An Occasional Trouble.

Putting buttons, beads and similar
objects into the nose is vicious habit.
which Is by no means rare among chill
dren. When it is done the mother OF
some offic. Gus neighbor almost always
attempts the removal. and the effort
much oftener fails than succeeds. the
object being pressed deeply into the
nose. A very young child, after such
an accident, can rarely be persuaded to
forcibly blow its nose; if it could
the foreign body would in nearly all
cases be expelled. When it is too
young to do that. his nose should be
blown for him in this manner: Have an
assistant hold the head steadily between
his or her knees. then let the mother
apply her lips closely over the mouth
of the child and blow suddenly and
forcibly into it. 1t is surprising with
what ease the trouble can be re-
moved by this means. The child will
very likely cry when the operation is
attempted; If it does so much the bet
ter. If the simple procedure advised
fails. the services of physician will
generally be needed TO accomplish the
removal of the foreign body. Boston

Dolls for Use,

There was a time when there were
no fashion journals. just as there was
a time when there were no newspapers
or magazines of any sort. The French
people then. as now, originated most
of the ladies' fashions for all the
world. and. as they had no way of
making pictures of their new style or
papers to describe them in, they made
up dolls in the latest French fashions
and sent them all over the world.
These poupees. as the French called
them. were thought of so much inn
portance in England that they were
allowed to be imported without him
drance, even in time of war. These
dolls not only showed the cut Of the
costumes, but also reproduced faith
fully the materials and trimmings.
Some of them were brought into Penn
sylvania and Vagina in early times
and set the fashion for our great
grandmothers' style in dress. Now
fashions are not only pictured in the
newspapers and magazines without
number, but descriptions of them are
deemed of sufficient importa nee to send
by telegraph through the cable that
lies under the ocean.--Phtl adelph

She Found Out.

A patrolman who was going up Ma
comb street the other night was joined
by resident of that street who was Oil
his way home. When tho two reached
the house it was nearly midnight and
the citizen jokingly said:
Il guess can get in without the
old lady hearing me. Some wives are
mighty particular you know"
He passed around to the side door
with key in his hand, but in about q
minute the officer heard terrible yell,
followed by shouts for help. A
chamber window was thrown up and a
head thrust out and the officer asked
what was the matter.
''Oh. nothing much" answered a
woman's voice, Il wanted to know
just what time he got home to- night,
and so l set steel-trap on the door,
step. think it caught him. You can
90 on about your business and I'll 60
down and let him in"

and was heard to say as he promenad-
ed his beat:

In the Trapazium!

The great Lick telescope is at work.
A late report from San Francisco says
that few nights ago Captain Floyd
and others were looking at the constel-
lation Orion, when he detected little
star in the trapez;um. which is in the
sword of Orion. Mr.. Clark. on look
ing, also said that he saw the star. No
star has ever before been seen in the
trapezium.
This is important but it would be
interesting to know what this star W as
doing in somebody's trapezum-how it
got into such place, and how it is 60
ing to get out. AS ''no star has ever
before been seen IN the trapszium," it
is clear that this one was on lark.
No such telescope as the great Lick
had ever before been turning its dark
lantern on that suburb of the heavens.
Hitherto no policeman had been Oh
that beat after dark. The star was no
doubt unprepared for such raid. and
was making night of it. In mo-
ment Of thoughtless hilarty and jubi-
lat:on it had gone into the trapezium,
where no star had ever been before.
Most likely that was the very reason
he got thereto show that he could.
Tho trapezium will no doubt DO cleaned

You May if You Choose.

A statement made by wise man is,
that "eyery honest man has hobby"
The man in question did not use these
precise words, but they amount to the
same in substance.
Every young man ought to have
some particular study or pursuit (per-
haps more than one). to which he de-
votes his spare tine. Every man
needs some such matter, and he is
bound to have it. Should his desire in
this direction be thwarted. it will find
vent in some other way. and often does
express itself in a manner not at all to
the PERSONS advantage.
A man who is always tinkering
around, making something or other in
the mechanical line, is never found
spending his leisure hours In gin mill
or saloon. The young man whose
hobby is study will be found at his
books as soon as Ii days work is dono
and supper is swallowed.
"The chap who has Emusic Oh the
brain" will be putting or scrapping his
instrument early and late, and we al
most wish this one would quit his hobby
and relegate himself to the rumshop.
Many young men ride mechanical

detrimental machines and making

electricity possesses II most enticing
field. There is no end TO the directions

The Interior of Japan.

There are no homes nestled down in
copses of wood or mansions surrounded
by lordly parks. The music Of no
distant church bell reaches and lulls me-
nor does the carol of the mountain
herdsman. the chants DIES caches, come
IN wavy delic;ousness from any distant
lofty pasturagc. But in place of these
one looks upon mountains cutting the
sky with lofty cones, green to the
very summit. and clothed with q wealth
of forests fur up the sloping sides
ranges OF hills from one to five thou
sand feet high, not stretching in IA
tiguing sam eness, but notched, broken,
bent in Short graceful curves, then
lifting into sharp points. never the
same in any direction. and never
hurting the eye by rocky GOODNESS or
sandy or brown barrenness. But few
peaks exist in the land so lofty as to
reach beyond the line OF vegetation.
When the tree line is passed there
comes grassy verdure so luxuriant
that the talest heights seemed clothed
in emerald velvet. One looks far up
narrow valleys, which elsewhere would
be wild gorges, and sees them terraced
far into their depths and variegated
with various crops in all stages of ma
turity from those but lately planted
and freshly green to others golden
and ready for the sickle. Every noun

thus terraced as far up as streams offer

TIE AMERICAN BUFFALO.
wsntUn Extermin alton of One Of the

WantUn DETERMINATION OF one OF the
Most Useful wild Animals.
Twenty years ago there were as
many buffalo between Western Kansas
and Nebraska and the Rocky Noun
tains, and Northern Texas and the
British American line, as there are cat
tie at the present time in the same area.
The buffalo is gu te as valuable an ami
NAL as the plains cowi its hide Is as
useful and its flesh not less palatable
and nutritious, and the buffalo had
this important advantage over domestic
cattle, it did not perish in the winter.
Left to Their own unerring instincts,
the herds spent Their summers in the
north, and their winters in the south
journey .ng from Wyoming and Dakota
TO texas Mt the approach of cold
weather, and returning to the high
attitudes and the rich heritage in the
spring. But the vast herds. stretching
10 the horizon on either side OF the
railroad tracks and browsing peace
fully almost up to the very rails, that
were 10 be seen as late as 1874. have
vanished like prairie mirage before
the wanton havoc the noble beasts
we're subjected To- Five million ami
mails have fallen before 5000

was to leave the country the poorer by
The loss. For every buffalo butchered
for its hide. we have been trying to
raise domestic cow or steer-and we
have expended not less than $50. 0O0.-
600 in the work. IL the buffalo had
been protected from slaughter by some
gentle system adapted 10 their habits,
they would have gradually become
domest Gated into an interesting and
valuable feature of our great cattle
industry. The noble forests of the
West have not been more pitilessly
destroyed by the fierce Americans axe
than the Indians, the buffalo, the elk
aad the antelope BY the same fierce
Americans rifle. The only harbor for
refuge the noble game animals OF the
plains and mountains is the Yellow
stone Park, now under control of the
Government. But this little area Is
too small for any other purpose than
preserving specimens. The game is
nearly gone-only wretched remnants

formed part OF. and the country stands
amazed at the stupidity that permitted
the massacre of $4,000. 900 worth of
harmless and useful wild animals that
$50. 600, 600 worth of not more valuable
tame ones might be put in their places.

Experiment. on the Farm.

49, -
Whatever experiments are to be tried
on the farm the coming season, should
be carefully considered before the busy
season opens; then the farmer will have
sufiic ent time to mature plans neces-
sary tn make the experiment one of
value. TIC try an agricultural expert
ment in a manner to make it of any
pract;cle value, requires careful thought
to establish the plan upon which it is to
be tried; it also requ res constant
watchfulness during the growing sea-
harvest.
d Most of experiments, to be of any
value, must be so tried as TO secure a
comparison with methods we are IA
miliar with, and the value of which we
have ascertained; if we fail to do this
the variations of seasons and soils are
such that the experiment will prove to
be valueless.
In field experiments the land should
be divided into two parts, so that one
shall be treated In manner that we
are familiar with; then we shall be able
to compare the experiment with some
thing that we have some knowledge Of;
thus conclusions can be drawn that
may be of some practical value. II we
have nothing to compare the expert
ment with except our judgment as to
what it ought to be. we can derive but
very little information of any value.
There are SO many things to come
in to change the result of an agricul-
tural experiment that few persons are
careful enough to try an experiment
in a manner to secure correct results.
While it Is important that farmers
should be continually trying expert
ments. it is equally important that they
should confine themselves to making
only such as they fully understand.
and are willing to expend sufficient
time to try in the most careful man.
ner.. The more difficult exper ments
should be left to the experiment sta
tons; but every farmer should try
sufficient experiments TO convince him
what is the best method of planting
and cultivating his crops, and of fertil-
;zng the different fields on his farm.
These are things that the farmer must
learn himself. as no one can tell him.
But in trying experiments, one trial
is not sufficient to establish anything
positive; it requires several years to
prove the advantage of any particular
operation. Great mistakes are often
made by accepting the result of a
single experiment, and mistakes are
frequently made by guessing at re-
suits. II person is prejudiced in fav-
or of any particular operation, it is
very easy to guess at quantities so as
to make the result coin eide with the
prejudice; it is only by weight and
me asure that the true results can be
known. When the whole field is
treated in any particular manner, it is
not an experiment of any value,
though the same field may have been
treated in different manner the year
before. because the seasons are so
variable, and the soil may have lost a
portion of some important element of
plant food. 1t is only by planting.
side by side, crops in different ways.
that information of any great value
can be obtained. -Pract.cdL Farmer.
