Home Made Feather Buster.

A feather dusler is an article the conve-
nience of which every house wifeappreciates
but it is often too expensive for many farmers
to buy. For all such. some hints as to how a
buster of equal utility and durability to a
store one may be made at home from the
feathers that would otherwise go to waste,
may be useful. If beauty is not sought, any
round stick OF the proper size, such as the
end of broom handle, will serve for the han.
die of the brush; if one happens to have an
old buster handle that can be used once more.
With q saw make series of grooves or
notches in the lower end of the handle BY
the aid of hammer the lower portion OF
each quill should be so ffattened as to pass
into the grooves AS fast as the feathers are
put in they should be tied with strong Irvine;
and as the work proceeds glue should be
added, that the feathers may be more firmly
fastened. In this way new rows of feathers,
followed by the Irvine and glue, may be add
ed until the end is copmietely covered and
the buster is of sufficient size, after which the
finishing row of large feathers, selected for
the purpose, is placed around the whole, and
tightly bound with Irvine. Outside of the
base of this last row of feathers, neat
strip of leather may be glued to both i'm.
prove the appearance and render the feathers
more secure. A brush thus made will serve
all the purposes of a purchased one, and If the
work is carefully and thoroughly done, it is
neat In appearance.

Aunt Susan's Suggestion to Fretful
Wife.
"Hester!" exclaimed Aunt Susan, ceasing
her rocking and knitting, and sitting upright
DO you know what your husband will dc
when you are dead ?"
What do you mean?" was the startled re-
ply, :.
HE will marry the sweetest tempered girl
he can find"

her knitting "She may not be as good a
| housekeeper as you are-in fact, think not
but she will be good natured. She may moi
even love him as much as you do, but she will
be good natured."
"Why auntie-"
THAT isn't all" continued Aunt Susan
Every day you live you are making your
husband more and more in love with that
good natured woman who may take your
place some day. After Mr.. and Mrs. Harri-
son left you the other night, the only remark
he made about them was: She is a sweet wo.
man."
"That isn't ALL" composedly continued
Aunt Susan. To-day your husband was
half way across the kitchen floor, bringing
you the first ripe peaches, and all you did
was to look on and say, There, Will, just see
your tracks on my clean floor. Iwon't have
my clean floors all tracked upp Some men
would have thrown the peaches out of the
window To-day you screwed up your face
when he kissed you, because his mus.
tache was damp, and said Il never want
you to kiss me again When he empties
anything you tell him not to spill it, when
he lifts anything you tell him not to break it
From morning until night your sharp voice
is heard complaining and fault-fnding. And
last winter when you were sick, you scolded
him about his allowing the pump to freeze
and took no notice when he said 81 was SC

"But, auntie--"
"Hearken, my child. The strongest and
most intelligent of them all care more for a
woman's tenderness than tor anything else
in the world; and without this the cleveres,
| and most perfect housekeeper is sure to lose
her husbands affections in time. There may
be few more men like Villas gentle, as
loving, us chivalrous, as forgetful OF self, and
so satisfied with loving that their affections
will die long, struggling death but in most
| cases it takes but few years of fretfulness
and fault finding to turn husbands love
into irritated indifference"
But, auntie-" -#
Eyes well, but you are not dead yet, ant

and sweet that your husband can never i'm

A Mistake.

There are numerous ways in which young
folks can make themselves unpleasant to
society, and one the most successful in
this direction is in attempting to be original.
They imagine they can turn the world round
by some eccentricity of dress or behavior, or
by some method of speech. In general, they
offend their friends, and delight their
enemies. AS matter of fact, people had
better let well enough alone, take up the Gus.
toms of those about them, and rest assured
that what the collective wisdom of the world
agrees to do, is on the whole best Here and
there may be room for change, and possibly
for improvement. 1t might be better, for
instance, that engagements only lasted six
months that drawing rooms should be
abolished as useless, or nearly so that we'd
ding breakfasts were improved off the face of
the earth, and that dozen other alterations
were made in our social customs. 1t is very
noble, possibly very heroic, TO pose as re-
generator of society. All the same, people
who are content to take things as they are
will find the world wag more easily with them
than if they themselves troubled to try to
regulate the laws ofgravitation. In nine cases
out of ten young people will find the path
of safety in following customs which are the
rule. Originality may be exciting, but in
the majority of cases where it is tried, it will
be found to entail good deal of trouble, and
not little personal worry.

Intelligence in Animals.

Mr. Romanes remarks in his book that
there are few recorded instances of intelli-
gence in bears. The following facts may
therefore be worth recording In the Clifton
Geological Gardens there are two female
polar bears, between two and a half and
three years old, which came here quite
young. One of these shows remarkable in
telligence in cracking cocoa. nuts. A nut
was thrown to day in the tank; it sank a
long way, and the bear waited quietly till
after some time it rose little out of her
reach She then made current in the water
| with her paw, and thus brought it within
reach This habit has already been several
| times noticed in polar bears. She then took
it on shore and tried to break il by leaning
her weight on it with one paw. Failing in
this, she took the nut between her fore paws,
raised herself on her hind legs to her full
height, and threw the nut forward against
the bars of the den, three or four feet off. She
then again leaned her weight on it, hoping
she had cracked it, but failed again. She
then repeated the process, this time success,
fully. The keeper told me she employed the
same method to break the leg-bone of a horse.
That this is the result of individual expert.
| ence, and not of instinct, is clear from the
fact that her companion has not learned the
trick of opening them thus, nor could this
one do it when she first came The method
of throwing it is precisely similar to that
| adopted by the Cebus monkey described by
Mr.. Romanes.

THE ROSARY OFMY YEARS.

Some reckon their age by years,
Some measure their life by art,
But some tell their days by the flow of their tears
The dias of earth may show
The length, not the depth, of years;
Few or many they come, few or many they go;
But our time is best measured by tears.
An not by the silver gray
H.. That creeps through the sunny hair,
And not by the scenes that we pass on our way
And not by the burrows the finger of care
On the forehead and face has made;
Not so do we count our years;
Not by the sun of the earth-but the shade
Of our souls-and the fall of our tears.
For the young are Outlines old,
Though their brow be bright and fair;
While their blood beats warm their hearts lie cold
Ger them the spring tme-but winter Is there.
And the old are Outlines young,
When their hair is thin and white;
And they sing in age as In youth they sung,
And they laugh, for their cross was light
But bead by bead tell
The rosary of my years;
From a cross to crown they lead--tis well!
Better day of strife
Then a century of sleep;
Give me instead of long stream of life
The tempest and tears of the deep.
A thousand joys may foam
On the pillows of all the year;
But never the foam brings the brave bark home
1t reaches the haven through tears.
