And now for the score of accessories that
speak of the refinement in which we are all in
pursuit. Line bureau-drawers with pretty col
ored paper and make them odorous with sweet
clover, orris root sandal wood, lavender or
sachet powder. Have some sweet-scented fancy
work or bag on the wall, or, better still, buy a
cheap urn and burn incense to sweeten the
room. Make two bags of contrasting eolors,
either in satin, sateen or cretonne and hang on
the door knobs, one to hold stockings needing
darning and the other for soiled collars and cuffs.
A screen is Indispensable, and may cost from 81
to $50. A paper-basket can be made orna-
mental, as it certainly will be found useful.
Make sure to have a supply of matches on
hand, and, for the beauty of the wall paper a
scrateher in some convenient place. Writing

obligatory, but their presence may save some

the first house built by Peter here in 1T73. He

fortress previously described, and not far from

The Proportion of the Sexes.

One who has been examining the
figures says that the United States
census brings out the fact that the
males outnumber the females in an in.
creasing ratio. In 1870 native born
females were in excess of the males by
1883. In 1880 the males OF Ameri
Can birth were 300,66S more than the
females. The excess of foreign males
over females was $751; as agains,
446,657 IN 1870. This disproportior
among the foreigners is intelligiblt
enough, as there are always more male
than female emigrants.
AS regards the native population
the solution of the problem is probably
that for some time after the war ther,
was an artificial preponderance of fe
males owing to the diminution of th'
male population by about half mil
lion of soldiers, who perished in th'
struggle, and that with the growth o
new generation the ordinary proper
ton between the sexes has been re-es
tablished
The general rule in other countrie
is that there are more males born thai
females, and any local superhuity o
females is either to be accounted 70
by the emigration of males, or the lar
ger proportion of the sterner sex wh'
die prematurely from war, or the acci
dents attendant upon masculine EN-
ployment

Apples for Milch Cows.

Diverse opinions prevail among far
mers as to the value of apples for milch
cows. Some hold that apples decrease
the flow of milk, while others maintain
that their use in moderate quanti-
ties is beneficial in every way. So
good an authority as the Massdchus-
etts Ploughmom says in reference to
this question:
The fact is, there is right and a
wrong way, as well as right and a
wrong time to feed apples to mich
cows and there is another impor-
tant fact, which is, there is great diff
ference in orchards one orchard may
produce only Roxbury russell apples,
while another may produce early sweet
boughs, early Williams, Porters, gray-
enstein and other summer and fall APP
pies. While it might not injure COW
to give her two pecks of ripe early
sweet boughs the first time feeding ap-
pies, it would not do to give her two
pecks of green russell apples when first
commencing feeding. When cows are
first fed on apples only small quanti-
ties should be fed, gradually increasing
until they are from peck to two pecks
per day, according to size and condi-
tion of the COW.
In feeding apples it should ever be
kept in mind that the nutriment in a
green apple Is very small indeed, when
compared with that of ripe apples, she
may be greatly injured by eating a
quantity that when she becomes &C.
cnstomed to eating them, would be a
great benefit. Sour apples that are so
green that they will rot before they
will mellow, are, as a rule, not fit to
feed out to milch cows but apples
that are sweet, or sour apples that are
ripe enough to mellow, are very bene
fetal to not only milch COWS, but to
pigs and even horses.
Most of apples that ripen in the au
tumn may be fed ont and made to pay
as much per bushel as small potatoes
when fed uncooked, but the winter ap
pies are not fit to feed out until cold
weather, when they begin to ripen
then they valuable, and should no,
be permitted TO be lost. The first Of
the winter fruit that drops is not worth
saving, but when the apples are nearly
grown, if gathered up and stored in
cool place, they will ripen so as to max,
both healthy and nutritious food io
cattle.

Gov. Cleveland and the Fawn.

There is pretty little story told of
Cleveland last summer at a mountain
resort in the Adirondacks. There were
a number of gentlemen and ladies at
the hotel where cleveland was stop
ping, and the gentlemen were very
fond of sporting, and also very fond of
yourg venison. One day when they
were out on the lake in boat little
fawn ran down into the water, and
they were able by getting the boat in
its rear to finally catch 1t alive and
drag it into the boat. After they had
done so it again escaped them and got
ort II 20 the water But they recaught
it and brought it dripping and fright
ened to the hotel. Here they announc-
ed their intention of killing it for the
table. The ladies, however, who were
delighted with it, made a strong peti.
tion for its release. There was much
discussion, and it was finally decided
that it should be tried for its life before
one of the party who should be Judge.
This was done, and the speeches were
made. But the Judge found the fawn
guilty of death, and the sentence was
passed. The ladies still pleaded, and
it was finally decided to let the Cover,
nor decide whether it should be par
doned or not. He promptly granted
its pardon, much to the disgust of the
hunters, and the little thing bounded
away. The strangest part of the story
however, is that upon recent visit to
the scene this summer the last years
fawn, which had not been seen since
its release last year, and which was
marked at the time, approached Coy.
ernor Cleveland without fear and fon.
died him, none other than he being
able to come near it.

Facts about Spools.

Spools are made in immense num-
bers. One factory turns out 100000
gross day, and consumes $500 cords
of birch wood annually. The wood is
first sawed into sticks four or five feet
long, and from seven .eights of an inch
to three inches square, according TO
the size of the spool to be produced.
These sticks, after being thoroughly
seasoned, are sawed into short blocks,
and the blocks are dried in hot air
kiln. At the time they are saved a
hole is bored through them. The spool
machine is managed by boy, who
throws out the knotty or defective pie
ces. The spools polish themselves by
their motion and contact in revolving
drums. Some Of the spools are dyed
yellow, red or black others are ready
for use when they leave the drums.
The number of yards of cotton on a
spool is determined by the size of the
spool. The cotton is never measured,
but the spool is guaged to contain 100,
200 or 250 yards, as the case may be-
Silk and linen firms always send to
their spoolmakers patterns giving the
size and shape of the barrel and of the
head and bevel, which determine the
amount of the silk or thread that the
spool will hold.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Ancestral Resemblance.

out the fact that resemblances will
crop out in families after centuries
have elapsed. There is a picture OF
Governor Winthrop hanging up in the
state house. When ex-Speaker Win

trait, everyone was astonished at the
resemblance between the old Puri
tan and his living descendant of oul
day.
The lIapsburgs, the reigning family
OF Austria have series of family por
traits extending back six hundred
years. The likenesses are extraordi

Henry of Navarro, the gallant French
monarch, assassinated by a fanati,

A Shepherd Dogs Long Journey.

A good story is told of dogs abb
lity to find its way from strange
place TO its former home comes from
Flat Rock. Ohio, A young farmer
named McCauley emigrated from that
place to Kansas, He put his goods on
the cars at Bellevue, and with them
put shepherd dog. On his arrival at
his destination he drove from the rail
road station to his brothers house, the
dog following. The team was cared
for, and the young man went into the
house, leaving the dog ontside. The
next morning the animal could not be
found. He wrote back to Ohio to his
friends, and mentioned the disappear
ance of the dog. Three weeks after
ward he received letter announcing
the arrival of the dog at its old home.
The animal refused, however, to make
up with any one, and in short time
| died.
