When asked question, the stuped
man usually says, Il don't know,
whether he know or not.
The man who boasts of submission to
life's burden is not usually satisfied to
bend his own back under needless
weights. but would pile the rubbish on
the shoulders Of all 80 unfortunate as
to know him.
To know man as be Is, YOU must
study his tritling acts, his enjoyment
an idle paStimes.
Men say women are angels: and so
we learn that women are frail things
in body and spirit, rs yotcless as are
our male idiots and minors, and the
subordinatcs OF men.
Parents should teach their sons, to
be attentive to their sisters comfort
there is no danger that they viii forget
to give their daughters lessons for their
brothers well being.
4 man may stand still, moving Meth
er hand nor foot, finger nor toe, and
Yet by Indifference to Justices call
he committing murder.
\ man who dares defy public opinion
for the right is a hero, while he who
bows to policy and submits to majority
is q wolf in Il sheep fleece.
There are thirgs we can never get
used to. and the little man who is NOR
bidly sensitive from having his pet
corns repeatedly trodden on by his
coarser natured and clumsier brothers
know it.
Men want many virtues in their wives
that they may do their own doubtful
deeds unseen in their shadows.
If a husband is found trustworthy
out of sight, he may be pretty mean
while no one else is near, without
losing his wife's love irre,rieyably.
4 man who is perfection in his
element, is often the reverse when out
of 1t.
The honest man when asked to dis
close his knOwledg e on some delicate
point unnecessarily, says a former
promise or a sense OF duty fOrbids,
while the coward with personal fear as
is restraint, SAYS he doesn't know, or
he has forgotten it, but he Will
kindly find out all about the matter
Then he bows TO the back of a lady
who has just passed on the other side
i the street. and whom he d0esn t
know from Eve, and hanging his head,
proceeds to walk of on eggs.
Men condemn shallow Drained pratt
tie in women, then sect and kneel TO il
as a cardinal virtue.
The sham gentleman has dozen
moral coats, that he may have one for
different occasions, and he is always
being mortified by learning that he
has on the wrong one
A man may be a shrcwd lawyer, and
yet be considerable of fool as well Is
villain.
The fountain head Of . mans vices
is his sellishness; woman $, her
/ proncness to nurse it.
4 man opens his arms to the
opposite sex, and with batteries and
smiles denies them justice; woman
reaches her hand to a man, and to
prove her honesty tells him to test it
Men pity the henpecked husband;
woman despise and would annihilate
( him.
An unprncipled man in power
does mean things without warning or
excuse; but a mean man, doubtful OF
/ the issue, first hatters, then vents the
venom of his nature.
Beware of the man who never
speaks i'll of VIGOROUSLY wicked people;
( he VIII botray your trust, rs the truth
! isn't in him.

EasIion's Chimes.

Coquelicot red and mandarin yellow
are still the leading colors in French
millinery.
Elbow and three-quarter length
sleeves will be almost universally worn
by fashionable women this spring, with
street as well as house dresses.
Birds for ball dress trimmings come
among special fancy novelties. They
are feathers and silk chenille with
wings of frosted metal in all colors.
Costumes of blue, brown, garnet and
black plain velvet, trimmed profusely
with jet, are the first choice for this
month for dressy outdoor wear.
Some of the new Paris bonnets have
perfectly square crowns, with but little
brim to speak of, but the profuse trim
mings hide the shape of the bonnet.
The Bcrnhardt glove is not used, eX-
cept for traN cling purposes. The 'eath-
er being thick, they are invaluable 70
tourists, as they are a standing chal-
ienge to the dust and dirt.
Skirts of walking-dressos still con-
tinue to clear the ground easily, and
the hint from abroad that demi-trains
were coming into favor for out-of-door
use has no support in the styles brought
over by the best importers. Indeed,
if it did, American ladies are too sensi-
BILE and independent in their ideas re-
garding dress to adopt them.
Extremely elegant was wedding
robe lately seen. The corsage was
high and the sleeves long, the material
being cream MORE; applique en-
broidery, fanshaped, ornamented the
body, and the skirt was almost entirely
concealed by heavy fall Of en-
MORE sash was gracefully draped and
knOtted above this lace petticOat
White roses fastened the tulle veil and
formed a small cOrsage bouquet.
English straw bOnnets and hats are
among the most comfortable of Spring
head-gear. Turbans will be worn by
ladies to whom they are becoming.
Scarfs of Grape or soft silk are knOtted
loosely around the crowns Of hats and
fastened with few slides or pins.
Trimmings will be massed in the fronts
of hats and bOnnets very much as they
have been, only higher if possible.
Some of the new models have strong
wires 10 support the trimmings that
are concealed by loops OF velvet or silk
being passed over them. Flowers will
be used upon few Of the early bonnets
but the majority will be trimmed with
birds, wings and made feathers, and
bands of grebe and pheasant feathers
will be among the stylish trimmings.
Many ostrich tips viii be used.
Plumes from ten to eighteen inches in
length are used, but twelye-inch
lengths trim with the best effect.

The Massachusetts Ploughman well
says that few operations on the farm
require more careful thought or more
practical knowledge than that of COM
pounding and applying manures, if
waste is to be avoided. 1t is estimated
by careful observers that at least one
half of the fertilizing qualities of the
manure made on the farm is lost by ne
glecting to mix absOrbents with II, and
by misapplication. 1t is evident that
the first step to be taken to prevent a
waste Of manure is in the loca-
ton and construction of the barn. A
cellar under it will make it less diff
cult TO prevent waste than if there be
no cellar, but there will still be a great
waste unless the manure be mixed with
some material that will both absorb the
liquids and prevent the escape of am
mOnia.
There are many things that are bet
ter than nothing, to be used as absorb
ents; but there are only vewy few
which are within easy reach of the
farmer; and standing at the head of
them may he considered fine, dry
muck. On most of the farms this can
be obtained with but little labor, pro-
viding time is given to have il well
| pulverized by the action of the winters
frosts. and to thoroughly dry it by the
summers sun Most of muck requires
20 tn -
water and acid out, and to pulverize it
so that it will be fine enough. To use
wet muck, as many do, is a great waste
of time, and, even il used in large
quantities, will not accomplish the pur-
pose; but when it is in the right state,
fine and dry, it requires comparatively
small amount each day, TO mix with
/ the manure, TO prevent any waste of
either liquids or ammonia.
When muck cannot be obtained on
the farm, good loan, dried, will an
swer a very good purpose; but it will
require more to accomplish the pur-
pose than dry muck; but it is much
I better than sand, which many use;
while dry sand will absorb the liquids,
/ it is very poor material to hold the
ammonia: Charcoal is one of the best
materials, even better than dry muck,
| if fine, and viii absorb more liquid TO
( the load, and retain the ammonia bet
( ter; but this is a material that compar-
I lively few farmers can get. Plaster is
next TO charcoal; but the farmer can
not get this without paying out money
I that he is very likely TO think he can
not spare; yet it would be money well
spent, when he cannot readily get 9TH
er materials to save the liquids.

Orchard butcher

An eminent historian asserts that
the life of the immortal Washington was
abridged by the injudicious use of
the lance; that one medical practitioner
summoned bled him profusely; another
done likewise; aud the third soon had
him beyond the reach of medical aid.
In like manner, some of the fruit
growers in southern Kansas are now
daily seen, either inflicting permanent
injury to or abridging the life of their
apple trees by using the pruning knife
too freely They seem to be unaware
that tie southwestsrly wind is to un-
wind it the prevailing one, that trees
unprotected are sure to lean in a north
easterly direction. and therefore, each
limb or branch cut from the south side
of the tree is an injury to it.
And the owners of two large and
thrifty orhards, which have been pro-
tected from the elements by thick,
tall hedge, have recently been robbed
Of protection, as the hedge has re-
