USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

They are beginning to discover in
England that the horse is born without
shoes. and that he gets along best on
his natural hoofs.
The raising of grain requires much
labor, and at the low price it commands
it don't pay to raise it at the present
time. The farmer should put on his
study cap, and ask himself what will
pay, what kind of farming requires
least labor. If he does, he will say that
is stock raising. That takes little la
Dor. That keeps the farm rich. That
requires more grass and less grain,
more condensation of values.-Ios0a
State Register.
Picked ONIONs.-Select small white
onions, put them over the fire in cold
water, with a handful of salt. When
the water becomes scalding hot, take
them out and peel off the skins. Lay
them in a cloth to dry. then put them
in a jar. Boil half an ounce of allspice,
and half an ounce of cloves in a quart
of vinegar. Take out the spice and
pour the vinegar over the onions while
it is hot. Tie up the jar when the vim
egar is cold. and keep it in dry place.
HERE is an example for all harmless
farmers set by the editor of Colcman's
Rural World: 1--WE built very COM
modious barn. sixty feet square, a
couple of years ago, with men hired at
fifteen dollars per month. The timber
was got out of the woods. The clap
boards for shingles were rived in the
woods. All the lumber bought was the
planks to inclose it. The cost of the
whole barn was trifling in comparison
to its value, and the amount saved by it
in any year woul dbuild another like it.
The american Agriculturist says:
The queen of buildings recipe is this:
One pint of bread crumbs, one quart
milk, one cup sugar, butter size of an
egg. Yelks of four eggs. Flavor with
lemon and bake as custard. Beat the
whites of four eggs to froth, mix with
a cup of powdered sugar and juice of a
lemon. Spread layer of fruit jelly
over the custard while hot; cover with
the frosting, and bake until slightly
brown. To be eaten cold, with cold
cream, or warm, with any sauce that
may be preferred.
THIS is how the French clean silk:
The silk must be thoroughly brushed
and wiped with cloth, then laid flat
on board or table and well sponged
with hot coffee, thoroughly freed from
sediment by being strained through
muslin. The silk is sponged on the
side intended to show; it is allowed to
become partially dry, and then ironed
on the wrong side. The coffee removes
eve.y particle of grease and restores
the brilliancy of silk without imparting
to it the shiny appearance of crackly
and papery stiffness obtained by beer,
or, indeed, any other liquid. The silk
really appears thickened by the pro-
cess, and this good effect is permanent.

apron or cravat will never try any
other method Western Rural.

they sweated more freely, and the ex-
crements were somewhat sOftened; but
in short time this ceased. In gener-
al. the horses ate the new hay more
willingly than the old. They retained
the same strength and corpulence as
before. The hair kept bright, the
health perfect. OF $50 horses from
four to thirteen years old, with which
the experiments were instituted, thirty
seven gained in fairness, and eighteen
in strength and endurance. Only
eighteen lost flesh, and eight lost
strength, while seventy-nine remained
unchanged. A second series of
experiments upon $50 horses gave
the same results. On the other
hand, another series of expert
ments was less successful, where
seventy-four horses, from four to thir-
teen years old, were fed exclusively
with new hey, the quantity being in
creased until it equalled the regulation
ratiOns of old hay, straw and oats
together. On this feed there was no
real sickness, but a general weakness,
frequent sweats, loss of appetite, d.
gestion disturbed. diarrh9a, relaxa-
ton of the muscles, WEAKNESS, etc.
The decision of the Commission was
that new hay can replace old hay in the
regular rations without injury, and
perhaps with advantage, but that to
feed them exclusively on new hay is in
furious to the horses. Experiments
were made upon 1900 horses by feed
ing them on new oats, and were at
tended with favorable results, mas
much as the animals nearly all in
creased in bulk and strength, from
which the Commission concluded that
new oats can be substituted for old
ones with advantage, and hence it is
useless to wait two months after the
harvest before permitting the use of
new oats. These experiments refute
most positively the prejudice that still
prevails in many places against feed
ing new hay and oats to horses. On
the other hand, it cannot be denied
that horses to which new hay is given
are frequently exposed to collie. The
danger is only present, then, when the
horses receive no definite ratiOnS, but
have put before them as much as they
can eat. In this case they not only eat
much more new hay. but they also cat
much more eagerly and greedily, which
can be so much more injurious, as ex-
perience proves that those very horses
which are most inclined to the collie eat
most greedily.-Industrie Blatter.

or-not only this, but he gives it the
weight of his whole body as a test,
swinging to and fro upon the thread
like the pendulum of clock. l told
you he had no measure, but in this [
am wrong, for he uses his body to de-
termine the distances, and the proper
ton of the web depends upon the size
of the spider. Did you ever notice how
accurate the distances of these wheel
like spokes and meshes were? And
shall we not remember what labor this
must have been when we are disposed
to destroy the work of SPIDERS life
time? We all know how perseveringly
it sets about to repair the loss, if it is
thus robbed. 1t is true that it seems
much fonder of mending than of max
ing, as it has but a certain quantity of
glutinOus matter, which, when exhaust
ed, nothing can renew. An old spider
is frequently at loss for a home on
this account. 1t hunts about for the
web of another spider younger and
weaker than itself. As soon as it has
succeeded in its search, it drives the
young one out, and takes possession.
Spiders have the art of crossing
streams of water on bridges of their
own making. once read curious
fact, which l will give you here: "Hav-
ing placed a large, full-grown spider
on a cane upright in the midst of a
stream of water, saw it descend the
cane several times and remount when
it had reached the surface of the water.
Suddenly / lost sight of it wholly, but
few minutes afterward, to my great
establishment, perceived it quietly
pursuing its own way on the other side
of the stream. Having spun two threads
along the cane, it had cut one of them,
which, carried by the wind, had be-
come attached to some object on the
bank, and SO served the spider as a
bridge"
But the most curious species of the
spider is the water-spidcr. This crea-
ture builds its nest Mnder water. lie
first spins threads, viii ch he fastens to
some leaves of plants which grow in a
still pool; at the same time he weaves
for himself ball or cocoon, made tight
by being covered with gummy SUBJ
stance which comes from his body.
This apartment is about half as large
as pigeons egg, and has an opening
in it from beneath. Having covered
his own body in part with this gum, he
comes to the surface of the water with
a little air-bag, and draws in as much
air as the bag will hold. Then he dives
down and empties the air in the bag
into the cocoon. This process he con-
tinues until he fills the cocoon with air
and the water is all forced out. In this
diving-bell, or whatever you may call
it, the spider afterward lives: here he
takes all his prey, and it is his home.
There is air enough in his cocoon to al
low him to breathe, and he lives Just as
comfortably as if he was above thewater.
What a wonderful evidence of the
skill and workmanship of the Great
Creator and Designer of all things is
here! How can anyone, with such facts
as these before him, doubt for one mo-
ment that there is such great and wise
being as the everlasting God ruling over
all things?-Mrs. g. Hall, in N. Y. o.

Fashion Notes.

BONNETs grow smaller, and the capes
on them grow larger. Some of the re-
cent impOrtations in the capote shape
have large capes made of foundation
covered with shirred silk or gathered
lace ruffles.
Parasols with long walking-stick ham
dies are much used at foreign water
ing-places. Ladies who are fond of
walking find them serviceablc. They
are called duchess parasols. Those made
of percale are edged with wash laces.
Serviceable skirts of red flannel are
made of serge or Quaker flannel, and
have side plaitings edged with narrow
torchon lace. This plating is set up
about an inch from the bottom of the
skirt. For mountain or sea-shore walks
the dress is Topped slightly over these.
A favorite style of dress for young
girls is the "blouse'' polonaise. 1t is
made loose to the figure, is held by
belt and is sometimes fitted in
front by two darts. Thin materials
make up very we'll in this way. The
fronts of this style of dress are some
times left open all the way down and a
pulled front inserted. They have small
mantillas added for street wear. Many
pretty effects are given to the simplest
dresses by the present taste for en-
broidery. Ap1incesse dress for a young
girl, of dark blue linen, has front or
plastron of light blue zephyr, en-
broidered in darker shades. The tlounce
and ruffies are also embroidered.
The hair is worn very much lower.
1t no longer is disheveled, but is laid
in more orderly fashion on the fore
head in small natural waves or curls.
1t is parted, and the large square
chignon begins halfway back and
spreads itself downward to the neck,
almost as low as the catogan braid.
Handsome combs with balls are worn,
which, when the hat is faring, make
an inside ornament. With this style of
head-dress narrow bands of ribbon are
worn around the head set close to the
chignon, with a rOsette or bow on each
side. Instead of these, bands are worn
in the evenings, gold or jeweled bands
for full-dress, or else large gold-head-
ed pins. stuck at irregular intervals in
the hair.
There is new shape in bonnets for
those persons who like something a
little different from the universal ca
pote. 1t is the creation of we'll
known French house, and has been
worn great deal at the recent French
races 1t is made of Italian straw, is
In the shape of a large sailor hat and
is worn at the back of the head. There
are three ways of trimming it. One
way is with wreath of field or wild
flowers around the crown, and another
wreath inside the brim, on the hair.
Another way is to wind scarf of silk
the same color as the straw around the
crown, with bunch of feathers of the
same shade ON the left, and a small
bunch of flowers inside just above the
ear. The third way is to mingle scarfs
of velvet and long Amazonian plume,
which are held by a buckle of gold Till

Romantic Marriage.

PHILIP +. WAREHAM was this after
noon married, in Chicago, to Miss Sa-
die Williams, both parties of Dayton.
The case is strong instance of wom-
ans devotion in love. Wareham, only
a few months ago, received a pardon
from Gov. Young, and was liberated
from the Penitentiary after an imprison-
ment of nine years. He was convicted
of murder in the first degree, having,
lin quarrel in which he was involved,
in Cincinnati, in August, 1869, stabbed
and killed David Kirby. The case pro-
duced much interest at the time. Both
men were from Dayton, and Ware
hams relatives were members of the
Catholic Church, and very wealthy.
He had been living a dissipated life,
but was betrothed to Miss Williams,
who remained firm in the belief IF his
unintentional guilt. Some of the best
counsel in the State were engaged on
the case, and every effort was made by
Wareham's relatives to save him.
George E. Pugh made one of his strong
est speeches in Warcham's behalf to
the jury that convicted him. The ver-
dict found him guilty, but he was sem
fenced to Imprisonment for life instead
of death. Since then the efforts of
Miss Williams have been untiring and
ceaseless to procure further mitigation
of the sentence. Petitions were pre-
scented successfully to Cows. Hayes,
Allen, Hayes Tin his second term), and
finally to Gov. Young. She herself
endeavored by personally interceding
70 I,
full at last, nine years after the crime
had been committed. She is woman
of twenty-eight years, attractive, but
modest and retiring in manner. He
was twenty-one when the murder was
committed, and is now thirty. Nine
years of close confinement has changed
him for the better.-Dayto's Ohio) Dis
