BANGED HAIR OR IDIOTIC FRINGE.

70 our sight, says an exchange, there is
nothing sadder than sane woman with her
hair banged. A lunatic might be excused
for such erratic style of hair dressing, but
how woman in the full possession of her
faculties can wear her hair banged, is to US a
profound mystery.
From whence the style? What originated
it? Who set it ahoat? Nobody on earth
can say truthfully that it is beautiful. We
have never heard of its curing the liver COM
plaint or the rheumatism. 1t does not render
anyone more liable to draw prize in lot
terry. 1t does not insure the wearer against
being drowned, struck by lightning, or bored
by sewing machine agents.
It does not make tall woman look shorter,
or a short one taller, or fat one leaner, and
if it is becoming to any human face, then the
face has escaped our notice!
1t will metamorphose the prettiest girl OF
our acquaintance into a monstrosity, and tor
its effects on a plain woman may the saints
deliver us from seeing it!
1t sets our teeth on edge! 1t imparts to
the average female face the most discouraged,
woe-begone, done-for- generally expression we
have ever seen-as if the person had played
her last card, got euchred, and was ready to
sell out cheap to first purchaser.
Just imagine Lady Washington with her
hair banged Picture to yourself Joan OF
Arc leading her troops to victory with her
hair banged!
We always commiserate the woman whose
hair is banged. We feel like asking her if
there is anything we can do for her. She
appears to US like woman in trouble. We
speak softly to her as if ordinary tones might
jar her nerves. We wouldn't offer her sub.
scription paper for the world Nor be glad
if anybody trod on the trail of her dress.
We look at her and wonder how she would
seem with that mask taken off her forehead.
Her forehead is to us as profound mystery
as fortune.telling, or psychomancy, or materi-
alization, and we get so full of it that we
would give half dollar to see the fringe
lifted, and see what is under it brought to the
light of day.
We wonder if she admires herself in the
glass? If she thinks bangs are bewitching
If she never wishes she had not cut that hair
of, and so condemned herself to wear her
hair that way, willy nilly? Does her hus'
band admire it? Does he never sneer at ii
behind his newspaper? Does he ever tell hel
he wishes she had as pretty forehead as
Miss Smith Does he ever call her an an.
gel, and think to himself how an angel would
look in bangs?

LUTHER TAUGHT BY HIS WIFE,

Great soul Martin Luther, could believe
and doubt against any man of his time; in be-
lieving he could excel the angels, and in horri-
BILE thoughts of doubling he could almost match
the devils. Great-hearted men are subject to
horrible fits of faintness and despair unknown
to minds of smaller caEbre. One day he fell
so low in spirit that his friends were frighten-
ed at what he might say or do. Things were
going ill with the great cause, and the Re-
former might, in his dreadful condition, have
upset everything. So his friends got him out
must be alone his brain is over worked, he
must be quiet" He rested bit and came
back looking as sour and gloomy as ever. Rest
and seclusion had not stilled the winds nor
lulled the waves. Luther was still in a storm,
and judged that the good cause was ship
wrecked.
I will now give my own version of the meth
cd adopted for the great mans cure. He went
home, but when he came to the door nobody
welcomed him. He entered their best room,
and there sat Catharine, his wife, all dressed
in black, weeping as from death in the house.
BY her side lay mourning cloak, such as la
dies wear at funeral ''Ah p said he, 'Kate,
what's the matter now Is the child dead ?''
She shook her head and said the little ones
were alive, but something much worse than
has befallen us Tell me quick I am sad
enough as it is. Tell me quick" "Good
man, said she, "have you not heard Is it
possible that the terrible news has not reached
you?" This made the reformer the more in
quisitive and ardent, and he pressed to be i'm
mediately told of the cause of sorrow. why"
said Kate, shave you not been told that our
heavenly Father is dead, and his cause in the
world is therefore overturned p'' Martin stood
and looked at her, and at last burst into such
laugh that he could not possibly contain him
self, but cried, 'Kate, read the riddle.
What fool am God is not dead He ever
lives, but I have acted as if he were dead.
Thou hast taught me good lesson. "-Spur-
geOn.

BooK.FARM1NG-There is pressure Of
necessity now for book or scientific farming.
There are rules which must be recognized
and practiced as in any other business.
Every acre now should be made to yield its
utmost product. The man who succeeds now
must study drainage on sytematic plan,
must learn something Of extensive fertilizing,
improved breeds of all sorts of farm animals,
and must apply mechanical ingenuity to
economy of seeds and labor. The farmer
must recognize not only that scientific farm
ing will pay, but also that it is the only sort
of farming that can be made to pay.

WATER FOR Cows.-Very many persons
who own COWS do not seem to realize the me-
cessity of seeing that they have suf6ciency
of water. They will fall off in their milk
unless they have plenty OF clean water within
convenient reach. They will suffer consider
ably from thirst before they will travel long
distance for water, until they become fever
ish they will then drink too much and
this going from one extreme to the other will
affect, unfavorably, the health ofthe COW, and
cause decrease of milk. Milk producing is
all that COWS are kept for, and the supply is
lessened when they have to exert themselves
to procure food or drink

THE ANGELS LADDER.

THE ANGELS LADDEhs
IF there were ladder, mother,
Between the earth and sky,
AS in the days of the Bible,
Iwould bid you all goodbye,
And 20 through every country,
And search from town to town,
Till had found the ladder,
With angels coming down.
Then would wait, quite softly,
Beside the lowest round,
Till the sweetest looking angel
Had stepped upon the ground;
Iwould pull his dazzling garment,
And speak out very plain:
"Will you take me, please, to heaven,
When you 60 back againP''
"Ah, darling" said the mother,
"You need not wander so
To find the golden ladder
Where angels come and 60.
Wherever gentle kindness
Or plying love abounds,
There is the wondrous ladder
With angels on the rounds"
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1879-09-25

ScoyRs IN YOUNG STocK.-When it is
first noticed, it should be vigorously treated.
1t is caused by catching cold, by change of
food, or by the mother having eaten some
thing which acted through the milk unfavor-
ably. The remedy consists in removing the
cause, or else in preventing any bad effects
from it in the future, and then treating the
animal, in mild cases, with well-burnt meal
mixed with milk. Burn the meal in an ordi-
nary pan until a very dark brown and then
mix with milk. If this does not have the
desired effect, make an infusion of white oak
bark and put small quantity in the milk or
mixed feed. Commence with small doses and
increase gradually, if they do not have the
desired effect, until the disorder is stopped.

VERY RIcH.-He had been sitting still 50
long that the mother expected to find him
asleep when she looked around and asked:
"Well, Harry, what are you thinking OFF,
"Ma, are we very rich?'' he solemnly in
quired, by way of reply.
"In one way we are" she said; "your faith
er says he values me at three million dollars,
you at two millions, and the baby at one."
That closed the conversation on that SUBJ
ject, but next morning, as Harry was getting
on his overcoat, he examined the new patch
which had been added, and coolly obervered !:
"Well. I think father had better sell off
about half Of you or the whole of the baby,
and get the rest of us some decent duds to
nut on"

A MILLION OR NorHfNG.-A good-natured
looking young man of twenty FIVE, accompa.
MED by modest.appearing young woman of
about the same age, evidently his wife, and
just made so, recently called upon an in
surance agent to see about insuring her life.
After some preliminary conversation, the
agent inquired what sum they had in mind.
81 want her insured for at least million
dollars!" promptly replied the husband, as he
reached over and patted her on the head.
The agent figured up the premium, and stated
the. amount. The wife turned pale as death,
the husband lost pound of flesh minute.

thousand dollar suggested the agent.

A SYMpATHIz1NG MAN.-The other day,
car stopped for lady, she did not readily
find seat, the car being crowded and the
aisle full. A man who was riding on the plat
form put his head into the door and called
out:
Here! some o'.you men give this lady a
seat. She's got on cotton stockings and her
summer hat, and is almost froze to death |"
The man told the truth, and the lady Sc
cured seat, but the glance she bestowed on
her sympathizing friend would have turned
honey sour.

CURE FOR MANGE.-When eur pigs were
about four months old, we gave the six two
tablespoonfuls of sulphur per day, for three
days; then skipped three days and repeated
the doses, in the interim making thorough
application of lard and sulphur to the sur
face, and now we believe the cure is effected,
as two months have since elapsed and they
are still clean and nice. The dog was afflict-
ed with the mango, too. We treated him in
the same manner, giving a teaspoonful of
sulphur at dose, and he is cured.-Rural
