In view of the fact that from its SUI
periority, American leather, especially
sole leather, is finding its way into
Germany, and looking to enlargement
of the market, which, with proper en-
terprise on the part of our manufac-
turers, might be extensive and prolita-
BILE, the United States consul at Berlin
proposes the holding of national ex-
hibition for leather and its manufac-
lures. 1t is thought that such step
would be of great benefit to American
manufacturers of leather, and should
the proposition be adopted the exhib-
ition would occur at Berlin early in the
Fall. -- -..-.... -.-...
Brain work, and that of the clearest
kind, comes into profitable play quite
as well on the farm as anywhere else.
Look ahead, get just view of the po-
sition; have plowing, sowing, har-
vesting, and selling all done at the
proper time. Never hurry, but always
drive work ahead. Know in the even
ing what you intend to do next day.
Have your rainy day and your clear
day occupation designed before hand.
Always bring into requisition the full
means for comprising the desired ends.
In short, study and understand your

thrive at it -...
Munster is the great butter-produc-
ing province of Ireland, Cork being the
seat and centre of the trade, especially
the foreign, which, from many causes,
it entirely monopolizes. Waterford is
great butter-shipping port, while
Limerick and Belfast also supply con-
siderable and increasing quantities for
the English market. The butter of the
three last named towns is better adapt
ed than that of Cork for immediate
consumption from its lighter cure, less
salt being used in its preparation;
whereas the Cork butter, being more
heavily salted, can be preserved much
longer than the others
Recently, when church steeple was
in the course of erection in a Scotch
town, the Provost had conversation
with the architect, and pointed out the
danger which he supposed might arise
from the action of the wind upon the
weathercock, the great size OF which
surprised him when he saw it before it
was put up. He thought 1t would be
apt to disturb the stones in the pinnacle
OF the steepIe. "Oh, there ism dam
gerl" said the architect. "You see the
weathercock turns round with the wind,
and never presents any great surface to
it. There is nothing but the cardinal
points" "Ah, well, said the provost.
sand couldna ye maxi the cardinal
points turn round toof"
Rose Eytlnge employed fashionable |
San Francisco dressmaker to create |
her costumes for Antony and Cleopa-
tra." The artistic in silks, satins and
laces being little at sea, called to in
spect Picou's great painting at a well |
known gallery, thinking it might afford
suggestions. After brief inspection
she came hurrying from the place, re-
marking as she passed out that the
matter might more properly be referred
to jeweler. The costume of Cleopa-
ira, it will be remembered, consisted
merely of a necklace, armlets and ank-
lets, making it more costly, though
scarcely less primitive. than the drap-
cries of Eden. Other models were
afterward chosen. !
Butter-making, like any other farm
work, has too long been considered
something that one person can do as
well as another; business that one can
take up and follow successfully without
tirst learning the trade; than which, a
great mistake is seldom made. With
