How to Bscuine Graceful.

The best grace is perfect naturalncas
Still, you must study yourself, and form
your manners by rule of that art which is
but carrying out of the laws of nature
But If 1t Is your nature to be forever assum-
ing some unpicturesquc, ungraccful attitude,
pray, help nature with little art. If YOU
are stout, avoid the smallest chair in the
room, and be sure you sit on it, not to lean
back in 1t with your hands folded in front
Of you just below the line of your waist,
especially while the present fashion lasts
If you arc thin, do not carry yourself with
your chin protruding and your spinal COL
umn curving like the bowl of spoon. Do
not wear flimsy materials made up without
a ruf1le, or puff, or tlounce, to fill up the
hard out lines of your bad figure, 40 cruelty
defined by the tightly pulled back draperies.
Study the art of dress. We once knew a
very plain woman who dressed 80 tastefully
that 1t was really pleasure to look at her.
If you have been moping until you arc sick
with the thought of your own hopeless ugli.
ncss, be up and doing. Forget your dis
appointments, forget the past and the sneers
of your own family over the mistakes that
you have made.

Pistols and Prayers.

Some time ago Deputy Sheriff and
three other citizens of Evath County,
Texas were charged with warrant
for the arrest of Rusk Holloway,
and reached the house in the midst
of rrayer-mceting. Rusk Hollo-
way refused to surrender his arms,
and in moment the officers were sur
rounded by enemies. Rusk commenced
shooting, and Robertson fell dying af-
ter escaping from the house. The fight
now amounted to regular battle. The
voice Of prayer was hushcd in the whiz
OF bullets and the bang, bang, bang OF
guns and pistols. In the meantime the
smoke OF gun-powder and the groans Of
the wounded and dying assembled to-
gether. Keith and Ross, in the midst
of shower of bullets, ran quickly
around the opposite side OF the house.
Just rs he reached a small tree Ross tell,
pierced by bull. But with his six
shooter still in lis hand the doomed vie
tim rose to his knees, clung to the tree
with one band and tried to shoot with
the other. At this moment old man
Holloway and his daughter appeared on
the scene Of carnage, and Fastening to
where Ross lay clinging to the tree de-
manded the surrender ofhls shooter
Ross replied that he might have it pro-
vided he would let him take out the one
remaining cartridge. Holloway and his
daughter, the eyes of the girl flaming
and her long hair floating on the south
wind, which blew away the smoke OF
the fight, then seized the pistol of the
wounded man, and by main force
wrenched it from his hands, enfeebled
as they were through loss of blood.
The old man then like veritable fiend
placed the muzZle Of Ross own pistol
against the side of the wounded man
and fired. Ross with IL groan fell over
dcad, his murderer cody extending his
l'fclcss body on the ground, all be-
smcared In blood. King and Keith es-
capped, and the bodies Of Robertson and
Ross were shortly afterward found
where they fell by n posse of citizens.

SrADING A GARDEN. The spading
fork, when used in digging unoccupicd
soil, should always be inserted nearly
pcrpend!culnr the depth Of eight or
nlnc Inches, the slices not being more
than five or six inches wide; il much
wider the soil cannot be sufficiently
pulvcriZcd, and If the fork is not insert-
ell to Il sufficient depth the roots OF the
plants will not penetrate dcep enough
to enable them to withstand any
drought. The operation of trenchimg.
or digging the soil two or more spades
deep, is generally wrongly performed.
rs the bottom soil is brought to the SUR
face. and the top soil buried below. I'm
such cases the soil brought to the sur
face is almost always poor and ofa hum
cry nature, totally unfit for young
plant life. The proper way of doing II
is to open a trench two or more feet
wide and spade deep, throwing the
top soil 10 one side, then spread ONE
manure in the bottom of the trench,
and spade it into the bottom soil; on
this throw the top soil of the next
trench, Incorporating with it some
manure, and 80 on, trench after trcncn,
until the plot is finished, filling up the
las trench with the top soil taken from
the first trench.

AGRICULTURE.

STABLES AND HoRsEs.--We frequent
ly sec articles against keeping harness
in stables, the reason given being that
the ammonia prevalent there rots che
leather and soon destroys the harness.
Now this Is beginning at the wrong
end to remedy the evil. We may talk
and ndvise,S "ycur in and year out"
abont tile matter, but harness will be
kept in the stable In spite ofall. Where
else can the majority Of people who
keep horses hang these trappngsl A
rich man may have a closet in which
the harness may hang safely from fear
Of ammonia and I'll other dangers; but
the average horse owner will have his
pegs behind the team, because he can
have no other way of disposing of the
harness. But the trouble would end
If the production Of ammonia were pre-
vented. Enter an ordinary stable al
any period, but especially in the will

in them in safety; and be sure If the

The heart of the Gazette is in the right
place after all. The attack Of overflow of
bile last Fall threatened something serious
and there were grave apprehensiOns for
time that it would run into a serious
chronic form that might battle the. skill Of
the best physician, but the case is now
more hopeful and the patient is acquiring
his normal condition. The arrow that was
poised for Senator Bayard has returned to
its quiver, and the editor now quotes kind
words and holds out in his salver "apples
of gold in pictures of silver" Even Repre-
sentative Williams has ceased to be a
weekly target for the irate editor. 1t is
perhaps the first time the Gazette has wan
dered and it returned from the bleak hills
ere the winters storm had set in. After
all, these little by.plays aside, the Gazette
has a conservatism that is refreshing. In
all things not seen through his political
spectacles, he has clear eye for the "old
paths," and stands like finty sentinel tc
meet the isms and assaults of free thinkers
on the citadel of truth. 1t is only occa
sionally that he dodges the smooth stone

occasional misteps can be overlooked whil'
it stands up for the sterner virtues affecting
