A BRIEF CHAPTER ON GIRLS.-The
girl OF sixteen who will neither sew nor
do housework has no business to be
decked out in finery and rambling
about in search of fun or frolic unless
her parents are rich, and in that event
she needs the watchful direction of a
good mother none the less. There is
no objection to fun, but it should be
well chosen and well-timed. No wo-
man or girl who will not work has the
right to share the wages of a poor
mans toll. If she does work. if she
makes the clothes she wears and as
sists in the household duties, the
chances are she will have enough self
respect to behave when play-time
comes, but if she should still be little
wild" the honest toll she has done
will confer upon her some degree of
right to have her own way, ill-judged
though it may be. The wild girl usu-
ally aspires to prominence in some Soc
ial circle or other, and her manners
and conduct are in greater or less de-
gree designed to attract the following
OF men. She should remember that
followers are not always admirers, and
that the most sincere admiration a
man ever feels for woman in a draw
1ng-room is when he looks upon her
and says in his own consciousness:
she is a perfect lady" ."-American
Queen.

TWO POWERFUL ARMIES.

The military strength of the French
Army, according to the Kolnische lei
tung, reckons twenty three army CORDS.
100000 infantry, 42,5OO cavalry, $4,000
artillery, with 2,622 guns, 6,7OO engin-
eers, and $500 pontoon men; while on
the other hand, the German Army has
only 675, 900 men in actual service, with
2,040 pieces of artillery. The German
cavalry is, however, more numerous
than the French, and what is more i'm
portant the Germans have a far strong
er reserve, numbering 246, 1000 men,
with 444 guns, and 90 squadrons of cav
airy, as against the 10000 men of the
French reserve. But in several other
respects also the Prussian critic finds
his rivals at disadvantage. The Ger
mans have much more rapid system
OF mobilization, the railway system is
far more complete; their horses are
better; and, above all, the Minister of
War is not perpetually being changed
as in France. Here are two powerful
armies arranged on the side of two
neighboring nations, which are a
menace to the peace and tranquility of
Europe, if not the world, at any mo-
ment; and yet the government of both
those great nations would have all
mankind believe that they have no de-
signs to disturb the peace of Europe or
the world at large, still like great en-
gines of destruction they stand ever
ready to $50 off," like a gun, the mo-
ment the torch is applied, and slay or
annihilate one another.

GOOD SEED CORN.

1t is poor plan to take seed corn
from the bin, or even save it at husking
time. thought to be selected just when
the kernels are hardening, about the
first of September. Then, in passing
through the field, one can see where
two ears are set upon one stalk, which
should be of medium height, leafy and
erect, with ears well covered with
husks, and well tipped out. Such ears,
upon such stocks, particularly the best
ears on two cared stalks, should have
q string tied around them so that at the
husking they will be thrown out I'M
husked. This is no uncommon prac-
tice among corn growers who take
pride in their own seed corn. When
it comes to husl1ing there ought to be
four times as many ears thrown out as
will be sufficient for seed, and they
will probably be a fine looking lot,
with few exceptions. If the variety
is favorite, or really good one, there
will very likely be sale for these ears
at good price for seed after the best
shaped ones have been taken for home
use. Which are the best First: The
medium sized ones, because the large
ones are monstrosities in a small way,
and not so likely to reproduce them
selves as to produce diversity of ears,
some large and some small Second:
The even rowed ones, because irregu-
larities in the rows indicate an unfixed
type, and tendency to depart from
the type. An eight rowed corn should
always be eight rowed, and eight rowed
throughout the ear; so with the ten,
the twelve, sixteen, or twenty ,rowed
ears. Ten at the butt, and eight at the
tip, shows wrong tendency, as already
said, in the matter of type; besides, it
shows an inclination to form big butts.
Third: The butts must be small, easy to
break off from the stem and husks.
yet not weak and flabby. for those are
as hard to bread off as a leather thong.
l have been into fields of corn to husk
and had my hands blistered in a short
time, on account of the size and tough
ness of the butts of the ears, while in
other corn fields the work of husking
was real pleasure, at least for a short
time. Fourth: The cob must be small,
straight and stiff. The size of the cob
is easily known by the length of the
kernel. When well ripened corn dries
on the ear, the cob shrinks more than
the grain. Hence it holds the kernel
firmly set, and the whole ear feels as
stiff as an oak pin.-Col. Weld in Amer
acan AgricuIturist for March.
