Women Telegraphers in Russia.

Really the Russian powers that be are
too hard on the young women employed
in their telegraph offices. 1t appears
that on entering the service they are
only admitted on the condition that
they will marry Oily such men as are
employed in the same work as them
selves, and that if the husband should
happen to be i'll she will take his place,
besides retaining her own. A few days
ago the young ladies made up their
minds to bear such tyranny no longer,
and sent in humble petition to the
heads of the service demanding a re-
lease from the law which condemns
them to celibacy if they do not choose
to marry one of their male colleagues.
An answer to the petition has not yet
been granted, and if the matter is taken
in hand with the elaborate sluggishness
which distinguishes Russian officialdom.
a good deal of water will have flown
down the Neva before the matter is set

Agriculture in England.

Hon. n. j. Colman, Secretary of
Agriculture under President Cleveland,
has had published some very interest
ing observations about his recent trip
through England, as an agricultural
representative on Scripp's league. The
picture he draws of the condition of
agriculture in England is far from a
bright one. The farmers there are not
land owners. They must pay rent of
from three to five dollars per acre, and
when near cities from twenty-five to
fifty dollars per acre. In addition to
the rent they must pay taxes for vari-
Gus purposes. one-tenth of what is raised
going to the support of the established
church. On account of cheap ocean
transportation they are unable to COM
pete in The production of breadstutfs
with other nations. In short, farming
is improbable: times are hard among
them. and they are emigrating IN large
numbers to America and the English
colonies. About the only kind of farm
ing that is now profitable in England
is the raising of mutton sheep. Meat
is high and the pasturage Of that coun-
try, owing to it's climate, is uneXcelled.
But already the farmers there are COM
planning loudly against the importation
of American meats, as we'll as bread
stutfs.-Farm and Fireside.

CONCERNING COMPOST.
How to Make a Compost Heap to Secur
Best Results.

How to Make a Compost Heap to Secure
Best Results.
There are two main things to be con-
sidered at the outset in making the best
compost heap. One is how to hasten de-
composition, and the other is how to
prevent the escape of gases that are
created. The compost heap should be
SO located that it can be drained, and
the drainage saved, for necessarily it
must contain valuable fertilizing in
gradients. The site of the heap Sc
1ected and drainage provided, construct
the heap. Barnyard manure and any
deposit that contains plenty of vegeta-
BILE matter are the principal ingredients.
When it can be had swamp muck is just
the thing. There is one bit of caution
that ought to be given. and that is to be
careful that nothing is used in which
there are weed seeds.
The proportions should be one part of
barnyard manure and two parts of muck
or whatever else is used. Now the foun-
dation, the basis, of the compost is
made. To this is added every thing that
is lying about the premises that can pos
sibly add to the value of the heap, and
one of the greatest advantages of the
compost is the utilizing very much of
value as fertilizers which would other
wise go to waste. Gather up the night
soil, chicken droppings, wood ashes,
sawdust, corn stalks, leaves. straw, soap
SudS. fish or meat brine and old mortar
and thoroughly mix them with the heap.
The farmer or gardener will be surprised
to see what large quantity of fertilizer
he will get by gathering up these odds
and ends. To every load of material
about twenty-five pounds of plaster
ought to be added.
Now the chemical changes begin.
PutrefactiOn, or fermentation-both be-
ing the same SO far as the chemical op-
GRAFTON is concerned--commence The
carbon contained in the dead vegetable
matter unites with oxygen from the air
or in the water that may be in the ma
terial, and carbonic acid gas is the re-
suit. This gas acts on the silicate of
potash in the mixture, separates the
sillcate from the potash and makes car
Donate of potash, and the silica being
freed becomes hydrated silica, and both
these elements are thus made at once
available for plant growth. Observe,
therefore, the benefit of composing in
thus making these two elements avail
able. Before the changes took place
both were insoluble and utterly useless.
Suppose unrotted straw had been ap-
piled to the land. 1t would require
year, and perhaps two years. before
these elements could be made available.

The Man Who iarries Money.

The man who seeks wife for the pur-
pose of securing the means of living
without working does not merit the re-
spect of the meaneSt person on earth.
His intentions are so manifest that they
deceive no one. He plans his attack
with the ingenuity of General. His is
an aggressive courtship, and hypocrit-
ical one as well. He can not afford to
let the flame flicker for a moment. He
must act the role of deception contin-
ually. If there should ever come the
moment when feeling of self-inde-
pendence and self-respect enters the
young woman's mind, his hopes in that
instant may be shattered beyond re-
demption There is the necessity of
ever-present caution and constant re-
course to ohypocricy.-Detroit Free Press.

FASHIONABLE SHOES.
The Kind They Wear in London and VIII;
They COvet in New York.

The Kind They Wear in London and What
They COvet in New York.
The most fashionable London shoes.
for very small occasions, are in silk,
suede or morocco, corresponding with
the gown. with contrasting heels, rands,
and either ribbon tying the side flaps to-
gether, on the instep, or a handsome
buckle. Gray silk or morocco, with
white heels, rands and silver buckle:
dark green with white, reseda with pale
pink, black with red, gold color with
gray. have all been popular combina-
tions. and have been worn at Goodwood,
the garden party at Marlborough House
and at entertainments on board the
ships and yachts off Portsmouth.
The fashion of piping shoes with
color comes to us from the commence
mcnt of the eighteenth century. The
black patent-leather shoe, with colored
satin heel, is another fashionable shoe,
and is a copy of French court shoes,
worn very many years ago, the shape
and general fashion being adhered to,
though the patent leather is an inven-
ton of modern days. Those with red
heels and handsome gold buckles are
extremely smart and most becoming to
the feet.
For evening, brocade shoes. made
with the contrasting heel and rand,
with dainty bows. lined with the color
of the heel or with cut buckles, are in
the height of fashion. Some of the
bows are smartly set up, each one lined
with color. drawn together at the base,
in form somewhat resembling mouse's
ear. while others are laid over upon the
shoe, sometimes with three pearl or
crystal studs placed down the center.
The brocade is usually that of the gown
the shoe is to be worn with, and the
heel and rand that of the color in it,
such as gold and white brocade, with
gold satin heel and piping, and so on.
For ordinary wear kid shoes are more
fashionable than satin. For afternoon
wear colored and embossed morocco
shoes after the Louis Nv. period. with
disappointed instep flaps and handsome
buckles. are much worn. These shoes
are often worn with historical costumes.

Smile with the friends who rot nd me smile,
And strive their joys to share;
Whilst ever deep within my heart
There lives ceaseless pain
A tender longing for the step
That ne er can come again.
AS sunlight dances DER the waves
Though wrecks lie dark beneath;
And pale sweet flowers adorn the graves
Where dear ones sleep in death;
AS pitying Nature strives to hide
The hurts she can not heal,
So loving hearts, with gentle craft,
Their mortal wounds conceal.
All. said and dark were many homes
But for the tender grace,
With which pale Resignation draws

simple applications made at home by the
