A sHIINTY MATCH

One Of the episodes Of the long feud be-
tween, the Olan Gregor and the Colquhouns
Of Luss--a quarrel that ended in the pro-
scription Of the MacGresors in 1603-is
connected with match of shinty. ' Two
sub-sections Of the Clan Alpine, who had
some cause Of disagreement, had settled
the vexed question, and, to celebrate the
renewal of perfect friendliness, the clans
men of both families agreed to meet and
spend some time in merry-making. One
OF the chief events was to be a shinty
match between the men of each family.
That their visitors and kinsmen might be
royally entertained, the hosts organized a
foray into the Colquhouns' country by
Loeb Lomond side, and carried OF many
head of fat cattle. Next day, in level
glen among the hills, the MacGregors,
men, women, and children, were assem-
bled, the men armed for the time only with
the sturdy clubs to be used in their game.
The ball was thrown up, stick ratified, all
the shouts and cheers of the game were
heard, when suddenly, high above the noise
of the players, rose shrek of the women,
as from all sides of the glen advanced the
hated colquhouns. The clansmen, though
surprised and unarmed, at once formed up,
back to back, and with their clubs pre-
pared to meet the swords Of the fos' but
tough ash and cold steel had hardly met
when, with screams Of fury, naked dirk
n each right hand and a bundle of clay
mores under each left arm, the women OF
the clan cut through the Colquhouns, and
brought to their husbands the broad
swords that soon swept the mon of Luss
back again to Looh Lomondl slde'-6s9-

THE RESPONSIVE CHORD.

IN the early spring Of 1863, when tho
Confederate and Federal armies were con-
fronting each other on the opposite hills of
Stafford and Spottylvania, two bands
Glanced one evening at the same hour to
begin to discourse sweet music on either
bank Of the river. A large crowd of the
soldiers of both armies gathered to listen
% the music, the friendly pickets not in
terfering, and soon the bands began to
answer each other. First the band on the
portheru bank would play, "Star Spangled
Banner" Or Hail Columbia" or some
pther national air, and at its conclusion
fhe boys in blue" would cheer most lusti-
". And then the band on the southern
bank would respond with Dixie or Bon
pie Blue Flag or some other southern
melody, and the boys in gray would at
Fest their appreciation with an old Con.
&edsrate yell. But presently one Of the
bands struck up, in sweet and plaintive
4otes which were waited across the beauti-
|ul Rappahannock, were caught up at once
Py the other band and swelled into grand
3nthem which touched every heart, Home,
weet Home.' At the conclusion of this
iece there went up simultaneous shout
rom both sides of the river-cheer followed
beer, and those hills, which SO recently
esounded with hostile guns, echoed and
e-echoed the glad acclaim. A chord had
een struck responsive to which the hearts
enemies-enemies then cold beat in
bison; and, on both sides of the river,

A GAY TOILET.

Savages are particularly fond of bright
colors and gay ornaments, as you all doubt
less know. The Felatah ladies in Central
Africa spend several hours a day over their
toilet. In fact they begin over night by
carefully wrapping their fingers and toes
in henna leaves, SO that by morning they
are a beautiful purple. The teeth are
stained alternately blue, yellow and purple,
one here and there being left of its natural
color as contrast. About the eyes they
are very particular. They pencil them
with sulphuret of antimony. The hair is
colored carefully with indigo. Studs and
other jewelry are worn in great profusion'
Not content with hanging things around
their necks, arms, ankles, and, in fact,
wherever nature has enabled them to do so,
sayages also cut holes in themselves for
the purpose. The Esquimaux, from Mac
kenzie River, westward, make two OPEN
ings in their cheeks, one each side, which
they gradually enlarge, and in which they
wear an ornament of stone, resembling in
form large stud, and which may there
fore be called a cheek stud. This gro
tesoue ornament is not confined to women;
in some of the lowest races the men keep
all the ornamentation to themselves.

An ~exchange,in showing that the farm
err who is not a good salesman knows
| but half his business. says: 1t is one
thing to grow good crops, but it is quite
another thing to convert those crops in
| to money or to exchange them for arti
cles which are necessities on the farm
| Some farmers seem to have a good deaI
of skill in doing the former, who are
very unsuccessful when they attempt
the latter. Men who have a natural
faculty for trading generally get along
we'll, while those who have no taste fol
it, not only dislike it, but have no luck
Experience will prove a great help here
as elsewhere. The young farmer es'
pecially should try to find IA good mar
| ket for his crops. IF he does, not know
how to sell them he should learn, fol
his success in farming will depend very
much upon whether his products are sold
| for the highest or lowest market rates
The quality of the goods will have
much to do with the price and with the
ease with which they can be sold; but
skill always comes into play. and while
it may increase the price which super.
ior articles will command, it will be OF
special value IN working off the poor
and medium grades. First rate pro
ducts will generally sell easily, and the
farmer should obtain them as far as
possible; but the mass Of farm goods

to furnish it. The buildings and apara-
tus are usually comparatively inexpen-
sive, in some cases especially so; yet in
no region in the West has there been
more uniform prosperity or a better av-
erage quality of cheese made. Ofcourse
the factory building should be we'll con-
structed and conveniently arranged; but
it can be all this without being twice as
large as there is any reason for, or with
out having hundreds, or possibly, one or
two thousands of dollars expended in
providing things not absolutely neces-
sary.
One common fault with western fac
tories is, that they are operated only
during a very short season. As a rule,
six months would seem the very short
est season, and two more would be bet
ter. 1t it be purposed to establish a
new factory III any neighborhood this
spring, no time should be lost in making
the needed arrangements.
While success has attended a contrary
practice, | believe it decidedly better
that either butter or cheese should be
exclusively manufactured-certainly
that both be not made at the same time.
If a factory be established in a sec
ton in which cheese making has not at
tracted much attention in the past, my
observation is that better prices and
larger profits can be secured by supply
ing home or neighboring markets than
by shipping in competition with all 9th
er factories. TO supply local markets
makes something of a retail trade nee
essary in many cases, but better prices
can very usually be obtained in this
way.-T. H. NJ. IN National Lire-,StocA

various Cultivators, their working qualities, their construction
and workmanship, acknowledged the leading Sulky Cultivator
Of the day, and it stands unrivaled and without a peer in the
Cultvator catalogue. 1t possesses one advantage claimed by
no other-its stalk cutter attachment. Few farmers really
know the value of a stalk cutter those who do know are unwill.
ing to do without one. We have heard but one opinion about
a stalk cutter, by men who have used them, and that is, IT
PAYS TO Cur STALKS.
The Gorham stalk cutie can be readily attached to any
Gorham Cultvator now in use. There are fifty farmers in this
County, who, AS HARD AS TIMES ARE. if they knew their value.
would order a stalk cutter attachment for their cultivators at

AGRICULTURAL.


Read the eight reasons why you should (f you want a
Planter) buy the CLIMAX at the Wigwam.
l. Because they are highly recommended by all farmers
who have used them for the last 4 to 6 years, to whom we re-
fer you with pleasure.
2. Because they have the rotary drop, considered by all
the surest and therefore the best drop in use.
3. Because the heel of the runner being covered with
wire, the driver can see the corn drop from the heel into the
hill, and at the same time see the corn drop from the box into
the heel ready for the next hill.
4. Because it is easily handled, the leverage being great.
5. Because the driver can throw his whole weight upon
the runners at pleasure, forcing them into the hardest ground
or sod.
6. Because they are very durable, and with proper care
will last a lifetime, nearly.
Z. Because they are light draft and can be worked with
a check rover if desired.
8. Because they can be bought for the astonishing low
price Of $4,000 cash and freight, at the Wigwam, if it ruins
the Manufacturers.
