The bear presently made sudden
squirt, closed up rapidly with the quar-

long coat. He caught a corner of it
full and fair, and thought he had his
enemy at last, but the cloth gave way

sounded quite like a swear word, he

it, the legislation Of the last session of

While cur supreme interests demand the

THE SURPLUS

The existence of so large an actual and
anticipated surplus should have the i'm
mediate attention Of Congress. with =
view Of reducing the receipts Of the
Treasury to the needs of the Govern
ment as closely as may be. The collec-
ton Of moneys not needed for public
uses imposes an unnecessary burden up
on our people, and the presence Of 50
large a surplus in the public vaults is
disturbing element in the conduct Of pri-
vate business. Il has called into use ex-
pedients for putting it into circulation Of
very questionable propriety. We should
not collect revenue for the purpose Of an

ME Palmer, as you can see by this model, is
almost classic in its outlines, and so is Ada
Rehan's. Both are exceptionally we l.
Formed, and are not tortured like some
stage feet know Of.
Variations in the feet the chiropo-
dist added, indicate differences of nation
atty and vocation rather than of individ-
ual traits. The earliest association OF the
idea of beauty with the feet is the familiar
declaration OF st. Paul. Beautiful are the
feet of those who preach the gospel Of
peace" rather startling statement, if
accepted literally. The only recorded
instance of such an Interpretation is that
of clergyman in the Baptist convention
OF Kentucky in the days before the war.
The brethren had beea annoyed by the
opportunities of an eccentric Individual
who believed himself called to preach the
gospel. The saying of St Paul was cited
by the minister, who then pointed to tia
feet of the applicant with the question:
Don't you know that you have the
largest and homeliest feet of any man in

The southern girl shines brightest at

respect that children should have for the
mothers who gave them life, and the grace
full affection in which she holds the gray
haired woman who kept brave heart amid
the horrors Of war and In the sickening
DAYS Of poverty and privation that followed
in its train, and, though she has had all
this to bear, has taught her young daugh-
ters lessons of self-help, of courage In mis-
fortune, that can never be effaced.

need TO be taught, for they were inherent.

EXERCISE FOR GIRLS.

Let the girls have outdoor exercise As
well as the boys. 1t is all nonsense to
make little girls sit still and sew for hours
at time, as many girls are compelled to
do. They should be out enjoying good
romp or frolic. No wonder boys as rule
are stronger than girls. They play ball,
cricket, leapfreg and kick the wicket AS
much as they wish. They use their mus
cies, they expand their lungs, they become
strong and robust, while their sisters sit
in close room, without ventilation, and
stitch and stitch. Or perhaps they may
take walk like lady" No wonder SO
many of them are pale and delicate. No
wonder they make frail, sickiy women.
Are they fit TO be the mothers Of our COM
ing generations? No wonder there are SO
many miserable creatures dragging wretch
ed, ailing bodies about If we want heal
thy, hearty men and women for the future
give your girls proper care. Mothers,
give your girls chance. See to their
physical growth in preference to their
mental. I'll trust an American girl to
learn fast enough when she wants to do so.

AUTUMN LEAVES.

An eminent botanist thus explains in For
est aud Stream why leaves change in color:
'sThe green matter in the tissue of leaf is
composed of two colors, red and blue.
When the sap ceases to flow in the Fall,
and the natural growth of the tree ceases,
oxidation of the tissue takes place. Under
certain conditions the green of the leaf
changes to red; under different conditions
1t takes on yellow or brown tint. This
difference in color is due to the difference in
combination of the original constituents
of the green tissue and to the varying
conditions Of climate, exposure and soil. A
dry, cold climate produces more brilliant
foliage than one that is damp and warm.
This is the reason that our American Aut-
umns are so much more gorgeous than
those of England. There are several
things about leaves that even science can
not explain. For instance, why one of
two trees growing side by side, of the
same age and having the same exposure,
should take on a brilliant red in the Fall.
and the other should turn yellow; or why
eolored aud the rest of the tree have only
yellow tint, are questions that are as
impossible TO answer as why one member
of a family should be perfectly healthy
and another sickly. Naples and oaks have
the brightest colors.s

CAN FARMERS AFFORD THE BEST.

Can the farm provide of its best for the
family table and also be profitably con-
Quoted on the surplus9 This is question
frequently asked, but rarely answered.
Too many farms are run on the principle
that the best of the produce must be mar
keted and the residue consumed at home.
1t is certainly false economy to feed frozen
or decayiug vegetables to either family or
live stock. If crop has suffered, the first
loss is the least; get the bad portions
quickly out of the way and guard another
year against like loss. On dairy farms
where the butter is made at home, no sec
ond grade of quality can be pardoned; the
competition is now so keen that only top
prices remunerate the dairy farmers; there
fore the family should have the best butter
made in the land. When poultry are bred
and fattened for market purposes the own
ers should literally feast on fat things. On
a poultry farm, lean chickens, starving
turkeys and fiabby ducks, together with
gaunt geese, should be unknown. When
Spring chickens are worth fifty cents per
pound and early ducks fetch twenty-five
and thirty cents per pound, fat capon
worth twenty cents per pound can grace
the home table. There is no wisdom in
meanness at home, and placing on the mar
ket an inferior article, because such is
more readily produced. A high standard
for everything produced makes home more
cheerful and swells the profit at the close
of the year. Good land well cultivated.
good stock well kept, and the farm home
literally supplied, tend in themselves to
enrich the farmer and to advance the wild
est interests in the community.
The Monitor., 1889-10-11

All cooks do not understand the different
effects produced by hard and soft water in
cooking meat and vegetables. Peas and
beans cooked in hard water, containing
lime or gypsum, will not boil tender, be-
cause these substances harden vegetable
easeine. Many vegetables, as onions. boil
nearly tasteless in soft water, because all
the favor is boiled ont The addition of
salt often checks this, as in the case OF
onions, causing the vegetables to retain
the peculiar flavoring principles, besides
such nutritious matter as might be lost in
soft water For extracting the juice of
meat to make broth or soup, soft water,
unsalted and cold at first, is the best, for
it much more readily penetrates the tissue;
but for boiling where the juices should be
retained, hard water or soft water saited
is preferable, and the meat should be put
in while the water is boiling, so as to seal
up the pores at once.
The Monitor., 1889-10-11

After the shadows of night have fallen
on the town? What is the character Of
his companions, what the condition Of his
haunts, and what the nature OF his prac-
tice? He is gathering knowledge and
forming habits. The father who does not
inquire into these matters needs surveil-
ance himself, and is an object that ought
to be conferred with for his own good.
Every fathers boy is so much material to
be moulded for good or evil purposes, in
which the community has deep interest.
As the twig is bent the tree is inclined.
The lad who is permitted to run loose at
night, unchecked in evil inclinations or
misdireeted by evil companions, soon be-
comes loafer or something worse. Re-
straining boy from evil is light work in
comparison to reforming man STEPPED in
pollution or made desperate by evil habits.
Where is your boy at night, neighbor?
What are your boys doing in the streets,
fellow citizens, after the lights are burn
ing at home? Look after them if you
value your own peace and have regard
for their future usefulness to themselves
and credit among men.
