USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

BOYs! stay on the farm. There you
have . plenty to eat and to wear. In
these times that is not certain in other
places. You can't live by picking
pockets, as there is nothing in them,
and that business is about played out.
EVERY dabbler in embroidery thinks
that she can make French knot, but
there are few who know the rapid old
fashioned way of doing it. The silk
should be held down firmly by the left
thumb, at about an inch to the left of
the place where it comes through the
cloth, and then the needle should be
passed under and over the thread three
times, and then through the cloth close
to the point where the silk comes up

No GOOD farmer will neglect to cut
wood the coming winter to be used a
year hence, rs it is poor management
to burn green wood; and it is always
best to have your wood for your fam
ily's use under cover, and so connected
with the house that it can be got at
from the kitchen without going out of
doors. If your wood house is Of ample
size, it will afford you place to do
many little jobs in rainy weather, and
your boys can split the wood under it
and pile it up on wet days.-Prairse

THERE is no sure way that we have
ever found to keep grapes until the
holidays, except in cool place which
is uniformly just above freezing. 1t
must be borne in mind that there are
good and bad keepers among grapes,
as there are among apples and pears.
The Concord. for example, will keep
but short time under any conditions;
Delaware is somewhat better; Diana is
one of the longest keeping; while Ca
tawba and Isabella are excellent in this
respect, tons being preserved every
year.-Ioaca State Register.
CATTLE are seldom exposed to the
open air in the Eastern or Middle States
through the winter; shelter of some
kind is provided, although it is fire.
quently very defective. But in the
great cattle-raising region of the West,
shelter is the exception. If these West
ern cattle feeders would study the cost
of keeping the temperature of the ami
NAL body at 100 deg. through severe
winter, when exposed to the intense
cold, with storms of wind, rain and
snow, they would never again subject
their cattle to such exposure.-Live

CRIBB1NG.-It is easier to tell how to
prevent an animal from forming this
habit than how to cure him after it has
once gained hold. 1t may be caused
by indigestion or idleness, or may be
acquired from other animals kept in
the same stable. Much may be done
toward effecting cure by following
faithfully these rules: When the ami
NAL is not in pasture keep him in a
box-stan where there are no fixtures;
put his hay upon the floor and the oats
or corn in a trough, which must be re-
moved as soon as the feed is eaten.
Work him regularly and feed in the
same manner. Never allow him to be
idle for days at time. Horses fire.
quently fall into bad habits through
idleness.-N. Y. Herald.

Holding Them to the Contract.

TINS recalls an incident which hap
pened in Boston within few years. A
young fellow, fresh as q daisy and full of
enthusiasm for work, was employed by
. then well-known firm in the dry goods
business. The contract was q simple
one. but it scas q contract. On his
part, the youth was to give his services
and do what he was told. On its part
the firm was to pay him 800 for the
first years work and teach him the
business. The money consideration
was Insignificant; the knowledge Of the
business was what the youth was after.
He was put down cellar, kept at open
ing and mailing up boxes, running er-
rands and sweeping the store; In a
word, he was made to do porter's
work. and his employers no doubt
chuckled at the thought that they were
getting for two dollars . week work

French and English Competition.

In 1874, law was passed in France
somewhat like the English Factory acts,
under the provisions of which no chill
dren under twelve years of age can be
employed in mills and workshops.
This law, however, is not very efficient
ly administered, and is, indeed, little
needed by the manufacturers. The
hours of labor in England are fifty-six
and half per week, against seventy-two
in France. The French manufacturers
thus have an advantage of 274 per
cent. without reckoning the benefit they
gain owing to holidays being less nu-
merous in France, and from SUNDAY
work. The wages of the work people
employed in the woollen manufactures
in France are on the average at least
25 per cent. lower than those paid in
the United Kingdom. 1t will thus be
seen that as regards the relative cost
of labor in the two countries, the
French have an advantage of 27A per
cent. in time worked, and rs per cent.
in money paid for wages, or together
52a per cent. But as a larger number
of hands is employed in France than in
England for similar amount of work,
and as it is undeniable that English
wOrk-people rs a rule can produce
more than the French, it is estimated
hat these two advantages on the part
of British labor reduce the gain of the
French manufacturer in time and wages
by one half, or, say, 26 per cent. Ac-
cording to this estimate, labor in France
costs one-fourth less than in England.
The proportion of the cost of labor to
the cost of materials varies considera-
bly, in different articles; but, to show
the effect of the additional cost the
English manufacturer has to bear, it
may be stated that if the total cost of
labor for producing an article of fabric
is one-fourth of the total cost, the
French manufacturer would gain 81
per cent; if One-third of the total cost,
81 per cent; and if one-half of the
whole cost, 124 per cent. The French
manufacturer can, therefore, produce
more cheaply than his English Compel
itor. It is generally admitted that in
many classes of goods the French al
ready excel us, and that the French in
dustry is yearly making more progress
than the English. In France, too,
strikes in the woollen and other indus
tries of this kind are almost unknown.

a sensible fellow, the youth said MOTH

morning of the first anniversary of his

himself that his word was as good as

Are Fat People Healthy9

Why are fat people always complaininga
asks some one who entertains the popular
though erroneous notion that health is synon-
omous with fat. Fat people complain because
they are diseased. Obesity Is an abnormal
condition Of the system, in which the saccha-
rfne and oleaginous elements of the food are
assimilated, to the partial exclusion of the
muscle-foTming and brain-producing elements.
In proof of this, it IL only necessary to assert
the well-known fact that excessively fat peo-
pie are never strong, and seldom distinguished
for mental powers or activity. Besides, they
are the easy prey of acute and epidemic dis
eases, and they are the frequent victims Of
govt, heart disease, and apoplexy. Allane
Anti-Fat is the only known remedy for this
disease. It contains no acid, is absolutely
harmless, and 10 warranted to remedy the most
confirmed case of obesity, or corpulency.

Saving by Handouts.

One handful of hay is not much, nor,
for the matter of that, are twenty hand
fuls; the saving or wasting of so much
would neither make nor break man.
But with twenty head of cattle to feed
twice or thrice a day, the saving of a
handful apiece every time would
amount to something before the pas
lures are green again upon our FROST
bitten hills. Do you ever think of it?
we are not limiting at stinting the cat
tie. But how many of us allow ami
mails to waste q handful each at every
feed, for want of a little attention to
feeding arrangementsp How many
head of stock on our Northern farms
require a handful more of hay at every
feed to keep up the animal heat than
they would require if their stables had
all the cracks stopped that let in the
cold winds of winter?
A handful of manure is but a trifle;
yet the addition of a single handful in
q hill of corn may make the difference
between long, full ears and stinted nub-
bins when the harvest comes. How
many handfuls of manure are going to
waste every day about our yards and
buildings? Could you not save half a
bushel q day by being carefulP And
the liquid manure-is there not enough
lost every day to make a good many
long ears where we shall probably find
only nubbins next fall?
Handouts of hay; handfuls of manure!
these are small matters say you? Yet
upon just such small matters depends
many a mans success or failure in life.
Here is one man that attends to them
carefully, and at the end of twenty or
thirty years he has q competency for
old age; another neglects them as be-
meath his notice and is always behind
hand; he lives and dies short in pocket
and short in comfort. We do not
preach niggardliness; it is by saving
when we may that we prepare our
selves to be liberal when we will. Save
the handfuls. Rural NeM Yorker.

The Singing Mouse and the Canary.

The song to which the little creature
gave utterance again and again in our
full view was IS sweet and varied as
the warbling of any bird. 1t most re-
sembled that of the canary, but the
melody of the nightingale was occa-
sionally introduced. Every note was
as clear and distinct. but withal SO
soft, SO gentle, tender and pianisstmo,
that can only compare it to the voice
of a bird mufiled by being heard through
down pillow. In the room was a ca
nary, whose cage was suspended in one
of the windows. He had settled him.

his wing, but at the sound of "Nico-

leaning alternately to right and left,

intimately acquainted with each other.
and that the former frequently visited
his feathered friend and stayed to
supper. Accordingly. while welooked
on with pleasure, Nicodemus''
climbed up the drawn curtains, en-
tered the birds cage, and partook of

tom of disapprobation or disturbance.
