WHY THEY CLOSED UP.

Among the troops in Western Vir-
ginia, stories about the Philippi affair
formed a staple of conversation. Here
is one of the best:
A certain Indiana company, almost
worn out with marching, was struggling
along with very little regard to order.
Hurrying up his men, the Captain
shouted, "Close up. boys! On you.
close up! II the enemy were to fire on
you when you're struggling along that
way, they couldn't hit d-n one Of

Oxerworked Farmers.

At this season of the year when the
cultivation and harvesting of farm crops
claim the constant attention of farmers,
and when excessive heat makes hard
work so depressing, there is danger
from overwork with the ambitious lar
mer, who has his entire mind on the
safety of his crops. Probably one
half of the farmers of our country work
too hard for the good oftheir health, and
very often it is entirely unnecessary.
Farmers who have number OF work
men under their supervision can usual
" accomplish nearly Is much by their
minds as by their hands, and with less
fatigue. There is much in the man
agement of farm laborers, and to direct
ones hands so as to accomplish the
greatest amount of work in the least
time is one of the secrets of Successful
farming. The farmer who tolls inces-
sanity through the day in the hot sun,
or perhaps in the rain, besides doing
chores morning and night, finds little
pleasure in life. And he realizes hess too,
from his labor than he expects. A
more successful farmer will hire his
hard work done, and keep himself fresh
and vigorous, and his hands en-
couraged by performing less work him
self and directing and showing others.
In every large business where laborers
are hired, a person is needed whose
chief business il is to plan, lay ont and
direct work, and it holds true as much
on farm as in q machine shop, car
rage mandatory or store. A great
fault with farmers is, that they have
too little system about their business.
More thought and less hard labor will
do wonders on some farms, and the
owners would reap the reward in great
er freedom and more happiness.

The YELLOW CART.
SEINE OF the Asonies OF Fashions La
test Canrice.

teSt Caprtce.
Tie fashionable girl now distin-
guishes herself by wearing a yellow cart.
1t might be more correct to say that the
yellow cart wears the fashionable girl,
or that they wear each other. Anyhow,
she may be seen in great numbers in
Central Park, riding In tive wheeled
vehicle in considerable bodily anguish
The cart is q clumsy little box hung
very low between the wheels, add usual
ly attached to q horse ungainly gait.
Eyerystep of the brute HOSTS and dips the
box fore and aft, like a boat in a chop
ping sea. His sligbtess movement Is
felt by the girl. His regular strides
make her conSOnantly sway forward and
back; when he switches off a fly with
his tale she is thrown nearly OF her
balance; when he sneezes she Ii put
into lively commOtion; when he SHES
or stumbles she has to employ the skill
of circus rider to save her
self from being thrown overheard.
The four-wheeled vehicles formerly
used were comfortable. But what Of
that Fashion SAYS we must use two
wheels only; and suppose If fashion
ordered us TO ride on q bicycle hitched
to horses tail we'd try to do it. 1 am
bound to say that, under the exasperat-
ing circumstances, most girls are able
TO do very we'll with cart.
A man in a cart regarded as an OBJ
iect of pity. He was usually ashamed
OF his position to begin with, and show
ed it in his sheepish manner. He was
in ninety-nine cases out of hundred
unable to adapt himself TO the jerks OF
the vehicle, but tried to sit bolt upright,
and failed miserably. Besides, he felt
that he was an object of ridicule, along
with the absurd style in which his fair
companion handled the reins. She
held her arms outstretched, of course,
as though her horse was going at 2:lI
instead of 1888, and was constantly
Jerking at the bits to keep the animal
I'D 10 his labOrious trot. When you see
a woman undertake to throw ball you
have her at her very worst; but, with
that exception she is unsurpassably bad
at driving q horse. 1t is q great COM
pliment to my sex, therefore, when L
affirm that most of the women in the
carts were bewitching amid all their
difficulties. Part of this effect was no
doubt due to toilets. Fashion this
year permits the wearing while driving
in the park of such gay costumes as
have heretofore been restricted TO
houses, lawns and verandas.

FERNS FOR HOUSE DECORATION.
A Few SeaSonabIe Directions rs 10
Pressing and Waxing the Plants.

July and August is the favorable
time for gathering ferns, as they are
then at their best. In pressing, the in
dispensable requisites to good result
are sufficient quantity of paper, a
perfectly even pressure and proper de-
gree OF weight. The paper should be of
a soft, porous nature and unglazed.
Blotting paper is considered best, but
newspaper will do very we'll. Books
are most convenient if they can be
found Insufficient size and unglazed.
If paper is used, fold it to the desired
size and be careful to make the edges
perfectly even. Place the first paper
upon level surface, then layer Of
ferns face down, then about fifteen
sheets Of paper and so continue till the
package is completed. Cover with q
smooth bit of board of the same size
and place a heavy weight upon it, rock
ing 1t in every direction until the ferns
are perfectly smooth. Remove the
heavy weight and substitute one of per-
haps ten or twelve pounds. Be sure
that the pressure is exactly equal, for If
the package tits in the least the ferns
will be spoiled. If the weight is too
heavy or too little paper is used they
will be rough, and il there is any in
equality they will be smooth in some
places and rough in other. Three or
four weeks will be required for the dry
ing unless they are changed to fresh pa
pers. If this is done they must not be
exposed to the air o moment or they
will curl past recovery. fperfectly dry
they will remain smooth.
The only fault of ferns is their tenden-
cy to curl from changes of atmosphere.
This may be remedied, in great meas
ure at least, by waxing after they are
dried. This is a process of some diff
Guilty. Lay the fern face down upon
paper; rub a bit of yellow beeswax
over the face of q flat-iron just warm
enough to melt it, pass this very quick
~ over the fern. OF course the wax
must be made to cover it II the iron is
too hot, or if the movement is not suffi-
GENTLY rapid, the fern will adhere to
the iron. Methods of arrangement are
so numerous and familiar that il is
hardly needful TO mention them. A
handful in fern glass is always desira-
bic and for those who lack pictures
something very pretty may be made in
that shape from ferns and autumn
leaves.
