In Iowa there lives q man who

The road to home happiness lies
over small stepping stones. Slight cir
cumstances are the stumbling blocks in
families. The prick of a pin, says the
proverb, is enough to make an empire
insipid. The tenderer the feelings the
painfuller the wound. A cold. unkind
word checks and withers the blossom of
the dearest love, as the most delicate
rings of the vine are troubled by the
faintest breeze. The misery of a life is
born of chance observation. If the true
history of quarrels, public and private.
were honestly written it would be ST.
fenced by an uproar of derision.-E.
Jesse.

How Amateur Dress-Makers Can Duplicate
Tailor Costumes.
In combining two materials in
1ress the amateur dress-maker is adj
vised to select plain fabric for the
most important parts and figured stuff
or stripes for the accessories. She is
also warned MOTTO purchase too much of
the figured goods, as a preponderance
of what should be the subordinate fabric
detracts from the elegance of the gown.
The yard of contrasting material can be
far more effectively arranged than if six
yarde were used. Flat side panels. or
wide kilt pleats on one side, or mar
row front panel between fan pleats, and
full silk back breadth between two
similar widths of the other fabric, are
best for the skirt, and there will be
pieces left for the plastrOn. or narrow
long vest bias collar and cuffs. Simulat-
ed plain skirts of velvet, velveteen, or
plush can be easily sewed to the founda-
ton of the skirt. and must not be too deep
all around, though they may extend to
the belt on one side.

Bows of braid or passementerie frogs

Clasps of metal or of wood are also
used on the sides of skirts by those who
do not like large buttons.
Tailors outline with braid the curved
seams on the back of basques and
jackets which join the side forms to the
middle forms. Two rows of braid are
laid in parallel curve on the seam,
and finished near the armhole with
three curved leaves.
New cloth jackets and redingotes
made by tailors have the sleeves flow

of the close coat sleeves.-Harper's

The Farming of the Future.

In 1885 farmers will live in villages
where their families will have the best
social and educational advantages.
These villages will be like the hub of a
wheel, from which will go out in all di-
rections electric railways which will
take the farmer and his laborers to tho
farm, and bring back the products to
market. The farms will be small, but
scientifically and Systematically worked.
The farmer will be what he should be

Five of the Bishops of the Episcopal

The native churches Of Japan are
strict in the admission Of members. A
play-actor, story-teller and editor of the
personal department in q newspaper,
were refused until they changed their
business.
While some of the educational
papers are yet debating the question of
the wisdom of industrial education, the
School Journal comes forward with the
unequivocal declaration that it is 1.-THE
education"
The Japanese Government has
lately sent to Vassar College a pair of
bronze vases handsomely ornamented

"A new school in Saharanapur, In

Since 1876 twenty-three missiona-

There is a school in London called
the Zenana and Medical School, from
which sixty women have been sent out

with the Baptist, Episcopal and Wes-
leyan churches. Lady Dufferin, wife Of
the Viceroy Of India, is said to be en-
thusiastic in advocacy of sending more
well-trained women as missionaries to

The case Of clergymen ordained in
the English colonial dioceses seems q
rather hard one. They are in many
cases exiled for life from England. Thus
the Rev. Mr. Malachi was ordained dea-
con and priest by Bishop Hills, Of
British Columbia, and for four years
was curate of the Cathedral, Victoria.
Family circumstances compelled him to
return and live in England, where he
desired to follow his profession of cler-
gyman. But both the Archbishops of
Canterbury and York has refused IL
cense and have told him that having
been ordained in and for the colonies it
is his plain duty to return to them.

THF GAINESVILLE CREAMERY.
A Letter That Explains How it will be op,
Grated In the Future.

We regret to announce to you that
the GAINESVILLE Creamery Company have
found it necessary to abandon the cream
gathering system. Accordingly, our
wagons will not so out for the collec-
ton OF cream after the LIST Of May.
This does not imply that the cream
cry win suspend operation. On the
contrary, we are determined to make
it a success and a permanency. This
we deem sufficient reason for the change
OF system we are about to make. 1t is
no less important to the farmer than
the creamery itself, that the latter
be put on paying basis; and there are
obstacles in the way OF the cream gath
ering system that cannot, at this time,
be overcome.
But we desire the products OF your
herd as earnestly as ever. The plan we
offer you is, in our opinion, as much to
your advantage as to that of the cream
cry. We now have our cheese factory
in operation, and are prepared to receive
your milk fresh from the COWS. This
will save to you the very considerable
expense of building and fitting up q
dairy house suitable for raising cream;
it will eliminate the question OF neces-
sary water supply, and it will save the
depletion OF your ice house.
In lieu of all the expense and worry
incident to cream raising, you will de-
liver your milk fresh from your cows,
to the nearest rail road station or to the
factory, as you may prefer. IT delivered
on the railroad you will receive $10(
per 100 lbs, which is equivitent to s!
cents per gellon; if delivered at the
factory we will pay $1.23 per 100 lbs.
about 104 cents per gallon. This will
pay you much more than your cream
and at much less expense.
! If you desire to deliver us milk, you
will observe the following instructions
1st,you willnotify us your desire and
the quantity you wish to deliver, and il
you wish to deliver on the railroad, we
will ship you the number of eight gal
Ion shipping cans you may require, i
you deliver at the factory you will ge
your cans there.
End, you will strain your morning
milking into these eight gallon cans
The cans must always be full as the Elk
press Co. charge for the full capacity Of
the can, whether filled or not. If you
have not enough milk OF your own you
might unite with one or more of you
neigbors, and save expenee.
3rd, you will deliver them at once a
your station, each containing tag ad
dressed to the "Clarksville Creamery
, Co., GAINESVILLE, Tenn, in time for thu
morning train.
4th, the evening milking will b.
treated just as the mornings and deliv
, ed in time for the evening train. l
, delivered at the factory it must be sen
Immediately after milking.
9Th, the night and morning milking
must not be mixed.
9th, upon arrival OF your milk at tn
factory it will be weighed and tn
: amount put to your credit and state
; ment returned with cans.
