Where farmers keep hired men, and
stormy days abound, they are freque ntly
at loss to know how to put them to
work probably. 1t is a good plan to
have slate in the tool house or barn or
workshop, and to note down during
pleasant weather what work can be done
in rainy weather. There are scores of
little jobs which suggest themselves
which ought to be done, and eau be done
as well in rainy weather as in fair wealth
err. Such slate would have upon it
something like the following: "Clean
out the cellar; oil the harness, mend har-
ness grease all the wagons; repair the
horse stalls; file the saws; grind the
tools; sort the apples, make kindling
wood repair the mplements; shell corn !"
hundred other like jobs could be sug-
gested Have it understood that when
Il rainy day comes, whether you are at
home or not, the slate Is 10 be referred
to and the work done as there suggested.
Groaning and crying have found a
philosophic advocate in French physi-
clan, who maintains they are highly ben
efcal, especially in surgical operations
He contends that there are means by which
nature alays anguish, and that patients
who indulge IN them recover from acct
dents and operations more readily than
those who dsdain to give way to their
feelings In this fashion. people are at
all unhappy, therefore, let them seek com.
fort by retiring to a secluded spot and
there INDUCING in consola,ory boo'hoo.
The crying of children. if Systematically
repressed, may result in St Nitns' dance,
epileptic fits, or some other diseases of
the nervous system, and should, there
fore, not be much discouraged What is
natural is nearly always beneficial, espec-
tally in the ease of the little ones.
The vital statistics of New York city
show that the Germans are the most
healthy class in the community. The
rate OF mortality among them Is nearly
80 per cent below the general average,
while their increase by births is larger
than that of any other race.
Little girls believe in a man in the
moon-young ladies' believe in man in

A boy who was disappointed the other
day in making a sale of tinware to a
woman on Park street, Detroit, muttered
something which excited her indigna-
ton, and she gave him great big piece
of her mind. In 'jawing back he said /;
Your husband ought to be arrested
for working on Sunday ~
"Working on Sunday-come here, bubl
Now, bub, ifyou'll prove that my hus-
band ever worked on Sunday, or any
other day in the week, I'll give you a

Advantages of Crying.

A French physician is out in long
dissertation on the advantages OF groau.
ing aud crying IN general, and espec-
ialy during surgical operations. He con-
tends that grooming AMI crying are two
grand operations by which nature allnys
anguish; that those patients who give
way to their natural feelings more speed
lily recover from accidents and opera
tiors than those who suppose it nu-
worthy man to betray such symptoms
Of cowardice as either a groan or cry.
He tells of man who reduced his
pulse from one hundred and twenty
six to sixty in the course of atew hours
by giving full vent to his emotions. II
people are at all unhappy about any
thing let them 60 into their rooms and
comfort themselves with loud boo-hoo
and they will feel a HUNDRED per cent
better atterward.
In accordance with the above, the
crying of children should not be too
greatly discouraged. If it Is system
aticaly repressed the result may be st.
Vi;us' dance, epilepiic fits. or some
other disease Of the nervous system.
What Is natural is nearly alwaysuse-
full. and nothing can be more natural
than the crying Of children when any
thing occurs to give them either phys
zeal or mental pain.

Good ADVICE

Raise hogs and.make your own meat.
Keep plenty Of COWS and make your
own milk and butter.
Raise corn for food instead of buying.
DO not raise so much cotton, if you
wish to avoid the misfortune of spend
ing your last moments in the poor house,
Raise your head high, and be not
ashamed of honest work; better to have
the wrinkled and brown hands of far
mer than the white, jeweled fingers of
the thief.
Raise your boys for something more
useful than drinking whisky and play.
ing cards. Give them an education
first. then polish them up with trade.
They will know how to make their own
living, and will not be burdens to their
fellow men.
Teach your daughters that woman
in calico is just as good as woman in
silk, and that a pure, noble, sensible
woman, no matter what her station in
life, is universally respected and ad-
mired.
Farmers who raise the most stock
are most prosperous, provided the ami
mails kept are of good blood and worth
the trouble of raising
Two tablespoonfuls Of coal oil, added
to gill of strong garden pepper tea,
and given frequently, will cure the
worst case Of hog cholera.
Every family should have vegeta-
BILE garden from which to supply the ia
BILE with food. 1t costs nothing but a
few hours daily labor to raise vegeta-
bles, and it affords certain amount Of
pleasure in knowing that they are the
fruit of your own exertions.
