Tunes.

Birds and beasts can know nothing of
thorough, bass, and stones and dolphins
are, as rule, profoundly ignorant of the
mysteries of counterpoint and fugue. A
tune, which may perhaps be defined as a
melody possessing an especially obvious
rhythm, appeals directly to an almost
primitive sense, common to nearly all civ
ilized men and possibly to dolphins. The
appreciation Of music in its higher forms
demands the deliberate and careful cult
vation of ninborn taste. 1t is not only by
mere instinct that the full merit of the
masterpieces of Beethoven and Mozart
is recognized. A man may be possessed
of an undoubted "ear," his love of music
may be perfectly genuine, and yet much
of what is ordinarily accepted as high
class music may be utterly beyond him.
He is simply bored by oratorios, sym
phonies and concertos the crash of
choruses, the quaint and marvellous in
tricacy of fugue, and the giddy rush of
an overture are to such one possibly i'm
posing, certainly bewildering, and fire.
quently wearisome. If he is n man Of
superlative and unnatural honesty he will
admit this. If he is merely possessed of
the average amount of courage he will
say nothing about it. He will humbly
accept the verdict of connoisseurs, and
will go to classical concerts much as he
goes To church, from dim sense of duty
and because it is the thing to do. He

Item described as Op. Sc, he will be con-

his external demeanor during its perform

How Drunkards are Made.

The startling statement copied below
| from the New York Herald is deserving
of attention
"Now, you watch those children.
They'll drink half that beer before they
get home, and their mother will scold me
for not giving n good pint, and I've given
nearer a quart" said the bartender of q
downtown saloon yesterday, referring tJ
two little girls of six and eight, thinly
clad, who had come in for pint of beer.
The reporter did watch the young ones.
They had scarcely got outside of the sa-
loon door when the one that carried the
tin pail lifted it to her lips and took a
draught Then her companion enjoyed a
few swallows. A little further on they
entered tenement-house hallway, and
both again took sip.
II have lots of such customers" said
the bartender when the reporter returned
to the saloon to light his cigar. "Girls
aud boys and women form half our trade.
We call it family trade. 1t pays our ex-
penses. Our profits come from the drink
ers at the bar. But tell you what-half
the children who come here drink. That s
how drunhards are made. Their moth
ers and fathers send 'em for beer. They
see the old folks tipple and begin to taste
the beer themselves.
"Few Of the children who come in here
for beer or ale carry full pint home
Sometimes two or three come IN together,
and if you'll watch 'em, you'll hear one
begging the one who carries the pail for a
sip. We must sell it, however, when
their parents send for it. We are bound
to do 30. Business is business. We don t
keep temperance shop"

HOME TOPICS.
Suggestions about summer Dresses
Artis'lc Table Mats.

Mothers preparing sor the Summer out
ing may find little advice serviceable in
regard to the wardrobes of their children,
If the family is going to a farmhouse or
hotel it is not advisable to have many
wash dresses. One day will soil white
dress, and laundry bills are apt to be
very large. A lady who is to take her
two boys and three girls into the noun
tnins for the Summer has provided each
one with the following outfit. Two dark
blue rough flannel suits for everyday
wear, with dark stockings and lawn ten
mis- shoes, broad -brimmed hats and thread
gloves. The girls have each white fan
mel dress, white cashmere and blue
silk for best, with one muslin dress, while
the boys for best have white cloth sailor
suits and white hats, bordered by blue
ribbons
Artistic table-mats are made out of
heavy white pique, stitched about the
edge with crimson or dark-green cotton
in some vine-like design. The dark
green is the newest color, and is especial
ly appropriate for Summer. Another
way to finish these mats is to make bor-
der of green leaves, the points all going
ono way
table may be made out of thin cream
colored bunting of coarse quality,
which can be purchased for 25 cents a
yard. The edges are cut into scallops and
edged with lace, or Roman wall is en-
broidered about the sides in red or blue
worsted. The monogram may be worked
in the centre with good effect.
Dainty little match-holders are made
out of tin baking powder boxes. The pa
per is washed from the outside and it is
covered with piece Of felt or satin, en-
broidered in some pretty design, such as
spray of daisies or wild roses. a cord
and tassel ornaments the bottom, which
is drawn together, while it is hung by n
double twisted cord fastened to the side
and finished with tassels.
Unromantic beer bottles have at last
found use in decorating the house. But
only few are needed for the purpose.
They are painted deep-blue and touch
ed up with little gold, or are covered
with some dark, rich wall paper. The
neck of the bottle is tied with piece of
satin ribbon, and the whole makes slen-
der and graceful vase for the drawing
room pansy-table or for the mantel. Pea
cock feathers look especially we'll in these
vases.
One of the best ways to hide an ugly
fireplace during the warm weather is to
get Japanese umbrella that will cover
the tire-board. 4 pretty onemay be pur'
chased Tor quarter. The handle should
be cut off up to the ribs, and the UNI

From the New England Hemeste cad. I

When there is running water Mt the

ter to make butter, provided one has
some convenient way of setting the milk

at small outlay by providing home.
made creamery. The size of the cream.
cry should first be determined upon, and
this will depend upon the size of the
dairy and the length Of time the milk is
to stand before skimming. 1t is we'll to
let it stand not less than "a hours before
skimming as the cream is more solid, but
much will depend upon the temperature
of the water.
A creamery suitable for small dairy
can be made something like this Make q
good substantial tank three feet long,
inside measurement, by 90 inches wide
and % deep, of good two-inch pine
plank and provided with q lid made of
thinner material. The joints are to be
put together with paint. The whole
thing should receive thorough painting.
Allow it to get dry and solid before using.
1t will cost about s., more or less, ac-
cording to the quality of lumber used,
etc. Such a tank..can be made by any
ordinery workman and will be quite as
good as II made by Journeyman. The
main point is to get a creamery of some
sort, ana not put the matter off until Just
the moment it is wanted for use.
The tank have described will accom-
modate five deep pals eight inches in
diameter and 20 inches deep, holding 20
quarts each. This will give 100 quart
creamery. The pals will cost 75 cents
each and pointed skinner will cost 20
cents more, making the whole cost come
inside of 50. 1t will pay this back the
first season in the labor saved the women,
to say nothing about the improved quail
ty and quantity of butter during the
heated season. There are not many
small dairymen who can not we'll afford
such an outlay of few dollars, if for no
other purpose than to save their already
overworked wives the labor of washing and
scalding shallow pans. A butter worker
OF some sort will aid greatly in lessening
this tiresome labor when done with a
ladle as compared with good worker,
which can be made at home. To this
might be added one of Fords butter
molds and shipping box to take the pro-
duct in good shape to market, where it
will command fair price, 7. J. S.,

seed Corn.
from the Massachusetts, Plsughman.I


The drouth together with the early
frost which we had last autumn, injured
the crop of corn last year in many parts
of New England and the northern part of
the Western States. So much was it in
jured that considerable portion of it is
unfit for seed. Those who have never
given the subject thought, are not aware
how important it is to have seed that is in
the highest state of perfection I; many
have an idea that if seed will germinate,
it is all that is required, but this is far
from being true. A kernel of corn may
have just life enough to grow, but not
enough to send up vigorous stalk. Far
mers should always exercise the greatest
care IN the selection Of seed, and especial
" should they do SO this year. An ear
Of corn that has the least indication of
rnsoundness, should be at once rejected
90 unfit to plant. The right time to Sc
/ lect corn for seed. is when the husks be-
GIN 10 change color by going through
the 1ieil at this Ctape of its growth, it is
very easy to select the rlpest as well as
the best ears. That the ears may be
known at husking time, n rel string
should be tied around each ear selected.
If the work of selection be left until the
corn is harvested it is very difficult to tell
which ears ripened first, and SO, as a rule,
the largest ears are selected but it is
better to select the seed at husking time,
than to leave it, as some do, to be select
ed from the crib Just before planting
time ~heu selection is thus delayed it
is impossible TO make nny progress in the
improvement of seed, and It % very diff
cult to do so at husking time, but there IS
better chance, because the size of the
stalk and also the number of ears on
stalk, can be seen.
While some believe it to be best to Sc
lect twin ears, others believe that one
good sized ear on a small stalk, is better
than two ears on large stalk but what
ever number of ears there may be on n
stalk, one thing seems to be very evil
dent, which is, that in New England 1T is
important to select the ripest ears, be-
cause our seasons are none too long for a
crop of Indian corn to grow to full per-
| fection.
A small cob is desirable because the
corn will dry better, and long ear is de-
sirable. because it will yield more; to
get these two qualities combined, and at
the same time secure earliness, is the
constant effort of progressive farmers.
That much progress has been made in
the improvement of corn during the last
twenty-five years, must be admitted by
every one who has given the subject any
attention but that still further improve
ments may be made, there is not doubt

Summer Food for Milch Cows.
[From the Chicago Tlmes.l

Tender, green grass in the condition it
is on the growing plant is without doubt
the best food for COWS that are giving
milk. If we could always rely on an ade-
quate supply during the growing season
we should not be required to look for any
other article of food. In Denmark, Hol-
land, England, and some other countries
famous for the production of milk, the
climate is very favorable for the Uniform
growth of grass during several months
of the year. The atmosphere is general
ly moist, the deposit of dew is large, and
the rainfall is quite evenly distributed
throughout the growing season. Where
such a state of things exist it is easy to
supply milch COWS with all the food they
require, and that of the best quality. In
countries where the rainfall is not evenly
distributed throughout the growing sea-
son, and where drought is likely to pre-
vail during several months, pastures can
not be relied on for furnishing all the
food milch COWS require. If no other
food than growing grass be furnished, the
supply of milk will diminish, and the con.
dition OF the animals will fall OFT as soon
as the ground becomes dry for want .ol
