Effect of Bangs on a Girl.

Bangs on a girl give hers an unruly
look, like a COW with a board owe
her face. You take the gentlest COW
in the world and put a board I'VE
her face, and turn her out in a pas
ture and she gets the reputation of
being unruly, and you would swear
she would jump fences and raise
merry Hades, and you wouldn'tgive
so much for her by ten dollars, only
for beef. 1t is so with the girl. If
she wears her hair high on her for
head, OF brushed back, or even had
~frizzes, and has agood look, you will
bet your bottom dollar on her, and
feel that she is as good as gold, and
when she tells her young man that
she loves him. there is no discount
on it, and no giggling back; but take
the same girl, with her front hair
banged, and when she looks at you
You feel Just as though she would
hook, and you can't trust her. She
has a fence jumping look that makes
a young man feel as though he
wouldn't feel safe unless she was
tied hand and foot SO she couldn't
get out of the pasture. A girl with
bangs may try to be good and true,
but its awful hard work. When she
looks at herself in the glass and sees
the quarter of her forehead, she says
to herself:
Il am dangerous they want to
look out for me-"
She thinks she is all right, but she
is constantly doing that which a girl
who wears her hair brushed back
would not think of doing. The bang
girl may belong to the church, and
may try to put on apious look while
the hymn is being read. But she
will look out from behind those
bangs sidewise at some meek and
lowly young Christian who is trying
to get mis- mind fixed on the hymn,
and he will get his mind fixed on
her, and it will break him all up,
and he won't know whether he is
singing-"A charge to keep | have
or "She's a daisy" The bang girl
may place her bangs down ON the
back Of the pew ahead of her during
the morning prayer and try to be
good, but one eye will rise like the
morning sun over the back of the
pew, and that eye will catch the eye
of a young man two seats to the
right, who is trying to cover bis face
with one hand while he tries to keep
the flies off the pomade on his hair
with the other, and his interest in
the PRAYER is knocked into a cooked
hat. The banging of a girls hail
changes the whole nature of the lit.
tie wretch, and she becomes as gun
that is loaded. You take a picture
of Byzantine" and bang her hair and
she would look as though she would
run at" people.

The Value of Good Steck

1t is notin the power of any class
to monopolize the privilege of breed
ing the best, and it is the duty of
every farmer to take heed and learn
lesson from the experience of those
who make a specially of breeding
for blood and merit. Farmers adj
mire good stock as highly as any
class, but they are slow to avail
themselves of the advantages they
possess. A man who lately sold a
high-priced colt was not a farmer,
He knew nothing of stock-raising
outside of horses. He was not even
a judge of any breed of horses except
the one he was accustomed to, and
yet he disdained to raise a scrub
colt. What he has done can be done
by every farmer, and while it is not
expected that SO large a sum will be
realized for a young colt as 5000,
which he received, yet it is an easy
matter to raise one that will sell far
up in the hundreds. Are farmers
and s~tockraisers willing to be idle
and see novices outsell them, and
beat them at their favorite pursuit?
But it is not the trotter alone that
brings the higher prices. A good
farm horse bred from first-class
draught material, and OF known
blood, has a marketable price which
is commanding. The scrub is a
parasite, and the farmer who does
not know better than to breed bis
mares to anything and everything
because the fee is low, had better
abandon his calling and leave it to
others to follow. As with horses, Sc
with other stock. Inferiority il
stock is the sign-post OF bankruptcy
and points unerringly to destruction,
for experience has proved hat nc
farmer has yet been a irst-class prac-
titioner on the farm who did not
keep a close watch on the method Of
breeding his animals and keeping
them up to perfection.

HOW WATCHES ARE MADE.

In a SOLID GOLD WATCH, aside from
the necessary thickness for engraving and

needed only to stifien and hold the engrav-
ed portions in place, and supply strength.
The surplus gold is actually needless. In

WASTE is saved, and and

steel rollers. From this the cases, backs.

The EIoquencc Which Won an Old
Soldiers Suit.

A distinguished company of law
yers sat in the Supreme Court room
recently talking over old times.
Among them was Colonel Charles
is. Spencer. He was in his usual
happy vein, and told a new story.
Il was retained" he said, 'by an
ex-soldier of the war to sue for the
recovery of some $500, which he
had loaned to a friend. The late
Edmin James was counsel for the
defendant. l went to work zealously
for my client. James ros examin-
ed the plaintiff in his usual forcible
way"
you loaned him s1,SOO?" Mr..
James asked.
81 did sir"
at was your own money!" Mr..
James continued.
1T was, sir" my client respond
ed.
When did you lend him the
money ?" was the next question
asked.
"In July, 1867
"Where did you get the money,
isir?"
Il earned it, sir"
"You earned it, Ell? When did
you earn it ?"
During the war, sir" was the re-
ply, still in a very humble tone.
You earned it during the war.
Pray, what was your occupation
during the war ?" Nh. James asked.
Fighting" the man replied mod
estly.
ooh, fighting" Mr.. James said,
somewhat taken down, and instantly
! changing his manner.
II smiled triunphantly, and even
snickered a little. James was half
mad. Well, we went to the jury and

the war, OF the lives and treasures it
cost US of the awful battles that de-
cided the fate of the Union; of the
self denial and bravery of our men
who left home, and wife, and chill
dren, and father and mother, and
everything that was dear to them,
and went forth to fight for Preside
and freedom, and the salvation OF
the nation. | pointed to the plaintiff
as he sat there, still with the same
air of humility, and ever sadness. |
said that was the sort of a man who
had fought our battles and saved our
flag, and shed his life's blood that
we and our children might enjoy,
uncurtailed, the glorious blessings
of freedom wrenched from the hands
OF despots by u sires. | worked
up that jury, and the plaintiff him
self drew forth an unpretentious
handkerchief and wiped away a
tear. / got a verdict for the full
amount, of course.
"As we were quitting the court
room James SAID: Spencer, your
war speech gained you the verdict.
If you hadn't discovered through my
cross examination that the man had
fought in the war, you would have
been beaten"
My friend" | replied, "if you had
only asked the man which side he
fought on, you might be going home
with a verdict. My client was an
f old rebel"

How Butter May be Spoiled.

Good butter may be spoilt in
churning. Over churning ruins the
texture and changes the proper wax
mess to adisagreeable, sickly greasi-
ness This is the more easily done
in a churn with dashers. which will
press the butter against the sides of
the churn and squeeze and rub 1T
until it is spoiled. Too long churn-
ing spoils the quality by the oxida-
ton of the butter and the premature
formation of strong-fiavored acids in
it, the full presence of which We call
rancidity. 1t may be spoilt by too
high a temperature, by which it Is
made soft and oily, and Of greasy
texture and flavor. No subsequent
treatment can remedy this error.
1t may be spoilt before the cream
reaches the churn by keeping it too
long, or what is practically the same,
by keeping it in too warm a place ;
90 degrees is about the right tenn
perature ifthe cream is kepta week
if it is kept at 81 degrees, three days
is long enough. White specks are
produced in butter by over churning
it or by having the cream too sour.
either of these faults produce curd In
the milk, and the small flakes of
this cannot be washed out OF the
butter. Milk from a COW in i'll
health. and that is acid when drawn,
will produce specky butter. So will
the use of salt containing specks of
lime, which unite with the butter
and form insoluble lime soap. White
specks are covered up to a large ex-
tent by using good coloring, which
is made of oil as the solvent. But
this use of coloring being used to
disguise a fault, and to add an I'M
deserved virtue, is most worthy OF
| denunciation

HALEY stated to reporter that the Arch
bishop was in unusually good health, better,
in fact, than he has been for the past two
years. He recognized both the Bishop and
Father HALEY, and smiled when they shook
hands with him. He endeavored TO speak
but his articulation. was so poor that he
could not be understood. He eats and sleeps
well, and seems to enjoy himself in the COM

years of his life as pleasant as possible.
