in such case, for two reasons: First,
such carelessness should be made to
pay as high as possible for its fun, and
second, such man ought not to i'm
pose upon his neighbors who form the
basis of the farmers mutual COM

smoking while he was currying his

that man might smoke, in a

an explosion, but he would be a very
reckless man who should attempt it.
It needs but a spark among hay or
straw to burn down barn with the
probable loss of all there is in it.
Never do any thing which is likely to
cause fire. If a fire in the barn does
occur, there is one thing that is we'll
to remember. Horses are frightened

not lead a horse from a burning barn

to blindfold the animal. This may be
done by throwing a coat or blanket

Making Hay.

The dairy is an incumbrance with
out good fodder. Since last year when
many were compelled to save their own
fodder, there has been determination
to preserve large quantities of corn
fodder in good shape. 1t is wise de-
termination. Good corn fodder is ex-
celent for COWS. But some hay must
be fed and it should be good hay. But
it matter not how much nature may do
in furnishing the grass. if the crop is
not properly harvested we shall have
poor hay. Tho general rules applica-
BILE to cutting the grass are very we'll
known. 1t is too often the case, how
ever, that the grass is but too ripe.
There is no good reason for this. Beyond
certain point tho woody fiber in
creases very rapidly, and the hay is
poorer as the woody fiber does in
crease. Grass should be cut first when
it contains the greatest amount of nu-
triment. The grass, when cut, ought
not to be in a dry condition. Cut it
before it has ceased to be green, when
it is in blossom is the rule generally
laid down. There is one thing that
should be guarded against and that is
being unnecessarily hurried in saving
the grass crop. Be prepared to COM
nence cutting just as soon as the grass
IS ready to cut. Have every thing in
readiness to go right ahead without a
hitch. -Western Rural.

EXOTIC LITERATURE.
A Protest Against the Tendencies q
Writers of Fiction.

A Protest Against the Tendencies OF
Writers of Fiction.
The erotic in American fiction is a
recent and exotic growth, not native
to the soil. 1t is, therefore. un-
healthy and unwholesome. 1t is out
of place in this cold, northern air. In
its own climate it is a gaudy flower;
in this temperate zone it is poisonous
spotted lily, rank of smell and blister
ing to the touch. The licentiousness
of Theophile Gautier is elevated bv
the power of his transcendant genius
to the plane of true art. In America
it sinks into a denizen of the gutter.
A remarkable feature of this noxi-
Gus development is the prominent part
taken in it by women. 1t is somewhat
startling to find upon the title page of
a work swhose cold, deliberately i'm
morality and cynical disregard of all
social decency have set the teeth on
edge the name of woman as the au-
thor. We are so accustomed to asso-
ciate modesty of demeanor, delicay of
thought and word and purity of life
with women that a certain set of ad-
jectives expressive of virtue and
morality have come to include the idea
of femininity in their Specification. It
is certainly surprising, if not repcll-
ent, to find women the most industri-
GUS laborers in the work of tearing
down the structure of Honor and re-
spect for their sex which has so long
been regarded as the basis of social
existence.
If this breaking Of the holy images
be but another manifestation of the re-
volt OF women against the too narrow
limits Of ancient prejudice, it is only
additional proof that misguided revo-
luton easily becomes mere anarchy.
While the dispensation which would
contine women to the nursery and
kitchen and exclude them from broad
er fields of action is happily a dead
letter, it is quite certain that no condi-
ton Of civilization. however liberal,
will ever justify loose morals or lax
manners, Or, what is almost as repre-
hensible and much more despicable,
the cynicism which sneers at virtue
while it prudently keeps its own skirts
unsoiled But it is probable that the
women who write this kind of fiction
are misled by vanity rather than actu-
ated by evil impulses. They imagine
that in thus throwing off all restraint
they are giving evidence of originality
OF thought and force of character;
whereas they are, in fact, counting i'm
worthy suspicion and winning only
that sort OF applause which is thinly-
vailed contempt. -Belford's Magazine

NO CURE FOR BADNESS.

the Riddle.

the Riddle.
"Can hair be. made to grow on bald
heads?" said a fashionable hair
dresser, in response to a reporters
query: ''Yes-and no. If person be-
comes bald owing to illness the hair
can be made to grow again. In fact,
it will grow again without making, but
it can be aided and stimulated in its
growth by tonics. But if a person is
deprived Of his or her hair by natural
loss of vitality, it will not grow again,
and nothing has ever been compound
ed that will restore it. Natural bald
ness comes on gradually, and the awful
day OF its complete triumph over the
hairs existence may be postponed by
the use of tonics, but the final catas-
trophe can't be prevented. Long ex-
perience has taught me that fact,

until, if there had been one ember of
hair life left slumbering there, it must
surely have been brought back to it's
wonted fire and vigor. and have given
it up at last and handed them the card
of the #wig-maker. If have used one
hair restorative I have used five hun
dred, and every one was warranted to-
not only prevent badness, but to re-
store to bald heads their sometime hir-
suite glory. Look at me. See what a
remarkable growth of youthful gloss of
hair | have It has not changed in
twenty-five years. Why?"
The hair-dresser seized his soft
brown hair with both hands, and With
vicious jerk removed it from his
head. 1t was a costly wig, and his
head was as white and bare as bill
lard ball.
That is why!' he murmured bitter
ly. "Aud l an not only a hair-dresser
but one skilled in every tonsorial art! If
there were help for badness other than
the skill OF the wigmaker. do you sup
pose for moment that I, of all men,
would not know it, and, knowing it,
would not only have rescued myself,
but have saved to myself hundreds of
my most profitable customers? If that
is not proof enough that man once
bald is always bald, just call to mind
doctors of your own acquaintance who
are bald as glass globes. They are
learned in the mysteries of drugs and
their preparation. They know what
result their combination and applica-
ton will produce. If any one living
were capable OF curing badness some
one among these experts in the science
OF medicine ought to be. You never
had occasion to go to q doctor to get
prescription for badness. I have.
Come to me for cure for any
thing else my medical adviser said.

cure you. But badness! Why nv
dear sir, Esculapius himself was as
bald as-as bald as-well, as bald as I
am!
And he was bald, this doctor of
mine. An onion has more hair than
he had! No, my son. If there lurked
anywhere in all the medica, of not on
ly OF this age but OF past ages, the
name of one little herb or drug, or
whatever you may call it. that could
bid even one hair to grow where there
had been ten before, there would be
no bald doctors nor bald hairdressers,
and the discoverer of this boon would
live longer in the hearts of men than
would the much-spoken-of individual
who is expected to reach the summit
OF all greatness some day by making
two blades of grass grow where only
one grew before. IN. Y. Mail and Ex-
