A Clean Skin.

Most of our invalids are such, and
many healthy people will become in
valids, for want of paying the most
ordinary attention to the requirements
of the skin. The membrane is too Of
ten regarded as covering only instead
of . complicated piece Of machinery,
scarcely second in its texture and sensi-
tiveness to the ear and the eye. Many
treat it with as little reference to its
functions as if it were only bag for
their bones. It is this reconsideration
for the skin that is the cause of q very
large proportion of the disease of the
world. 1. is claimed by some scientists
that four-fifths in the bulk of all we eat
and drink must either pass off through
the skin or be turned back upon the
system as a poison, and life depends as
much upon these exhalations through
the skin as inhaling pure air throug
the lungs; it must therefore be of vital
importance to keep the channel free.

Secure Good Seeds.

So far as possible farmers should save
their own seeds and not only avoid the
expense of buying, but secure seed of
good quality and true to name. The
seed which ripens earliest thould be SO.
cured, and vegetables and flowers when
seeding should not be neglected and
allowed to be blown about upon the
ground and drenched and injured by
rains. Such plants should be staked
and carefully tied up. The earliest and
best developed cucumbers, squashes,
melons, etc., should be selected for
their seeds, and these seeds are best
preserved by remaining in the old Gu
cumbers, ETC., through the winter and
kept in dry place secure from rats
and mice. The best place to preserve
turnip, cabbage, and in fact ali seeds,
is in the mother shell. The farmer well
knows that his unshelled corn, peas,
beans, ETC., always come up best. Cut
the stalks when the seeds are sufficient
ly ripe and tie them in punches, then
put q paper around the tops. secured by
q string, to catch any seeds that may
fall out of the bolls or pods, and hang
them up in secure place until wanted
in the spring. There is no reason why,
under such circumstances. every per-
feet seed should not germinate, and the
germs will be healthy and strong. The
best AID earliest ears of corn should be
selected for seed. and to insure this,
they should be selected while the corn
il still standing. Go through the field
and look out forthe long ears, well filed
out, and when the husks begin to whiten
gather them. pull back the husks and
braid them into traces which hang in .
dry place. BY carefully following out
this plan through series Of years the
same variety of corn will ripen earlier,
IN important advantage in localities
subject to early frosts. It requires time
and care to look cut for these things,
but it il tir,e well spent and labor that

While removing the debris after a
blast at the silver mine in Indiantown
Gap, Pa, in the solid rock at depth OF
seventy-nine feet below the surface was
found a nest of three snakes of an ap-
parently unknown species. They were
about . foot in length, black as jet on
the back, light gray on the under sur
face, and as Distinguishing mark each
one had directly back of the head, ex-
tending around the entire body, we'll
marked and distinct ring or collar OF
bright yellow. They were killed by the
miners as soon as found, as they seemed
vicious, and coiled to strike.

While at the penitentiary recently,
the attention of Herald reporter was
called to tall boy who was in the pris-
on yard engaged in putting potatoes
into the bins. There is a boy" said
Superintendent Spaulding, "who can
add up column Of figures quicker than
you can" The reporter was not in
clined to deny the statement, but, after
q little talk in relation to the boy, he
was brought in and long column of
figures placed before him. when he sat
down the answer with rapidity which
would have done credit to Barnum's 8
lightning calculstor. He was tried on
several examples OF this kind, with like
success. If he stands before a black
board and another person puts down a
column of figures he is ready with the
answer when this last figure is placed in
its position. This boy is fearfuily cross
eyed, and. wien he is bending over the
paper working out problem he pre-
sents a comicsl appearance. The boy
appears to be about seventeen years OF
age. He says that he has no system"
for his work, tlit that it is q "gift." !"
He was sent up feom Manlius as . tramp,
and says his true name is James Nolan,
better known ax Jimmy the Boot
black" as that was his profession which
he followed bafore being sent to the
penitentiary. He is subject to fits, and
has had several attacks since he was
sent up. He has peculiar, drawling,
monotonous voice, and is far from be-
ing level headed. and when not feeling
well sometimes makes mistakes, al

TRAP FOR SHEEP KILLING DoGs.-The
Lynchburg Virginian describes an ingen-
ious trap devised by Virginia farmer to
capture sheep killing dogs. Having suf-
fered severely from the depredations of
dogs upon his sheep-fold, he built around
a number OF sheep that dogs had killed
an inclosure of rails twelve feet high and
about ten feet square at the ground. the
sides of the trap sloping inward until an
opening was left about five feet square.
Any dog could easily climb such slop-
ing fence and enter the pen, but not
even a greyhound could jump out of it;
In three nights the farmer captured AZ
dogs, including fifteen or twenty that had
never been seen in that neighborhood-
this, after there had been a public
slaughter of all the dogs suspected OF
sheeping killing, save one, whose owner
could not be convinced of his guilt. The
trap was built for his especial benefit,
and it caught him the first night.
