Dawn Of q Great Day.


A great world is booming into sight. like
some splendid ship long waited for-the
world Of heredity, Of prenatal influence, of
infantils environment, the greatest right Of
which we can conceive, the right Of the child
to be well born, is being slowly, surely recog-
nized- Poor old Humanity, SO tugged by
fortune and weary with disaster, turns to the
cradle at last and perceives it has been the
Pandora's box Of every i'll and the Fortu-
natus casket of every Joy that life has known.
When the mother learns the divine secrets Of
her power, when she selects in the partner Of
her life the father OF her child. and for its
sacred sake rejects the man Of unclean lips
because Of the alcohol and the tobacco faint,
and shuns as she would leper the man who
has been false to any other woman, no mat
ter how depraved; when he who seeks LIES
highest sanctities in the relationships of hus-
band and father shuns as he would If thought
full Of his future son the woman with wasp
waist that renders motherhood torture and
dwarfs the possibilities Of childhood, French
heels that throw the vital organs out of their
normal place, and sacred charms revealed by
dresses decollete, insisting on a wife who has
good health and a strong physique as the
only sure foundation of his home hopes, then
shall the blessed prophecy Of the worlds
peace come true; the conquered lion Of lust
shall lie down at the feet Of the white lamb
of purity and little child shall Iced them

WHAT LADIES SAY ABOUT PRE-
SERVING THE COMPLEXION.

The Problem of Household Comfort
bands - Punctuality - Marriage Not n
FaiIure-Items.
Here is the sprightly manner in which
Marie Jansen treats the mask of beauty:
you ask me to say what know about the
complexion and its preservation, and by that,
take it, you want to know something of the
struggle have had with my own. With or
without, to my mind. is the all important
point of complexion, and of course allude to
pimples No complexion can be truly said to
he of the satisfactory kind that keeps up
humorous Irritation with plmples. They will
appear even on the best regulated skin, and
how to treat them when they do put in their
unwelcome appearance has been a matter of
burning anxiety to all us poor weak things
ever since Eve caught the reflection of her
countenance in the brazen face of time. For
myself, have tried everything from sand
paper to collodion, but am now convinced
that nothing so discourages a pimple with
life as to let it severely alone | have heard
of your ladies who gouged them out with
nut crackers, but cannot conceive that such
a mode of procedure would add to either the
appearance or the temper of the gouged.
'The remedy lies deeper, and believe it to
be exercise and bathing. So few women
who have leisure to devote to their COM
plexion ever take enough exercise to put them
into perspiration, and if you will show me

Marriage Not q Pnllure.

have said that there are very few happy
marriages. By this / mean that the number
existing where not the slightest ripple has APP
peared on or beneath tho surface is very
small But that there are plenty Of husbands
and wives who continue to live happily to-
gether until death parts them, no man in his
senses can question. Brothers and sisters
do not always agree, and husbands and wives
will differ on many things. II marriage was
q failure it would have gone out of existence
long ago, and what would you put in its
placei The world must DO populated, society
must have its laws, virtue must be guarded
and strengthened. If there was no legiti
macy, no home circle, the condition OF soct-
ETY. would become chaotic; there would be no
rights Of property, no law or order.
Because there are divorce suits Is no argu-
ment that marriage Is a failure, for they are
the exceptions not the rule There is no
doubt in my mind that some men and women
are untitled for the marriage relation. They
do not possess that instinct Of contingency
necessary for married life, they are weak in
the presence Of temptation or naturally
wicked Some marry while installing pas
sion for love, and others enter into wedlock
without any love at all, and then wonder
why they did It, and pass through life OF
regret This class have made mistake and
their married life is q misfortune, but that
does not prove that the institution Of mar
riage is failure.-Lawyer J. 81. V. Arnold

Thoughts for Young Men.

True and uniform politeness is the glory of
any young man.
A mans bearing wins ten superior women
where his boots and brains win one.
If man stand before a woman with re-
spect for himself and fearlessneSs of her, his
suit is half won.
Thorough appreciation of a good woman,
on the part of young man, is one of the
strongest recommendations to her favor.
A young man who, with any degree Of
earnestne6S, declares that he never intends to
marry, confesses to brutal nature or per-
verified morals.
The more of a man you become, and the
more of manliness you become capable Of
exhibiting in your associations with women,
the better wife you will be ahle to obtain

A remedy for tender feet is cold water
about two quarts, two tablespoonfuls of
ammonia and one tablespoonful of bay rum.
Sit with the feet immersed for ten minutes,
gently throwing the water over the limbs
upward to the knee. Then rub dry with
crash towel and all the tired feeling is gone.
This recipe is good for sponge bath also.

The Spider and the Wasp.

! Many years ago the writer, who was
/ then residing at Durham, heard q re-
markable buzzing in an clubhouse attach
i ed to his dwelling. On going to ascer-
/ tain the cause, he saw wasp attached
| by the foot of hind leg to n single thread
of spiders web, which hung down con-
siderably below the geometrieal network.
! The buzzing was occasioned by the rap
! id action of the insects wings, in its eff
forts to free itself from the above encum-
! brance, and it was marvellous how such
an attenuated thread could withstand
! the strain Of SO comparatively heavy a
! weight, combined with the twisting to
! which it mnst have been subjected by
! all these innumerable gyrations. The
| spider, quite small one, was patiently
/ watching these struggles from above,
far out of reach. But presently, Observ-
! ing that the wasp was endeavoring with
the fellow leg of the opposite side to
free the one which was enthrailed, the
cunning little spider ran down its rope,
and, rapidly attaching a fresh nooze to
the foot of this leg also, coiled it close
to the other, and in such way that the
legs were drawn together behind the
wasp's back, the scales of which, NOV
ing only inwards and sideways, pre-
vented it from darting its sting in that
direction. Then the spider retreated
again to its former secure position and
watched the results of this last man.
@uvre. In vain did the wasp continue
its severe exertions till it became ex-
hausted and comparatively still, when
the spider slipped down again upon the
body of his captive and inserted into it
some poison of his own, at the same
time neutralizing any remaining force
in the wings by swathing them with
fresh threads close to the body. The
poison seemed to act rapidly: the wasp
and was with apparent ease dragged up
by the victorious little spider to a con
venient spot for being Toasted upon.-

THE WONDERFUL PRINTING STONE.
How the photographers Business is
Made Possible.

cit is not surprising to the trade, !"
said one of firm in Warren street,
dealing in photographers supplies,
"when a new report comes around, as it
does from time to time, that supplies of
photographic stones have been discovered
in various places. There is no doubt
that such discoveries are made. A guam
/ THY of it was found in California while
ago, and then little later some was
/ brought here from Wyoming, it has
! been found in two or more places in
! Russia, and now [ understand somebody
claims to have discovered some in Aus
tralia. All 1 can say is that the only
| stones we get that are good come from
! Pappenheim and Solnhof, in Bavaria.
None of the others, so far as l know,
have proved to be of q quality to COM
pete with the Bavarian stone. OF course
it may be found somewhere else, but [
don't know that it ever has been. The
American stone was found to be gritty,
containing, as it does, numerous parti-
cles of iron.
photographic stone seems to be the
petrifcation of particularly smooth,
pure clay. 1t is a limestone, which &C
counts for its remarkable absorbent
qualities. 1t is as hard as marble or
harder, and in the locality from which
it comes the streets are paved with it,
and it is used for building purposes.
You see, it isn't worth as much then as
it is after it has been brought here and
the duty paid on it. The story has been
often told of the accident by which its
use in printing was discovered. You
never heard it? Well, then, I'll tell
you, though it is o venerable chestnut,
as is natural, it being a ninety-eight-
year-old fact.
San old cobbler in Solnhof, whose
name I don't remember, used to keep
his accounts, which were of the simplest,
on the smooth surface of his doorstep
where he used to sit in good weather.
One day he was puzzled by seeing that
these inscriptions had been multiplied,
and on investigation he found that
every time he sat down in a new place
he left a new impression of names and
figures. The seat of his leather brooches
had taken the impression of the first in
scription, and he was by no means
obliged to carry his accounts in his
head.
''The stone in Jet is of two colors, yell
low and blue, and of various grades.
The finest blue stone in the largest
pieces in jet is worth fifteen cents
pound, and slab will sell for as much
as $500. You see the price per pound
varies like the price of diamond per
carat, according to the size of the stone.
The blue is the best, and is used solely
for engraving. It is nearly as hard as
metal plate. The yellow is used for
color work and for transferring"

The First Cultivation Of Corn.

1t is important while corn is small
that the earth be drawn away from rath-
er than towards the plant. If the seed
has been dropped in deep check made
by marker, and thus comes up be-
/ low the level surface of the field, almost
any stirring of the soil will throw some
dirt around the roots. The fair pre-
sumption is that they are deep enough
already. Corn loves warmth, and too
much soil over them keeps the roots too
cold. This is often one Of the difficult
les i'll the first dragging of corn as it
comes up. The seed has been put in
hole 50 that the drag will not tear out
the young plant. If left on the level
surface a heavy drag will scarcely dis
turb hill, unless it is planted on a
loose sod which the drag can uptun.
In loose soil the drag teeth pass between
and around the corn plants, loosening
the soil, but not tearing up the grain.
Then when the cultiyatOr is first set to
work, soil may be thrown away from the
plant into the centre of the row, and
day or two later thrown back again, but
without making a hill around the plant.
The shovel plough, scooping out the
loose earth in the centre of the rows and
piling it around the stalks in q ridge,
has never any place in the cornfeld,
Yet we have seen this implement used
exclusively by farmers from the begin
ming of corn cultivation, because they
could, with it, cover up weeds in and
around the hill with the corn.

gagged through us, are up there over half
the year, and to each one of these we
send at least fifteen papers every sea-
son. They are glad to get most any
thing in the shape of paper, but most
of them like magazines better than any

'sNo; we go to each one of the newspap-
