Healthy Girls:

Nothing, says Dio Lewis, is so ter
rible as severe neuralgia; and beyond
a doubt, girls acquire it often enough
by the conditions ofschoollife. Head
ache in school girl usually means ex-
haustive nerve power through over
work, over-excitement, overanxiety,
or bad air. Rest, u good laugh, a
country walk, will usually cure it
readily enough to begin with. But to
become subject to headaches is a very
serious matter; and all such nervous
diseases have q nasty tendency to re-
cur, to become periodic, to be set up
by the same causes, to become an or
ganic habit OF the body. For any
woman to become liable to neuralgia
is most terrible thing. 1t means
that while it lasts life is not worth
having It paralyzes the power to
work, it depriyes her of the power to
enjoy anything, it tends toward irri-
liability OF temper, it tempts to the
use of narcotics and stinlu!ants. So
says DR.. Nelson. and SO say l. A girl
who finds herself subject to neuralgia
should at once change her habits, il
but to grow strong in body. OF what
use is education with III health?
happy girl must be a healthy one. The

Snobbery in England.
eau in New York Sun.

Adam Badeau in New York Sun.
A literary woman whose name and
works are deservedly popular both in
England and America, and who had
seen enough of London society, one
would suppose,t to accustom her to the
presence of persons OF rank, could
never overcome her awe for the up
Purchases. I went one day to call
upon friend, who told me that the
novelist had just left the room, and
that upon entering she had exclaimed:
ooh! | am such a snob that am
ashamed. have been taking tea at a
house where Countess came in, and
it futtered me SO that / couldn't take
off my gloves, and split all my tea"
And SO all up and down the scale I
once heard woman of fashion say OF
some young girl just entering the world,
who was remarkable for her self-pos-
session: "She could 90 into room
full OF duchesses and not be afraid"
A great merchant said to me when
we were talking OF the English love for
sport, which in it's excess I did not
commend: ''But how shall our aristoc-
racy be amused? We must amuse
our aristocracy." He evidently
thought it one of the duties of the
English nation to amuse it's aristoc.
racy.

Too Mach Sweeping.

The advisability OF giving every
apartment vigorous "broom clean
ing at least once q week has been so
strenuously insisted upon by some
notable housekeepers that it has by
many been coverted into an impera-
tive duty. But looking at the matter
in an unprecedented light. one cannot
clearly see why a drawing-room, in
habited perhaps only for a few hours
OF the afternoon and evening, or an
unoccupied guest chamber should re-
quire the same amount Of publication
demanded by a sewing, sitting or din
ing-room. The dust-pan and brush
are labor-saving machines that do
not receive due appreciation. But
their aid in removing a little dust
here and little there the business of
sweeping a whole room may be de-
ferred at times, when at the first
glance anything less than complete
routing out Of furniture and dirt to-
gether would seem impossible.

Use of Salt as Fertilizer.

All plants contain certain quanti-
ty OF salt Or OF the elements OF which
salt is composed, viz, chlorine and
soda; therefore salt furnishes food Tor
plants, and it is consequently fertil-
izer. But it has the most remarkable
effect On some crops, as clover and
grass, cabbage, beets, all sorts of roots,
and wheat and oats. Applied to grain
crops it seems to help these to procure
abundance Of silica, for it produces 81
stiff straw it also makes the grain
clear and thin skinned Being extreme
ly soluble, it should be used when the
crops arein a growing condition. which
is early in spring. For clover 900
pounds to the acre is used, for wheat,
800 or 400 pounds; it is most useful
for wheat in rich, damp soil, as it pre-
vents the grain from lodging For
cabbage, mangels, beets and turnips
600 pounds per acre is used. 1t seems
to be most effective on light soils.

Russian Esprit du orps.

Says correspondent OF the Network
Herald, writing from Teheran, Persia:
''The officers who have done the best
work as military instructors here are
beyond question the Russians. The
two regiments OF Cossacks they have
formed are the only cavalry worthy
the name in the Persian service. The
Russian officers L have talked with
here and in the Caucasus are highly
intelligent and accomplished. Their
esprit uu corps is best illustrated by
the following anecdote, never before
published. and for the truth of which
! can vouch: A Russian grand Duke
insulted by some remark the corps OF
officers OF a regiment of which be was
the nominal head. Tt is impossible
to demand an explanation from his
imperial highness.' said the colonel
we must force him to demand one Of
US A few days later one OF the
officers blew out his brains; anot her,
week and a second followed his ey-
ample; a week later a third had
destroyed himself. The grand duke
realized that his officers preferred
death to dishonor, even when it came
from him. He apologized to his
officers for his hastiness, and the
suicide club ceased to draw lots"

A Word About Mangels,

A farmer who has ownroots large
ly for feeding dairy COWS and sheep and
lambs, states his preference, first for
the mammoth long red mangel, and
second for the yellow globe mangel.
He finds them sweet, crisp, tender and
nutritious, and keeping well until
June, when the grass is in full condi-
tion and succulent food is no longer
required. The general experience Of
farmers who have grown and fed roots
for many years is similar, and the
long red mangel is found easierto feed,
quite free. from Objectionable flavor
and odor which might be communicat-
ed to milk and butter, and sufficiently
tender to be eaten by sheep and cows
without any need for cutting them in
to slices. Moreover theyield of this
variety is from so to 100 per cent.
larger than that of any other root.
The red color of the maneels-a and red
is onlya concentrated yellow-is found
to impart a higl, yellow color to the
butter OF cows fed upon them.

How Freezing Benefits the Soil

From the American Agriculturist.
It is a well known fact that water
in the act of freezing expands consid-
erbly and with a force that is irresist-
ible. It is the freezing OF water in
their crevices and pores that causes
the rocks to be gradually worn down
and ''weathered, as it is called, into
the soil. It's this also which is con-
tinually reducing the soil to finer fragg-
ments. and which breaks upthe hard
clogs aud mellows ground. Fall plow-
ing or spading assists this effect by
breaking up the compact soil into
Jumps, which are further broken into
small particles. AS water and air,
then, only act upon the surface of
these particles, it is clear that the
smaller they are the more surface is
exposed to the weather, and the soil
is made soluble If a block OF hard
soil of ~ inches cube is exposed to
the weather there are 864 square
inches only OF it affected; if it is brok-
en- up into cubes of l inch 1O,368
square inches are exposed to these
beneficial influences; if the soil is fur
ther broken up in fragments of 1-12th
lsof an inch there are more than l24,-

Household Miscellany.

The best turkey is the Bronze kind,
which is q cross of the native and
grows to large size, young gobbiers
reaching a weight OF 20 pounds, and
old ones weighing up to 40 pounds.
The editor Of The Western Christian
Advocate knows thrifty farmers
wife who in winter "always keeps two
dressed chickens on hand ready for
sudden company" including, we may
suppose, the parson. "Only a house
keeper can know the feeling OF COM
fort" afforded by such provision
against the inevitable.
PAsTE.-Mix smoothly flour and
water, then pour on boiling water till
it is Of the proper consistency. Add a
teaspoonful OF pulverized alum and a
few drops OF carbolic acid and oil Of
cloves. Strain through a sieve and
put into wide mouthed glass vessels
with ght-ftting covers. This will al
ways be ready for use.
LEMON CRAcKERs.-One cup butter,
two cups sugar beaten to cream with
the hand; two eggs, one teaspoon soda
dissolved in two tablespoons OF sweet
milk; the created peel of lemon Or
use the extract. Knead very hard
and roll very thin, and when baked
you can see the light through them. If
they were not literally "too good to
keep" think they would not spoil in
many mouths.
The N. E. Farmer expresses gratif-
cation because of the increased use OF
healthful food-oatmeal, cracked
wheat, Graham gems, fruit, veseta-
bles and milk for the morning and
evening meals, in place Of the still too
common meat and hot cakes. Those
who try this improved bill of iare a
sufficient time find that the children
have better teeth and better temper,
that the general welfare of the house
hold is promoted, there is consequent
ly more peace and content, and that
soon the taste is formed to enjoy the
wholesome regimen instead OF the diet
OF q more exciting nature, which pre-.
pares the way for subsequent violence
| and breaches OF Gods and mans law
occasioned by gross appetites and IN
dulgences.

Winter Butter.

When we speak OF winter butter, we
refer to that white, crumbly, tallowy
productso often found on our farmers
tables and likewise in the markets.
What causes it? Two things at least:
First, the COWS. Some COWS assimi-
late the oleine element OF food, and
make white butter. Such COWS may
be fat and sleek, but there will be a
poor butter product any way from
them. Such COWS especially need oily
food. Second, the feed. This should be
such as to sustain animal warmth
and provide for further supply for
butter production. There is really no
better winter ration for stock, mich
cows especially, than finely ground
corn meal mixed up with cut hay, or
oat straw and hay. Under the most
favorable circumstances we cannot ex-
pect to make June butter in January.
but we can come nearer to it than we
often do.

A Wife's Value in Cows.

W. II. Christy in Salt Lake Tribune.
| asked some of the Kafirs in the
diamond mines why they worked so
hard, when with their cattle, which is
the currency Of the country, they
could live in ease. They told me they
wanted to make money to buy more
wives. That people purchase their
wives and pay for themin proportion
to the amount OF flesh. An ordinary
wife brings ten to fifteen COWS, while a
more 1eshy one brings twenty, and
one that will tip the scales at ESQ
pounds readily brings twenty-five OF
thirty cows. Zulus have from one to
four wives, in proportion to the
amount they have to pay.
Raising young girls for such trade is
considered profitable The idea oil
these Zulu women regarding this
practice of purchase is best Illustrated
by an incident where an English lady
had one of them as a servant until
she got married. The mother of the
girl called on the lady and boosted Of
the number OF cows paid for he1
daughter, and thought it a great price
and asked the English lady how many
her hueband paid for her. She told
her that the English did not marry
that way -sell themselves in marriage
The Zulu women could not compre
bend it, and asked: Are you ikt
a worthless dog, chat your father
gives You away for nothing

Facts Learned by an Invalid.

The American Rural Home.
When anything is ehewed III the
mouth it excites flow OF saliva. The
parotid gland, the subhngual gland
moisten it, and the submaxillary
glands secrete amore viscid fluid which
prepares it for being swallowed.
When the food reaches the stomaci
it is acted upon by the gastric juice,
which is secreted in proportion to the
necessities of the system. By the
chemical and mechanical action ofthe.
stomach it's contents are reduced to
a semi-fuid mass, called chyme.
While this process is going on the
stomach is closed by a valve made OF
the mucous and muscular coats ofthe
stomach called the pyDcrus. This
valve will not let the fluid pass till it
has been changed to chyme. Some
times the action of the stomach is re-
versed. and the offending matter Is
thrown Off by vomiting.
The ehyme as it passes from the
stomach into the small intestlnes,
has mingled with it the bile and the
secretion OF the pancreas. The nu-
tritious part OF the chyme is a milky
fluid called chyle. The lacteals which
absorb it enter the messentric glands,
they then pass on to pour their con-
tents into the thoracic duct. This
duct, the size OF a common quill, runs
up the left side the great artery OF the
heart, and pours its contents into two
veins at the top OF the chest. The
material from which the blood is
MADE is from this chyle. The absorb
ents bring fluid called lympa to be
mingled with the chyle and be poured
with it into the circulation. This IS
the process of digestion in the human
stomach. and it ought not to be in
terrupted by tasting little OF various
things. Let everything intended to
be eaten. be eaten at meal time, as
the gastric glands will respond more
readily then.
Cold drinks are not as favorable to
digestion as warm drinks, and when
a person is overheated they do great
harm, by cooling the system too rap
idly.
