TIE GOOD SHEPHERD.


Some Of the Most Impoetant Quali9ea-
tisos which He shoald Pessess.
He should be good-notured, and this
to such a degree that though the sheep
in their eagerness At feeding time should
happen to get him down and run over
him he viii not fly mad and il[treat
them (this is about a. severe test of
good nature as can be given). He
should be o6serrant, should know the
sheep and see that every one has IN
equal chance at its food. and il raising
early lambs he should be able to select
any lamb and its mother; in short, he
should see that everything is right and
be ablo to instantly detect anything
wrong with any individual sheep. He
should possess good judgment, which
with his observation will enable him to
determine when the sheep are receiving
as much food as they can profitably eat
and digest, and when any change in the
proportions of the different ingredients
may be desirable. He should be gentle
and quiet; every movement made about
the pens should be so made as not to
disturb or frighten the sheep. OF two
men having the other qualifications, the
one nervous and quick in every motion.
the other quiet and even rather slow,
would choose the latter. for. though he
might not accomplish quite as much in
a day, he would do what he did in such
a way that the sheep would not
care for him and with the same food
they would make greater gain. He
should be nsethodicdt and prompt. A
sleeps stomach is as good as a clock
DIETER than sOme) and when it is time
for them to be fed thew want it. and if
it is not forthcoming. they will rush
impatiently around the pen and soon
run off rs much flesh as the feeding
would gain, SO that the shepherds should
feed every pen promptly on time, and
always in the same order. He should
lore the business, not alone for the
money it brings him but because he has
a love for the sheep. No matter how
much the shepherd rcts and fondles the
sheep and lambs, never find fault IS in
this case he will never abuse or neg
lect them. and the sheep are as quickly
won as any other animal, and if well
treated they soon come to know the at
tendant, and his presence does not dis
turb or dsquiet them. Of course, it
goes without saying that the shepherd
be strictly and conscientiously honest;
otherwise he will shirk a. much as pos
siblc and when not watched neglect the
sheep, and in no other animal does
neglect tell so quickly or disastrously.-

CARE OF THE FEET.

4 Course of Treatment Recommended to
Ladies' Suffering From Corns, Etc.
Ladies whose feet has become mis-
shapen 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 COM
fortably 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 irrita-
ton and small eruption like rash.
Then rub into them thoroughly about
the joints or injured parts cold cream.
or what is better. glyccrine. perfectly
pure, and mixed with double the guam
t:ty of water. Especially should it be
diligently applied in the joints of the
great toes if they are enlarged or pain
full. Wipe off with a damp cloth and
dry carefully. after which powder the
feet thoroughly with rice flour powder.
Brush off all that comes away easily
and put on the stocking, being careful
that no semblance of seam comes
over the sensitive joint. Adjust the
shoe carefully-never Jump into" any
article of wearing apparel-smooth the
boot over the foot and ankle, if it is a
high top, and lie certain that it is COM
Portable.
These cautions may seem tribes, but
the feet are i'll. and all conditions of re-
covery must be observed. Take care
that they do not get very cold or in tho
least damp. The ankle should also be
protected by CATERS or leggings. if
there is any necessity for going out in
wet weather. The difficulty is in in
flammatiOn of the joint membranes,
and has had many serious results. At
night the feet NAV he wiped off with a
damp cloth. and the giycerine and pow
der repeated. Ladies who adopt this
plan will never find soft corns coming
between the toes. For hard corns there
is nothing better than little judiciously-
applied caustic. which should just touch
the hardened part of the corn, never
the surrounding Eesh. Repeat every
other day, first soaking the feet in warm
water and gently scrap;Rg the surface
of the corn until it will finally come out
altogether. Great care must be 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

One hundred pounds of honey is not
