Comfort at Home.

There is a good deal OF humbfg,
says the Indianapolis Herald, in this
modern notion that everybody must
leave home for somewhere or other
each summer. 1t is well enough
for those who really have the mon
ey it costs to spare, because they
will be benefited bv getting away
from business to the lakes, or sea-
shore, or mountains for a snort
time, but the foolishness is on the
part of those who, obliged to stay
at home, are constantly fretting and
worrying over their hard lot and
making themselves unhappy when
they have no occasion to be so.
The fact is they can make them
selves very comfortable at home If
they only try to do so; indeed.
many very sensible people are firm
ly of the opinion that home is the
very best place TO be in hot weather
And when it comes to mothers tug
ging two or three young children
around with them and undertaking
to keep them constantly encased in
dresse of immaculate white, be-
sides making their own elaborate
toilets, as required at any place of
fashionable resort, the chances are
very generally in favor of chose la
dies coming home much more tired
and worn out than when they went
away. If those who are not situa-
ted so that they can well leave
home, instead of brooding over the
tancied pleasures of q trip to the
springs or the seaside, will only try
to be as comfortable and easy as
possible at home, they will find that
it is possible to be quite contented
and happy. There are many sim
pie sources of enjoyment they can
avail themselves of, such as riding
or walking in the evening. spending
an occasional day with the children
in the woods, eating ice cream,
drinking lemonade, etc., and if they
will not work too hard and will
keep themselves in a jolly good hu-
NOR, the calorifc days will glide
sweetly and pleasantly by and they
will come out of the fiery ordeal
as did Shadrac and his companions.

Artiehokes.-The testimony in
favor of the artichokes as a food
for hogs is too ample for any doubt
about it. It viii grow to advan

where corn is often grown for %

selves II can be planted in the
spring or fall. The spring is the
time. But if the ground is broken
up and the large tubers are cut like
potatoes and planted or small ones
planted whole, they will come up
regularly in the spring and should
be plowed and worked like young
corn. Two plowings VIII answer
for the crop. Plant in hills 3 feet
by 3 or in drills 81 feet between the
rows and 2 feet apart in the rows.
The yield, on pretty good land, is
from 500 to $50 bushels. Some
western farmers say they will fat

other food but the usual plan is to
add corn for q short time before
killing.

Farm and Home.
AND USEFUL INFORMATION.
Split the Plantations.

Boston Herald: The Southern
States will never grow great and
strong till the plantation system is
exchanged for the Northern system
of small farms. The prosperous
hill parishes of Louisiana, farmed
by white men, show the advantages
OF little farms well titled over huge
and half cultivated Plantations
Perhaps the examples offered by
the State of Maryland are even
more likely to arrest the attention
OF intelligent Southerners. There
are counties in Maryland which at
ter the war were burdened down
with debt and an industrial system
which is only paralleled in some OF
the gulf States. In process of time
circumstances compelled the divis
ion of the plantations into farms,
and the result has been a wonderful
increase of wealth, q general liqul-
dation of debt, and a gratifying So
cial Improvement.

An Improvement.


We are pleased to note the change
people have made in the matter OF
swathing their children's necks. a
few years a9o the error of hugging
a boy or girls neck with comfort
er or scarf was general, but now a
days we don't often see it; the feet
and wrists are the proper members
to keep warm; the face and throat
viii harden into healthy indiffer-
ence to cold; but that muller ex-
changed for an extra pair of thick
socks and knitted gloves would
keep q boy or girl really warm and
well. Bronchitis and sore throat
have declined so per cent. since the
absurd use of high collars and
twice around neckerchiefs went
oIt of fashion; and if the poor
would take better care of their chill
dren's feet, half the infautile NOR
tally would disappear. 1t only
costs n tritie to put piece of thick
felt or cork into the bottom of a
boot or shoe, but the difference is
often considerable between that and
a doctors bill, with perhaps the I'M
dertaker's besides Science of
Health.

3 Plea fer the Children.

We again make oar summer

bI ethren to do what they can by ex-
amples In their own families, and
by their counsels without, to pro-
tect these little ones during July
and August days from being smoth-
cred by the pomps and vanities and
misdirected kindnesses of the good
mothers In this wicked world. Com
fort them at both ends-take OF
their hats and take away their
shoes, if not in public, at least at
home. 1t will improve the growth
of their locks and the shape of their
feet. Preach the abomination of

The Hog Cholera.

Reports from Iowa Indicate thai
the hog cholera still RACES there
that the ravages already made have
reduced the crop much below its
general average, and the end is not
yet. 1t is now claimed that the
disease is caused by a fungi which
attaches itself to the corn-espe-
cially when it is cultivated on a
large scale. 1t has been demon
strated that it is the cause of q
frightful malady which prevails
among the corn eating population
of upper Italy, aad in Hungary
and the southeast of France. 1t
makes its first appearance IN form
resembling leprosy, which attacks
the face. neck, hands, and all parts
of the body exposed to the sun.
Then follow dizziness, commissions
and death. 1t is fast becoming as
deadly and as destructive as the
pleuro-pneumonia has been in Eu-
rope among cattle, and, unless some
sure remedy is discovered, viii ruin
the hog trade in that section.

Politeness.

PUliteness costs nothing. 1t is
just as easy to be polite as gruff and
bearish. No one Is more benefited
by true courtesy than the business
man, whether that courtesy is exer-
cised by himself or his subordi-
mates. We know of some establish
ments from which reliable custom
ers have repeatedly been driven,
never to return, simply because
statesmen and saleswomen have
failed in the courtesy appropriate
to their positions On the other
hand, we know of many business
places which are continually filed
with customers, simply because the
attendants, as well as principals, are
polite and attentive, and seemingly
DESTROYS of pleasing. Depend upon
it. nothing pays better than polite
ness III business.

Farm Notes.

Sheep, owing to their shyness,
should be treated with great Kind
ness. Their treatment should be
such that they will actually learn
to entertain affection for their keep
ers.
A little dry sand covered over
potatoes when they are first put in
the cellar will destroy any uDpleas-
ant odor they may have. A sprink
ling of dry, air slaked lime will
mitigate tendency to rot.
Cows should never be pastured
with pigs, sheep, geese or chickens.
They all render the grass offensive
to the neater animal. The horse
can pasture with neat cattle.
1t is supposed that eating rich
clover pasture wet with due or re
cent rains is dangerous to cows, as
producing bloat. But when dry
there Is but little danger, if the
cows are not too hungry and IN
used to such food.

Our Young People
MADE UP FROM THE BEST CLIPPINGS.
Advice to a Young Man.

And then remember, son, that
the world is older than you are, by
several years; that for thousands Of
years it has been so full of smarter
and better men than yourself that
their feet stuck out of the dormer
windows; that when they died the
old globe went whirlIng on, and not
one man in ten million went to the
funeral or even heard of the death.
Be as smart as you can, of course.
Know as much as you can without
blowing the packing out of your
cylinder heads; shed the light of
your wisdom abroad in the world,
but don't dazzle people with it.
And don't imagine thing so
simple because you say it is. Do
not be too sorry for your father be-
ause he knows so much less than
you do. Remem Der the reply of
DR.. Wayland to the student of
Brown University, Who said it was
an easy enough thing to make pro-
verbs such as Solomon wrote.
MAKE few tersely replied the
old man. And we never heard that
the young man made any. Not
more than two or three, anyhow.
The world has great need of young
men, but no greater need than the
young men have of it. Your clothes
fit you Better than your fathers fit
him. They cost more money: they
are more stylish. Your mustache
is neateI; the cut of your hair is
better. and you are prettier, oh, far
prettier than pa" but, young man,
the old gentleman gets the biggest
salary, and his homely, scrambling
signature on the business end of
check will drain more money out of
the bank in five minutes, than you
could get out with ream of paper
and copper plate signature in SIX
months. Young men are useful,
son, and they are ornamental, and
we all love them, and we couldn't
engineer picnic successfully with
out them, but they are no novelties,
son. Oh. no, nothing of the kind.
They have been here before. Don't |
be so modest as to shut yourself |
clear out, but don't be so fresh you |
will have to be put away in the cool
to keep from spelling. Don't be
afraid that your merit will not be
discovered. People all over the
world are hunting for you, and if
you are worth finding they will find
you. A diamond isn't so easily
found as quartz pebble, but peo-
pie search for it all the more IN
-ently.

Group Powders.

Three grains of calomel, one.
tenth of grain of tartaremetic
These IL a severe case are to be
given every hour; when the disease
seems somewhat relieved, every two
hours. In Group the very first
symptom (hard, ringing cough
should be attended to. Let the
throat be well rubbed with some
volatile liniment. Sometimes fan
mel wrung out of hot water and APP
piled very warm to the throat, re-
peating the application of fresh
fannels as they become cold, has a
fine effect. An emetic should be
given Immediately, and the Group
powders administered if the disease
does not yield Never neglect the
Group. Taken early 1t is easily
neglected, almost always
fatal. Remedies should be kept on
hand in some convenient place in
every family where the children are
at all constitutionally liable to
Group. Alum pounded up very fine
forms a good emetic.

that Thou shouldst aid me to con-

been if reared with a servant at
their command, ready at all times

pertains to the art of housekeeping,

girls OF TODAY are better educated
than their mothers were. They
have learned to work for them

Lime-water is handy thing" to
have in the house. Pour water
over unslaked lime (the quality is
not important, as only a certain
amount will be siaked), and cork
up for use. A spoonful of clear
liquid stirred into milk, cream or
bread sponge in danger of souring,
will prevent that catastrophe. 1t
also cleanses bottles, ETC., that have
an unpleasant odor. A person who

How Wealth is Accumulated.

AS q rule wealth is the result o.

the result of idleness, extravaganza
and inattention to business, though
to these rules there are thousands
of exceptions. The man who has
wasted his time, who has thrown
away his opportunities, is apt to
envy the man who has not. For
instance, here are six shoemakers
working in one shop. One of them
attends to his business; you can
hear the music of his hammer late
and early. He is In love, it may be,
with some girl on the next street;
be has made up his mind to be a
man to make somebody else happy,
to have q home; and while he is
working, in his Imagination, he caa

falling upon the faces of q wife and
