NAUGHTY GIRLS " HO SWEAR
They Just Rip Out . Ood Oath
 When They Stub Their Toes


 When They Stub Their Toes. A complaint commonly made against fashionable girls is that they use slang bordering on actua lprofan- ity A maiden with brown eyes and rosy mouth crept close to a bashful young man at reception and said:
 "lf you'll never let on I'll tell some thing"
 The young man blushed and promis- ed never to break the confidence re- posed in him.
 Well, 1t s just this," said the girl. "When anything goes very wrong with me swear"
 The young man attempted to ob- serve that swearing in a pretty young lady was naughty, but he made a failure of it, and his companion went on talking.
 "More girls swear than you think just know any quantity of them that are positively shocking when they get provoked. My chum Mignon is really terrible sometimes I told her the other day that I would have to stop going with her if she didn t refrain from saying bad words. She couldn't miss a car, stub her toe, or burst button off her glove but she expressed herself most frightfully right before everybody. Now, it isn't nice, IS it, for a girl to use swear words? And it will really get to be q regular thing with us if we don't stop am already addicted to the habit Why, l broke he point of my thumb nail to-day, and when did 1t just let out good"
 What did yon say?" the bashful young man managed to ask
 "l said @ devil"
 The young man blushed a livelier red and asked the poor, forsaken girl ii he might get cup of chocolate for her York Sun.

Patriotic.

The attractions of foreign lands never displace his own country in tho atfec lions of the right-minded traveler. "Home is best" and We must always feel certain respect for patriotic en- thusiasm, This respect rises to admir- ation for the sentiment of the young American of whom the Albany Argus writes:
 A young lady of Seattle, who has been forwarding very interesting ac- counts of her travels in Europe to her friends at home, sent her last letter from Paris.
 She was enthusiastic over the French capital. and after saying everything else that she could in itsfavor, raptur- ously declared, ''To my mind 1t is ths Seattle of Europel"

Importance of Corn Husks.

Doubtless to most farmers the husk on corn as we'll as the chaff Of grain seems useless appendage. though apparently unavoidable. But when all corn and other grain grow wild the husk was a very necessary part of the plant, to preserve the seed from vicissitudes of weather until the time came for it to grow again. Corn in the husk and on the stalk dries out be- fore it's vitality can be injured by severe freezing. Tho lightest frost nips the husk. which thereafter dries up and forms a dry covering over the grain. It is for this reason rather than from mere shiftlessuess and lazi- ness. that many western farmers who grow dent corn leave 1t until nearly spring before they husk it If they threw bushels of wet ears in heap they would either rot down if the weather was warm or freeze so as to kill the germ during weather when the thermometer wont down to zero. But tho husk in cultivated corn each year grows of less importance as better means are devised for drying corn artihciallv. It Is likely that improved corn may bo bred with very few husks making the work of clearing them oil much less difficult

Shclter!ng Stock.


 We do not think 1t has been fully beat into the minds of a certa ip class of farmers yet. that shelter Is a neces- } sary condition of success in stock rais- ing. But the thinking and progressive farmer does not deny. but advocates the necessity of some sort of shelter for stock to protect them from the storms of winter and to save his feed. For it is a we'll established fact that 1t requires a certain amount of food to keep up the normal animal heat in horse. an OK. COW or any animal
 Now, II by reason of q lack of shell ter. more feed Is necessary to keep up this heat to a normal temperature it might have been saved if the animal was sheltered. Many farmers make a practice of letting their stock stand out all day in Il driving rain or blind- ing snow storm, and their barns emp ty of all stock. Such practice is ruinous; 1t is drain on the farmers income that he can in reality i'll af- ford. Even the '.south side of . straw stack" is very poor shelter; in fact as a rule. 1t is the poorest kind of shelter. How often do we see COWS and horses crawling up close to a stack, or by tho side of building. or in fence cor. ner for what poor shelter It will afford against the biting wip.ry blasts. Any man that will permit such thing ought to be put through the same pro- cess himself it would at least bring him to his Jec'ings fl not to his senses. In experiments that have been made, it has teeu proved that it has taken a very much greater amount of feed to keep the same stock in good condition when not sheltered than when 1t was; in some cases almost double the amount Any farmer had better keep less stock and shelter it better than to keep great amount and half freeze it to death

he window Is situated = that plenty

the window is situated ss that plenty of this comes in. the flower plants arc apt to be poor. weak and sickly lock- ing. The southern exposure is always the best. and all plants fond of much sunshise should be placed in a window fronting the south. The geraniums. heliotropes and lantanas always do the best when they have plenty of sunshine, and the southern exposure Is the best place for them. On the other hand. there are few flowers which cannot stand the warmth of the sun in midday. and yet they need it during part of the day. An eastern exposure Is best suited for such flow CTS, and next to the southern this Is the best side of the house for most indoor plants.
 The north window is only suited for such plants as need shade and moist ure, those which are grown for their foliage and not for flowers. The ferns, palms and lycopodiums do we'll in such place. The west window will only do for such flowers as need plenty of sunlight, and even then 1t is often necessary 10 shade them from the sun in the middle of the day by thin curtain. This is the warmest window of all but 1t is better than none. especially if the proper amount of shade Is given during tho warmcst part of tho day

Thcrc is one tree. however. which has been neglected in this country. and which, owing to its use fulness in tho arts and industrieA might be made very profitable.
 The basket willow is a tree that can generally command s fair price. and which may be grown us an adjunct to the farm.

 A SCARF PIN THAT PARKED.
Startling Effect Produced by .
 Novelty tn a Now York Club.

A member of one of the uptown clubs caused something of n sensation in the smokins-room of his club few nights ago. As he joined a group of of gentlemen 1t was noticed that he wore unique pin in his scarf.
 It was a large dog s head made of oxi- dixed silver. It's eyes were tiny dia- monds and it's mouth red enamel. While the wearers friends wers look ing at the pin and commenting upon it. tho red mouth of tho silver dog opened and Q succession of sharp barks issued thcrefrom.
 The effect was startling at first, but as the barking continued. several members of the club pressed about tho owner of the pin. curious to examine .'the new trick" The wearer of the decoration, after enjoying the sensation that he had created for while, unbut- toned his waistroat and disclosed long rubber tube attached to the pin on the under side of the scarf
 The tube extended down into one of the pockets of the gentleman's trous- ess. terminating in n rubber bulb. By repeatedly pinching the bulb. the wearrr of the pin was able to cause tine sound to issue from the dogs mouth. Thus does the Yaukes mind triumph sgain.New York Times.

Remedy for Burma

A celebrated remedy for burns is made as follows: Take fifteen ounces of the best white glue. break into small bits and soak in quart of water until soft Then dissolve by means of water bath. and add two ounces of glycerine and six drams of carbolic acid; continue the heat until thorough ly dissolved. Or cooling this hardens to an elastic mass covered with shin- ing. parchment-like skin. and may be kept for any length of time. When required for use it is placed for few minutes in R water bath until sufli- ciently liquid, and applied by means of a broad brush. It forms in about two minutes shining, smooth. fexi- ble and nearly transparent skin. This
 preparation costs but trine, and is easily kept at all times ready for use.

--~-=---------~ Planting frecs From Wood Lots.

In very many places young trees from wood lots are planted cut iu lawns and along roadsidos fov orua- ment. Very rarely do they prove satisfactory. Trees in woods are ten dor. because they have never been ex- posed to storms, as trees In open ground always arc. Hence when ex- posed to these new conditions they are apt :o die. Another reason for their failure Is that their roots rarely spread to great distance. They go down In much the same shape as tho tops of the trees go up. When exposed to winds their tall. slender tops bend over and prevent the roots from get ting firm hold of the soil. Cutting of the tops to QUO or two buds partly prevents this, but these trees ara never equal to forest seedlings grown in nursery rows. whose side roots are developed by frequent cultivation. The price that these seedlings bring is really cheaper than going to the woods and selecting trees without charge.

While it was an off year yet some Inn
portant elections were held on Tuesday.
The general result shows that the
Democrats did not loose much ground
from last year and made some very Inn
portant gains. James Campbell made
a gallant fight for reelection but being
loaded with a free silver plank and an
adverse majority Ohio elected VIM.
Mckinley governor by $4,000 majority
and the Republicans make great gains In
the legislature which will elect a Sena-
tor to succeed John Sherman.

cratic State by ~electing Roswell 2.

we'll in N. Y. City as expected, but ex-
ceeded expectations in Brooklyn and In
the country. The Assembly is Demo-
cratic and Senate Republican. The
Democrats have a majority on joint
ballot again.

reliable Republican states, has reflect
ed Russell, Dem. Governor by 1000
majority. The balance of the Republic
can ticket is elected and great Republi-
can gains in the Legislature.
Iowa reelected Boies, Dem. Governor
by 1900, on a platform which favored
the repeal of the prohibition law. The
Republicans have control Of the lower
house by a good majority and the
Democrats control the Senate by q
small majority.
The Republicans carried Chicago.

Maryland by 1900, a Legislature and
carry Baltimore.
Pennsylvania still stands by Quay
and elected a Republican Treasurer
