How Women Dress I'm Persia.

few women were to be seen. We
met one sitting aside on horseback, as
all Eastern women ride. We believe
them TO be women because OF their cos
tune and size; but we can see no part
OF them, not even a hand or an eye.
They are shrouded from the head to the
knees in cotton or silk sheet of dark
blue or black-the chudder, it is called,
which passes over the head and is held
with the hands around and about the
body. Over the Chudder is tied around
the head yard long veil OF white cot
ton or linen, in which before the eyes
Is piece OF open work about the size
Of a finger, which is their only lookout
and ventilator. The veil passes under
the chin. Every woman before going
out of doors puts on pair OF trowsers,
generally OF the same stuff and color as
the chudder, and thus her out door Sc
clusion and disguise are complete. Her
husband could not recognize her in the
street. In this costume Mohammedan
towns OF Persia. Their trowsers are
tightly bound about the ankles above
their colored stockings, which are in
Variably Of home manufacture and
slippers with no covering for the heel
complete the unsighuy, unwholesome
apparel of those uncomfortable victims
OF the Persian reading of the Koran
The indoor costume of Persian women
OF the higher class appears indelicate to
the Europeans. The chudder and
trowsers are the invariable walking
costume. Indoors the dress of Per-
sian lady is more like that of a ballet
girl. In the ante-roOms OF Persian
royalty my wife was received by prin-
cesses thus attired, or rather unattired.

a Novel IOK-TraD.

The cunning Of the fox was used as
an illustration by writers long before
the Christian era, and since that event
ful period Reynard has apparently lost
none Of his sly characteristics. But
the following incident shows how one
member Of the fox family i'm spite of
his proverbial slyness, was made to be-
come, by an ingenious continuance, his
own executioner. I'm West Freyburg,
Me-, lives a well-known farmer named
I. }. Haley, whose coops had been Wis
tied by hungry fox, and one evening
the rascal killed eleven half-grown
chickens, ten Of which he ate or car
ried off, leaving one dead near the
scene Of slaughter. Mr. Haley was con-
,iderably provoked, as would naturally
be expected, and resolved to set a novel
trap for his foxship, SO the next day
he drove two stakes into the ground
few rods from the coop, split them
open, and placed loaded gun i'm the
crevices, carefully pointed toward the
hole under the nearest coon where the
fox had crawled In to get his plumber
10 thls mole ne placed the dead chicken
fastened by a cord TO an end Of q piece
Of wood arranged to play forward and
back. like a whhlc-trce. and to the
other end Of this stick he tied a rome
connected with the trigger Of the gun.
held In position by two stakes, rs pre-
viously mentioned lie took pains TO
sight the gun about AZ high a. an ordi-
nary hat above tho hole under the
coop; also carefully adjusted the rope
80 that nothing could discharge the
gun unless the chicken iu the hole was
laid hold Of. The next morning. on
visiting the coop, there lay the misguid-
cd fox, dead as doOr-nail, with his
head iu the hole, aud the fatal chicken
/ iu bis stincued paws. The plan work
/ ed 10 charm, and makes, perhaps. the
. first case ON record where one Of the
I widest Of Che animal kingdom was en-
/ ticed into becoming the instrument of
/ his own destruction.

Preserving Timber in Mines.

The new method consists In a cOmbi-
nation Of creosote and soda. An iron
basin millimeters thick "a inch),
about meters (6H feet deep, and l.3
meters "a feet) In diameter, is sunk in
the ground rather more than half its
depth. By the side, and with the rim
below the bottom of the first basin, is
basin not quite half its size. A third
basin, about midway between the other
two In size, stands with its lower edge
rather higher than the upper of the
hrst basin. The first is provided with
a cover, half Of which is screwed on.
while the other half may be opened or
shut close. Above the bottom there is
sieve Of wire cause, and at the bottom
discharge cock. In addition the pipe
goes to the bottom, through which
steam can readily be conveyed. From
beneath the upper edge pipe passes
over the edge into the second basin.
Ia the second basin Is hand forcepump
for pumping the impregnated Auid into
the third basin, which is furnished
with a discharging cock. The opera
ton Is ollows: The pieces OF wood
to be impregnated are cut in suitable
lengths and placed perpendicularly, as
closely together as possible, in the first
basin, the cover Of which is then closed.
1t Is not necessary that the cover should
be alright. Meanwhile the third basin
has been filled with creosote soda-lve
either direct, or out of the second basin,
by means Of the hand.pump. The I've
is then admitted into the first basin un.
III II he about three parts fall, and then
steam Is conveyed directly through the
pipe mentioned before, 70 the I've. The
huid gradually begins 70 boil. while 10
is Increased By the condemnation water
Of the steam which pours In, and at last
begins 70 flow away through the pine
which passes over the edge Of the sec
Ond basin. The steam is then turned
OF, and the WOOD may be left 70 boil
Tor some time in the Iye. When AZ last
the I've has been discharged, and the
wood has been acted upon by direct
steam, the cover Of the basin is opened
and the impregnsted wood removed
Although the wood De- penetrated in thi-
way with the impreRuaHng fuid u

Good Words for the Boys.

The Danbury Ne,0s man put in good
words for the boys, who he had on his
farm:
"See here, boys; l don't care for
money, and will make bargain with
you. You may have half the money
we make in the garden, and OF the po-
tatoes which we shall plant, the boy
that raises the most from twelve rows,
shall have silver watch costing $l6."
The youngest is under the imp essiom
that If he is not far behind the eldest
in the quantity OF his rows, that no
may get a watch too. 1 may mention
another thing which works very well.
IL is this; am boss, and they know II;
but am never arbitrary. They alwaJ
see my reason for doing anything, and
at once acquiesce in my Judgment.
part Of my method is that we frequent
~ consult together. 1 listen to their
suggestions, aud often they will sug-
gest the very plan In my own mind.
But, If We happen TO diiler, show them
my reasons, after which Jney agree To
my plan with promptitude and cheer
iulness. Then they are alw avs at lib.
erty TO rest when they please. l often
say, Now boys, take rest" and they
have frequently replied, ave are not
tired Pa, but If you are, go and rest"
What do you think l dor Why, grin,
and 20 and rest awhile! Now, this
thing 1 have done, besides the moral
training they receive as my sons. And
l believe that ali farmers may well do
something similar by way OF encour-
agement, and not wait I'LL they are
aDOnt to die, and then leave their farms
10 their children, when they can retain
them no longer. Let our farmers treat
their sons like sons, and not like slaves
give them share in the proceeds, as
well as in the work and responsibility,
and 1 believe that in nine cases out of
ten, the boys could not be easily tempt
Ell away from the parental homestead.

SPROUTING POTATOES. 49, Sprouting
the white potato will advance the crop
two weeks. they should be cut so
that about two eyes are allowed to each
piece, and these should be planted in
hot beds with very thin covering of
soil; or it is better to plant in boxes
or set these i'm hot-bed; so that after
they are properly sprouted they can be
mt once carried TO the place of planting.
If the nights should be anyways cold
protect with a thin covering of straw
when the plants make their appearance
above ground. Some persons, who
want large quantity sprouted, cut the
potatoes as desired, and spread them on
boards, boxes or crates i'm dark place,
and when sprouted, say from an inch
to an inch and half, expose them to
the light, moistening two or three
times a week with tepid water. They
should be planted out so that there Is
not more than two inches of soil over
the top of the sprout.

AGRICUITURE.

HINTS on THE CARE or HoRsEs.-A
horse should have stable entirely
above ground, well lighted and well
ventilated. Ii Is next I'm Importance
that he be fed at certain regular hours /:
also that he be not fed too much at once
rs he should clean out the manger every
time, especially II not used. and be
ready TO grab at the next mess; IL will
do no harm If the bunk Is empty two or
three hours. Horses fed In this wav
viii really eat more and do better than
III the manger Is constantly crammed
with that which has been mussed over
besides, the horse is not kept stuffed all
the time and his wind Is better. Again,
1t makes great difference what horse
Is FED. Hay and oats alone will soon
ruin some horses, and hay should not
be Ted steadily 10 any horse A safe
system of feeding in winter is as fol-
lows: hay I'm the morning, and good
bright cornstalks twice a dav, with a
few ears of corn morning and night If
not working, otherwise, corn three
times day, the cornstalks being just
loosenlng enough to counteract the eff
fects Of the hay and keep the animal
healthy. Dat straw may be used i'm
place of the cornstalks, or together:
and then oats may be fed i'm place of
corn If a horse is not being used
he should not stand In the stable two
days In succession, but on mild DAYS
should be let out i'm the yard for exer-
else few hours, or be hitched up and
driven. When the horse comes to be
worked in the spring, the feed should
be changed entirely; but i'm changing
feed always do 1t gradually, and no
harm will ensue When working, the
feed should consist of cut hay, wetted
and mixed with meal made of corn and
oats in equal parts ground together:
and 1t Is astonishing how little feed of
thus kind Will keep horse good ut hard
labor, IL gaunts him, as he should be;

HEALTH HINTS FOR FARMERS. DAN
ger comes from sudden straiuing of
one muscle or set of muscles, so as to
injure their tissue and cause lameness.
Few escape this. Then add to these
the injury from overwork. Overwork
is simply working after the strength
has been reduced so low that il is pain
full or wearying to move. 1t is work.
ing after the nourishment in the blood
has been mostly used up. 1t Is like
keeping the mill going when the steam
Is low, or when the water in the dam
is nearly out. In such cases not only
the muscles suffer, but all the organs
of the body. Overwork at last, no mat
ter what kind it is, produces bankrupt
cy of the body, which is worse than
any kind of bankruptcy, bad as they
all are. In the care of the muscles
avoid colds and rheumatism. They
make people stiff and lame. They take
away the natural elasticity which gives
so much pleasure, and substitute a
wornout, tired, exhausted feeling
which borders on pain, and is often
more difficult to bear. How very care
full the owner of fine horse is that it
shall not take cold. He knows if it
does 1t will founder, and after this it
will never be a good stopper. Our
whole country is full of foundered
men and women, who are stiff, lame
rheumatic, old in feeling, inelastic.
Most of them might have preserved
their elasticity to old age if they had
taken proper care of themselves. AS a
rule farmers do not battle as much as
they should. The daily bath is to them
quite as important as to any class. 1t
requires but few moments to take It,,
and when followed by friction, it forth
ties the skins against colds.
