Why NoT?-Why net plant Black Wal
nuts, Butternu,s and Chestnuts upon your
farm? l can remember chestnut tree
that grew on our homestead that was q
pleasant feature Of the past. The foliage
aud blossoms were possessed of great beau
ty, aud as the chestnut burrs began to ap-
pear they suggested pleasant thoughts of
the nutting time coming. When the first
nuts began to fall, there was much scramb-
ling for them among the little ones, and
when all were gathered many a pleasant
evening was spent cracking them by the fire.
Although am an enthusiastic fruit grower,
I am of the opinion that there may be as
much profit in planting these nut-bearing
trees as in planting fruit trees. am
thinking now of planting them about our
farm. ....,4. ...., ..t .-.st

our place near Rochester, from which we

DANGER OF THE BARBER-SHoP.-H How
many prescriptions for sore throats do you
suppose I've written in the last woekr asked
Detroit doctor the other day.
oh, perhaps DOZEN
Nearly thirty, sir. And what do you
think the cause in every case was?'
Change Of weather, of course
Ho Change of nothing! There were two cases
where the patients slept with open windows
and get cold, but in all tho rest the ailmont
could be traced directly to the barber
'What did the barber do?'
| Cut their hair. l tell you tho average
barber isa more dangerous foe to humanity
than cholera aud snall>pex, While. they
can be guarded against or stamped out,
he lives on, year after year.
'ls it dangerous to get the hair cut
| Outside of the three summer months il
is Take raw day like this and forty
nine out of every fifty mon who get
into barber's chair to have their hair trim
med will have q cold or sore throat before
Tomorrow night. would rather take .
walk for two hours without my overcoat
than to have two ounces of hair shipped of
my hsad.'
But if people want their hair cut how
is the barber to blame?'
He is all to blame. No one should have
his hair cut moro than twice q yoar-May
and September it should be done only
on war m day.
take it in tho case of young meu aud
boys, continued the doctor. "A worl from
the barber is sufficient to make them sub
NIT to haircut or shampoo. Those who
don't hear from the hair-cu,iog may certain
ly expect to from the shampoo. You walk
out of the shop iuto tho cold air, and
within twen,y-four hours you eau look for
neuralgia, toothache, earache, or sore
throat
Would you advise law on tho subject p
'We couldn't make law to cover tho
case. What I'd advise is for the people to
investigate the matter and exercise judy-
ment and common sense 1t is Just as bad
TO rob your head as your feet. You
Souldnt' dare to take your socks off
:
b0yss The risk is even greater than in pail.-
ing of aa undsrshirt. People should un-
derssana ttis. Ihave seen dozen cases Of
pneumonia brought on by hair-cu,iug on
q cold day. 1t is responsible for much Of
the asthma, and perhaps for some of the
consumption
sHow about shaving, doctor3
1t is dangerous habit. You can trace
nearly every case Of toothache and facial
neuralgia in a man to the habit of shaving.
IF all men protected their throats by chin
whiskers, aud the nerves Of tae facs by a
liberal growth, you wouldn't hoar Of half
the present ailments. When / was boy
I never heard of a case of neuralgia in tho
facial nerves. In these days it is as com>
mon as cases Of the ague. Men used to
wear boards. Tire. fashion Of to>day Is
meant to encourage ailments. Shaving
opens the pores Of the &C and invites
neuralgia to step 10 and twitoh the nerves.

Locating Widow with a Coal Mine.
He entered the Office of a capitalist
in Richmond the other day and quietly
inquired:
elbow much would vein of coal
half mile long, a quarter of a mile
broad and fifty feet thick be worth ?"
81 should say $4,000, but if you want
more exact figures and will give me the
location l think I can"
"Oh, no, you can't colonel" inter-
rupted the quiet man. AZ am going
to marry her myself as soon as the cars
can take me out there"
And he hustled out as if fearful that
the capitalist might locate the widow
and the spot.

Archduchess \,,4arle, the young
daughter of the Austrian Emperor, is
not a beauty but she has delicate bloom
and youthful brightness that make her
attractive. She has the same wonderful
quantity of hair possessed by her mother.
She is good natured. loves dogs, and is
as much at home in the saddle and is as
much attached to horses as is an Arab
of the desert. 1t is thought that she
will marry the Duke of Modena.

Treatment of Mexican Prisoners.

In Zacatecas the prisoners are worked
as cargadores. and while writing this
fifty have passed my windows and all
were loaded with wood. At other times
we see them loaded with bags of earth
and rubbish from the street, lime and
sand for the builder and heavy stones
used in paving the streets and side
walks. Many of them are barefooted
and clothed in rags, while others have
piece of blanket around the loins,
which form their entire suit. They are
driven to and fro by mounted guard
consisting of about one-third of their
own number; thus to them life is almost
worse than death itself. When lumber
or long timber is to be moved the two
pieces are fastened to the pack-saddle
on either side of a mule or burro, while
the other ends drag OH the ground; thus
they are trailed along to the required
place. This is the secret of transferring
everything for which a long geared
wagon is necessary. And it is even
said they pride themselves on their
native ingenuity, for by this method
there is no time lost in gearing and
ungearing. All the butchers supplies
are carried more than a mile into this
city. We have seen one man carry five
dressed sheep or two quarters of beef
this distance at one load, for which he
received six cents per load. And consid-
cring that his employer is not required
to buy hay or corn for him and that
he pays for his own breakfast, he thus
becomes a cheaper creature or beast of
burden than the mule or donkey; hence
we seldom see them used in the work.
Others are carrying large hogskin
baskets filled with hides, horns and tai
low, while others are peddling or deliv-
cring sheep, goat or hog skins full of
lard. This receptacle is made by taking
the hide from the animal in its natural
form, then the feet are tied up and all
cuts securely sewed, after which it is
filled from the neck and tied also. Then
when supply is wanted they have only
to unite foot or tap the body in some
convenient place and the quantity is
forthcoming. There are no wells or
water works here. hence all water for
use is conveyed by water carriers and
sold about the streets of the city. The
scenes at the fountains in the early
morning is suggestive of ancient times
to the student of history. Women by
the hundreds are filling and bearing
away on their shoulders ollas Gars) of
water. These, too, are very similar in
form to that used by Rebecca at the
well. Men are there with their poles
and water cans. In short the scene is
composed of men, donkey5 and dogs,
women, children, pet pigs, lambs and
goats. The air is filled with music for
all creatures of kind are exchanging
their morning greetings while waiting
their turn. Thus all seem to enjoy life
while reproducing the scenes of old rs
we have seen them pictured. And here
and then many dark eyed Rebeccas
are often won by the meetings at the
well.

Cruel and wild the battle.
Great horses plunged and reared,
Aud through dust-cloud aud smoke-cloud,
Bood-red with sunsets angry flush,
You heard the gun.shot's rattle,
And, mid the hoof-tramp and rush,
The shrieks Of women Apeared.
For II was Russ and Turkoman,-
No quarter asked or given;
whirl OF frenzied hate aud death
Across the desert driven.
Look the half-naked horde gives way,
Fleeing frantic without breath
OF hope, OF will and on behind
The troopers storm, in blood-thirat blind,
While, like dreadful fountain.play,
The swords fash up, and fall aud slay-
Wives, grandsires, baby brows and gray,
dfOAn after grOan, yell upon yell
Are men but fiends, and is earth hell?
Nay, for out Of the flight and fear
Spurs Russian curasser;
In bis arms a child he bears.
Her little foot bleeds; stern she stares
BACK at the ruin Of her race.
The small hurt creature sheds no tear,
Nor utters cry; but clinging still
10 this one arm that does not Kill
She stares back with her baby face.
Apart, fenced round with ruined gear.
The hurrying hOrsemau finds q space,
Where, with face crouched upon her knee,
woman covers. You see him stuop
Aud reach the Guild down tenderly,
Then dash away TO join his troop.
How came one pulse Of pity there
One heart that would not slay but save
lu all that Christ-fOrgotten sight?
Was there, far north by Nevas wave,
Some Russian girl 10 sleep-robes white,
Making her peaceful evening prayer,
That Heavens great mercy meath It's care
Would keep aud cover him tonight?
