At the recent farmers, institute il
Albany, Dr., Heyamer, an expert
gardener otlong experience, now editor
Of the Agricu.turi,t, gave a grand talB
on the Farmers Garden Here are
some OF hi, good points; To the mind
OF the average farmers the garden Is d
nuisance and on most farms, this i.
true. \ small plot inclo-ed by a fence
or wall, too small TO do any Of the
work OF cultivation by horsepower,
the only work ever done there i, on
rainy days, when its too wet TO work

the field crops in the country is not
much above fifteen dollars per acre.
But who can begin to estimate the
value Of q good garden where all
variety Of fruits and vegetable are
grown And the home market of the
family table will take them all at
highest prices. To the old chestnut
OF so many farmers that the press of
more important work or the farm
makes it impossible for them to have
a good garden, the Doctor replied:
Take an acre Of your best land. and
devote it to garden purposes: plan the

tivator can be made to do most Of the
work, ana then hire a mar just to take
care OF the garden. Those Of its pro-

the sweetest relations Of life are rIr-

Il j. a mistaken idea to suppose thai,
the performance of household labor,
when necessary, or a knowledge Of it
in all positions is Incompatible with
culture, for no lady Of the highest ac-
accomplishments should feel tina, she he

prove treasures 10 their fortunate hu.-
bands, being formed on the model Of
an exemplary mother. and willuse the

of their own young families. which
was so successfully taught them under

The mistress of every family should
be capable of taking full su~perintend-
ence Of all household matters, and
should feel a pleasure in discharging
the duties pertaining to them. Every
department Of her domain, be it large
or small, should be arranged with
such system that perfect order will
prevail.
Housekeeping Is a fine art. and we
a not hope to hire those who will
bring the talent necessary to the artist
for the perfection Of the work. 1t is
only the mistress Of the house. guided
by a proper sense OF duty to her
family, that can bring the charm about
her home that springs from systematic
labor.
Many rules, and all of them excel.

Of housekeepers, and theTdtre few

theories as of happy homo making.
But, after a carefully study, they may
all be summed up in the simple plan Of

rules, If strictly adhered to and guided
by love, can not fail to make of every

FACTS o COUGHS,


Nature has provided for various
spasmodic efforts of an e|xpulsive
character, to rid organ, Of irritant
matter. The circuitous route to the
lungs through the nasal passages, is
always, in health, kept moist. to ar
rest dust and prevent its entrance into
the lungs. To guard against its accu-
mutation, the sneezing function is sup
piled, accompanied bya copious over
How OF serum to sweep away the irri-
tating matter.
The reflex action Of the stomach.
when irritated by offensive food or
poison, is Of the same character. The
cough is equally beneficial in its pro-
vision. Its principal object is the cx.
pulsion Of irritating matter from the
lungs, or air-tubes. The muscles OF
the CLOTHS, chest and abdomen com
bine in the spasmodic act. SensibiIity
to Irritating dust is confined TO a few
points of the nasal membrane. Sothc
se~nsibility which gives rise to a cough
is limited mainly to the larynX and
bronchial tubes, being strongest in the
larynx, and next in the upper portion
Of the bronchial tubes. As in sneez-
ing, the overflow Of serum aids in the
expulsion of the irritant, so a CORES
ponding increase of mucus co-acts
with the expulsive power of the
cough.
There are many kinds of coughs.
Through the network of the sympa-
thetic nervous system, disturbance at
remote points may affect the nerves
concerned in coughing. DR.. W. II.
Thompson, in a paper read before the
New York Medical Society, enumerates
a list OF over II dozen kinds of nom
expectorant coughs, each characterized
by a peculiar sound.
An e~xpectorant cough generally con-
slsts OF a number of successive coughs.
the sounds Of which are like that of n
chain passing over a pulley; the non
expectorant resembles rather the sep
arate sounds of a hammer.
One variety ofnon-expectorant cough
is due to simple irritation, without
secretion, of some part of the respira-
tory tract, as in some forms of bronchi-
It's; another to inlammatory irritation
of the pharynx a third to irritation
of the membrane which surrounds the
lungs and lines the chest. Another /.
malarial cough. sometimes mistaken
for whooping-cough, and durable BY
quinine.
A cough may also be the result OF
disorder of many other internal organs
the stomach, the liver, the brain, and
the ear.
From these facts it will be seen how
unwise it is, in case of Il cough. TO re.
sort blindly TO the druggist for some
patent cough mixture, which may not
be OF the slightest use in curing the
particular disorder, il, indeed, it is
good for use in any disease.-Youth's

PRESIDENT BARNARD.
AVIAN who Won = High Place by His High
Qualities.

Tba story Of President Barnard, o.
Columbia College, who retires after a
long life spent in the noblest labors'
furnishes one more proof that the cause
of mems veal or woe is not in their
stars, but in themselves.
Is there no such thing, then as good
luck? Oh. YES, and President Barnard
has had his share Of 1t; but the good
luck that is best worth having waits
until the right mar for it comes along
When the war broke out in 1861, he
was the honored President Of the Uni
versity of Mississippi, an institution OF
much promise, in which he was deeply
interested. and in whose service he eN-
pected to spend his life. 4 native OF
Massachusetts and a graduate OF Yale,
he had been for tw~enty-four years a
resident OF the South, always employed
in her colleges as professor or presi-
dent. and always enjoying, in a high
degree. the esteem and confidence Of
the communities in which he dwelt,
The guns that fired upon Sumter
emptied the University OF Mississippi of
all its students and most gifts teachers,
The president Of the institution, known
to be a Union man, was left, not mere
" without occupation, but without a
safe abiding-place, such was the frenzy
OF excitement that prevailed, and he
was strongly advised by his friends to
withdraw from the State until better
times. With much difficulty and some
danger he and his wife made their way
to Washington.
He was then ffty-two years of age,
and his possessions were chiefly of the
kind that a man slows away under his
hat and buttons up under his coat. He
had a head full of knowledge and a
heart full of goodness, but no great
amount OF money in his pocket. He
found employment in the Office OF the
Coast Survey, having a rare gift in
mathematics, and he set up his frugal
housekeeping in a house much of
which he could scarcely furnish.
Before the war closed he was chosen
President Of Columbia College, in the
city OF New York, an Office which he
has held with eminent success for twen-
ty-four years. 1t nader no difference his
being a stranger to almosteyery Nortl-
ern circle and ooterie. The native quail
tiles of the man appeared at once, and
his upward pathway was smoothed for
him by friendly hands.
