For Those who Sleep in Church.

A physician who was asked for rea-
sons why people became drowsy in
cburch. and if there was any remedy
for chronic cases, said that the drowsy
ta,lino in church was often due to bad
construction, to over-heating, and to
the general quiet and composing sur
roundinQs. Il have often, said he,
advised patients OF mine who are trou-
HE'D with Insomnia to try quiet church
where the preacher was not too energet-
ic in MS manner, and in most cases the
result has been gratifying. The poor
man VINO has almost become wild
through want of sleep generally obtains
relief and falls off into gentle and re-
freshing slumber Many people suffer
inc in this way take a ride in rail-
road train for relief, and often get it,
hut nothing has succeeded SO well as
tbe Sunday morning service III Il quiet
church. If those people. however, who
do not need TO sleep in church and do
not want to would drink very strong tea
or coffee before going to the church tliey
might find it effective, but by no means
healthy. Why do you see the bald
heads nodding most in church? Because
the old are more susceptible to the in
duence OF such surroundings. The wom-

so dressed that to sleep would be almost
impossible If the men would lace
themselves up tight they might keep
awake, too, but in the words of Gen.
Knickerbocker. They cawn't do it, you

Proper training is the great cruz of
female education; for. unless this most
material matter be attended to, there
can be no doubt that the acquisition of
learning will only superinduce conceit,
atfectation, blue-stockingism. and utter
uselessness in home duties Hence it is
that in these days of higher educa-
ton as the phrase goes. SO many girls
are found exhibiting the unpleasant fea
lures of ilippancy of manner and self
suiicienoy Their training has been
neglected by their teachers, who have
never taught them what the real object
of education is On the other hand. we
find. too. girls of extensive and accurate
information. we'll instructed in accom-
pliShments, with q modest department,
and who can readily turn their hands
to household work if necessary, and
such we perceive to have been properly
trained Such girls, however. form Il
minority, we are sorry to say, and we
conclude, therefore. that the good train
ers are also a minority. The fact is,
Judging from what one sees around us,
the higher education" of girls, rs gen
orally understood nowadays, has for its
aim the mere ability to show off in So
ciety and to exhibit superiority over
other people. No doubt the ambition
to excel is laudable and very proper
sentiment but it is too plainly percepti-
be that nine girls out of ten who
can sing or play we'll will do so not so
much for the amusement of company
as for the display of their supposed
ability. We believe that in most schools
the daily routine of duties Is carried on
in machine fashion. The pupils fall to
their books, their music exercises, etc,
at certain hours, and so 90 on day after
day without any words from their teach
ers as to what is the great end of all
their eXertions for the acquisition of
knowledge. Thus heart becomes sacri-
feed to intellect. and true education is
Confounded with the attainment of
mere book learning and snowy accom-
plishments. We are not advocating the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS style of
training girls, but we do think that a
little more should be done for their tone
Of mind than is done in so many
schools Without such tone "higher

neglect to unite the two courses-that
we must attribute some portion of that

The Berliners are greatly exercised
over the person of an American whom
they contemptuously nickname 1.-The
rag-doctor,' but whom they envy most
cordially According to Berlin reports
this individual is neither more nor less
than an American physician to whom
the government at Washington has IN
trusted the important charge of oversee
ny the distinction of all the rags ex-
ported from Europe (?) to the United
states. His stamp alone Will allow
them to be landed on American soil.
According to the same rumor, he Is be-
ieyed to receive the round SO AIRY of
$4,000 from his government besides a
Zee ot 50 pfennigs from the exporters OF
every bale Of rags he inspects, the daily
number OF which is computed At about
490. This and the salary together
would give the 'rag-doctor an annual

Live Stock Notes

On the flush pastures of June
 the live stock should all be doing
 well. Work horses need substan-
 tial fare, and the less grass the better. Take care that the COWS or sheep do not break through in to rank clover, for they will cal enough in an hour sometimes to give them bloat or hoove, mala. dy often quickly fatal, Keep the pigs in the orchard if possible. They grow well on the clover, pick up the blasted fruit for the grubs 1t contains and stir tho soil around the trees. Ewes with lambs need regular care, that they are not too much weakened by the draft upon them, and it IS we'll to increase their grain as the lambs gain size. Ticks leave the old sheep for the lambs, so that it is well to dip the later this month before the lambs are weaned.-AmcIican Agricult- urist.

Summer Soillng.

In mid summer it is rare to find in most sections, anything like fresh pasturage unless the summer be a wet one. If milch COWS be allow. ed to fall of at this time lucy will not be able to recover full flow later in the season, even if fall pasturage is abundant. The best evidence that summer soiling will help to bridge over the dry months and gl arantee a good supply of milk through the summer, is the that farmers who have tried soilmg on d small scale to repeat it on larg. CT one.
 The pricipal objection to soiling is tEe extra labor it entails; but we belive that the economy in feed and in manure, where cattle are kept in the stalls and yard, will more than OneSt tue cost of the extra labor. Of course, there should be some system in the time and method ofgatheing and feed. ing the soiling crop. and if for dairy of twenty-five or thirty cows one mans time will be necessary to do the cutting and feeding, in connection with other attention to tho stock and stables. At the comparatively low wages at which such one could be hired, the ex- pense would bc very slight - American Agriculturist.

AGRICULTURAL.
Cnthrcsicd Oats for Horses.

Unthreshed oats are better feed for horses than the grain alone, or the grain and straw both fed, but separately. The album mold ratio of the grain of oats is l.61; of the straw of oats, 1.296. The food for horses at ordinary work should have an nlbuminOid ratio of 1.70 Hence, the grnia of oats should be mixed with food having lower q, ,buminoid ratio. We might bet a ration-having the proper ratio-by using corn with the oats. But it is well. known that for grain to be we'll digested it must be eaten with some sort of stovcr to form the necessary bulk in the stomach. For stoyer we miget use timothy, which has an albumiuoid ratio of l.Sl, and would give the necessary bulk. But it is mnch better to have the grain and tie stover cat en together. We may cut the hay, mix it and the grain together, and moisten the mixture; but We ac- complish the same thing more eco- nomically by feeding unthreshed oats, for then the grain, all the chaff and a good part Of the straw is mas ticated together. By thus feeding oats we not only improve the al
 buminoid ratio of the ration and provide the necessary forage mas, ticated with the grain, but ws save the expense of threshing. Oats to be fed in this way should be cut before they are quito ripe, cured thoroughly, and then moved away. They are just the food for winter. when the horses require earbo-hy- drates; and because of their man. ner of feeding are 90 well digestod, |, and are so we'll suited to tho wants of horse that he will do great deal better upon them than he would upon almost. any other food.
