A Good Word for Women,

John Ledyard in his Siberian
journal pays the following tri-
butte to the women OF all nations:
81 have observed among all ma
tons that women, wherever
they may be found, are thesame
kind, civil, obliging, humane
and tender beings; that they are
inclined to be gay and cheerful,
timorous and modest. They do
not hesitate like men to per-
form a hospitable or generous
action; not naughty nor super
cilious, but full of courtesy and
of society; industrious, econom-
ical, ingenious; more reliable in
general, more vlrtuous, and per-
forming more good actions than
he can. / never address myself
in the language of decency and
friendship to woman whether
civilized or savage, without re-
ceiving a decent or friendly
answer. With men it has often
been otherwise. In traversing
the barren plains of inhospitable
Denmark, through honest
Sweden, frozen Lapland, rude
and churlish Finland, unprinci-
pied Russia and the wide spread
regions of wandering Tartary,
woman has ever been friendly
to me, and, to add to this virtue,
their actions have been per
formed in SO free and kindly
manner, drank the draught
and eat the coarse morsel with
a relish"

Preservation Of Harness.

Though the harness is an ar
ticle of every day use there are
few who know how to care for
it SO as to insure its durability,
and to keep it looking clean
and neat. A harness that has
been upon a horses back sever
al hours in a hot or rainy day
becomes wet; if not properly
cleaned, the damage to the lea
Their is irreparable. If, after be-
ing taken from the horse in this
condition, it is hung up in a care
less manner traces and reins
twisted into knots; and the sad
die and bride hung askew, the
leather when dried retains the
shape given it while wet and
when forced to its original form
damage is done the stitching
and the leather.
The flrst point to be observed
is to keep the leather soft and
and pliable; this can be done
only by keeping it well charged
with oil and grease; water is a
destroyer of these, but mud and
the saline moisture from the an
imal are-even more destructive.
N Aud, drying absorbs the grease
and opens the pores ofthe leath-
er, making it ready prey to the
water, while the salty character
of the perspiration from the an
imal Injuries the leather, stitch
ing and mounting. 1t therefore
follows that to preserve the har-
ness the straps should be wash
ed and oiled whenever it has
been moistened by sweat or soil
ed by mud. To do this effec-
tually, the straps should all be
unbuckled and detached; then
wash with a little water and
brown soap, then coated with a
mixture of neatsfoot oil and be
allowed to remain undisturbed
until the water is dried out; then
thoroughly rub with a wooden
rag; the rubbing is important,
as it, in addition to removing
the surplus oil and grease, tends
to close the pores and give
finish to the leather. In hang.
ing harness care should be ia
ken to allow all straps to hang |
full length. brides, pads, gig !
and collars should be |
hung upon forms the shape OF !
each |
If a harness is thoroughly !
cleaned twice a year, and when !
unduly exposed treated as we |
have recommended, the leather
Nil retain its softness and IFS |
keugth for many wears.

Advice to a Choir Young Lady.

Deer Miis-This is an important epoch
in your life. The Ist thing to make a gooc
quire singer is TO giggle little.
Put your hair in kirl papers every FRIDAY
mite, soze to have it in good shape Sunday
morning. Eff your daddy is rich you car
buy sum store hair; eff he is very rich yor
can buy sum more and build it high up into
your head; then get high-priced ponne
that runs up very high, at the high part Of it
this will help you to sing high, as soprano
is the highest part.
When the tune is given out, don't pay at.
tention to it, but ask the nearest young man
what it is, and then siggle. Gigg.e good
eel Whisper to the gnl next to you thai
En- Jones, who sits on the grid sect from
the 'front.' from the left hand side, has heI
bonnet trimmed with the same color exact
she had last year, and then put up your
book to your face and giggle. Object to
every tune unless there is solow into it for
the soprano. Golf and hem good deal
before you begin to sing.
When you sing a solow shake your head
like you was tryin to shake the artihshels
off your bonnet, and when you cum to a
high tone brace yourself back little. twist
your head 10 one side and open your mouth
the widest on that side, shut the eye on the
same side jest triphei and then pu; in for
dear life.
When the preacher gifts under hedway
with his preaching, write a note onto the
blank leaf into the fourth part of your note
bock-that's what the blank leaf was made
for; git somebody to pass the note to some
body else, and YOU watch them while they
read it, and then giggle.
If cnybody talks or laffs in the congrcga-
shun, and the preacher takes notis OF it,
that's a good chance for you to giggle, and
you ought to giggle a great deal. The
preacher darsent say anything to you be-
kause YOU arc in the quire, and he can run
the meeting house both ends with the
quire. If you had DO before you went
into the quirc, give him the mitten-you
ought to have somebody better now.
Don't forget to gigglei

Personal Influence.

What is the secret of person.
al influence? Who can tell !?
In a voice at times; in manner
frequently; in the assumption
of infaliibility; in sympathy and
in directness; in opposition and
in a shifting which is quite op-
posed to directness; in broadly
outlined acceptance of your
views with fine shadow of dis
sent which shows you to be
quite right in vague essentials.
but somehow all wrong in indl-
vidual points; in smiles that at
tract confidence and i'll silence
that gives assent; in moral
pose offered as the expression
Of the true character, in the
power Of insinuating impress
sions without committing one
self to L positive statement, and
in the impetus which lies in
laundering assertion, let who
will dispute or disprovc. In all
or any of these things lies the
subtle gift of power which we
call the influence Of a mans
personality; and in none Of
them can VIC find much to lay
hold OF.

The other day muscular young fellow,
having an odor OF the stables about him,
entered Detroit photographers establish
ment and explained that he would like to
have about one photograph taken, but on
learning the price concluded to invest in 9
tin-type. After taking his seat in the chair
he shut up one eye, drew his mouth around
one side, stuck up his nose and patiently
waited for the operator, whose astonish.
ment caused him to exclaim:
''Good gracious! but you don't want tc
look that way to get picture. Nobody
will know you from Sitting Bull"
"You go ahead" was the ply.
"Do you want me to take such phiz as
that 81

The artist took it. It beat Sol Smith
Russell II to pieces and was highly salts

said:
"You see, had a sort Of object in this.
Come here from Allegan county six months
ago-engaged to gal out there-found a
gal here like better-got to sever old ties

But what has that picture got to do with
old ues?" asked the artist.
Lots-heaps! I've writ to her that

ed for life. She's awful proud. When she
gifts this and sees how that explosion wreck

He posted the picture. The letter was

One ofthe plainest indications
of unsuccessful farming is to see
manure going to waste, or un-
employed; when this is seen
there is no need looking beyond
the stables and yards to find out
the condition of the farm, or to
Judge of the success off owner.

A miller of Halliday, ILL.,, who
lost many hogs from cholera,
has found that dry bran, slight

1t. If the hogs refuse to eat it
starve them until they do. An
other farmer claims that if hogs
are given what salt they need in
a clean pasture it will have the
desired effect.
Shade trees are often planted

The Science of Health saws:
Elf farmers would avoid sudden
ly cooling the body after great
exertion, if they would be care
full not to G, with wet clothi- G
and wet feet, and if they would
not overeat when in that ex-
hausted condition, and battle
daily, using much friction, they
would have but little or no rheu-
matism."
Every family finds more or
less bones accommodating; burn
them with your wood, the ashes

valuable of all fertilizers; money

SO fertilize your soil. Bones
thus consumed will quadruple

IN themselves are among the

body, that large draughts inju-
riously distend it; consequently
small quantities at regular in
teryals is the hest rule.

l. is remarkable how large
the independent element in the
Republican party has grown re-
Gently. Men who have been
lifelong adherents to that cause
are every day heard declaring
their intention to vote with the
"othcr side" providing they
make good nomination. The
Democracy should bear in mind
that they have it in their power
to name a ticket at their Nation
al Convention which will most
certainly result in bringing the
independent and untrammclcd
Republicans to their side. Let
there be wisdom and there will
