"Pin.e"-In beginning of the year, one Of nv
new resolutions was TO raise more chickens than
had previously. So ! had nice house built as one

Oh SO sick-the mother hens clucking and trying TO
wake them up, and their seeming distress over their
failure to do SO. At such moments one wants
counsel and sympathy, so back TO the house

The Child's Feelings.

From Rural New Yorker.
1t is positively inhuman to call attention to a
chiid's personal shortcomings. We cannot appre-
ciate the hearless pleasure obtained from twiing
child about his large feet his coarse red hands his
freckles his awkwardness and so on. Such refer
ences are almost to intensity the defect, what
ever it may be, by making the child fooshly sensi.
tive over it, causing him to act in an unnatural and
constrained manner before strangers. The writer
has never forgotten her feelings when girl of 10
upon being told that her hair was coarse and that
coarse hair was an indication of coarse character.

From Country Gentleman.
The best planned houses for daily use and COM
fort) that have known were mainly planned by
women, who, if they were not architects. at least
knew very clearly what they wanted in a house
and only needed an architect to put their ideas in
working shape. On the other hand some of the
worst-planned houses have seen were the worl, of
male architects of high repute, in which comfort
was sacrificed to outside show. Given the profess
s1onal training, these women of natural ability
would far excel their masculine competitors

One of our little friends ask that we print the
poem below, as it was promised to some of the
cousins and so many have sent for it, that 1t is best
to let all have it. Hope our boys will read it care
fully.
NO DRUNKARDS THERE.
There is beautiful land, we are told,
With rivers of silver and streets Of gold:
Bright are the beings whose shining feet
Wander along each quiet street.
Sweet is the music that fills the air
No drunkards are there.
No garrets ere there, where the weary wait,
Where the room is cold and the hours are late;
No pale faced wife, with looks of fear,
Listens for steps she breads to hear.
The hearts are free from pain and care
No drink is sold there
All the long day, in that beautiful land
The clear waters ripple DER beds of sand;
And down on the edge of the waters brink
mThose white roted beings wander nor shrink;
Nor fear the power of the tempter's snare
For no wine is there.
Father look down from thy throne, praMA
Hasten, oh {! hasten the glorious day.
Help us to work as temperance band,
To drive the demon from the land
Teach US TO say we will dry every tear
Which drink makes flow here.

Pretty Parasols.

AMONG the pretty fancies of this season the
great variety in parasols is very noticeable.
They come in every style and colors-hand-
some MORE silk, black lace, striped and
checked, and many others. Some are COM
posed Of largo petals cut out of muslin, laid
over each other, and ornamented with spray
Of flowers. The most popular, however, are
those covered with net; and this is a good way
TO fix an old parasol. The Brussell's net comes
in crimson, gray, black and white; it is very
wide and can be cut in three widths Zone yard
and three quarters will be enough.) This is
put on by turning an inch hem to form finish
around the edge of the parasol, and half
finger width at the top, which, when gathered
mp, stands up as ruffIe, and a bow Of ribbon
to match is tackled on one side and also one
tied around the handle. These are the prettiest
and most popular style used this summer.
The crimson are beautiful, though you see as
many white and gray as any other color

Good Sense About the BABY,

From The New England Farmer.
Ifyou have any regard for the future health Of

tastes OF everything. 1t not only dsarranges his
stomach, but makes him easily dissatisfied with his
own food. child who has never been allowed to
eat Of this and that just 10 whether he likes it or
not when weaned will sit up to the table and eat
his piece Of bread contentedly while the buildings

associate these articles of food with himself, but
with the larger people and remains satisfied with
his own limited bill of fare.

A List of Rose,


John n. May, in Garden and Forest
FOR those who care to cultivate but few roses

there are many more varieties of almost equal merit
which could be added to this list but the difference
between many OF them is so slight that only an ex-
pert could distinguish them when booming to-

DO not be induced to try small plants if you want
them to bloom in the open air the first season. For
this purpose only good, fair-sized plants can be de-
pended upon. Many lovers of roses have been dis
