How to Choose a Seat.

Do you know how to choose instant
ly and without a knowledge of where
the sun is-which a woman never has
the cool and shady side of the ele-
waited or horse car? Just this. Take
the side on which there are the most
men-not women. The instinct of the
average man for comfort amounts to
positive divination. Have YOU never
watched him in a railway train or the
cars in the city? When he enters he
gives one little glance about him. That
seems to suffice, and he moves straight
way, as ~ a kind of gravitation, to
the mo$inf Portable seat that is avail
able, e
Not so with a woman; she casts
wildly about her for the nearest seat
and falls into that. After a while she
discovers Flat it is right in the glare of
the sun, Nj that there is a boor Of a
man next her who takes as much of
is cs16hhEaer seat just a little fur
Their al6N rch she would have liked
much 3 = Bless your soul! The
man sakGfll that the instant, he en-
tered the Gar and steered the 1ther
way He really didn't know himself
that he did it, but he did. AS we have
said, it is kind of divination rather
than an intellectual process.-New

A Charleston correspondent of the
Barton Monitor says; Mrs. Lizzie
Buck owns one of the best farms in
this town. Her management of her
farm and her business affairs shows
what a courageous and enterprising
woman can do. She has a large
meadow. where she cuts a great
quantity of hay and a good hill pas
tire for her COWS and other stock.
There are two large and convenient
barns on the place, both of which
have good Easements and large sta
bles. She keeps from 20 to 25 cows,
about 30 head of young cattle, and a
lot of sheep and hogs. Her butter is
contracted to parties in Island Pond.
The cows and all stock are well
cared for. She has three sons, now
nearly man grown, and the farm is
run with a little extra help. One
who visits this place is impressed
with the fact that good farming
pays.
