Tea drinkers nowadays will do well TO ap
ply the following simple test to the tea pur
chased Of their grocers: Turn out the infused
leaves, and if they are found a good brown
color, with fair substance, the tea will be whole
some; but if the leaves are black and of a rot
ten texture, with an oily appearance the tea
will not he fit to drink. The purer the tea, the
more the distinctively Town color of the Leaf
strikes the attention. The mixing that is fire
quently adopted to reduce prices results in the
two kinds OF leaves beng supplied together
1t is important to see that the leaves have tn,
serrated or sawlike edges, without which NJ
tea is genuine.

The Training That Girls Need.

Mrs. Abba Gould Woolson has been
giving Boston some common sense no.
tons about "The Training that Girls
Need In paper read before the
Moral Education Society, she pro-
nounced ill-health luxury which enor-
mously increased the cost of living
She advised mothers to keep their girls
from their own fate, and she asserted
that girls should be made to lead
quiet life on simple diet until they
are fully grown; that they should exer-
else freely in the open air; that house
work should be done by them in care
fully-ventilated rooms; that their dress
should be radically changed, SO that no
longer shall their vital organs be COM
pressed or their hips weighed down
with mass of cloth that no man would
willingly carry. Compliance with these
rules, she believed, would give to the
world nobler, healthier race Of women.
The object of girls mental training
should be, she said, to enable her to
reason, not to till her brain with super
fetal ideas. The processes applied to
womens minds that are now devoted to
the education Of men, she considered,
would bring the same results. She ad-
vised that girls pursue with thorough
ness the disciplinary studies. Next to
this she would place the perceptive fac
ulties, in which woman is now much
more proficient than man. Women
should also be acquainted more or less
intimately with physiology, natura
philosophy, the laws of mechanics.

BENEFITS Of siuglng.

Singing is one Of tie most healthful
exercises Ia which men, women and
children can engage. The medical
Noe1teftsclfJt, CT St. Petersburg, has
al article based upon exhaustive re-
searches made by Prof. nonassein dur
iAs The autumn Of 1878, when he ey-
anlaed 80 singers ranging between
tile ages of . and 53 lie laid chef
weight upon the growth and absolute
circumference Of the chest, upon the
comparative relation Of tic latter to the
talnass Of tie subject, and upon the
rnalnlatometric and spilometric condi-
ton of the singer. IT appears to be an
ascertained fact from DR.. Monassein's
experiments that the relative. and even
tAe absolute, circumference Of chest IL
greater among singers than among those
who do not sing, and that ii increases
with the growth and age Of the singer.
The professor even says that singing
may be placed physically as the antith-
esls Of drinking spirituous liquors.

Start Early.

We do not moan by this to stast early to
tho asld evefy morning, though this 10
important. but we moan start early to the
preparation and planting Of your crop. Tho
ssrly bird catohes tho worm. 10 au old aud
true maxim, but that the carly farmer catches
the seasons ana good crop 10 equally true.
How many mon in this county are behind
two aud three weeks by reason Of late plant
ingf How many ore in tho grass by roason
Of tho same thingf And how many arc now
complaining that the ground, in ten days. has
become too hard to plow because thoy failed
to bed and properly plant their crops, We
Gro satisfied that land rotated every third
year. and properly broken and planted. will
not get hard in three mouths drought.
We arc equally satis6ed that land 80 pre-.
pared will not get foul IN half tho time az
land broken and planted roughly in the
spring. We hear from meuy sections that
tho crops have been hard to tend and that
MANY arc in the grass. not from the weather
surely. aud thoy will soy not from tho failure
to work them, but we will say from tho
failure to properly prepare tho land Land
properly rotated and thoroughly broken and
bedded 10 tho spring will not get hard in
three months Of drought. aud yet we hear Of
persons in the absence Of rain for ton days
who say thotr land, and even bottom land. is
too hard and cloddy to plow. 10 it tho land
or tho farmers We say tho farmor.
Start carly in tho spring, break up your
land thoroughly and then just before planting
time put in your manure. and bed tho land
aud tue crop is half made in labor and two
thirds made in heavy work. 1t is now op.
prossivcly warm, and labor is harder and
moro exhausting than ia the spring. Far
mers who improved tho golden hours Of
March, April and May. sec their crops cleau
and growing rapidly, while those who at the
last momont broke up thoir land in clods and
grass. and planted it III early woods, 8nd it
hard and difficult to tend. Is not this true3
If you want TO succeed mako yoar crops
virtually before tho hot woatber by thorough
preparation Of tho soil and early tillago.
Another drawback, especially to the corn
crop, Is the bud worm. We hear the com,
plant from evory quarter. and yet We never
suffcr from It's rayages. 70 avoid It, break
and plant your bottom corn very early. We
always plant bottom land before upland and
while we knoN' 1t will grow slowly, yet it is
q sure growth. Worms do not trouble it aud
whom warmer weather comes the stalk is too
tough and lady for them. There are but
two ways to avoid the bud worm. one is very
esrly planting. tho other very late planting.
We hear farmers in the spring say we have
planted twenty or thirty acres Of upland in
corn. but we always plant bottom land first.
The frost may nip it. but it will come out and
grow. We venture the assertion that every
farmer who planted his bottom land very
early has comparatively good stand and
that all who prepared aud planted their
cotton land we'll arc free from grass. their
stock fat and their orops assured.
