More COnveniences.

We ask. every farmer, the first half
day of rainy or idle time, to sit down
and seriously inquire of himself if there
are not many cOnveniences needed
about house, barn, cribs and stables
which he could easily and cheaply con-
struct. Contine this investigation not
entirely to conveniences for himself,
but extend it to all departments
the wife, daughters, sons and hired
help. Do you wade through mud to
the barn in rains and in thaws of the
spring? How easily this could be
obyiated by gravel or plank walks.
Are the members of your family ex-
posed to the same Inconvenience in
going TO the well, the smokchouse, the
water closet, the chicken house, or even
to the front gate? And yet some peo-
pie think you are a good husband and
father. How are the steps to 90 into
yonr cellar? Are they in good order,
and are the steps of the proper height
for your over burdened wife to descend
or ascend easily? Is the wood house
distant and inconvenient, or have you
no such convenience, leaving your
family to dig the wood from the snow
in winter, or uSA it dripping with water
= For For feeling watering the stock,
is it as convenient and labOr-saving as
it could be? The main cribs should be
distance from the barn and stables,
but for convenience for feeding there
should be place near the horses for a
load OF two of corn and oats for feed
ing. There should be easy and safe
ladders for ascending mows or stable
lofts. Men AID boys are seriously in
jured for life by pulling themselves up
by their arms several times per day.
There should be corner for bedding
for horses, and q trap-door for dropping
it down behind the horses. If this is
not the case, the difficulty of obtaining
it in bad weather deprives the horses Of
this comfort when they need it most.
Every farm should have a wheelbarrow
which any handy man can make him
self. A hand-truck is convenient for
hauling heavy articles, such as bags of
grain, moving stoves fall and spring,
and hundreds Of other purposes. A
light but strong skid for loading and
unloading salt barrels, ETC., can be
made on a wet or leisure day, should
be in convenient place, and handy
when demanded. A rack should be
made in the most public room of the
barn for hanging up forks, SCOOP
shovel, spades, idle halters, etc. And
thus, if the farmer will repair to his
barn and spend otherwise idle time in
planning conveniences, he will find he
has no such time to hang heavily on his
hands. And these conveniences will
make life pleasanter, the family hap
pier, and home the best place to stay.

mankind is believed to be one death q

to compare the length Of human exist

seconds are of the life Of man. The
period embracing the history of the hui
man race hardly equals two minutes of
the vast age through which the earth
will endure from the beginning to the

my lead Prof. Vaughan to believe that
q possible age of five hundred billions
Of years may be attained by world.
It seems most probable that when
the earth falls into the sun, it will be
in the form of innumerable meteoric
fragments rather than as one gigantic
meteor. As the shower of terrestrial
matter rushes through the solar ut
mosphere, the sun will blaze out into a
glow such as astronomers have wit
messed and wondered at in remote
stars; and the earth will have passed
away, with no more effect on the in
habitants of those distant orbs whence
the light may be viewed than similar
spectacles have produced upon us.
The contemplation of a tinality like
this, however far removed. naturally
leads to reflection upon the fate of hui
mainly which it involves, And the
thoughts thus induced are scarcely sat
isfactory unless one can say, with
Campbell Last Man:
This spirit shall return to Him

Finger Nails.

HARDLY any personal popularity is
more noticeable or more indicative of
character than the finger nails. There
are some who believe that palmistry,
or the reading of the character from
the hand, can be reduced to science.
just as much as phrenology If so, it
would necessarily be an obscure science
to the majority Of people, but the signs
of character indicated by the finger
nails may be read by all with little
study.
In the first place, the shape of the
nail is very significant. The slender,
tapering nail, of q rosy-pink hue, with
a shell-lik transparent edge, is always
the accompaniment of a refined nature
Broad, stubby nails, of yellowish-
white color, and with opaque, muddy
looking edges, indicate natural coarse
ness, though they often accomuan,
great good nature while the other va
riety as frequently goes with a sharp
shrewish temper.
The care OF the nails is one of the
most revealing marks of personal hab-
its, and one of the most important of
the minor operations of the toilet

addition Of a little borax and really fine
toilet soap. In we'll brushed and we'll
|; cared.for nails, the little curtain-likc
rim which surrounds them is well
pushed or rolled back, displaying gen.
orally delicate little crescent at the
root. The skin of the finger should
never be allowed to grow upon the
nail. In pairing and trimming the
shape given should always be as long
and oval as possible. TO cut nail
square off gives the finger end q stubby
look. The corners should be carefully
and closely cut, and the center left
rather long, so as to give the long oval
shape. In cleaning the nail, the knife
should never scrape Oft the inner sub
stance of the nail, as this renders the
edge muddy and Opaque in appearance,
whereas it should be transparent. The
nail is susceptible to a high degree Of
polish by rubbing with the towel when
driving the hands.
The habit Of biting the nails is one
against which children should be care
fully guarded. It is ruinous to the
very structure Of the nail, and once &C
quired is one Of; the most difficult hab-
its to break. This is evinced BY the
fact that some men and women, but
more especially men, have q habit Of
biting their nails when reading OF
studying, Of which they are perfectly
unconscious. Not few lawyers and
clergymen occur I, mind whose nails
are almost deformity as q result Of
this habit st. Louis Post. B.

The Anleer Of Cabul.

AN English correspondent gives the
following description of the Ameer of
Cabul. I first met Shere Ali, the pres
ent Ameer of Cabul, in March, 1869.
He was then about fifty years of age,
of middle stature, with marked aqui-
line features and with fine, soldierly
bearing. Shere Ali struck me as man
of remarkably good common sense,
and his powers of conversation were
very great. During his stay at Pesha-
wur, both on his way to Umballa and
on his return to Cabul, he held daily
levees, and spent most of his time in
friendly interviews with the Europeans
and natives who visited him. In his
heightened conversation with European
visitors with whom he always took
tea), he eFinced very correct ac-
quaintance with the leading facts of
European history. This was all the
more notable because he was unable to
read or write, and had acquired his in
formation from conversations with
those of his attendants who were able
to read; and special clerk, acquaint-
ed with English, has always been kept
ut Cabul to translate articles and
kilograms from the Indian newspapers
found he knew much of the history OF
Napoleon l., Peter the Great, Alexan-
der. and even Alfred the Great. His
favorite character was Napoleon, and
on no account would he yield the palm
to our Wellington.
His sense of humor was very great.
~ know / am SAVAGE" he said, one
day, "but you English were just as bad
three hundred years ago!' Once, when
he was unusually talkative, he said,

are of the Russians!'' mot in the

he said, if you were not afraid of the
Russians you would not make so much

pressed with the beauty of English la
dies. and several times remarked, as he
passed them: (" All! l see you keep all

quently expressed his adherence OF
lOw-necked dresses and short-tailed
coats, and said such advances in the
scale of civilization were contrary to
his religion, for they were forbidden BY
the Prophet! He protested to be de.

empty bottles told of frequent depart.

religion, and when at Jalander, where
he was received in the most friendly
manner by Sir u. Forsyth, he did moi

Impure Pump Water as q Source of
DiAeASe.

In some remarks yesterday in this column
sustaining our health officer in his action In
inspecting the sanitary condition OF the city
wells and condemntng such as were found to
be tainted by sink and sewer drainage, refer
ence was made to the result OF similar 1nspec-
ton OF the wells In Baltimore. 1t appears from
the Baltimore Sun of to-day that in an inter-
view between Health officer Steuart and Mayor
Latrobe in regard to the health OF Baltimore,
DR.. Steuart stated to the mayor "that In his
opinion much OF the sickness which does exist
In the city had been caused By persons using
impure pump water, about which there has
been such agitation for several months. He
advised the closure OF all these pumps and the
erection OF sufficient number OF fountains to
supply the people who depend upon them for
water. The mayor requested that the health
commissioner address written communication
on this subject, and he would lay 1t before the
water board at its next meeting
What is true OF the pumps OF Baltimore Is
doubtless true Of the pumps of Washington,
and our health officer Is quite right In keeping
close watch upon their condition
