Some Objectionable Ways Of Our Pretty
Young Damsels.

Some Objectionable Ways of Our Pretty
Young Damsels.
The young women OF the period have, ac-
cording to Harper's Bazaar, one or two ways
of their own which are more or less to be re-
GREETED, and which it would be well for them
to look to and correct while they may, since
once established no habit is easily TO be over
come.
One of these Objectionable ways Of our
pretty damsels is habit they have in travel.
ing-and one which could have hardly ex-
isted before the days Of railways, as stage
coach authorities would never have winked
at it-of taking not only the whole Of a seat
in the car, but of turning over the next seat
and taking the whole Of that, whether for
parcels or for the fair travellers feet-a Gus
tom very observable in the frequent suburban
trains
To the authority already quoted it would
seem unnecessary TO remind these young
ladies that only a single seat was paid for by
each of them and that therefore no more
should in decency be occupied by them, on
that score alone But not only do they take
the space that does not belong to them, but
IL another traveller comes along, looking for
4 seat, no motion Of withdrawal from the
usurpation is made; the newcomer has to ask
II the place is occupied, and instead Of a
pleasant answer or reassuring, not to say
welcoming, smile, receives grudging mega
tive or else no reply at all in
words, but in their place a frown
and an angry sweeping aside of the parcels
As for the feet upon the opposite seat when
it has been turned over, it goes without say
ing that lady, young or old, must be eI-
ceedingly i'll or weary and in a much greater
degree than ordinary railway travel sees, in
order to justify her in lifting her feet into
any such position.

Curtains for Country Homes,

For country house white or dotted mus
lin or madras furnishes pretty and appro-
pirate curtains. They should be quite full,
hemmed and hung by rings TO rod across
the top of the window and caught back on
either side with ribbon. When even cheaper
materials than those mentioned are desired,
cheese cloth affords curtains that may be
made quite attractive 10y tying back with

Sunlight is recognized as an important aid
in recovery from sickness. Unless sleep is
required in the daytime, as much light and
sunshine as the patient can bear agrecably
should be admitted into the room; not the

To Keep Chinch Bugs from Corn Field

A great many remedies and preventives
against chinch bugs have been suggested
and published from time to time, the
most of them emanating from good au-
thorities, but very generally 80 difficult
and impracticable in their application as
to be Of little general use. In their mi.
grafton from one field to another, at the
time they first appear on the side Of q
field of corn and before they have entered
It, cut FIVE or six rows Of the corn and
clear the ground, then plow strip Of
land eight or ten feet wide, leaving deep
furrow in the center of the strip, with
the perpendicular side Of the furrow to-
ward the field to be protected. Into this
the bugs will fall, where straw may be
thrown on them and burned Or the fur
row may be covered with some of the
stalks that have been cut while they were
green, by laying them across it, when the
bugs will crawl under them into the fur
row and remain there in the shade long
enough for the stalks to dry and be
burned.

is rarely fatal unless the patient has disease

ton is most pernicious when it is hereditary.
Consumptive patients, who lose flesh aud
color and appetite, with but little signs OF

those who have marked local symptoms,
but whose appetite and nutrition are good.
II is rare for hemorrhage from either the
lungs or the stomach to be Immediately fatal,
except it proceed from aneurism.
Chronic diseases OF the spinal cord are
more likely to end favorably In women than
in men. Malignant tunors are more.rapidly
fatal in the young than in the old. Cancers
in the aged are exceedingly slow in their
process, and may even, in rare cases, atrophy.
Stone in the kidney may frequently be cured
without operation. The opposite Is true OF
stone in the bladder. Diabetes Is rapidly
fatal when II occurs in young men, more
curabletn middle life, and Of little danger
in later years. Diarrhea is dangerous only
in infants and In persons above 90 years OF
age.

Keep Farm Records.

Every farmer is to great extent q
manufacturer, and ought to keep a record
of his operations. This is the key to
success in any business. But the soil
tiller should attend to some other matters
in connection with his accounts. a map
of his farm, with each field numbered,
and its size, quality of soil, etc., specified,
will be great aid in keeping track OF
the years transactions. How many
farmers have such q guide and conven-
ience9 And how many kept such MEM
oranda in 1887 as will enable them to
tell the expense ofeach crop grown? And
how about the domestic animals? If
you keep COWS, what have they paid you
per head in the aggregate? And what
of the sheep, swine, and even the chick
ems? How much did each aggregate to
your income, and what was the most
proftableY
Those who can answer these pertinent
questions must be we'll advised in regard
70 their financial position, and need no
admonition; but we fear many are una
BILE to give any detailed account of their
farming operations, or whether the
balance is on the right or the wrong side
of the ledger. It is needless to say that
such management would soon wreck
almost any commercial enterprise, and
hence the frequent complaint that "farm-
ing don't pay" is not surprising What
we write is intended to be suggestive
rather than admonitory. Keep an accu-
rate account of your doings, and you will
not be wiser, but ere long richer in con-
sequence. In fact, resolve that you will
know how you stand at the close of 1883,
whoever may in the meantime have been
elected President of the Republic or
Governor of your Commonwealth-D'D d.

A Costly Dish Of Baked Beans.

One day not long since well.known
citizen of one of the busiest towns in
sagadahoc County returned from drive
into the country, late in the afternoon,
with $500, the proceeds of his days COL
lection, in his inside pocket. he was
too late to deposit the money in the viii
lage bank, for the bank had closed. he
went to his house and began to cudgel
his brain for safe place to put the cash
during the night. He had a great horror
of burglars, and felt little nervous
about his $500. The gentleman roamed
over the house, and finally dropped into
the kitchen. The fire in the kitchen
stove was out. His wife was away, and
wouldn't return till late in the evening,
and, of course, wouldn't think Of build
ing a FIRE in the stove till the following
morning. he opened the oven door and
laid the greenbacks in the farthest corner
of the bottom of the oven.
The capitalist went to bed, and at
about 10 o'clock in the evening bis wife
awoke him to ask if he wouldu'tgo down
in the cellar and bring up another hod
of coal. She said /: "I've just built up a
hot fire and put the beans in, but l
don't believe there is enough coal on the
fire to keep it all night"
"Have you built fire in the kitchen
stove ?" shouted the sagadahoc husband.
"Wby, yes; inst that all right?" said
his wife.
Gall right! That pot of beans cost me
$780," shouted the capitalist, and he
leaped from the room and down into the
kitchen where the savory odor of baked
beans and brown bread and roaring
FIRE in the kitchen stove greeted him
he pulled open the oven door, regardless
of burnt fingers, but he was too late.

Wealth In Poultry.

Poultry interests for farmers rest upon
a solid basis. Why? Because the egg
and flesh are in demand and will con-
tinue to be in demand 80 long as people
eat I; and this demand will increase as
population increases, and as the habit of
eating pork decreases; which is the case
with the most intelligent of the people.
Then there are many other uses for eggs
besides eating them. The United States
has been importing eggs for years, each
year increasing the number. According
to statistics we imported 4,sO8,771
dozens Of eggs valued at s6S0,Ss3 in
1876. In 1885 we imported 16,094, ,45O
dozens valued at 81, ,476, ,672, being nearly
four times AZ much in 1885 as in 1876.
Now, while our population has in.
creased about twenty.four per cent, the
importation of eggs has increased nearly
400 per cent. In the meantime cur own
production of eggs has increased wonder
fully, but not enough to supply the
home demand. Now, 80 long as the con.
sumption of eggs increases twenty five
times faster than the population, how
soon will we be able to supply the home
demaud3 We may some time, but it
will be long time.
Another factor which will increase the
demand for poultry flesh neees to be con:
sidered. The great cattle kings of the
west will never in the future supply 80
much meat as in the past, and as poultry
can be raised on less range, I predict
that it will become as common upon the
tables of those who use meat as beef,
taking the place Of beef. 1t requires but
a few weeks to raise poultry ready for
table, which is another advantage over
cattle and hog raising.
Taking all things into consideration
all farmers should be encouraged to pre-:
pare for raising poultry on large scale.
There is but small portion of the year
that they must be deprived of the full
range of the farm, and so have before
urged, the orchard can be closed to shut
them out of mischief at seeding time

Masculine Economy.

There lived, not very many years ago,
q short distance from the town of Beaver,

young bride just now in her boudoir of
green hills, a man of extraordinary
meanness. I don't think it would be

One day as he was starting out for
Beaver to do his weekly shopping-for
even he had to buy something for the
support of his family-his wife came out
and asked him to buy her darning
needle.

"I'm not going tU allow any such
extravaganza. I'll have the needle

The woman was wise, and made no
protest. She brought out the broken
needle.
The economical farmer rode into
Beaver and stopped first of all at the
blacksmith's shop. He took out the
needle and handed it to the blacksmith.
"I want that mended,' he said.
The blacksmith knew his customer, and
keeping lis face perfectly straight said
that the eye should be made whole in aa
houf's time. The farmer rode away, and
the blacksmith walked across the street
and bought.a needle for cent or two.
When the farmer called again the
blacksmith gave him the new needle

"How much will it %" said he.

he knew the needle could be mended
but his wife would have gone to the
expense of buying new one ifhe hadn't
interfered.

South Carolina and Tea Culture.

Ex.United States Commissioner of
Agriculture William G. LeDuc, whose
great interest in introducing the culture
of the tea plant in the South will be
remembered, is now located at Hastings,
Minnesota. He has lately written letter
to Commissioner Butler, from which it is
evident that Mr.. LeDuc has by no means
lost interest in his pet scheme with his
loss ofoffice.
The following is an extract from the
letter in question:
II have been looking for some notice
of an effort to establish tea cultivation in
the State, hoping you might have taken
up the experimental tea farm at Summer
vile, which was unwisely dropped by
my successor in Office. You can make
tea in South Carolina better and
cheaper than they make IL in India.
The tea had made from leaves grown
in South Carolina was pronounced by
New York brokers. India tea, of high
grade, made in the Province of Assam,
and samples of the same sent to London
brought offers of the very highest price,
fifty to sixty cents pound. These same
teas, was assured by the man who made
them, and who was tea superintendent
for years in India, could be made in
South Carolina and Georgia for from 16
to % cents per pound.
"Iu what way could you better advance
the interest of your State and of the
entire South than by establishing new
industry of fequal Importance with cotton
raising?"

There is no reason why a long programme
of work should be carried through at all

arranged for some kind of work, one
hour at least ought to be set apart for
recreation, and that hour, of all others,
rigidly be observed. The housekeepers
who ar facing so much superauous work
every day never think of doing such q
thing as reading a daily newspaper or
gathering information that will enable
them to improve the quality of the work.
They do not know what is taking place
in the world, of which they are so small
part. They like to listen to other
peoples tales, but never think Of inform
ing themselves by reading or observa-
ton. The children ask questions that
any one would be supposed to be able to
answer, and are sent to somebody else for
reply, or put off with no satisfaction at
all. They soon come to the conclusion
that mother isn't supposed to know any

Sam Jones'.

During the meeting at Rome, Georgia.
Sam Jones preached some very effective
sermons and as usual large crowds went
to hear him. The following are some of
his pithy sentences taken from one of his
sermon:
Justification satisfies a man with God,
and sanctiacstion satisfies man with
himself.
believe every man, saint and sinner,
ought to live up to the level of his con-,
science. That's the best way get along
with yourself.
believe ifF was going to build q
Christian character I would begin this
way; High up over all I would put Law,
then right under Law conscience; and
right under will I'd put the affections.
Now you have got man.
Ifthere's anything fellow don't like,
is's for you to make proposition that
fits him. Ibelieve our Christian life is
just exactly to our spiritual life what
our bread and meat is to our temporal
life:
Some folks standard of religion is
measured by their church. ''If I am as
big as anybody in the church I am all
right" Measuring ourselves with our.
selves and among. ourselves.
believe in life, and Christianity is
the science of life. Whenever you want
to see live man hunt up thorough
Christian. He's the livest man you ever
saw in your life. As I've said many a
time, if this solemn, sad, melancholy
something that some folks have got is
religion, of course I want religion before
die, but just want it half q minute
before I die; I don't want to tote it
around with me. How sorry I am for
these fellows.
Some folks are the happiest they ever
are in the world, when they get into a
carriage and are going to the cemetery.
I reckon its affinity that controls these
fellows. They feel more at home among
the dead than anywhere else in the
world.
Stagnation, as I have said many
time, is the next station to damnation,
and when fellow gets to stagnation
then his baggage is checked through to
damnation.
The truth of the business is, we don't
want any lines at all, all we want is
lash.
God help us this morning TO stand up
as bulwark witnesses of the truth Of every
word of God and every word of the scrip
lures.
