False Hair.

In the days of the Emperor Trajan a
market was established in front of the
Temple of Apollo for the sale of false
hair and dyes and cosmetics of many
kinds, and it was in its time as fashion
able a rendezvous as the baths. All
Rome gathered there of a day. 1t was
in the glorious summe of prosperity
at a period when golden hair was the
9 The women tried in a thousand
ways to obtain the precious tint. They
bought eagerly all kinds of preparations
from foreign countries-pomades from
Greece and soaps from Gaul. The water
from the river Chrathis, which was
supposed to possess the Midaslike virtue
of turning all it touched to gold, was
one of the most popular washes" ever
offered to the Roman public. When this
wonderful water failed to produce the
desired result there remained but one
thing to be done, and that was to shave
the head. Then a fine crop of golden
hair came. 1t came from Germany or
Gaul, and from that day to this the
trade in human hair has continued in
the hands of the French and German
merchants.

Particular about His Society,

"Say Mister, y said a red-headed man
the other day, approaching a gentleman
who had just alighted from a ear at a
station to procure a sandwich ''say,
Mister, are you acquainted with that
lady you were sittin' with ?" Ger
tainly, sir,'' responded the gentleman
Indignantly ''that is my daughter"
.'Then you must know all about her,"
continued the red-headed man, con-
f~dentially. 81 say, is them teeth o.
hern natural ?" 'sThey are SIR" re-
piled the gentleman, REFRESHING his emo
ton. "And that hair. is that hair hern,
or is it a wig ?n .sThat hair is perfect
ly natural, y said the gentleman, sternly
with an uncomfortable itching in the
vicinity of the foot. "You don't tell"
smiled the red headed man in rapture
II say, does she paint or is that her

the bloom you are so coed as to notice

are giving me any steer on the racket,

the girl right up the s~tovepipe without
stoppin' to ask where you come from or
where you're going to !" And when
the gentleman lifted him off the plat
form with the toe of his boot the red
headed man got up and announced with
q smile that he knew the girl was all
made up from the first, and he'd be

The Kitchen.

BAKED QUINCEs.-Quinces baked
with the skins on r delicious when
served warm. Put one on a saucer at
each plate. If mashed with "a knife the
core is easily removed ; then put on a
little butter and plenty of sugar. In
process of baking the ounce loses the
strong taste which is disagreeable TO
many, and retains a delicate flavor that
is excellent.
OUNCES AS SWEET PICKLES =
Ounces make delicious sweet pickles.
Peel them, cut them in quarters,
stick two or three whole cloves in each
quarter, then steam them until tender,
and let them boil for a very few minutes
in the vinegar prepared for them; or
make the syrup of vinegar, sugar and
spices first, and boil the ounces in it
Till soft ; proceed just as for picked
pears or peaches, only that the ounces
being of so tough fibre, need cooking
longer. Seal in cans, and they
will furnish a good relish in days to
come.
CRAB-APPLE MARMALADE. - Mar
malade made of the common Siberian
crab-apple is not to be despised, and
for the children's lunch OF for tea with
| good bread and butter it is looked upon
as a luxury. Stew the apples, skins
and all, till they are very soft mash
| them adding light brown sugar to your
| taste. This may be put up in cans OF
in little earthern jars and sealed for
| winter use. Marmalade may also be
made of nice peach parings, with now
and then half a peach left in. This
latter dish is not recommended ex.
cept when fruit is scarce, and you
feel like making the most Of every part

DIR. G@tan Delaunay has just COM
nunicated an interesting paper to the
French Anthropological society, in
which he seeks to establish that n ;ht-
handedness is not an acquired habit,
but is a natural attribute, Characters
tic of the superior races. Savage tribes,
he states, and communities in an infe-
rior state of civilization, show a much
larger proportion of left handedness
than highly civilized people do. Idiots
and ~epileptics offer a very large psrcen-
tage of left handed individuals, and
there are more left-handed women than
men. His general conclusion is that in
the evolution of the species there has
been a steady tendency to the develop
mem of the right side Of the body at
the expense of the other, and that the
examples of left. handedness still TO be
met with in the superior race are msrs
''survivals."

Anecdote of Beethoven.

Beethoven passed one evening by a
! small house in Vienna, and heard some
n play a passage from his sonata in
f.
He stood still and listened, and heard
a soft voice say What would | not
sise 70 lear this piece played by some
n who could do it justice 7" The
great composer opened the door and en-
tered a small room, next to a shoemak-
er's store.
pardon me- said Beethoven, afraid
to come near, but | heard some one
play and was tempted to enter. l am a
musician myself" The young girl
who stood before him blushed, and the
young man who stood by her looked
rather severely at the intruder.
81 also heard some words you said,"
continued Beethoven ''you wished to
hear that is, you wanted-well, let
me play to YOU"
"Thank you," said the young shoe
maker but the piano is bad, and, be-
sides W. have nc notes.
"No notes ?" replied Beethoven,
"but how does the Young lady play ?"
He stopped and reddenld, for the
young girl had turned her face to him,
and her sad, darkened eyes told him
that she vas blind.
81 ask a thousand pardons, " he STAN
mered, ''but | did not see directly
then you played from memory ?"
Certainly"
"And where have you heard this mu-
sic P"
''In our street. They play the piano
near here, and when the windows are
opened''-
She said no more, and Beethoven
sat down to the piano and began to
play.
He may but seldom have played
with so much feeling as he did on that
evening, on the old piano, for the blind
girl and her brother. at last the shoe
maker got up, approached the COM
poser, and asked him softly:
Wonderful man, who are you ?"
Beethoven raised his head as if he
had not understood. The composer
smiled, as he alone could smile-with
his wonted serious, melancholy smile.
Listen, y he said, instead of answer
ing, and began the sonata in F, which
the girl had played before. Brother
and sister sprang up and screamed
with delight. They bad recognizedthe
player they called out 'sBeethovenl"
He had ended and wanted to go, but
they detained him, and begged-'Play
it only once more"
He was led back to the piano at that
moment the rays of the o came
through the uncurtained window and
fell upon the gentle face of the blind
girl, beautified by inner excitement.
Beethoven's plying glance met that of
the brother, who called out, "My poor
sister %
81 will play the 'Moonshine' for her,"
the master said, solemnly; his fingers
were already on the keys, and he began
that sad but sweet melody, whose tones
filed the room like the soft rays of the
moon-that heavenly melody which the
world later admired as the Moonlight
Sonata. "-Erchange.

In sight of twenty thousand men.

As all toward gay Paris turn.
Caressed the warrior, bronzed and worn
Aye, kissed him thrice, and wound one

Around his neck, and feared no harm.

Carpets or No Carpets

This is not a very easy question to an.
swer, as the circumstances differ greatly.
l can make a few suggestions that may
be of use. There is a paper made ex-
pressly for putting on the floor before
the carpet is laid. 1t is not expensive,
and will last a lifetime. 1t takes all the
dust, and makes house cleaning much
easier. A carpet sweeper is of great
comfort. The ordinary broom sweeps
the dust up into the room and covers
the sweeper as we'll as the furniture and
curtains with dust, which never gets
quite out of the room. Another plan
for keeping clean is to have a carpet
that does not cover the entire floor, a
space of two feet is left, and the heavy
furniture does not need to be moved.
The carpet can be taken up and beaten
as often as convenient, and the floor
mopped up. If the floor is good, and
can be painted, this is a good plan.
| Such a carpet, must be heavy, and can
be lined with bagging or coarse brown
straw bed covering to give it weight. In
Germany the painted floor is wiped up
every morning, and the smaller mats
are beaten. In France the beautiful
hard wood floors are waxed and pol.
ished; after all is finished and the room
busted, there is a sweet, clean odor and
a shining polish t. everything, that is
the cry perfection of comfort.-Corres-
pondence Country Gentleman.

Better Buildings.

The better buildings which are a lead
ing essential of our improved agricul-
ture must not only be warm in winter
but also wholesome to live in. Pure
air must constantly surround all breath
ing animals if we would keep them in
health. 1t is the oxygen Of the air that
changes blue blood to red in the lungs;
good air is even more necessary than
good food. Milk from COWS imprisoned
in a close stable reeking with the odors
of filth and co Eruption is not safe for
human beings. Disease germs Dor die
in pure dry air but in damp air they
live long and are ever ready to take pos
session Of animal life through the lungs
and otherwise. Disease germs lay hold
of us more readily when asleep than
when at work, showing the necessity of
abundant air in sleeping rooms. Stables
should receive pure air by means of
boxes extending from the floor to the
root or by other outside connection with
the pure atmosphere of heaven. Our
house cellars, too, with their stores of
vegetables, fruits, beef and pork bar
rels' and q Goldfish hanging at the head
of the stair to give a "body" to the air,
should have plenty of open windows for
the free winds to pass through, even
on warm days in winter.-NeW York

Modern Dairy Farming.

Modern dairy farming, says the Hon.
Hirman Smith, of Wisconsin, starts out
with keeping one COW On four acres, and
this should be the password to every
dairy lodge-"one COW to four a%cres;;"
and this should be rapidly reduced IN
til the undoubted possibility is reached
of keeping II to every acre.
One of the principles of modern dairy
farming is to have IL COWS give the
most milk when dairy goods are at at the he
winter. 1t has been repeatedly demon-
strated that a good herd of cows coming
into milk i'll September, October and
November will, in the average, give from
$500 to 5000 pounds of milk annually.
The milk is worth, to sell ut a factory, or
to manufacture into butter or cheese,
$l.3n per 100 pounds, or $3.50 as the
average for each COW. In other words,
dairy farming with one COW to eight
acres on 100 acres produces 81 100, mod
ern dairy farming with one COW to four
acres produces s., 1850, an increase of 81
500, by an outlay for feed and help--a
net profit of $40, a sum sufficient to raise
the price ofland from $50 per acre to
500 per acre.
A fundamental condition OF successful
farming is large crops of corn, not less
than two acres of fodder and four acres
of field corn for every ten COWS, or a to-
tai of t%wenty-four acres for forty COWS.
All the manure of the farm should be
evenly placed on these twenty-iour
acres during the winter, and the land
plowed previous to the 10th of May and
thoroughly narrowed, the corn planted
Immediately thereafter with a horse
drill, the rows three and one-half feet
apart, and the kernels from seven to
nine inches apart, and cultivated we'll
before the corn comes up with a fine
tooth harrow. Frequently thereafter
cultivate until the 10 of July, at Which
time, if the work has been honestly
done, it will be free from weeds with
never a hoe in the field, and it IS almost
certain to produce fifty bushels per acre
of shelled corn and thirty tons of fodder.
| 1t takes less labor to raise tw%enty-four
acres Of corn as described above, than
to raise half that amount planted in hills
and the cultivation deferred until you
