A Girls Cost Of Living,

Several letters recently published in
the Herald show what an unending
struggle the working classes find it to
make both ends meet. To-day we pre-
sent the letter of a hardworking girl
who, upon $400 a year, supports herself
and mother. She presents the figures
OF her annual expenditure, which leave
a slender balance of $50, "a. after pay
ING for provisions, clothing, rent, car
fare, coal, lights and a newspaper. To
this young woman there is presented an
|unceaSing temptation TO another life in
which leisure and luxury wait on sin.
The thought is a painful one, to the hard
working young woman denied for the
sake of honesty all the pleasures which
60 to make life worth living, who wakes
UP to u%nceasing toll and lies down, it
may be, to dreams of ease, such thoughts
must come. The girls who successfully
resist such temptations are the best of
their sex, but as they move through a
life of grinding poverty, God alone
knows how they are to be pitied anu re-
warded. ''Firtue is its own reward
is a dry crust on which to feed a fellow
woman who sees vice decked in purple
and fine linen.
As this girls story catches the eye of
employers, it is to be hoped in its plain
tive recital it will encourage them in
to doing whatever they can for the inn
proyement of their employees, both in
better pay, where possible, and more
leisure without loss of pay where prac-
ticable .-C hicaq0 Herald.

WAsHINGToN, Aug. Il. The work of

are to be printed in brown instead of
green and black, as the old ones. They
will be printed, Of course, on the fiber

Of our national currency SO difficult,
but it is not improbable that there will
be difficulty in obtaining the fiber paper

Saving Seed Germ.

Early last spring we advised our read
ers to look to the quality of their seed
corn. In view of the probable fact that
the present eason will be a bad corn
year in many sections of the West, es-
pecially east of the Mississippi river we
advise that the saving of cor for next
years seed be carefully looked TO.
Corn. if the husk is stripped down when
nearly ripe, will soon harden and dry
out, so it will terminate even though
it be somewhat shriveled. We do not
advise the saving of corn for seed un-
less it is thoroughly ripe. unless in sea-
sons that promise like the present. but
VIE it is q GU stion Of seed or no seed
do the best you can.
Go into your field and, selecting the
ripest and finest ears, strip down the
husk when it begins to bleach. Let the
corn stand thus on the stalk for a week,
and then break of and trace up in a
dry, airy place, and You viii have corr
that viii certainly terminate. If the
season prove late so the corn ripens on
the hill. go over the field and again Sc
lect tile best Of the ripe ears. You will
thus have duplicated your stock of seed,
1t is true, but You VII find plenty of
your neighbors who will want what you
do not use next spring. and at prices
that will amply pay you for your care
and trouble.
In All that region where corn does u t
ripen this year, the mex best thing is
10 20 over the cribs Of last years corn
and sort over the best, to be put away
in some dry place for preservation. 1t
is well. however, before you trust too
much To this old corn, 10 Try its germi-
natrng powers. Shell a few grains from
u number of ears taken al random from
those selected for seed. From these
pick out a certain number of counted
kernels. Place these in sand keep con
stantly moist (not-wet) and warm. If
good, nine-tenths of the kernels will
spout in three or four days. Or, the
grains may be placed between folds Of
flannel, kept dark, warm, and moist,
and thus you may notice from day to
day their powers of germination.-

Pea Straw the Best.

In relation to the absorbent nature of
matters generally used as litter in yards
and stables, Boussingault states that
bean, buckwheat and pulse straws alb
sorb three times their weight Of liquid,
wheat straw twice its weight, and air.
dried earth. clay presumably, only one
half its weight. In the use of absorb
cnts, buckwheat straw should not be
used for bedding of either cattle or hor-
SEES in the stable, and especially not in
the bedding of swine. W. have found
in practice that us absorbents, wheat
and rye straw somewhat better, and oat
straw a better absorbent than either.
As q rule the softer the straw the better
absorbent it is. Pea straw is among the
best Of the legumes as an absorbent.
Barley straw is Objectionable as bed
ding especially fer horses, on account of
the boards. When dried earth is used,
il should always be covered with straw.

CRUISE OF THE CADETS.
The Old Constellation and Her Jolly Crew Of
Middies.


The United States practice ship Con-
stellation is now lying at the Brooklyn
maynard, undergoing slight repairs,
and, it is expected. will be ready for sea
in a few days. Ihe Constellation left
Annapolis, Md, under the command Of
Commander Ii. Is. Robson, on the 20th
of the present month, and arrived at
the Brooklyn yard two days Later. She
is Il third-rate sailing ship, carving
twelve guns, and depends entirely on
canvas instead of on steam for speed.
But, Notwithstanding this old-fashioned
ittea, the Constellation is known, both
81 home and abroad, as one OF the fast
est ships in the United States navy. The
officers estimate her rate Of speed at
fourteen knots per hour, but tradition
on the part Of the crew places it ever
ahead Of that. 1t j. said that, Two years
ago, when the ship was sent to tie

wake. The cheers that went up that
day from foreign as wen as Yankee
throats are described as something re-
markable. But, although the Constel-
lation is "A worthy descendant OF her

men and lies at the dock just ahead of
the Constellation, twenty-five are on
board the tug Standish at Cob dock, and
twenty-five more are on the Maytlower,
which is at the Boston navy-yard. These
young men are divided into -four classes.
Those Of the fourth class, whose know
ledge is limited when they first come
aboard ship, are taught the IN of
the rigging and sails, and, in fact, all
the rudiments of their profession. The
third-class members perform the duties
of ordinary seamen. having been ON a
cruise before. The second class acts as
petty officers, and the first or highest
class in the same capacity as the super
ior officers in rank of the ship.
