PRISON REFORM.

man traps and then vent such
fearful spite upon a young offender
ostracise him, imprison him and
then dress him up in stripes To
shame, degrade and unman him,
and then send him out tn the world?
Does this harhaTous dress help him?

Don't you think it would hs n
ynod plan to seId young Offenders,
fthnse who are more siuned against

mite term, allowing 81 competent
board to decide when they might
properly be given their freedom: :
Can't We give them some hone,
some motive, To be men" some
certificate of character to help them
on in life? Or must We pinch and
torture them To the last, in order to
scare ourselves into decent conduct" "

Nothing.

A Poyerty.stricken Millionaire

This seems q paradox, but it is ex-
planned by one of New York's richest
men. 81 don't count my wealth in

possessions to me, since l am victim
of consumption ? My doctor tells me
that l have but a few months to live,

Discovery will eradicate every vestige
of the disease from your system" 'rll

the complaint. Consumption is a dis

less than lung scrofula and it must

USE SHARP SAWS
INSTRUCTIONS How They May Always Be
Kept in Good Order,

INSTRUCTIONS How They May Always BE
Kept in Good Order.
The hrst thing to do when putting a
saw In order is to ascertain if the teeth
are OF equal length. If not, the saw
needs Jointing. If the saw goes straight
through the log itdoes not need iointing.
But II the person who files it does not
use 1t he must trust to the eve to de-
eide whether the teeth are of equal
length. If wise is not at hand to hold
the saw. cut kerr three or four inches
deep IN the top of stump or the end of
log Place the saw in this and fasten
1t with a wedge. The stump should
be nearly breast-high to be convenient.
To joint the saw, remove the file
handle and hold the file as nearly
level as possible between the thumb
anu myers and run it lengthwise of the
saw, drawing the file backward instead
OF pushing 1T forward. When filing the
Ieeth DO not file them to a sharp point,
but leave the end nearly as large as the
head end of very fine sewing-needle.
Few saws will stand to cut through
hard knots if filed to sharp point
The points of the teeth will break and
the saw Will be in no better condition
lof business than before filing.
The next work after filing the cutting
teeth, is to set them. This is best ac-
complished by using a saw-set made as
follows: Take a thin piece of steel with
hole punched through one end about
as Ear from the edge as the teeth are
long. Have slot cut from the edge of
this steel to the hole, a trifle wider than
the thickness of the saw. The best
guage is made by putting a small screw
with the joint filed sharp through the
end of a stick three-eighths of an inch
square and four inches long. Adjust
the screw to the width you wish the saw
set, take the guage in the left hand and
place it against the left-hand side OF the
saw as you stand facing it from one end.
The end of the screw that projects
over the teeth will show how far the
teeth on the right hand side of the saw

The beginning of Winter Dairying.

Winter dairying requires whole
year of preliminary preparation The
COWS must first be provided. These
should come in about September and
hence. must be bred about December.
1t has been said that this is an unnat-
ural period for breeding; that spring is
the breeding time for cows This is
mistake. Cows will breed at any time
OF the year. The natural habits of wild
animals are based upon conditions, as
the supply of food, for instance, which
do not apply to domesticated animals;
and it will not be difficult for any one
who desires to have winter dairy to
keep back the cows from service until
the period required. Then follows the
provision for feeding-the fodder crops,
especially, which will be required-and
these will. in most cases, necessltate
some changes in the ordinary farm prac-
tice, which will easily occur to those

HOME DRESS-MAKING.
Hints For Ladies' Accustomed to Doing
the Family sewing.

Hints For Ladies Accustomed to Doing
the Family sewing.
Home dress-making has been of late
years reduced to a comparative easy
task by the number of articles parts
of the dress that can be bought of the
shops all ready to be sewn on. This
facilitates the task. so that all that is
required is to fit the dress, sew up the
seams. and drape it All the minutiae
of the work, the covering of whale
bones the making of yoke or bands to
the skirt, and numerous other ''putter-
ing small work is done away with, as
all these parts of the dress can be
bought in the shop as cheaply as they
can be made. The single covered
steels, which are sold to take the
place of whale bones, are not to be
recommended. 1t is no trouble to
cut the whale bone up, however, and
rat them into the convenient cases OF
silk, which come by the yard or piece.
1t is considerable trouble to fit skirt
woke, and those sold in the shops are q
great convenience. More desira bic than
the plated skirt-braid is the cord of
braid that is ready to be put on the
skirt with one row of stitching. Skirts
are so plain this season that they can
be easily made at home. 1t is the uni
versal practice now TO make founda-
ton skirt of silk, alpaca or cotton to all
dresses This is the lining, but it is
never sewed down to the upper part at
the bottom, but left to hang free. This
lining, or found alton skirt is faced up on
the outside the distance of ten or twelve
inches with some of the dress goods,
and bound with braid at the bottom,
and faced up on tue inside with founda-
ton muslin and alpaca or some other
strong. durable facing. The skirt prop
err, which is now without drapery. is
hung over this skirt from the waist
band and tackled to the foundation skirt
at intervals to hold it in proper place.
The bodice or waist of all dresses iS
finished at the belt. which is concealed
by soft folded girdle of silk, plain
pointed girdle of cloth like the dress or
some similar continuance. BaSques are
seldom seen. There are 4 great many
dresses made now on Princess style.
There is.ljtuIe trimming used on wool
dress skirts, unless as border near
or at the bottom, or in the
shape of 4 narrow panel at
the left side. All skirts for the house
lay on the ground. and only barely es-
cape the ground in the street The waist
of the dress is often elaborately TRIM
med, however. Sleeves are always very
large and high, and reach far down over
the waist, instead of being short at the
waist. as they were formerly 1t is
rule, if the waist is of elaborate make,
that the huge sleeve should be plain or
the reverse. Be careful to set these full
sleeves very high on the shoulder, in
order to give slender appearance to
the figure, not a broad one.-N. I.

Selecting Trees.


There is nothing gained in selecting
.arge trees for transplanting. Young.
thrifty trees are easier to transplant,
will make better start to grow, and in
the end make a better tree. Many pur-
chasing trees for an orchard make the
mistake of selecting three-year- old
trees, under the impression that they
will come into bearing that much sooner.
With the same idea in mind, they fail
to cut back the tops in proportion to
the roots. and the consequence is that
the tree is slow in making a start to
grow and loses in this way fully as
much, if not more time, than younger
tree.
1t is very important in selecting trees,
to get those that are vigorous and
healthy. With the majority of varieties
of fruits, two-year-old trees will give
more satisfactory results than older
ones.
Cut back the top in proportion to the
roots; in many cases it will pay to cut
off the whole top leaving the straight
stem; then as the branches start out
select those that are the most deslra BILE
and rub or cut off all others. a better
shaped and a more vigorous tree can be
procured in this way. Such trees cost
less in the end. are more certain to
grow. and are more desirable in many
wavs than larger, older trees.
\ good plan in many localities is to
purchase what trees are wanted In the
fall, and heel them in carefully, then
set them out where they are to grow as
early in the spring as the condition OF
the soil will admit. This avoids to a
considerable extent tue risk of fall set
ting, and if put out early lessons very
materially She risk of spring planting.
