How Beauty Fades.

When woman begins to show her
age, the first part to lose its firm,
youthful contour is the face and chin,
then the neck and bust, and no amount
of alum-water washes nor "astringent
pomades" will restore firmness to the
Habby muscles, and it then becomes
necessary to look about for some other
beauty that nature spared little
longer, and the upper part of the
arms and the back keep their white
ness and delicacy long after the rest
of the woman is passed. For that rea-
son was V-shaped back invented, and
therefore were sleeveless waists made
which leave the arm exposed up
above the shoulder. Long gloves hide
many u wrinkled hand and withered
forearm, and the modestly high front
OF the waist wells the faded bust, while
the black velvet ribbon tied tightly
around the throat retains the loose
flesh in it's snug embrace. while it
whitens the rest of the neck by contrast,
and it also sustains the baggy double
chin, together with the wrinkle an
nihilator,' which is made of alum and
parafiine and a little sweet almond oil.

VALUE OF DRAINAGE.
How Land Is Beautified by Thorough and
Practical Undertaking.

Practical Undertaking.
There are hundreds of acres sOwed
to oats and planted to corn every
spring, that are spoiled in the cultiva-
tion because the land is too wet to till
to good advantage; yet it is the best
that can be done under the circum-
stances. You must go on whenever it
is possible for the team to travel across
it, or the field sowed in such a manner,
put in when the ground is so soft that
the harrow does not fill up the horse
tracks, then followed by hot sun that
bakes a hard crust on the surface
through which the air can not circulate
freely. Indeed, when we consider the
unfavorable conditions the plants have
to contend with, it is surprising that
we get the crops we do. Then let us
look at Il field that has been properly
drained. The low spots are dry and
fit to work us soon as the knolls. You
can get on to work it easier and in
better shape; the surplus water in
stead of lying on the surface until
it evaporates, leaving the ground
baked and the oats in II very siclSly
condition, goes through the earth to
the channel provided for it, thus
making innumerable little passages
through which the air can penetrate
and sweeten the soil. The drained
land absorbs more heat from the sun;
plants get the benefit of this heat and
air; are healthier; grow better, and
therefore give larger yields, and us u
rule the growing season is considerably
heightened. This one advantage of
getting oats sowed early, often makes
all the difference between Il poor and
good crop.
Another important point In favor of
tile draining, in my opinion, is the
greater benefit we derive from the ma
nure applied, us compared with wet
land not drained. II is the plan OF
most farmers in this locality to haul out
the manure IN the winter and early
spring and spread it on the fields in
tended for corn. After the ground
thaws out and before the manure is
turned under, we generally have some
heavy rains, and am sure every OBJ
serving farmer must have noticed ION
wet lands) the streams of liquid ma
nure running down the burrows seeking
their way to the nearest water course,
because the ground was full of water
and there was no other alternative, In
the case of the tiled land the water
level is always on level with the tiles,
consequently when the manure is spread
ON the surface, that which the rain
washes out and carries with it, must be
nearly all left in the earth as the water
filters through to reach the drains,-

General Sheridan's Horses.

Gallant Phil Sheridan during the war
rode four horses. or these the one
which Buchanan Read immortalized
will live longest in memory OF man
kind. The animal was large black
gelding with three white feet, which
was presented him at Rienzi, Miss, by
the officers Of the Second Michigan
cavalry, Of which he was Colonel. 1t
was originally named Rienzi, but after
the famous twenty-mile ride the animal
was re-christened Winchester, and
thencelorth bore that honored name. 1t
was his favorite saddle horse, and par
took more of Sheridan's spirit than any
he ever bestrode. He chose it to use in
battle, for the horse knew as well as his
master what was required Of him. and
never finched at danger or faltered in
fatigue. Several times he was wound
ed, having received a bullet in each OF
his fore-shoulders and was badly torn
under the heunches by the explosion of
a shell. This horse was ridden in the
famous raid around Richmond and was
in the fight at Yellow Tavern, where
Jeb Stuart fell. He was in the battle
at Five Forks and carried Sheridan to
Appomattox on the day Of the sur
render.-PHtsbnrgh Commercial.

Society at an Army Post.

One of the Irish laundresses at q
Western post was evidently infatuated
with army life, as she was the widow
Of volunteer officer, and therefore
drew pension-a fact which proves
that money could not have been the
inducement that brought her back to o
frontier post.
At one time she forsook her fasci-
mating clothes-line, and went into the
family Of an officer to cook, but was
obliged to leave from illness. Her
place was satisfactorily filed, and
when she recovered and came back to
the officers wife, she was told that the
present cook had been engaged to re-
main, but that she might find place
with the wife Of another officer.

LOST HUSBANDS FOUND.
Rip Van Winkle and Enoch Arden Turn UI
Together III France.

Rip Van Winkle and EnOch Arden Turn Up
Together III France.
The heroes of the best-known Ameri-
can legend and one of our most pathetic
English poems-Rip Van Wrinkle and
Enoch hArden-have turned up together
in France. Two French soldiers have
come back from Germany to the aston
ishment of their families, who believed
them to be dead. They were taken pris-
eners in 1870, and in the course of their
captivity they committed serious as
saults on Prussian soldiers who were set
over them. For these offenses they were
sentenced to long terms of incarcera-
ton in fortresses, and were not allowed
to communicate with their friends.
Nor when peace came In 1871 were
they included in the prisoners of war
released. On the accession of the En-
peror Frederick an amnesty was pre-
pared, and it included the Frenchmen,
who straightway set out on their return
to France. They reached Issoudun,
their native town, to see several
changes. One found his wife married
a second time and the mother of many
children. The other had left his wife
in 1870 on ths eve of her confinement.
and returned to find u son of eighteen,
whom he had never seen, and who had
been married some months. 1t is easy
to conceive the confusion of fact and of
feeling that must arise in such cases.
Rip Van Wrinkle in the story discovers
that in his long absence he has expiated
his old offenses, and his wife prefers
her first husband, good-humored, good
for-nothing that he was, to her hard
grasping, selfish second mate. Enoch
Arden, with noble yet piteous self
denial, refuses to make himself known.
Few readers can forget the lines in
which Tennyson depicts his feelings as
he looks upon his lost home. The long
lost Frenchmen had not the opportunity
perhaps not the inclination-to ex-
ercise similar heroism. Their return
was announced before they appeared,
and the whole village, as well as their
wives, had heard of their long-captivity
and unexpected arrival. The situation
Is. certainly complicated, and it is i'm
possible to anticipate the denoue-
ment. Will the second husband quietly
surrender his acquired but illegal
rights, or will the soldier, who was u
married bachelor for eighteen years,
prefer to remain practically unwedp-

THE CUCKOO CLOCK.
Revival of the Demand for Curious an
!, Old-Fashi0ned Time-Pleces.

Revival of the Demnnd for Curious and
y, Old-FashiOned Time-Pleces.
A book agent: "There seems to me
to be quite revival in the demand for
cuckoo clocks. In the days of our
grandmothers these were very common,
and then for number of years they
became quite scarce. I notice now,
however, in my rounds through the
country, that nearly every second or
third house 1 go into has cuckoo
clock. al,. 2s
"The cuckoo clocks that remember
to have seen in my childhood, were
generally regarded as poor time-pieces,
for they had wooden movements which,
of course, soon wore out; but those
which notice about the country now
adays are excellent clocks with good
metal movements. i, Y-
'By the way, talking of cuckoo
clocks reminds me of II story used to
hear my grandfather tell about them.
At the close of the last century I'm as
sortment of these clocks was taken out
by the missionarieA to the Friendly
Islands. The native chiefs who re-
ceived these gifts gazed upon the primi-
tive cuckoo's performance with mex
pressible awe. They looked on the
mysterious bird as a spy on their ac-
tions, and did not care to do any thing
within its supposed range of vision
which they did not wish the missions
ries to know of.
An old islander, being i'll, requested
the good offices of missionary and
the loan of his cuckoo clock. The sick
man believed that the medicine pre-
scribed by the first would be all tho
more effective for the potential magic
which, as ne believed, was exercised
by the cuckoo.
"One chief, of an inquiring turn OF
mind, sought to get at the heart of the
mystery, and took clock, cuckoo and
their respective machinery to pieces in
order to discover the secret. Having
failed to find it, and being equally un-
successful in his attempts to put the
time-teller into working order again,
he applied to the missionaries to help
him; but they knew nothing of clock
making, and the thing remained WORTH
less, silent object eliciting the con-
tempt OF those who had taken it for an
oracle and had trembled in presence OF
an imaginary power that had no share
