is far more often wrong than right.

utilization Of long French nails as lead
pencils. The ingenious mechanic hol-
lows out the nail. puts screw in the
head, and then, by putting a piece OF
graphite in the hollow stem, he has an
excellent pencil. The nail when pol
ished looks like silver, and the pencils
are in great demand.
News comes from New Ces,le, Pa.
that Joseph Martin, glassblower, is
engaged in series of experiments to
develop formula by which glass may
be hardened so as to endure great

made so hard that strong blacksmith
could not break 1t on an anvil.
Electrical fiat irons are now in the
market, or more correctly, irons heat

camphor industry will be more profit
able than that of sugar. 1t is said that
the camphor obtained from the Florida
trees approaches more nearly to that OF
Japan than to Chinese camphor, since
the odor OF safrol is distinctly recog-
nizable.
While preparing sheep brains for the
use OF the physiology class at Cornell
University Professor Wilder found ono
in which the coliseum, the great band
OF nerve-fbers connecting the two
cerebral hemispheres, was wholly
absent. Among the thousands Of
human brains examined, there have
been recorded only fifteen such cases,
mostly from persons Of feeble intellect.
From the lower animals the only
previous cases also occurred in the
anatomical laboratory OF this univers-
ity, viz: two kittens and cat, the latter
described and figured by Professor
Wilder in 1888.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
A BIT OF GOOD ADVICE ABOUT
MIXED FARMING.
The Question OF Poor or Rich sIiik-Ths
Degoneracy OF Pouitry--Aspara-
gus Beds--Pot Plants
q Household Matters.
Mixed Farming.

BY mixed farming we should under
stand that our operations are not con-
fined to one product, but embrace all
products that can be cultivated and
raised with profit. Almost every prod
uct OF the farm Is subject to failure
from various causes, drouth, frost,
blight, storms, etc. Every class OF
products has its peculiar enemies. The
potato bug attacks the potato, cut
worms the corn, lice the cabbage, Vice.
vii and fly the wheat, blight the pears,
rot the grape, etc.; but they do not
often occur the same season, and the
farmer who cultivates u variety need
not fear an entire failure. There are
always some good crops. Experience
and observation have taught that
it is not safe to rely upon limited
class OF products for series of con-
secutive years. 1t may do well enough
for short time. but sooner or later it
will fail. A very important consider
alton is, that mixed farming furnishes
constant and regular work through the
year. A farmer with II family OF boys
or n man hired by the year, should give
them constant employment. and this
can be done best by mixed farming.
Mixed farming is best for the land, as
it furnishes proper rotation for main
tanning fertility. One thing soon ex-
hausts the soil OF particular element
or elements. This policy confers tho
greatest amount OF happiness, 1t gives
additional thought and interest to tn,
mind, enlarges the sphere lof action
and stimulates mutual activity. BY
cultivating variety OF products.
farming is made more interesting.
The monotony of confinement to one
thing is relieved. The mind naturally
seeks something new and fresh. There
is disposition in many OF our youth
to leave the farm and go to the towns
or on railroads. There is u kind OF
romance abo.t railroading to many
young men. and it is frequently taken
out of them very suddenly when they
get between the bumpers or under the
wheels. Farmers should do all they
can to prevent their boys from leaving
the farm. Farmers sons ought 10
have chance to earn something for
themselves, to be cllowed to make
little ventures in stock-raising to fur
nish pocket money and to keep them
cOntented ut home.

DercneracY of Poultry.

The introduction OF new breeds OF
fowls is only temporary benefit, un-
less care is taken to breed them with
purity. or to cross only with design for
a specified purpose, and then killing
all these crosses so soon as their pur-
pose is accomplished. A great majority
Of complaints that hens do not pay
come from those who years ago used
crosses and have continued to breed
from them. Their progeny are poor
layers, subject to disease and generally
worthless. Returning to pure blooded
fowls is the only resource Of those
whose focks have got in this condition.

Hints to Housekeepers.

A drink which is very refreshing to
invalids is made from lime juice and
sugar.
A bullying appearance in the can, In
the case Of canned goods, is Indicative
OF decomposition of the contents.
Tea leaves are good to scatter over
carpets before sweeping, not only to
freshen the colors. but also to prevent
the dust from arising.
Rub together one tablespoonful Of
butter and three of -four. Roll this
into the upper crust Of pies; It will
render the crust flaky and tender.
After buttering the tins for layer
cake, give them n good sprinkling Of
flour. This will prevent the cake from
sticking to the tins, and little less
-four will be required in the making Of
the cake.
Hall teaspoonful Of sugar will
nearly always revive dying fire, and.
unlike the few drops OF oil which SER
wants are so fond OF using, and which
has caused 80 many sad accidents, is
perfectly safe.
A fresh egg will sink in water be-
cause Of the water in It. 1t will lie on
its side also rather than endwise.
Should the yolk be plainly distinguish
able upon being held up to strong
light, the egg is good.
In making custards and custard pies,
heat the milk to the scalding point, be-
fore adding 1t to the beaten eggs and
sugar; bake at once in hot oven.
The time required for baking them will
thus be reduced one-half.
Black satin can be stiffened by
sponging with vinegar and water, n
tablespoonful Of the former to pint
Of water. Sponge on the wrong side.
then more lightly on the right side
and press on the wrong. II there are
grease or other spots on 1t they may be
removed by the use OF alcohol and
ammonia in equal parts, diluting each
tablespoonful of the mixture with q
pint OF water.
To remove and prevent dandruff a
good wash is made from two ounces Of
pulverized borax, two ounces Of gum
camphor, broken In small pieces, one
quart Of boiling water. Bottle and
cork tightly. Before each time Of us
ing strain small quantity and dilute
with an equal portion Of water. Apply
to the head with flannel cloth or with
the hands. Wash the head and hair
afterward with soft water.

How should sh. Urea. Him,

One OF my girl correspondents has
written this; "A young man / have
known since was little child per-
sists in calling me by mr. first name
before entire strangers. and has q de-
cidedly unpleasant manner that would
suggest. to anybody who didn't know
us. either that was girl OF no re-
fnement or that / was engaged to be
married to him. and that his manners
were very bad. What shall / dop"
This Is what you shall do. You have
known the young man all your life;
the next time you see him tell him
you have something to say to him, and
set an hour when he shall pay you a
visit. or course, beforehand, tell
your mother all about 1t, and don't do
anything OF which she would disap-
prove. When he comes just state the
case to him plainly. quietly, and with
dignity. Tell him that it hurts you;
tell him that you can't permit it. and
in addition. that II he continues to
act as he does. unpleasant as 1t may
be, you will have to entirely drop his
acquaintance. II he is a gentleman,
who has been little thoughtless.
your first words will be enough, and
he will respect you all the more for
what you have said. II he is neither
gentle. nor man. but simply a rude
fellow, he will grow angry, and the
loss Of his acquaintance will mean
nothing to you. Harshp No. | don't
think so. 1t is these horrible little
familiarities of speech or action that
make other men think that they can
be equally familiar with you, and
your own self-respect demands that
you should act promptly and decis-
lively TT such time. Will you take
my adviceP can assure you it Is
good. Ruth Ashmore. in Ladies'
Home journal.

why weli-Fed stock Eat straw.

Surprise is often expressed at the
fact that the feeding Of the highly con-
centrated and heterogeneous foods results
with cows, horses and sheep in u great
deal moro grain straw being eaten.
Animals are wiser in this respect than
men and women, who will continue to
eat concentrated foods without desire
for change until digestion is destroyed.
When oil meal is given to stock instinct
teaches them to divide it and make it
more digestible by eating large
amount OF straw Thus straw which Il
not nutritious enough to keep any an.
NAL in good condition becomes the
necessary adjunct to the highest feed.

slim uIants for Pot Plants.

The successful florist has more faith
In giving stimulants when the plants
really need them than In keeping the
roots buried in soil made rich and
almost offensive by strong manure.
When roots nre few and the plants are
almost ut rest, tho purer the soil and
the less stimulant the plants receive,
the better will they thrive when their
roots come to draw up larger supplies
OF nourishment.
Moisture Is needed to soften the soil
and to allow the roots to extract nour-
ishment from IL, but when all the yir-
tue is out of the earth and the plants
begin to show signs OF distress, oil the
watering in the world will not give
vigor to the exhausted functions; but
let portion Of guano, or any we'll
prepared manure, DO mixed with the
water sufficient to color it, and let this
be repeated ut every watering, instead
OF giving much stronger dose at
longer intervals; the result will be
most satisfactory. The beneficial re-
suits obtained from manure water
when judiciously applied to lowering
and fruiting plants have long been
recognized by cultivators, and its use
Is now becoming more general.
A valuable liquid Is made by using
ammonia, putting about one teaspoonful
to two quarts of water when watering
the plants.

why Big Men Have Little wiv...

There is very general and ancient
impression that big men in choosing
wives prefer small women. At first
glance this would appear to be true.
because the number of big men with
little wives Is certainly in an over
whelming majority as we see them. In
the five years have held my Office l
have learned thing or two through
the medium OF the marriage license
Office. and it is my impression that it
is not that big men prefer little
women, but that little women prefer
big men, and 1t is the experience Of
the world-wise that what n woman
wants and starts out to get she gen.
orally captures. --Globe-Democrat.

A Warlika widow.

Widow Mary Bailey, who dwells by
herself in lonely house In the OUT
skirts Of Chester village. in the Con-
necticut valley, went into her bed
room to 60 to bed the other night, set
her lamp on a table, glanced at the
window, and saw an ugly looking face
glaring at her through pane. She
picked up the lamp, returned to the
kitchen, threw open the door. and
called: What do you want?'
Thereat the owner Of the face at the
window, burly tramp. advanced to
the door and strobe into the house.
What do you wantp" asked the
woman in a resolute tone.
II want something to eat, was the
reply, .'and l want it right of, too"
Whereupon Mrs. Bailey stepped
quickly into an adjoining room, re-
turned in a moment with big re-
volver that was cooked. lifted 1t to
her eye, sighted 1t at the tramp, and
said tersely. You get out!' The
tramp made a feint to buster. but
evidently didn't fancy the black muz-
zle of the weapon that confronted him.
and he backed out Of the house say
ing: "I'll be back here later with my
gang and do you up"
Mrs. Bailey locked the door, set the
lamp on the table near her, took a
seat near her kitchen window, and
waited several hours for her appoint
ment with 1.-THE gang" Finally. at
about midnight the tramp returned
and undertook to set fire to the house
but Mrs. Bailey opened window,
thrust her pistol across the window
ledge and invited her visitor to retire
again. He retired. Mrs. Bailey IL

About Poultry.

In the majority of cases It is the
early turkeys that are the most profit
able. Get the breeding stock needed
and feed them up to good condition
90 as to start the hens to laying early.
Early laying means early Matching.
A drawer Is good place to keep
eggs. A cool, dark place where they
can be kept at an even temperature,
and where they can be turned regular
ly and conveniently, will be found best
Clean straw makes one Of the very
best as well as cheapest materials that
can be used for lining the nests. II
should be changed often enough to
keep clean.
Better be little early than little
late. With poultry intended for early
market even few days difference will
often make considerable difference in
the profits.
II Is the little things connected with
the management Of poultry that largely
determines the amount Of profit. II Is
the constant care in looking after the
apparently little things that gives one
> profit where another loses.

To complete the ecstasy OF those
who believe In the degradation Of hui
man labor, says traveller, in Christian
at Work, need say that at Stockholm
the debasement OF woman is perhaps
more thorough and complete than in
any city Of northern Europep She,
here, practically supplants the beasts
OF burden. And am not altogether
unfamiliar with woman's work in
Europe. have seen her round the

land" filling blast furnaces and tend
ing coke ovens in sunny France" /
have daily watched her bearing the
heat and burden OF the day in the
fields OF the "Fatherland, and in
d Austria Hungary doing the work OF
man and beast on the farm and in the
mine.
have seen women emerge from the
coal-pits of '.busy Belgium" where
little girls and young women graduate
underground as hewers of coal and
drawers OF carts, for it is no uocom-
mon thing in Europe to hitch women
and dogs together, that manufacturing
may be done cheaply.
Aged. bent and sunburned, have
seen women, with rope over shoulders,
toiling on the banks OF canals and
dykes in picturesque Holland. Having
witnessed all this, was yet surprised
to find in city so beautiful and
seemingly so rich and prosperous as
Stockholm, women still more debased.
In Stockholm she Is almost ex-
iclusively employed as hod-carrier and
bricklayer's assistant. She carries
bricks. mixes mortar, and. In short,
does all the heavy work about the
building. At the dinner-hour you
see groups OF women sitting on the
piles OF wood and stones eating their
frugal repast. They wear short
gown, coming trifle below the knee,
with home-knitted woollen stockings
and wooden shoes. Over the head q
handkerchief is tightly tied. Those
engaged in mixing mortar and tending
plasterers wear aprons.
They are paid for a day OF hard
work Of this toll, lasting twelve hours
the magnificent sum Of one kroneS
equivalent to Is. 1d.).

years-one is about as good Us another

plenty OF manure in them mixed with
soil. Set the plants about twenty inches
apart diagonally in the trench and 1t
would be better, perhaps, to make It
two feet. Cover first with soil and then
manure each autumn and In the spring
