Sunlight.

It is a familiar fact that potato-vine
growing in dark cellar is white, puny,
and without strength. It would be al
most precisely the same with child con
fined to dark room. 1t is also well
know that light is essential to hee !th,
and that simple sunshine is the best med
icine in many diseases. But it is not
known how the hygienic efec: is exerted,
though there is reason to believ the effect
Is mainly due, not to the color rays, but
to the actinlc-the invisible rays that
paint the picture in the photograph, and
penetrate to the seed beneath the sod and
quicken its germ.
Some experiments, however, recently
presented to the English Royal Society,
have a bearing on the solution of the
question. They prove that the presence
of light, but especially of direct sunshine.
prevents the development of the micro
scopic fungi which are associated with
putrefaction and decay. When there are
germs already present in Ia liquid, it de-
stroys them, and perfectly preserves pu-
trescible fluid in which they have not yet
been developed. While this preservative
quality is most powerful in the direct rays
of the sun, it also exists indiffused LIGHT.
The hygien of light will doubtless
sometime be fully understood. Mean
while we know enough to make it sin
against health not to let the sun have
freest admission to all our dwellings.

Women who Pilfer.

1T is a hard thing to say" said the
superintendent of one of the largest stores
IN America to New York reporter, s.but
stealing, seems to come natural to great
many women. We have some lady Gus
toners whom we have known for years,
with whom we would not hesitate to leave
q tray Of uncounted diamonds. But we
have some others who would whisk off a
calico dress, if they found good chance,
although they would never wear it. We
sometimes think that some people like to
steal where they are closely watched, jus:
to convince themselves of their shrcwd-
ness, and gloat over it in private
There are some people who do not
hesitate to boast to their female acquaint.
anees that yesterday morning they cap
tured' such and such q thing people
who are not professional thieves. They
are not, of course, people who move in re-
spetable society. But we cannot shut
our doors against all who do not move in

buy. Our honest customers really are in

have not bought indeed, think there
are, but they are not one in 100000,

subject to this disese, (for think it is a
mild fern of diease) should guard them
selves carefully There may be such a
thing as kleptomania, but it is difficult to
detectit. hardly think there is such a
disease, but Undoubtedly there is M ania
among some people to steal.
A man might go along the street and see
some little smokers article and covet it,
although a second before nothing was
further from his thoughts. But he would
not be likely to take it, even if the oppor-
tunity offered, unless he was thief. A
woman sees something she would like to
wear in her hat or around her neck, and
her first idea is to possess herself of it.
Most women will pass it by, saying to
themselves that they cannot afford it.
But others, and they are unfortunate, will
have it in their pocket before, as be-
lieve, they half know what they are doing.
have no doubt, whatever, that thousands
OF articles have been stolen from this and
other stores, without detection, by women
who were really honest, but who took
what did not belong to them without q
moments hesitation and bitterly regretted
that they did not dare return the articles
tor fear of exposure.

The FOWer OF the Field.

There grew poppy in plot of corn,
AND three men thereby, before the heat
Had drawn from out the field beneath their
feet
The freshness of the dewdrops and the nom.
Then did the loveliness of that lone flower
Strike in upon the sense Of all the three;
And one, ayouth, spake in that thoughtful
And said, @Methinks this poppy well might
Some rich dark southern beauty, sleeping
sweet,
The second, one that was Of fiper years,
Made answer, May, blood-red banner, torn
By steel Of strife, and blown by winds of war,
And guarded round by ranks Of shining
Then spake to them the third, whose head
was boar
"Death comes 10 love and war, what aid they
then? 5 Sfgf :
The flower has one speech only unto me,
Ihat man is as the grass, and all his pride
VI war, and beauty of love shall suddenly
Fade like the flowers in the sad autumn-tide
The wind sweeps over them, and they are
gOne!" 50
And thereupon those three went silent on,
And the low sunlight lay uncroesed by shade
Until maiden came, who hummed song
For very gladness, as she tripped along,
The freshness OF the morning in her eyes;
Nor was she moved as they, in any wise,
10 any thought of that which makes afraid,
But stopped and plucked the poppy from the
ground,
And set it on the whiteness of her dress,
And so passed on, with added loneliness,
No hidden inner meaning had she found,
Nor thought of strife or death to make her
sad, -
The sole sweet beauty was enough for her;
She took Gods thought, the poppy, and was
glad
So was she natures best interpreter.

would have been for an audience of a
dozen as for one of thousands. At times,
with SO much wear and tear, some part of
the costume would need renewal; the
stockings, for example, would wear out,
and then no end of trouble would come
IN preparing another pair, that the exact
int age and dirt should be attained.
This she achieved by her own hand, by
lmmersing them in peculiar dye which
she had prepared from different ingredi-
ents not generally known to the regular
dyers. During all the early period of
the performance of this pant, when it
was used more as an opperetta than
drama, it was the custome for the dra-
matte persona to sing a finale after the
death Of Meg. The interval gave Miss
Cushman an opportunity to wash the paint
from her face and remove the head-dress
and gray hair of Meg, so that when she was
recailed-as she always was-she came
before the audience her own sweet, smil-
ing, pleasant self The contrast between
the wild, weird, intense face of Meg and
the genial aspect of the actress was
verltable sensation, which it was pity
to lose when afterward the musical finale
was omitted, and the piece concluded
with death of Meg

Protecting Corni,elds from Birds.

The crow, the blackblrd, and the blue.
jay are the only bird to
modest our cornfelds, and this for q
period OF about two weeks, starting from
the time the corn is up. To protect the
fields againlt their depredatious many
devices are restored to, two of which at
least are effectual, the rest doing little OF
nothing in averting the mischief. The
first is the running of a Irvine around the
field, elivated six to eight feet from the
ground on poles; but this requires time
and somewhat of expense. The other is to
SOW corn over the field to feed the
hungry birds. 1t is not necessary to ex,
tend this sowing over more than a small
portion of the ground at to or three diff
ferent places, at the head lands.
The depredators would soon discover
charitable donation, and be perfectly sat
listed with the arrangement, leaving the
young plants unframed. In providing
the remedy the time spent would be
tri1ing, and the whole cost from half to
a bushel of corn. But it should be re-
membered that the crow never eats hard
corn. If found hard it is carried off. six
to eight grains at time, and buried un-
til it becomes soft. Therefore, the corn, be-
fore being scattered, portion at time,
should first be we'll soaked. With this
precaution, we think we can promise any
cornticld to be free from the depredations
so much complained of in certain seasons.

Caring for MSzk.-1. Never, under
any circumstances, put pail of milk
into your can before straining. One pail
of unstrained milk may spoil whole can
and one can ofimpure milk will certainly
injure all milk or cream with which It
comes in contact. In the name of de.
cency we beg Of every patron to be par
tlculsr about milking and properly strain
ing his milk. =
2. Cans containing milk should never
be kept in milking barn during the
night. The scent of the stable (howeyer
we'll kept, will in]ure the milk and spoil
the nice flavor fresh butter should have.
An open shed, a little distance from the
barn, your woodshed, or cool kitchen.
IS the only proper place for keeping milk
over night
8. Insist that your milking is done in
Clearly manner. Too much pains can
not be taken in this particular. Careless
ness here will entail great loss on the
manufacturer and insult the consumer.
A.. Bed your cows with sawdust. if
possible; it will keep your COWS clean
and the stable sweet.
3. Do not, under any circumstances:
leave your pals and strainer at the barn
over night. Please carry them to the
house and insist that they be properly
washed both morning and evening.
Much depends on this.
6. Use only tin pals for milking.

while it will greatly add to the value of
