CUTTER.

The establishment of Cutting School
in Lehighton has been instrumental in
more fully arousing public sentiment upon
one vital question than has ever before
been aroused, namely:
"THE PRACTICAL EDUCATION
FOR WOMEN"
Appealing to your most candid iudg-
ment, parents, have you educated your
daughters in such manner that they can
earn good, honest living by their own ef-
forts, if such thing should become ueces-
sary, for little do any of us know what is
in store for us? 1t is refined accomp-
llsbment for any lady to be able to look af-
ter her own clothing and see that it is made
correctly and in becoming style, and there
is no education that prepares any lady for
the responsibilities and duties of life equal
to knowing how 10 construct her own
clothing properly,
II is only the second consideration con-
cerning this life's goods. The first is pre-
pairing our food properly, and next is our
clothing, and this is of the highest import
ance to all, and might mean very much to
some of our readers. 1t is an attested fact
that the Cutting School is harbinger of
good wherever established, and the price
of the thorough course of instructions giY-
EN- is merely nominal compared with its
great value which is clearly demonstrated
by the best judgment of some that have
already been doing good work with it, and
we cordially welcome any one to our In
struction Rooms to see and Investigate for
themselves.
Space only permits us to give the names
of few who take pleasure in speaking of
It's worth.

New Mexican Adobes.

Most of the native dwellings around the
city and throughout New Mexico are built
of mud bricks, called ''adobes." Mixing
a little broken straw with the soil, rough
blocks, about twice the size of ordinary
bricks, are nodded, dried in the sun and
piles up in the form of wall, with spaces
high up for door and windows. After
the wall is dry, it is smeared over, inside
and out, with a thin paste of earth and
water, smoothed with the palms of the
hands.
The roof is formed of rough timbers
covered with boards, on which is spread
dry earth to the depth of twelve inches or
more. The intense heat of the sun speed
lily consolidates the mass, and rude cutters
are made to carry off trorical rains. Ac-
cess is gained by q ladder, as the fiat roof
is used for drying fruit and grain, and for
a lounging place for the family.
The rooms are gloomy, because the
apertures serving for windows are very
small. The earthen floor is covered with
skins, which, with blankets, furnish the
beds. The cooking utensils are primitive,
and the culinary art, such as it is, is prac
tised out of doors.
In nearly every house will be found a
board few inches square, on which is
depicted saint, or group of saints, usu
ally in red or yellow; for intense colors
are much admired, as in all lands of the
sun. This is seen also in the dress and in
general ornamentation.-N. Y. Journal

A Wonderful Petrifactlon.

Joseph Sweshenger, who resides near
Stanford, writes to The Riyer Press par
ticulars of a wonderful discovery he re-
Gently made in an unfrequented mountain
near his residence. The discovery con-
sists of petrifed man, with all his limbs
in perfect state of preservation. The
body stands by massive bowlder, of
which it seems to have become part and
cannot be removed without considerable
labor and expense. A tiny stream of
water, flowing from spring above, falls
directly upon the head of the body, and,
after passing over it, loses itself in the sur
rounding rock.
The body measures feet and 8 inches
from the crown of the head to the soles of
the feet, and is well proportional, the
chest and limbs being of ponderous width
and size. The features are of severe
Roman type, surmounted by broad, high
forehead and luxurious growth Of hair,
which is as firm as rock itself. A beard
reaching to the waste completes picture
which inspires feeling of awe and rever-
ence in the beholder. Certain hieroglyph-
les are cut upon the rock, true copy Of
which Mr.. Sweshenger pom. .5os TO send

The Successful Man.

True success is not stumbled upon acct
dentally, or obtained by ca-elessness or
| lazily waiting for something to ''turn up. "
Neither is it obtained by rascality, cheat
ing or dishonesty. 1t may be possible to
gain fortunes by dishonest means, such as
cheating, overreaching, gambling, ETC.,
but in gaining the money, character is lost,
self-respect is lost, and the respect of good
men is lost. This loss greatly overbaIances
the gain; fora no amount Of money can
compensate for the loss of character. And,
moreover, riches won by questionable
methods seldom remain very long in the
possession of the winner.
| There is but one sure road to true sue
cess in life, and that is by honest, square
dealings and patient industry.
| The foundations for successful man
hood are laid during boyhood and youth,
by acquiring habits of industry and hon
esty, as well as the knowledge and ex-
perience necessary for the particular pro-
fession, business or occupation chosen.
The boy who denies himself some of the
things frequently coveted by boys, in order
to be punctual and obliging; who always
seeks to advance his employers interests
scrupulously honest, even in little things
es"S WIN ooOo Aob A1oiuCut tuO
saloon or gambling house, is in demand,
and never in want of employment. Such
boys, nine times out of ten, make success
full men.
The same characteristics are found in
the successful man. Nine times out of
ten he is found to be punctual, obliging
and strictly honest. He does not drink to
excess, or practice gambling.
1t may be possible for young man of
brilliant talents to succeed for a time in
profession, or even in business, and in
dulge to some extent in the vices men
toned above; but the success is only for
time. Sooner or later the habit of drink
or gambling, or both, will become so alb
sorDing as to unfit the man for success, and
his clients, patients or customers will
gradually desert him for some one else.
AS proof of this, we point to the thou
sands of instances where brilliant young
men have started in professional or BUSH
ness life with brilliant prospects, but by
indulgence in drinking or gambling have
ruined their prospects, and have had the
modification of seeing their mediocre
competitors gradually moving on to sue
cess and honor, while they are left behind
Let every young man who wants to win
true fame or wealth, that will bring peace
to his old age, remember these things, and
avoid the dangerous rocks upon which so
many have stranded, and seek to form
habits that will make and not mar their
future. -Erchanqe.

Old ime Whippings.

"a boy cannot be whipped smiss," said
schoolmsster of the olden time 'be-
cause if he has not just done piece of
mischief, he is just going to do it." In
the days of the school tyrant, the cane,
the rattan and the "clapper" were in
almost hourly use.
The author of "Sketches of Brookline'
describes the ''clapper," the principal in
strument of punishment used by Master
Adams, teacher who made his mark on
his pupils.
1t was a circular piece of leather, three
quarters of an inch thick and five inches
in diameter, with a round hole in the CEN
ter. stout leather handle, flexible and
stiff, two feet long, was attached to the
circular piece. and made it suitable for
spanking. Master Adams kept this 'scap-
per at the boarding house, where the first
culprit in the morning was sent to bring
it, that he might, while on the way,
reflect on what was in store for him.
Another instrument of torture, the
"unipod," suggested by the Latin tripod
was stool with only one leg, and that in
the middle. On this the offender was
seated, and of course had to strain his
muscles to prevent gravitation bringing
fall.
On long, low seat in front of the first
row of desks sat the little ones, ranging
from 5 to 6 years of age, who were
called up once in the forenoon and once in
the afternoon to name the letters of the
alphabet. The rest of the time they were
expected to ''sit up straight and keep
STILL" something which no bright healthy
child is able to do, even for an hour.
One day the little children disturbed the
master by their uneasiness. He laid one
child face downward on the platform
floor. Another and another was laid
beside him, then others piled upon them,
till he had made pyramid, with the
greatest rogue on top. Then he seized
the ''clapper" and applied it to the top
most child, while groans and cries in
every key proceeded from the squirming
pile.
The public opinion which in these days
hardly tolerates the modern whipping of
children, is revulsion from the cruel
whippings of modern generation. The
present may be weak the old method
was certainly unjust, not to say barbarous.

CHAPTER VIII.
THE STUDIO.

The frst important step Oren Tides
made looked very foolish for small, every
day place like White Hall. But his self
confidence assured him of success, and he
asked for no more. In two small rooms
over DIR. Miller's office he opened his sstu-
dio of music
The front room was small, square
chamber senarated from the front
by wall of curtains.
It had just been deserted by lawyer
whose business had proven dead letter,
and the walls bore traces of tobacco and
coal smoke Its two windows looked out
upon back street, inhabited by negroes
and worthless whites.
A long rustic table, the full length of
the room, held his various musical instru-
ments and collection of songs.
A small round table occupied the space
between the windows, and directly above
it hung large oil painting, painted by q
young lady he met in the East--a young
artist, not famous but ambitious
The picture represented an old attic
with spinning wheel sitting idly in the
corner, an old tea kettle near by, and q
young girl dreamily viewing the scene.
A small attic window was shown through
the dust and cobwebs, and beyond it lay q
broad, fiat landscape lit up by the setting
sun. This, in gilt frame, only helped to
make the walls to appear more dingy.
But he kept it there that the memory Of
Blanche Sharp might not depart from him.
The windows had dark brown curtains,
and the floor carpet of the same shade.

Agricultural Notes.

Eggs should be kept cool and dry until
marketed.
Bone dust or ground bone is excellent
for chickens.
Prune the grape vine early if you intend
to prune at all.
Plant seeds of all garden vegetables as
| fast as possible.
Judicious pruning will prevent young
trees from overbearing.
The grapes you grow yourself taste
better than those you buy.
| Kansas farmers are planting more large
| ly of katfir corn for fodder.
| All corn land not already planted should
be planted as early as possible.
In order to receive the best prices send
your poultry to the market fat
Melons may be planted now and the fer
tilizers used should be well rotted.
Prure your fruit trees judiciously, but
do not give them reckless pruning.
Oats and rice are excellent for fowls
fed with boiled Irish potatoes there is
nothing better.
Young poultry should be well fed and
kept in growing state all the time until
ready IOr MARKET.
Guinea fowls are not good for the mar
ket, but are great egg producers during
the spring months.
One cannot learn too much about dairy
ing. Those who give the business close
attention succeed best.
Study up on entomology. Keep your
premises free from insects that are de-
structive to your fruits.
Turnips and potatoes chopped and mixed
with straw is an excellent food for milk
stock during the winter months.
The okra plant is now spoken of as
rival for jute. The fiber is said to bs
superior and cost of production less.
Strive to produce the very best varieties
of fruits and vegetables take particular
pains in marketing them, and you will get
the top price.
The farmer who does not take care of
his stock or farm implements does not act
with consistency when he makes great
ado against the tariff.
Corn and oatmeal and chopped meats,
mixed with milk and boiled, to which
little charcoal should be added, makes an
excellent food for turkeys.
Farmers should organize for social. for
intellectual and for financial benefit They
should do practical work in improving the
mind and heart and in helping each other
to make better farmers and better citizens.
Fix up your premises beautify your
home have nice lawn mower aud use
it; plant flowers and ornamental trees as
we'll as fruits. There is nothing that
adds more to the beauty of home than
flowers in the front yard.
An exchange advises the farmer to
keep strict account with his orchard and
garden. He can't do it, for if he did he
would have to give it credit for the doc
tors bills, which would perhaps have to
be paid, if he did not have an orchard and
garden, and he can't tell exactly how
much they would be.
An apple tree will bear apples cher
ry tree will bear cherries pear tree
pears, etc Stick them down in the
ground and let them grow. Plow as
close to them as you can, and skin the
trees up with trace chains then at the
end of three years curse the country and
say it's no good for fruit. If your neigh
Dor suggests to you to study fruits, and
advises you to take good paper, tell him
you haven't time to fool with such mat

COMING INTO CHURCH.

Did you ever see them coming into church 6
Andattempt to read their temper by the nature
of their gait?
TITS very pleasing study, and you'll find il
worth your while,
To observe these people walking up the carpet
covered aisle.
; First there comes, perhaps, an aged, bent and
sober featured man,
Whose uncertain shutting indicates as plainly as
it can
That he is weary, weary, weary, and is haunted
by dread
That the next time he'll be carried, carried up
the church aisle dead.
Next behind him comes a lady, checks little
sunken now,
Streaks of white on hair and ages tell tale
wrinkles on her brow;
But her walk is slow and stately, and It plainly
seems to say:
"Oh, we toiled and saved when younger; were
enjoying it to-day
Then there is a married daughter, and her Ian
guild step betrays
Her uneasiness beneath the craning, concen-
trated gaze,
While her far out swinging dress skirts are de-
claring it shame
To come into church so tardily, but she is not to
blame.
She has children, and they follow, clinging one
to either hand,
And they stumble, looking choirward, asking,
MA, is that the band!''
But she holds them up, and stoopilg, softly tells
them to be still,
Thinking, I'll not be so late again-contwisted
if will!''
Then comes younger sister tripping lightly
down the aisle,
Resting on her proudly-tossing head hat of
latest style,
And the meaning of her manner is, Il wish that
fathers pew
Was a little further forward; then I'd longer be
in view!''

A Royal Potato Seller.

The tradesmen to royalty are entitled to
put the royal arms over their shops, and
those of the Prince of Wales have the
right to show his three upright feathers in
the same way. One night the Prince of
Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh were
returning hcme rather late. When they
passed Joe, the well known 'stater" man
in Pail Mall, they took a fancy to taste his
wares and were accommodated by Joe with
a red hot baked potato from the can, for
which they paid a penny each and pro-
ceeded on their way. Joe had recognized
his customers, and on the next day his
"tater can" was decorated with glaring
gilt sign showing the three feathers, and
the legend, "Purveyor to a. R. Il. the
Prince of Wales" He stationed his appa-
ratus oppose the Marlborough house, to
the princes mingled amusement and dis
may. The prince sent an equery to order
him away, but Joe refused to bulge, and
kept on doing rushing business. At last
the prince ordered Sir Francis Knollys to
buy him off, and the feathers were re-
moved -Detroit Nesos.

An Example of Good Farming.

John Robertson, of Henrietta, n. Y. is
a Scotchman who came to this country
upwards of forty years ago. Like most
other old country farmers he brought
some good ideas relative to farming, and
among them was true conception of the
importance Of tile draining. He was at
first stock buyer, purchasing and sell
ing beeves, and in some cases fattening
and killing them. He bought small
place, which he soon brought into high
state of cultivation. Then he sold it at
about double the price he paid, and
bought larger farm in the same neigh
borhood. No one can talk with Mr.
Robertson, even for half an hour, without
learning much about farming and the
management and feeding of cattle. 1t has
been hard work to make beef feeding pay,
but Mr.. Robertson finds his profit now in
the manure pile, which he carefully uses
for the improvement of his farm, which,
being near Rochester, is constantly growa
ing more valuable.-Farmers Magazine.
