is q louise; the other is a
mite, which has the appearance of a mi
mute spider. The louise lives on the body
and feathers of the fowls, while the mite
cOnceals itself in the cracks and crevices
of the hen-house, coming out at night
and preying upon the fowls and then re-
turning to its hiding place The louise
may be got rid of generally by providing
the fowls with dry ashes, sand and dust
for this purpose, adding to them some
-four Of sulphur. Place the mixture
where it can be easily used, and the
fowls will soon free themselves from ver-
min. The mite is usually destroyed by
applying good coat of whitewash to the
poultry house, but the surest way is to
fumigate the house thoroughly. 1t IS
necessary to stop all the openings Of the
house as tight as possible. Take an old
pan or iron pot and place some live Goals
in it; then take tobacco (cigar refuse
will answer and lay on the Goals as top
layer, after which put on a sufficient
quantity of rolled birthstone, broken up.
Have everything in readiness before you
begin. Shut the door up tight before
you fumigate, and the sulphur fumes
will do their work etfectually.

Child Nhipping.

The children of poverty! Ny heart
bleeds when l think of them; the chill
dren simply covered by rag; the chill
dren of famine and starvation; the chill
dren of drunkenness and the children of
crime, t1otsam and jetsam upon the wild,
rude sea of life; the children in alleys;
the children that crouch in corners when
they hear the unsteady step of a drunken
brute of a father; the children, little ba-
bies, with drinking mothers; the children,
too, of the rich, that have no liberty -
these little children that are crushed,
that are trampled upon, that are fright
ened. l pity them all from the bottom
of my heart. What right have you to
tyrannize over child? have very lit
tie respect for a man that cannot govern
child without brute force. Think of
whipping children! Why, they say that
children tell lies. Yes, cowardice is
the mother of lies. Tyranny is the father
of lies. Suppose a man who is as much
larger than you as you are larger than
tive-y ear-old child should come at you
with a pole in his hand: "Who broke
tina, plate?" You would tremble, your
knees would knock together, and you
would swear you never saw the plate, or
that it was cracked when you got it.
Think of a member of the Board of
Exchange whipping one of his children
for prevaricating. Think of lawyer
beating his own flesh and blood because
he evaded the truth. Think of dealer
in stocks Furnishing his child for setting
atioat false reports. What an incon-
sistency! Think of it! Ii you should
hereafter whip your child, wish YOU
could have a photograph taken when
doing so, with your eyebrows corrugated
with anger, your cheeks red with wrath,
and the little child shrinking, trembling,
ctouching and begging! If this child
should happen to die, wouldn it be
sweet in the autumn, when the maple
leaves are turning to gold, and when the
scarlet vines run like sad regret out of
the earth-wouldn't it be delightful to
90 and sit on the mound that covered the
flesh you had beaten, and look at the
photograph of yourself in the act of
whipping that child?
Now, think of it-think of It.; and, if
all say tonight will save one blow from
the tender flesh of infancy, am more
than paid.
have known men to drive their own
children from their doors, and then get
down on their knees and ask God
to watch over them. Another thing:
There is nothing in this world like being
honest with these children. Do not pre-
tend you are perfection; you are not;
and if one Of them happens to tell
story, do not let on as if the whole world
was going to burst. Tell them honestly

Too many of our farmers seem to
think, if we are to judge by their prac
tice, that the only object attained by
working corn is that of keeping the
weeds in subsection. 1t is true that this
is an important object, and is not to be
lost sight Of, but there are Others of al
most as much importance. Constant
stirring of the surface will prevent, to a
great extent, the bad effects of dry
weather, and in a dry season it will pay

How Health Is Affected by Shade.

As hygienic science advances the con-
viction grows yearly stronger that the
function of physicians will, in the en-
lightened future, be preventive rather
curative. There is no doubt but that
many of the ailments which cut short
the lives of this generation, or make
them wrecked, spring from abuses which
a broader knowledge Will before long
remove. Recently. the temporary excite
ment produced by the marvellous re
ports of the healing effects of blue glass
has directed special attention to the
hygienic influence of an abundance Of
Gods free sunshine. In this connection
