She was bright and shining light,
may be truthfully said of Sister Evans.
who died at her he me in this county
July 25th, 1891. She had just reached

mother, two sisters aud four brothers
to mourn her loss; but she is gone, cut
down in the prime of life, in the ma
turiJy of her young womanhood. She
yields up her life to Him who gave it.
She was loved by ali who knew her,

wood Church.
We extend our deepest sympathy to
the bereaVed family and relatives.

Sleeves That Are Admirable.

The most picturesque sleeve of today,
and yet the one which seems 10 have found
the fevest number of admirers, is the per
feet alois sleeve, says Miss Mantalini in
The Pail Mall Budget. Sarah Bernhard
appreciates its beauty; so does Mrs. Lang
try. 1t is slightly full on the shoulders,
though raised a very little; shapes in at
the elbow; fits the arm quite closely, but
easily; comes down in point over the
hand, The end of the point being just where
the diInples are.
\ long sleeve makes the hand look tiny;
an elbow sleeve cuts off the best part of
woman : arm, shows that which is usually
the worst, and certainly does not decrease
the size of the hand; the short puff sleeve
that permits the shoulders to show above
it is for evening a most desirable style,
whether the arm be a plump or a slende'
one. / the arm is slender the glove can be
worn 10 cover the elbow and then the
plump part of the arm would he visible
But happy is the woman who has arms like
Mrs. kendal-white, firm, and shaped like
those that might have belonged to Venus.

Prosperity from the Foreign Market.

The New York Press, one of the fore
most protection organs of the country,
prints an editorial on "Signs of Pros
perity," our increased exports of bread
stuffs being the particular sign which it
refers to. 1t calls attention to the fact
that in June, 1890, our exports-of bread
stuffs amounted to so, 1885, oil worth,
while in June of this year we exported
$13, 199, 494 worth.
The Press is undoubtedly right in re-
garding increased exports of corn, wheat
and -four as sign of prosperity, but in
taking this sensible view of the matter it
sets itself against candidate Mckinley
and his hobbies. This protectionist leader
takes every occasion to belittle the for
eign market, and he even reproaches the
Democrats for encouraging the exports
of farm products. Here are his famous
words in his tariff report:
1.-The worlds market to which the
advocates of tariff for revenue only in
vite the farmers of this country, is today
crowded WITH the products of the cheap
est human labor the earth affords. All
over the Old World there is rush of
their surplus to that market, and it is to
such a contest as this that free trade
would allure American agriculture"
Mckinley words mean that our farm
ers would be better off if they did not ex-
port anything at all, if law were passed
forbidding exports of farm produce, and
making it thereby necessary to keep at
home $685., 900, 600 worth of such produce
to force home market prices to lower
point than has ever been heard Of
The protectionists ought to agree upon
some view of the farmers foreign market
and stick to it. With Robert p Por-
ter's New York Press pointing to it as
source of prosperity for our farmers,
with james G. Blaine demanding "a
market for another bushel of wheat and
another barrel of pork" and with Can
didate Mckinley quarreling with the
Democrats for insisting upon the impor-
lance of that market, can any farmer tell
what the protection party does believe
about the foreign market.

In mating these birds George Bacon
tells in Poultry in California that one
should he very careful. Do not mate all
dark and all light ones together. If a
specimen Is too light to suit you use 1t as
a test of their table qualities. The
standard requires that they be about
evenly divided in color. if anything thu
black predominating, and as they grow
lighter with age one must take this into
consideration when mating them. A
pullet three-fourths black will mott 10
the regulation color, therefore we should
mate one of this color with male of
standard color or little darker: hens
of standard color or a little darker to a
cockerel one-fourth white, and so on in
this proportion, as they will get light
soon enough. All males should have
small combs, well formed crest and good
broad breast. Be very particular with
the feet and legs. The females should
have large crest of good color, small
comb. large beard, full breas: and good
feet and toes.

The Weight of Corn.

The amount of corn of various kinds
required to produce shelled bushels of
fifty-six pounds has been subject of in
vestigation by Professor Morrow, of the
Illinois station. After tests of the
weight of corn ears he found that seven
ty pounds of the early. seventy-three of
the medium and seventy-eight of the
late maturing varieties would produce
each, when fresh, bushel of air dry
shelled corn by the end of October
There has been found quite variation.
however, in seasons, and more differ
ence in wet seasons than in dry ones,
sometimes varying nearly 20 per cent. in
the latter sorts which do not ripen dry
The earliest varieties will, of course,
have better chance to become hard and
dry than the later and more succulent,
and there will be a difference greater in
more northern regions than under a
longer and hotter sun farther south.
Farmers who have occasion to measure
or estimate corn in the ear may easily
make tests by weighing freshly husked
ears, and again in winter and again the
next summer, and may ascertain what
may be of Importance to them when
dealing in large quantities.

What Pauper Labor Gets.

The high duty on tin plate, it is pre-
tended, is rendered necessary by reason
of the ''pauper wages" of Wales. But a
Welsh manufacturer, Mr.. S. Lippmann,
has recently told representative of the
New York trade paper, Hardware. that
in the tin plate mills of Wales unskilled
labor is paid from 81 to S1.25, while
skilled labor gets s. day.
Men getting these wages are not starry
ing, nor are they eating meat only once
a week. OF course wages with us are
somewhat higher, but, as Mr.. Lippmann
says, the Welsh workmen fear to come
to this country on account of the higher
cost of living. Clothing and house rent
would cost them much more here than
In Wales, and so would many kinds of
food. 1t is not to be wondered at
that Mr.. Lippmann says Welsh work
men will hesitate to leave their native
country.

It Is Still the Foreign Market That In

Our exports of breadstuffs in June
amounted to 3,199, 494, against $10,-
S35, oil in the same months of 1890. For
the twelve months ended June 80, the
exports of breadstuffs were as follows:
Wheat, 5f,201, 2Sa bushels; corn, &C.,
1914 $50 bushels; wheat -four, II ,007 ,63S
barrels; corn meal, 314, 1893 barrels; oats,
916,323 bushels; oatmeal, 7,719,S77
pounds; barley, 966,079 bushels; rye,
S32, 739 bushels; total value, 1928, 1885,
AIS. The total value of the exports of
breadstuffs in 1890 was $3.50, 690,033.
The smaller exports for the year
ended June 80, 1891, We're due solely to
the fact that our crops We're short last
year, not to any lack of demand in
European markets. In fact, the Euro
pean demand has compelled our home
markets to bid higher for wheat and
corn, and this has been a powerful
cause of the recent higher prices here.
The prospect now is that there will be
such an enormous demand in Europe for
our breadstuffs this year that our ex-
ports will be the largest in the history of
the country. Already it is feared that
the railroads will not be able to move
the wheat crop to the seaboard as fast as
the foreign ships call for it.
Under these circumstances our farm
ers will learn, as they have never
learned before, the immense value of the
foreign market. They will realize in a
most forcible way the importance of
market to take their surplus produce,
and thus maintain prices in the quickly
glutted home market.
While the farmers are thus rejoicing
in the prospect of a renewed prosperity
to come to them, largely from the foreign
market, there Is only one man of nation
al reputation in this country who tries to
belittle thai foreign market and who
pretends to believe that our farmers
would do better not to try to compete in
that market at all. That man is Major
Mckinley.
In his tariff report last year he re-
preached tho Democrats in the following
style for insisting upon the Importance
of our farmers foreign market: The
worlds market TO which the advocates
of tariff for revenue only invite the
farmers OF this country, is today
crowded with the products of the
cheapest human labor the earth affords
All over the Old World there is a rush
of their surplus to that market, and it is
to such contest as this that free trade
would allure American agriculture"

Language in Sealing Wax.

The language in sealing wax is practiced
by those who are seutimentally inclined.
An epistle conveying a proposal of mar
rage must be sealed with white wax,
while accepted lovers may use ruby color.
Jealousy is expressed by yellow wax, blue
implies const ancy and brown melancholy;
green suggests hope and paler shade of
green conveys reproof. A letter of condo
lence should bear violet seal in reply to
the black wax intimating death, and the
ordinary scarlet hue is still used for bust
ness. Invitatio to dinner display choco-
late seals. lshing young ladies fasten
their condolences with pink, and gray is

Their Leading Observation-Disclosures
for Mating These Birds.
The Houdans were named for the little
town of Houdan in France 1t is not
certainly known how they originated.
]. K. Fetch thinks there Is no doubt
that they sprung from a cross of the
black Polish and the colored or white
Dorking. They have the fifth toe of the
Dorking and conformation of body be-
tween the two breeds. The posterior
weight in them is very much greater
than in the Polish. This, he says, has
come from an Asiatic source. as indi-
Gated in the feathered legs sometimes
seen, but he fails to state which of the
Asiatics. Another supposition was that
they originated in a flock of native fowls
belonging to gardener, who. taking
great liking to them, kept them away
from his other fowls and kept improving
them as best he could under such cir
cumstances. However, be that as it
may, the farmers of France took hold of
them, and today they are the most popu-
lar breed in that country.
The Houdans We're first imported to
the United States in 1866, and we have
yards Of Houdans now that will COM
pare with any in the world. Their
plumage is made up of black and white;
the large crest and muff present very
pretty appearance on a green lawn.
They are fine table fowl. having fine,
close grained meat and lots of it. 1t is
claimed by some that they will dress
one-ffth more than any other fowl of
the same live weight. The cock
should weigh seven pounds, the cock
erel six pounds, the hen six pounds
and the pullet five pounds. They
are also good egg producers. laying the
largest egg of the nonsetting breeds,
and they lay during the year nearly as
many as the Leghorn. The Houdans bear
confinement well, but when given their
liberty will forage and pick mp their liv-
ing equal to turkeys. Both as fowls and
chickens they are hardy. The chicks
feather well and grow very fast.
