Old Chairs

With the revival of old furniture, the
etraight-backed rockers Of our great
grandmothers seem to find place in
modern homes. It is quite the fashion
to fit up the old chair which used to
stand in the chimney corner seventy
i've years ago, and which has rocked the
children Of the past generation. If an
heirloom Of this kind can be made pref.
" and attractive. why should it not be?
The old chair metsmorphosed so that
our preat.grandmother VI uld never re-
cognize it, perhaps, is reminder of the
dear old people who endured many
hardships in those early days. The first
thing to he done to modernize tho an
cient piece of furniture is to
take sff the old paint and
smooth the rough wood with
glass and sandpaper. After this process
has been gone through with very care.

with very fine sand paper and another

they will add to the generas effect. The
chair itself renovated, it is next or, a.
mented with handsome plush cushions.
One is fitted to the back and fastened
on with bows of ribbons at the two up

softer, just nicely fits the seat. Very

chair OF this kind were circumstances

chair had two sprays oil golden rod with
ferns and bright colored maple leaves
embroidered on it in arrasene. The
whole effect was charming and the old
chair chair compared favorably with its
elegant neighbors.

Study Your Farms

Rich or poor, humble or ambitious,
the farmer ought TO study closely what
will best suit his farm, examining close
ly the points and qualities of his own
cattle and those of his ncighbors. II
he determines dairying is best for him,
he must examine the question Of guam
tity and quality of milk, and its value
for the production of butter and cheese;
the time that the cows continue in milk;
the character of the breed for gentle.
ness, their predisposition to disease,
and the natural tendency to turn nutri-
ment to milk; the ease with which she
is fattened and value as beef when
she is given up as mixer, the pro-
portion of food requisite to keep them
in full milk or to fatten when dry. II
grazing is decided to be the main busi-
ness, then consider the kind of stock
which the farm will best be suited for,
the kind of meat most in demand ut the
greatest profit in his neighborhood. the
early maturity, the quickness of fatten-
lng at any age, the quality of the meat;
the part on which the flesh and Fat are
principally laid, and last Of all, the
haIdihood and adaptation to the climate
and soil. When farmer wisely settles
all of these questions, he will find he
has but little time to loiter about neigh-
normg street corners.-NOrthwestern

Keep the Babies Warn,

How to keep babies warm in winter is
always a problem. The best way is not
only to provide them with knitted or
merino underwear, but also with little
sacks to wear outside their white dress
es. These can easily be made either in
6ne-checked flannel or crocheted; they
need not be shaped at all, but simply cut
in plain, straight pieces for back and
front, a space being left for sleeves, and
narrow hem at the neck, provided
with fine ribbon string so that 1t can
DO drawn to fit. The sleeves should he
made with q hem at the wrist so that
they can be tied in the same way, fitting
tightly to the little arm. Such little
acks add immensely to the warmth
and therefore to the comfort of the lie.

warm enough. Very pretty hoods can
be made by knitting in white wool and

There b an unusual amount o. illness

among hardworked people who have

rest and relaxation, men who carry

OF the first Importance In many cases.
Most physicians know what to do and
when to do it, but a odd deal OF common
sense is required to discover how not to
do something and when to let the patient
alone. A combination of drugging and
fretting kills more than half the sick
people in the world. A mans enemies

the docter's skill by the wonderfully
wise look which he assumes, and the
extent or. variety of his prescriptions;
and . sick mans friends hate to seem
unsympathizing, and 80 are apt to be
oflicious. 1t is to be understood, OF
course, that we are not speaking of ex-
treme cases, but of the treatment OF

Warmth and Pure Air for stock.

The loss from unnecessary exposure of
stock in western attitudes amounts to
millions of dollars in this country every
winter, and the Importance Of the cues.
ton OF shel.er for stock needs to be I'D.
vocated. There is usually much less OK.
posure OF horses than cattle, and the
former are better enabled to bear the

and while with an abundance of hearty
food before them they are capable of en-

Many farmers allow their stock to be
unnecessarily exposed in winter, from
mere carelessness and ignorance Of the
laws pertaining to the health and com.
fort Of all animals. They need to be re-
minded that the heat IN All warm.
blooded animals requires to be kept at
nearly the temperature, and that when
the weather becomes cold or stormy,
as IN winter, some provision must be
made to keep up the animal heat TO
its normal degree. This may usually be
accomplished by feeding the animals
neaVlly OF stfong concentrated food, but
i can be done much cheaper BY provid-
ing suitable protection against the cut

Wills ana Heirs.

An action full Of fine moral courage,
which was brought before the English
courts lately, would have delighted the
soul of Thackeray. 1t might nave been
the deed Of his own Henry Esmond.
A Colonel T. became twenty years ago
the heir to large estate, by the death
of his elder brother. In 1881 he re-
ceived the intimation that this brother
had been privately married, and that a
child, born of this marriage, had been
left at nurse in certain village of York.
shire. Colonel T., who was with his
regiment in India, obtained furlough,
and set lawyers and detectives toswork
to trace the lost child.
1t was found that it had been sent to
an almshouse, and there all trace of it
was lost. But the colonel was not sat-
istied. He pursued his inquiries for
year for this child, who, if discovered
would dispossess him of his inheritance.
The missing heir was, found at last in
the person OF an educated seryant-maid
in q farmers family. Colonel T., as soon
Oh the legal proof Of her identity was
established, went to her, told her of
her good fortune, placed her in the care
of teachers and masters, and made over
the property to her; and then having
bic English gentleman, returned to his
regiment poorer but a nobler man.
Another story equally true, and even
more dramatic, comes from the record
of the marlborough Assizes. Robert
Baldwin made will disinhe.iting his
eldest son, George, and giving his estate
to his son John. Seen after he became
childish, and 80 continued until his
death; his son, George, having found
the will, hid it, and entered into DOS.
session Of the estate; which he held for
tWenty:one years. s4ss
At the end OF that time he, in turn,
became incensed at his elder son, Rob-
ert, and made will in favor Of the sec.
ond boy, Edwin. Edwin, however was
extremely fond of his brother. and in
order to prevent this injustice, BY which
he was to benefit, he opened the secret
drawe. of his fathers desk toSdestroy
the will. He there fouRd his grandfath-
er's will, by which the entire estate was
left to his Uncle John. This document
he showed to his brother5 and the two

dict for the plaintiff; who was thus re-.
stored to his estate after twenty-five
years."
Another anecdote narrated as fact is
that of certain miser named Case in
Woolwich, who collected: all his kinsfolk,
and told them that il any of them
crossed his threshold, he wonld not leave
them penny. When the cid man be-
came i'll however, one of them, a little
girl: took pity on him; and in spite Of
his incessant abuse and threats, nursed
and waited on him. It was found after
his death that lie had made her his sole
heiress. -, >,>>'N
