Arnold's Views of America.

Mr. Matthew Arnold, an English literary
fellow, does not like America and Ameri-
can customs, and he has taken fifteen pages
in the Nineteenth Century to say 50. He
insinuates that our civilization is a failure.
Why does he think so Because he was not
altogether comfortable while he was
travelling in this country. He was
made to feel uncomfortable because
all luxuries, except oysters and ice, are
dear; because clubs are expensive, cab rates
prohibitve, and tailors' charges third
higher than in England. There are, he says,
a hundred other similar grievances he might
mention. He also attacks the climate and
the architecture. The one, ne SAYS, is harsh,
and the other possesses no beauty He
empties the vials of his wrath on the press,
and says it is noted for an absence of truth
and for a poverty Of serious interest, and
the news it gives is news for the servants
hall. He includes all American authors in
a contemptuous condemnation. Nothing in
this country interested him.
A good many of the newspapers think
that, coming from Mr. Arnold, this attack
will iniure America, but are they not mis-
taken! II will please Englishmen who dis
like America, but will hardly have any
other effect. 1t is too sweeping, too un
dignified and generally too incorrect to be
taken seriously. 1t stamps Mr.. Arnold as a
common scold, who boils over because
things are not managed in this country a.
he would have them, and because some OF
the newspaper comments upon himself were
not in accord with his idea of his owl
greatness. He has overshOt the mark, and
therefore. has wasted his ammunition

Some people kill themselves because
of their poverty, and others commit
suicide because they can't stand prosperity
There are great many people who cart
stand prosperity. The late Andrew Shelter,
of Philadelphia, was one of them. His
uncle left him SIS, 900 two years ago, and
last January another relative left him $25.-
600. This acquisition of wealth knocked
him off his balance, to the extent that he
gave himself up to the excuses which he
felt able to indulge, and a few days ago he
became so respondent that he took his life.
Congressman Knute Nelson, of Minnesota,
was born in Norway in 1913 and came to

old when lie landed. H. is now Ons o. the
richest men in Minnesota, and the district
he represents is said to be the larg 'st in ths
country. Ifall immigrants landing at Castle
Garden were men of tue stamp of Congress-
man Nelson, Uncle Sam couldn't throw
open the doors too wide to them.
Actor Barnay's managers are about to
turn the tables on him. Barnay threatened

managers threaten to sue Barnay for money

Some Simple Remedies.

For sore throat cut slices of fat,
homeless bacon, peppered thickly,
and tie around the throat with fan
mel cloth. When stung by bee or
wasp, make a paste of common earth
and water, put on the place at once
and cover with cloth. For cold
.op tie chest flannel rag rung out
in being water and sprinkled with
turpentine, laid on the chest, gives
the greatest relief. When a felon
first begins to make its appearance
take lemon, cut off one end, put the
finger in and the longer it is kept
there the better. For cough boil
one ounce of fax-seed in pint of
waetr, strain and add little honey,
one ounce of rock candy and juice of
three lemons; mix and boil well.
Drink as hot as possible. Often af-
ter cooking meal person will feel
tired and hayeno appetite. For this
beat raw egg until light, stir in a
little milk and sugar and season
with nutmeg. Drink half an hour
before eating. For burn or scald
make a paste of common baking soda
and water, apply at once and cover
with a linen cloth. When the skin
is broken apply the white of an egg
with feather; this gives instant re-
lief, as it keeps the air from the flesh.
-
At the first sign of runround take
a cup of wood ashes, put in a pan
with quart of cold water, put the
pan on the stove, put your finger in
the pan, keep it there until the wa
ter begins to boil, or as long as it
can be borne. Repeat once or twice
If necessary.

For a Child's Cold.

This being the season for hard
colds, I must tell you how 1 keep
them pretty well at bay. When a
child sneezes, saying he can't breathe
through his nose, I toast him at the
fire. Not only the feet, but the
spinal column, is well warmed. Then
he must persist in smelling from the
ammonia bottle till he has no difficult
ty in breathing, the ammonia having
penetrated the air passages, causing
more sneezing and copious catar-
rhal discharge. Then, before tuck
ing in warm bed, I give him from
three to five drops of camphor on a
little sugar, with all the water desir-
ed as a drink. / thought my ammon-
ia cure for cold was wholly origi-
nal till a friend told me of curing
her catarrh of several years stand
ing with its use, merely inhaling
very freely of it both night and
morning. Its pungent odor 1 have
found very beneficial when suffering
from an attack of tic-douloureux.-

Beware of These Thirteen Mistakes.
To Weld To immaferial t1iAes.

To yield to immaterial TRIES.
To look for. perfection III our own
actions.
To endeayor to mold all DISPOSE
tons alike
To expect uniformity Of opinion in
this world.
To measure the enjoyment of 9th
ers by our own.
To expect to be able to under
stand everything.
To believe only what our finite
minds can grasp.
To look forssiudgment and e1per-
fence in youth.
Not to make allowance for the in
frmities of others.
To worry ourselves and others
with that cannot be remedied.
To consider everything impossi-
BILE that we cannot perform.
Not to alleviate all that needs al
leviating as far as lies in our power.
1t is a grand mistake to set up
your own standard of right and
wrong and judge people accordingly.

Hints to Housekeepers.

Use a pallat knife to scrape pots
and kettles.A
Sweep and dust once a week the
rooms which do not dailyreceive this
attention.
Salt plentifully sprink1ed on the
icy doorstep will have a better and
cleaner effect than ashes.
A mass of cobweb pinched up in a
wad and pressed to a fresh cut will
stop the flow of blood instantly.
Remove fruit stains from white
goods by pouring boiling water di-
rectly from the kettle over the stains.
Keep your bread-pans and pie
dishes free from i'll flavor, by always
washing them in hot water after u.s.
ing.
To have poached eggs look very
nice, cook each egg in a muffin ring
placed in the bottom of sauce pan
of boiling water.
Dissolve box of pearline in two
quarts of hot water. Let 1t remain
over night undisturbed, and you will
have splendid soft soap.
To make corset feel comfortable,
lace up to fit the form neatly, then
sew five or six straps of gum ribbon

After buttering the tin for a boiled
pudding, dust it with pounded bread
crumbs, baking pans can be treated
with -four in the same way, and the
cake will never stick.
When fine feathers have been
strewn over the floor dampen the
carpet slightly: you can then get the
feathers together with light sweep
ing and take them up in a wad.
The gloss that the Chinese larn-
drymen give'to collars and cuffs is
not altogether due to the starch, but
to heavy pressure, the articles pass

F.. Care and Feeding of Dairy Stock.

To secure the best results from
dairy stock, certain requisites must
be provided and it is to these that I
will first call your attention.
The stable should be made as near
ly air tight as possible. Then pro-
vide ventilators to furnish the nee
essary amount of air. Remember
that with every shiver, there disap-
pears quantity of food from the
barn as well as some of themilk from
the COWS. An animal cannot use up
all its food in keeping warm, and at
the same time make milk. Milk is
from the surplus of the food, after
all the bodily wants and needs of the
animal are supplied. Whenever a
stream of cold air pours in upon the
cattle, or when they are miserable
and uncomfortable, astream of was
ted food pours out all the time
through the same opening. The
value ofsunshine is not appreciated.
If possible have your stalls in the
south side of the barn. Then put in
the windows close together, no matter
if they touch each other. Give the
sunshine passage, it does not cost
much, and it is great factor toward
bringing them out in good eondi-
ton as well as in making them hap
Ply all winter. Provide good tight
managers, and an even floor raised
slightly in front.
Next in Importance to the stable,
is the water supply, The water
furnished stock should be absolute
ly pure. Don't try to filter impure
water through COW in the expecta-
ton of getting good milk. 1t is
neither good for the COW nor for the
persons using the milk. If posi-
bic have your watering troughs in
the barn or in an adjacent shed.
Don oblige your stock to go out Ill
the cold months to drink. Cattle
viii 10 better kept in the BAN from
November Both TO April 1st, than
they would if allowed an hour out
doors each da,. On bright pleasant
days an hours exercise might do
them good, but OF q majority Of
days the past winter this time out
doors would be detrimental; rather
than beneficial.
1t pays to warm water for stock.
Experiments in France, from those
eating the same food, show that a
COW supplied with water at tenn
perature of 113 degrees, will give
one-third more milk than one drink
ing cold water. If the same is true
here, it will pay all farmers keeping
twenty head of stock to buy boil
er and while they are about it they
might as well get an engine too. By
using the former, the water can be
warmed for the stock, the feed
steamed and the barn and chicken
house warmed, while the latter will
cut the feed, saw wood, thrash,
pump water, etc.

The kind of sheep to keep de-
pends on the soil and pasturage.
The Southdown is the best breed to
cross with the native ewes that are
made to forage great portion of the
time. Merinos do better in large
focks than do the heavy mutton
sheep. Heavy breeds can not range
as easily as the small sheep, and
therefore require more attention.
Using the improved breeds for cross
ing means that larger allowance of
food must be given if success is ex-
pected.

It is important to see that the
houses where fowls are confined
from the frigidity of winter are well
ventilated. No matter how limited
may be the number of birds thus
confined, a poisonous gas will quick
ly form, and if there can be no chance
for it to escape freely, sickness or
death soon ensues to the inmates
that are compelled to breath the foul
air. In cold weather, during the
middle of each day, the fowl-house
should be thoroughly ventilated.
