should be sent up, that there should be
no mistake as to the visitors name.
When it is regular reception day, on
which the lady of the house has given
out that she will be at home to see her
friends, no card should be sent up to
her. but the visitor should leave one
upon the hall table. When
the person visited is not at home,
either the whole right-hand end, or the
upper right-hand corner, of the card
may be turned down, as token
that the visitor has called in
person. The best way to make
what the French call the ''visit
of Digestion" after q dinner, or the
call after an evening party, is-eXcept
in eases of real intimacy-to leave
turned-down card, as it would be too
great tax on the time of hostess if
she were compelled to receive each
guest again separately. Cards may be
sent by post, on arriving at place, to
notify friends of ones presence in
town, and may also be sent on depart
ure, marked ''P. p. C."-pour prendre
conge-to take leave. A married lady
who is strictly punctilious about social
observances leaves her husbands card
with her own. The English style of
gentlemen's cards, which is being wide
ly adopted in America, is small card,
not much more than half the size of q
lady's. But Frenchman still uses
cards as large as his wife's, as was
formerly the American custom. 1t is
much better never to turn card down
than to turn it down not according to
rule, for not to turn it is of no conse-
quence, while, for instance, to send a
card to lady who as at
home does betray ignorance of the
social "convenances' one is attempting
to observe.

FARM NOTES.

Feeding on the ground is shiftless and
wasteful, especially corn and small
grain. Always place the dry food on a
platform in high, dry spot. Nail a
narrow siding on the platform to pre-
vent the grain from being pushed off.
The ever-blooming roses are worthy
of more general attention than they re-
ceive. They cost very little more than
geraniums, need no more care, and
half dozen fine roses are worth more
to many than summers bloom of ge-
raniums.
''Bran is,' says j. w. Sanborn, "a
favorite food with dairymen. In two
years of accurate trials, found that
its substitution for cornmeal was at
tended with loss of from II to 20 per
cent in butter product as well as loss
in quality"
Chicks hatched in July will make
good layers another season, and as they

but such birds will not ma
ture or come to their full growth until
the second year.

are eager for such an opportunity, and
would willingly be trained and accept
$40 or S12 week. Managers would
save the expense of importation, and
do noble deed of encouraging home
talent. 1t is here where they make
their fortunes, and they should seek
rather to spend their money here than
upon those who take it away with
them, and then laugh in their tight
sleeves at the credulity of American
managers. AS to operatic stars, there
is no reason why their salaries should

in day have no Trailer hold upon life
than the mightiest monarch that ever
shook the earth with his footsteps.
Generations of men will appear and
disappear as the grass, and the multi
tude that throng the world to-day will
disappear as footsteps on the shore.
Men seldom think of the great event of
death until the shadow falls across their
own pathway, hiding from their eyes
the faces of loved ones whose living
smile was the sunlight of their exist
ence. Death is the antagonist of life
and the thought of the tomb is the skel-
eton of all feasts.
We do not want to 90 through the
dark valley, although its Diary passage
may lead to paradise; we do not want
to 90 down into damp graves, even
with princes for bed-fellows. In the
beautiful drama of Ion the hope of i'm
mortality, so eloquently uttered by the
death-devoted Greek, finds deep re-
sponse in every thoughtful soul. When
about to yield his life sacrifice to fate,
his Clemanthe asks if they should meet
again; to which he responds: Il have
asked that dreadful question of the
hills that look eternal-of the clear
streams that flow forever-of stars
among those fields of azure my raised
spirits have walked in glory. All are
dumb. But as l gaze upon thy living
face, l feel that there is something in
love that mantles through its beauty
that cannot wholly perish. We shall
meet again, Clemanthe."

The Etiquette Of Cards.

Visiting cards play so large part in
the social life of our cities that it is well
to understand their use. 1t is not a
crime to turn down the wrong corners
of visiting cards, but it is at least bet
ter to turn them rightly. A young girl
from western city, making visit to
lady in Boston, sent up her card with
the corner turned down--a thing that
should never be done when the person
called upon is at home. This mistake,
made by refined young lady, sug-
gests the desirableness of little
technical information for girls brought
up in parts of the country where card
etiquette is less understood than in our
large cities. When q call is made with
a hope to see the person called upon,
inquiry should be made at the door if
the lady is at home, and if so, card

Cremation is making great strides in
France. The project of the Seine means
to establish Siemens furnaces in several
of the cemeteries of Paris, and pro-
poses to cremate all persons whose
bodies are not claimed by their friends.
If this experiment proves successful the
government will probably introduce a
general bill on cremation.
The average salaries of school teach
ers in Washington, New York, Phila-

Cincinnati, and San Francisco is $3.50
per year. San Francisco pays the high

per year. Boston ranks next, the sala-
ry paid being, on an average, 1913 per

1t is generally understood that the
hair and nails grow faster in hot
weather than in cold, but, says the
Popular Science Monthly, few probably
are aware that any temperature of the
weather can impart so great stimulus
to the growth as Col. Prjevalsky, the
Russian traveller, says the Central
Asian heat did during his journey in
those regions. In June the ground and
the air became excessively hot, so that
it was impossible to travel in the day
time. The hair and boards of all the |
party grew with astonishing rapidity,
and strangest of all, some youthful Cos
sacks, whose faces were perfectly
all at once developed quite re-
spectacle boards.
Passing on to the scientific subjects,
Prof. Virgins was asked his theory re-

North Pole. The professor said he be-
ieved it was caused by perpetual cur

,arth's surface from east to west, for it
vas well known that needle swung
reely within wire coil through which
IN electric current is sent will invaria-
oly place itself across the current. This
would be greater toward the equator,
where the earth's diameter is greatest,
or in both oblate and probate spheroids

IN THE NIGHT.

We are sitting alone in the twilight,
Alone, while the dark shadows fall,
And the cool, night-born zephyrs are creeping
And stealing around us and all.
Comes, hike the faint, sweet voices of fairies,
The murmuring moan of the breeze,
While it stoops low and kisses the blossoms
And whispers its song in the breeze.
Not sound, save the songs of the zephyrs,
Is heard while we listen full long;
And We break not the silence so charming,
But list to the night-wind's low song.
Upin the skies the bright stars are shining.
The moon has half vanished away,
And silver clouds are drifting above US
AS fair as the dream of day.
Far away in the dim, distant westland,
There flashes a faint flame of gold,
And it only adds more to the beauty
That the hours of the darkness unfold.
Grotesquely the fsntastical phantoms
Are fitting out-under the trees,
While the leaves and the branches above them,
Tremble in the gust of the breeze.
All say not that darkness is dreary,
That no charm can hallow the night,
For there's never midnight so cherries
But in it is hidden delight.

Nicknames Of Generals.

From an article by George F. VIII.
liams, the well known war correspond
ent, on Light and Shadows of Army
Life" in the October Century, we quote
the following:
every general of prominence had a
nickname bestowed upon him by his
troops. Some of these names were of a
sarcastic nature, but usually they indi-
| Gated the confidence of the men in their
leaders or their admiration for them.
General Grant was commonly known
over the watch-fires in the Army of the
Potomac as old United States from
the initials of his name, but sometimes
he was called old Three Stars that
number indicating his rank as lieuten-
ant general Mcclellan was endeared
to his army as Little Mac Meade,
who wore spectacles, was delighted to
learn that the soldiers had named him
'Four-eyed George for he knew it was
not intended as reproach. Burnside,
the colonel of the First Rhode Island
regiment, rose to the dignity of 'Rhody'
when he became a general. Hooker
never liked the sobriquet of Fighting
Joe,' though he always lived up to it
during his career in the field. Pope
was saddled with the title of Saddle
bag john in memory of his famous or
ders about headquarters. being on
horseback. His men used to say that
their headquarters moved pretty rap
idly at times. Sigel, the German gen.
eral, was known in the other corps
as Dutchy.' Hancock won the
brevet of Superb, from a
remark made by General Meade
at Gettysburg, when the Second
corps repulsed Longstreet's men.
Humphrey, being a distinguished engi-
neer, was invariably styled old Mathe-
matics.' The Pennsylvania Reserves
used to call Crawford Physics he be
ing surgeon at the beginning of his
career. Logan, with his long
black hair and dark complexion, was
Black jack with his men. Sheridan,
the cavalry leader, was Little Phil,
and Sheridan's troops spoke of him as
old Tecumseh. The sterling nature |
and steadfast purpose of Thomas earn |
ed for him the significant name of old |
Reliable Alexander Mcdowell Nc
Cook, like Hooker, was called '"Fight-
ng' McCook.' The New York City
regiments in the Fifth corps changed
Sykes to 'Syksey.' Halleck was deri-
;ively nicknamed old Brains, and Ro-
;ecraus had his name shortened to
Rosey.' Lew Wallace was Louisa to
he soldiers under his command; he
vas great favorite for his fighting
qualities, and the soldiers adopted that
name for want of bet
er. Kearney, who had left an arm in
Mexico. was invariably known in
he ranks as 'One-armed Phil Butler
vas STYLED 'Cockeye,' for obvious rea-
ons. Fitzpatrick was nicknamed Kill,
While Custer was called 'Ringlets, on
lccount of his long, flowing curls; and
