Household Convenienees.

Correspondence Country Gentleman
From an experience Of wears as a
builder, find a great lack OF system in
planning among farmers. When it
comes TO the erection Of a house, if We
are u take the description of the
I thought rs we see it embodied in the
| country houses that dot the landscape.
1t Is not strange that the jewellers in
villages and city houses of comfort and
beauty should call them places to live in
instead of homes. 1t is often remarked
/ by those from the country who visit
friends in the village or city, especially
the wives, mothers, and sisters, How
mandy conyenientyou do hayeevery-
| thing about your house to save work! |
wish our house could be as handy"
Inc farmer may say, perhaps, 1T costs
money to have all these things.
| Well, so it does; but on which side of
the account does the profit or loss
come in the end? Farmers buy i'm
proved implements to save time
aud money, but rarely think that
the time Of the wife aud daughter
in their daily journeys to the woodpilc,
wellor ciStcrn, is worth the saving, lie
rarely thinks Of the extra steps to the
cellar and pantry, in the preparation of
a single meal. He does not take into
account the saving that would be az
complished if all the necessary adiudcts
OF the household were in closer proximi-
ty to each other. | have often seen the
/ woOdpile at the farmers house two or
/ three rods from the kitchen door, and
then not under roof; the well ten or
twelve rods away, and sometimes down a
steep hill, having been located there to
save a few feet of digging (and this
alone makes miles Of extra travelling in
the course of year,; the cistern with
no other conyicnces for drawing water
than pail and rope, Is it any wonder
that mother and daughterin such farm
house are tired out with extra labor and
/ drudgery Of household duties? The
building of good house by the thrifty
farmer may perhaps have been long in
contemplation; he may have considered
how much money he intended to put in
to the structure, but the most important
part, how to make it a home embodying
comforts and conveniences, has been left
entirely out of his calculations.
A mistake that the farmer often makes
is that of initiating something that he
has seen somewhere, that, so far as the
exterior is concerned, he thinks Just
suits him. In his attempt to copy from
| it, he finds that the l,cation as to 'front.'
age and all its surroundings is quite diff
/ fcrent in the two cases, and when too
late he discovers that he has made a mis-
take. Frequently as much depends
upon the location of farmhouse and
its buildings for pleasing effects as the
design of the building itself. We often
see the dwelling on one side Of the pub
lie highway, while on the opposite side
are spread out barns and various other
out-buildings, to reach which gates must
be opened, and the dirty or muddy road
crossed hundreds Of times in the course
of year.

The guard duty at the tomb Of the
late President Garfield, which has
been observed since he was inferred
at Lake View Cemetery, is not the
pleasant thing il may seem. The
post is not desirable. The burial
ground is a lonely, solemn place, five
miles from the city, and has the natu
raj belongings Of an uncanny place be
cause of its hills and rayines. The
soldiers, or at least the foreign-borr
soldiers, have a dread and horror OF
this assignment. Three to whom the
detail was given at different times
came into disgrace through drunken
ness, incurred by drinking liquor t,
sustain their courape during then
awesome night vigil. And now 9
strong. healthy young Polander has
gone insane from the morbid fears
that preyed upon him during the two
months he had been on duty at the
tomb.

The following anecdote Of Alexan-
der H. Stephens is related in the
Louisville Courier-Journal: The wife
of a western congressman was one
day sitting by Mr.. Stephens bedside,
when he was very i'll in the winter
of 1877, and he spoke quite freely to
her Of his mother and his early life.
"Why did you never marry" she
asked. "That's my secret" he replied
evas!vely. "But we would all like to
know it, was her response. well"
said he, grimly and reluctantly, II
never saw but one woman I wanted to
marry, but she did not want to marry
me. That's a good reason, isn't it?'
II hope she lived to regret her mis-
take, replied the kind heart. Eyes,
responded Nr. Stephens slowly, 81
think she did, and SO did l."

PRESIDENTIAL PECCADIILOS.
Washington Gossips Start an Unfounded Story
Of unwise Alteration on the Part of
Chester Towards Lady Friend.

WAsHINGsoN, Feb. 22.-Two or three
papers have within a few days publish
ed, not scandalous stories about the
president, but scandalous insinuations
about him. They have not dared to go
further than to insinuate There are
no facts known to anyone to Justify
these insinuations. The president has
shown some attentions to the wife of an
official high in one of the departments,
which. though entil ely unexceptionable
as far as anyone knows, have been
enough to set the tongues of male and
female gessips to wagging in q sly and
sub rosa way. The presidents init
macy with the family of the lady
has long been known and often spoken
OF. 1t included the entire family and
there was no evidence of any indis-
erection about it. That he has often
made early and informal calls at-the
house OF the lady in question has also
been frequently stated in Washington
correspondence. There has been no
attempted secrecy. The lady's hus-
band and her father, who is in even a
higher position than her husband, have
remained on the most intimate person
al and official terms with the president
AT the races, some time ago, this lady
and her husband were in attendance.
but he went with gentlemen friends and
she went with the president Nothing
could have been less clandestine, and
the fact that the husband attended the
races should have prevented any club
room talk or tea.party gossip; but the
prominence of the parties has made the
subject fascinating one for certain
persons and so there have been unpleas-
ant guesses and surmises passed around
among the wives Of the officials at their
receptions, and by the wives passed
over TO the husbands, and by them
retailed in club-rooms and cloak-rooms
Nobody processes to know anything
discredltable to the distinguished per-
sons whose regulations are tritled with
They have only heard somebody say
something or other This kind of talk
has been passed around in an under
hand way for many months During
that time no facts have come to light.
Nothing has occurred to strengthen
suspicion, but stories of that kind al
ways grow by accretion, and at last
newspaper or two has published some
vague illusions to the matter.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-A Pittsburgh
paper contains a highly-colored account
of an alleged disgraceful scandal in
which President Arthur and First AS
sistant Secretary of State John Davis
are mentioned as the principal actors.
1t was rumored in this city to-day that
this trouble eliminated this afternoon
in an assault upon the president by
Mr.. Davis. Your correspondent has,
however, been unable to trace this mat
ter to any authentic source. Neverthe-
less, it has created much comment,
and is the topic of conversation in all
circles

Poisonous Stockings,

Minnie Bell, the three year-old daugh-
ter Of Hector Conkling, who lives on
Smith street, Middletown, n. Y, died
Sunday from blood poisoning, caused
BY wearing stockings colored with a
poisonous dye. The stockings were
colored red and yellow, and when the
child first wore them her mother noticed
that the coloring had rubbed off on
her logs. Soon after an eruption APP
peared, first upon her feet and the
part of the legs covered by the stock
ings, and gradually spreading over the
remainder of her legs and the lower
part of her body. There was also very
marked tendency to bloating. She was
sick five or six days, aud although
everything was done for her. it was
OF no avail DIR. ID b. Smiley, the
physician in attendance, says that all
the symptoms are those of arsenical
poisoning, and he has no doubt that the
cause of death was the absorption into
the circulation of the poison of the dye
used in the stockings

Clean Quarters for Pic.

The result of iudicious breeding and
good care is a product of wholesome
pork, mt for the most fastidious taste.
Ii has been the rule to ignore the
rlghtful position of the humble bio.
and to generally relelate him to
position where ne becomes simply the
farm scavenger. When other stock has
been allowed to absorb all that is nutfi-
tious in a field or has exhausted the best
contents of corn crib, the swine are
turned in to eat up the remains, and
to mingle with this refuse. the dirt.
and in many cases germs of disease,
left 1t by Its more fortunate fellow
candidates for the market. If the far
mer has anything about his premises,
which no otherclass of stock win touch,
because OF its repulsive character, the
swine are called upon and expected to
regale themselves with the unsavory
mess. Whole droyes of swine are fed
in this way for two-thirds of every
year, and just before killing time, in
order TO present good round bodies,
and to get all the lard possible, they
are stuffed with decent feed and called
corn-fed hogs. The germs of disease,
however. have been planted previous
to this time, and the unfortunate
'.scavengern goes to the block or pack
ing houses in some instances. in dis
eased condition caused by unwhole-
some food, nasty pens and other Oh
jectionable features which are the
result of a system of almost criminal
neglect.
To insure wholesome pork, cleanli-
ness and good wholesome food are
necessary, and the apparent careless
ness on the part of some men in pre-
pairing swine for the market, is, to say
the least, highly censurable Pigs,
from the time they are weaned, should
be afforded clean quarters, succuent
green food as well as something more
substantial, and that is better than the
refuse of an obnoxious swill pail. The
breeder and feeder who conducts his
business upon this principle is the man
who secures the best prices, and make
for himself a deserved reputation as a
sensible and skillful ne-raiser. -

Food for Calves,

J. I. Clapp, Superintendent of the
Lakeside Stock Farm at Syracuse,
writes as follows concerning cooking
food for calves: -Four last-Spring
calves of about equal weight and even
feeding quality were set apart for the
test which began December IA, 1892.
and was TO continue till January Is,
1888. The combined weight OF the two
calves fed dry food was on January Is
1000 pounds, and on December IA, 979
pounds; gain, Ill pounds. The COM
bined weight of the two fed on por-
ridge was on January Is, i,196 pounds,
and on December II. l.30S; gain 1l2
pounds. The quantity fed was not
taken into account, but it is we'll known
that we can feed more food dry and I'M
cooked than cooked without fear of
securing. had expected better result
from the cooked food; yet I am aware
that many who once cooked food for
stock have given it up for some leason." "

the hands of some small boy. This is
the inevitable consequence arising out
OF that familiarity with deadly weapons,
which comes faom the habit of continu-
ally carrying the same. Nor is the habit
by any means confined to the youth.
point Of fact, it is the sight of similar
weapons in the pockets of their elders
which ineites boysto do the same thing,
hoping thereby that they win come the
closer to manhood.
Something more than start of sur
prise would galvanize the public mind
into action, were every person stopped
aud searched at given moment. The
number of pistols unearthed by such a
process would open wide the eyes of
many persons to the hold which this
practice of carrying deadly weapons
has upon certain class, and this d
class which has the least control over
their passions.
1t is quite safe to say, that one half
of the homicides reported throughout
the country, would never occur if the
handy pistol had not been near to an
swer the call of the passion blinded
brain. A hot word, a blow, shot,
and society has another criminal on its
hands. All because of ready pistol.
The habit may have begun in youth or
been picked up in after years, but the
result is the same in either case. That
which is looked upon first as a facnat-
ing toy, becomes finally, a standing
temptation to commit murder.
The law against the carrying of con-
cealed weapons is stringent, but of ad-
mitted difficult enforcement. The only
way to stop the spread of the practice
among minors is to begin, as the above
bill does, at the fountain head and pro-
hibit the sale of deadly weapons to
them. The danger of their becom-
ing habituated to the practice in after
years is but faint as compared, with
what might happen if they are, as now,
allowed free access to weapons when
ever they had money enough to pur-
chase

Bounty Business.

At every session of the legislature
pressure is brought to bear on members
by the press in the older settled coun-
ties, to induce reduction in bounties
on wild animals. To hear the cry raised
ut times, one not TO the manor born
would imagine the state to be going to
the 'demnition bow-wows" over the
expenditure of a few thousand dollars
paid out in assisting counties troubled
with these pests, to get rid of them.
Notwithstanding these loud outcries, it
is noticeable that the same parties have
vocal ammunition enough left to back
up sturdily, claims for improvements
in their section, amounting to several
times the amount paid out in bounties.
This year this class of chronic grum-
blers appear TO have the inside track,
and have brought about reduction of
one dollar on the bounty paid for wolf
scalps, making it five dollars instead of
six. This looks like picayunish spirit
for great state to display. TO the in
itiated, it goes further and shows plainly
that the economical members did not
know what they were doing. They
make no discrimination. Pay Just as
much for young wolves as old ones
Economy was their best hold, and they
have economical just one dollar worth.
That ought to be honor enough for one
session.
AS pointed out by The HERALD, some
weeks ago, if the wolves are to be ex-
terminated it must be by iudicious
discrimination in regard to bourties.
BY paying heavy bounty on old wolves
and moderate bounty on young ones.
To do this, the county must have the
cooperation of the state. 1t is practi-
eally useless for this county, for instance,
to take the matter ON its own shout
ders and pay heavy bounty for old
wolves, when the county next adjoining
pays only light bounty. In that ease,
it would not be long until Grant County
would be paying bounties for all Of
southwestern Wisconsin
Either this question Of paying boun-
ties by the State, is right. or it is not.
Ii it is right, the subject should have re-
ceived more attention than is now paid
to it. Something more than misrepre-
sensations OF ignorant writers, should be
required before a decision is arrived at.
If it is wrong, then one dollar is as
bad as twenty.
AS about one-half OF the state is
troubled with these pests, it would seem
rs if the position claiming state aid in
/ their determination, was we'll taken.
There are hundreds of acres of lands
which could oe used for sheep-growing.
in this county alone, that are now of no
account, simply because of the presence
/ of wolves. To bring this into use, the
wolves must be exterminated. But
determination will never come until a
discretionary bounty law is passed.
One which will make it more Of an in
ducement to kill old wolves than young
ones. And this bounty cannot be paid
/ without state assistance. Therefore,
SO long as the state legislature persists
I in its present course, bounties viii have
to be paid; and the drain, of which so
much complaint is made. will be contin-
ucd.
