summer of 1884, being desirious of pro-
viding some remunerative employment
for the cotter women, who had good
deal of Idle time on hand, and whose
ragged apparel betokened habits of un-
tidiness as we'll as poverty. I was
anxious to give them regular occupation
In some kind of needlework, and after
inquiries in Limerick as to what was
likely to obtain sale, I set them to work
upon handknit socks. They were greatly
delighted at the prospect of earning
something, and flockcd in to get the
work. Their first efforts were decidedly
primitive, but after little while they
began to improve; and although the first
consignments of socks sent to Messrs.
MacBirney, of Limerick, were not very
well shaped, yet they all sold of, and
the manager, who was much interested
In my attempt to establish cottage in
dustry, gave further orders. l took
great pains to teach the poor women to
knit carefully, impressing on them that
to obtain custom they must make their
work worth purchase. BY degrees they
became quite expert, and by dint of
much instruction, and constant superin-
tendence of their work for seven months,
they attained degree of proficiency
which was most crebitable. They soon
began to take the greatest interest in
their employment, and their Intelligence
and enthusiasm enabled them to improve
so rapidly that the Athac wares have
now attained a high reputation. The
kuittters can make various articles, but
they excel in socks and stockings, for
which there is more sale than for caps,
shawls, or jerseys.

In his efforts to keep agents of all sorts out
of the treasury department after 2 o'clock p.
M, that the clerks may not have their atten-
ton distracted from their work, Chief Clerk
Youmans had to make a general change
in the rules regarding admittance to the de-
partment. He has prepared strangers
card, upon which all persons from other cities
who get to the depar .ments after hours may
be admitted if they have any proper reason
for wanting to enter. This will lie a great
convenience to person who visit the city for
day only, and are pressed for time. An
other card will admit residents who have
good reason for ell t,ring the building after 2
o'clock These cards are filled out at the door by
the applicant and sent to the chief of the
bureau he desires to visit for approval. Mr..
Youmans has decided that such newspaper
men only as are registered in the Congress
sional Directory or have secured passes from
the chief clerk, shall be admitted. Those

The first club composed of and designed
exclusively for women was founded in
London ten years ago by a clergyman's
widow, who saw the need of such an
organization for her sex. Its members
now number 200, including the March
ioness Abergavenny and the Countess
Beehive and Guilford, who are sufficient
to give it tone in England. The initia-
ton fee and annual dues are each two
guineas; members having the privilege
of introducing kinswomen by blood Or
marriage at a guinea a person. 1t is
considered quite aristocratic, scrupulous
care being taken to look after antccc-
dents, but not the private morals, of all
applicants. The Alexandra is another
fashionable club, which men arc never
permitted to enter, even as guests or
visitors. Those women only are eligible
who would be admitted to the queens
drawing rooms. It began with 200 men,
bers, and now has 500. Initiation and
dues are two guineas. The Alexandra
has bedchambers, where members may
make their toilet for the evening or may
stay for limited period at stipulated
price. 1t is two years old, and flourish
ing. The Somervilie is club for work
ing women; annual dues, five shillings;
no initiation. Lectures, debates and
other entertainments occur every week,
when all subjects, except theology, are
discussed. 1t is eight years old, has
1000 members, and is exceptionally pros
porous. 1t is said to have done great
deal of good, and will do much more.

Rarn.Yard Manure.


Prof. Wyatt, In his present work,
''Modern High Farming" attempts to
impress upon farmers the necessity of al
lowing their farm-yard manures to under
go thorough process Of fermentation,
to so completely rot or carbonize before
making use of them in the field. In or
der to make his meaning still more clear,
he says:
'Let it be remembered that first, if
freshly made manure be put into the soil.
the saline and heterogeneous portions will
all be washed away by tho first fall of
rain and lost.
Second, if the manure be allowed to
thoroughly ferment, the heterogeneous mat
tiers will remain insoluble in the soil, and
will thus be held at the disposal Of the
plants ready for assimilation.
A few experimenters have strivcn
within the past few years to persuade
themselves and the world that the total
abandonment of farm-yard manure and
the sole employment of chemical fertili-
zers would result in immense economy
and increased production; but in nearly
every case within our knowledge where
the reduction of these theories has pre-
vailel over common sense, the result has
been, to say the least, discouraging.
Artificial manurcs of every kind are
necessary, we have always admitted and
shall always PROFOUND; but that they can
ever profitably and usefully replace
those made on the farm, is q proposition
too ridiculous to mort discussi on"

FOR THE FARM AND HOME.
Founder, From Overreed.

A contributor to the Now York TIT
bans says; A little city boy spending a
week with an Ohio farmer fed young
horse in pasture nineteen ears Of old
corn. The owner found the animal fin
ishing his feast, and thinks he could have
saved him from founder had he known
what to do. Overeating, and conse-
quent laundering, is one Of those
things more easily prevented than cured.
The results of the total Encouragement
of the system by tho impaction Of tho
stomach and bowels cannot be wholly
avoided, but they may be amelioratcd by
judicious treatment. No water is to be
given, or the food would swell and fer
mcnt and rupture the stomach, with very
quickly fatal results. A large dose of
raw linsced oil is the best remedy, and a
quart is tho right quantity. This causes
the election Of the undijested matter and
the relief of the intestincs. The after
treatment is of Importance; the stomach
wants rest, and feeding should be wholly
suspended for twenty-four hours, whom
q quart Of oatmeal cruel oqH should be
given. Ono quart of this at meal is
sufficient for the next day, after which
regular feeding should be approached
gradually and cautiously. The resulting
stiffness of the fore limbs should be
treated by thirty-drop doses of aconitc
and hot lamentations and rubbing Of tho
legs and feet with some active linimeut.
