Comforting a Cat.
English Paper.

English Paper
Once upon time, a little orphan
girl lived with an ill-tempered old
woman called Sarah, in an almshouse
in Stockholm. Johanna, as the lassie
was named, used to make hair plaits;
and whenever Sarah took them to
market to sell them she would lock
the door and keep poor Jahanne a
prisoner until she came back. But
Johanna was good little girl, and
tried to forget her troubles by work
ing as hard as she could. However,
one fine day, she could not help cry
ing, as she thought of her loneliness !;
but noticing the cat, as neglected as
herself, she dried her tears, took it up
in her lap, and nursed it, till pussy
fell asleep. Then she opened the
window to let in the summer breeze
and began to sing with lighter heart
as she worked at her plaits. And, as
she sang, her beautiful voice attracted
a lady, who stopped her carriage that
she might listen. The neighbors told
her about Johanne, and the lady
placed her in school. Then she was
entered as a pupil elsewhere, and in
the course of time, under the name OF
Jenny Lind, "the Swedish nightin-
gale" became the most famoussingel
of her day. #tt. #s

How to Have White Hands.

A little ammonia or borax in the
water you wash your hands. with, and
that water just lukewarm, says the
Popular Science News, will keep the
skin clean and soft. A little oatmeal
mixed with the water will whiten the
hands. Many people use glycerine on
their hands when they go to bed, wear
ing gloves to keep the bedding clean;
but glycerine does not agree with
every one. It makes some skins harsh
and red. These people should rub
their hands with dry oatmeal and
wear gloves in bed. A good prepare.
ton for the hands at night is white OF
egg, with a grain of alum dissolved in
it. '"The Roman toilet paste" is
merely white OF egg, barley-hour, and
honey. They say it was used by the
Romans in olden times. 1t is a first
rate thing, but it does not do the
work any better than oatmeal. The
toughest and hardest hands can be
made soft and white in month
time by doctoring them a little at bed
time; and all the tools you need are a
nail brush, a bottle OF ammonia, a
box OF powdered borax, and little
fine, white sand to rub the stains of,
or a cut of lemon, which will do even
better, for the acid Of the lemon will
clean anything.

Wom.n's Resources.

Women need to cultivate their own
resources more. There are some who
early recognize the difference of value
between the perishable and imperish.
able things OF this earth. Every val
liable possession has it's added care
and expense. People who were once
in moderate circumstances, or poor,
even, who grew wealthy, look back at
the old life as one freer from cares and
happier; yet il they were to go back
to their early and simple style of liv-
ing the world would severely criticise
them. Every woman needs to keep
up her list of old friends, and to make
new ones, too; thefamily and children
cannot meet all the wants that mid

that she can find time to write an oc-
casional letter. If the friend to whom
she owes a letter would come to see
her, she could lay aside work and talk

Of taking pneumonia in winter to talk

Clover Notions.

Clover should always be cut when in
full blossom. This means, when the
most of the buds are in blossom and
not when the last of them are blown
out. All grain should be cut for hay
before the growing state is over After
this is past the juices rapidly undergo
chemical changes which unfit them for
food, and thefber part ofthe plant be-
comes absolutely indigestible and OF
no use as food. Nothing can be
distracted from it by the gastric
juices of the stomach. 1t is wood
and nothing more. The stems of
the clover, however coarse, if cut in
green state, make food; and the finer
portions of the plant make food not
excelled by anything for the most
healthful kind of nutrition. It is the
nearest perfection of any OF the forage
plants, or of all of the grains. Clover
hay is the farmers best crop, all in
all, if well cured and cut in it's best
state. It is reduced in value very
fast when left after it reaches the
proper condition; and it will generally
pay to let other work go and attend
to the clover. The more clover the
more stock, and the more stock fed
on the farm the more crops.-Country

There is a tendency on the part OF
mothers to do so much for their chill
dren that virtually premium is
placed upon selfishness. The child
whose every wish is anticipated and
for whom nothing is too good is apt
to grow up an exceedingly unpleasant

traordinary amount Of natural good

indulgence. Shielding children from
every chilling breath Of LIES air begets
a life of ease and selfish enjoy.

has denied herself of every COM

Ii they minded to help they might do
SO, if not there was no one to ease the
weary mother of her burden. Small
wonder is it that after these girls grew
up their sole thought was for self.
The mother was ignored by them; dis

she was only regarded as one who

tired of them, and their lives were un-
lovely and discontinued. There can
be no happiness in life unless the
straight line OF duty, which leads to
"beauty's curve" be conscientlously

in her children's minds that it is more
blessed to give than to receive.
The opposite Of this unpleasant pict-

Wonderful Growth of this COun-
try.

The New York Commercial Adver-
tiser has collected some interesting
statistics which show the wonderful
rapidity with which the population of
our country is increasing: It seems
but short time since l8SO-the year
in which Garfield was elected-and yet
in that brief space a new nation OF
nearly 100000 souls has been
added to that which called him it's
head. This is an accession equal to
the combined population of Greece,
Servia, Switzerland and Denmark.
And to 60 back ten years further, our
new population since 1870, a date
still in easy memory of most OF US,
equals the entire population OF Spain
and Portugal combined, twice exceeds
that OF Brazil, and nearly equals that
OF Austria proper, or of the entire
Ottoman empire. To take another
base line, the year OF the war, 1860,
the population of the country has in
creased from that time 27,OOO,OOO.
Side by side with this increase we need
simply give the population ofthe lead
ing great powers of Europe: The
united kingdom, "a, $50, 900; France,
37,430,O00; Germany, 42,26o,ooO;
Russia, 84,44O,0OO; Austro- Hungary,

increase of 81, 100000 equals the en-

America is 25, 100000"

Card.Playing Girls.

Philadelphia Ledger.
There are so many ways in which
girls can be amusing, entertaining and
useful TO themselves and others that
it seems great pity that any ofthem
should resort to the common vices OF
coarse men. That they do so in the
evening entertainments OF private and
elegant homes, and at the most fash
ionable summer resorts, appears to
be beyond question. And that there
suits will appear in unlocked for de-
nloralizations in the future OF what is
called good society may be set down
as among the certainties OF natural
law. Young ladies may not be ex-
pressly susceptible to such prosy NOR
al arguments, but they should not
forget that the young men who gam
BILE with them, and who appear to en-
Joy the fun, lose their respect for
young ladies in theexact measure that
the latter cease to be governed by fine
womanly feelings and standards OF
character. Men may laugh at the
shrewdness OF a girl in a game of cards
for stakes, but she is not the girl they
will trust or honor or that they care
to marry. That is an argument to
the quick, and may find it's way home.
The man who marries q gambling girl
is already an incipient sutton in q d.

Bessemer and His Bonanza.

What is Bessemer steel? Our news
papers are full OF it, and people have
vague idea that it's manufacture will
do as much as any other one thing to
enrich the south. Yet very few of our
readers know anything about Besse-
mer, and fewer still know how his
wonderful steel is made, and how the
process by which it is manufactured
was discovered.
Sir Henry Bessemer is an English in.
ventor of French descent. His great
est success came to him late in life.
He was experimenting with metals
with view to securing q stronger
material for guns. Knowing nothing
OF metallurgy he visited various iron
works, seeking for ductile malleable
cast steel. He set up his crucibles
and worked industriously, but at
first without result. One day while
on sick bed his great idea came
to him. Why not try the effect
OF a cold air blast through the bot
tom OF the vessel filled with the mol
ten mass? He shook off his illness,
pulled himself together, and proceed
ed to carry out his idea. A suitable
vessel with pipes was constructed,
with an engine for blowing strong
blast of air through the bottom of
the crucible. The dissolved metal was
poured in, and the air blast was turn
ed on. Such a fiery fury and Internal
glory as had never been seen instantly
blazed out OF the pot. Gradually the
dazzling corruscations subsidized. The
glowing mass had received a new spir-
it from the air, and when it quietly
sank to rest it was transformed into
steel. This discovery reduced the
price OF steel one-half. Bessemer at
once took his place among the great
est men OF the age, and wealth rolled
IN upon him from every quarter.-At.

The efficacy OF oil calming troubled
waters has again been proven in the
case of a sailing vessel which arrived
in New York. From Sept. 20 until the
26th gales were encountered, whom on
the morning OF that day the wind in
creased to a hurricane. The sea
was tremendous, one breaking over
the bows and washing the fcrecastle
overheard, with all the mems effects,
and carrying away the bowsprit. At
about the same time the topmasts
came tumbling down, and it was
hours before the wreck could be clear
ed away by the crew. During these
exciting events the expedient of put
ting oil bags overheard was resortel
to during the gale and by this means
the vessel was made to lie-to easily, or
the vessel would undoubtedly never
more have been heard of.

Saving Seed Corn.

Stephen Powers calls timely atten.
ton to the seed-corn question, and 1
heartily agree with him, says a writer
in the Country Gentleman, when he
recommends the selection OF "stock
seed" from which to grow the next
years supply. It is by such selection
and careful breeding that most OF the
improvement in our vegetables has
been made. If you should visit any
of our large seed-growlng firms you
would hear q great deal said about
''stock seed," and would find that
they often valued small amount of
seed at many times it's weight in gold,
or in fact they would not sell it at
any price. The seed-grower is al
ways on the watch for plant which
shows some superior quality, and
when he finds it he is will
ing to plant and select for years to es-
tablish the type. Some fifteen years
ago in husking early sweet corn /
found a dark red eur, and, never hay
ing seen red sweet corn before, saved
and planted it remote from other corn.
The first year the product was three
fourths white, and the red was of all
shades from merely d tinge to the
deepest garnet. selected the best
shaped and darkest-colored ears each
year for six years, By which time 1had
bred out the white and secured avalu-
able variety of dark-red sweet corn.
Now see no reason why any desira-
bic quality in corn cannot be fixed
by careful selection and breeding just
az easy as color. For a number of
years past have not failed to select
my seed corn in October, and dry it
by fire heat and l am so thoroughly
convinced of the benefit OF it that !
would not sell my fire-dried corn for
SIS bushel and plant seed from the
crib; even if l knew the latter would
grow. There is a strength and vitali-
ty about the early gathered, fre-cured
corn which that from the crib does
not possess.
My plan OF drying seed corn is this:
lhave a stove set up in a room that
is not plastered over head, and nail
lath to the underslde of the upper
floor joists all around the stove pipe
and fill in with corn. AS the joists
arc deep enough to take three ears,
about six superficial feet will store
.bushel. and this enables me to put up
five or six bushels of corn, and not
any of it is more than four feet from
the stovepipe When / first put up
corn in tins way was afraid it would
get too hot, but as an experiment ]

|all winter, and the ear would got 50
hot every day as TO 30 uncomfortable
to handle, and these ears tested in the
following March gave an unusually
vigorous plant.
[ believe that earliness can be best
secured by gathering the corn before
fully ripe, for there seems to be kind
of instinct in plants which has been
noticed and referred to by many able
writers-which leads them to adapt
themselves to circumstances, and the
plant grown from early gathered seed
seems to put forth every effort to ma
ture early.
If, as firmly believe. We can add
from 10 to rs per cent. to the yield of
our corn by careful attention to selec-
ton and breeding OF the seed, who can
afford to neglect it, and in what other
way can we get as much profit out of
a little labor? There have been many
seasons when in my neighborhood, g.
large percentage OF the farmers have
had but half q crop ofcorn on account
OF poor seed, which necessitated re-
planting the crop.
