Making the Boys Like 1t.

The new year brings out our familiar
old friend in all the glory of new
dress-the newspaper article, we mean,
telling how to make the boys stay on
the farm. When all other themes fail
up to the mark smiling, ready to help
the puzzled scribe out. Probably the
articles have not had as potent an effect
as have the hard times and the conse-
quent army Of unemployed people in the
cities; but the fact undoubtedly is that
the rush of boys from the farms to the
towns has been in a measure checked
during the past four years. In some
localities the tide has even turned, and
young men with independent notions
and sensible views as to what consti-
tutes getting on in the world, are leav-
ing their mental and poorly-paid situa-
tons in cities, and going back TO the
farms. Driving a street-car for dol
lar and a half a day, or being porter
under the name of clerk at ten dol
lars week, or Choking for job
half the time at no-wages-and-board-
yourself-with the wretched conditions
of living which all of this sort of thing
implies-isn't prospect calculated to
win self-respecting and capable young
fellows from the farm.
Our idea is that this state of affairs
ought to be improved by the farmers,
and by those Interested in the prosper
ity of the young, to fix the boys choice
on the farm as a preference, instead of
a necessity. And the shortest statement
of the way to do it, according to our OBJ
servation and knowledge, is to make
them like it. There are as many differ
ent ways to do this as there are boys to
be Influenced; but it may safely be said
that any boy whose tastes, inclinatiOns,
ambitions and abilities lie in the direc-
ton Of farming, can the most surely be
kept at his vocation by rendering his
apprenticeship to it as pleasant and
hopeful as possible.
The wheels of this generation will
not run in the ruts of the last one; too
many farmers forget this. The condi-
tons of successful farming have great
ly changed within fifty years. Markets
and transportation have worked many
notifications. Improved breeds of an
imals, perfected grains and fruits, farm
machinery, and commercial fertilizers,
the classific alton of the different
branches into specialties-all these
have made it necessary for the young
farmer to know good deal more than
sufficed for their fathers. And this
knowledge must come from books,
schools, farm journals, observation and
experiments. The boy therefore should
DO permitted and encouraged to learn
his business, that he may respect it and
succeed In it.

Painting Farm Implements.

suppose that there are many farm
ers who never used paint-brush; and
l can imagine how their old, rusty
wagons, plows, ETC., look, the wood
work badly cracked and going to ruin
rapidly. 1t is of as much importance
to keep farm implements well painted
as it is to paint a house; and every
farmer should have an "outit'' of
painting materials on hand, so as to be
prepared to do any job in that line that
may be necessary. All that is neces-
sary is a two-gallon oil-can, couple of
brushes of different sizes, and the nec-
cssary paint; but that can be bought as
wanted, yet it is better to buy twenty
five pound key of white lead and can
of oil (half boiled and half raw, as
they will keep long time. For
plows, harrows and the running gear
of wagons you need only red lead and
oil; but for other colors you will re-
quire the white lead. If you want a
common black paint, use lamp-black
and oil; but for carriage body get
black coach paint at the wheelwright's s.,
also some varnish to finish with. You
would be surprised to sec the nice work
that you or the "boys'' can do after a
little practice; and when you get in the
way of doing your own painting, your
key of lead won remain on your hands
long. Why, there is money IN paint
actually bank bills, and gold, and sill
yer dollars! For instance, you buy a
new farm wagon, and keep it well
painted, and under cover when not in
use. Now, your neighbor buys one at
the same time, and doesn't paint at all
for ten or fifteen years; and what is the
result? Worn out, decayed wood
work, split and cracked, must be
thrown aside as FUSED up" while
yours is as good almost as uhen mev.
You have found hundred dollars in
your paint; but your neighbor, poor
man! has got, perhaps, to stint his fam
lily in the necessaries of life to pay for a
new wagon.-Cor. Rural Nev Yorker.

Evening BOnnets.

EVENING bonnets are very prettily
trimmed with variegated roses, in very
pale shades, placed in line close to
each other, both on the top Of the bon
net and falling over the sides. They
have no leaves. A novelty in fancy
ornaments consists of three large gilded
bees. A capote with this ornament
may be of white plush, with three os-
trich tips placed near the ornament.
This bandeau is made of loops of white
satin ribbon and the strings are of the
same material. A pretty capOte lately
made is of plum-colored plush with a
soft brown and shirred brim, lined with
pink satin. The brim is raised on the
side and fastened back under a bunch
of roses, without leaves. On the top
are three shaded tips. The double
faced ribbon and satin strings are in
plum and rose color. When double
faced satin ribbon is used the right side
is generally turned toward the face.
Fringes, such as chenille, orange
muguet," jet fringe and flower fringe
are used on diadems and around the
fanchons and barbes of the bonnets.
These are particularly suitable for long
faces. White tulle and crepe lisse
ruchings are still worn under the brims
of capOtes as we'll as velvet satin and
plush bandeaus, but their use depends
solely upon the style of the face and
the dressing of the hair. Some faces
are best suited to fiat brim, while
others have the hair dressed in such a
manner that the brim had best be more
raised to leave room for the puffs and
curls. Capes are in many cases added
to bonnets. They are trimmed with
lace or fringe. Feather borderings are
mostly used for capotes, but only in
very narrow bands. For ordinary walk
ing purposes. bonnets matching the
suits are habituslly worn. 7. Times.

"a word fifty spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver" When the body be-
comes diseased, the mind is thereby necessa
rily Influenced. National wars, State dissen-
sions, neighhorhood broils, and family differ.
ences, are more frequently than otherwise the
result of diseased and disordered constitu.
tions. When the body is suffering, the mind,
acting in sympathy. will become irritatcd and
perplcxed. When the physical system IS in
health, the mind perceivcs things in their true
light, and the disposition assumes a very diff
ferent phase. Nothing more directly tends to
destroy the happy, cheerful disposition of a
woman, and render her pecvi>h, nervous ar.
fretful, than constant endurance OF uterine
disorders. The diseases peculiar to woman
take away the elasticity and buoyancy of
health and reduce her body and mind to a
mere wreck. DR.. Pierce's Favor;tc Prescrip-
ton is real leocemaher in family. Nc
woman suffering from uterine disorders can
afford to lie without this remedy. The Favor
tie Prescription saves unnecessary doctor bills,
prevents divorces, wards off suicides, brings
back buOyant, joyous feelings, restores the
