Kid gloves are much cheaper.
The north side Of a tree is said to furnish
tie strongest timber.
Before cold weather comes whitewash the
poultry houses and provide a supply of gravel
for your fowls.
Man may be the head of the family but,
better than that, woman is the heart OF 1t.
1t is a too common thing to make promises
thoughtlessly to children, without intentions
of keeping them. But if children may be put
of, they do not easily forget /; and so the
habit of unfaithfulness is founded to them, by
the unfaithfulneSS to them of Others.
Troublesome leaks around chimneys and
over b~ay-windows can, it is said, be perma-
nently stopped by applying hot, with a brush,
a composition made of tOur pounds rosin, one
pint linseed oil, and one pound red lead.
A woman may wear her hat knocked into
any conceivable shape, and both herself and

just let q man jam in one side of the hat he
wears, and he is at once proclaimed a first

Instead of bridesmaids, fashion prescribes
two tiny pages, who are chosen from the pref
test of the boy relatives. These are dressed

When potatoes are first put into the cellar
they eXhaIe an unpleasant odor- To absorb
this, and also to exclude the light air, they
may be covered with a little dry sand and,
if there is any tendency to rot, this can
frequently be counteracted by a sprinkling of
air Stacked lime.
The early morning hours have a potent
effect Oh the complexion, and 1t is better to
see the sun rise, and sleep in the middle of
the day if one must secure the necessary
sleep. The pure morning air has a tonic
effect on the nerves and the circulation of the
blood. Of course, the outdoor air is what is
needed. If too cold, plant yourself at the
suuniest window. American women need
more wolk in the open air, if it is only hat
afforded by balconies.
As houses are generally made, it is better
to draw down the upper sash of a window,
for the reason that the warmest air, palticu-
lorly during the night, collects near the cell
ing and injurious matters are carried up into
it from the floor. Drawing dow the sash
will afford a double means of ventilation !;
permitting the warm and noxious air at the
top to escape, and the outer air to enter at
the bottom of the sash through the lower one.
When the weather IS cold, it is not necessary
the upper sash be lowered much an inch or
two would be sufficient for a room of the
average size-that is fourteen or fifteen feet
square. A room which is used for the general
assembling of the family, what is called a
living-rOom, should not be less than that in
dimensions.

No Sabe.

The Rev. Mr.. Cook, during his vacation, is
said to have been hard at work studying the
Chinese, Mormon, and indian questions.
Throughout his Western trip he took personal
note of them.-ChicGgO Tribune.
Yes, he took personal note of all these
questions on his Western trip. When he saw
his first Indian, being assured by the brake
man of the train that the aborigine was not
dangerous, he approached hun and said:
"Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutored mind
Sees God in clouds or hears Him in the Wind
"Gimme cherbacker - said the red man.
"Noble son Of the forest, who has come
from his wigwam to the haunts of the pale
face, you behold before you a man from Bos-
ton"
The affrighted savage clapped his hands to
his ears and fled to the Businesses of the
mountains.
When Cook arrived at Salt Lake he studied
the Mormon question. He took lunch with
John Taylor, the Prophet, Seer and Revelator
of the Church, rode ont to Camp Douglas
ana took a birdseye view of the Mormon
question:, and jOtted in his notebook this
note: "The Molmons have made the desert
to bloom as the rose"
He studied the Chinese question up at Yo-
semitic, and asked the Chinese cook if he was
one of the noble band who stood knee-deep
in mud and saved San Francisco from inun-

A boy about fifteen years Of age,
named Edward Brain, living With.
hisfsther, Jackob Brain,in Patterson,
N. j., was sent, about nine p. M. Sat
urday, to purchase some groceries at
store close by. onthe way he was
Joined by another boy named Robert
Duroe, about twelve years Of age. It
was raining hard. AS they were go
ingacross a vacant lot in Pearl street,
at the endof Summer street, in order
to get to Mechanic street, Duroe says
he looked up aud saw coming toward
them from above, in an oblique line,
a small ball Of fire, which in an in
slant struck BARN on the left breast,
passed under his coat, and spread in
to a mass Of fame over the boys
breast and side. Brain was holding
his left hand on his breast at the
time, and in it was a quarter OF u
dollar Both boys was terribly frigh-
tened, and Brain says he was nearly
knocked down. They ran through
Mechanic street, into the grocery
store kept by man named Cox.
He Immediately stripped off young
Brains blazing clothes. The boys
coat was burned, TO cinder on one
side, as was also his underclothing.
His side was badly scorched and bis
tered, and the end of his thumb in
GLIDING the nail, was burned off
His left hand was also badly burned,
and the twenty-fye-cent piece which
he held in3his hand was partly melt
cd. Young Brain was put under the
medical care Of DR.. Garnett, who pro-
nounced his injuries not dangerous.
Brain says that he saw nothing; that
he only heard kissing noise over
his head just as he was struck. The
other boy, very intelligent little
fellow, who was about fifteen feet
from his comrade, says he saw the
ball of fire coming very distinctly.
Brain claims not to have felt any
shock as from a solid substance, but
sayshe was paralyzed for the moment.
Both boys are truthful, and their
storyis credited by all those to whom
is has been told, IN Y. Tribune.

Eathan Allen in Court.

Eathen Allen, the hero of Ticou-
derago, once plead his own case in
court far more honestlyan effectual-
ly than did the lawyer he had en-
ployed.
He was once sued upon promis,
sorry note for sixty pounds, and, as
it was not convenient for him to
meet judgment, he employed law
yer to procure a continuance. As
the readiest means Of doing this, the
lawyers determined to deny the sig
nature. The attesting witness lived
in Boston, and the impossibility Of
procuring him would make q contin-
uance necessary.
When the case was called, Allen
happened to be present, and, to his
establishment, he heard the lwyer
gravely deny the signature of the
note. WIN long strides, he made
his way through the crowd, and con-
fronting the amazed limb of the law,
rebuked him in a voice of thunder,
"Mr.-, l did not hire you to come
and lie. That is true note, signed
it, I'll swear to it, and I'll pay it. /
want no shutting, but I want time.
What l employed you for was to get
this business put over to the next
court, not to come here and lie and
juggle about IT,"
The counil for the plaintiff was so
impressed with the honesty Of the
old patriot that he readily consented
to continuance.

A Remarkable Love story.

The most remarkable love story of
the summer is told by the Port Jervis
Onion. Four years ago gentleman
Of swenty,three won the heart Of a
lady of nineteen. She was the
daughter of pious parents, and, al.
though she was not connected with
any church, looked with feeling akin
to horror on anything approaching
skepticiSm. But the time came
when she learned that her lover was
a deist; that he had no vcneration
for the Bible, and took no interest in
clutches. She was deeply panied
BY the revelation. She sent for her
lover aud endeavored to convince
hjni Of his error, bu. 10 vas 10. So.

isfied with her arguments. She final.

isfed with her arguments. SheRnal.
.ly wrote him Il tear-stsined letter
bidding him goodbye forever. The
lady mourned, but tried to satisfy
herself that she had acted correctly.
Two years made her more liberal
than she had been. The more she
read the more she distrusted her for
mer decision, and she finally became
quite us liberal as the lover she dis
carded. The lover, too, had under
gone change. Last winter a revi-
val Of religion took place in the city
in which he was engaged in bus
mess. Suffice it to say that he uni
ted with the church, and in a short
time became Jealous member, He
thought over the action Of his former
sweetheart in discatding him for his
infdelity, and wrote her a brief note,
asking the privilege of once more
calling on her.
When she timidly apologized for
her previous dismissal of him, he, to
her surprie, defended her conduct,
said she had been in the right, and
in her place he would do the some.
Her heart sank at these words. She
confessed the great change in her
sentiments; from being a firm believ-
in the Bible, she had discarded it,
and with it her belief in any reveal
ed religion. He pleaded with her,
urged everything he could think Of
to induce her to change her mind.
She could not, and told him so. He
felt that he must not be yoked to an
unbeliever, and gave her up.
You'll hardly ever see man forget
friend that owes him, though he's
no akin; you'll hardly ever see a wo-
man bet and pay the wager should
the other win; you'll hardly ever see
a pensive goat that cannot cat a
wooden cellar door; you'll hardly ev-
er hear an urchin quote the "hardly
evern from the Pinafore.

stieA q lI,e Farm.

In the long list Of business houses
and lots advertised for sale for taxes,
which we find among our exchanges,
says the Atlanta Constitution, none Of
them are owned By farmers. Very
recently while some men have made
money specializing in cotton, a large
number have lost il inthe same way.
If true to himself and his farm the
owner Of that farm in the long run is
about as happy, lives as comfortably
and has about as little to annoy and
try him as a man can have at any
other business. The successful mer-
chant Of Atlanta brings skill, fore
thought, energy, economy and judg-
ment to his business. Now, farmer,
you do the same. There is no royal
road to learning; there are no crowns
without thorns-in fact there are va
rious old sayingsand adages that may
be applied to farming, Be true to
your farm, give it your time and at
tention. Get you some agricultural
books and papers, and then, if you
find in them new IDEAS and new
methods which seem reasonable, try
them. Plant cotton not only to make
all you can at as little expense as
possible, but SO cultivate and handle
it as to put desirable article in
market. AS OF cotton so let it be Of
corn, wheat, oats, of all you grow or
raise. You can not make II fortune
on a farm in one or two seasons, but
persistent labor on that farm will
bringa sure reward. The founda.
ton Of our national wealth and
strength is agriculture, and it will
literally support that man who will
engage in it properly.

Bathing.

Avoid bathing within two hours
after meals, is the advice Of the Roy
al Humane Society of England, or
when exhausted from fatigue or from
any other cause, or when the body is
cooling after perspiration, and avoid
bathing altogether in the open air
if, after being q short time in the
water, there is sense Of chillness,
with numbness of the hands and feet,
but battle when the body is warm,
provided no time is lost in getting
into the water; Avoid chilling the
body. by sitting or standing undress.
ed on the banks or in boats, after
having been in the water, or re-
naming too long in the water, but
leave the water Immediately if there
is the slightest feeling of chillness.
The vigorous and strong may battle
early in the morning on an empty
stomach, but the young and those
who are weak had better bathe two
or three hours after a meal; the best
time for such is from two to three
hours after breakfast. Those who
are subject to attacks of giddiness or
falntness, aud who suffer from palpi,
tations and other sense Of discomfort
at the heart, should not battle with
out first consulting their medical ad,

Elimination.


Our bodies are in state Of incess-
ant waste and repair. At countless
millions of points, old material that
is being used up, and instantly re-
placed by new material that is as in
stantly cast aside.
For this reason it is true not only
that ones body is wholly changed
every year, but that it is not the
same at two successive moments.
Hence the Importance ofeliminuting
organs, to drain off this deak matter.
Arterial blood furnishes all the
new material, while the old is
brought away in the veins, from
which, it having been emliminatcd,
the residue returns to the heart, pu-
rified for further use.
The eliminating organs are the
lungs, liver, kidneys and skim
The lungs eliminate carbonic acid,
the most abundant Of all the
waste; the liver, cholesterine, waste
of the brain nerves; the kidneys, the
waste Of the muscles; the skin, more
or less Of carbon but especially the
salts of the system.
If any eliminating organ is mac
tive or diseased, so as to be unable to
perform its office properly, the cflete
matter is left in the blood, to accu-
mulate in the circulation, except
that some one or more of the other
eliminating organs come to help of
the former.
The skin often does so much of
this vicarious work, that q single
glance at the diseased mans face
will sometimes enable the physician
to know what eliminating organs is
diseased or torpid, This waste matter
left in the system results in various
diseases, sometimes in blindness,
sometimes in ulcers and various erup.
tons, and often in death, the system
becoming at length fatally inactive.

The poet of the Springfield Union,
gets off the following, which, with a
little alteration, might apply to a To-
cality we have in mind: "T'he boy
stood on the backyard fence, whence
all but him had fled; the flames that
lit his fathers barn shone just above
the shed. One bunch of crackers in
his hand, two others in his hat, with
pitious accents loud he cried, 81 new
er thought of that" A bunch of
crackers to the tail of one small dog
he'd tied; the dog in anguish sought
the barn, and mid its ruins died.
The sparks flew wide and red and
hot, they lit upon that brat; they
fired the crackers in his hand, and
eked those in his hat. Then came a
burst of rafting sound-the boyl
where was he gomez Ask ofthe wind
that far around strewed bits of meat
and bone, and scraps of clothes and
balls and tops and nails hooks and
yarn,the relics of the dreadful boy
that burned his fathers barn"
