If we know all the methods Of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled to ward
of the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable In many instances
the inherent strength of the body sufices to ena-
BILE 1t to oppos the tendency toward death. Many
however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help In other cases, a
little aid to the weakened Lungs will make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms Of
Cough, Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
Boschee's German Syrup, a careful trial. 1t will
prove, what thousands say of it, to be the "bene-
factor of any home" nov1-d1ycT

Peasant Women in cuatemala.

Peasant women in Guatemala are early
trained to labor, and with sunny natures
cheerily and promptly accomplish what
ever circumstances require. traveller
says that for ingenuity and industry they
are second to none, and are also as intel
ligent for their class as can be found in
Spanish America.
Their costume is simple, allowing free
movement of the limbs. They have small
hands and feet, and the sandals, home
made, of cowhide, are deftly held in place
by thongs that pass between the toes,
and from heal to instep, ending With an
ankle band; thus comfortably shod, the
burden-bearers step with light and easy
tread.
Each woman holds as personal posses
sion a closely woven 'fiber bag" confined
in place by a broad band passing across
the forehead, and in this strong Irvine
mesh many pounds weight can be carried,
and hundred is accounted fair burden
the matrons balance this weight over the
shoulders by carrying an infant IN their
arms, and as they trot along they never
walk, but always move with easy, ambllng
gait, Groom and hum soft luIiabies to the
wee ones nesting themselves to slumber.
Tue men of the household are the stay
at home people, but they are busy
company, tillipg the ground and prePar-
ing for their women folk the good things
that will command a fair price in market,
for it is well understood that their spous-
es ere adopts in the art and sciences of
barter.

LATE EUROPEAN GOSSIP.

The Princes of England, whose COM
plexion is not only the finest, but who
has best stood the year and tear of time,
takes her morning plunge regularly and
III water fairly cold, but she is particularly
careful to promptly make use OF the flesh
brush, using gloves of modern roughness
rapidly over the surface of the body and,
finally the rough towel in a quick, gen
eral rub, occupying both for the bath and
this massage, if one may call 1t such,
twenty minutes in all. At night the
same lady's bath is prepared tepid ard
distilled water, the admirable advantag
of which is not properly understood.
Every particle of foreign matter is
removed from distilled water, so that it is
absolutely pure. It costs about II cents
per gallon, and can be used, quart at
time, for quick sponge bath, with ad
mirable effect, especially when combined
with a little glycerine and rose water.
A recent ball given by the Baron and
Baroness Aiphonse de Rothchild, in theiI
palatial dwelling of the Rue st. Florentin,
might justly have been called a dream of
fair women. At IL o'clock the rooms
were filed with a dazzling array of
feminine loneliness, encompassed by a
scintillation of costly jewels, and with lie
tout Paris elite, the sombre blackness of
whose attire served to throw into ex
quisite relief the delicate tint of the
sumptuous dresses. At the top of the
broad staircase in marble, carpeted with
scarlet, and lined on either side by rare
vases filled with fragrant dollhouse bios
SONS, the charming hostess stood ex
tending the tiny Suede-clad hand bid
ding each guest welcome with sunny
smile and bright word. The ballroom
was a perfect picture, hung with vieux
bleu silk damask, lighted by electric light
rejecting Oh to the art gems of Greuze,
Vatican, and other great masters that
adorn the walls, corbeilIes and orchids and
roses placed in every available corner,
and spreading their fragrance on the al
ready perfumed air. collection of
pretty bibelots were distributed in the
cotillon, novel figure being that of a
large boa constructor cooled round the
trunk of a tree. In the hollow at the top
hundreds of chenille snakes of all colors
were found and presented by the gentle
men to the ladies, thus reversing the
Biblical tradition. Dainty silk aprons
embroidered with silver and golden
Spanish combs, artistic book covers satin
jockey caps, whips, and thousand and
one other things found their way into
the cunning reed baskets, gayly decorat-
ed with ribbons, that each lady guest car
ried away with pride and triumph after
the dance.

THE FARM AND HOME
IMMORTAL MUSIC.

The human heart is an organ grand,
With golden reeds and magic keys;
And it needs but the touch of a masters hand,
To thrill 1T with sweetest melodies.
There are notes Of sorrow, so sad AMI so sweet
And ringing with infinite pain,
Like tear-burdened signs, that with soboings re-
peat,
For US an exquisite refrain.
There are notes that food our hearts with the
light;
Like the wood thrush in early spring,
And make our hearts gladly TO sing.
There are notes that come with a quickening
Half pleasure and half OF sweet pain;
But If they should die, with falt'ring hand
We'd Woo their sweet music again.
There are notes that minge with strangest dis
wringing sick souls with pain intense,
That stays when they're gone. Our hearts ind
no word,
Or note to drive it hence.
There are notes of suffering, want and of woe,
Walls telling of misery indeed,
But cen in the depths God plying touch goes,
Bearing loves rythm, wondrous reed
There are notes that drip, drop, like the falling
rain,
The echo we carry in our hearts,
Till they form a sweet anthem, happy strain,
A glad psalm of perfect parts.
There are notes that sway round US like angels
wings,
A requiem fragrant as flowers;
They touch us and teach US sweet songs our hope
sings,
And measure life's measureless hours.
AS vaEeys refreshed from the bright mountain
rill,
With verdure and flowers are rife,
Thus are notes yelling up from our hearts that
fill,
With pleasure the chalice of life.
We carry these notes through the world and they
give,
To others sweet musical light;
They sweeten our dying they teach us to live,
And Danish all sorrow from sight

WORTH READING.
American Agriculturist.

Work done out of season is ill done.
1.-THE good die young" and weeds
should.
Nearly always it is the docile bull that
does the goring.
1t is very rare that anything is gained
by working in the rain.
When the cattle are put on tho grass
too early both are injured.
To increase the value of the heifer 10
per cent. teach her to lead.
No man practises economy who does
not use light, sharp, bright tools.
The mar behind the times breaks the
colt; the wise man trains it.
eternal vigilance is the price of"-an
orchard, and it is cheap at the price.
Some men allow their Imagination to
AprilfooI them every day of the year.
The lawyer is the only man of sense
who does not prefer arbitration to law
suit.
The note that is not due till two years
will be harder on you than the note due
in year.
Counting our chickens before they are
Matched would not be SO bad did we first
candle the eggs.
The successful farmer is the one that
makes 10 per cent on the money he has
lost through mistakes.
The horse with plenty of cu1rycomb
outside and plenty of oats inside doesn't
show his ribs before midsummer.
It is poor rule that won't work both
ways; nevertheless, both lending and Dor
rowing are Improbable.
None but good farmer can make s
per cent on borrowed money; and he is
the last farmer to do it.
Bad tempered cows, dull plows and
weak fences ought to be evils uncomfortable,
for they are not immovable.
The man who allows the rivulets to ct
his manure is always sure that the Gov
eminent is robbing the people. -
What doth it profit a man if he keeps
the weeds down on his farm and allow
them TO grow on the highway?
Extend the house-cleaning into the
cellar, and make the work more thorough
where Sinking would be least seen.
Better have your heart in your work
and eighty acres, than quarter section
and be at odds with your occupation.
There are now hundred rivulets on
the farm, yet it is cheaper to give the
animals drink, from a we'll, protected
from surface water.
1t is false motion that is responsible
for grevious evils, that cheap teacher is
good enough for the summer term be-
cause all the pupils are small.
1t is better to take a little liver medi-
cine than to grumble and feel blue, and
the man who has fruits during the winter
will not need the medicine.
Good highways are impossible as long
as the highway tax is worked out by the
tax payers. Collect the tax and let the
work publicly to the lowest responsible
bidder.
