Hair-Dressing.

High coiffures are again in vogue,
though the low coil on the nape of the
neck is by no means abandoned. For
those who wear the high Elizabethan
rufs, and others to whom it is becom-
ing, the hair is now arranged in two
small coils high on tAe crown that seem
to emerge from the French twist below.
The front middle hair is drawn back
from the forehead to these coils, while
on the temples are irregularly curved
locks of short hair. One or two shell
pins shaped like large hair-pins may be
thrust through the high coils for gen
eral wear; on dress occasions an al
grette or two short ostrich tips may be
worn high on the left side, or there may
be pins set with jewels or with Rhine
stones. Young ladies who have the
low broad Greek forehead adopt the Sc
we're style of drawing the hair straight
back, and brushing smoothly to the coil
behind, showing the contour of the
head, and emitting all shading of locks
above the brow. If the face is long
oval, the high forehead needs to be
partly covered, and the hair is drawn
back more loosely, and allowed to droop
slightly in front. The bang is worn
shorter than it formerly was, and may
be very thick and straight, or else
slightly waived. Very full and fluffy
bangs are also worn in an exaggerated
fashion that is unbecomming and most
untidy-looking. The invisible net that
formerly fiattened the hair above the
forehead is now little used, bandoline is
abandoned, the curls are loose and I'M
confined, and the hair has its natural
gloss heightened by much brushing in
stead of by use of pomades. Very lit
tie false halr is worn. Short switches
are arranged in coils, or perhaps in
bow, but are seldom braided or formed
in pufs. Occasionally short curls are
added Just back of the ears, or low on
the nape of the neck Older ladies part
the front hair in the middle, and draw
it back in long loose waves instead of in
close crimps; their back hair is ar
ranged in coil, which is rather small,
and may be either high or low. The
Pompadour front is fashionable for
gray hair, but must not be rolled very
high; this is especially becoming when
the hair is light gray, and the forehead
is low and broad. Horper' Bazaar.

Summer Management Of Pigs.

Every farmer should make the best
use of his resources. Grass is a cheap
food for pigs, and most healthy and
profitable diet. Much of the profit on
pigs must come from a proper use of
grass as summer food. Some have ex-
pressed very grave doubts whether pigs
can be fed at a profit in pen all their
lives, but we do not think there is any
doubt about it. For, if the best feeding
will not pay for the food given pigs,
then they must be considered unprofta-
bic animals position wholly untena-
BILE, as it has been abundantly proved
that the pig is the best utilizer of food
on the farm. We fully believe in the
use of grass for pigs; and, if obliged to
keep pigs constantly in pen, would carry
the grass to them, purely as a matter of
health, but better health will make bet
ter thrift. We know that pigs will pay
q profit when every pound of food from
the first to the last day of their lives is
charged at the market price. But this
requires full feeding, with due regard to
every precaution for health.
IF these doubters mean that the pig
can not be fed, at profit, wholly upon
concentrated food, we shall not dispute
the conclusion. But it is not difficult
to give pigs the benefit of grass or other
green food in pen.
We fully believe in the economy of
pasture for pigs in summer, and that
every one who feeds considerable num-
Der of pigs should always provide past
ure for them. Pasture may furnish a
large part of their food, and furnish it
cheaply; but grass should not be the ex-
elusive food, for, in that case, the
growth will be slow, although healthy
growth. Much valuable time is lost
by feeding pigs sparingly in summer,
for this Should be the most rapidly
growing season; and if they only
half grow through this most
favorable season, and the other
half is put on in the cold season
with grain, the profit is largely if not
entirely lost. One-half orone-third of the
grain fed to pigs upon pasture that is
required to produce the winter growth,
would add quite as much.
1t should be remembered that the
grass will give the food of support, be-
sides some food Of production, and the
grain added will go wholly to production
or profit. Whereas, if this extra growth
is delayed till winter, it will take as
much extra food to keep up animal
heat without growth as it would to
have produced the extra growth in
warm weather.
1t is therefore, quite evident that pigs
should be pushed rapidly forward in
summer, when everything is favorable
for the most rapid and healthy growth.

The Plaster Puzzle.


| have known. instances where plaster
sown on clover in irregular streaks
showed its effect as far as one could see
the field; where an application of two
hundred pounds per acre no doubt made
a gain of one ton of hay per acre. On
other fields and other soils twice that
quantity had no perceptible effect and
it apparently was thrown away. No
one can forecast results by looking at
the soil, or by any other means; practi-
cal test is the one and only way. have
sometimes sown early in spring on clio
yer, and then again when the plants
were four or five inches high, and
though it is a dirty job, prefer to have
the work done in the dewy morning.
Apply at the rate of about two hundred
pounds per acre, and if all at once put
it on broadcast by hand, or by plaster
sower, about the time the plants begin
to cover the ground, and leave plots
here and there all over the field without
any, and one year will tell plainly
whether it will pay on your soil.
For corn it should be put on the hills
when the plants are two or three inches
high. Take it in bag over one shout
der, or in a pail on the left arm, and
with little practice you can pick up
with the thumb and fingers the right
quantity for a hill, and by timing step
and motion of hand you soon get to 90

two rows and take sufficient in the hand

same way as recommended for clover,
and one season will tell very clearly
whether or not plaster will pay on that
kind of soil-though this fact should be
borne in mind, that plaster has much
more and much better effect in some
seasons than in others. In season
quite dry, with frequent and light show
ers, plaster has always given me the
best results.
But the fact should be remembered,
that plaster is in no sense a manure, and
in and of itself has little or no value as
plant-food. just how it helpswe can not
say, and yet the fact is indisputable that
on certain plants on certain soils it does
exert wonderful influence, especially
on clover, peas, potatoes and sometimes
corn. Since, however, it is not a ma
nure, but a stimulant, any increase of
crop by its use only so much more and
so much faster impoverishes our land,
and unless we follow such a system of
farming that we put back in real plant
food as much greater amount than ordi-
nary as we remove in the increased
crop, we shall find that we are none the
richer for using plaster, but have only
drawn our deposit from the bank SO
much the sooner. But by so farming
that we use the increased crop of clover
or other plants to feed the more stock
and to make the more manure, then the
application Of plaster will be one of the
means to profit. S. Woodward, in
N. Y. Tribune.

The Founder Of Harvard College.

Very little has been left us concern
ing John Harvard S life in this country;
still less of it is known in the mother
land, and we are driven to the scanty
records of what he did that we may
MS character. The only facts known
about him are that he was member of
Emanuel College, Cambridge; that in
1886 he received his degree; that after
ward, in 1857, he obtained the higher
one of A. M. In the latter part of this
year he set sail for this country and be-
came freeman of the Puritan settle
ment In 1858 he died.
These form what we actually know Of
his life. Where he was born and in
what condition of life he was reared we
do not know, and we can only conject-
ure. But, though he was but year in
America, we find that he received
the epithets of "godly gentleman
and clover of learning" and he seems
indeed to have deserved them. His
estate shows that he had a competency
in England, his library that he was a
scholar and man of some culture; yet,
for either moral or religious principles,
he left everything that could have been
dear to him to plunge into a compare
tive wilderness.
While he lived here he had charge Of
the church at Charlestown, but of his
success as a minister nothing is said.
He could not have been a great
preacher; we Judge that he was only
man with an earnest purpose and fair
ability. That he was generous is OBJ
vious, for when, after year, he died,
he left directions in his will that half Of
his estate, about 9800, and all his
library should be devoted to the found
ing of "schoale or colledge," to rearu up
both white and Indian boys sin knowl-
edge ande godlynes. This was more
than generosity, in the state of affairs
at that time-it was the greatest 1iber-
atty. In 1857, the year previous, the
court had appointed twelve men ''to
take order for colledge at Newe-
towne,' but the poverty and unsettled
condition of the times were such that it
would have been impossible for those
appointed to have succeeded in their
design had not this humble stranger,
out of his scanty resources, given twice
the grant made by the Government to
his ''schoale;" and SO it is to him that
we owe the present university.-HGr.

Charles Edward, when young man,
received bullet in his head, and there.

He wore his hat over his eyes and his
hands deep in his trousers pockets, and
went about thoughtfully chewing
straw. At various periods he thought
that he was about to die, and remained
in bed for weeks, or until he became
convinced of his mistake. On one OF
these occasions his old friend John,

out Charles Edward in a loud voice,

But he did die, after all. They found
him in the woods one day; attached by
a rope around his neck to the limb of
tree, dead, his feet just touching the
ground and his hat was drawn down
over his eyes, his hands were deep in
his trousers pockets, and the usual straw
was in his mouth.-N. y Graphic.

water ran too swiftly for him to get

and he did not know how to keen on
with the current, and work gradually
toward the shore, so he was in a sad
plight. But he held on to the kitten;
and in little time he reached a place
which the children called the island. It
was two rocks close together, and the
earth had gathered about them and in
creased, so that there was place for two
or three bushes to grow. Lively put
the kitten on this, and then climbed up
on the rocks. The sun shone in be-
tween the trees; and Lively sat in the
sunshine and held the kitten, which
soon grew dry, and brushed its white
1ur, and then began to play with the
leaves that swayed back and forth IN
the wind
Then dinner time came, and Lively
heard the horns at the farmhouse call the
men home to their incoming. He had ever
been prompt to answer these, for he was
one OF those healthy boys who are always
hungry; and so, when he did not come,
his mother grew alarmed, and, lust as

Hitting the Tother Leg.

A great number of horses are in the
habit of brushing one leg against the
t'other, and a deal Of ingenuity has
been at different times exercised in
search of remedy for this often very
troublesome practice. Both the fore
legs and the hind legs are subject to it.
the latter, perhaps, most frequently;
but in them it is confined to the fetlock
joint; whereas, in the fore legs, the
horse may hit either the fetlock, the leg
just above the pasteHns, or just under
the knee, where it is called a speedy
cut, from its occurring chiefly during
the fast action. 1t is desirable, before
applying remedy, to ascertain, if pos
sible, the cause, and the part which
strikes, whether the shoe or the foot,
and, if the latter, what part of it.
Many horses interfere from weakness,
and cease to do so when they gain
strength and condition. This is more
particularly observable with fast horses.
Others do so from faulty conformation
of the limbs, which are sometimes too
close to each other; and sometimes the
toe is turned too much out, or too much

usually strikes under the knee. The
objects to be kept in view in shoeing
such horses must be to remedy, as much
as we can, the faulty action. and to re-
move, if possible, the part which strikes.
The part of the foot which strikes is
between the toe and the inside quarter;
sometimes the inside quarter itself, but
very rarely the heels of the shoe. II the
horse turns his toe init is very probable
that he wears the inside of the shoe
most; and if so, it should be made
much thicker than the outside; if the
contrary, the outside heel should he
thicker than the inside. The SHOE
should be leveled off on the inside
quarter, which should also be free from
nails. In the hind legs we often find
that hree-quarter-shoe will prevent
striking when other plans fail; for here
the part which hits is not situated so far
forward as in the fore legs, SO that the
removal of the iron altogether from the
inside quarter will soon accomplish our
aim. 1t sometimes happens that every
plan we can adopt will not prevent in
terfering, and she only recourse IS boots
or straps buckled on the part of the
'ilpb that is struck. Prairie Farmer.

pour off the water from the feathers and
put on fresh boiling water; add to it the
