Cleveland on the Stump.

1t is announced that President
Cleveland will take the stump in
advocacy of his own election. Gen.
Harrison has made a great many
speeches during the campaign, but
he has not travelled from home to
find audiences. His audiences have
visited him, coming from all parts
of the country and all ranks of the
people. This is not the case of a
Presidential candidate taking the
stump to solicit votes. The duty of
addressing his visiting admirers was
forced upon him, and he has dis
charged it with singular skill and
felicity. He has made votes and in
creased his popular strength by his
wise and timely utterances, while
not going out in search of crowds
to listen to harangues Of self-lauda-
ton or in self-defense. As Presi-
dent Cleveland turns speechmaker
he in effect announces that he Is a
ba dly-scared candidate, and that the
campaign is going against him.

A POSER.

He poses as Adonis, as dandy, as dude,
Most any where and every where he strikes an
attitude;
And, oh, It's easy to perceive, as by this youth
we pass
That he poses very frequently before the look
lng-glass.
He poses in the drawing-room, he poses on the
street,
He poses ut the table as Sybarte complete;
He poses as a courtier wherever wealth fs
found,
And poses as model when artists are around.
He leans in some directions that are really
quite absurd,
But leans not TO economy as have ever heard d;
And so it is no wonder that creditors so grim,
His temper discomposing. effect lien on him.
AT times he's quite imposing some beauty to
beguile,
And imposes his remarks in captivating style;
And that he may the better his inclination
keep,
At night you'll find him posing, and reposing-
in his sleep.
Such is his case Of attitude such grace has he
acquired,
And though his predictions are thus openly di S.
closed,
1t still remains poser why he never has pro-
posed.

THE POETS FATE.

Horrible End of q Creature Guilty o.
Producing Spring Verses.
He was tall and thin. with scant vel
curling locks. and his bluish-lavendel
eyes had a sorrowful, yearning look in
them. He knocked timidly at the
sanctum door, and in response to the
somewhat surly Come in," carefully
opened the. door and entered. He
smiled, and then lisped out in cute
little baby way:
''Thir. you will pardon thith intru.
sion on my part. but / would like
"Well! w-e-l-l!! weu!!! Go on, sir;
60 on"
''Yeth. thir; but you brighten me-
Never mind me, sir. Continue
"Yeth, thir. I'm a poet-te-he.
Il guessed as much. sir. You look
1T. You are every inch poet, SIR
Thank you, thir you are very kind
to thay tho. Will you examine my
workP''
With this remark the creature
handed roll of manuscript to the
editor, and as the latter unrolled it
the word Spring" caught his eve.
Immediately he did a sort of DR..
Jekyll and Mr.. Hyde act, and stood
glaring at the poet while his lips
were fecked with foam Great beads
of perspiration started out ON his
brow. his fingers twitched conyul-
siyely and his jaws snapped together
in nervous, wicked way. Nearer
and nearer he drew to the poet, who
tried to flee but could moi. He was
charmed, spell bound rooted to the
spot in fact Nearer crept the once
handsome. but now bent, crippled
and horrible-looking editor his eyes
emitting fierce flashes of light now
green, now red, now yellow. while
ever and anon a hideous, diabolical
laugh escaped him. Suddenly there
was an angry, snarling roar, accom-
panied by heart-rending scream,
the two clinched. a short struggle
followed. and the spring poet lay
dead. -Peck's Sun.

Awkward Mechanics.

Mechanics are often addicted to what
can only be called awkwardness. In
getting at new or strange piece OF
work, some men make so much fuss
and appear at such poor advantage,
that surprise is expressed that such
an incompetent man should be
employed. Most of this awkward.
ness or '.fumbling'' could well be
avoided by the man if he would
only see himself as others see him.
His attention is too much taken up by
some detail of the matter. and he does
not comprehend the whole amount OF
his work. A thorough mechanic gives
a thing a thorough thinking over be-
fore he proceeds to execute any work.
Ii the awkward mechanic would learn
to think more he would appear 10 much
greater advantage, and would be
worth more money to his employer. =

How to Raise Strong, Healthy and Profit
able Birds.
When they begin to pick the shell
keep close watch of the hen. 1t is a
good plan to take the chicks from the
hen as soon as they are dry and smart.
Put them in a basket of wool by the
stove. It prevents being trampled
on by the mother Some of the
chicks will break the shell all around
and the lining will be so tough that
they can not get out. These should
be helped, but never take them from
the shell if there is any blood in the
lining, as they are not ready to hatch
till the blood is all absorbed. Usually
the chicks will eat in twelve to twen-
ty -four hours from the time they
hatch. generally feed as soon as
they come out and begin to pick for
food. Feed bread crumbs mixed with
fine ground meal let with milk. Some
advise feeding cooked eggs. They
are good enough. but never saw the
advantage in them. / feed the infer
tile eggs tested from under the hen
during incubation. / would rather
sell the good eggs and buy other feed.
Chicks should be fed very often when
small. They should have sand within
reach. Be careful to give them water
often. / have seen chicks die in
twelve hours for the want of water.

Reliable Information on Matters Pertain
ing to Health and Complexion.
If you do not try to make yourself
look as pretty as you can you neglect
one of your duties. It is worth while
to make the most of all the good looks
you possess; but that does not mean
that you should revel in powder and
purchased bloom, or spend hours in
frivolous decoration. To have a clear
skin, remember that you must have
good health, and to have good health
and rosy complexion you must wear
thick-soled shoes, and spend q part of
every day out of doors.
If you use powder of any kind on
the face never go to bed without wash
ing it Off Sanitary reasons as we'll as
cleanliness require this To keep
your skin from roughening find by
trial what soap suits you best and
use no other. Frequent changes of
soap are bad for the complexion.
Beware of those which are highly
scented; as general thing they are
of poor quality, the scent being used
to destroy the odor of the other in
gradients used.
If you would keep your face and
hands unwrinkled use tepid water;
very hot or cold water is injurious.
Also avoid burying the face in a soft
pillow at night. which always pro-
duces wrinkles around the eyes.
A wash which removes the sunburn
acquired by outdoor sports is made
by adding to twelve ounces of elder
flower water six drachms of powdered
borax; apply to the skin, it will make
it as clear and soft as a baby's
Keep your combs and brushes sweet
and clean. Wash them in tepid
water containing few drops of am
monia. The grease and soil will dis
appear as If by magic. Place the
brushes bristles down to dry, and
delicate celluloid handles will not be
injured. To perfume Iyour apparel
put few drops on small pieces Of
pumice-stone, and place in drawers
and boxes and among dresses in
wardrobes.:

for cleaning kid gloves, ribbons and

INFLUENCE OF FOOD.
Comments on Prof. Henry's Interesting
Experiments with Hogs.

Comments on Prof Henry's Interesting
Experiments with Hogs.
These experiments showed that
totally different characteristics may
be developed by the selection of food
given to the animals; in brief, that
fat or a lean animal may be produced
at will almost The pigs fed on car
bonaceous foods alone accumulated
fat almost entirely. whilst the amount
of muscle or lean meat was very small.
The amount of blood was greatly re-
duced, and the bones became brittle
and were easily broken. Those OF
same age, breed and size fed on mus.
cle-forming food, took on very little
fat, their blood was abundant, and
their bones strong and capable Of
bearing great weight. As an article
of human food the meat from the lat
ter was far superior to the former in
quantity and quality.
Our English friends, admitting the
conclusiveness OF Prof. Henry's ex-
periments. go a step further and
point out other things beside
food that are important in
this matter of good meat pro-
duction, that should not be lost sight
of by our own breeders and feeders.
The management will have much to
do-liberty or confinement exercise or
inactivity. pure or impure air, ex-
posture or pampered housing, have
their legitimate effects. Heredity also
comes in for attention. Suppose the
carbonaceous-fed, the confined, pam.
pered, fat-covered animals be kept for
breeders, if they will breed, what will
the progeny be but the same lazily-in-
clined, fat accommodating, weak boned
animals that their ancestors were3
Again, the superabundanc of fat
forming foods used in fitting cattle for
the show ring may be carried to such
an extent that the off, pring will be
liable to the same predisposition to
fat rather than red muscle-sreal meat
their bones become brittle and their
blood reduced in quantity. If the
professors experiments serve to form

ing as regards hogs, it must, of course.
apply to the feeding of cattle,
horses, and all other animals. 1t is
the happy mean that the intelligent
breeder will strive for; just the proper
amount of fat-forming. and muscle,
blood and bone-forming elements;
just the proper amount of exercise
and pure air and water to keep the
system healthy, the fat and lean in
due proportion, and the productive
faculties in proper proportion. The
time is, doubtless, coming-in fact is
not far distant-When human beings
will look as much to the character of
the food they eat, ip order to produce
healthy bodies for healthy minds. as
they do to that of the domestic ami
mails they rear When this time comes
the demands of the markets will not
be for the latest meats but those that
will produce in the consumer the ele-
ments of bodily and mental strength.
This whole field of what to feed and
what to eat is broad one, and one as
yet little explored by any save few
advanced scientists. st Paul Farmer.

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Dirty boots are as much out Of
place on the hay as on carpet
A section If broken wagon pole

use in setting posts
Pastures can not be continually
cropped without something being re.
turned to prevent loss of fertility.
The man who has all his heavy
wagons built with four-inch tire on
the wheels should have rebate OF
fifteen per cent from his road tax.
Corn land can not be turned over
too soon, as the frost will greatly as.
sist in reducing it. The cutworm is
the principal enemy to contend with
when the corn is young. and the best
remedy is to pillow the ground early
enough to allow the cutworms to be
turned up to the frost.
Mortar made in the following
manner will stand. if used, in almost
all sorts of weather: One bushel OF
unslaked lime. three bushels of sharp
sand; mix one pound of alum with one
pint of linseed oil, and thoroughly
mix this with the mortar when max
ing it. and use hot. The alum will
counterfeit the action of the frost on
the mortar.
Kerosene is of great help in the
proper care of poultry. Their nest
boxes should be oiled with it as pre-
ventive of vermin. A few drops oc-
casionally in the drinking water will
hinder colds or roup. and when ap.
piled to scaly legs it effects a cure,
while it is highly recommended as a
cure for cholera

farmers would avoid suddenly cooling
the body after great exertions, if they
would be careful not to go with wet
clothing and wet feet and if they
would not overeat when in that ex-
hausted condition, and battle daily.

1t is more trouble to hatch eggs

dearer at this time. But it should be
remembered that it is these early pull

weather. comes, and this checks them
at a time when egg production is more
profit able than at any other.
Oil, says the american AoricuN-
urtst, is fatal to every insect it
touches, and sulphur is very offensive
to them. A mixture of four ounces of
lard and one of sulphur, well rubbed
together. and with the addition of one
ounce of kerosene oil and one drachm
of creosote. will be found an excellent
remedy against all sorts of insect
vermin. while the liberal use of kero-
sene oil on poultry roots will free the
fowls of their tormentors.
Grass lands, as rule, are neg
lected by our small farmers. But
little attention is paid to draining in
fall and winter. and no mulching or
attempted improvements. AS soon as
the warm weather approaches, sheep
and cows are turned in to feed on the
young blades. and if the cows give
milk. and the lambs grow fairly we'll
