A French Heroine.

A splendid heroine is Sister Marie The
rese, the superior of the Sisters of Mercy,
now in Tonkin, who was lately created a
knight of the Legion of Honor, the
Governor G General drawing his sword in
presence of the assembled garrison and
lightly touching the shoulder of this ven
erable and devoted lady thrice with the
glittering weapon as he pronounced the
stirring words. sin the name of tho
French people, in the name of tho French
army, l present you with this Cross of
Honori No one has more glorious claims
to this reward, as no one has more than
YOU devoted a whole life to the service
of the country" The troops were then
ordered to "present arms" and the cere-
mony concluded as impressively as it had
begun. The Governor-General was not
indulging 10 any figure of speech when
he thus addressed this heroic lady, for
such record as hers is not an ordinary
one. Sister Marie Thercsc had barely at
tained her twcnty-sixth year when shc
was wounded at Balak.ava as she was
tending the troops on that memorable
battlefield. The Italian campaign was
her next experience, and again She was
wounded at Magenta, in the forefront of
Tie TeHCu army. III Syiio, h' Shiho ohNs
| in Mexico she was at her post alleviating
the sufferings of the sick and wounded ;
but the most splendid achievement of all
was at Reicnshofen. On that field
which the French remember with pride,
calling to mind the gallant behavior OF
their curiassiers-Sister Marie Therese

having fallen close to the ambulance en-
trusted to her care, she took the missile
up and carried it to some distance, whel
it burst, again wounding her severely
She had hardly recovered from these ter
rible injuries when she was summoned ~, =
Such is the woman whose heroism h'
been publicly recognized, just as she ha
attained the age of three-score years an

THE PROPER CARE OF A COLT.

We will start with the sucking Mt tho
day of its birth, and presume that 1T Is OF
good parentage, both sire and dam, that
It is sound and able to stand and walk
within fifteen minutes after it breathes.
At the age of a week most farmers come
to work the dam and let the sucking
follow around as best he can, and ut the
age Of four months, the colt being then
of sufficient age to wean, the dam mas
| performed d good summers work, worked
lust as hard AS her gelding mate with no
colt. This method is entirely wrong.
The heated blood, tiresome labor of both
mare and colt is really killing both.
The mare and colt during the first
four, five or six months should be kept
in good pasture where there IS plenty OF
good water and shade. While it may be
practicable to wean the colt at foul
months, we certainly prefer six, and now
comes the most important period OF the
entire five years of the colts growth, and
if starved or stunted the first winter il
never fully RECEIVERS. Not only the size,
but the whole frame of the animal Is In
jured, never to be regalned.
The colt should be fed on plenty o
good, clean nay, plenIy vi wa'et aI 4"
times, and we would give half and hal
of ground oats and wheat bran twice
day, about two quarts at mess. We
give this dry, but if scalded and the'
cooled it will be better. A well-to-d
farmer told me once, this would be to-
{ much; think he was right for the frs
, week or two, but certainly not for tn
coio winter onyo, uor'<s-- -rri~ss eithe,

MAKING PORK TOO FAT.

The evil of overwhelming pork is less
common than it used to be. Two reasons
have combined to make lean meat more
popular. The doctors taught that it was
more healthful and nutritious than the
time the use of
other oils decreased the price Of lard so
that cSccssivc rat pork was nci,nnr Pron,-
able nor needed. The change in ways Of
feeding has also had something to do
with making pork more wholesome. Corn
is no longer the exclusive food even for
fattening. The best practice now is to
feed the rations that will make hogs grow
and keep thrifty from the time it is born
until it is killed. There may be eXcep-
tions to this in animals kept for breeders
but all others should be fat enough for
use from the time they arc the right size
for roasting. BY the liberal use of milk
oatmeal and peas growth is promoted,
along with mt all times enough fat to
make delicious pork, far better than that
made by starving the animal while young,
and over feeding with corn as they be-
come older.

than. This is best done by inclosing in
q small yard where they can obtain little
exercise and feeding literally with mixed
grain, corn, oats and wheat, with occa-
sionai rations of boiled potatoes or other
vegetables, chopped apples, etc. but
right here is where the greatest caution
must be exercised, or you will Kill the
entire lot in less than week. When a
fowl is being fattened remember that 1t
must have plenty of coarse gravel broken
crockery or glass to enable it to grind
the increased quantity of food you give
it. And also It must have abundance OF
purc water. With sufficiency of these
requisites, and a variety of food, fowl
will fatten nicely in about two weeks,
and will then sell for the top prices, while
n common, skinny Gull will not fetch
enough to pay for catching it.-Eram

RELfEF-MoNEY WASTED.

The Cincinnati 7imes-Sfar reports a
gentleman from w Washington, who, as men,

committees during the yellow fever vista
tion in Florida, and at Johnstown, PENN,
after the. flood, as saying that "a great part
of the funds contributed by the public for

used in constructing a saloon, and the first
dozen new buildings erected were saloons

SMUT IN WHEAT.

Smut in wheat was once great cause
of loss and complaint, and it was found
that the smut increased when smutty
seed was used. 1 found by making a
strong brine with blue vitriol dissolved
in it, putting it in tub large enough to
hold = tight basket in which the seed
wheat was placed-the wheat stirred and
skinned, then raised out of the brine
and allowed to drain, when it was poured
out or put in bags and so remained twelve
to tweuty -four hours, and then sown in
the usual manner. never found this to
fail rs remedy in wheat. The strong
brine was useful TO float out light and
probably diseased grains, and also to per
fcctly introduce the vitrioi to all The
grains of wheat. Two years ago, think
ing of this, poured my seed corn on th'
floor and poured among it a solution o
blue vitriol and gave it good stirring
But it will be seen that that way of ap
plying the vitriol did not surely rcacl
every grain Tho result was much les
smut than in former years.-Hodrd'

saws Of the effects Of alcohol on the mind:
1t isone OF the curious errors that alcohol
stimuhtes the imagination, and gives a
cleare, more practical insight into the rela-

rouse. up by the increased circulation of the
bloodin the brain is not imagination; it Is
not asuperior insight or conception OF the
reluton of events, but is a rapid reproduc-
