DIR. HOLMES ON WOMEN
PHYSICIANS.

What is there in the hour of anguish |
like the gentle presence, the quiet voice, |
the thoroughly trained and skilful hand |
of the woman who was meant by nature
and has been taught by careful discipline
to render those services which money
tries to reward, but only gratitude can
repay? l have always felt that this was
rather the vocation of woman than gen.
eral and especially surgical practice.
Yet myself followed a course of lee
lures given by the younger Madame La
chapelle, in Paris, and if here and there
an intrepid woman insists on taking by
storm the fortress of medical education,
I would have the gate flung open to her
as if it were that of the citadel of Orleans
and she was Joan Of Arc returning from
the field of victory. I have often wished
that disease could be hunted by its pro-
fessional antagonists in coupless-a doc
tor and doctors quick-witted wife max
ing joint visit and attacking the patient
I mean the patients malady, of course
with their united capacities. For l am
quite sure that there is natural clair
voyance in woman which would made
her as much the superior of man in some
| particulars of diagnosis as she certainly
| is in distino gushing shades of color.
Many a suicide wonld have been pre-
vented if the doctors wife had visited the
day before it happened. She would have
seen in her merchants face his impending
| bankruptcy, while her stupid husband
was prescribing for dyspepsia, and in
| dorsiDg his note; she would recognize
the love-lorn maiden by an ill-adjusted
ribbon, line in the features, droop in
the attitude, tone in the voice, which
mean nothing to him, and so the brook
must be dragged tomorrow. The dual
arrangement of which l have spoken is, l
suppose, impracticable, but a woman's
advice, suspect, often determines her
husbands prescription. Instead of a
curtain lecture on his own feelings, he
gets clinical lecture, on the puzzling
case, it may be, of neighbor suffering
from the complaint known to village no.
sology as ''a complication of diseases,
which her keen eyes can see into as much
better than his as they would through the
eye of a small-sized needle. She will fine

HOME COMFORT.

There are certain principles to be OBJ
served in ii room if it is to impress Wis
itor with sense of comfort or beauty.
For one thing there should be variety. 1t
is not necessary to buy whole set OF
furniture alike, but there should be one
prevailing color, solid basis on which
to build. There should also be care TAX
en- to furnish the wall spaces. 1t is an
admirable plan to pull a sofa out, but if
in doing so 4 great empty space is left,
the room is made bare. In such a case
the sofa must be turned so as to break
stiff line, and yet remain against the wall.
But the great secret of comfort and of
giving an immediate effect of pleasing
living is in the making of corners. What
does an open fire amount to il an easy
| chair does not stand in front of it, or a
! lovely view from window if the curtain
! has to be drawn mp and the visitor stand
| to look. No, what we want is the chair
| by the fire, the light on the table and The
lounge pushed near it; the easy seat by
the window where good light falls all
ready and waiting. 1t is all in vain to
put baskets of bright woods about, or
magazines, or portfolios OF engravings,
to give 'shome look" if the convenient
and comfortable seat is not added. The
visitor who, coming in, finds an easy
chair by the window, and near it the lit
tie stand for the magazine, can endure
waiting few moments, because he feels
that his welcome has met him. The chail
by the window, the fan ready to be picked
up, the bench under the tree, the seat or
the porch, are the successes of hospitali
ty. 1t is not given to everyone to appre
ciate pictures, or to feel color, but every
one delights in being made comfortable

PRONOUNCED THE BEST.

The farmers throughout this section of
the country devote Il great deal of their
attention to dairying and consequently
are interested in the subject of butter col
orS, and DESTROYS of aScertaining which of
the many in the market is the best and
also the cheapest. 1t is noticeable fact
that, at the agricultural fairs in New York
and the New England states, the improved
butter color, made by Wells, Richardson
& Co., of Burlington, VT, has taken first
premiums wherever exhibited, triumphing
over all competitors. Its superiority over
all others is marked by the following
properties: 1t never turns rancid as so
many of the oil colors do. 1t gives Il nat
ural, bright color which is just what is
desired, result which is often promised
but seldom if ever obtained by others. 1t
is far the strongest and therefore the
cheapest butter color made. 1t gives
universal satisfaction, and dairymen who
have once used it will have no other. 1t
will not color the buttermilk.
The verdict pronounced by the county
fairs is of the utmost importance and car
ries great weight from the fact that the
judges are practical men, farmers and
dairymen, who know just what is needed
and know at once whether the promised

MAKING QUILTS AND COM
FORTS BY MACHINERY.

Quilt-making by machinery is a new in
dustry, and ST. Louis has one of the four
manufactures in the United States en-
gagged in it, and the only one in the west
operated by steam.
All cotton used is run thorough a ''pick-
err" which, while loosening the staple in
to light batting, thoroughly cleans it. By
an endless apron the batting is conveyed
from the picker into an upper room, and
thence transferred to tables forming part
of the several quilting machines and
spread on to the cloth which is to form
the lining of the quilts. simultaneously,
this lining with it's overlay of fluffy cotton
and the double width prints for the COW
ering are automatically drawn forward
between two horizontal pressure rolls at
the passage from which is an array of
needles extending the width of the quilt
ing. At this point the continuance may
be described as a many-needled sewing
machine, operating with such rapidity as
to stitch a full-sized quilt in single min
ute.
One of these machines, which, by the
way, is exclusively the right of this COM
pany, rivals the feats of Il japanese Jug
gler in its eccentric figure stitching. The
operator can at pleasure divert the
needles from straight line stitching to
zigZag, to serpentine, wave or double
wave, diamond or double diamond, and
several other ornamental figures. The
variety of decorations of the prints used
must accommodate every conceivable
taste. No less than 1875 distinct patterns
are represented in the stock now making,
comprising in hues the brilliant, the So
Der, and all between, embellishing
arabesque and Mosaic designs, dainty
flowers, pretty birds, children at play,
limitations of the grandmother patchwork,
and even studies from the brushes of art
lists.
Forty different grades of comforts are
produced, covered by as many grades
from the lowest to the highest-of Amer
ICdu anu European pfluGS. DuC even III
the cheapest Of them the filling is clean
cotton.
Leaving the needle where we left it in
its course of making, the quilting passes
back under the machine and on to a cyl
inder, from which, subsequently, it is cut
into lengths for bed service. These are
then taken in hand by girls in charge OF
power sewing machines, and by them
neatly hemmed. Now the goods are car
ried to inspection tables, where experts
search for defects in stitching, which, il
| any be found, are amended by girls en-
| ployed at machines for this purpose. The
faultness goods are dropped through 6
chute into packing room, where, by
means of a press, they are compactly
baled, dozen in each package, with sub
stantial coverings fitting them for ship
ment.

KILLING FOwLs.-It has always appear
ed to the writer that the mode of killing
fowls by wringing their necks was an I'M
natural one, and also an unhealthy one to
the consumer of the fowls. Killing in
this way, the blood coaglates in the body
of the fowl, and soon becomes putrid. It's
tendency therefore is to render the flesh
unhealthy. There may be no preceptible
taste or smell about it, but decay has
commenced, and the germs Of disease
have been formed. Instead of Wrin9ing
the neck, let the head be severed from the
body at one blow, and the fowl hung up
by the feet until the last drop of blood
has left the veins. Whatever poisonous
or injurious germs may have been in the
blood will thus have escaped, leaving the
flesh sweet and wholesome. Wringing
the neck seems barbarous. When the
life of an animal is taken let it be done
with as little suffering as possible.

may be used in place of the cranberries.
Slices of peaches put in layers make de-
licious variation.

A new fancy in the crazy quilt line is
to have in the exact centre of the quilt a
block of plain satin with the initials, in
monogram or otherwise, of the owner of
the quilt Another new departure is to
have each block the embodiment of an
idea, or at least to have each block de-
velop method in madness. For example,
let one have Kensington work in outline
patterns only, another needlework of diff.
ferent kind, or applique, or painting. The
foundation of these blocks must necessa-
rily be of plain colors in silk, satin OF
velvet.

How Watch Cases are Made.

The many great improvements intro
duced in the manufacture of the Jas. Boss
Gold Watch Case, have led to similar i'm
provements in the making of silver cases.
Under the old methods, each part of a
silver case was made of several pieces of
metal soldered together, requiring great
amount of cutting and soldering, which
softened the metal and gave it the pliability
of lead rather than the elasticity of silver
Under the improved methods, each part
Of the keystone Silver Watch Case is made
of one solid piece of metal hammered into
shape. The advantages are readily appar-
ent, for every one knows that hammering
hardens the metal while soldering softens it.
To test the superiority of the Keystone
Silver Watch Case, take one of or. weight,
press it squarely in the center when closed,
and it will not give, while case of same
weight of any other make viii give enough

How TO FERTILIZE FRUIT TREEs.-Here
and there on all farms and in most fruit
gardens will be seen an occasional tree or
grapevine, which seems to lack vigor-
does not grow well, and yet seems to
have no particular disease. The proba-
bilities are that the tree is dying of starry
alton and needs liberal supply of food.

glng that Honorable Body to per
NIT them to open u Market at the

This lS something that has long
been wished for by the people in
that vicinity. "A market where
they can 60 at q reasonable hour

it will be opened every Saturday
