ACCOMPLISHMENTS

iudicious mother will so manage her
5apchters that even at the early age OF
thirteen they can, in an emergency, pre-
,,ore e" a meal of victuals. A thorough
5omestic training is ve-y useful to girl.
A. school, she always has teacher or
folIow-pupil at hand to help her over
bard places, but if she is set to make a
hatch of bread herself, and attends to it
from the time the sponge is set till the
loaves are taken, sweet, fragrant, golden
brown, from the oven, she learns mean
time chemistry, perseverance, delicate
manipulation, self-reliance, and neatness,
and acquires skill and the habit of car
rying her work in her mind, as one act
of neglect or forgetfulness at any point
of the process may spoil the whole.
Because some unwise mothers do not
see in the stated and skillful performance
by their daughters of household services
a certain and valuable culture which
cannot be acquired at school, they are
willing to do themselves, what in justice
and kindness to their daughters they
should require of them
Girls, left to their own devices, waste
great deal of time which might be util
lied to their advantage. A girl who
can climb trees, or jump. rope Ga very
dangerous pastime, by the way), who
can take long walks, who can skate and
row-can also sweep and scrub, and
make bread, and wash and iron, if she is
encouraged to do so. These are the ac-
complishments she must possess in order
to make happy home, though she may
have half dozen servants at her beck
and call
Those who have sufficient curiosity to
investigate this subject will find that
many of the most famous women in
literature and art were as skillful in
those accomplishments considered spe-
cially, as they were with the pen or
pencil or chisel In training girls to be
useful, and ready to meet any emer-
gency, mothers confer upon them an in
,estimable blessing.

Preserving . Pasture

A good pasture should never be broken
mp so long as the grass is satisfactory
and profitable. The corn crop gained
by it is poor recompense for the lost
grass. When grass becomes sod bound
1t is for the want of manure or fertilizer
Give it a good dressing of fine manure or
an application of 200 pounds (three
bushels) of plaster, 200 pounds OF super
phosphate Of lime, and 100 pounds of
Peruvian guano per acre, and some fresh
seed, and it will soon become released
from the bonds Of the dead sod Grass
land cannot be kept in The best condition
without renovation by seed and manure.

Salt for Sheep.

Sheep requires salt regularly, but
reasonable quantities" is very in
definite term A really reasonable
quantity is one that will be beneficial
and half an ounce a week to a sheep is
quite sufficient. If given in large
quantity the salt is injurious, and al
though we have not known it to pro-
duce such result, as it would produce
intestinal inflammation. But we suspect
abortion in ewes is much more likely to
occur through smut in the grain or fod-
der, or ergot in the hay; and both of
these were unusually prevalent last
summer.

Prohibition in Kansas.

Notwithstanding the conflicting reports
which come from Kansas respecting the
enforcement of the prohibitory law, there
is no doubt but that it is as well enforced
as other criminal laws outside of few
cities A correspondent of the Chicago
Inter Ocean, who spent three months in
Central and Southern Kansas, travelling
the entire length of the State-from At
Gibson on the Missouri River, to the from
tier fifty miles west of Dodge Clty-visit-
ing county seats and many oh the larger
towns, says: have had favorable OBJ
portunity of learning the workings of

law is enforced with fully as much vigor
as are other statutes Many violaters of
the law have been arraigned before the
courts; numerous convictions have occur

and costs often amounting to $3.50 more
and even where there has been failure
to convict, the liquor has been kept
IN hot water of agitation and anxiety.
The results are most salutary. Public
sentiment i'll favor of the law is increasing.
Even Journals Indifferent to the principle,
advocate the enforcement of the statute
as law-abiding citizens. Twenty-Five
ministers met recently at an association
in Kansas. Twenty three of them re-
ported from partial to an entire success

Making Black Pottery.

A correspondent in the west of Epg-
land writes: "Some interest will be
felt in claim just put forward on be-
half of the Maryland pottery works,
situate near Great Torrington, Devon
shire. For a long period the art of
making what is known as Egyptian
black pottery has been lost to the
world. This black is of a peculiarly
beautiful, brilliant appearance, and can
hardly fail in display OF art pottery to
arrest attention. 1t is now asserted
that the works named have rediscover-
ed the art, and at bazaar recently held
in the county they exhibited a vase or
namented with groups of flowers of a
bright blue hue, but with body made
of the brilliant black material. 1t was
much admired, and it is said that the
body of the vase is the only example in
the world at the present day cores

A. T. Stewards R0dY.

Talking to New York detective Of
fcer to-dry, [ asked him what. had be-
come of the body of A. T. Stewart.
"The best information posess," said
he, sis that it has not only never
been recovered by the family and ex-
cutors, but that it is not now in the
possession of the original thieves
"Well, who got it from them?" said
L.
cit is the understanding at police
headquarters, said he, chat second
band of thieves, thinking the body was
a good thing, stole it from the first.
Probably some of the persons privy to
the robbery took the body away from
those who had been at the pains to dig
it up and spirit it off"
"Wel, how was Mrs. Stewart ap-
peased?"
"Why,' lid the officer, II suppose

You know that Immediately after the

other tombs of CONSPICUOUS persons.
They all got tired of paying special
watchmen, because it looked as if they
might have to watch the tomb for a
period of years, and every rich man
that died would require live ones to
look sitter his bones-a thing not very
palatabe to heirs. Consequently notice
was sent to Judge Hilton that he ought
not to pay any reward for the return
of Stewards bones whether Mrs. Stew
art wanted to do so or not. The IN
derstanding is that Judge Hilton and
other gentlemen pacified Mrs. Stewart
in some way. You know the coffin of
Stewart was not carried off by the

How to Kill a Snake.

A working party on a Georgia rail
road is made up of mountaineers and
Georgians. One of the latter performed
foolhardy feat the other day that
made the blood of the unaccustomed
spectators run cold. They were at work
clearing away the thick underbrush in
advance of the engineer, when some
one shouted, "ware of the rattle
snakesE' He saw one of these reptiles,
about four feet long and five or six
inches in diameter, lying just ahead.
The Georgian cut a short stick with a
forked end, and creeping up to the
snake he deity pinned it to the earth
by pushing the forked end on either
side of his neck. Then, seizing the tail
in his right hand, he ran his hand down
the snakes body, and grasping in firm
ly just back of the head, he held it up
at arms length and called on the others
to 'slook at the varmint's mouth. 1t
was anything but pleasant sight, and
most of the spectators were herrified.
After holding it a few moments for
general inspection, he suddenly swung
the snake over mis- head with his right
hand, letting go the hold of the left,
and dashed it with great force against
rock, killing it instantly. 1t was a cool
and dextrous feat, but very trying to

TBE VOICE OF THE FALLING
LEAVES

A friendless minstrel walked alone
Where the autumn twilight lay
Cold on the woods, and leaves were strewn
By thousands in the way;
He thought Of the promise breathing spring,
And of summers rosy ewes
And he said: ALAS for the whitening
And the time of falling leaves"
The music of bird and breeze had passed
From the woodlands, hushed and dim;
But there came an answering voice at last,
From the dying leaves to him,
And it said: Oh, thou of the sleeples thought,
In thy musings sad and lone,
Weep not the close Of our fearless lot,
But rather mourn thine own;
"For thr greenness of early spring was ours,
And the summers balmy prime,
And the growing tints that decked the bowers
In the glorious harvest time.
And have we not seen t he roses diet
For their splendor might not stay
And the summer birds are gone: then why!
should leaves not pass away?
"Yet the flowers may fade and the leay IS may
fall,
And the glory of the woods depart,
But mourn in thy sorrow more than all
The whitening of the heart
And the s.ul's young brightness doomed too
Twas glory early DER;
For time hath taken that blessed boon,
But time can ne'er restore.
"And mourn Tor hfe's peri.hed hopes, that
died
While the spring was tlowerV still,
For the stainless love which tho tomb hath hid
Though it could not change nor chill;
For the weary eyos have looked for light
Which never met their gaze,
And for all who have lived through storm and
blight,
But saw no Summer days"
The winds in their lonely power awOke.
As the uight came da rkly on,
And the voice which in twilight stiffness spoke
With that twilight hour was gone,
"And OH" said the minstrel strange in
soOth
Are the spells which fancy weaves,
For she hath given a voice of living truth
10 the fading, falling leaves"
