Exercise Withholding Gloves.

new 1Ork Mall. A
"Many persons who never witnessed
glove contest, and who read in the
papers that Smith or Jones had been
knocked out by Brown or Robinson,
jump at once to the conclusion that
something brutal and revolving to the
better instincts ofhuman nature took
place. AS every lover of athletic exer-
clses we'll knows, this is not neces-
sarily the case, nor indeed can it be
truly said that in one instance out of
twenty are brutal exhibitions witness
ed at glove contests"
These observations fell from the lips
OF a prominent member of the New
York bar, as he noted the points made
by the amateur boxers in Tammany
Hall, where the young men were con-
tending for championship honors, un-
der the auspices Of the New York Ath.
letic Club. The lawyer, who is him
self a. member of the club, and an en-
thusiastic advocate OF boxing in a.
moderate way as a healthful exercise,
drew quite little audience around
him by his earnest comments between
the bouts, and was listened to with
respectful attention, for it was evi-
dent that he felt and meant all he
said. AS two members of the Star
and Pastime Athletic Clubs shook
hands. after three pretty rounds,
which made the perspiration flow free
ly, the lawyer proceeded:
"These young fellows will need no
medicine as long as they continue to
take their exercise with the zest they
have exhibited here tonight. The
gloves bring out the muscles of the
arms and chest far. better than the
oars or dumb bells, and while their
abuse must becondemned, their prop
er use should be applauded and en-
couraged. This peculiar exercise gives
q young man a manly spirit, and
sends his whole frame aglow in style

''Would you maintain these doc
trines in the presence ofyour famlly?"
inquired a young man who joined the
circle. -.4..::..}+.t ".
Decidedly so; my boys have few
rounds every morning before break
fast, and their appetites don't suffer
in consequence. In this hall tonight
we have lawyers, doctors, merchants
and editors, and none of them
are in disguise, and none think
they violate any precept Of proprlety
in being here. The New York Athletic
Club has done q merltorious work in
establishing boxing among it's
regular exercises and thus removing
the unfounded prejudice against it. /

experienced rather sudden change in his ges-
tculative extremities lately. 1t seems that a
little over two years ago Mr.. Sponcer had a
severe attack of Rheumatism, his arms became
useless, and, in fact, he could not raise his hands
on the druggist and obtained preparation that
acted like magic on him, for after taking the

sound and well. Rev. w. w. Wadsworth and

TESTING SEEDS.
Precaution That Should BE Neglected
by No Farmer.

Precaution That Should BE Neglected
by No Farmer.
The season passes away SO rapidly that
seed-time often comes before the farmer
has thought to test the quality of the
different seeds he intends to plant. 1t
is well to begin this work in season;
therefore as soon as the decision is made
as to what crops are to be grown, if
the seed is not already on hand. it
soon as purchased it should be tested;
to do this, procure box or large flow
er-pot, and plant twenty-five seeds of
each variety in it, and place it in a warm
room and keep the earth moist. When
the plants come up count them and thus
ascertain what proportion, if any, are
good. In this way the farmer can not
only ascertain whether the seed is worth
planting, but he can also ascertain how
thick it should be planted; if twenty
five per cent. fail to grow. he will plant
more than if only five per cent. fail. Ii
more than fifty per cent. fail to grow,
then the seed should be discarded, and
better bought if possible. If farmers
would adopt this plan it would prevent
the loss of a crop by bad seed, and it
would also enable them to decide. when
seed does no terminate, whether it
is because of bad seed bad
weather, or bad planting. When our
plants do not come up at the proper time,
we are very apt to charge it to bad seed.
when. perhaps, the seed was good and
the failure wa caused bad planting.
together with bad season; but as we
do not suspect the cause we keep
planting the same way, and suppose we
get bad seed every season that the
weather'is suci. as to be unfavorable to
our method OF planting; but if we know
that our see is good, and it fails to
grow, we shall. oegin to investigate, and
perhaps discov II that we plant our seed
too deep to grow in a cold. wet season.
In wet season no doubt much seed IS
lost by too deep planting, and yet the
| farmer honestly thinks it is because of
| bad seed.
Two neighbors often plant seed from
the same lot. and while one will make
almost every seed grow, the other will
meet with almost an entire failure;
| should the two compare notes they
would probably find that the difference
| in the soil and the method of planting
had made the difference in the result.
When the farmer test. his seed and
knows it to be good. it will take him
bat few years to discover his mistakes
in planting, if he makes any. and thus
he will be able to rectify them; but as
long as he has no positive knowledge of
the quality of the seed he plants. he is
SO likely to attribute failure to bad
seed that no investigation is made, and
so the same errors are committed year
after year.
Seed grown on the farm should be
! tested the same as seed that is bought:
for, although it may be known that it is
new, there is no positive certainty tina:
it is good.-M Massachusetts P1ou2hnsan.

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.

The old fashion of wearing rosette
of natural flowers on the slipper is re-
vived.-N. Y. Nail.
DIR. I. H. Hoskins suggestively
says that each acre of mans farm is
page of volume measuring his
mental and moral culture.
The economy of planting hillsides
and other lands not easy of cultivation
to orchard or timber trees is being more
and more appreciated every year by
Eastern farmers.-N. =. Times.
The beet-sugar product OF the world
exceeds that of cane-sugar by nearly
10000 tons annually. A low average
OF beet is fifteen tons to the acre, which
yields 5000 pounds to the acre, worth,
ut seven cents, $21O.-Boston Post.
Black Cake: One cup of butter,
one cup of brown sugar, one cup of mo-
lasses, three eggs beaten separately,
three cups of flour, ginger, cinnamo on
and cloves to taste, one-half teaspoonful
of soda dissolved in cup of sour milk.
Boston Budget.
Keep things snug and tidy about
house and barns, and do not allow So
to be lost by a neglect of work which
should be done there, for the sake of
earning 81 in the woods or in some fac
tory. When making a business of
farming, it is not easy to earn much
money at other business without losing
money on the farm.-Montreal Witness.
-Cocoanut Jumbles: One cup of
butter, one cup of sugar, one egg, one
half teaspoonful of soda, one teaspoon
full of cream of tartar, one-half of a
cocoanut grated. Add flour enough to
make it stiff; roll very thin, cut into
cakes and bake in a quick oven. This
is very good without the cocoanut.-
Boston Globe.
The farmer is often obliged to work
from dawn to close of day; his holidays
during the busy season are few, and at
night he is completely tired out. But
in return for all this arduous labor, he
enjoys perfect health, a splendid appe-
titc, refreshing sleep and an indepen-
dence that few of our city young men
ever reach.-N. E. Farmer.
The Western Rural SAYS that lazy
man ought never to get married. Home
duties are too exacting for laZiness. 1t
is the husbands duty to assume full
share of the labor that is by many sup
posed to be peculiarly the wife's. 1t
further says that the average theory of
home life is that the happiness of home
depends solely upon the wife. She is
advised always to have the husband s
supper ready and hot. 1t seems to be
supposed that she has married stom-
ach; and we admit that the stomach ap-
pears to be all there is to some men.
1t is a risky experiment to hire a
new man for the farm every season.
Half of the men who offer their services
in the spring OF the year are men who
could not keep place permanently if
they would. and the farmer who does
not hire until he is Obliged to is almost
certain to get one of these. A perma-
nent laborer, who is given a cottage
and garden, soon begins to feel an in
terest in the work and the business of
the farm only second to that of the
owner, and, becoming attached to his
home, he will naturally seek to keep
his place by the rendering of faithful
service. Exchange.
