A number of grand-sons and grand

Lambert-a grand daughter-who was pres

her children, four generations would have
gathered within the old home. A number
of neighbors were present with their con-
grstulstfons and gifts, among them Mr.. and
Mrs. Barrack-the latter sister-in law,
and his pastor, Rev W D. Lefeyre and wife.
Thirty-one enjoyed the sumptuous dinner

Picturesque and Artistic.

New York Post: The prettiest fab
RIGS displayed just at present are the
chine and glace silks. They are both
picturesque and artistic, many of them
in the style of the gay Pompadour
sateens, only softer and more dainty
in co]oring. Large flowers of delicate
tints are strewed rather far apart on
silk of exquisite texture, the edges OF
the flowers shaded of into the silk.
The silks themselves are made in all
tints imaginable, faint, delicate colors
being in the majority, such as dove,
pale water green, tea rose, salmon
beige, creamy pinks with dash OF
yellow in them, bluein various shades,
ecru in tones and semi-tones; in fact,
the silks are dyed to suit all tastes
and compilations, as there are also
chine silks with wallhower back
grounds, deep garnets, marine blues,
brocaded with dark red figures, etc.
What delightful fabrics for teas, gar
den parties, and the like! In q dove
gray chine brocaded with pink flow
ers, q Tapping leghorn hat trimmed
with black velvet ribbon and blush
roses, and q pair OF buttonless pearl
gray undressed kid gloves, q pretty
girl may look as charming and pictur-
esque as q Vatican sheperdess. or as
Dolly Warden herself, at an incredibly
small cost. ~ .1

Earth Beds tor Hogs.

~
The Farmers Journal, in an article
on the care. of swine, has some nuggets
OF truth. Correct as to sanitary con-
ditions are those relating to the sleep
ing place. The article will repay perus-
al, and is as follows:
In the first place, hogs for successful
feeding must be strong in bone and
muscle, produced by grass and little
or no corn. We never feed green corn
to hogs, because we consider it un-
healthy, and grass is just as beneficial
and much cheaper. A full feed of corn
should not be given before it is dry
enough to crib. Another very inn
portant matter is the sleeping apart
ment; in fact, it is of essential import
ance. Our hog house, cheap board
shed without floor, the highest part
ON the south, with boards hung to
raise and lower to make an opening
for the sun to shine in. The rest is
composed OF pure surface ground that
Is soon worked into fine dust, which
will frequently remain so all winter
and needs no replenishing. Expert
enced stockmen have sometimes raised
their hands in horror at this-Nature's
bedding. In order to preserve the
bed we'll it is necessary that the hogs
should fill the house comfortably full.
This can be arranged by fencing off
part and enlarging as the hogs fatten.
The dirt should be replenished every
fall, and it is good plan to have
some stored to add at times during
the winter. This kind of bedding never
gets hot or cold and is conductive to
the health of the hogs.

AN OLD STORY IN VERSE,

he was q guileless college youth, 5s
That mirrored modesty and truth;
And sometimes at his musty room
His sister called, to chase the gloom.
One afternoon, when she was thers, 81
Arranging things with kindly care,
AZ often she had done before, @
There came knock upon the door.
Our student, sensitive to learn
o. thoughtless comrades' Laughing jeers,
Had only time to make deposit
OF his dear sister in q closet; # ~
Then haste the door to open wide:
His guest unbidden slept inside.
He was ry-iaced old man, d.,
And with apologies began
For calling, and then let him know
That more than fifty years ago,
When he was in his youthful bloom,
He'd occupied that very room; .1...,
So thought he'd take the chance. he said,
To see the changes time had made.
''The same old window, same old view
Ha. ha! the same old pictures, tool"
And then he tapped them with his cane,
And laughed his merry laugh again.
1.-THE same old sofa, Ldeclare!
Dear me! It must be worse for wear.
The same old shelves!" And then he cam,
And spied the closet door. 1.-The same
Oh, my!' Awoman's dress peeped through
Quick as he could he closed it TO-.
He shook his head. "Ah! ali! the same
Old game, young man, the same old camel
"Would you my reputation slur?"
The youth gasped '"That'e my sister, sir'
"Ahl' said the old man, with a sigh,
The Same old lie-the same old lie!"

Partisan Women:

The beauty of Partisan women seems
to be result of intelligence if not of
genius, says q writer in the London
World. An English woman is beauti-
full by nature or not beautiful, and
there is an end Of the matter. a Par
lsienne can rarely compete with the
beautiful English woman in feature or
in complexion and purity of skin, but
she exerts such m effort oiwill in maxi
ing herself fascinating that she often
surpasses her rival in spite Of natural
disadvantages. Take Rachel, iors in
stance. Nature gave her q thin face,
with large and prominent forehead,
deep-set eyes, a sunken mouth, q point
Cd chin, 9 scraggy body and lean arms.
Out Of these natural materials the
little Jewess by dint OF genius, will,
passion, love, and gold spent on beau
.tiful objects, made che Rachel
that men viii ever remember

Cure For Nose. Bleed.

We take the following practical sug-
gestion Of Prof. John Chiene, from the
Edinburgh Medical Journal: In per-
sistent bleeding from the nasal cavity
plugging the posterior mares should
not be done until an attempt has been
made to check the hemorrhase by
firmly grasping the nose with the finger
and thumb, so as completely to pre-
vent any air from passing through the
cavity in the act Of breathing. This
simple means, if persistently tried,
will in many cases arrest the bleeding.
The hemorrhage persists because the
clot which forms at the rupture in the
blood.vessel is displaced by the air be.
ing drawn forcibly through the cavity
in the attempt of the patient to clear
the nostrils. If this air is prevented
from passing through the cavity, the
clot consolidates in position, and the
hemorrhage is checked.

20 woman Of Corinth or Of ;Syra4
Scuse, with the caressing gesture of q
statue by Coysevax, the Intensity Of
9 water-color by Gavarni, lips that
always caught and reflected the light,
and in her sombre eyes the subtle eyes
the subtle flame of int diligence. In the:
! Parlsienne, from the shop girl to the
grande dame, there seems to be an in.
nate cutie of her person, q respect of
her flesh, a pride in her silhouette and
bearing, and, withal, q constant effort
to re-fashiop and remake herself in ac-
cordance with q marvellous ideal of
beauty, grace, elegance and youth; to
take from antiquity, from the east,
from all ages and all countries that
which has constituted their peculiar
elegance, and then to reduce those ele-
ments OF elegance to the Partisan for
mula. Every Parisienne is q living
work of art, the product of q mysteri-
sous collaboration of surrounding in
f1uences, some stored in the galleries
of the Louvre Museum, others active
and living in the sculptors, tho paint
ers, the poets, the Aspasias and Phry-
nes Of the day, and in the development
of that refined and immoral ma
terialism which is the privilege of the
Latins. The creation of q Parisienne
is a miracle, and miracle ofinstinct.
There is no other explanation. Rachel
could never have passed an exap1inac
ton at Girton College. Sarah Bern
hardt, who is leaving US inconsolable,
never knew much about the history of
the great queens whom she has personi-
fed. Ihave even heard that, when
she was rehearsing Phedre for the first
time she said to friend one day:
"Raconte moi done I'm peu CO que
c'etait que ce M. Thesee." And yet,
it is Parisiennes like Rachel and Sarah
who recreate the heroic humanity Of
the past with force OF illusion, and
with accents, attitudes and gestures
such as the painters, the sculptors
and the psychologists could never
imagine, and who remain, as an en-
thusiastic admirer OF Sarah said the
other day, among the most graceful
apparitions that have ever fitted over
the changing surface of this world of
phenomena for the consolation of hui
mainly.

How to Keep Eggs,

To keep eggs.-1. Three ga lions
water, one pint freshly slaked lime,
one-half pint salt. Use perfectly fresh
eggs with sound shells. Put them in
carefully. If more lime is put in it eats
the shell; if more salt it hardens the
yolk. If the recipe is strictly followed
the eggs will keep good for year or
more. 2. Hold perfectly fresh eggs in
h6ling water while counting six a
wffe basket can be used for this pur-
pose. Be sure to have water enough
to entirely cover the eggs. Let them
dry and cool, then pack in oats. Put
q layer OF oats on the bottom of the
key or barrel sufficient to support the
eggs; pack them closely small end down,
cover with a layer of oats and proceed
till the barrel is full. Shake it gently
to settle oats and eggs firmly. This
method has given eggs a year alter
packing in as good a state of preser-
walton as when first placed in oats. -
