COURTESY at Home.

One is forcibly reminded, in 60
ing from place to place, how small
and trivial often are the things
which go to make or mar the com
fort and peace at home. In some
households there is a genuine good
will and kindness which only work
out half its mission, for the reason
that it does not express itself in lit
tie cOurtesies of speech and action.
These are more important than
some of our busy men and women
may realize. The ready thank

although little things are helps in
making a happy home. Courtesy
is but the ready overflow of kind
ness and good will to all, and is
therefore natural expression which
costs nothing, but which often
cheers an aching heart, and which
never fails to make home brighter
and more attractive to old and
young.-Sabbath Visitor.

Ninety Different Dialects.

1t is said that the nations of the
earth speak about ninety different
dialects. But these dialects can be
traced to a much smaller number of
Languages. All these languages are
divided into three classes-namely,
the Indo-GermanIe, which en-
braces the ancient classical Ian
guages and those of Europe; the
Sanscrit, which embraces all the
various languages of India, and the
Semitic, which embraces the He
brew, Chaldaic, Syrlac, Arabic, etc
The Hebrew, Latin, Greek are no
longer living languages. The He
brew is written from left to right
left, and what in the English Ian
guage would be the end of the
book is in Hebrew the beginning
of it. Fhe Latin and Greek Ian
guages are written from left to
right, in the same way as the Eng
lish.
The Latin alphabet is the same
as the English, or, to speak more
correctly, the Latin alphabet is
used for writing the modern Ian
guages, except the German and
modern Greek.
In regard to modern languages,
it is said that the Chinese is the
most difficult, the Italian the most
soft, the Spanish the most pompous,
the French the most polite and pas
sionate, and the English the
most copious and energetic.
In the English language the sci
entific terms are mostly derived
from the Greek; terms Of: art from
the French, Latin and italian. In
English the names of rivers and
places are mostly taken from the
Saxon language. In the English
language the p ronouns and adjec-
tives are not varied on account of
the gender, number and case of the
noun they represent or qualify, aud
hence, if they are not well cOlIoca-
ted, obscurity. of [meaning may be
the result.
From this and other causes in
our language the position of word
in sentence admits of but little
variety. Language is one of the
strongest ligaments of nationality,
and tire indigenous tone and accent
can be rarely acquired by foreign
ers.-New England Magazine.

and other diseases which will make
the meat of such hogs unhealthy
and unfit for use.
Apples and other fruits, says the
Cultivator, should be gathered and
saved, however low the price, since
they are iatileast worth gathering
for their feeding value. If left on
the ground they are positively inju-
rious, the acid of the fruit poison
ing the soil and destroying all veg
citation beneath them. A dressing
of lime will correct this acidity and
restore fertility.
Any one acquainted with the
markets of the country knows that
first class products of the farm, of
any kind, almost always find ready
sale at.good prices, even when it is
almost impossible to find market
for common products. Then it is
for the farmers interest, in more
ways than one, to raise and put on
the markets only the best of every
thing which he produces. This
takes intelligence and care in the
manipulation, and some extra work a;
but the remuneration will we'll re-
pay for the extra labor and care.

Miss Corson said at the Balti-
more Cooking School that a Balti-
more lady had written recipe for
Cooking husbands so as to make
them tender and good 1t is as
follows: GA good many husbands
are utterly spoiled by mismanage-
ment. Some women go about as if
their husbands were bladders, and
blow them up. Others keep them
constantly in hot water; others let
them freeze by their carelessness
and indifference. Some keep them
in stew by irritating ways and
words. Others roast them. Some
keep them picked all their lives.
1t cannot be supposed that any hus-
band will be tender and good man
aged in this way, but they are real
ly delicious when properly treated
In selecting your husband you
should not be guided by the silvery
appearance, as in buying mackerel,
nor by the golden tint, as If you
wanted salmon. Be sure to select
him yourself, as tastes differ. Do
not 60 to market for him, as the
best are always brought to your
door. 1t is far better To have none
unless you will patiently learn how
to cook him. A preserving kettle
of the finest porcelain is best, but il
you have nothing but an earthen-
ware napkin, it will do With care.
See that the linen in which you
wrap him is nicely washed and
mended, with the required number
of buttons and strings nicely sew eel
on. Tie him in the kettle by a
strong silk cord called comfort, as
the one called duty is apt to be
weak. They are apt to fly out of
the kettle and be burned and crusty
on the edges, since, like crabs and
Holsters, you have to cook them
while alive. Make steady fire out
of love, neatness and cheerfulness.
Set him as near this as seems to
agree with him. If he sputters and
fizzes, do not be anxious; some hus-
bands do this till they are quite
done. Add a little sugar in the
form of what confectioners call
kisses, but no vinegar or pepper on
any account. A little spice i'm
proves them, but it must be used
with judgment. Do not stick any
sharp instrument in him to see if
he is becoming tender. Stir him
gently, watch the while lest he lie
too fiat and close to the kettle and
SO become useless. You cannot fail
to know when he is done. If thus
treated you will find him very di
gestible, agreeing nicely with you
and the children, and he will keep
as long as you want, unless you be
come careless and set him in too

DAIRY DEPARTMENT.

Ine LABOR ana Time required 10
churning is lessened nearly one
half when the churn is filled not
more than one third full.
A well fed cow can give more
milk than half starved one and
what is more her milk will also
make more butter in proportion.
Cows like to be petted, and lit
tie time spent in this way will be
repaid by making the good COW
gentle and tractable and is always
time well spent.
The poorer COWS of the herd are
generally kept at loss, and some
times it would even be money in
the farmers pockets to have a
thief come and steal the poorest
ones.
Corn and cornmeal, if fed too
freely to cows, have a tendency to
fatten them, and injure their capac-
ity for giving milk. If corn must
be fed to milch COWS it should he
fed in connection with oats, bran, etc.
The Southern Cultivator rightly
thinks that boards are much cheap
er than grain. Cows forced to take
the winter storms require much
more food to keep them in condi-
ton than if suitably housed. A
cow cannot make milk if she is par
italy frozen.
By careful selection the quality
of even common dairy cows may be
greatly improved, aud their aver
age flow of milk greatly increased.
Farmers should select and Gull
their herds Of cows just as careful
ly as the dairyman, and keep only
those which show some aptitude
for giving plenty of rich milk.
The movement in favor of cook
ing food for stock has retarded
rather than advanced within the
last few years. A series of expert
ments conducted during last sum
mer at the New York State Agri-
cultural Experiment Station seems
to prove that cooking food for
stock diminishes it's nutritive value
as compared with the same food in
raw state. They show that cook
ing not only destroys a part of the
nutritiye elements of the food, but
also renders it less digestihle. 1t
seems quite evident that so long as
the country has abundant crops OF
coarse grain and forage, cooking
food at least for dairy cows, will
not be extensively practiced by in
telligent farmers.
To the veterinary editor National
Stockman and Farmer: A few
weeks ago a cow giving a good
MESS of milk got out of her pas
ture and could not be found until
next morning, and so missed being
MIXED at night. She began to dry
up and has continued so till now,
when she does not give two quarts
per day. Have given her ever
since the drying began good mess
es of slop, bran, shorts, etc, with
no benefit. r.
Westfeld, N. Y.
ANSWER: The trouble is evident
ly due to Inflammation of the udder.

pound of epson salts with one
ounce of powdered Jamaica ginger

HORSE AND HORsEMAN.

The Cleveland bay is a product
of the blood of the English thor
oughbred and the English Shire
draft.
The well bred, well kept and well
trained. horse is without question
the highest type ofthe domestic an
imal.
A good saddle horse is valuable
to almost anyone, but the farmer
needs and makes use of the saddler
more than any other man.
There is perhaps more inadvert-
ent than wilful abuse of horsefesh.
Ignorance is responsible for more
equine suffering than cruelty is, and
we are almost ready to say it is un-
excusable.
Never allow your shorses to stand
over night with their legs incased
in mud. Clean it off at once. A
low tub and a large sponge or rag
will be found convenient for doing
such work thoroughly.
Too close confinement is as bad
for horse as too much exposure.
One of the first things the horse
man needs to learn is how to com
bine field and stable so as to Sc
cure the best results in the condI-
ton OF his stock.
An old horseman declares that
the three greatest enemies of the
horse are idleness, fat, and a dumb
blacksmith. Hardly second to
these, though, come the ignorant
driver and the lazy groom.
Horses may on the average get
one-half of their value through
blood and breeding, but it is certain
that nearly as much can be added
through care and training. A com
mon team is better for continued
service in the hands of good driv-
er than a superior team is in the
hands of a poor driver.
But few horses are ever killed OF
even injured by hard work. Ii

der of WATERFOWL, N. Y, had trans
ferred the pension which he was re
ceiving from the government to W.
G. Mclaughlin, a worthy but needy
ex-confederate soldier, of Lunen-

through the agency of Gen. Smith
Boiling, of Petersburg, to whom the
matter had been referred by Sena-
tor Malone And now the Water

to Gen. Malone to ask that the
names and address of five other
needy and deserving ex-coafeder
ates be sent to him. He has no 9th
er pension of his own to bestow, but
in the .neighhorhood of Watertown
there are five of his comrades
who wish to follow his example.
These five gentlemen draw pensions
from the government which they are

self respectable; but that some sins
are so countenanced by certain
classes that they are held to be re-
spectacle. Mrs. Browning spoke tru
ly when, with epigrammatic force,
she said; The devil is most dew
ilish when respeotable,p because he
is then most dangerous. His seem
ing responsibility throws unwary
souls off their guard and beguiles
them by begetting the thought that
their objection to certain profitable
or delightful courses of conduct is
based, not on reason or on scripture
nationally Interpreted, but on a
squeamlsh or morbid conscientious
ness. Hence, for example, when
young men see social honors paid
to rich financiers whose OVERLOOKING
Golfers were filled by means of
transactions which involved lying,
deception and speculative trickery,
they are disposed to think such dis
honest practices are not so bad as
they have been taught to believe.
So when members of churches drink
wine, play cards, visit skating
Kinks, or indulge in any other I'M
godly practices, they throw the
cloak of their responsibility over
deeds which are in themselves inju-
rious both to the moral and spirit
