To keep these idle scamps away.
And easel by her side she placed,
And over it she threw in haste
A hat and cloak:-and there it stood
In bold and threatening attitude.
The rabble at a distance spied
The scare crow standing by her side;
And, thinking twas the town police,
They left Miss A. V. Brown in peace. Be-.

Sometimes, an innocent pretense
Is the best means of self defense,
And If scare crow keeps the peace,
Whta need to summon the police?

ALMA TAMEDA, the distinguished
Dutch artist, thus expresses himself in
regard to female form: 81 do not agree
with you that nature is harmonious and
truthful. Nature seems to me rather to
follow the principle of surprises and
compensatlons. Handsomely shaped
models nearly always have ugly-or If
not ugly, ignoble, commonplace, vul-
gar-faces, such as could not be intro
duced into any composition Of an ele-

and still oftener deformed by

gencies of modern dress.''

A Boy of Sixteen Kills His Mother,

mother at her residence near fuckers

o'clock Tuesday morning. Mrs. Pixlev
lost her husband during the war and she
was left with this son. Hiram. She had
a sister, who q few years ago married
M. j. Bower, and they have lived in
common at the place above named. The
neighbors have witnessed many bloody
nights between the two sisters, the meek
man Bower and this boy Hiram now
and then taking a hand. 1t appears
that the women were engaged in one Of
their spasmodic fights and this bow got
his shot gun and told his mother il She
didn't dry up he would shoot her, and
after few words more he lifted the gun
and shot her through the breast and She
died Instantly. He had threatened to
shoot her many times, and it seems I'M IN.
natural that any sympathy should be
shown him. He has been known as an

The horer, it may be said, is the

TreatmentofGalle Back,

The celebrated veterinary sur
gson, George II Dodd, gives the
following: So soon as an abra-
Bion is discovered on the back Of
horse, the animal should be ex,
cnsed from duty for few days;
the abraded parts dressed daily
with a portion Of the tiucture OF
aloes and myrrh: This simple
treatment viii soon heal the parts,
Should there be no abrasion, but
simple swelling, attended with
heat, pain and tenderness, the
parts should be frequently sponged
with cold water. Occasionally
the skin undergoes the process OF
hardening induration. This Is a
condition of the parts known to
the farriers Of old as "Sitfast;'
and the treatment is as follows:
alrocufe one ounce of iodine and
smear the indurated spot with O
portion Of the same twice day
Some cases OF CALLED back and
shoulders are due TO negligence
and abuse; yet many animals, ow-
Jog to a peculisrity OF constitu'
ition, will "chefe' in those part;
which come in contact with the
collar and saddle: and neither hui
man foresight nor mechanical
meaus can prevent the same.

TO Make Butter Hard

An English butter maker Of
large experience who is now on a
visit to this country for the pur
pose Of looking owe our cheese
and butter diaries, gives US the fol-
lowing information concerning a
method in practice among the
best butter makers Of England
for hardening or rendering butter
firm and solid during the hot
weather. Carbonate Of soda and
alum are used for the purp ,se,
made into a powder. For twenty
pounds of butter, one teaspeonful
of carbonate of soda and one
'teaspoonful Of powdered ALAN are
mingled together at the time of
churnsng and put iuto the cream.
The effect Of this powder is to
make the butter come firm and
solid, and to give it a clean, sweet
favor. 1t does not enter into the
butter, but its action is upon the
cream, and it posses off with but.
Tsrmiik. The ingredients of the
powder should not be mingled to-
gether until required to be used,
or at the time the cream is in tie
.churD ready for churning.

Hints for Poor Sleepers.

Poor sleepers, says the Herald
Of Health, will find it advantsg-
eous often to raise the head of
the bed a foot higher than the
foot and then to sleep on tolera
bly, thick hair pill,w, so as to
bring the head a little higher than
the shoulders. The object OF this
is to make the work of the heart
in throwing blood to the brain har'
der, so it will not throw so much
A level bed, with the head almost
as 10 V as the foot, causes an easy
flow of blood to the brain, and
sometimes wakefulness, when the
vessels cannot contract on it and
keep the brain empty.
Then the bed itself should te
good. A very hard or very soft
bed is not the thing. Hair mat
tresses are often best, but then
these might be improved. Then
the bedding Loud be porous, SC
as to allow free exchange of air
Alright beds are bad. So, too.

and the feet kept warm, and per-
sons with a sensitive skin should
have as light clothing as possible
Heavy clothing sometimes keers

active that they send to the brain
sonory currents that keep this or

Whether sleeping with the head
to the north makes an difference
we do not know. 1t seems to in
s,me cases. and in others not. Il
may be well to try it. Generally
sensitive folks sleep tetttr tc
