Can anything be said to induce farm
ers to keep their grounds freer from
weeds? If the weeds annually raised
| within our boundaries were clover and
wheat instead, they would amount to
800, 100000. Weeds may be eradicated
by patient and perseveringiindustry.
italian cattle, which in the vicinity OF
Florence belong to a very pure white
| breed, are fed chiefly on hay, straw,
| bran and beans, as also on vines, leaves,
sorgho and Indian corn in autumn. Oak
and elm leaves are only resOrted to in
very dry summer, when all the ordinary
heritage is dried up.
| A resident of Montgomery, Pa, has
| exchanged his farm of I04 acres, with
the buildings, implements, crops and
stock, valued at $40, 900, clear of incum-
brance, for a theater in Philadelphia,
subject to a mortgage of $4,000, and
has given $40, 900 to boot. In year or

The destruction of weeds should be
constantly attended to, for, like insect
pests, they multiply enormously. A
weed plucked before it goes to seed will
prevent the growth of hundreds the fol

Sayings of Aristotle

Being asked what those who tell lies
gain by it, he said: They gain this,
that when they speak the truth they are
not believed"
He speaks of education being an or
nament in prosperity, and a refuge in
adversely.
When asked how much educated men
were superior to those uneducated: "As
much" said he, "'as the living are to the
dead"
A man boosted that he was native of
an inustrious city. Aristotle said:
That is not what one ought TO look at,
but whether one is worthy of a great
city,"
He spoke of friend as Zone soul in
two bodies"
He used to remark that some men
were as stingy as if they expected to live
for ever, and some as extravagant as if
they expected to die immediately:
"Have / not been jeering you well"
said chattering fellow. "Not that |
know of, for 1 have not been listening
to you"
When asked how we ought to behave
to our friends, he said: CAS- we should
wish our friends to behave to u.s."
Justice he defined as GA virtue of the
soul distributive of what each person de-
derived

The Girls in Vienna.

Cor. of Chicago Times.l
People do little else in Vienna except
to eat, and drink old wine and beer The
ladies in general dress very richly, wear
ing soft silks and exquisite laces at din
ner parties. Jewels, too, are never lack
ing, and are always worn with good taste.
The young girls, or ladies, l should say,
from sixteen to twenty, have the most
perfect forms imaginable. Their waists
are round and slender, the shoulders
slope with Venus-like accuracy, but the
bust is the browning beauty. l never
saw anything to equal the Vienneoise
decollete. 1t is the form and develop
ment of a woman with the face of young
girl, but what perfection! Modesty for
bids my explaining farther, but one can
not imagine any more charming picture
than the sight of perfectly formed crea-
ture, modestly attired, yet sufficiently
la mode to only half conceal the charms
of faultlessly developed womanhood. |
have a weakness for beauty myself, and
never see a slender waist and shapely
hand but think "what a gift is comeli-
ness, and when, as in Vienna, the hand
is only halt the beauty of the neck and
arms. L think that the fashion of dress
ing the young maidens in the Austrian
capital something quite perfect. Usually
they wear white and feecy folds of SOFT
tulie adjoining every ''corsage" (Waist).
The arms are always bare from the ell
bow, and sometimes entirely so from
the shoulder. Up to the present /
have never seen but the most perfectly
shaped hands and arms, and the slender
wrists that look so white and beautiful
are like carved marble of the pictures in
the gallery at the Hague, in Holland.
We can see that the Flemish and Ger
man artists have not far to look for their
models. At present all the ladies wear
black shoes like those known by the name
of "Oxford ties" and if not always ap-
prOpriate, it is much more convenient
and cheaper, although the general rich
ness of toilet hardly suggests the idea of
economy. Now the picture changes.
Many of the latest women l have ever
seen are the young married women of
Vienna, from twenty-five to twenty eight
and thirty. Their waists have more than
doubled in size. Their appetite are en-
ormous, and the quantity of wines, beer
and champagne they drink is unbeliev-
able. Still | have seen it on more than |
one occasion, and one never doubts the |
evidence of their own eyes, do they? III
have now been here some little time and |
have never yet seen a young married |
couple. All the gay youths of forty and |
Whereabouts have young wives, and many
a good-looking fellow has a wife old |
enough to be his mother.
