Afternoon Work.

While our grandmothers in patient
industry, spent the long summer after
moons and winter evenings after the
daily work was done, at the spinning or
iax wheel, and in return showed to
admiring friends and neighbors a huge
snowy pile of coarse woven threads,
quantity not quality was the rule of the
day, and the linen of the present time,
with its delicate vines and flowers, gay
borders in arabesque, with knotted
fringes, would have been to them like a
dream of fairyland aud the wondrous
work of the elves. The most fashion
able linen for the tea-table is woven
with colored borders, though that for
the dinner table should be white. Very
handsome patterns of tea-cloths, with
napkins to match, are shown. One was
Of white monte cloth, with wide bor-
ler of conventional design, which was
outlined with chain-stitching of red
md blue. This cover had a heavy
Snotted fringe, and was of the usual
.ength, four yards. Ecru tinted cloths
are extremely popular, and one of
these was shown with brown border
in Grecian block work. Another of
ecru damask had five stripes of bright
colors, the whole making border
about eight inches in width. Each of
these covers are fringed, the better quail
ties knotted with Mexican lace work

Shelter for Stock.

So much has been said and written
upon the above subject one would think
no intelligent farmer could be ignorant
Of the Importance of providing shelter
for all his stock, vet we nnd some
farmers give but little attention to
sheltering their domestic animals; they
do not appear to know that the greater
the exposure to the cold and storms the
larger amount of food is required to
keep up the animal heat. An anima.
comfortably housed will gain in weight
on the same amount of food that would
barely sustain one exposed to the cold
and storms. If an animal barely holds
its own without any gain there is loss
on all the food it consumes, and if it
loses in weight there will be loss on
all the food previously consumed to be
added
To feed stock all winter in such
manner as simply to sustain life is poor
economy. Stock should thrive every
day of their lives and grow more meat
or else earn us their keeping by their
work or by their increase milk and but
ter productions. Stock should be pro-
vided with shelter if for nothing else.
but simply as question of economy il
the consumption of food. Exposure tt
cold storms renders an animal less
hardy, and detracts from its constitu-
tional vigor. On the contrary, we be-
lieve that suitable shelter, that stock
can resort to in case of cold storms. will
tend to promote vitality. An animal
can perhaps endure the full force of
regular blizzard, but it is only at the
expense of a certain amount of vital
force, which must leave it in worse
condition than an animal that has been
protected. There are many times when
it makes but little difference whether
an animal has shelter or not in clear,
cold and dry weather.
Healthy live stock appears to be OF
large degree insensible to ordinary ex-
tremes of temperature, but l have often
observed that cold storms, coming late il
the winter and early spring, when mixeo
with damp snow and often mingled with
rain, are more disastrous than those OF
mid-winter. The farmer who expects
his cattle to live and thrive around
straw stacks in the winter, will have to
waste feed and time and suffer the
loss of flesh which his cattle gained on
the pasture the previous fall. If the
farmer keeps his stock growing all
winter they are ready to commence
thriving from the first day they
are turned on the grass, while the half
fed animals have fallen off in flesh and
and will consume tons of grass before
they begin to thrive and lay on flesh.
As I have already stated, the value of
shelter for all stock, especially for milch
COWS, cannot be over-estimated. Warm
stables with good bedding assist them in
giving valuable returns for their care and
feed. In word, nature has so formed
the cow that she revenges herself on her
owners pocket for cruel neglect and
short feed. A farmer might just as well
try to dodge taxes and debts as to escape
the result of unwise treatment of his
COW. Inpoint of fact, when badly treated
she takes the cream first and if there is
anything left gives her owner the skim
milk. Farmers ReUieu.

The Last OF the Leech Fisners.

A grizzly old man, with his breeches
legs turned up to his thighs, waded
through the bitches of ''the Neck in
the First Ward yesterday. He carried
with him a tin can and miniature
scoop net. He was engaged in the
somewhat curious occupation OF catch
ing leeches. THE business" said he
to an inquiring reporter, lis nearly
played out, but | MAKE something at 1T
yet.'' The old fellow then proceeded
to carefully wash out his tin can, re-
marking: ''Have to be very careful to
have nothing but pure water IN this
can, for the leeches will not live in any
thing but pure water. | have been a
leech fisherman for twenty years, and
it took me good while to learn how to
keep them. y
I he manner of this odd old mans
fishing was very simple. lie vigorous
ly stirred up the mud in the ditch with
his feet, and then watched for the
leeches to rise to the surface or perhaps
settle upon his bare legs. Those which
came up he caught with his little scoop
net, transferred them to his tin can of
water, and then calmly proceeded to
PICK OH SUCH DIS udu IdSleucu~ upOH lis
limb. The loss Of blood appeared to
give him no uneasiness. although IN a
days fishing this must be considerable.
hating about his curious mode of
making living the old man said: Il
have frequently taken 1000 leeches
from single stream. If they once get
filed with blood they drop off dead,
aud thus many die after getting a square
meal from the legs of the cattle which
roam through the bitches. Leeches
may. with ca e, be kept indefinitely.
There is fa sale for them, but the
demand has dwindled very much OF
late wears French and Swedish leeches
are now very generally used, because
they can be preserved much easier.
Years ago many men and boys were
engaged in leech fishing in this neigh
borhood. l am all that is left, and
only because | am too old for any
thing else. I he pauper leeches OF Eu-
rope have destroyed the industry, you
see," concluded the old fisherman, with
a trinkle in his eye, as he went on his
way up the ditch.-Phaladelphaa Rec

"Tough" and "Limpy."

Jimmy Tough" is probably the most
widely known Of the newsboys. He is
about q yard high, is extremely careless
about his personal appearance, has a
very. very roguish eye, and is a great
gambler. He crossed Fifth avenue yes
Serday to where '.Limpy' McMahon
stood, in front of Tony Newell's, and
with blufiing swagger said:
II ken beat you runnin' for nickel,
.Limpy-'"
"Limpy," who travels with the aid OF
. crutch, meekly responded: "Umph!
Anybody kin do that
ssWell, if you want to gamble" I" said
''Toughy. .'Pn bet l kin sit on one O.
them cakes O. ice longer'n you kim
"Limpy'' felt about in the uttermost
recesses Of his pocket and gathered to-
gether five pennies, and, without saying
. word, handed them to one of several
bystanders who had become interested.
''Toughy" followed this action, and
each gravely sat down upon cake OF
ice which lay on the sidewalk.
The stakeholder took out his watch.
For five minutes they sat there, and then
''Toughy" began to squirm. He COM
planned that his pants were not what
they should be, and that he was there
lore at disadvantage. At five minutes
and half he could stand the chill Do
longer. and jumped up and ran across
the street, crying that the ice was burn
ing. '.Limpy" sat still thirty seconds
longer and captured the dime.-RHs

The Austin Reveille is response
bic for the following:
Last week several prominent
gentlemen were in Virginia City
at . knight Templar celebration
and while there were permitted to
go underground and SEQ the work
ings. But when they passed through
several very important places they
had their lights taken from them
and were permitted to stumble
over boulders, tools, cars and pos
aibly fine lodges until they had
passed beyond such dangerous"
places. AL of Us who have ever
been under ground know how much
We can zee when all the lights are
put out. This writer had several
narrow escapes some years ago
when he toiled in the depths of the
earth for grub, by his tickle candle
going out in small draught or by
. drop of water falling on it. Men
are not owl-eyed as q rule, and GER
tainly visitors who were probably
never under ground before, or not,
30 We can well imagine they did not
see any wonderful rich lodges, even
if they had known them in broad
daylight. But why this precaution?
Why cause these honored visitors
to tumble along through dark
drifts to the danger of nose and
shin if there was noting there? Or
is this new play to cause seekers
of points to think that the long
looked for bonanzas have at last
been discovered, and cause the
tenderfoots to buy up the stock?
This uncertainty is perplexing.
But then there is nothing so unre-
liable on the face of the earth as
stock gambling. Faro is as sure
as death and taxes compared to it.
What did that darkness scene IL
