No Longer an Experiment.

The higher education of woman, as 1t is called. is already here. The eS- pertinent, if so we may term it, is now going on in many places and on scale of great magnitude. IL is set- tied for the time being, at least. that their education is to be substantially the same as that of young men. They are receiving no quarter in the lists. but are boldly competing with their brothers for the prize of scholarship and intellectual supremacy. All told. there are today thousands of girls under collegiate instruction and con- tending for scholastic degrees; and sta tistics show that they are strong in the battle. It used to be prophesied that women would loose tho loveliest Qual- ities of womanhood in the strife and pursuit. but the event has proved that such baleful predictions were without justification. Of course it is so. Whether women compete with men in trade and industry. in public life, in platform debate, or in the realm of knowledge and learning, they retain and never lose or impair the charm and the power of their womanhood. The more they can do and know. the more attractive they become to men. and the moro they dominate their af- fections.
 The only danger is that they will be driven too hard because of their will lingness, their spirit of emulation. and their conscientiousness. They are so eager to get ahead and to escape from old-time conventional restraints that they need rather to be curbed than spurred. They will win the race more surely if they make an easy start. N '.

A Tree That Smokes.

Newton, q vigorous mountain town west of Charlotte, N. C.. has curiosity that beats by large majority the rain Charlotte in 1866. It is smoking tree. and baflles all efforts at explana- tion. It is white mulberry tree. and stands on the sidewalk in front of the residence of Levi Yoder
 According to the description in the Richmond Times it was brought from Illinois year or two ago and is now about twelve feet high, with a bushy top and many lateral branches. Re- gently one of the family noticed puff of smoke proceed from one of the limbs, and by watching it closely purs identical in appearance to cigarette smoke were seen starting every now and then from all over the tree, sometimes from the leaves. sometimes from tho bloom, sometimes from the bark of tho tree. The puffs are at irregular inter- vals; sometimes two or three at once from various parts of the tree and sometimes they are several seconds or half minute apart. They just seem to come at haphazard from any part of the tree, and as they ascend in the air look exactly like the smoke from q cigarette.
 Since the curiosity first became gen. erally known. large crowds, both of town and country people. can be seen there at any time in the day. All doubting Thomases are soon convinced. on the first visit that the tree do smoke" Among the white people 1t is only looked upon as curiosity. aud many of course make explanations of the phenomenon, which, perhaps. are plausible enough to their authors. but which carry very little conviction to the minds of others.
 But the negroes didn't like the thing at all One negro woman. after in- tently watching tho putrs few min utes. started off in run. saying: II would't lib dar fur nothing' people better go to doin' better bout dis town. :" A negro man said: I'm gwine stay way from dat thing. can smell de birthstone clear down to the hbery stablen

Astounding Ignorance.

It is astonishing, nay. more, it is really astounding. the extent to which men of ordinary intelligence depend upon that which is not food to correct in their stock the results of a vicious system of feeding and handling. This thought is suggested by request made to an exchange by Missouri farmer. asking If it would be good plan to throw lime into the pond from which he takes his water for stopping swine. What he wished to accomplish by do- ing so. he does not say, but he was evi- dently possessed with the idea that lime was a medicine and that hogs need medicine. When men are willing to study right foods and proper methods of feeding and of keeping. as much as they now study how to obviate the i'll effects of their improper and unphilo- sophie methods, they will think less of lime or any poison called medicine. than now. The Rural World holds that breeders may. if they will. so feed and otherwise treat their farm stock as to keep it in health. that they can SO breed and feed as to keep everything vigorous, thrifty and healthy. and build up such constitution as to even enable all kinds of stock to be almost impervi- ous to contagious diseases.

 Slowly he walks back toward tho smokhg-room, her last words ringing ill his ears" Remember your duty to another" What other? He is puzzled, but. reaching the window of the room, he dismisses these thoughts from his mind, and determines to get rid of his guests without delay, so as to be able to enjoy little quiet and calm for re- tiection.
 They are all noisily discussing sui eide that has recently taken place in a najphbOriOp cpuOty and which had from it's peculiar circumstances, caused more than usual interest.
 One of the guests tonight is an army surgeon, and he is giving them an ex- planation as to how the fatal wound had been inflicted. It appeared at the inquest that the unfortunate man had shot himself in peculiar manner as to cause considerable doubt as to whether he had been murdered or had died by his own hand. Evidence, however, of | most convincing nature had con- tirmed the latter theory.
 Captain Ringwood, with a revolver in his hand, is endeavoring to show that the man could not have shot him. self, just as Adrian re-enters.

Feeding Hogs For Lean Meats.

It is cheaper to produce meat that contains large proportion of lean with the fat than to fatten hog to such condition as to fit 1t only for the production of lard, and it is fact that feeding for lean meat greater weight of carcass is secured. and at no more expense than in producing an ex- cess of fat. This is explained by reason of the fact that when an animal is given food containing the clements of growth of bone and muscle as well as of fat, the condition of the animal Is sustained in manner to permit more perfect digestion and assimila- tion, and B greater proportion for the support of the system of the nutritious elements that are required. and which are more evenly distributed through the body instead of the semi-diseased condition produced when corn is given as an exclusive diet.
 Hence the farmer who diminishes the ration of corn allowing but DOT tion only, substituting therefor bran, middlings, milk and clover-cut fine and scalded--will have his hogs larger. heavier. healthier and of better quality of flesh than from corn. While giving the advantages of systematic method of feeding for the best results in pro ducing the heaviest pork the fact that prime lard brings price that makes it desirable on the part of the farmer to have his hogs fat it must be admit ted that it is serious obstacle in the way when lean meat is advocated. but tho lean is simply interspersed with the fat it must be admitted that 1t is u serious obstacle in the way when lean meat is advocated, but the lean is simply interspersed with the fat and the greater increase from the variety of food does not diminish the supply of lard. The farmer will find that on those portions of the carcass from which the lard is produced but little difference will be observed, and the hog will be much more valuable as a whole.

 Good Housekeeping: Sheets, pillowcaAes, tablecloths and napkins should not be hemmed until they have first been shrunk- on; but before the shrinking process each one should be made into it's proper length If this is done they will always fold evenly when ironed, which is not the case if made up without shrinking, or if shrunken in in the piece, and then made into proper lengths Sheets and pillowcases should be torn by . thread; tablecloths and napkins should be cut by thread.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.
FEARFUL OF THE COST OF HAV-
 ING GOOD ROADS.
Many Matters of Interest and Value to tho Agrlculturist Mentioned and Discussed-HousehoId old Hints
 and Other Notes.
Fearful of the Cost.

There are many farmers who do not have faith in the possibility of better roads. They have never known any better, nor did their fathers and grand fathers. When such men are told of the roads in France and England they do not half believe what they hear. But the most serious contributing cause to the farmers indifference to the subject is the fear that if any system of general roadway improve ment were inaugurated the agricultural people would have to pay entirely for them. The support of the agricultural people of any measures in this direc- ton can never be obtained until 1t is made perfectly clear that the general public will pay the charges.
 The most comprehensive system of railways is that in France and there too, perhaps, are found the best roads iu the world. The French minister of public works has charge of all roads, and these are administered by spe- cial department and a council of which the minister is president. There is a staff of six hundred engineers and in spectors and two thousand inferior of ficials. The department has also a school of roads and bridges for the education of engineers. The roads are national, departmental. military and vicinal. The national roads are main tained entirely by the national treas ury. There are twenty-five thousand miles of these. The vicinal or cross roads are maintained chiefly at the cost of the communes but under a na- tional administration. On these roads there are constantly employed fifty thousand workmen and three thousand overseers. What contrast this Is to our happygo-lucky method of work ing out taxes on the roads?-Colman' s Rural World.
