THE WINTER GIRL.

Now the summer girl has gone,
The winter girl succeeds her;
Fair is she to gaze upon,
And the fashion needs her;
She her shapely form can show
Clad in costume pretty.
Her dressmaker can we'll bestoY
The neatest in the city.
Summer girls are full of fun,
Winter girls are fuller;
Cheeks are red without the sun
Bright and healthy color;
Summer girls have lots of beaux--
Winter girls have many
They are. as every fellow knows,
Prettier far than any.

"A Practical Device to. Secure a

next Legislature looking towards n

IS designed to be from u to IS feet
long in front of the polling widow,
leaving an avenue about three feet
wlde' the entrance being at one end
and the exit at the other.
The entrance should be guarded bv
two officers, one chosen from each
party, whose duty should be to pre.
vent more than one person entering
the enclosure ut the same time the
voter after leaving his ballot with the
inspector, will pass out at the other
end of the screen. By this means an
absolutely secret ballot may be OBJ.
tained, and the designer believes that
this plan, in many respects, is superior
to the Australian ballot, or any other
ballot law yet made public (espeoia Nv
for this State.) 1t would be less com
plicated, much cheaper and the voting.
1t is claimed by the inventor, would
proceed much more expeditiously, and
certainly with more secrecy for the
voter who cannot read or write, as he
could by this plan have his ticket pre-
pared at his leisure by some friend In
whom he has confidence. With the
Australian law Mr.. Coprsey says, eve
can see no secrecy or security from
fraud for this illiterate, who is at the
mercy of a stranger who may fix his
ticket just as he wants 1t or he NAV fix
it otherwise and cause him to vote for

National Temperance Congress

A call has been issued for the assem-.
ollng OF National Temperance Con.
gress to be held in the Broadway Tab.
ernacle Church, New York, on the
IIth and 18th of June. The call is
numerously and most respectfully in
uorsed by persons and societies in
nearly all the states of the Union. and
represents every shade of opinion on
the liquor question. The avowed pur.
pose OF the Congress is to promote the
cause OF temperance by discussion of
the means whereby this may be best
effected. It's primary object is neither
TO support prohibition nor high license
nor any special measure for RESTRICTING
the liquor traffic. Its one point is ON.
| position to the saloon, and to ascarto;D
now this opposition may be best
brought to bear upon it and on the
liquor traffic, of which the saloon is
the most potent agent. On this sub.
Ject representatives of all shades of
opinion are to be invited to exDress
their opinions. The programme as
lalu down offers this opportunity.
Inc questions to be presented for con.
slderation relate, under separat,. heads
TO State and national prohibition. bipb
license, the action of the churches. the
attitude of the labor men toward tho
liquor traffic, the line on which the
enemies of the saloon, holding differ.
eht views as to the course to be nnr.
sued, may unitedly do battle whether
1t is feasible to organize a politicol
party with prohibition as its dominant
idea ; how far and in what wav law
ana order societies, may be made aux.
illarles IN the temperance warfare n
what cause may be attributed the
failure of the prohibition amendments
In Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island, and to what extent tho
cohee-house may be regarded as a
counteractive to the saloon. Besides
these questions for general discussion
there are others in the programme re.
latlng to improved dwellings in large
clties' local option the duty of the
churches in regard to temperance
work among the young, ETC., etc. The
work cut out for the congress appears
TO be too heavily to be handled in a
session lasting but two days. but the
idea OF calling it together, not to rem.
resent any one particular opinion on
Che subject of temperance, but. com.
posed OF men of divergent views. for

Farm and Household Hints.

A tablespoonful of kerosene in a
boiler of clothes will greatly facilitate
the rubbing.
Dampness is as injurious to young
stock as cold. Dryness and warmth
Oonduce to health and save food.
Clover hay, cut very fine and scalded
is good ration for growing pigs that
have been weaned. A mess of the
cut clover given once day will pro-
mote their appetites and keep them in
health.
Every animal on the farm sbould
pay for all the food it can eat. and II
1t will not do this and pay a profit the
sooner it is got rid of the better. With
good stock there is no economy in
stinting the food.
The COWS that are kept for food
should be regarded as machines to con-
vert the food supplied into milk. and
in order to secure as large a product as
possible, plenty of raw material must
be supplied.
Astockman says: II can invest 81 600
in sheep and burn every pound of
wool produced for FIVE years, and make
more clear money than can be made on
horses, cattle or hogs in the same
