IMPORTANCE OF CLEAN SKIN.-
Most of our invalids are such, and mil
lions of more healthy people will become
invalids for the want of paying the most
ordinary attentions to the requirements
of the skin. The membrane is too often
regarded as covering only instead of
complicated piece Of machinery, scarcely
second in its texture and sensitiyeness
to the ear and eye. Many treat it with
as little reference to its proper functions
as if it were nothing better than a bag
for their bones. 1t is this consideration
for the skin that is the cause of very
large proportion of the diseases of the
world. If, as claimed by some scientists.

skin or be turned back upon the system

the skin as upon inhaling pure air

ONE BY ONE.

One by one the sands are flowing,
One By one the moments fall;
Some are coming, some are going;
Do not strive to grasp them all.
One by one thy duties wait thee.
Let thy whole strength go to each,
Let no future dreams await thee,
Learn thou first what these can teach
One by one bright gifts from Heaven),
Joys are sent thee here below;
Take them readily when given,
Ready too to let them go.
One by one thy griefs shall meet thee,
Do not fear an armed band;
One will fade as others greet thee;
Shadows passing through the land.
Do not look at life's long sorrow;
See how long each moments pain,
God will help thee for to morrow.
So each day begin again.
Every hour that fleets so slowly
Has It's task to do or bear;
Luminous the crown, and holy,
When each gem is set with care.
Do not linger with regretting,
Or for passing hours despond;
Nor, the daily toll forgetting,
Look too eagerly beyond.
Hours are golden links. Gods token,
Reaching Heaven; but one by one
Take them, lest the chain be broken
Ere the pilgrimage be done.

SMILE WHENEVER YOU CAN.

When things don't go to suit you.
And the world seems upside down,
Don't waste your time in fretting.
But drive away that frown;
Since life is oft perplexing.
'Tis much the wisest plan
To bear all trials bravely.
Aud smile whenever you can.
Why should you dread tomorrow,
And thus despoil to-day?
For when you borrow trouble.
You always have to pay.
1t is good old maxim,
Which oft should be preached:
Don't cross the bridge before you
Until the bridge is reached.
You might be spared much sighing,
Ifyou want 10 keep in mind
The thought that good and evil
Are always here combined,
There must be something wanting.
And though you roll in wealth,
You may miss from your casket
The precious jewel-health.
And though you're strong and sturdy.
You may have an empty purse;
And earth has many trials
Which consider worse!
But whether joy or sorrow
Fill up your mortal span,
Twill make your pathway brighter
To smile whenever you can.

Lean Cattle for Europe.

Good news for American stock breed.
ers, is the demand for live cattle by
German and English farmers. Recent
ly ship load Of Western cattle were
landed in Tonning, to be fattened on
the rich pastures of Schleswig- Holstein
Relative prices of young stock there
and in this country warrant the impor-
tation of these young lean cattle fol-
the purpose. This cargo, numbered
322 head, Is horses, and As swine, be.
sides some fat cattle, horses and swine
for England, were purchased at Chica-
60. and were so we'll received by the
German farmers that the vessel was at
once sent back for another lot 'The
ship arrived in the harbor under salutes
of cannon and display of flags, and
hundreds of people lined the quay.
There is also quite demand in Eng.
land for lean cattle and hogs for fatten-
ing; and in the embargo against the i'm.
pOrtation OF live cattle at English ports,
an exception is made in favor of those
from America. This, together with the
increasing call for finely bred stock
from this country for Europe, argues
well for our agricultural interests. The
more our attention is paid to stock
farming instead of such exclusive grain
and other crop production, the better
will it be for farming. English agri-
culture dates it's present advanced po-
sition from the beginning of heavy
stocking of its farms and generous
seeding, which added largely to the fer.
tility Of the soil, and caused conse-
quent increase in the yield Of crops.

Pork and Grass.

The inquiryis frequently made: How
many. pounds Of pork will an acre Of
clover make? TO answer intelligently
it is necessary to estimate the amount
of clover that can be produced upon an
acre, and reduce that amount to value
in corn. Clover is so susceptible to the
influence of fertilizers that when the
soil is thoroughly enriched possible re-
suits are almost fabulous; passing these
and assuming the very low estimate
that an acre of clover is equal in nutri-
tive value to an acre of corn, and esti-
mating eight pounds of pork to the
bushel, we shall have on land that will
produce thirty bushels of corn per acre,
two hundred and forty pounds of pork
if pastured. This we think much too
low an estimate. Judiciously managed
four hundred pounds is safe average
Now what We mean by judiciously man.

The Language Of Gloves.

N. Y. World
The English girls have improved up
on the language of the fan and the hand
kerchief by devising very copious vo-
cabulary of the gloves, which, for the
benefit Of American ladies, we beg to
pirate from an English contemporary.
1t runs thus:
Drop a glove-Yes.
Crumple the glove in the right hand
No,
Half unglove the left hand-Indiffer-
ence.
Tap the left shoulder with the gloves
Follow me.
Tap the chin with the gloves-I love
you no longer.
Turn the gloves inside out hate
you.
Fold the gloves neatly-I should like
to be with you.
Put on your left glove leaving the
thumb uncovered you love me?
Drop both gloves-I love you.
Twill the glove around the finger
Be careful; we are watched
Slap the back of the hand with the
glove-I am vexed.
Take a glove in each hand and sepa-
rate the hands, am furious.
We make the following addition:
Drop both gloves-I chew gum.
Smooth the gloves with both ''paws"
Wipe off your chin.
Unglove the hand-Don't want any
truck with you.
Tap the nose. with the gloves -Are
you solid for ice cream?
Chew the finger end off the gloves

Turn the gloves outside in-Go soak
your head.
Twill the gloves round-What do ye
soiy.

The Governor of Iowa has issued the
following timely proclamation in regard
to tramps:
WHEREAS, l am officially informed
that large numbers Of lawless persons
sometimes called tramps, are travelling
in this State, stopping railway trains and
committing other violent acts. Now,
therefore, l do hereby urge upon the
Sheriffs of the several counties and
Mayors Of cities and towns throughout
the State to be prompt and diligent in
preserving the peace. Attention is
called to section 4145, chapter 6, title
XIV Of the Code, whereby the Sheriff
or any officer authorized to execute pro-
cess, may, in case of actual or appre-
hended resistance thereto command as
many male inhabitants of his county as

companies in the county, armed and
equipped, to assist them in overcoming
resistance. The attention of the Boards
of Supervisors of the several counties
is also specially called to chapter So
