Smoking as q Gentleman.

From 'The Mentor" by Alfred Ayres
There is no one thing perhaps, in which
the difference between the well-bred
man and the ill-brcd man more appears
than in the manner in which, the place
where, and the time when they smoke.
The well-bred man does not smoke.
nor does he seem to smoke, to show of.
whereas the ill-bred man very often
smokes in a self-conscious manner that
seems to say: Look at me! see how
skillfully my lips hold this cigar; how
l can shift it from one side of nv mouth
to the other without touching it with nv
fingers, and how we'll I can articulate
with it In my mouth; IN short, look YOU
what perfect control have over nv ID
bal muscles, and, having seen, admire! r.
In short, there are many low-bred
young men-very many-that appea,
to smo Ike only to display their-imae.

The new missionary steamer Morning
Star, which was built with money con-
tributed by the Congregational Sunday
schools OF the United States, was
launched last Thursday, at Bath, Me.
The crew of the vessel will consist OF
about fifteen men: Captain Bray, first
and second officers, chief engineer, as.
sistant engineer, two firemen, steward,
cook and eight seamen. George f.
Garland, who was in command of the
Morning Star, wrecked last February,
will 60 as first officer, and Frederick
Snow, of Jamaica Plains, son of one Of
the old Micronesian missionaries, as
chief engineer. Arthur Logan, son OF
Rev. R. w. Logan, of Ohio, will sail in
the steamer for Honolulu.
A very interesting ceremony to Catho-
lies took place at the chapel of the
Visitation Convent in st. Louis, last
Tuesday, being the celebration of the
golden jubilee or tiftieth anniversary of
the profession OF Sister Saraphine Wick
ham. Archbishop Ryan officiated. Sis
ter Seraphine will be 80 years of age
December 1. She was eleven years
with the Sisters of Charity, then joined
the Visitation Order, and after years
postulantship made her VOWS, just fifty
years ago. The ceremonies were COM
memorative of this fact. She renewed
her VOWS and was presented with the
crucitix, q lighted candle and golden
crown: with appropriate prayers and
hymns.
The Milling World says that George
Westinghouse, before he invented and
perfected his well-known air brake,
was regarded by number of his then
acquaintance with something approach
ing pity, because of his alleged lack of
"gumption." His air brake was suo-
cess, and his friends began to think
there was something in him after all.
His automatic engine added to his fame
and bank balance, and he mounted
higher IN the esteem of his former
friends. A few weeks ago q we'll of
natural gas was struck on his premises
at Homewood, near Pittsburg. The
well is 1850 feet deep, and the flow of
gas is tremendous, the roar being al
most deafening and scarcely endurable
to the citizens of the neighborhood.
Two other wells ore being put down by
Mr.. Westinghouse, and he estimates
that his profit therefrom will soon
amount to one thousand dollars q day.

Things in General

The manufacture and sale of mems
clothing is one of the most important
industries of New York city. It EN-.
ploys twice as many persons as any 9th.
er occupation, and the 500 establish
ments in the city have capital CT $25,.
GOO 900, employ So, 900 operatives and
pay out wages amounting to SIS ,Oo0,-
600 every year. Clothing made in New
York is worn by workingmen in every
State and Territory in the United
States, and much of it is exported te
foreign countries.
English landowners are menaced with
the same impecuniosity as French lit
terateurs. No less than 10000 acre.
vainly demand tenants in Essex. With.
in 80 miles of London 10 acres were
lately sold for 92,4OO. for which e5,.
600 was refused 10 years ago. Lady
Catherine Gaskell, a great aristocrat,
proposes in an English magazine arti-
Gle, as remedy for all this, that farm
ers and their wives and daughters
should cease to be educated, should
avoid pianos and decent clothing, rise
at 3 o'clock in the morning, and spend
all day among the beasts in the field.
She points the moral by bringing for
ward model farming family, whose
clief popularity is that they speak
atrociously bad English, and eat meat
once . week.
The arrangements for tho establish
ment Of an Irish colony in Utah are
about completed. Mr.. John Dillon and
Mr.. Parnell have entered into the
scheme with vigor, and tract of lOO,-
600 acres of land has been secured. It
was tho original intention to devote the
settlement exclusive to Irish immi-
grants, but that scheme has been aban-
doned, and poor people of all national
tiles will he welcomed and assisted to
obtain foothold, and then allowed to
pay for the land they occupy as soon as
they can.
The late tremendous drop in the price
of wheat has produced something like
panic among the wheat growers Of Eng
land. At present prices the returns on
most farms will not cover expenditure.
The total immigration for the wear
ending with the 3Oth Of June last foots
up SIS, 592, as against COB 1872 for the
previous year-a falling off of nearly
one-seventh. Despite all Bismarck
efforts to arrest the living tide which
sets so strongly away from Germany.
the number Of new corners from that
empire fell off only Is, 600, the l79, GIG
from that nation being more than threa
times Is numerous as the Irish CON
tingent of 55,9lS. The decrease OF
Italian immigration nearly one half,
from 81 1872 to 16, $40, is cause for con-
graduation, because Italians do not
come to stay. In some respects they
are like the Chinese who, come to make
little money and go home to enjoy it.

Abominations OF the DaokY ard.

Eben E. Rexford in American A9riculturist
Many back-yards are denominations to
the eye ind nose. One finds in them
all sorts of litter and refuse from oys-
ter cans to old boots. Here the Stops
of the kitchen are poured to increase the
odors which ought to warn every
thoughtful person of the malarial in
fuence breeding there, to break out
eventually in fevers or diphtheria. If
any member Of the family dies from one
of these diseases, his death is probably
lamented as mysterious dispensation
of Providence," but the minister would
say if lie were to visit the back yard.
that death was caused solely by vio-
1ation of hygienic laws. A very strong
argument against a dirty back yard, is
the spirit of deception which it is apt to
foster in the young members of the fam
lily, for it is constant deceit to present
a clean and attractive front yard to the
gaze of the passers, while the back yard
is not fit te he seen. Children should
be taught to be clean for the sake of
cleanliness, and not because outsiders
are likely to criticise them. The best
plan is to have hogshead or large box
fitted up in one corner of the yard, and
make it q rule to throw into this old cans,
boots, broken dishes, and all such rub
bish, and when there-is great accu-
mutation, to bury or burn it. Do not al
low anything to be thrown about. Have
drains made to convey all Stops entirely
from the house. Make good walks,
and lot the ground have fine covering
OF grass, not weeds. Put up strong
supports for the clothes line. Keep
the fence in repair and plant currant
bushes near it. Set vines about the re-
fuse barrel and train them over it until
it is hidden. If YOU have receptacle
for ashes, let it he something that can
be shut up, not row OF old barrels to
offend the eye and give out cloud of
ashes every time the wind blows. Make
q rule to have the back yard at all times
as clean as the front one.

Hints to Young Mothers.

One reason why 80 many young
mother" do not look 80 tidy and attract
i've as it is the bounden duty of all
women to look, is that they do not &C.
cept the inevitable with tho proper
spirit, and then adapt themselves to
it For instance, it is impossible to care
for baby as it should he cared for, and
yet to wear as good dress as you would
if you we're simply sitting down to do
fancy work. The usual dress when en-
gagged in this occupation should be of
some material that will bear spcnging;
then, a sponge and bottle of diluted
ammonia should be kept near at hand.
Of aprons there should be al unfailing
nnpply, of different sizes and degrees.
Do not fail to have at least two of the
same length of your dress, and of two
full breadths. A white one of this
style, trimmed all around with scarlet
machine embroidery, is actually becom-
ing to most women, and will save its
cost many times over by preserving tie
dress beneath. Clothe yourself suit
ably, and then enjoy rocking your baby
All other pleasures you may hope to
have repeated, but the JOY of being the
mother of baby is one which may be
yours but once, and that for so short o
time that it will seem almost dreamlike
in very few years.-N. Y. Post.

The practice of planting currants
Or other small fruits between rows of
peach, pear or apple trees is discour-
aged by many writers. The practice
has much to recommend it. however,
and is, on the whole, desirable. Two
or three different kinds of plants will
not tax soil so severely as an equal
number of plants of the same kind.
This is especially true if the plants be

When the ground is frozen, and

on different United States coins, and
are on the standard silver dollar, were

"In 1886. There was no United

vate one at Newburgh, and the motto
of the United States was first placed on
copper coin struck at that mint. A
very few collections have specimens of

My Eight-Acre Farming.

Eight acres of sandy loan, light, fine
and level, all in one piece near the
house and barn; no stone, no fences, no
waste, every foot tillable, no time lost
going to and from work; horse, wagons,
harness and tools last indefinitely, hav-
ing the least wear and tear possible.
Having u good market near by for veg
etables and good one for milk at the
door, l raise both, and so one thing
helps another on land and in market.
crops to be raised decided upon, the
course is open to success, if the land is
worked right. A small farm is no dis
grace; it takes more brains to work
small farm than large one and get a
living from it.
My father said to his son more than a
score of years ago: "You have too lit
tie land; no man yet ever got rich from
his own labor: do not spend your time
trading around in a half-bushel meas
ure; sell out; get more land and do q
business that amounts 20 something"
Very good advice to man with money
to pay for big farm. But all can not
have big farms; place in this world is
left and must be filled by the small
land-holder who can only buy u small
tract but who has the sagacity to see
that it will answer his purpose in the
line of agriculture. Land there is, and
plenty of it, for all; but it is only the
right use of it which brings success.
A neighbor of mine thrives on his
farm OF twenty acres, makes money
and lends it to his neighbors who have
more land than they own. He was
warned he would starve on his barren
land by those who are now borrowing
his money. Another neighbor finds
sixteen acres of the best of land too
little to furnish three persons a living.
