For WOlnen'a Ewes.

An elegant mantel lambreQuin is
of dark green velvet, and is without
decoration except across the edge at the
tached to cords, and small tassel ie
fastened to each; this has the effect of a
rich fringe. A great addition to the ap-
pearance of the mantel is to have a
piece of the velvet of the width and
depth Of the lambre luin fastened to the
wall above the shelf. It may be tackled
with brass-headed nails, or fastened to q
regular curtain pole with brass rings.
This makes good background to bring
into relief any handsome articles of man
tel furniture. Brasses and paintings of
any kind are shown to good advantage;
china also.
T1eHT-L Ac1Ne.-- oolish and inconsider-
ate mothers and foolish and untaught
girls and young ladies believe in and
practice tight-lacinga means of secur-
ing beauty of form. If they will study
the classic models, they ought to see
plainly enough that the Greek Slave,
Menus di Medici, and every masterpiece
Of female beauty in marble, bear
conclusive proof that the corset
has had no influence in shaping
the IDEAL OF Tue sculptor. 1leSe
ideal forms are beautiful because they
lepeat the lines found in the perfect fe-
male figure, and the figure only is per-
feet which is unvitiated by fashion and
symmetrical in all it's parts. The laced
waist of American woman of fashion and
the bandaged foot of the Chinese woman
are equally outrages upon nature.
The British Medical Journal, noting a
recent discussion by American physi-
clans concerning women's horseback
riding, with the declaration by one OF
the debaters that no woman ought to
ride horseback, calls attention to the
fact that in England equestrian exercise
is the happy privilege and daily practice
of thousands of all ages, and delicate as
we'll as robust constitutions, and adds
It is impossible for any one who has seen
the healthy glow spread over the cheeks,
pale just before, of some lady after hall
an hours exercise on horseback, to agree
with the proposed dictum Ladies take
far too little exercise in the fresh air. II
is rather the duty Of the medical man to
seek to encourage athletic exercise ofall
kinds, than to deprecate it from fancifu]
fear. Americans will gain health and
lose nothing in grace or refinement by
emulating the accomplishments of Their
English sisters as horsewomen.

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH.

Under y Spreading chestnut tree
The village smithy stands;
The smith, mighty man is he,
With large and sinewy hands;
And the muscles Of his brawny arms
Are strong as iron bands.
His hair is crisp, and black, and long,
His face is like the tan;
His brow is wet with honest sweat,
He earns whate'er he can,
And looks the whole world in the face,
For he owes not any man.
Week in, week out, from morn till night,
You can hear his bellows blow;
You can hear him swing his heavy sledge,
With measured beat and slow,
Like a sexton ringing the village bell;
When the evening sun is low.
And children coming home from school
Look in at the open door;
They love to see the flaming forge,
AID hear the bellows roar,
And catch the burning sparks that fly
Like chaff from q threshing- floor.
And with his hard, rough hand he wipes
A tear out of his eyes.
BE goes on Sunday to the church.
Ala Sis aIlOu2 MS boys;
He hears the parson pray and preach,
He bears his daughters voiee,
Singing in the village choir,
And it makes his heart rejoice
ltsounds to him like the mothers voice,
Singing in Paradise;
He needs must think Of her once more,
How in the grave she lies
MISUNDERSTANDING.
Onward through life he goes:
Each morning sees some task begin
Each evening sees it close;
Something attempted, something done,
Has earned a nights repose.
Thanks, thanks to thee, my worthy friend
For the lesson thou hast taught
Thus at the flaming forge Of life
Our fortunes must be wrought
Thus on its sounding anvil shaped
Each burning deed and thought!
Longfellow,
The Northern Pacific farmer. [volume] (Wadena, Minn.) 1878-1885, 1882-12-21
The Care of Sheep.


Sheep will endure severe cold if kept
dry; but exposure to storms, either rain
or snow, is very hurtful. The water re-
mains in the wool and in an atmosphere
little, if any, above freezing it chills the
body a long time. 1t is for this reason
that an open winter is generally unfav-
orable for feeding sheep. 1tkept housed
they are too warm, their appetite
fails and they lose flesh, no matter how
more impatient Of wet than the fine
woolled, the heavy oily gum on the wool
of the latter keeping the water from
penetrating to the skin.
Cloyer hay is almost essential to the
profitable fAttening of sheep. If corn
and hay were both the same price per
pound I should use some portion of
clover hay daily. Usually clover is sold
much cheaper than timothy, and of the
three pounds Of feed which a sheep
weighing 100 requires daily, at least two
pounds should be clover hay, given in
equal portions morning and night, after
the feed of grain. The feed at noon
shonld be roots, with all the straw du-
ring the day that the sheep will eat.
They will pick up considerable no mat
ter how well fed, the change of feed
from hay and grain giving them an
appetite. The noon feed of roots is i'm
portant mainly to increase appetite.
Instead of saving other food it enables
the sheep to eat and digest more.
The poorer flock of sheep is the
greater care and skill are needed in
bringing them up. Too often thin flesh
is the sign not Of insufficient food, but
Of impaired digestion. OF all ruminants
the sheep is most apt to suffer from poor
digestion and most needs careful, reg
ular feeding. The alienation of heavy
feeding with scarcity is most injurious
wether 1t be at nearly the same time
or not. A sheep is rarely made very
fat without having its digestive organs
somewhat impaired. This is shown il
such animals are allowed to run down
from food insufficient or of poor quality.
In such q case they are almost hope
less, especially when taken in the winter
If any farmer thinks of fattening sheep
he should begin in the summer, keep
ing the annals on good pasturage and
gradually getting them into condition
If he begins in the winter he should
take sheep at least half fattened for feed
ing. There is much less risk and more
profit in feeding sheep partly fat; be-
cause as compared with poor sheep their
digestion is much better.

Rich Laces.

A girl gossip in Truth, writing of q
piece of Venetian rose point lace exhib-
tied at the London Aquarium, says, ut
is a magnificent piece, six yards long
and three-quarters of a yard wide, and
is valued at a thousand guineas, but ts
worth at least double that sum, being in
such excellent preservation. It is said
that each spray in this kind of lace took
a lace-maker two days to make. Well, l
counted the number of sprays in one
inch of this length, counting straight
down the whole three-quarter width.
There were ninety-six! Cheap as the
labor of the hands was in those days,
this lace must have cost q goodly price
even when new, if one inch of the whole
width represented the work of one hun
dred and eighty-two days. At this rate
of computation it would take one lace
maker more than seven years to
complete six yards, and even that is
counting in Sundays as working days"

The people of this part of ONEIDA

lady in this village who has merits de.

of medium height, blue eyes, clear-cut
Grecian features, and is acknowledged
to be pretty, even by envious females,
and has borne away all the best prizes in
school for years. Her education is pro-
nounced by our late school commissioner
as being as good as that of any TEACHER

pie, make tatting, crochet, bevel lam

or Quilt pumpkin pie. She never was
known to call your attention to the
door draper or mat, never spoke a
cross word or had a cold dinner on
washing day, never ate chocolate cara
mel or chewed gum. She wore none
but her own hair and teeth. and was
never nearer corset than the outside
of a dry-goods counter. She never had

PHYSICAL Exercise For Girle.

An English writer believes that books
and lectures directed against fashionable
absurdities find reader acceptance with
men than with the sex in whose interest
they are promulgated, because men look
at the matter in the cold, clear light Of
abstract reason, and in the strong sense
which adapts means to ends, while their
wives and daughters are under the
thraldom of the despot fashion, and are
blind to all considerations save those OF
paying implicit obedience to his imperi-
GUS dictates. An enduring reform is
not to be looked for as consequence OF
the Nominations of professors and doc.
tors, however strongly urged and backed
up by weight of argument and diagram,
but as the outcome of the requirements
of modern life. 1t may be postulated
that the women Of a nation fond of out
door life, and sport involving exertion,
will, at any rate, during the time spent
in exercise, study to some extent the
necessity Of fit garb, and one adapted
to the requirements of the free play of

How Potatoes Were POpularized

How Potatoes Were POpularized.
NJ. Parmentier in 1888 introduced po-
tatoes into France in novel manner.
Having planted considerable breadth
of potatoes at Montreuil, near Paris, he
gained an audience with the unfortunate
Louis XVI, in the course of which he
inspired his majesty with ideas of the
value of the potato.
"But how are we to make people eat
what they are prejudiced againstW in
Quired the king.
"Sir, if your majesty will graciously
afford me little aid, that prejudice will
be removed" said NJ. Parmentier.
ITO overcome prejudice is difficult,
but how can aid you, NJ. Parmentier?''
IF your majesty will graci0l1sly order
that q soldier shall mount guard in my
potato field at Montreuil, potatoes shall
be the fashion IN less than six months. "
The king laughed and granted Par
.nentier's request. Thenceforward a
military guard might be seen promena-
ding with measured treadthe naturalist's
potato field. How precious must that
blue-how cred plant be, thought the
lookers-on. No more fear of leprosy-
no more dread of poisoning. The high
est people in France were proud to cal
potatoes.
