Take Care Of the Tools.


A tool room is one of the most
necessary of all faran buildings, and
in it should be a place for all kinds
of tools from moving machine
down through the numberless vari-
cites necessary to the successful OPP
erations on our farms. In no one
thing is there greater neglect than
in the care of tools. How common
it is to see moving machines, carts,
wagons, plows and harrows stand
ing out OF doors beside fences from
early spring to late autumn, and
sometimes all the year. l have in
mind an instance where Eot Two
weeks ago saw a moving ma
chine, q harrow. two or three wag
ons and many other tools, left be
side the road near the buildings
and this where the farm operations
were active. To say that the sur
were very untidy would
be a mild description.
Fer the most economical cultiva
ton of our farms there ought to be
a complete set of tools. Having
obtained a good article, take good
care of it. No matter what 1T is,
do not attempt to accomplish any
work with a tool for which it is not
designed. Never attempt to NOV
brush with hoe or dig q post hole
with an axe. Not that il cannot be
doue, but il done it will be at the
expense of the implements When
you have done using any tool. clean
it, carry il 20 the tool house and
put in its place ready for use at
some other time. Make this an in
rule with all help and hold
them responsible for any tool, if il
is not done. Every farmer would
DC astonished in the saving of time
and labor, to say nothing of the
saving of annoyance, if this rule
vas strictly enforced, and in no
way can this be done so well as by
example OF the farmer himself Do
lot let the boys catch you neglect

Useful, if not New.

The following simple rules for
preserving health and promoting
personal comfort, if not new to
some of our readers, are none the
less important to every one:
The object of brushing the teeth
is to remove the destructive parti-
cles of food which, by their decom-
position, generate decay. To neu-
trslize the acid resulting from this
chemical change is the object OF
dentifrice. A stiff brush should be
used once every day, and a thread
of silk floss or India rubber passed
through between the teeth to re-
move PARTICLES of food. Rinsing
the mouth in lime water neutralizes
the acid.
Living and sleeping in a room an
which the sun never enters is slow
form of suicide. A sun bath is the
most refreshing and life giving bath
that eau possibly be taken.
Always keep the feet warm and
thus avoid colds. To this end never
sit in damp shoes or wear foot GOV
erings fitting and pressing closely.
The best time to eat fruit is hall
an hour before breakfast.
A full bath should not be taken
less than three hours after a meal
Never drink cold water before bath
ing. Do not take a cold bath when
tired.
Keep a box of powdered starch
on the wash stand, and, after wash
ing, rub pinch over the hands. 1t
will prevent chapping.
If feeling cold before going to
bed, exercise, do not roast over a
fire

Farmers Daughters.


Farmers daughters are soon to be
the life as well IS the pride of this
country-a glorious race of women,
which no other land can show. j
seek not to hatter them; for before
they can become this they VIII have
TO make an earnest effort Of one or
two things. There are some who
deprecate their condition, and some
who have false pride in it, be-
cause they demand more considera
tion than they merit. A wasn't OF
intelligence upon all the subjects OF
the day and Of a refined education is
no more excusable in s country than
IN a townbred girl, in these days Ot
many books and periodicals. Many
girls are discouraged because they
cannot be sent away from home TO
boarding sch 0ols; but men of supe
rior minds and knowledge of the
world would rather have for wives
women well and properly educated at
home. And this education can be
bad when the desire is not wanting.
A taste for reading does wonders,
and an earnest thirst after knOwl-
edge is almost certain TO attain q
sweet draught from the "Pierisn
Spring."-[Ohio Farmer.

What Iowa Girls are Taught


St Paul Pioneer Press: At the
Iowa Agricultural College every
girl in the Junior class has earned
how to make good bread. weighing
and measuring the ingredients,
mixing, kneading and baking, and
regulating her fire. Each has also
been taught to make yeast and bake
biscuit, pudding, pies, cake of vari
Gus kinds; how to cook a roast.
broil a steak and make Il fragrant
cup of coffee; how to stuff and
roast turkey. make oyster soup,
prepare stock for other soups,
steam and mash potatoes so that
they will mash in the mouth,
and in short to get up first
meal, combining both substantial
and fancy. dishes, in good style
Theory and manual skill have gone
hand in hand. Vast stores of
learning have been accumulated In
the arts of canning, preserving and
picking fruits, and they have taken
practical lessons in all the details of
household management, such as
house furnishing, care of beds and
bedding, washing and ironing, care
of the sick, care of children, etc. The
girls, we are informed, are also thor
oughly grounded in science, math
ematics and English literature; but
this is of slight moment compared
with the foregoing catalogue of
virtues. If there is anything that
challenges the unlimited respect
and devotion of the masculine mind
it is ability in woman to order well
her own household Each one of
these charming Iowa girls, it is safe
to say, will marry within six weeks
after graduation.

Love of Flowers.


In all countries women love flow
ers; IN all countries they form nose
gays of them, but it is only in the
bosom. of plenty that they conceive
the idea of embellishing their dwell
ings with them. The cultivation of
flowers among the peasantry indi
Gates a revolution in all their feel
ings. 1t is delicate pleasure that
makes its way through coarse or
gans;. it Is a creature whose eyes
are opened; 1t Is a sense OF the
beautiful, faculty of the soul that
is awakened; colors, forms, odoIs
are all perceived for the first time,
and these charming Objects have at
length spectators. Those who have
travelled in the country, can testify
that a rose tree under the window,
4 honeysuekle around the door of
cottage, Is a good omen to weary
traveller. The hand that cultivates
flowers is not closed against the
applications of the poor, nor
against the wants of the stranger.
Flowers may be called the alphabet
of the angels, wherewIth they write
On hills and plainsmysterious truths.

4 Young Hero.

Nearly thirty years ago a boy
who hsd given his heart To Christ
Joined the Church and partook OF
the Lords Supper with the older
people.
The next day he went TO school,
and at recess some of those boys,
who carry the blood of old Cain in
them, formed a ring around him
and cried out:
20, here is a boy Christian
What did this boy do? Get mad,
kick, strike, or say angry words2
Not at all. He quietly looked the
hooking boys in the face and said:
"Yes, boys, I'm trying to be 8
Christian boy. Isn't that right?''
His tempters knew he was right
and felt ashamed. They broke up
the prosecuting ring and went to
play with the brave young Chris
tian. call him brave because
there are many men who could
easier storm a battery than stand to

LADIES COLUMN.
HAHoLINE HARoLD, EDIroR.
The Female wallhower.

In all social assemblies there is

plain girls who are accustomed u,

typical wallfiower is the girl who ia
uncompromisIngly plain, hopelessly
dowdy and thoroughly resigned
She enters the room defeated, and
she instinctively goes at once and
occupies the spot which she is to
retain for The rest of the evening,
instead of letting her gaze wander
brightly around the room, she keeps
it fixed on the floor, lest any one
should suppose her looking out for
partners.
Now, all this is very foolish, and
proves that she has no tact nor
managing talent. The girl who has
got 1t never remains q wallhower

and conquers. Let a girl only know
now TO enter a bail room as on,
who is accustomed to receive atten-
ZION, and she receives it. 1t is hu-
utility, timidity, fear of failure that
goes TO the wall.
The thing is TO have the proper
air-the air of knowing what you
are about; the air of self-assertlon,
and the battle is won. Now and
then a couple of single wall flowers
combine, and make the best of the
by cheerily discussing
that interests them both.
This is good policy as well as
good sense. Talk brightens up
every face, and as soon as the
girls are seen chatting meIrily
not only do they look bet
ter for it, but they wear an air of
conspiracy which piques the other
sex, and prompts them to put an
end to it by asking one at least to
dance. No girl of sense and cour
age need not remain a so-called
wall flower long.

Small Loans.


Nashville Banner: The Govern

eft of working men. Bonds of ten
dollars and upwards can now be
