virginia Lady of Olden Times.

But what is the Virginia lady doing all
this timeg Its not hard TO see, when one
thinks of the great house, the many ser
wants, the hospitality shown to strangers
and the absence of towns. She is home
keeping body. She has to provide for her
household, and as she can not go hopping
10 town, she must keep abundant store
of everything she needs. Often she must
teach her children, for very likely there Is
no school near, 10 which sac can send
them. she must oversee and train her ser
wants, and set one to spinning, another to
mending, and another to sewing; but she
does not find il easy to have nice WORK
done; her black slaves are seldom skilled
and she had TO send TO England for her
finer garments. There Is no doctor near
at hand, and she must try her hand at pre-,
scribing for the sick of the plantation, AMI
must nurse white and black. In truth, the
Virginian lady saves the Old Dominions'

Care of Animals In Winter.

The American Humane Association OIL
fers the following suggestions relative "a
fowls, horses and cattle to persons having
them in charge, in the northern ladltuCes,
during the winter months.
Do not compel domestic fowls 70 roo5t In
trees. Aside fr III danger OF being cap
turpd by owls and other enemies, the sway
inp of the branches upon which they are
sitting will prevent them from getting rest
while in the severely cold weather thue
exposed, feet and combs are frozen ana
the bird is So benumbed as to make II i'm
d ,s,ibe for il 10 be of much profit on the
farm. Securely sheltered from wind and
torn, and allowed To sit on broad roOst
leet are thus kept warm, refreshing rest Is
obtained and the fowl is much stronger
healthier and more profitable to It's owner
Do not clip horses during the winter
months With the same propriety we might
ut the hair from dog or shear a sheep AT
this season OF the year. The argument IN
behalf uf the practice Is that the horse In
perspiration will dry more quickly if the
hair is short If the animal is thoroughly
,hnketed, and kept In a sheltered or warm
,hce, after being driven, no danger results
from pprspiratiOn whatever the length of
The hair; while the horse that has been de-
prved of its coat in the winter time suffers
perpetually while being exposed to the
cold
1t Is a cruelty inflicted upon beautiful
carriage horses for the purpose OF style
Blessed is the ordinary work horse, In the
winter time, for, however much II may
perspire, it Is allowed to carry It's fun
growth Of hair during the cold weather.
Do not leave cattle to stand shiyerng
while extremities often freeze, in the snow
storms and severe winds of winter, when a
little time would suffice to construct OF
boards, rails, or poles, a support upon ana
around which may be placed hay straw or
weeds, thus making shelter that may
comfortably protect them. Cattle kept In
fairly warm condition throughout tho win
ter viii, as mixers, give larger and bet
ter Weld of milk. and rs beeyeS will take on
flesh much more rapidly than If left ex-
posed 70 inclement weather.
Aside from question of humanity, the
more attention and care that Is bestowed
UPON animals, with view to their comfort,
the more will they be of service and u
source of profit to their owners.

Kaloderma. % cents, of +. Y. Griggs.

The Sheridan Independent has, at great
outlay of expense, engaged dramatic
critic. His first attempt was column
criticism of the play "Our Boys" produced
in the above village recently. As will be
seen by the following extract from his pen
the "love scene" in the play did not suit
him exactly:
IT, y. Earley's character Of Charles Mid
dlewick, while not so difficult q role as
those mentioned, was we'll sustained. 1t
was less difficult Tor him because In the
line of his real character. He did not have
to 90 out of himself to be Charles Middle
wick. Ii may not be hardly fair to say il,
but il occurred TO the writer that in the
love scene between him and Violet Mel
rose If he had not placed his arm around
Violets waist quite so gingerly, the scene
would have been more impressive, Miss
Ella McClary rs Violet Melrose, the heir
ess, brought out all the strong points in her
character. She was dignitied, graceful and
perfectly at ease on the stage. Mrs. Cora
Miller in her character of Mary Melrose,
the flippant poor cousin, displayed the tai
ent of a real artist. Mrs. Miller played the
character of the tlirt to such perfection
that if II was not Tor the fact that she is al
ready married her acting would carry con.
sternatiOn to the hearts of her admirers
