there is no excuse for either one of them.
If you have anything to say, say it, if
you have not, do hold your tongue al

Do cultivate the habit of listening TO

Do try to be accurate, not only for
your sake, but for the sake of your sex.
The incapacity of the female mind for
accuracy is a standard argument against
the equality of the sexes.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

REGULARITY.-To many, says the
Maine Farmer, the thought of regularity
in feeding. milking or caring for stock
seems one of the absurd things. Tell
them that this or that man is succeeding
by attention to those details, and they
will tell you that cit is all bosh." The
fsvorite cry with such persons is: "Such
things will do for those who have moth
ing else to do, but man with any bus
mess at all cannot afford to waste his
time foolishly." In spite Of all such
talk, the fact remains that health, pro-
duetiveness and continued service de-
pend upon regularity in feeding.
well-known farmer lately said, in
conversation, that "the grass'hopper
wears were the best the farmers OF Maine
had ever had, but the lesson had been
forgotten, and il was about time for an
other short crop" This man, during
those years, was obliged to resort to
many methods to carry his stock, anC
the lesson has saved him hundreds Of
dollars. Commencing, then, with
twenty-one pounds of hay per day, he
has gradually reduced it, until now his
COW. get nine pounds of hay per day in
wintor, with two quarts OF corn meal
and four of shorts, while his horses
farm horses that do a full measure OF
work-receve six pounds of hay and six
of grain Qess than four quarts daily.
Yet to-day they are fat and ready for
any service. AS much, he says, Is TO be
credited to regularity rs to quantity and
quality.

CHECK REINs.-Check reins, as gen.
ersl rule, are of little use on the road,
except in the case Of invetsrate stunt
blers. These il is necessary to some
times check up high, so as to make them
lift up their feet. and besides, if they do
trip, the check rein Furnishes them Sc
verely. Stumbling is chiefly due to bad
shooting, hence this use OF the check
.avors of needless cruelty. II horse

shoes and drive him barefoot, being
careful not to break his hoofs. He will
soon get over the tendency in all proba-
bility. When the feet wear, if they do
so as to nece.sitate shoeing, if it is sum-
mer weather put on toe clips only, and
renew them often.
The check rein is used to make Il nat

high, or as high as his mate, and is often
made an instrument of wanton torture
by unfeeling grooms and drivers. The
real use of the check is to prevent a

except as above explained, when trav-
cling. Every horse works better with

GREEN APPLE TARTs.-Green apple
tarts served with cream are rich sum-
mer dessert. Pare and slice the apples
thinly. Put them in yellow pie or
common white ware pie plate with an
upper crust only. Do not pinch down
the outsr edges of the crust. Press the
inner layer firmly to the circle on the
inside of the dish. This helps to make
feathery paste for the tart. While still
hot lift off the crust, mash the apples
with wooden spoon, add nutmeg, sugar
and bit Of butter; replace in the turn
ed-over crust and send a slice with the
little cream pitcher to each one.

almost, for the continual use of the hy-

The English appear have learned more
from the defeat Of their Yacht Gaiates BY the
Yankee Mayfower tha the Americans did
Sir Thomas BraSsey, tn. distinguished British
yachtsman, writes letter 70 The London
Times explaining the failure II was due, &c
says, to the form Of { Q Galateas hull. He
writes: The American sloop spreads s,oO8
feet Of canvas; the Galatea has a ssl area Of
7,li6 feet, while the ability Of the 0alstss TO
carry sail is conspicuously inferior. Tbs Dis
placement is 1898 tons against the lie tons
Of the Mayfower. IL weight Of sallass is
sl50 tons in the Gelstea and 4s 90 tons In The
Mayfower.
The reasons which have led 70 the introduc-
ton OF the present type Of English racing
cutter are not far 70 seek Our models have
been designed under the banetul inausncs Of
an elaborate system Of time allowances based
upon tonnage, the measurement being detsr-
mined by the length and breadth without
reference TO depth Tonnage has been kept
down by minimizing breadth, and the stabl-
ty formerly derived from a wholesome pro-
portion Of breadth to length has been supplied
by the less satisfactory expedient Of . heavy
weight Of ballast carried at an increased
depth below the center Of buoyancy."
In every aspect Of shape he regards the
Mayfower as superior 10 the Galatea, but in
the matter Of staunch seaworthiness and en-
durance be believes the Galatea better than
the Mayfiower. Then he declares frankly:
Avoiding exaggerations on both ades, ws
may build up on the solid keel Of an English
cutter a hull not widely differing In form
from that of the typical American sloop II
can be done, and pride and preiudics should
not be suffered to bar The way to improve
ment. The yachtsmen Of a past generation,
led by Mr.. Weld, the owner Of the famous
Alarm, were not slow to learn q lesson frem
their contests with the America We may
improve our cutters as we formerly improved
cur schooners. by adaptations, which nsed
aot be seryile limitations of the fns sloops
our champion vessels have encountered On

''Is there a dead man here?" asked
wrinkled colored woman, accompanied
by white woman and white infant, as
she entered the Office of w. I. Hamilton,
coroner Of Alameda county, few weeks
ago. The coroner inquired into the rea
.on for the request and the negro woman
explained that the child has, since birth,
had a wen over the right eye, and that to
cure it the protuberance must be rubbed
by the hand of a dead man nine times
avery day for nine successive days. She
was sure that the application Of lifeless
hand would drive away the wen, for had
not herself had a wen upon her neck
which had disappeared after this vOudOu
treatment And she showed her maduro
neck to the youngest assistant Of the
coroner to prove that the wen had gone.
Mr.. Hamilton told her that lying in the
morgue was the dead body of a man who,
in his lifetime, had done everything he
could to help others, and he felt certain
that he would be glad TO do anything for
anyone in his death. He led the way to
the box where the body was lying in ice
and withdrew the hand. The youdou
woman took the cold palm and touched
with it nine times the wen. Every day
TOR several days the negro woman and
the mother and the child came to the
morgue, and the strange performance
was repeated. Since the body was re-
moved the mother has reported TO Mr..
Hamilton, who is the sponsor for this
statement, that the wen has entirely dis

do not know the taste Of pure milk.
Now. the facts are just the other way, nors
shame " the farmers. Large dairynen sup
ply milk 70 city customers who will not put up
with any monkey business. Competition Is
so sharp that milk must be No l, and served
IN the cleanest, daiHtieSt manner In order for
1t to be sold at all Consequently they s-rur.
the best breed Of cows, and give them the
lest feed regularly. They keep them cleaner
than the farmer does, and see that they have
only pure water to drink Their pas
tures are weedless. One batch af Tagws-d d.
wild garlic would ruin their trade. Milk Is ss
sensitive to changes Of food and water, TO tho
health and contented mind Of the COW. as a
barometer is to weather changes. Milk is the
cows barometer.
