MUTTON.

Mutton is better adopted for food for persons
living in the country than beef. Most farmers
are situated far from n market that they cannot
obtain fresh meat TO eat during the summer, when
the hard work in the fields demand m exeellent
diet. They can not prohtabIy dispose Of the hesh
of q steer slaughtered during hot weather, even u
they have an ice house. One quarter Is as large
quantity as even good sized family can con-
sumo before danger Of spelling occurs. IL 10 DIFF

CARE FOR THE SICK.

From the Home and FarR.
Society throughout the United states has adopt.
cd q custom which, though intended 10 exhibit
good feeling, n disposition of charity. aud is in
concord with one Of the commands Of the Savior,
yet IL 10 a custom which can be materially altered
and improved, thereby relieving IL Of many of the
annoy anees, aud increasing its benefits. allude
TO the practice so cOHmon In every kindly dis.
posed neighborhood OF going, as soon the
port yoes abroad, to~isit sck ncighbor, offering
their services, staying around waiting for an OPP
portunity Of showing good will. by assisting in
performing any duty which can be as we'll per
formed by domestic.
Here IL the way the thing works with us Mr..
A., or Mrs. D., or Master Z. Is reported sick. I'm
tncdiately the question goes the rounds, "Did you
hear of Mr.. A. or Mrs. b. Of little e. being sick
Well, he is, and am going down 60 what
can do for him." The second neighbOr tells n
third, and then a fourth aud fifth keep the re-
port circulating until the neishborhood hears of
10. and all feel that IL Is an imperative dGty TO
visit the suffering one and oder services. Each
arrival brings noise and confusion. The patient,
who needs and desires perfect quiet and rest, has
to respond TO each visitor 90 how he feels, and
listen to regrets Of his kind hearted visitors at
finding him down. and all the while in his Utmost
soul wishes to be left alone The good woman Of
the house, whose anxiety Is ever increased by the
tendency Of the husband child 20 grow worse,
also 10 troubled with the cares Of the house, and
knowing that hospitality demands that her vis-
itors must be fed, she finds that Instead Of her
labors being lightened they are multiplied. and
that which under other circumstance would be 4
pleasant task, has become an onerous duty.
The eager visitors who, in the beginning foeked
10 the house Of mourning. in ninety -ninc times in
q hundred feel after or two visits, that they
have done all that custom has required, and cease
coming; and should the case be protracted one
the family find that the tcdium of nursing the
sick Il left TO themselves. and they arc forced 10
resort TO hired nurses. or by inteFeession call
some neighbOr TO assist them.
Now, while do not wish To be understood as

Philadelphia Times,


The crazy project of trying 10 reach
the North Pole by means of balloons
still has its occasional advocates. ITS
originator, Capt. Cheyenne, of the
British navy, has begun series oi
lectures In New York, In order TO en-
list public sympathy in his enterprise.
Cheyenne is a resolute man, who be-
lieves In himself, right or wrong, but
is always sure he Is right. All he
wants 10 demonstrate the correctness
of his theories in balloOnery is the
paltry sum of $l50,000. With this he
will 60 by ship TO within five hundred
miles of the Pole, where evil take
the balloons. Three balloons will
hold his party, including several Es-
quimaux dogs and sledge or two.
The dogs, although unused to balloon
ing, are to go to the Pole in order TO
drag the explorers back on the sledg-
es in case the balloons conclude TO sail
away In 30 ne other direction.
Cheyenne appears to have the most
simple-hearted faith In the existence
of currents which blow exactly the
way he wants them TO. He Is sure
they will wait his balloon over the
unnavigable five hundred miles at the
rate of thirty miles an hour. Instead
Of considering this belief the mere
guess-work that 1t is, he talks as II
he had been amid the Boreas blasts
OF the upper lattitudes all his life and
could find the way to the Pole simply
by sitting in his balloon and being
blown there. He wants to go early la
the spring, and Lieutenant Schwatkn
wants to go with him.
The fact that commander Cheyne has
acquired fame as an Arctic explorer
gives him a right TO detail his expert
ence on the franklin search voyages
and to offer any pleasant theories he
tions Of researches among the bleak
desolations Of the distant North. But
as to the behavior Of balloons, man
is not necessarily wise because he hap
pens 10 be an Artic explorer. It would
be well to be certain that. n balloon
can go ten miles In a given direction
before trying an Arctic voyage Of five
miles with II. After many
experiments, notably those
made by the Minnesota man
who soon found himself lost In the
WOODS, II has been proved that we o..n
not tell for one minute or. one mile
what will be the course Of balloon
after IL has been cut loose. Cheyne's
air ships would be as apt 10 land him
and his dogs In mid-ocean at the
Equator as 70 carry him 70 the Pole.
II would be bad for the Dogs, as their
fur suits adapt them only 10 the high
latitudcs. There II cash In this coun-
try for mining enterprises Of the most
sort and for stock specula-
tons which defy all that IL reason
able. But the. .enterprising Briton viii
find 10 hard TO raise any money here
for ballooning to the Pole.
