St. Valentines in I754.

A forward young miss in this year, or
thereabouts, contributed series OF essays,
and in one of them she thus refers to st.
Valentines day:
Last Friday was Valentines day, and the
night before got five bay leaves and pinned
four of them to the four corners of my pillow
and the fifth to the middle, and then il /
dreamed of my sweetheart, Betty said we
should be married before the year was out
But to make it more sure | boiled an egg
hard, and took out the yolk and filled it with
salt; and when went to bed ate it, shell and
all, without speaking or drinking after It,
We also wrote our lovers names upon bits of
paper and rolled them up in clay and put
them into water, and the first that rose up
was to be our valentine Would you think
it! MIR Blossom was my man. lay abed
and shut my eyes all tho morning till lie came
to our house, for would not have seea ien
other man before him for all the world" Il

Our Girls as Successful Women.

A wealthy women recently gave $780,
600 to establish a summer resort for
poor mothers and their children. God
bless her; this is only one instance
among thousands where woman has
conceived and executed grand ideas.
Women are rapidly entering every
branch of the useful arts and aspiring
to every money-making employment.
What shall we do with our girls?" is
no longer mighty problem for mothers
and fathers to solve. Some one has
said. " 1t takes a woman to set hen :"
and so it does. The most successful
poutry-raisers are women. We have
in mind woman who has for years
raised finer poultry and got more eggs
from her hens, at less expense, than her
male neighbors, practical men, too.
Let your girls engage in the poultry in
dustry, as many are doing. Give them
fair share of the profits, and they will
soon convince their fathers that girls
are mighty handy persons to have about
the old home. With the aid now Of
fered any person can make hens lay
even in cold weather. Out of twenty
four gold-coin premiums offered last
winter for best results One-third were
won by the women who used Sheridan's
Condition Powder to make hens lay.
For example, Mrs. Henry Baker, Hollis
ton, Mass, won $40 and got from
eighteen hens during the three months
trial 1859 eggs; Mrs. l.. j. Wilson,
Northboro, Mass, got 3 ,243 eggs from
100 hens; Mrs. Edwin Brown, East
Greenwich, r. l., from thirty-fve hens
got 2,454 eggs; Mrs. f. Barley Free
port, Penn, got 2,029 eggs from thirty
two hens; Miss Ada l.. Ross of Mount
Sterling, H., from fifteen hens got $50
eggs; and Miss Maggie Croushorn of
Ottobine, Va, got 1000 eggs from
thirty hens. Each of the last five ladies
also won $500 premium from |. S.
johnson & Co., % Custom-house street,
Boston, Mass. Every person who
sends this firm now S1.20 for can of
Powder, and desires it, can have his
name entered as competitor, if the
premiums are again offered. For fifty
cents they will send two Twenty-Five
cent packs of powder; for S100 five
packs postpaid; six cans for $500, eX-
press paid. A large can of powder, also
one years subscription to Farm Poultry,

closely by black marten and both black

MONKEY SKIN, which, strictly speak

for muffs and shoulder capes. The lat

collar of Persiana, lynx or seal.
MUFFs this season are sufficiently
large to admit both hands, yet not
sufficiently so to be clumsy in appear

The ends are finished in the French
fashion, the fur completely concealing
the lining, and are without ornaments.

place of hair, which renders them capa-

one week ago tonight dreamed
That Santa Claus had come;
He crammed my longest stocking
anu
A slim and shining flshlng-rod
He leaned against the wall,
And on the table laid box
pair of boots, a soldier cap
That looked so bright and blue,
He took from out the pack he wore;
And then he stroked his snow-white beard
And, turning toward my bed
He looked oh very, very stern
" You see the many gifts, my boy,
That l had planned for YOU"
And here he opened wide book
" think 1t was october first
All yes, have it here
The time you lost your Sunday hat;
" And some time in the month it was
Your kittens leg you tied
So tightly with your iishing-line

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The Star to-
night, referring to communication
which it was said President Salomon, of
'Hayti, made to this Government shortly
before his death, offering the United
States absolGte right to the harbor of the
Mole of San Nicholas, that we might
establish a cosling station, says the
proposition was still unacted upon when
Mr.. Blaine went into the State Depart
ment, and it is believed to have furn-
ished an incentive for his proposition to
send commission to Hsyti with view
to ascertaining whether or not Legitime
is disposed to give us the same conces-
sions. Salomon's reason, it is said, was
to effect close alliance with the United
States, in the hope of insuring stable
government in Hayti.
CHANCE FOR COMPLICATIONS WITH FRANCE.
A special dispatch to the Baltimore Sun
from this city, tonight, says; In diplo-
matte circles the impression is growing
that the United States and France are
making preparations for controversy
over a small island situated in the viciu-
itv of the Mole of San Nicholas, and
which is down on the naval charts as the
Great Inagus. A naval station on the
latter island has been the ambition of
this Government, it is said, for
many years. 1t would not only
give the United States a
position of vantage at the north entrance
to the Winward Pass, flowing between
Cuba and Hayti, but would enable our
Government to scrutinize all the COM
merce going through the pass to Panama
and beyond This most desirable loca-
ton for a naval station has not been
overlooked by France, with her interest
in the Panama Canal. and the French
Government has been figuring on outbid-
ding our Government for the purchase or
possession of it. When Solomon was ex-
PEELED from Hayti, France at once took
| advantage OF the situation and placed
Legitime under obligations to her, and at
the same time made tempting offer for
the island. Just now the situation is
very much complicated by the condition
of affairs in Hayti. It had been reported
that the anxiety of the Navy Department
TO have the work on the new ships
pushed, is due to the intention of having
a substantial naval squadron to accom-
pany commission to Hayti. Secretary
Tracy said, however. in reply to the
question, that the order to prepare ves-
sells for sea has relation to the foreign
service.
