Choosing a Home.

There are a great many things to be
taken into account in choosing ones
home. Among these are quest Ons of
health and of educational, social and
religious opportunity.
AS to health, much depends upon the
quality of water, of soil, of drainage
and situation. In places where rain
falls stately or frequently, good water
can always be secured by building els
terms and by the use of filters. If soils
are damp they may be drained, but this
involves large bill of expense. Local
tiles where drainage is impossible or very
difficult are undesirable places, so far
forth, for homes. in chosen the site
of ones house, respect should be had
to the winds prevailing in the locality,
and protection against these should be
sought. The house should be so situat-
ed that its drainage shall be easily and
healthfully provided for, and that also
the outbuildings do not mar its appear
ance or annoy its inmates. AS far as
possible southern exposure should be
sought, and the house so arranged in
side that the sun shall have free access
to all the living and sleeping rooms, and
most access to those most constantly
and numerOusly inhabited. Rooms on
the north side of the house are tolec-

winter. The sunny side of any hospital
is the healthful side, and so of every
street and every house.
Where there are children, regard
should be had to opportunities for ed
ucating them suitably. In this matter
more depends on the intellectual, social
and religious atmosphere of the COM
munity than upon any other one thing.
In many of the old New England towns
in the last generation the facilities for
education in the form of schools were
very few, but the children grew up I'M
der influences that were of the very
best and made most excellent men and
women.
If one is dependent upon church
privileges for religious growth and en-
jOYment, it IS q matter of moment that
the home be within reach of such OPP
portunities of this sort as are congenial
and desirable.
If one is dependent upon the market
for supplies or for customers, nearness
to market is certainly 10 be sought.
However wise and careful one may be
in choosing home, whether in city OF
country, there will always be disad-
vantages to contend against. These,
when they can't be cured, must be en-
dured or ignored, and offset against
what is agreeable and desirable. The
bitter and sweet 90 together and are
mingled in every human life.-M 7,

Study and Learn Farming as a Bush
ness.


The professional man spends years in
fitting himself for his profession, manu-
fe 1turers and mechanics learn their
trades, and merchants their business,
serving years of apprenticeship with
good masters, but many farmers be-
Geve that agriculture. unlike all other
occupations, can be successfully carried
on by those who have no special train
ing for the business. Indeed a large
proportion of the farms of New I'm
gland are to-day carried on By I'M
trained men. Many have inherited
farms, or portions of farms, from their
parents. Many have remained on the
old homestead out of regard to tIe
wishes of father or mother, who
thought the young folks could hardly
be spared away from home long enough
to learn trade or profession, nor to
acquire an education that would fit
them for managing farm intelligently
or successfully.
1t is an open question how best to
educate and fit a young. man to become
a farmer, whether to send him to the
agricultural school or college, or to al
low him to serve a few years with a
practical farmer who is competent to
make money at the business. Both
methods have their advantages and
their disadvantages. A little of both
sorts of training would doubtless make
a better farmer of the boy than wOnld
either method alone. 1t is certainly
foolish to undertake to carry on any
business, farming excepted, without first
learning all one can learn about it. If
all the men now on farms had been
trained and fitted for the business, as
men are trained in all other vocations,
farming would be looked upon by the
public in different light from what it
is at the present time. We ought to SO
train our boys and girls whom we hope
to see settled upon farms of their own,
that they viii be able to live by their
business as other men live by theirs. It
is not for us to say whether your boy
shall learn the profession of farming at
college, or mainly in the field, but this
we do say, give your boy the very best
training in your power, so that when he
finally does settle down upon a farm.
he viii become master of his affairs.
Farming is not a business that Is safe
to undertake without the same fitting
and preparation that men give who fol-
low other callings in life. When the
public realize this, there viii be fewer
poor and unsuccessful farmers in the
country than there are now,-AeaO

Washington ShOpkeepers.

The older shOpkeepers of Washing
ton are usually very interesting men.
They have lived through q great deal
of interesting history in the place where
history is made, and have caught some
of it now and then as it passes by. For
years they have furnished the great men
of the country with necessaries and lux
uries-Oftentimes at great personal ex-
pense. But their unusual class of Gus
toners has given them unusual expert
ences, and as a result unusual culture
o. a certain sort. They are reservoirs
of "reminiscences. One could not spend
an afternoon more pleasantly than in
chatting with the gray-haired proprie-
tor of a certain bookstore on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, not far from the Capitol,
made famous by the great men who
have whiled away their idle hours with
in its walls. No private building in
| Washington has ever held more distin-
guished men than this little shop Few
have such a store of memories as is to
be found there. But the Young men in
these shops are not so well informed as
the old shOpkeepers, and their COM
ments upon their famous old customers
when they affect any personal knowl-
edge about them at all are apt to be
very funny. Several blocks west of the
/ t.
ambitious and less distinguished than it
used to be. Two other hat stores further
west attract more fashionable people,
now that all the people in Washington do
not live in the central or eastern parts.
But it is still n successful establishment,
and, while viewing with alarm" the
encrOachments of its rivals, ''points
with PRIDE to its past achievements
and to its dead customers. In its win
dow is hat-an old-fashioned beaver
labeled Henry Clay's last hat, :"
which is eyed with reverent interest by
all the Kentuckians who come to town.
Recently two rather distinguished Ken
tuckians went IN to look at it. They
were allowed to do so by the courteous
young clerk, who also treated them to
choice tid-bits of information about the
past glOries of the store. He told them
that all the great men of the belklm and
ante-bellum periods bought their hats
ut this old reliable establishment. This
was the hat that Clay ordered Just be-
fore his death. He had not really worn
it. q He Bdied,n, continued the clerk

NEW YORK CITY, Jan. 30 1884.
I have been martyr to Infiammatory
Rheumatism for thirty years. l am pro-
vision dealer in Fulton Market, and the
dampness of the place caused my trouble.
Standing on the stones, my feet used to
swell up almost as big as cushions, then
the rheumatism would affect my shoulders
and arms. Ihave tried almost everything,
but without avail, until 1 began using
BRANDRETH's PILLS. The most ever took
was six pills at dose, and soon as the
medicine operated, the pain would begin
to pass off. I then took two pills every
night for a week, and would be entirely
cured for some months, until had another
attack; then the same treatment always
cured me. BRANDRETH's Pulls never have
failed me once, 1 have been using them
forupwards of thirty years. Idaily recon-
mend them, and lately cured my clerk Of
rheumatism; he took the pills the same as
did. / am now = years old, strong and
vigorous, and / am sure BRANDRETH's
PILLS are the cause. Anybody afflicted
with rheumatism can come to me, and il
they will take BRANDRETH's PILLS, will
surely cure them. G. w. DYER
