DEAL GENTLY WITH THE CHILDREN.

Deal gently with the children
But few short years your own,
The home nest soon is empty,
And the little birds have flown;
And when no more returning,
They leave that home behind,
The thought will cheer your loneliness
That you were good and kind.
Deal gently with the children
Who gather round your knee;
Check not in sudden anger
Their merriment and glee;
The play that is 80 noisy,
SO wearisome to-day.
Will seem like sweetest music then
When they have gone away.
Deal gently with the children.
Fast changing every hour;
Still strive to make them happy,
While vet within your power;
Each smile, each word of kindness,
Each joy to childhood given
Is like step upon stair
That lifts US up to heaven.
Deal gently with the children,
You too were once a child;
Remember y on were happy
When those around YOU smiled:
And oh, remember always
Whatever else you do
To live as you would have them live;
For they will be like you.

That is the trouble with some people;
they have no time to wait for results.
Some women will take a dose or so of
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and
expect to feel we'll Immediately. True,
some do find m~arvclously speedy effects
from its use, but chronic, or lingering,
diseases, which have had possession of
the system for years, cannot generally
be cured in a day. Such maladies are
generally slow in their inception, slow
in their progress, and must be cured,
if at all, by slow degrees and regular
stages. Perseverance in the use of the

BILE length of time will cure all those
chronic weaknesses, irregularities and

many females arc afflicted. But the

Didn't Rely Entirely Upon Faith.

A middle-aged woman who had been
in the habit of purchasing treatises on
nursing at a w~ell-known book store In
Boston came in n day and bought a
number of physiological and other
works of a more distinctive medical
character. The salesman had con-
ceived the idea from her previous pur-
.chases and from a certain style OF
dress and bearing that his customer
was q professional nurse, or at all
events was in training for that posi-
ton. When, therefore, she bought
the medical works, issued under the
auspices OF the Boston College of
Physicians and Surgeons, he was some
what nonplused, but, his curiosity hav-
ing been excited, he said: II see you
have got through your studies as q
nurse" The woman replied blandly,
but with a certain manner which
seemed as much as her words to repel
the salesman's inference. II am not y
nurse; / am a Christian scientist"

The Whole Ear For Seed.

Several years ago l saw a statement
in a seed catalogue recommending the
planting OF the whole ear, rather than
to shell off the tip and butt kernels,
and then using the remainder for seed.
The old plan or at least the one I
had always been accustomed to, was
to go to the corn CRIB in the spring
when the time for planting corn came
and pick out the best ears, and shell
of the tip and butt kernels and the
rest was used for seed. There was no
particular reason / know of for doing
this, except custom. After seeing this
statement I made a careful trial,
planting several ows of corn, part of
seed used was the tip kernels, part
the butt kernels and the rest was from
the middle of the ears. Considerable
care was taken in the selection
of the kernels, so as to get
kernels from the extreme ends, and
from as near the middle as posi-
BILE. The soil was we'll prepared in Il
good filth, by blowing and narrowing,
and the rows marked off three and a
half feet each way, and the seed care
fully planted and covered.~ All reas-
enable care was taken to have the soil
as nearly alike all over as possible.
The seed was all planted the same day,
and cultivated together, narrowing
twice and c%ultivating four times. The
yield was good, the only difference of
any consequence was in the time of
ripening. That part planted with the
kernels from the tip of the ears,
ripened several days earlier than the
stalks that grew from the but kernels.
Each lot was carefully weighed with
the grain and the fodder, and the ears
and nubbins counted, the difference
was small; so much so that it satisfied
that there was no necessity for dis
carding the tip or butt grains for seed
if they were sound.

NEVER TOLD BEFORE.

An Incident Of Farragut's journey
Up the Mississippi.
Facts about she civil war, which,
had they been known at the time,
would have changed the complexion of
affairs in many battles, are still COM
ing to light. On Sunday, having oc-
casion to go aboard the British steam
ship hassell, l had a chat with Mr..
Weeks, the second officer. Sunburnt
and bewhiskered and a picture Of q
typical sailor, the conversation with
him turned to nautical matters, and
gradually to the revolution in marine
warfare caused by the building Of the
Monitor. 'Do you know" he said, II
vas on the confederate gunboat Louis
Jana when Farragut began his Journey
up the Mississippi; and had he known
how we were fixed in there he could
have captured the boat without any
difficulty. The Louisiana was hurried
ly built by joining two tugs together
and an endeavor was made to arrange
the two tugs shafts so as to work a
large wheel between the two boats.
The deck of the boat was covered with
a fat roof and slanting sides made of
three feet green oak logs with the
bark on covered in turn with a foot of
railroad iron. When Farragut passed
up the river the Louisiana was SO mt
out to meet him; but after going half
a mile the engines failed. and the boat
was transformed into a floating fort.
She carried eighteen guns. While iu
this disabled condition, we were Crap
pied by the United States man-of-war
Brooklyn and another frigate. Before
being grappled we used both our
broadsides on them with considerable
effect; but after that we could not use
our guns, owing to the smoke caused
by repeated discharges from the two
men-of-war: Our ports were not large
enough to allow the csc pc of the
smoke caused by their guns, and it
soon became so thick we could not see
each other. The two frigates peppered
our iron roof without avail, and finally
drew off and we drifted down the river,
where we grounded. When we were
able to open the vents in the roof we
found that more than a quarter of our
men had been rendered unconscious
by inhaling the smoke. Had the men,
of-war continued their firing fifteen
minutes longer it is safe to say that
every one Of the 100 men under the
roof OF the Louisiana would have been
asphyxiated. New York Star.

R~eplanting of Teeth.

Few people appear to be aware,
notes the Liverpool Mercury, that q
tooth can be extracted, cleaned and
res tored to it's socket, and become a
useful and natural instrument. One
Liverpool dentist, at least, is in the
habit of doing such o thing; and it
appears to surprise most people. A
gentleman in q large shipping Office
had q tooth taken ont, cleaned and
restored some years ago, and it is at
the present time a good servicea bic
tooth. This suggests the question
as to the possibility OF extracting
old teeth and inserting new ones!
1t would be a boon to many and
worth considering by clever dentists.

Almost as Gooda Man as Her
Brothers.

There is living at q point on East
bay, near Pensacola, a remarkable
family Of four boys and one young
woman. The boys consider their
sister to be one of themselves, she
being in nearly every respect as han
dy as a boy should be, and sharing
the labors of her brothers. They can
draw the lines of a ship, hew the tim
bers, build and launch her, and then
sail her around the world. The
schooner Axel, a fine little vessel
which they have built, is at present
somewhere on the gulf under com
mand Of Capt. G., one of the
brothers, who is a most expert navi-
gator. ~
The other brothers and sister are
now engaged in building another
and alarger vessel, which is we'll un-

and launched, will be one of the
s%tanchest crafts sailing the Mexican
sea. The draughtsman who fur

are the draughtsman and his broth

will sail her will be one of the boys,
who will take the remainder of the
family for the crew. For miles and
miles in all directions from the home
the boys have secured the forest
looking for natural crooks to be
used as timbers, q great many of
which they have found and used as
such. The work has so far pro-
crossed that the steam will be put in

Churning in the Winter.

Temperature is the most important
element in dairy work, but unfortun-
ately it is almost wholly ignored. A
thermometer is rarely seen in an
ordinary dairy. and as far as the
temperature is concerned everything
goes by guess-work. It is quite obvious
that if a small change in temperature
Is injurious, the winter season calls
for more than usual attention in this
respect One degree of temperature
makes all the difference between
water and ice, and changes a fluid into
a solid substance. If so, how import
ant a matter it must be in the manage
ment of milk and cream and the MAX
ing of butter. It is in the winter that
most of the trouble in butter making
is met with, and these troubles may
all be referred to injurious changes in
the temperature. With-good, clean
milk, from healthy COWS to start
WITH, one may secure the best
quality of butter every time in
the same time, if the proper attention
is given to the temperature-aIways
providing of course, that the milk and
cream are kept in pure air and are
not subjected to. injurious influences
which might spoil the flavor of the
butter. The normal temperature for
setting milk in open shallow pans or
the earthen pots that are sometimes
used, is 60 to go. AT this tempera-
ture the cream will all rise in So hours
and the milk will remain sweet if the
air is pure. At the same temperature
the cream will become ripe. for the
churn, that is, it will acquire the exact
degree of sourness needed for the best
churning in SO hours; if the three
skimmings are put in one jar and are
gently stirred when the fresh cream is
added. This will give II hours for the
cream to remain after the last skim
ming is added. 1t is then just right
for making the very best quality and
the largest quantity Of butter.

Undrawn Poultry.

One evidence OF the advancement. Of
the world Is the vigorous protest
against undrawn poultry. So intense
is the feeling that many Of the market
men in the large cities refuse to
handle poultry at any price unless
drawn. Here is one reform that
poultry breeders for market might
have reaped long ago, had they In
augurated it instead Of allowing ads
gusted public to find fault.
No poultry breeder ever made a
dollar by marketing undrawn poultry.
