He gazed upon her lovely face.
In which the bushes came and went.
And took h'r hand with stately grace
And lei her to the instrument.
Swift DER the keys her fingers flashed,
Her silvery voice rose clear and strong,
And, while his tender heart she mashedl
She sang for him the latest song
Aye, sung it, sung it with will,
And emphasized the sweet refrain
"Oh, hug me closer, closer still

She ceased, she sighed, she hung her head,
He stopped and drew her to his breast
And Rugged her close, and whispering said,

Farm Notes.

It has been proven over and over again that a
little land we'll titled is more profitable than an
extended area neglected and improperly cared
for.
Fences cost, on most farms, each year more
than taxes, and they are becoming more and
more costly as material gets scarce The true
policy is to take up interior fences so far as
practicable.
Do not use Shorthorns for milk or Jerseys
fer beef Adapt each breed to the particular
purpose for which it ia intended. Success de-
ponds upon knowledge of the characteristics
of the breeds.
layer of pulverized charcoal, an inch thick,
placed upon the surface Of the soil in fower-pots
is said to render roses more gorgeous. to varie-
gate petunias with red or purple and to spot vio
let's with darker blue. 1t Is easily tried.
Not one farmer In a hundred has enough large
and small fruit on his place-not even enough to
supply the wants of his own family. But it is
safe to say that they who have an abundance ap-
preciate its worth, and are both healthier and
happier by its use.

The Care of the Feet.
Physician, in New York Mail and Express.

Physician, in New York Mail and Express.
Almost all the troubles of the feet are I'M
necessary. Caution and common sense will pre-
vent them. Of course there some forms of
joint disease, equity and rheumatic infamma-
tons, for instance, which the possessoP Is not
directly responsible for but even these, if taken
in time, be cured Feet that perspire should
be washed every night and rubbed with weak
solution of carbolic acid. The stockings should
be changed daily, and the shoes should have
insoles that can be changed as often as the
stockings. The soldiers of the Bavarian army
are required to battle their feet every day and
anoint them with pomade made of mutton
tallow and salicylc acid This prevents
undue perspiration and keeps the feet from be-
coming diseased. Most feet can be kept healthy
and soft by soaking them In hot water before re-
firing and using ammonia and soap freely. Then
they should be rubbed briskly with a rough bath
towel and have a small portion of elycerine
spread over them Care must be TAKEN how
ever to use good soap. Bad soap is the begin
ming of many evils. Much of the most highly
perfumed articles known to the trade is made
from the refuse of rendering houses and is full
of alkali. Such soaps are positively injurious.
Plenty of goo6 soap, warm water, frequent
change of dressing and shoes that fit the feet
will prevent any trouble of a local character,
cure corns and bunions and prevent headaches
and cold feet, and sensible shoes and care of the
feet will oftentimes do in a week what medicines
and the doctor could never accomplish"

AS Others See Us,

Mr.. Grant Allen, an English writer. on re-
turning from a recent trip to this country made
the following statement concerning American
farmers:
1.-THE farmers in the States are not capitalist
farmers, but laboring farmers The wife has to
do all the cooking housekeeping and washing
for her husband and her sous, by whom the
farm is titled and also for the hired man if the
holding is sufficiently large to justify his en-
plovment They have less leisure than the
english laborer, and they dwell more apart.
They have no books, excepting religious publ
cations of a low intellectual type, and the news
paper The result is that every who
can live in towns flies from the country as
from pest,smitten city. The overcro wding
of the great urban centers is of the
most difficult problems before American society.
No one will remain on land longer than is neces-
sary to enable him to get into the town. The
unending monotony and heavy strain of the field
labor have produced two ugly phenomena of
which heard great deal during my sojourn in
America. One is the prevalence of brutal muir
ders. On this side of the Atlantic brutal muir
ders usually committed in towns in America
it is the reverse That is one phenomenon. The
other Is the fact that the women ia good num-
Der of cases become insane"
Mr. Aliens opportunities for observation were
probably confined to limited territory, and his
views were doubtless biased somewhat BY preiu-
dice, but it cannot be disputed that there are
farming communities here and there to which
much that he says may be considered applicable.
