What Gloves Are to a Woman.
Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.


A critical observer makes this sensible re-
mark: "a woman's glove is to her what a
vest is to a man. Precisely. When man
is agitated or perplexed he at once attacks
his vest buttons, thus giving occasion for a
certain very expressive slang phrase A wo-
mans vest does not admit of this sort OF
pulling down." but her glove is always a
source OF inspiration and refuge from any
embarrassment. She smooths on the fingers,
rearranges the buttons, drags out the wrin-
kles, looks critically at the ft and does a
dozen little things with her glove that betray
or allay nervousness and quite sustain the
truth OF the above quotation,

A Clergyman's Handbook.
New York Letter.

title of Memorial Tributes" has been pub
lished by Treat, of this city. Such a volume
ought to prove a great help to clergymen,
who are frequently called on to bury the
dead. One of the hardest OF all varieties of
ministerial work is to speak at funerals The
fulsome compliment of the deceased has
largely gone out of fashion, as it should.
What is wanted is a brief address of comfort
to the bereaved. The temptation to most
clergvmen is to repeat themselves, and to
utter well-worn platitudes in the house OF
mourning. From this temptation, the book
ought to afford way of escape.

TO Prevent PittIng in Small Pox.
J. q. Bird, n D., in Medical and Surgical Re

. 81 g. HHF Ha
Smallpox is always more feared by the
people for its effects than for its danger.
AL persons have dread Of being marked
by It. There have been many remedies
suggested toprevent pitting, the majority
OF them being difficult and unpleasant IN
their application. FITTING rarely occurs up
on places Of the body excluded from air
and light. Pustulation is the result Of the
eruption exposed to those causes. The in.
dicaton, therefore, would seem to be to
prevent the action Of the air and light,
have accomplished this in several cases not
only in:those Of brunette, but blonde COM
plexions; in milo, as we'll as in severe eases
OF yariola or varioloid, by the use Of ONT
ment maze Of charcoal and lard, applied
freely over the surface of the face, neck
and hands applied as soon as the disease
is distinguished, and continued until all
the symptoms Of supera,ive fever had
ceased. The application allays the itching,
and seems to shorten the duration Of the
disease, and leaves the patient without
blemish; the eruption protected by the oint-
ment not even showing signs of pustula-
ton; the charcoal preventing the action Of
the light, and the lord that of the air. Of
course, during its application the patient
does not present very pleasing appear
ance, but temporary Disagreement is
preferable to permanent one.

Watering Plants in Sunshine.

sH
A widely accepted but very erroneous
belief which is cause of much loss
during summer heats, is the fear that if
plants are watered while the sun shines
upon the leaves it will harm them,
There may be some tender young leaves
of certain delicate and rare plants that
would suffer from a sudden wetting with
cold water under blazing sun, but I
have not met with such in vegetable
culture, and have long practised fire.
quent sprinkling of newly-set plants
during hot, dry weather to prevent their
beginning to wilt. If allowed to wilt at
all it is difficult to revive them. The
short or broken roots want little water
until their wounds are healed, and they
become able to collect and send on sup
plies to the leaves. During this term
frequent sprinkiing of the leaves IS
to prevent their tagging. A mere
sprinkle serves that purpose if often
enough given, without drowning the in
jured roots. Two great advantages are
gained by this frequent leafwetting-
four or five times a day in hot dry
weather, during two or three days after
transplanting-one that the planting
can be done wkile the ground is dry and
pliable, when it will not pack, and the
other that the leaves can all be left on
the plant instead OF being half cut off.
as is commonly done in planting cab
bage, celery, etc, to reduce the trans
spiratory surface until the roots recover.
Such cutting is great drawback to the
plant, and can only be justified when
there 10 no other practical way of saving
or continuing it's life.

Some Experiments in Feeding Pigs.
ebraska Farmer.
Last spring at the Iowa Agricultural
College was tried an experiment which
developed some points of int: est. Six
shotes were fed in two lots, one lot re-
ceiving only shelled corn, fifteen pounds
per day, the other the same weight of
6 )rn-meal moistened with water. After
continuing the ration for four weeks
two pounds were taken from each ra-
fIA vHta1 Il l.. L
same weight of oil-meal. When whole
cost of pork per pound was two and
four-ffths cents and three and one-tenth
cents; when the oil meal was added the
and one-fifth cents in the corresponding
lots. Corn is here valued at IS cents,
corn-meal at IA l-2 cents per bushel,
and oil-meel at one and one.
quarter centsper pound. 1t was OBJ
served that the pigs would eat their
mess of moistened meal in eight minutes,
while it took the others twentv-two min.
utes to eat the shelled corn. In this ex-
pertinent, with pork at B85, corn-meal
fed to pigs returned 81 per bu-hel and
whole corn SO cents. This experiment
points in the same direction as the one
reported some weeks ago, that about
feeding ensilage to fattening steers. It
will be remembered that in this case
the steers that were fed eEsilage gained
sixty-four pounds more than those fed
hay. 1t is not to be inferred that this
increased result is due to greater nutri-
tive value of ensilage, but rather that the
ensilage had the effect of in creasing
the digestibility of the corn fed with it.
1t Is Well-knOwn fact that two animals
will sometimes eat the same amount of
grain, and one will gain in flesh and the
other not. In certain conditions of the
digestive organs the power to assimilate
nutriment is so impaired that no more
is used than just what is sufficient to
keep up the ordinary operations of life.

creased gain in pigs fed small quantity
