LADIES' COLUMN.
Don't Girls

Don't think it necessary for your
happiness that afternoon be spent
in, making calls or on the street shop
ping. Home is not a mere hotel
wherein to eat and sleep-too dreary
to be endured without company
from abroad: home work is not
mere drudgery, but useful ministra-
ton to those we love.
Don't mistake giggling for cheer
fulness, slang phrases for wit,
boisterous rudeness for frank gayety
impertinent speeches for repartees.
On the other hand, don't be prim.
formal stiff, nor assume a country
face" eloquent of ''prunes, potatoes,
prlsms," nor sit bolt upright in a
corner, hands, feet, eyes and lips
carefully posed for effect. An effect
will be produced, but not the one
you wish. Nor yet sit scornfully
reserved, criticising the dress,
manners, looks, etc, of those around
you. Make up your mind that your
companions are, on the whole, a
pretty nice set Of people-if they
are not, you had no business to come
among them-that there is some
thing to respect and like in each OF
them. Determine to have a nice
time anyhow; then do your part tc
make it so. Be genial, cordial and
frank. If you can play and sing
ordinarily well do not refuse to take
your share in entertaining your
companions in that way. You can
not be expected to sing like Nilsson
or Kellogg. If you cannot play OF
sing, say so frankly, and do not feel
Inundated. You probably excel in
some other accomplishment Even
if you do not, you can possess that
one grand accomplishment to which
all others are accessories, that Of
being "a lady''-a true woman
gentle and gracious, modest and
loveable.

A Western Nina.

A committee of stakeholder
who waited upon the superinten
dent of Il California mine to ash
why in blazes the said mine hadn'
panned out anything but assess
ments were graciously received, in
vited to be seated, and the ofiicia
explained:
Gentlemen, you are all aware OF
the fact that we had scarcely begun
work when the mouth of our mine
was blocked by land slide. That
put us back a month"
They nodded their remembrance.
Then we had just got in shape
to take out 1000 tons of ore, worth
$1,000 per ton, when the mine
caved in. You recall itT'
They did.
"Once more we bent ourselves
to the burden of reaping $500 for
every $40 invested, when the mine
was flooded by subtarenean river"
That was true also.
Then we had just got the water
out when we discovered that our
mine was located on another mans
claim. We had him shot TO pre-

Nothing Valuable Lost in Drying

Nothing Valuable Lost IN Drying,
In response to Mr. Hovey who
doubts that in curing, hay loses
none of its nutritious properties,
DR.. j. r. Nichols says in the Mas
sachusetts Ploughman, that if a
| pound OF fresh grass or corn-stalks
is placed in a glass retort and heat
applied at temperature of about
1000 Fab. moisture arises from the
mass, and if condensed by a re-
frigerating apparatus, it will be
found to be pure water and nothing
else; the gras will be gradually
dried into hay, and in the hay will
be found all the nutrient principles
which existed in the grass. If the
water which escapes from a field of
mown grass, in drying in the sun.
could be condensed, it would be
found to be pure water and moth
inc else.
There is a rich odor to grass which
Is very volatile; it escapes while
growing, and when the grass is cut
and vitality is arrested, it escapes
freely. This principle is the same
in nature as the odor of flowers; it
is ethereal, extremely minute in
quantity, and has no value what
ever 1t makes a great manifesto
ton of itself on every hay field in
the season, and has led many to
think that it gave evidence OF great
loss. Such is not the case. In
drying fruits the same changes oc-
cur; nothing but water escapes; the
pectin, gum, sugar remain behind. |
In drying, slight oxydation occucs,
and the juices are thickened or
hardened by the loss of water.

Shepherd Dogs.

One herder, whom we met at Cold
Spring Rancho, showed us very
pretty shepherd dog that he said he
would not sell for $500. She had
at that time four puppies. The
night we arrived we visited his
camp, and were greatly interested
in the little mother and her nurs-
ing babies. Amid those wild, vast
mountains, this little nest of moth
erly devotion and baby trust was
very beautiful. While we were ex-
claiming, the assistant herder came
to say there we're more than twenty
sheep missing. Two male dogs,
both larger than the little mother.
were standing about, with their
hands in their breeches pockets, do
ing nothing. But the herder said
neither Tom nor Dick would find
them. Flora must go. 1t was
urged by the assistants that her
foot was sore, she had been hard at
work all day, was nearly worn out
and must suckle her puppies The
boss insisted that she must 90. The
sun was setting. There was no
time to lose. Flora was called and
told to HINT tor lost sheep, while
her master pointed to great
forest, through the edge of
which they had passed on their
way up. She raised her head, but
seemed very 10th to leave her ba-
bies. The boss called very sharply
to her. She rose, looking tired
and lowspirited, with head and |
tail down, and trotted off toward !
the forest. l said:
THAT is too bad"
''Oh, she'll be right back. She's |
on stray sheep"
The next morning l went over to
earn whether Floralfound the sheep.
While we were speaking the sheep |
we're returning, driven by the
little dog who did not raise her

4 Lady's Toast to the Men.

At a literary meeting, Mrs. Duni-
way toasted men as follows: "God
bless EN-; we halve their joys, double
their sorrows, treble their expenses,
quadruple their cares, excite their
affections, control their property,
and Out-maneuver them in every
thing. This would be a very dreary
world without men. In fact, 1 may
say, without prospect of successful
contradiction, without 'em it would
not be much of a world, anyhow.
We love 'em and the dear beings
can't help it; we control 'em, and
the precious fellows don't know it.
As husbands, they are always con
venient, though not always on
hand; as beaux they are by no means
matchless. They are most agree
able visitors; they are handy at state
fairs, and indispensable at oyster
saloons. They are splendid as es-
corts for some other fellows wife or
sister, and as a friend they are
better than women. AS our fathers
they are inexpressibly grand. \
man may be a failure in business, a
wreck in constitution, not enough
to boast of as a beauty, nothing as
a legislator for wOman's rights, and
even not very brilliant as member
OF the press, but if he is our own
father, we overlook his short com
ings, and cover his peccadilloes with
the divine mantle of charity Then,
as our husbands, how we love to
parade them as paragons! In the
sublime language of the inspired
poet:
We'll lie for them,
Wen cry for them
And if we could we'd fly for them,
We'd do anything but die for them"

Courtesy to Collectors.

There is "a certain class of PEG
pie in this country, and quite 4
large class, who, when paying a bill
seem to think that they are con-
ferring a great favor upon the party
receiving the money, and act, real
ly, as if they received actually
nothing in return and were simply
doing a work of charity. Such peo-
pie are generally rough, Overbear-
ing and ungentlemanly in manner,
and are cordially disliked by all
their associates. fla creditor calls,
he is made to await the leisure and
convenience of the debtor. Some
times he is told that his statement
! has not been examined. although
ample time has been already al
lowed for such examination, and the
whole matter could be looked over
in moment anyway. If the agree
ment is agreed to and actually be
gun, and and another person en-
tiers to pay money, or to buy goods,
or to talk about the latest horse-race
the creditor is unceremonious SHOW
ed aside, to wait until the more wei
come visitor is served All such
conduct is wrong, and will not be
tolerated by any business that can
lay just claim TO responsibility.
The man who buys commodities
of any kind usually does so of his
own accord, ordinarily there is
nothing compulsory about the
transaction. He makes his pur-
chase and gets the worth of his
money, presumably, in goods of
whatever kind. This places buyer
and seller on an equality. If the
buyer could make a better bargain
elsewhere, he would be very likely !
to do it-for in trade. when dollars |
and cents are involved. friendship |
doesn't count for much People /
go where they can get the most for
their money. Having done so, the
seller cOnfers a favor upon the buy
er, at least equal to that which the
former receives in the payment of
his bill. Then why should n col
lector be subjected to so much dis
courtesy? a real gentleman, one
who has a proper appreciation of
what is due to another,i is never gull
ty Of such impoliteness. The collec-
tor who calls for his money is
treated with as much respect and
as is shown the buyer
when he makes his purchases. This
should be universal,

The business man who will run
down and bemean his own town is
certainly standing in his own light,
and isn't much of a business man
after all. If a man is doing bust
ness in a town he does not like, let
him pull out or else go to work and
make business to build up his town.
The chronic grumbler is an abomi-
nation to wide-awake men; and wide
awake men are never GROWERS. No
one man or two men can make a
town lively; but if all or half the
business men of a town have a mind
to try, they can build up business,
induce trade and enhance business
interests to q great extent. A town
is what the inhabitants make it;
and the man who grumbles about
his town acknowledges so far as he
is concerned that he has been a fail
ure. The business man who is
wide-awke has no cause to grumble.
