How She Attracted Attention.
This little Incident it is true story =
,curred few years ago In PhiIadelphia.

This little incident 1T is true story -
occurred few years ago in Philadelphia.
The owner OF large retail store gave q
holiday to oil his employees, in the mid
die OF June. Cashiers, foremen, salesmen
and women. cashboys and porters, all
were invited to spend the day on the
grounds OF the country seat owned by
their employer. Tents were erected. q
bountiful dinner and supper we're proyid
ed, band of music was stationed in the
grove, and special trains were chartered 10
carry the guests to the country and homo
again.
Nothing else was talked Of weeks before
the day. The saleswomen, most of whom
were young, auxiously planned their dres.
ses, and bought cheap and pretty muslins,
which they made up in the evenings, that
they might look fresh and guy. Even the
cash boys bought new cravats and hats for
the great occasion.
There was one girl, whom we shall osll
Jane, who could not indulge herself 10
any pretty bit Of fnery. She was the on
ly child OF widowed mother who wss
parslyzsd. Jane was quick and indust :.
rious, but she had been but few months
in the store and her wages barely kept her
and her mother from want.

But that is winter dress! You'll melt,

and croquet. You must have g summer

nothing for few minutes.
/ shall wear this. she said firmly. And /

But you cant dance or play croquet 10

It is always fun to see other people have
fun, said Jane, bravely.
The day came bright and hot, and Jane
went in her heavy, well dsrned dress
She gave up oil idea Of "fun' Tor herself
and set to work to help Others find ii. On
the cars she busted herself in finding seats
for the little girls and helping the servants
with the baskets OF provisions. On the
grounds she started games for the children

old ladies, was ready to pin up torn
gowns. or to applaud good BALI she
laughed and was happy and friendly all
the time. She did not dance nor play, but
she was surrounded by cheeful, merry
group wherever she went.
On the way home to town the employer
who was shrewd business man, beckoned
to his superintendent.
There is one girl here whose friendly,
polite manner is very remarkable. She
will be valuable TO me as ssleewomsp.

Have Plenty of Manure.

As a counterpart of soiling should
go the making of large quantity of
manure. As the cows are stabbed
more or less every day in the year,
and for the other time are kept in a
yard, every partical Of manue made,
solid and liquid can be saved, and a
very large quantity of litter can be
worked up into compost. In this way,
by the use of leaves gathered from a
wood lot cleared of brush so that a
horse rake can be used TO gather
them, with dry swamp grass and other
materials one COW in the year can be
made to furnish 10 loads of excellent
manure, and the land be kept in the
highest state of fertility. There is no
chance for weeds when land is plowed
and cropped three times in a year, and
the result is that the soil is brought
up to the most productive condition.
With ensilage, which with this system
affords succulent green fodder the
year round, it is possible to bring up
the average yield of herd of good
cows TO 300 pounds of butter In the
year. As COW under this system can
be kept for an actual cost of less than
$50 year, the profit is evident.

Cultivate Your Meadows.

There is no part of the farm at the
present day so much neglected as the
meadow, says writer in the Farm,
Field and Stockman. The general
idea of the farmer is that the meadow
does not require any cultivation or
care The meadow he says, sis all
right. | seeded this field two or three
years ago; but | cannot see why | get
so light crop"
1t is quite plain you have been rob
bling the land for three years and re-
turning nothing. Worse than that
you allowed the moss to creep in and
smoother the roots which you have
robbed Of their natural sustenance
without returning anything to them
or driving off the moss from the root
bound grass.
What kind of corn crop would
you get if you did not cultivate it?
To insure big crop of hay cult .'ate
it, Haul during the winter months,
six or eight loads TO the acre of barn
yard manure and spread it while haul
ing as evenly as you can with a fork.
Then as early as you can get on the
meadow in March, or as soon as the
frost is out and the ground dry enough
to get on with a team, take good
harrow and drag it thoroughly, and
then cross harrow it, then roll the
meadow with common field roller.
You will imagine you are going TO
ruin your meadow, but you are simply
loosening the roots and giving them
chance; and when harvest time comes
you will find you not only did injure
your meadow, but greatly increased
your crop of grass, and also improved
your ground.
This matter of cultivating grass is
not mere theory" 1t is principal
proved to be correct by actual trial
with profitable results. In 1882
Josiah Bagley, of Serena, from six
acre meadow took twelve loads of hay
with no after crop. The following
season he MANFRED and cultivated
the same six acres substantially as
outlined above. Some Of his neigh
bors laughed at him; but about the
10th of July, 1888, be cut nineteen
loads of grass from these Isix acres,
and in the last of September, cut a
second crop of nine loads. He says:
Il ain the advocate of cultivating
grass.

The Ten Health Commandme nts.

1. Thou shalt have no other food
than at meal time.
@ Thou shalt not make unto thee
any pies or put into pastry the like
ness Of anything that is in the heavens
above or in the waters nnder the
earth. Thou shalt not fall to eating
it or trying to digest it. For the dys-
pepsia will be visited upon the chill
dren to the third or fourth generation
of them that eat pie; and long life
and vigor upon those that live pru-
IDENTIFY and keep the laws of health.
g. Remember thy bread to bake it
well; for he will not be kept sound
that eateth his bread as dough-
L. Thou shalt not indulge sorrow or
borrow anxiety in vain.
5. Six days thou shalt wash and
keep thyself clean, and the seventh
though shalt take great bath, thou
and thy son, and thy daughter, and
thy man-servanta and the maid-servant
and the stranger that is within thy
gates For in six days man sweats
and gathers filth and bacteria enough
for disease; wherefore the Lord has
blessed the bathtub and hallowed
it.
6. Remember the sitting room and
bed chamber to keep them ventilated
that thy days may be long in the land
which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Z. Thou shall not eat hot biscuit
8. Thou shalt not eat thy meat
fried.
8. Thou shalt not swallow thy
food unchewed, or highly spiced, or
just before hard work, or just after
it,
10. Thou shalt not keep late hours
in their neighbours house, nor with
thy neighbours wife, nor his man-ser-
want, nor his cards, nor his glass, nor
with anything that is thy neighbours.

Distribution of Seeds.

Mr.. Darwin found that the small
portions of earth attaching the feet OF
migrating birds contained seed. Nine
grains of earth on the leg of wood
cock contained a seed of the toad
rush. From six and a half ounces OF
earth rolled into a ball and adhering
to the leg of a wounded partridge he
raised eighty-two seperate plants of
five species. Migrating birds often
frequent the edges of ponds ere their
departure. and in six and three-quarter
ounces of such mud he raised under
glass $50 plants. Seeds furnished with
crowns, hooks, or prickles, readily
stick to the plumage of birds which
all such birds, and especially such
wanderers as the albatross, might car
ry long distances. Apply these facts
to the case of the Azores, Mr. Wallace
found that the most of the pla nts of
Azorian flora are well adapted to be
carried by methods just suggested
forty-five of the 439 Towering plants
belonging to a general that have
either pappus or winged seed, sixty
five to such as have minute seeds,
thirty to those with fleshy fruits
which are greedily eaten by birds
some have hispid seeds, and eighty
four are glumaceous plants well suited
to conveyance by winds and currents.
The only trees and shrubs of this
isolate group are bearers, Of small
berries, such as the laurel myrtle,
laurnistinus, and elder, while those
with heavy berries, which could not
be conveyed by the means suggested
oaks, chestnuts, hazels, apple, beeches,
alders, fir-are absent common as
they are in Europe. The character of
the flora is that of the southwestern
peninsula of Europe, and if we assume
that one-half its species is indigenous,
the others introduced by European
settlers, there is still a rich and va
ried flora which Mr.. Wallace thinks
has been recently carried over nine
hundred miles of ocean by means just
indicated. There isprobably no better
example of ocean migration than that
offered by the Azores, and it is be
lieved that the phenomena ain question
are still in progress, and that 900
miles do not form the limit of the dis
lance to which this same ocean car
riage of plants extends.
