HEALTH AND MANNERS.
How to Keep Yourself Well and How
Iehaye.

How to Keep Yourself Well and How to
Behave.
Ladies' whose feet have become misshapen
from excessively narrow boots can do much
to remedy the difficulty by care and pains.
Select easy, roomy shoes, and stockings OF
soft fabric. Battle the feet thoroughly in
water comfortably warm, never allowing it
to grow cold enough to feel chilly, and wipe
them thoroughly dry with soft towel
coarse crash is almost poison to sensitive
skins, and often causes irritation and a small
eruption like rash. Then rub into them thor
oughly about the joints or injured parts
either cold cream, or what is better, glycerine,
perfectly pure, and mixed with double the
quantity Of water. Especially should it be
diligently applied to the joints Of the great
toes if they are enlarged or painful. Wipe
of with damp cloth and dry carefully, after
which powder the feet thoroughly with rice
-four powder. Brush off all that comes away
easily and put on the stocking, being careful
that no semblance Of a seam comes over the
sensitive joints. .
These cautions may seem trifies, but the
feet are i'll, and all conditions of recovery
must be observed. Take care that they do
not get very cold or in the least damp. The
difficulty is an Inflammation of the joint
membranes and has had many serious re-
suits. At night the feet may be wiped off
with damp cloth and the glycerine and
powder repeated. Ladies who adopt this
plan will never find soft corns coming be-
tween the toes. For hard corns there is
nothing better than little judiciously APP
piled caustic, which should touch the hard
ened part Of the corn, never the surrounding
flesh. Repeat every other day, first soaking
the feet in warm water and gently scraping
the surface of the corn until it will finally
come out altogether. Great care must he
taken to keep the caustic from the whole
flesh, and the foot should never be damp, as
the application will spread rapidly. Such
course of treatment, patiently followed, has
in several cases restored to quite passable
shape and comfort feet that were considered
as acknowledgements Monthly.

A Question of Etiquette.

Susan asks-If lady is chatting with a
gentleman at an evening party, and she is
joined by another gentleman, whom she pre-
fers to chat with how can she signify it to
the ono already with her. without giving just
offence!
The etiquette is for the gentleman with
the lady when the other joins them, to give
way to the new conner. But il the two men
seem inclined to leave it to the lady to decide
she may make slight inclination of the
head to the one she prefers to leave, as If to
soy good evening, taking the others arm and
stalking off at the same time. All such
things, however, arc so dependent upon the
circumstances relationship of the parties,
ETC., that it is difficult to give rule to cover
any case.

OUT SHE COMES.

One rope was passed round the heifer,
just back of the forelegs, and fastened.
The other end was brought down through
a pulley, as shown in the picture. A
span of strong mules provided the motive
power at the end of the rope. The other
rope was fastened about the heifer's
horns. A group of men pulled at this,
and thus kept the animals head from
falling to one side and catching on the
stones. A steady pull by the mules
brought the heifer out without injury.
AS soon as she cleared the well curb a
door was pushed under her and she was
lowered to the ground and the ropes
were removed. In short time she was
upon her feet, apparently but little the
worse for the accident. 1t frequently
happens in accidents of this kind that
animals are in danger of drowning or of
beating their heads against the wall. In
such cases a halter or rope should always
be put on the animals head, to hold it
until help can be brought.

FARM AND GARDEN.

The Sulky Plow-Don't Turn the Farm

cry.
In this picture is a Yankee notion
which our farmer friends may find it con-
venient to copy. 1t appeared origin
ally in The Rural New Yorker. The
clever plan shown was not, however,
thought of by New Highlander, but by
an Indianian.
A heifer weighing 1000 pounds broke
into the yard during the night and fell
into we'll % feet deep. She fell to the
bottom, with her head just above the
water, where she lay looking up rs
though imploring aid. 1t seemed at first
a hopeless case, but at last a plan was
proposed that proved successful. Three
strong poles sixteen feet long, were
raised over the well and chained together
ut the top, so that they stood over the well
like three legged stool. Two sets of
hay fork ropes and tackle were obtained
and made fast to the chain at tho top.

Antiquity of Man.

What are the facts as arrived at by scien-
fists as to mans first appearance on the
earths-.R H.
There is no satisfactory evidence of man
imbedded in stratified rock, as in the case of
fossilized animals. The bones of human be-
ings have been found in caves along with the
bones of extinct animals. These are, per-
haps, the best evidences of mans antiquity;
but, as scientists differ from 10000 to zoe, 900
years in the matter, mans first appearance
on earth may be put down as unknown.

women's Names,

Charles Dudley Warner rightfully insists
that women shall call themselves by their
own names, instead of their husbands. For
instance if Mary Green marries Richard
Roe, she is not properly Mrs. Richard Roe,
but Mary Green Roe. The correct way
would be to give girl at baptism only one
name besides that of her family, as simply
Mary Green. When she marries she has only
to add the name of her husband-Mary Green
Roe. That is the correct thing IN women's
norne0

Make Winter Work.

Can't you make work for the hired
man this winter Try it. Can't you
make arrangements for feeding stock or
cutting wood that will enable you to give
the hired man home, at least? The
cities are filled every winter with farm
hands who have no place to stay after
November. Many of them would come
here anyway, but there are some who
would stay at the farm if they knew they
could have good home. These are the
men you should help. Many a young
man can be made into q useful citizen by
a little encouragement, such as you can
easily give. You have a home, with
plenty to eat and drink and enough to
wear. If you have a promising young
man at work for you don't let him 60
tramping off to the city this winter-if
few words from you will keep him away.
Exert yourself, make little extra work
for the sake of giving him a job. We
make no plea for the many foul tongued
rascals who are found on too many
farms. Get rid of them by all means.
They are worse than poison in your fam
lily. But if you have a man who Is capa-
BILE of approaching home, and who has
good in him, keep him if you can. You
have a chance to carry out a little prac-
teal benevolence that you will never re-
gret.-Rural New Yorker.

Filling Washes.


Recently we have taken advantage of
the comparative leisure on the farm to do
something toward stopping washes. In
many places we found little washes
started OH the upper side of bitches. Our
practice for some years has been to leave
an unplowed strip three or four feet wide
along the upper margin of bitches to stop
washes and filter out the dirt coming
down from above. 1t works admirably,
but sometimes, Notwithstanding this pre-
caution, little washes have started. We
had hand with a wagon load of leaves
follow each ditch on stubble land, throw
leaves in each wash, and where rocks
were convenient put some of them at the
lower end of the wash to hold the leaves in
place. In the absence of rocks o few
stubs may be driven across the mouth.
Leaves not only catch and hold dirt, but
enrich the spot, and next year grass and
weeds will spring up in the wash and
filter out the dirt passing through them.
A very little work of this kind every
summer will keep a farm in excellent
condition. 1t should be done in summer
soil is not saturated with water overflow
ing from the drain itself. This is all
the stronger reason why work should
not be neglected. Yet it is an odd job,
and at best a disagreeable one Hence
miles of undertaking are allowed to
become nearly or quite worthless for lack
of the needed attention at the right
time. All the materials for the drain,
either stone or tile, are ready at hand,
and it requires only labor to put them in
place.
When filling in after a break has been
repaired there will be strong temptation
to use more stone or to place over the
drain q covering of straw or other coarse
material for the water to filter through.
The less material is used, excepting earth
over the drain, the better its chances for
durability. Too many stones are frequent
cause of failure. They are disturbed by
deep frosts, and IL the drain itself is
loosened some stones are apt to cave in
on it. Straw and hay, sometimes used,
are even worse. They prevent the earth
from being packed closely around the
drain. In year or two they decay and
leave a vacant space over the water
course, which is only broken down when
the soil is thoroughly saturated with
water. If soil containing any vegetable
matter is packed closely around the stone
or tile there need be no fear that water
will not find its way off through the drain
when the surrounding soil 10 sufficiently

Is it better for a young man to go to the

He should consult his natural tastes. The

difficult it is of attainment. 1t is not SO much
the field as the patience and industry with
