Irish Rards.

The race OF Irish Bards proper in Ireland
was destroyed in the reigns of Elizabeth,
James the First, Cromwell and William
III. In praise Of the Irish harp. Lord
Bacon SAYS SAYS: 1.-The harpe hath the
cOncave not along the strings but across
the strings. and no harpe hath the sound so
melting and 50 prolonged as the Irish
harpe." Few philosophers could bring to
bear on such matters finer judgment than
Lord BacOn's. There is matter for musical
study and the study Of the philosophy of
acoustics IN these words of the great author
Of the "Novum Organum." Some people
enormously imagine that the Irish harp is
but an improved adaptation of the Greek
Tyre. This is not so. The latter is neither
more nor less than the bent bow of the
archer, SO bent that the curved ends are
almost brought together. The twanglng
sound OF the howstring as it vibrated after
sending the arrow on its deadly mission,
doubtless gave rise to the famous lyre of
Apollo. The harp of Erin was originally
shaped Ike a right-angled triangle. Irish
music Is full of delicate pathOs. The
lc=S songs of the country are tender and
chivalrous. The national Tor war; songs
literally blaze with fire. 'NOh for the
Swords Of Former Times, Let Erin Re-
member the Days Of DID, ''Who Fears to
Speak OF Ninety-eight,n > are specimens at
random. For love and patriotism COM
bined, the song Of O'Ruark, more COM
monty known by the title, ''The Valley
Lay Smiling Before Ne, ;" may fairly chal-
lenge any melody in the world. Begin
ming in a minor key il breathes the very es-
sence Of tenderness. A slight pause; the
key changes into major, and the song be-
comes 3erce and electric. From grave to
gay a peculiar characteristic Of the people
themselves, the Irish music is easily trans
possible Where ON the wide earth is there
such exquisite sorrow in sound as in the
melody, '-Silent, . Moyle, be the roar of
thy waters & Let this be followed by that
rollickiRr and most devil-nlay care of all
airs, '@GarTyOwen, and fair example of
this transportation may be noted. Then
again, take st Patrick's Day." not as
played by an Orgsn-gTinder, but by an
irish harper, or good violinist, and the
heels Of an Irishman viii pulsate in perfect
unison with the joyous beatings of his
heart

FEED FOR SHEEP.-In raising sheep
foor the wool crop feeds are almost in
dispensable, though they are not OF so
much importance i cases whore sheep
are raised for mutton alone. And now
let us give you reason for it. Wool
10 simply a growth of minute bones
nothing more nor less. Bones are
mainly composed of phosphate, and
hence to stimulate the growth to its
fullest extent feed rich in phosphates
would need to be given. Root feeds,
as turnips, beets and the like, are rich
Ia phOsphates, and are, therefore, the
proper feeds to stimulate wool growth.
There can be no question about this.
In this lot feed flock OF sheep on tur-
nips and hay, and in thaS adjoining lot
feed flock of the same breed on corn
and hay, or on any other feed, leaving
out the roots, and you will soon see a
marked difference in results. The for {.
mer having received a larger amount
of phOsphates than the latter, the wool
will be more healthy and In better
condition generally.

AGRICULTURE.

BORROWING AMONG FARMERS. - To
lend unto the needy and give unto HIM
that asketh is both charitable and neigh
borly, and, when the practice is pro-
perly conducted, a great convenience
all round, but when 1t is all on one side
it becomes another thing entirely. A
farmer may supply himself with an out
fit of such tools and Implements as are
necessary to carry on his farm and gar
den, but to keep them in his possession
and in good order is not so easy. One
comes TO borrow hoe, rake, or spade.
for use in his garden; another wants
To borrow a saddle Co ride few miles,
another a log chain, Swingletree, mat
took, ETC., until half the things on the
place are lent out, and when wanted
for use must either be sent for or the
owner do without until it suits the con-
venience of the borrower to return
them. But the evil does not stop here.
Not unfreQuently the borrowed article
comes home broken, and, If Of iron or
steel, always rusty or dull, even If, after
having kept 1t so long, the borrower
does not actually claim it as his own.
That neighborS can accommodate each
other, and with mutual advantage,
there is no doubt, provided the practice
is properly conducted-theret then being,
as old Grimshaw would say, 'recipro-
city in the business;' but with the adj
vantage all one side IL is sort of re-
ciprOcity not so agreeable on the other.
The farmer should first provide himself
with the necessary tools to carry on his
farm, and If by accident he is compel
led TO borrow he should at leas: take
good care of and return anything that
is lent him the moment he is done with

SHADE FOR CATTLE..-Dr. George B.
Emerson, a gentleman who seldom
speaks without saying something di-
rectly to the point, tells us that in our
pasture there ought to be trees; not
single trees only, but little groups of
trees, so that the cattle can go there in
the heat of the day and cool themselves,
and keep as long as they please away
from the sunshine. The sunshine Is as
important to them as to us; but they
are ineommoded and injured as much
by the excessive heat in July and Au-
gust as we are.

BUTTERMILK As A CoSMETIC.-Bathe

Take soft rag, dip it into cup of
buttermllk and wash every part of the
face, neck and hands. If there has
been greater exposure to the sun
than usual, after washing the face well
squeeze out the cloth and just wipe the
skin off and let it remain on without
washing till morning. You will be as
tonished to see how soon the freckles
and tan will disappear. For keeping
the hands white and skin soft there Is
nothing equal TO buttermilk. When
one gets burned with the hot sun, one
or two bathings in buttermilk will
cause the smarting TO cease, take out
the inflammation and render it COM
Portable quicker than any other remedy
ever tried. There is something in the
acid contained in the buttermilk that
does the work. When one has stained
fingers, with either berries, apples or
nuts, it will remove the stains almost
Immediately. 1t is particularly cool

any other lotion for beautifying the
complexion after using the buttermilk,

CARE OF CLoTHENG.-Itm makes great
difference in the looks and wear of a
hat or coat, whether it is thrown down
on a chair or lounge when taken off,
or carefully hung up. Two boys the
expense of their clothing is often
nearly one-haIf in difference-malnly,
as we think, because one of them will
always hang up his clothes carefully,
while the others may be found any
where-when they can be found at all {:
Properly brushing and cleaning clothes
and mending them as soon as required,
rather than waiting until the threads
ravel out, or the tear has grown too
large to be neatly repaired, add great
ly to their durability. When they get
little seedY, have some tailor who
does the work cheap and we'll, give
them q good suit, and each time they
will look ''as good, as new" Here is
whore true economy comes in, in the
care of clothing, and proper attention
TO repairing and cleansing. More than
half the expense can be saved in the
bill for the year If pains are taken TO
secure material worthy of such care.
