MANAGING CHILDREN.
why They Should at All Times BE oivei
Somethtng to Do.

SometutHV 10 10.
An important point in managing
children is to always have ready some
thing for the little hand, to do at those
times which come quite often on rainy
and other days when, tired OF play.
they listlessly gaze through the
window or wander aimlessly about,
not knowing what to do with them
selves. Children at such times are
great trial to the busy and often nerv-
GUS people of the house. and are quite
likely to be scoded, though such
course is SO unwise and unjust that 1t
can lead only to the worst results in
the child's future. Calm and reprov-
ing words, kindly spoken, are neces-
sary with all bright children and are
usually very effective, but words ut
tered in sharp, scoding tone must in
most cases work an injury to the child's
disposition. 1t is all the more sad. be-
cause the matter could be SO easily
managed by very little attention on
the mothers part.
How often we hear mothers or older
sisters say to some little child who is
full of desire to do right if it only
knew how: "Do get something to do;
how lazy you are; never saw such n
good-for-nothing child. | am sure i
don't know what is to become of you,"
and great deal more OF such talk,
which, alas, most people have heard
too often. The child at such times is
not in fault. 1t is the mothers duty to
see that suitable work Is always ready,
and she should require the child to do
q moderate task for which she should
not be afraid to give due measure of
praise after it is done. Always be care
full to see that the child is not kept too
long at one task as such course would
be worse than idleness.
1t is worthy of note that the work
given to child has great influence
in molding the mind and taste. A child
kept always at knitting stockings or
cutting carpet-rags will be very prac
tical, perhaps too much so. A wise
mother will have variety OF work,
both useful and ornamental. Some
parents think it useless to teach boys
to sew or knit. 1t is not, however, for
there are many times in boys life
when such knowledge may be useful.
/ have often observed that many col
lege boys could mend their own clothes
while they were quite up in their
classes. / think the subject should be +
considered by parents.
seeing to it that time should never
hang on their children's hands for
want of something to do. american

FACTS FOR FARMERS.

Neglect Of "salting the COWS" pre-
vents good butter, good cheese and
good milk.
The rutabaga has been recommend
ed for cattle food these seventy years,
aud over fifty tons OF that tuber may
be grown per acre.
The smaller potatoes can be util-
lied by boiling them for stock. They
are as valuable for that purpose rs the
larger ones.
The ducks commonly found in this
country under the name of Pekin are
not of that breed at all, but are much
smaller. They are the White Ayles-
qury. The PelSin is royal-looking
bird, nearing u goose in size.-7hc
Cdckler.
The american CuNiuator advises
against thinning forests by the annual
removal of wood as needed, and in
favor of making an entire clearing each
year, and then either replanting with
valuable timber or using the cleared
land for other purposes.
If the hogs are not accustomed to
having all the salt they desire, they
should be brought to full supply as
soon as possible when fed new corn.
1t should be rule to keep it by them
all the time. Ashes, charcoal and
bituminous coal will be beneficial, al
lowing them free access to it,
Pure water is essential to health.
Diphtheria, dysentery, typhoid fever,
cholera are very often caused by dis
ease germs in drinking water. Wells
should be at least one hundred feet
from manure heaps, the terminus OF
kitchen drains and every deposit Of
foul matter. Rain water, properly
filtered, is the best drinking water
~ Y. Tribune.
The peach does best on its own
stock in light. rich, warm soil and in
a warm climate, moderately free from
winds. At time of planting the tree
should not be more than a year old.
Some prefer to plant dormant buds,
others want seedlings, where the trees
are to bud to the varieties wanted the
following year. 1t is certain that seed
ling peaches are surer to live and do
we'll,
The farming of the future must be
gradually contracted in the number Of
acres, Less hard work over broad
fields and closer attention to special
paying crops on the fields that sur
round the house More pasture, more
stock and plenty of ensilage, this in-
sures the purchase of less commercial
fertilizer and the very best results
from the contents of the barn-yard.
TO cure gapes, put the chickens in
a box, tie piece of coarse sacking or
cheese cloth over the top, spread some
fine air-slacked lime on the cloth, and
then jar it so that the fine lime will sift |
down among the chicks. The lime in
hailed by the chicks affects the cape
worms so that their hold on the wind |
pipe is loosened, aud also causes the |
chicks to sneeze and cough, and throw
up the worms.

THE suLrAN.s COURT. =
How Abdul Hamid Lost the Respect OF His
Partlsans and People.


Partisans and People.
Round the Sultan moves little world
OF marshals, chamberlains, secretaries,
dragomans and eunuchs, who interfere
in all matters of state. The principle
which guides His Majesty in the selec-
ton Of these officials may be guessed
from the mixture of slavish hattery OF
his mental abilities and insolent trad
ing on his weaknesses which alone en-
ables them to maintain their posts and
influence. All OF them have ups and
downs of favoritism; but among them
there are invariably two or three sufii-
ciently strong TO get the most i'm
portant measures blocked for weeks II
it suits their purpose, and not unfre-
quently rejected entirely, even though
unanimously recommended by the cabi-
net, the members of which have grad
ually sunk into mere heads of depart
ments. Witness the recall of the AM
bassador from Rome without the
knowledge of either the Grand Vizier
or Foreign Minister, and an order for
torpedo boats kept secret from the
admiralty. Against the power of this
secret council it is futile to struggle,
and people dealing with the Govern
ment and palace must accept things as
they are, and pay court to the para
sites, who rapidly acquire wealth by
turning their influence to the worst
account. OF the Sultan's nervousness,
that tremendous lever in designing
hands. enough has been written to the
English journals, where every body
has read of the fortified seraglio and
and the mosque built at its
gates; of the elaborate precautions
against imaginary conspiracies, and
of the host of INSCRIPTIONS spies. To
his fears and indulgence in costly fol-
lies Abdul Hamid owes the loss Of his
peoples respect and much of the lad
luck which is dogging his footsteps.
At heart he means we'll, and is proba-
bly, unconscious that his selfish whims
and fancies are always allowed to out
weigh the good of the nation, but the
effect is nevertheless deplorable. He
enormously believes himself to be a
reformer, though he may fairly claim
to be an innovator. Pious he is, and
sober. uxorious also, and squeamishly
merciful toward non-political Offend
ers. He will not sanction the death of
the vilest murderer, quite forgetting
that, especially in Turkey, leniency to
criminals entails misery on the law
abiding. Music is his greatest pleas
ure, though he does not despise
conjuring tricks and puppet-dancing.
But, to do him justice, these are the re-
laxations, not the business, of life,
which is to plot and scheme and labor
to restore the caliphate to its ancient
splendor, and the Ottoman empire to
the ranks of the leading powers Ever
dreaming, never acting. Abdul Hamid
loiters in his chatedur en- ESpagne, hug
ging himself in the illusion that he is
a mighty monarch and spinning, with
the aid of soothsayers and toadies, in
cobwebs of future triumphs.
while the country over which he yet
rules is reeling to its foundations, and
threatens to overwhelm him and his
projects in common ruin.

PLANTING WIND BREAKS.
The Most Important Rules Which Shoul
Govern This Work.

Tho Most Important Rules Which Should
Govern This Work.
The influence OF the wind break is
local and almost entirely mechanical.
1t prevents the fierce sweep OF winds
over the surface of the ground. and
therefore tends to diminish evapora-
tion from the soil and from plants,
especially in cold weather, and to
lessen the mechanical injury to trees
and bush fruits. II is apparent to all
good observers, however, that wind
breaks are sometimes injurious.
Therefore there must be certain rules
to govern their planting. The most
important OF these rules may be briefly
stated:
/. The wind break should not OBJ
struct atmospheric drainage. Cold air
is heavier than warm air, and it there
fore settles into the lower areas. Ele-
waited areas are consequently warmer
than low ones in still weather. Inas-
much as these high lands are more
wind-swept than others, it has be-
come common impression that the
wind itself is in some manner pro-
lection to fruit plantations, where
as the protection really comes
from atmospheric drainage. The wind
break upon most of the elevated areas,
therefore, should be open enough to
allow of the free drainage Of air. In
such localities tight wall of ever
greens is apt to be positively injurious.
Deciduous trees, with, perhaps, a sparse
admixture OF evergreens, make the
better wind breaks for such places. 1t
should be borne in mind that the OBJ
ject is not to stop the wind, but rather
TO break its force-to check it. Break
waters are often made of network of
naked spiles rather than solid wall.
In many interior localities dense
wind break on the north and west ex-
cites an early growth of tender fruits,
thereby increasing danger from late
spring frosts. Hence:
2. The wind break should never be
dense enough to force the buds on fruit
trees in those localities which are sub
ject to late spring frosts. 1t is evident,
therefore, that spruces and other ever
greens should be planted sparingly in
such places, and that deciduous trees,
which do not come early into leaf,
should be chosen.
One Of the most disastrous effects OF
winds in the orchard, and especially In
small fruit plantations, is the sweep
ing of the surface of the ground, caus-
ing excessive evaporation, carrying off
the snow and thereby exposing the
roots and crowns of the plants to dam
ger. Therefore:
8. AS rule, in localities where at
mospheric drainage will not be serious
ly checked, the wind break should
have q comparatively dense bottom,
formed by underground or low branch
ing trees.
All crops closely adjoining the wind
break suffer from lack of moisture and
food supply, and many small plants, as
bush fruits and nursery stock, are
broken by the accommodating snow.
Hence:
A. So far as practicable the wind
break should be planted at distance
OF six rods or more from the fruit
plantation.
Ia our severe climate only the most
hardy and vigorous trees should be
planted, or In other words:
b. Native trees and shrubs aro pro-
icrable for wind breaks. IL. IL. Bailey, !

The Next Naval War.

It is an open question whether, in
the next naval war, undefcnded tow ms
will be attackedp In past wars they
have not been, but some think that
they will be in future-that is TO say,
they will be given the option of paying
heavy sums OF money in a short time,
or suffering bombardment; the idea
being that the more money obtained,
and the greater isery generally in
Aicted, the shorter will be the duration
OF the war; and this may very possibly
be true. That small cruisers of the en-
emy will, II they can, sink our mer-
chant shipping and leave the crews
TO take their chance of sink or swim in
theip own boats Is moderately certain;
for such a cruiser could neither afford
time TO rescue the crews, space to stow
them nor men Of her own to form a

PARIS COUTURiERES.
Dress-Makers of the Future VIII BE q
Most Wonderful Product.

Ntost " iTOuucts
Partisan dress-makers, or couturi-
eres, have always had a reputation for
taste and skill. They were, however,
generally trained in rather irregular
fashion, much being left to their intui-
tive, or their initiative, faculties.
Nowadays, however, the apprentice
couturieres are educated professionally
in most methodical manner, and it is
predicted confidentially on this account
that the dress-makers of the future will
be the most wonderful products that
the world of fashion has ever seen. In
all the professional schools OF the city
of Paris girls are taught not only sew
ing, but Euclid and drawing. Then
the embryo dress-malsers receive Ella
borate lessons in design. Their teach
er, the mattress couturiere. is skill
full geometrician and designer as we'll
as perfect needlewoman and tailoress.
She makes her pupils sketch on paper,
or on cloth, with graphic and symmet-
rical precision the costumes which
they have ultimately to construct in
solid stuff, and teaches them to trans
form various articles of feminine attire
by rapid strokes of pencil or chalk
from rotonde to mantelet. and from
a corsage or a basque into pelerine
but the cultivators of the young dress
making idea do not stop al
drawing or geometry. They also
aim at making apprentice cou.
turieres water-colorists, in order tc
help them combine color with form in
the matter of building up dresses. M.
Gustave Congny, who has devoted his
time to writing book on this highly
interesting subject, on the artistic
dress-makers of the future, goes into
raptures about the remarkable meta
morphosis which fashion is likely to
undergo at the hands of the aesthetic
couturieres who are TO come. What
lovely sartorial symphonies, he seems
to say; what dainty and delicious har-
monies in founces; what Arcadian
poems in petticoats will be evolved
from the brains of the highly-trained
seamstresses who are on their way to
rejoice mankind. A couturiere will,
In future. be veritable artist, ranking
with the doctoresses in medicine and
physics, and "distancing" all the men,
bers of the minor callings and pursuits
which are nowadays taken up by fe-
males. -Mtpnea;;OLis Tribune.
