IN MEmORIAM.
Mamie ID. LOESCH

Mamie II. LOESCh.
Death has entered our school for the
first time in our experience, and has
taken one of the most promising stu
dents. The universal grief throughout
the school attests far more forcibly
than words can express the place
which she held in the hearts and
thoughts of all.
Mamie Loesch had been a regular
attendant at our school for the past
seven years, until four weeks before
her death, the sad event occurring on
Sabbath morning, Feb. 5th. Her fu-
neral was largely attended at the home
of her parents, on Monday afternoon.
The school, wearing Grape, and sprigs
of evergreen, followed the remains of
their friend to the grave.
OF her work in school too much in
praise cannot be said, Gifted with
more than ordinary ability, always
diligent, punctual and faithful in the
performance of every duty, she had
won the respect of all, both teachers
and scholars, In her connection with
the school not an absence without ex
cuse can be recalled, nor an act of hers
which called forth a reproval. Nor
did she exceli in her studies only, but
took an active part in all the interests s
connected with the school. No
organization among her school mates
was complete without her. She was
an active member of the school litera.

The Model Woman.

If any woman wishes to know
whether she is a perfect specimen of
her sex she has only to apply the
rules laid down for ascertaining the
fact and figure on the results. First,
as to height, tastes differ, but the
Medicean Venus is s feet 5 inches in
height, and this is held by many
Sculptors and artists to be the most
admirable stature for a woman. AS
for coloring and shape, here is the
code laid down by the Arabs, who
say that woman should have these
things: Black-Hair, eyebrows,
lashes and pupils. White-Skin,
teeth and globe of the eye. Red
Tongue, lips and cheeks. Round
Head, neck, arms, ankles and waist.
Long-Back, fingers, arms and limbs.
Large-Forehead, eyes and lips.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, nose and feet.
Small-Ears, bust and hands.
For woman of 5 feet 5, 1873 pounds
is the proper weight, and if she be
well formed she can stand another
ten pounds without greatly showing
it. When her arms are extended she
should measure from tip of middle
finger to tip of middle finger just
feet ., exactly her own height. The
length of her hand should be just :
tenth of that, and her foot just ;
seventh, and the diameter of he,
chest a fifth. From her thighs to tn,
ground she should measure Just wha
she measures from the thighs to tn,
top of the head The knee SHOULD
come exactly midway between tn
thigh and heel. The distance from

BARN FOR LAMBS.
How TO Arrange 1t for the Accommoda-
ton of Large Flock.

An Ohio subscriber who has flock
of two hundred ewes proposes to build
barn for them. and asks advice as to
what size it should be. and how it will
be best to arrange it for the accom-
mediation of so large flock and their
lambs. A convenient barn may be
built in the usual form, or it may be
an octagonal. Some would build the
barn twenty feet wide; but as mar
row barn is more expensive in proper
ton to space inclosed than wide one,
there does not seem to be any advan-
tage commensurate with the extra cost
for building narrow barn when as
many as two hundred are to be pro-
vided for 1t is true that sheep are
. likely to be healthier in small flocks,
but the basement Of barn forty or
forty-two feet wide may De divid-
ed by q wall or partition in the
middle lengthwise. so as to divide
it into two distinct apartments, and
The barn overhead for storing fodder
for winter will be sufficient for all.
On farms des igned to accommodate
two hundred sheep, it would certainly
be advisable to build permanent walls
for basement either of stone, brick
or cement-the latter seem to be bet
ter adapted to sheep than stone walls,
because they are drier, and the sheep
is very sensitive to damp situations.
The sight for the barn should be on q
dry piece Of ground, and at least on a
slight elevation, if possible, so as to
give fresh air
The sheep apartment should be well
ventilated. and the yard attached
should have a sunny exposure. The
floor over the basement should be
made dust tight; and this is cheaply
done by using rough boards, and in-
stead of matching, laying pine lath
under the joints of boards, and nail
ing the boards down over the lath.
This makes u tighter floor than one
matched, because the lath laps on fur
Their than the matching. -LiUe- Stock

Simamese Women.

Siamese women are the only peo-
pie who thoroughly understand
home rule. They know its meaning,
and carry out its principles to a de-
gree which would excite the admir-
alton of the most ardent Irishman-
that is, if not married to one of
them. They understand that the
man, the husband, is ''lord of crea-
tien"-outside the house; that he
is quite a superior person-but not at
home; that he has great part to
play in the universe-but a very,
very small part to playin the econo-
my of the HOUSEHOLD; that he repre- e.
sents the working capacity Of the
family-but that he is no ornament
to it; and that if he does not recognize
to them very patent facts, the sooner
he is taught them the better for him
and all parties concerned-especially
his wife. On these points all Siamese
women are agreed. They may diff
fer on unimportant matters, but on
the true principle of home govern
ment there is no difference. Out of
doors the man may be absolutely
chieftain; in the home his place is
distinctly subordinate one. You,
ifyou be a traveller, see this shortly
after your arrival in Bangkok, the
capital of Siam. AS you go up the
river, or any of the numerous canals
leading to it, in the morning-for
Bangkok, like Venice, is built on the
water-yOu see lying on the fiat rats

A SONG OF LIFE.

Let's oftener talk of noble deeds,
And rarer OF the bad ones,
And sing about our happy days,
Aud not about our sad ones.
Wewere not made to fret and sigh,
And when grief sleeps to wake it;
Bright Happiness is standing by
This life is what we make it.
Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or be believers in it;
A light there is in every soul
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh, there is slumbering good in all,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand
This life is what we make it.
Then here's to those whose loving hearts
Shed life and joy about them.
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We meier had known without them.
Oil this should bea happy world
To all who partakeit; @a f& .
The faults our own If it is not
This life is what we make it.
