The True Housewife.

Among the things that. money can
not buy is the true housewife-the old
fashioned helpmeet to the toiling hus-
band. The wife must herself occupy
this place, using servants as helpers, or
10 will remain. vacant, and the home
becomes what it is so often called, a
residence only. The duty that parents
owe to the girls of a growing house
hold is to fit them to become wives and
mothers. If this is done the question
of their marriage may be left to care
for itself If they should be welded
they will be qualified to make their
married life happy; If chance should de-
prive them of the blessed privilege of
taking charge of their own households
and caring for their own children, they
will nevertheless be cultivated women,
independent, self-reliant;- useful to
themselves and to others. No graces
or accomplishments without this skill
and training can make women any
thing better than toys, to be idled with
and cast aside when new ones are pre-
sented. - Baltimore Sam.

USEFUL ANiMALS.
The Kind of Horses and Cows Suitable
for the Average Farmer.

The Kind of Horses and Cows Suitable
for the Average Farmer.
The horse that can trot mile in 2:3O,
run in 1:5O, plow patiently in rough
ground and haul draught horse loads,
is still an ideal; for nature and art
combined have not yet succeeded in
producing him. Nature does not tend
toward the development of general
purpose animals, and when man tries
to improve on nature he can only effect
a compromise with her. A horse may
trot in three minutes, be a fair plow
horse, pull all he is able before load,
and perhaps be passably good under
the saddle, but the better he is in any
one of these respects the more deficient
will he be in the others, and there will
always be special-purpose animals that
will excel him in the performance
of any of his divers duties. But still,
the highest type of the farmer g
horse is perhaps the nearest ap-
proach to "general-purpose" animal
on earth. He must keep well
out of the dust when the farmer takes
his wife out airing behind him, plow
among stumps and stones, wit hout dis
playing any nervousness. pull honestly
in all sorts of places and upon occasion
carry rider on his back without en-
dangering his neck or jolting his liver
loose from its moorings. This is ex-
pecting a great deal of any one ami
NAL, and his owner has just reason to
feel proud of him. He is indeed
wonderful creation and we can bu
marvel that be acquits himself as we'll
as he does. But after all he is neither
a trotter, a draught horse nor sad
dler. but simply a "jack-at-all-trades, "
excelling at none. The horse that will
do the most things fairly well is the
one that the farmer wants, for usually
he can not afford to keep different
classes of animals best adapted to the
various kinds of work which he has for
them to do. The case of the cow is
quite different Her duties are linn
tied. .-....... ..... s..s. .....
1t is neither necessary nor wise to ex-
pect such diversity of gifts in her.
She is kept or should be for one of
three things, milk, butter or beef pro-
duction. As soon as we attempt to
combine any two of these qualifica-
tions we produce an animal that can
not excel in either. We may strike a
fair average, but can not expect to at
tain the highest results. Many dairy
men have leaning toward cow with
tendency to lay on flesh easily and
will put up with her Indifferent milk
ing qualities simply because she will
make good bunch of beef when past
her prime as milk producer. This is
about as sensible as for our great rae
ing stables to sell off their thorough
breds and lay in a stock of ''cold-
bloods" because their hides are thicker
and will weigh more pounds when the
animals are done with them and they
are put upon the market. The extra
money that the special purpose cow,
will bring her owner during the first
year of her usefulness will more than
pay for her carcass. Breed for beef or.
milk or butter, but don't try to COM
bine the three. 1t is kind of mixed
farming that does not pay.-Philadel

WORK ON THE FARM.
Where Brains Come In at the Door, Drudg'
cry Goes Out at the Window.


cry Goes Out at the Window.
The more brains you put into your
work the more you dignity and enno-
BILE it. Labor is drudgery when it is
purely mechanical, and it is well that
it is so, for the desire to escape drudg-
cry has stimulated invention to pro-
duce wonderful machines that now do
the work that formerly made human
slaves. If lack of brains on the part
of Grandfather Adam entailed the
curse of toll upon the human race, o
surplus of brains rightly used by his
descendants will remove that curse.
Inventions that make manual labor at
tractive are missionaries in the work of
moral advancement People cheat and
steal because it is deemed easier to get
money in that way than by honest toll
Make work of such nature that it
draws more upon the brains than upon
the muscles and you make it attractive.
Make it easier to be honest than to be
dishonest and even the de-
PRAYED are enticed into the straight
paths Of virtue. Inventions for
doing the work of the farm
expeditiously and easily are doing
more to keep the farmers boys at home
than any amount Of preaching or moral
suasion could ever accomplish. There
is absolutely less drudgery on a arightly
managed farm than there is in any line

The architect is G. r. Armitage and the

IErom the CharIOtte HarbOr Beacon.I
John Richards of our town tells us of q
huge manatee that was found up the Miakka
River in 1884. The fish or animal, had gone
up into creek which emptied into the riv-
or to feed Old the luxuriant moss that cover
ed it's banks, but the tide falling rapidly left
the manatee stranded on the bar, where he
persisted. Many of the people Of the vicinity
visited the spot to see the curiosity. 1t was
estimated to weigh between 800 and 1900
pounds. We can form some idea of it's size
when we know that it measured six feet across
the breast. John Richards, who discovered
IL, afterward saved the skeleton. He also says
that about one year ago he saw another msn-
atee at the end of Knights wharf, and is I'M

frequently in the bay, but being unusslly
timid animals, keep out of the sight of man.
