A wArEnrRooF wHIrEwAsn.

The ugipg of limewash for covering
barns aud outbuildings Is almost an uni
ycrsal custom, and this mixture recon-
mends itself by reason of its cheapness
and utility. The lime serves as pre-
servative for the wood, and is fatal to
many of the insects which gather on and
about the buildings. A waterproof wash
can be made by Stacking peck OF fresh
lime in a barrel of hot water. 1t be-
comes like thin paste, and should then
be skinned with boiling water TO the
consistency of thin cream. A pound OF
boiled rice flour is stirred IN, and then
two pounds of soap or tallow are sliced
and added to the liquid, which is strained
and used while hot. The glaring white
color, objected to by some, may be
avoided by adding water lime to make
gray, or burned lumber to make brown.

''Noyage of a Naturalist" that unles,
the huanacOes, or wild llamas OF
Patagonia, drink salt water, in mani
localities they must drink none at
all. The large and interesting grOuE
Of slOths are alike in never drinking.
A parrot is said TO have lived in the
geological gardens, Regents Park, fol-
fifty two years without a drop Of
water. 1t is often said that rabbit;

late Rev. J. G.. Wood doubted whether
this idea was correct and recorded the
fact that they feed on the heritage
when 1t is heavy with dew and, there,

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD
srLL Farm STOCK YOUNG.

Farm stock is often kept too long fo'
profit. Sheep decline very rapidly after
six years old, and are best aold at five.
Cows may retain their usefulness until
twelve. Cattle and sheep are SOLD io'
meat, but with horses it is ditfereut. a
horse that has been good aud faithful
servant for many years is often kept until
he dies, which is better than selling: him
for mere pittancc, to be abused the re-
mainder of his life. A good rule. to fol-

Cures for the Blues.

Do you ever have the blues? Of course
you do. for there never yet lived a man
or woman whose soul cast no shadow
These times of depression, from which
we all of us suffer more or less, are moth
ing more than the shadows cast by our
souls in the road along which we are
walking heavenward. Sunshine rays
produce shadows, and the fact that our
souls go into eclipse now and then
proves that there is sunshine just behind
u.s. But what do you do when you get
the blues? Do you cry or scold or NOPE?
Is it hard to live in the same house with
you while the shadow falls athwart
your way? Do the children get out. of
the road when they see you coming? I
have found one excellent cure for the
blues which mean to tell right here.
Go straight to work and do something
for some one more miserable than your
self. Whatever your trouble may be,
there is always some one to be found
who has harder lot to bear. The other
day young wife was deserted by her
husband and taken to the hospital to face
q terrible illness, without friend to
stand by her in her hour of need, and
with not cent to defray expenses or un-
lock the door of the future. Suppose you
go hunt her up and offer a helping hand.
Such betrayal and desertion discounts
your puffs of vapor. A mother watched
the coffin lid close the other day forever
and forever, so far as mortal time
counts, between her yearning eyes and
the face of her only boy. What is your
transient depression compared to the
heart anguish of such grief as hers?
Don't you think it would help cure you
of the blues if you sat down and wrote
that mother letter, or dropped in for
an hour or two to keep her company? 1t
seems such selfish thing to be SO exclu-
sive in bearing trouble. A load shared
is load lightened, and the deepest
gloom takes on bright tint now and
then if overshone with the sunshine
of love.-Chicago Herald.

Bridget,s Dilemma.

A newly arrived domestic was secured
to do housework by an up town family
in Lewiston. In the course of her duties
she was told to iron some clothes and
hang them upon the horse. A little later
the maid appeared before her mistress
with the clothes in her hands and look
of manifest perplexity on her face.
s'Why didn't you hang the clothes
upon the horse, Bridget" inquired the
latter.
'Sure, an I tried to, ma'am, but he
kept movin, 30 he did, an they wouldn't
stay"
Sure enough, knowing no other horse
in her native land, she had gone to the
stable and endeavored to hang them upon
the restive Dobbin, with the result indi-
Gated. The above is fact.-Lewiston
(Me.) journal.

The Brother,es. Girl.

The girl without brother is especially
to be pitied. She is the girl who is never
certain Of getting the pleasures of life
unless she is very attractive. OF course
she has no brother who she is certain
will take, her everywhere; she is apt to
get a little bit vain, for she has no
brother to tell her, as only a brother
will, of her faults and mistakes. 1t is
only the somewhat doubtful tact of a
brother that announces, 81 wouldn't
walk up the street with you in that
frock," and the girl whose brother says
this to her may be certain that he is only
expressing the opinion of other girls
brothers. He may not do it in the most
gentle way, but he does tell the truth,
and if you ask him why paying visit to
another girl is more desirable than to
one you know, he will sit down and look
at you, and then he will say:
"Well, you see, it is just this way.
From the time you get there she is nice
girl who gives you pleasant welcome
and yet doesn't gush over you. She is
entertaining, and yet she has a fashion
of putting down nasty gossip or silly talk
among whoever is there. She is rest
ful sort of girl, she is not always want
ing to do something that tires you half
to death and where the game isn't worth
the candle, and when she says goodby to
you you feel certain that she is pretty
glad you came and that she will be glad
to see you another time, but that she
doesn't look upon you as the one and
only man in the world" That is the
kind of description that the brotherless
girl can't get. Then she doesn't hear of
men that a fellow would rather not have
his sister go with. Probably the wisest
course for her to pursue is for her to
choose as her most intimate friend girl
who has wise brother; then she can
reap the benefit of his counsel.-Ruth
Ashmore in Ladies' Home journal.
