A FASHIONABLE WOMAN.
How = Young Man Was Dlstllusioned Ate
His Marriage.

How = Young Man Was Dlsillusioned After
His Marriage.
Now that we are considering women
who are, or have been, young and fash
ionable, let me incidentally voice the
complaint of friend of mine who has
been a husband only few months. He
SAYS that his wife has become a mono
maniau on the subject of physical inn
provement. She persistent!y goes in
for everything that promises to height
en- her charms.
''She is successful, presume" re-
marked by way of comfort. ''She is
nuisance, he holly retorted. 'Do you
suppose found my bride q fair, I'M
trammeled slumberer-such as she
might be, and was until this craze took
possession of her. No. no, no. Her
hands were in an old pair of my gloves
last night packed in some sort of slush
for whitening the skin. Her ears were
tied fiat with a bandage, to make 'em
lie close to her head. Her lips were
SIN rched with cold cream and her eye
brows were thick with unguent, put on
to make 'em get luxurious. Her hair
was in an oiled silk bag. Somebody
had told her how. to make the toilet
masks that are the rage now among
women. She had obediently melted
a spoonful of tar in pint of hot olive
oil, and spread the composition all over
her face. This was warranted to refine
the skin, brighten the complexion and
prevent wrinkles. The directions were
to cover the smear with patches of soft
linen, and that was what made me think
when I saw her that she had met with
some dreadful accident. IN Y Cor.

OLD HlckoRY's PORTRAIT.

now He Looked While at the Hermitage q
Month Before His Death.
In the Corcoran Gallery there is s
collection of the portraits of all the ex-
Presidents up to Andrew johnson s
time. 1t was made by Healy. The
most interesting is that of Andrew
jackson. Healy visited the Hermitage
about month before Jackson died,
and with great difficulty persuaded
him to give him q sitting. The old
gentleman was determined that he
would not. He had a great prejudice
against having his portrait painted.
Healy finally succeeded in getting an
interview with him, and. of course, af-
ter that succeeded, for Healy is a diplo-
matist who knows how to tiatter and
make his way with noted people. His
picture OF Jackson makes the old gen.
tleman look b deously ugly and saw
age. The pallor of death is on his
face. Healy made no attempt to fiat
ter him. put painted HIM as he found
him. The result is all the more inter-
esting.
Looking at the picture of Jackson,
one recalls the remark of the rural
visitor who came into the gallery for
the first time and saw themarble statue
OF Vela's last days of Napoleon. Ma
poleon, emaciated and worn, is seated
IN an invalid chair with pillows and a
thick dressing-gown wrapped about
his WORKOUT frame. The dressing
gown is open at the throat, showing
his hollow chest. Upon his left knee
is an open map of Europe. Napoleon's
look is far away, as if he were still
brooding over his hopeless ambitions.
The countryman looked long upon this
statue. and then he said, with sigh:
so this is old Napoleon, is it? What
pity it is that they could not have taken
him when he was in health" Hash.

SOFTENlNG LEATHER.

The doistenlng OF the Leather Necessary,
But the Material Used Need Not BE OIL
Alone.
Neatsfoot oil will not soften leather
under all circumstances, neither is cas-
tor oil any better. Oil IS not necessary
to the pliability of leather-the leather
of the OK, goat, calf and kid. 1t is nee
essary that the leather be kept moist;
but oil need not be the moistening
means. Yet in use oil is the most con-
venient means for keeping leather soft.
1t would be inconvenient to employ
water to keep pliable the leather of our
boots, becauseof its spreading the pores
of the leather and admitting cold air,
besides, unless always wet, leather be-
comes hard and rigid. Oil, on the con-
trary, keeps the leather in a proper
state for its best usefulness, that of
pliability. But in order that oil may
soften the leather, its way should be
prepared by thorough wetting of the
leather by water. Much less oil is re-
quired if the leather is well saturated
with water. The philosophy is obvious;
water is repellant to the oil. and pre-
vents it from passing entirely through
the leather. holding the oil in the sub
stance OF the leather. The use of water
for softening belts in factories is not in
convenient. If advantage is taken of .
holiday. At night the belts may be
brushed clean and thoroughly wetted,
then in the morning use the oil, a much
smaller quantity is necessary to render
the belt pliahle than when NO water is
used. -Scje1tifc AMes7cGn.

PASTURlNG MEADOWS.

An Agricultural Who Thinks 1t il a Good
Thing to DO.
have always pastured our meadows
when could, and it has in every case
proved advantageous. But several
times have had meadow located in
a field where portion of it was cul-
tivated, and there the timothy would
soon run out and blue grass take its
place in very short time, while the
meadow pastured would continue to
yield paying crop. 1 know few men
here who will no more allow stock to
run on their meadows than on their
fields of growing corn, and the same is
true of their fields of wheat stubble
sown to clover and timothy. have
very frequently had fields of wheat
stubble located the same as meadows,
so that we could not pasture them, and
every time it has been to my sorrow.
The grain left scattered over the stnbble,
and the clover growing up, furnished
invitations for myriads of ground mice
to spend their winter, and played sad
havoc with my young grass. The same
was true of my meadows. When all
the aftermath was left and not pastured
of. the mice cut roads all through the
grass, and fed on the roots and bur-
.rowed in the ground, increasing by the
thousand. ready to destroy crops in the
spring.
When came into possession OF this
farm (nearly eight years ago), there
was q meadow of some eighteen acres,
in q field of about forty acres. This
field, barring the meadow, had been in
corn, and then sown to wheat and rye.
The meadow was cut in proper time
and did not yield over seven tons Of
hay, and that of very poor quality. I
went through it short time before
cutting, and the mice had made roads
all through it, and would run in every
direction; they had cut large quantity
of the grass in short pieces. l can
attribute the cause of this to nothing
else than allowing the aftermath to
grow unmolested for few previous
years. Had it been eaten of. the mice
would have found no protection in WIN
ter, and hence would not have congre-
gated there to do more harm than the
frosts and winds of winter. and the
yield would have been nearer thirty
tons than seven. The soil was not
barren as was proved in the succeeding
crops, which were corn and wheat
better than the average of this COM
munity.
I have often read in agricultural
papers not to pasture meadows and
stubble sown to young grass. but have
come to the conclusion that moro
meadows are injured by not being pas
tured than by pasturing, and shall here
after pasture meadows and young grass
till convinced that / am wrong. [ like
to cut my meadows early; the aftermath
makes fine place to turn lambs when
FIRST weaned, or fresh bite for COW.
The old grass stubble will prevent
stock from grazing too closely, and
furnishes all the protection necessary
for winter.-W A. McDorysa,s. IN Ansev.

The advantage of letting hogs run
at large in summer is found chiefly in
the grass, weeds and other bulky food
that they pick up, which distends their
stOmachs and keeps them in healthy
condition. If pigs are kept in the pen
during summer they should have cool
ing, laxative food, rather than grain.
Wheat bran or ship stuff with milk will
make rapid growth without undue fat
tening. Albany Journal.
"A stone smokehouse a few feet
square and cheaply covered by boards
is very convenient around farmhouses.
Besides its use for smoking meats, it is
convenient receptacle for wood ashes,
or when not required for a smokehouse
may be stored with feed for pigs. to
whose pen it will naturally be adjacent.
On farms where stone is abundant the
cost of such building, aside from roof
ing. will be only lime, sand and labor.

Any land that will bear clover can
