Getting up Early,
Medical Classics

dedicnl Classics.
All this talk about early rising is
noonshine. The habit of turning
)ut of bed in the middle of the night
suits some people; let them enjoy it.
But it is only folly to lay down a
general rule on the subject. Some
men are fit for nothing all day after
hey have risen early in the morning.
Their energies are deadened, their
maginations are heavy, their spirits
ire depressed.
1t is said you can work so well in
ihe morning. Some people can, but
others can work best at night; Others
again, in the afternoon. Long trial
md experiment form the only con-
elusive tests upon these points.
As for getting up early because
Prof All-Gammon has written letters
TO the papers providing the necessity
Of it, let no one be goose enough to
10 it.
We all know the model man aged
80: II invariably rise at five; | work
three hours, take light breakfast
namely, n cracker and a pinch of
salt; work five hours more, never
smoke, never drink anything but
barely water, eat no dinner, and go
20 bed at six in the evening""
If anyone finds that doniSeytied
sort OF life suits him, by all means let
lin continue it. But few people will
ARE to live to so on these terms. Ii
! man cannot get all withered and
,rumpled up on easier conditions than
those, it is almost as well that he
should depart before he is q nuisance
20 himself and a bore to everybody
Else.
School-boys, and young people
generally, ought to get up early, for
t is found that nine-tenths of them
IAN stand it, and it does them good.
But let no one torture himself with
the thought that he could have been
twice as good man as he if he had
risen every morning at daylight. The
habit would kill halt of us in less than
1--WE years.

Orientals in Paris.

Paris is full OF orientals of every
hue and in every conceivable costume
just now. Occasionally tall Egyptians,
Algcrians, or East Indians, in tremen-
dous turbans and gorgeous petticoats,
flash by in vehicles adding additional
bits OF bright color to the kaleido-
scopic city. Among the most original
of the foreigners now in Paris must be
mentioned u Muscovite magnate who
has been in the exhibition every day
since its opening and whose special
mania Is to taste every cosmopolitan
dlsh that Is prepared on or near the

Auburn Haired Girls.

All young women possessed of red
hair can remember that in the days
Of their childhood their hirsute adorn-
ment was II source of hooking merri-
ment to their friends, and the term
''sorrel top" or strawberry blonde"
was one OF contempt. They wondered
perhaps, why it was that they were
always called "red headed" when
their playmates were described as
being black, brown or golden haired.
But the 'red headed girls don't
mind now that it is every young
woman's ambition to be auburn
haired, and she hopes by the use
Of hair dyes TO attain the shade
which belonged to the wicked
Lucretia. If she gets exactly
the right shade she does not see
why single thread of her hair
might not be preserved by the United
States government and exhibited as
is the one so proudly shown in
Florence as having belonged to the
wicked Lucretia. 1t is odd how
many famous women have had this
Titan red hair. Catherine of Russia
gloried in it,and Anne of Austria had
brown hair just on the verge of being
red. Ninon de L'Encloe was equally
proud OF her warm cOlored tresses,
und Mary Stuart seemed Il daughter
of the sun. Jane Hading and Mrs.
Potter both have warm auburn hair,
but it does not reach the real tinge,
which is that which crowned, in all
her glory the head of the Empress
Eugene, she who has known the ex-
IRENE of happiness and of Sadness

A BIG BRIDGE.

The st. Lawrence to Be Spawned
at Quebec by Cantilever Struc-
ture.
The st. Lawrence is to be crossed
at Quebec by gigantic railway bridge
which will very materially effect the
trafic OF the two great railways OF
Canada Grand Trunk and the
Canada Pacifc-as well as an impor-
tant part of the railway system of the
New England states. The great depth
OF the st. Lawrence river opposite
Quebec has hitherto been a powerful
argument against the construction of "a
bridge, but engineering skill has over
come this obstacle with scheme to
build a cantilevcr bridge. which will
cost close upon 100000 900. The
width of the river from shore to shore
at Quebec is $4,000 feet (about four
and three-fourths miles,. The main
peers are to be constructed of solic
granite in forty feet of water about
500 feet from each shore. These two
piers are to support a cantilever bridge
OF span of lap feet. The total
length of the bridge with the APP
proaches will be $4,000 feet, (nearly
60 miles,. The top of the bridge
from high-water will be 40S feet, and
the largest ocean steamers will be able
to pass under it. The principal object
in building the bridge is to connect
the International railway from Halifax
and ST. John to Quebec, which is run
by the Canadian government at a great
annual loss to the country, with the
Canadian Pacific railway. This is
the only link uncompleted necessary
TO give the Canadian Pacific railway

tic to the Pacific ocean through Canad-
ian territory. Iron.

Sowing Carrot Seed.

1t is very difficult to get n uniform
stand of carrots without heavy seeding,
which requires much work in thinning.
The young plants are very slender,
and two standing closely together
will look so much like one as to de-
ceive the weeder. The shorthorn car
rot is less injured by close planting
than those varieties that root deeper.
The rows should be in perfectly
straight lines, so that as much as pos
sible can be done without hand weed
ing. When all outside this line has
been well cultivated. cut spaces into
the rows with a narrow hoe, chopping
out some carrots with the weeds, but

ing sown. drying by mixing with sand.

A Daring Confederate Soldier.


General jackson having driven the
enemy from all that section of Virginia,
left General Loring with his brigade to
protect it, with headquarters at Rom
ney. With the remainder of his little
army he returned to Winchester, forty
miles distant. He reached that point on
January Gath. Then occurred that disaf-
lection in the detachment left at Rom
ney that caused the interference of the
Secretary of War, and came very near
losing to the Confederacy the services
of General jackson. But this misunder-
standing was adjusted in manner salts
factory to him before the enemy in his
front moved from their winter quarters.
As the March winds began to dry the
roads, the Federal advance commenced.
General Banks, with thirty-fve thou
sand men, was approaching by way of
Harper's Ferry, and General Lander,
with eleven thousand more, was cross
ing the mountains from the West. Gen
eral jackson had altogether only
about four thousand men with which
to confront them. Yet, at first, he de-
termined not to withdraw without a
fight. He therefore marched out in
front of Winchester to give them battle.
General Banks had crossed the Potomac
on the 26th of February, but it was not
until the 18th of March that he reached
the immediate vicinity of Winchester.
Ashby, with his cavalry and battery of
horse artillery, had contested every
foot of the way. About two o'clock on
the afternoon of the 18th, his cavalry
were pressed back within four miles of
the town. Reinforcements were sent
from the infantry and these in turn were
compelled to retire. The whole Con-
federate force was then thrown forward,
and battle offered to the enemy. But
General Banks declined the proifer for
that day at least. During the night Gen

Matching. They produce stronger

/ SOW, says an experienced and prac-
tical writer, few rows of carrots
every year in May. They are nice for
the table and the cows enjoy the sur
plus. Fed with fresh ground yellow
corn meal they color the winter butter
better than the anatto and cotton seed
oil. Sow only one year old seed.
Assuming that it takes twenty bu sh-
els of corn to pay the cost OF Guilt
waiting an acre, the acre that produces
thirty bushels gives twice the profit
that the one does that produces twen-
ty-fve bushels. The acre that gives
fifty bushels will make IL profit six
times as large as the one that gives
yield Of twenty-five bushels. The
moral is: Increase the profit by in
creasing the yield, rather than by in
crease of acreage.
When thin spots in pasture are no
ticed they may always be greatly i'm
proved by seeding, and with II good
pocketful Of seed and II rake many such
places may be entirely recovered by
man going over them in early spring.
1t is undesirable to turn cattle on the
pasture too early, not only because the
ground is soft but to insure good
growth. and thus afford breathing ca
pacity of the plants and increase the
productiveness. 1t will need all of its
vitality ere the months Of August and
September pass.
To wash sheep in pond, merely
because it is wet, is poor business. If,
after the sheep and the washers have
floundcred about in it a few minutes,
the bottom becomes stirred up and the
water muddy, it will, though it may
remove good deal of gum, leave the
fleece so discolored when dry that the
sale of it will be greatly injured.
Better drive long distance to clear,
running water than enact the farce of
waseing in a clay pond; for dry road
dust aGhering to the exterior OF the
fleece is less Objectionable than the
same dust would be when filtered in
solution through the gummy, sticky
interior. Cincinnati Enquirer.
