What Women Should Know.

We are in receipt of book oil
great value to women, published by
the Preside Publishing Company,
Philadelphia, entitled "What Women
Should know, Woman's Book about
Women" which contains much valu-
able and practical information for
wives and mothers. 1t is from the
pen of Mrs. f. B. Duffy, the we'll
known authoress of "No Sex in Ed
ucation,'" and other works on kim
bred subjects that have been widely
read and generally highly appre
ciated. We commend this work 10
the special and favorable notice of
the wives and mothers of Shiawassee
county. In our judgement this book
tells women just what they should
know, simplywhat they ought to know,
and without knowing which they
cannot perfectly fulfill their woman
ly destiny. In its language it is plain
and direct, yet marked by no impro-
priety, and is such as one strictly
modest woman may with propriety
use in addressing another. 1t is,
also in its hygenic character and gen.
eral information quite up to this en-
lightened age.
In the more social aspects of the
subject discussed, the writer is emf
nently liberal and sensible taking ma
ture for her guide rather than conven
tional etiquette, while the moral tone
of the work is strictly pure and un-
exceptionable. 1t ranks as literary
publication far above ordinary vol
umes of this character, and is worthy
Of wide circulation.
The book is sold on subscription
and We believe cultured energetic
lady would find the agency a paying
one in this county. Address the
Fireside Publishing Company, 20
North Seventh ST., Philadelphia,
Penn.

Marvellous Cure of Stone in the Blndder-
Large Stones Removed by "Ken-
nedy's Favorite Remedy"
From the Pitts1eld (lfass) Eagle.
Stone in the Bladderis very dangerous all
ment; but many most remarkable cures have Of
late been wrought by "Kennedy's Favorite Rene
dy"-the invention of DIR. Kennedy OF Rom
dout, N. Y Another striking case is now added
to the list. Mr.. Peter Lawler, OF Dalton, Mass,
states in letter to DIR. Kennedy that he had
been troubled with bladder complaint for IA years,
and had consulted at different times seven physi-
clans; but nothing beyond temporary alignment of
the pain had been worked. Towards the end of
last january Mr.. Lawler called on DIR. Ken
nedy. Sounding him, the doctor "struck stone."
He decided that Mr.. Lawler should first try the
"Favorite Remedy" so as, il possible, to avoid an
operation. And here ia the remarkable result
"Dear Doctor Kennedy-The day after / came
home passed two gravel stones, and am doing
nicely now. II you would like to see the stones
will send them TO you" This letter bears date
"Dalton, Mass, Feb. 6th," and is signed "Peter
Lawler" The stones, which are so large as to war
rant for "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy" the claim
that il is the most successful specific for Stone yet
discovered, are now in Dr. Kennedy's possession.
Incidentally Mr. Lnwler also states that the Fav-
orite Remedy" at the same time cured him OF q
stubborn case of rheumatism; and it is fact that
in all affections arising out of disorder of the liver
urinary organs it is searching remedy and works
marvellous benefits. It sin itself almost medicine

Astonished Barber.

Quietly entering barber shop, the
stranger removed his hat and coat and
taking card from his pocket wrote on
IL:
~ want to be shaved"
A barber stepping forward, read the
card, and pointing to q chair, said to his
brother artist:
deaf as brass-kettle and dumb as
an oyster"
The man Strengthened himself out in
the chair, when his manipulation began
lathering his face.
This deaf cuss has cheek like a
stone-wall," he said. when general
laugh followed.
Sound his brain, Bob" put in an
other.
Eyes, stick pin in him and see if he
is entirely dumb" said another.
The victim remaining undisturbed the
following shots were fired at him by the
delighted tonsorial artists.
HE needs shampoo, his head is
dirter than cesspool."
'Tell him his red hair needs clipping,
before it sets his topknot on fire. Z"
"Shave him with stool-leg, don't
spoil your razor on that stubble."
Pull off his boots and air his soiled
hose"
Gracious! what breath. 1t smells
like "a Dutch band of music"
HE ought to rent that nose for To-
connective headlight" etc., ETC., etc.
While all these complimentary allu-
sions were flying about him, the opera
ton of shaving was finished, and the
man arose, put on his coat, and turning
to the astonished barber, said:
'How much for the shave and COM
plimentsp"
"I-I-I-I," gasped the astonished
man. ''Oh, nothing-nothing call
again, excuse"--and as the stranger left
the shop, the discounted BARRIERS swore
they would never believe in deaf and
dumb man again, until they had first
fired ten pound cannon about his ears

Shooting on the wing is Il mechanical art
like billiard playing, boxing or fencing
There will, OF couse, be degrees of excellence,
but any one with the full use Of his faculties
and the ambition necessary to success in
anything can acquire ii. The secret lies in
the hand becoming subscrvicnt to the eye
The two must be connected by clcCtricIy.-
The eye is never at fault if it were, there
would be little hope ofimprovcmcnt, but any
one may improve the quiClincsS of the mus
cles of the arm. Look at the eXperncss of
professional card players and coniurcrs in the
art of manipulation. The same practice ap.
piled to the gun will make the brilliant shot.
One often hears ii said, ITO be good shot
requires quick eye" 1t matters not how
quick the eye is unless the muscles are Cduca-
ted to act in unison with it. Every one can
see quick enough Let one bird out ola trap
before 800 people and they viii all see it at
the same time, but only the practiecd shot
can throw up the gun to his shoulder with
accurate aim and simultaneously pull trigger
before the bird has flown ten feet. Take the
adroit fcncer or boxer he sees an opening
and his practiced muscles obey the eye and
send the thrust or blow home quicker than the
Impractical eye can follow. OF what use is
the sight on gun? Very little, as is seen
by the successful way gunners kill ducks
when it is too dark TO see the sight or scarce
ly see the barrels. A sportsman should shoot
his game the same as an Indian shoots his
arrow, by looking at the object with both
eyes open. 1t may be done by closing one
eye but there is nothing gained by this
There are two ways of shooting on the wing.
One to throw up the gun to the slloulderand
pull the trigger at the same time This is
termed snap, shooting." The other equally
good, and better to begin with, and more
certain upon the whole, particularly in open
shooting, is to follow the bird and when
covered, fire while the gun is in motion

On the Subject of Roads.

The public roads of county show the
spirit and enterprise of the people in the
county to a certain extent, and all will admit
that good public roads add to the value of
the land as much, if not more, than ANYTHING
of equal cost A bad road means small load
with great wear and tear to a wagon and
team, and bad roads is the complaint gen.
orally. An exchange, in asking "why is this?"
answers its own interrogatOry very scnsibly
by remarking: First, they are badly drained
and not enough work done on them second,
there is but little thought given to making
roads, and the work is often done late in the
fall third, men pillow and scrapc more than
there is need of, and make narrow poor
road when they get through. 1t is cheaper
to make good wide road when the land will
permit, than narrow one, from the fact that
in making wide one you simply bring the
dirt from the bitches upon the road bed,
which should never be plowed up or disturb
ed A public road should be 35 feet from out
side TO outside ofditches, highest in the centre,
and curvng gradually to the outside ofdiiches.
The road bed (that is, the part between the
inside of the ditchesl should be 81 feet wide
The bitches should be 5 feet wide and one
foot deep on the outside, and deeper, ifneccs
sary, with sufficient grade to draw of the
water otherwise there will be bad, muddy
road. Now with such road the bed is solid,
and the soil scrapcd on top will soon pack
and become hard. There is no danger of
being tipped over, and travel is not obliged
to follow in a single rut, as it must in mar
row road. Dry roads mean good ditchcs.-
To fill up mud holes without draining, is
simply putting in more dirt to make more
mud

Yes Chandler you shall have sheep,

Presently Chandler speaks again.
"Father, hadn't you better take sheep
YOURSELF"
This was a poser; he hardly thought he
could give up the good creature" yet but the

Getting ND conner" in pork. wheat or

that he could make a large amount of money
II he should buy and thus control all the salt
there was in town. So he bought every bar.
rel he could find and stored it. Having, rs
he thought, corner, he put the price up TO
ten dollars per barrel. Unfortunately for the
SPECTATORS profits, another citizen heard of
the SPECTATORS purpose, and saw therein
chance TO make an honest penny. He de-
spatChed schooner TO Chicago for n load
of salt The winds were propitious, and the
schooner with her load was soon at the good
citizens dock
One morning farmer came into town for
barrel of salt. Going TO the SPECTATORS
he was asked ten dollars barrel "Salt has
riz" was the only reply vouchsafed TO the
farmers protest. He, however. would not
pay that price, and soon discovered that there
was schooncl-load of salt for sale at the
dock at twenty shiliings a barrel. Having
purchased barrel he returned to the specu-
lator and telling him of his purchase, de-
nounced him rs Il swindler

the Spectator, for there amt any salt in

The Human Figure.

The proportions of the human figure are
six times the length of the feet. Whether
the form is slender or plump the rule holds
good any deviation from it is departure
from the highest beauty in proportion. The
Greeks make all their statues according to
this rule. The face, from the highest point
of the forehead, where the hair begins, to the
chin, is one tenth of the whole stature. The
hand, from the wrist TO the middle finger, is
the same. From the top of the highest point
ofthe forehead, ISIS seventh. Ifthe face, from
the roots ofthe hair to the chin, be divided
into three equal parts, the first division de-
termines the place where the eyebrows
meet, and the second the place Of the nostrils.
The height, from the feet to the top of the
head, is the distance from the extremity of
the fingers when the arms are extended
