From the New York Tribune.
A humorous lecturer is reported by
the Philadelphia Times as relating
This incident:
lgave the show in the hotel dining
room and had everybody roaring with
LAUGHTER except one awfully sedate-
looking man. Itried my funniest gags
upon him and was wild to awaken q
gurgle, or at least a smile. But all In
vain. His face was as solemn us a
tombstone through it ell. After the
show, however, fancy my surpriseto see
the melancholy man come up and give
me a congratulatory shake. 81 must
thank you, sir, for q very pleasant
evening. Your performance was very
clever. I almost laughed, sir"
Artemus Ward used to- tell similar
but a much better story. He said
that once while on alecture tour night
found him at a small townin Nevada.
In the landlord of the hotel he recoq-
nized a friend ofhis boyhood who gave
him n hearty greeting. Supper over
the Landlord said to hisguests Now,
Brown, we hardly aver have any show
of any kind in this place, and Idon't
think we ever had q lecture. Can't
you give us your lecture up in the ball
room? 1t will please tho people might
ly, and I'll take it as a great favor il
you will With characteristic good,
nature Artemus consented. The ball
room was we'll filled when he
rose to speak, and before be
had been on his feet a minute
he made an observation which
provoked e. roar Of laughter. At
which the landlord, his face white with.
rage, rose and advanced toward the,
platform with the remark. "One min.
ute, Mr.. Brown" Aitemus paused,
and the landlord having taken his.
place beside him drew a revolver from
his back pocket, and, addressing the
audience, said: Ladies and gentle
men, the speaker il q particular friend

Frescoed Women.

New York Mail: 1t is a relief to see
a woman, be she young OF old, whose
complexion is not artificial. Time
was when the woman whose face was
powdered and rouged, whose lips were
painted and eyebrows stenciled, was
viewed with social suspicion and
mentally placed where she no doubt
properly belonged. 1t is diferent now
very different. Partisan art certain
" beauties the face, but the arti-
fciality is detected simply because it
is too beautiful to be natural. 1t is
argued that the designations of FASH
ionable life, the round of gayety, late
hours, luxurious eating, inadequate
exercise and fresh air prematurely
destroy youth and freshness of face,
rendering recourse to cosmetics recess
sary. No doubt this is true, and
more the pity, and one can only con-
lecture what of faces must be
hid behind the masks seen on the
piazza, at the table d'hote, and in the
parlors. Saratoga and Long Branch
abound in these frescoed women, and,
from q certain standpoint, they are q
sight to see. It is all in keeping, how
ever, with Vanity Fair.

David N. Morgan tells the Garden
er's Monthly how he handles celery:
Il have for two seasons practiced the
following planfor handling celery pre-
paratory for winter keeping: | take q
ball OF strong cotton wick, and gath
ering up the stocks of the end plant OF
a row, tie the wick around it. Then
without cutting the wick, take a turn
around the stalks of the next and each
suece eding plant without tying, and
so continue until the ball is used up.
When the end of the wick is reached,
either tie it to the end of another
wick, or secure it around the plant.
When the celery is taken up, the wick
can be unwound and preserved for fu-
ture use. To me this plan has been
more effectual in keeping the stalk to-
gethcr, and easier to follow, than that
OF pulling earth to the plant"

Train the Girls.

The following bit of sensible advice
is taken from the Woman's Journal:
When a girl is ten years old she
should be given household duties to
perform according to her size and
strength, for which a sum of money
should be paid her weekly. She needs
a little pocket money, and the xnowl-
edge how to spend it judiciously, which
IAN so we'll be given by q mother to
her little girl. She should be required
to furnish a part OF her wardrobe
with this money. For instance, If she
gets 10 cents q week, she should pur-
chase all her stockings, or all her
gloves, as her mother may decide; and
doing this under a mothers supervis-
ion, she viii soon learn to trade with
Judgment and economy.
OF course, the mother will see to it
that the sum is sufficient to do this,
and yet leave a trifie for the child to
spend as she pleases. This will supply
a healthy stimulus; it will give her q
proper ambition and pride in her la
Dor, and the ability to use money
properly. AS she grows older these
household duties should be increased,
with the proportionate increase 81
money paid for the performance OF
them. We know Of a lady who divid-
ed the wages of a servant among her
three daughters. There is q systemat-
ic ARRANGEMENT OF their labor, whichis

rity rarely found, either with a hired
girl, or d daughter who feels that she

Correspondence OF the Country Gentleman.
1t seems a very strange thing that
our farmers should allow SO many
bushes, shrubs and weeds growing
along the public highways and in 9TH
er conspicuous places on their farms.
What a bad effect it has on the APP
pearance of a mans farm! So small
an expense would be required in re-
moving them all! Can it be that some
farmers want their farms to revert to
wilds? They all the time receive no
profit from them, but they have to
pay taxes on them. Icannot see why
it is that farmers sometimes increase
the acreage Of their land. They do
not see the extent of land which might
with large profits, be brought under
control, and produce more on a small
area with less labor, and without ex-
ira taxes and cost.
Farmers are careless, and try to do
q great deal without doing it we'll. If
they had only considered it in time
they would have been the first to ex-
CLAIM against the folly of refraining
from doing a thing which could be done
so easily, and which was of so much
Importance.
All will agree with me when / a
that if the highway is simply moved
every year clear up to the fence, no
weeds will gov there as a. general
thing, but no grass, on the other hand,
will take their place, and cause as bene-
fetal a supply as any part ofthe farm.
Every n knows too well for me to
express it, that weeds and bushes cen
not live where they are regularly now
ed every year. Every newhoh has any
sense of propriety will be struck with
the folly of so moving a field that
when the central part is cut for har-
vest, a streak will be left along the
fence which isnot moved. Let me say
to every farmer who has not mown up
to his fences fully this year, or who has
bushes and coarse weeds growing along
them, which are in consequence of
that space not having been mown in
years back, to do SO this year; NOW
every one Of those weeds and bushes,
and do not fail to do this every year,
and in a few years he will have no
bushes along his fences, and every inch
of his farm will pay and look better.

Exactly How to Do II.

o have fresh eggs the year round,
keep hens that will lay them fresh
every day. To prevent fresh eggs from
spelling on your hands, eat them or
sell to some one else. We make no ex-
ira charge for these two valuable
hints! The usual inquiries about pre-
serving eggs for several months have
arrived with the return ofsummer. In
answer, we have, as usual, to say
that we know no art by means OF
which eggs can be made to retain the
freshness of their youthfor six months
or more, nor do we know o fany meth
cd OF rejuvenating them after they
have reached their dotage. 1t has
been proved chat eggs will keep in fair
condition two or three months, simply
packed in salt or in dry, sifted coal
ashes. The common method of keep
ing In lime water is probably as good as
any. The formula is two pounds OF
lime, one pint OF salt and four gallons
OF water. Stake the lime in hot water.
Put in only fresh eggs, and keep them
covered with the liquid. Eggs thus
packed and placed in cold storage,
when the temperature is between 80
deg. and 40 deg, will probably come
out In edible condition six months Lac
ter; but they will not be fresh eggs, and
It will be prudent TO make use OF them
soon after they are taken from the
pickle.-Farm Journal.

How TO Judge Timed Goods.

A hint now about timed goods,
meat especially. Note, when about
to purchase, the condition OF the tin;
if bulged outwards, don't have it,
even as q gilt! We will explain the
process OF canning to give weight to
our warning. The meat is packed in
tins while raw, then sealed, and cook
ed in an outer vessel of boiling water,
with sometimes the addition of @
chemical to raise the temperature.
When cooked the can is pierced, and
as soon as the air and steam have
been expelled it is soldered. Experts
know when it is ready for soldering;
moment too soon and the mischief is
done, because If air is left in, the tin
bulges and the meat will not be good.
On the contrary, if the tin has sunk
Z is an infallible sign of goodness; it
proves a vacuum, which is natural,
as the meat shrinks when no air is
left in the tin.
Some may say, what matter
If air be left III the tin? Sim
ply this: Nitrogen, an element
of air, imparts to bodies with which it
comes in contact a tendency to change
and decay. Often, on opening a tin
OF preserved goods, people are heard
to say "the air is escaping" instead
of which, the slight kissing sound is
the result of the air rushing in, anoth-
er proof that there was a vacuum.
Well, w 60 SO far az to say that, as
Stunning the outward sign OF goodness

name of agood exporter or importer;
and also q reliable vendor of the ar
ticle, whether meat, fish, milk, soup
or vegetable, the chances are million
to one against any being injured,
much less poisoned, by timed goods.
Another caution, though. always
look out for any litrle globules of sol
der that sometimes find their way in
side the tin; and take care, especially
in the case of salmon and lobster, to
empty the contents, as soon as opened,
into an earthenware vessel. This is
necessary for everything except milk.

Farm and Household.


American Rural Home.
The kind of tubers to use for seed
potatoes is discussed by correspond
emit OF the New York Tribune, who
says that possibly a large crop offne-
sized potatoes may be grown from
small tubers in rich, mellow soil, but
the principle is all wrong. The pota-
to is a subterraneous branch, with
buds analogous to those above
ground, and on this account some
writer's argue that the matter of size
is unimportant. Every right-minded
nurserv-man knows how necessary it
is to increase his stock OF plants from
sound, healthy specimans only, and
the most vigorous, w~ell-ripened shoots
are invariably selected. The forth
coming generation depends in great
degree upon this act, as is frequently
demonstrated by the transmission of
diseases which ordinarily are not
handed down through the means OF
seeds. The potato cutting, as it were,
even if taken from a poor little tuber,
will, by liberal use of manure and
thorough culture, produce some large
specimens; but will the crop be so
uniformly large as if large tubers were
~sed? Reason says no. The large
tubers will give a very much better
average in the long run.

Converting Corn into Pork.

Farm, Field and Stockman.
Pork and corn seem to be insepara-
BILE articles. But unless corn is prop
erly fed the pork will be expensive.
Corn and pork only go together when
it is desirable to fatten the hogs. If
corn is used in any other manner, or
for a different purpose, the pork be-
comes a very expensive product. We
do not advocate feeding corn in the
summer to any class of stock, and ex-
p~erience shows that while it is invalu.
able to the pork raiser, and the most
convenient article he can use, pork can
be produced more cheaply when the
corn is fed in q judicious manner.
Many farmers, though aged, do not
know that clover hay can be fed with
advantage to hogs, and yet such
is the fact, We have long sepa-
rated the hog from other class
es of stock, and denied him the
privileges OF being fed on grass, cut
hay, ground oats and other food that
is more acceptable to him during his
growing period than corn, and thecon-
sequence is that he fails under the
long continued diet of corn, and be-
comes susceptible to diseases that
we're before unknown. To keep the
steer stuffed with dry corn, which is q
concentrated food, and deprive it OF
bulky provender OF pure water, would
cause it to succumb in a short time,
yet this is just the treatment the hog
is compelled to undergo, simply be-
cause "corn is king and supposed to
be cheap, when the fact is that when
fed under such circumstances it is very
costly. What the hog requires is vari-
ETY., including bulky food, and orn
will then perform an important ser
vice.
