The Sort of Men Girls Like.

1t is, we believe, commonly understood
to be a fact that women are less affected
than men by mere personal beauty,
And to some extent we incline to this
op MON also. Yet what are called
beauty men" have their worshipers,
and dispense their little favors with as
charming q sense of their own condo,
scension and affabllity as thu ir rivals OF
the opposite sex. But, ate all, a man
VINO has beauty, and nothing more, is
apt to fall, and we doubt if he comes
| under the category OF the men that
girls like. His serene belief in his own
PROJECTIONS, and his secur conviction
tuat every womsn that m under the
| charm OF his soft eyes and elegant iea
| lures must fail a victim to destinations,
| have an irritating effect And the con-
| sequence of widespread search after fas-
cination makes such a man difficult,
Almost impossible, to fix. A girl
as we'll as a man, may feel with a touch
stone that "a poor thing, but her
| own is preferable to a thing of beauty
shared among her friends. Beauty,
vanity, brutality, obstinacy, effemi~
macy, FOLLY and s%elfshness are all in
their turn adored by women OF all
grades. Therefore let III take a typical
| girl-oue who has seen more than one
man in her lite, who does not live in the
country all year round, or in a watering
| place where a man Is a man be he never
| so little of one Our typical girl shall

Anew Trick at winding.

A few days ago a package WAS re,

road, by express, valu, d at several thou.
sand dollars. The route messenger in
structed the Atalissa agent not to have
the package in the office over night, but
to take it home, or deposit it in a safe
place el.ewhere That night the ex
press office wa broken into and robbed,
a few trinkets of no value being taken,
though the Office was thoroughly ram
sacked. This is a trick which has been
frequently played upon the express
company. A package of silk, as in this
case, or smile jewelry is directed from
an eastern Office to some rural Office in
this state, on which is marked a large
value. The night following its delivery
the agency is robbed, and a suit follows
to recover the value of the valuable
package stolen by the swindler who sent
it, and who has followed it to its desti.
nation. 1t won for a time, but the ex.
press company has learned the game,
and now immensely. valuable packages
sent to small country Offices are not kept
where they can be stolen. Hence the
~precaution OF the route agent saved the
company the loss of several thousand
dollars on a snide package.

How Horses Become Blind.

One of the worst eye traps known is
the ~abeminable hay-rack, where a horse
has to reach up and pull the hay down,
Fl ling his name, 'oretop and, worst
OF all, his eyes with hay seed, chatf or
whatever may be mixed with the Prov
ender.. These traps are met with every
where throughout the land. These
throw the horse in the most unnatural
position for Ieeding, as the natural posi>
ton is to reach down and pull up, not
to reach up and pull down. as these hay.
racks make him do. Ia reaching up TO
eat it exposes the foretop, lace and eyes
to seed, craff and diit which on getting
on the head once is liable to get into the
eye at any time. We will speak now of
the abuse that horsemen resort to in
controlling a horse. The worst of all is
in striking him over the head with a
leather strap, your fist, a club or whip.
Shame on a man that would dare to
club over the head the noblest of crea-
ton next to man! But | am sorry to
say we find q great many SO called good
horsemen that take 8 delight in sitting
on their wsgt II seat and irving to see
how close they can send the point of
their cracker to the horses ear, or strike
some particular spot on the. back of the
head, neck or shoulders But my word
for 1t, a man who will practice iris,
comes to grief one or later. Instinct
tells the horse to be careful Of his head,
and especially his eyes, for when they are
gone that ends his seeing, as they can
never be restored or new ones put in, as
we all know. Therefore, never strike a
horse about the head, but on the other
hand be always mild in handling the
head. The number of horses eyes hurt
by slipping the collar over the head
would surprise us all, if known. A
horses head, with q good eye setting
out boldly on a square face, is 3 hard
thing to slip a stiff collar over without
rubbing and bruisiug the eye. Next
we have the stable to contend with, and
it produces more weak eyes than any
other one thing we know of. The gases
arising from the body are ruinous to
the eye. Let a man stand over a pile Of
warm decomposing n and see how
quickly it affects the eyes. But he
never thinks about the horse in his
closely confined stall, with no ventilation
either above or below to carry away this
poison. Set your stables up from the
ground, give ventilation underneath sc
as not to con6ne this gas and compel il
to rise through the cracks in the floor
Also put good ventilation high above
the horses' heads to cause q current o
air to carry off this poison as it gener
ates. Always give the horse plenty o
light, but not through a small hole
make it large 80 as not to condense thu
rays as they come through a small open
ing. Never whitewash a stall, as whit,
is very bad on the eyes. Take a shee
of white paper and hold it up beior
your eyes and see its effects; but you
can turn your head and look away iron
It, while the horse cannot, as he Is tie'
up with q white sheet all around him
Never whitewash q stall, but Away
use blue, as it will never hurt the eyes

Your Maine correspondent asks, "Do
the crows pull your corn up" Having
planted corr more or less for over seventy
years, | answer or myself, they do not
pull up m ne. In 1916 / tound a remedy
that | have used without a single failure
rom that time to This. Slme have pre-
tended nat they applied this remedy,
when it was found that they mistsok
some OF It's essential parts and 1t failed,
They denounced 1t with a single trial,
whereas, il they had seen the operation
performed they would have succeeded,
and would have rated 1t as a God. given
gift. Brother M. says; Never coat
your corn with tar, it renders II imper-
vious to moisture, preventing it from
swelling or sproutiDg," In the next
sentence he acknowledges that was
wrong, or he says it did come up with
the other planting. So it was only a
matter of time, and this no doubt was
caused by too much tar.
My REoIPE-For one peck of corn take
half a pint OF tar, put the tar into q
kettle, turn in three quarts of boiling
water, stir it one minute; this will dis.
solve the tar. AS quick as possible add
the corn, stir it all the time it is in the
water, which may be one minute or pos
sibly a triae more then drain off the
water, add a little plaster Of Paris to the
corn, stirring it well to separate the ker'
nels, SO that it is as good dropping as I'm
prepared corn: then spread it just 50 al
not to heat.
Almost every person, unless he sees i
done, is afraid to use boiling water anc
anything short of that will not cause tn,
tar to adhere properly to the corn. Ant
some have left it in bulk and it heated
preventing termination. Your corr
