Farming certainly has its reverses and
drawbacks, but amid them all the farmer
may take hope that after all he is secure.
Farming is the safest of labor. The soil
does not 60 into bankruptcy, and always
pays its owner according to the efforts
made to improve and fructify it. Nor
does the farm embezzle anything. As II
debtor il can be trusted. AS clerk it can
be relied upon. This is more than many
business men can say. The soil always
pays something. and if the laws of nature
are not violated by the owner, the farmer
will not try to put into operation the alb
surd notions of science, falsely so called.
The farm does not stop before the work is
done, though its owner sometimes does
As a business then. farming is safe; it
can be depended upon. 1t will give the
farmer a good living for himself and fam
lily, and something over for money. No
one living can fare better than the farmer.
He has the choice of everything that is
made and a boundless variety to suit all
seasons and all whims of appetite. True
he must work, but it is work that has. or
may have, many and frequent intervals of
rest and recreation. There is drudgery.
but ii is not ceaseless; there is a heavy
and eXacting labor. but il is admirably
distributed throughout the season. coming
little at time rs need be. And the re-
wards of farming-of good farming. at
least-are certainly fair, ireqently almost
princely. The farmer need not continue
poor man. Farming does pay.

Cob Meal.

Corn cobs as shown by chemical analy-
sis, possess considerable nutriment When
cattle are fed corn on the ear they often
eat the cob after pretty thorough mastica-
ton, and less of the cob than the grain
will be found in their droppings. This
seems to show that corn cobs not only
possess nutriment. but that cattle are able
to digest them and make use of them
When well ground, good deal of labor
is saved cattle, and one would say the cob
is better fitted for the stomach than when
it is chewed by the animal. In large num-
bers of cases cattle-have been fed on such
meal with satisfactory results, 1t is true.
however, that in many cases the practice
has been abandoned. Our own trials have
not been conclusive. We are now using
such meal for cattle, old and young, but
are not prepared to say positively that the
cob is of advantage. Only few days
since we were talking with two experinced
and successful cattle breeders. neither OF
whom liked this meal after trial. One
preferred whole grain for young stock
and meal without the cob. for older cat
tie. We have made lille trial of such
meal except with cattle.

Luring Dogs to Their Death.

Some time since the dogs ofthis village be-
came accustomed to chase a cat, which, to
escape them, ran under barn. There was
situated beneath the barn an old well in
which were from one to four feet Of water.
There was an open space, so that the cat
could go anywhere under the barn, but when
a dog followed her under it, it being dark,
she adopted the plan to run and jump direct
y over the well. The dog, not noticing IT,
would ''land" in the water. This practice
she pursued until she had jumped some half
dozen dogs into the bottom Of the we'll.
whether there was any design on her part in
this mode of procedure, or whether she was
interested in the soap business carried on By
the owner Of the barn, no one but the cat
knows. This may seem to be . joke, but the
foregoing facts can be proved by seversl re-
spectacle Witnesses htand Pond Herald.

Eyes.
"Thc bright black eye, the melting blue,
can not choose between the two;
But that is dearest all the while,
Which wears for ms the sweetest smile -

But thaf Is dearest all the while,
Which wears for MS the sweetest smile
There is much truth i'm these last two
lines. The eyes We love best are the best
eyes, the most beautiful to u.s.
But all eyes are not alike. and all have
not the same meaning. Black and brown
eyes say different things from the blue or
gray eyes. Each has story of its own,
and a way of telling it.
There are eyes which glow with pas
sion. eyes that languish with love, eyes
which sparkle with mirth, eyes that fash
with indignation.
Some are calm and serene, others trou-
bled and restless. Some penetrate right
through you, some entreat, some COM
mand, and some are meaningless, and
have a vacant stare till the mind stirs
within, and illumines them.
The first thing which generally strikes
us in looking at the eye is its size. Large
eyes have always been admired, especially
il, women and are considered essential to
the highest types OF beauty.
We read of large, spirited eyes" and
"eyes loving. large" of little, sparkling,
beady eyes to which the term loving and
spirited could never be applied.
The Arabs express their ideas of Wo-
mans beauty, by saying she has the eye
of the gazeli~ and the eye is ever the
theme of THEN +ng. Homer repeats the
epithet, 1.-THE on Eyed Queen whenever
he allndes to Juno. and indeed beautiful
ewes are not confined 10 the human race.
but give likewise expression to the head
of the horse. the dog. and many of the
nobler animals.
The most beautiful eyes have a long
rather than a wide opening Eyelids
which are widely expanded so as to give
a round form TO the eye, like those of the
cat and owl, indicate ability to see much.
with little light. and receive mental i'm
pressions from surrounding objects on the
contrary, eyelids which more closely COW
er over the eye, denote less facillitv of
impression. but clearer insight, more
definite ideas. and greater steadiness and
permanence Of action.
Round-eyed people see much and live
much in the senses. but think less Mar
row-eyed persons see less, but think more.
and feel more intensely. Persons with
prominent eyes are always found to have
great command Of language, and are elo.
quent speakers and fluent writer's. But il
may be observed that as projecting eve
most readily receives impressions from
all surrounding objects, SO it indicates
quick and universal observation, but a
lack Of close scrutiny and perception oI
individual things.
Such eyes are every thing in general
but nothing in particular.
Deeply-seated eyes On the contrary re-
ceive more definite. accurate, and deeper
impressions, but are less readily imDress
ed, and less discursive in their views.

When Nellie Grsnt-sweet little demure
Nellie Grant-was married to an English
dude with base ball head, named AlgernOn
Sartoris, nearly everybody in the country
said, in view of all that General Grant had
dene to save the Union, that It was pity that
his daughter couldn't have fastened her affec-
tions on a thrifty Young citizen Of the United
States. But the dear girls all have q fancy
for foreign swells. and so Nellie married the
Sartoris. And now the Sartoris has turned
up as the lover Of the charming Mrs. Bush,
who has an aged husband and who has large
liquid blue eyes, and who dresses her hair In
wavelets. Great is the scandal, because the
Grants are conspicuous people and the little
Sartoris, who looks like an English Jeemes
Yellowplush. has been well advertised. There
is moral in all this which must not be lost
Perhaps the Sartoris has done no worse than
a native American would hsve done if he had
married into the Grant family, but, girls,
you are all pretty and we think all the world
of you. and we want this advice to settle
down deep in your minds-dont marry for
eigners. Fight shy Of the adventurers who
come across the water seeking wives. In
nine cases out Of ten these marriages turn out
badly. Resolve, dear girls, to marry none
but American citizens, and don't marry then
unless you are remarkably well acquainted
with the gentleman who asks your hand. 1t
were better not to marry at all and be a tele.
graph operator, than to marry a foreign for
tune hunter.

Cold and gray.

And the sobbing of the brook
In the tai de de di nook,
Brings the ira la. la crook

this on the left side. This is used by young
ladies with pink, blue or cream-colored
dresses of plain satin. or of ottoman silk
or of the inexpensive surshs. Similar
plasrons and vests are made of the black
beaded net that has chenille designs on it,
TO be worn with black satin dresses; there
are also transparent sleeves and plain front
breadths of this net made of the material,
which is about twenty inches wide. Love
ly draperies for ecru and tan colOred satins
are shown of golden brown net with che
mile flowers, detached for the greater part,
and border OF foliage for garniture.
The latest impOrtations OF dinner and
evening dresses have trains of great width
arranged in slightly bouff4nt mass on the
tournure, and falling thence in straight
lines to the end. Five or six breadths Of
velvet are used in these trains, while the
wider satins have four or fse breadths.
The top Of such train is almost as full as
the lower part, and is caught up In two
poufs that meet in the plscket seam and
stand outward sharply the lower edge is
gracefully rounded, and is cut in leaves
that fall on a narrow plait ng OF the mate
rial, with perhaps some lace laid on the
plaits. This train and the basque must be
of the same fabric, and il is the fancy this
season to make these two parts OF q plain
material, usually velvet or satin, and leave
the vest and peticoat front breadths as the
base of all ornament, such as lace fronts or
tiOunces, embroidery or net, or the new
Oriental brocaded velvets where colOred
pearl beads follow the design of richly COL
ored flowers. These front breadths are now
very flat, and may consist of merely two
wide breadIhs of satin with the same down
the middle -as. for instance, OF black satin
with dropping loops Ct chenille all over il
and a jet bali in each loop this is hand
some with train of four wide breadths of
white satin, and the connecting seams
down the sides covered by lengthwise satin
scarfs edged with chenille and lace, put on
in gathers at the top and curving gradually
TO narrower space at the foot. Black
velvet trains of FIVE straight breadths have
the front and side bresdIhs of white bro
caded velvet cut in points at the foot, and
falling on a narrow plating of white satin.
Titan red velvet train of six flowing
breadths has plated vertugardin puff Of
the same at the top of the front, which
curves into the sides of the train, and forms
the sharp butterfly puffs that give bouff-
ant tournure; the front below the vertugard-
in is embroidery of cOiored pearls on n
groundwork of pale yellow satin. The
basque OF velvet, with pointed neck and
high shouldered sleeves, is pointed back
and front very sharply to rest on the vertu-
gardin puff, and has a vest of the beaded
satin.
