The Earmer,s Wife.

Where in all the world is there a
woman like the farmers wife? You
haven't a servant in your house that
works as she does. She is the corner
stone of the nations prosperity.
There is nothing very exciting about
being the. cornerstone, and there is a
good deal of weight on it besides.
What kind of farmers wife do you
know Is she dear, good woman with
motherly heart? Does she race with
the lark to see who will be up first in
the morning? Is she even reproach to
the sun himself and prove that old orb
veritable sluggard? Is she always
CHEEKY at breakfast-the time when
city women are not sure whether they
are amiable or not? Does she work I'M
complainingly? When she churns does
she call you to have a drink of butter
milk? Do you miss her occasionally in
the day and find her in the garden pick
ing potato bugs?-Detroit Free Press.

"a FAMOUS WOMAN.
Her Discovery of, q Comet Madc Her Great

Under the gabled, high-peaked roofs
of German street a quaint little girl
trotted to school. ! always fancied

dress of blue, with waist that was up
to her arms Her stout little legs were
encased in thick wooden stockings, and
her wooden shoes clattered on the stone
flags of the hall and kitchen. She
swept the kitchen and hall with a
broom as big as herself-a broom not
like ours, but made of twigs, such as
one still sees in Germany. 1858 sI0"
She had big brother, q tall, fair lad,
with apassion for acquiring knowledge
of many kinds. Under her high waist
beat an earnest loving little heart, and
she carried under her quilted hood a
clear and intelligents brain. She learn
ed quite rapidly, all the lessons given to
her; and in music, which was the pro-
fession OF the family, she excelled.
Chance called her dearly-loved brother
TO England. She followed him there.
She found him deep in nightly study OF
the stars. She followed him, also, in
these studies; and soon for her, too,
there opened up the fascination OF that
most glorious of all sciences that re.
veals to us the.verS power of the Ohm
nipotent in space.
With the ready self-sacrifice of true
affection, to give him time for his OBJ
servations, she took on her young shout
ders the burden of their support. She
taught vocal and instrumental music;
she sang at concerts; she played at en-
tertainments. Then in the silence Of
the night, she. sat with him, noting
down what he saw and helping him in

Kings and princes came to the observa-

The work of this one humble-minded
woman, who always declared she was

THE RURAL W ORLD.

THTN-sHELLED eggs are very trouble
some and are caused by improper feed
ing. Too much rich food usually brings
about this condition OF things. Let the
hens get plenty of grass, with only a
little oats and wheat at night, and they
will almost certainly improve in shell
making. E-.
WHILE American farmers are content
with only few acres in root crops,
the English farmer places his entire
dependence on roots. On one English
farm of ], 200 acres 200 acres are devoted
to roots. The farm also increases in
fertility every year, as stock raising is
the principal business.
AS THE grass begins to fail later on,
the rations Of the cows should be in
creased at the barn. If there is then a
supply of roots, and especially of car
rots and turnips, the cows may be
gradually changed from green food to
grain and hay with less risk of their
falling off in yield of milk.

A PROGRESSIVE farmer is one who
pays more attention to the making OF
manure than to anything else on the
farm. 1t is not the adding of all kinds
of materials to the manure heap thai
makes it valuable, but the preservation
of the material so that it will moi
deteriorate or lose any portion of its
plant food.

MR.. GLADSTONE.

VIM. Ewart Gladstone the greatest mind
in all England came very near getting his
quietus at the hands of an enraged heifer.
She had been deprived of her calf and was
roaming around when Mr.. Gladstone hap
pened to cross the park where she was
ranging. She at once attacked him,
knocking him down and trying to gore
him with her horns. Luckily he was res
cued before the enraged animal did him
much harm. This only illustrates the
fact that the unexpected always happens.
Here was the future policy Of England and
the fate of the whole Irish question abso-
Iutely dependent for few moments upon
an enraged heifer. If she had impaled
Mr.. Gladstone upon her horns there is no
question that the course of English politics
would have been altered. This shows the

narrow-tired r. one. You know that
much time is frequently lost by the
farmer who is unable to hasten his
spring work in the field because the
wet condition OF the ground forbids the
use of wagon on cultivated land. The
userof wide tires on his wagon wheel
will generally enable him to take up
thi work much earlier and to perform
it more quickly and cheaply than can
be done with his narrow-wheeled
wagon In fixing the width of tires so
as to be properly proportional to the
weights Of the different loads which
they are designed to carry, ! would rec

Dutie, of the Maid of Honor.

She is going to be maid of honor at the wedding os one of her dear friends, and she wants to know what her duties are. Well, they are not very onerous. She walks alone, just ahead of the bride, in entering the church, or wherever the ceremony is to be performed. Her dress must be little more elaborate than that of the bridesmaids, but not of course as rich as the brides. When the altar is reached she stands just beside the bride, holding her bouquet. At the moment when the ring is to be assumed she hands the bouquet to the first bridesmaid, and assists the bride in taking off her glove. All this time the bride has been standing with her veil over her face, but just after the service is over, when the bride rises up after having been blessed, the maid of honor throws back the filmy cloud and the bride stands facing the bridegroom and ready for his kiss. The bouquet is then handed back to the maid of honor, by her given to the bride, and as the procession retreats she walks just behind the bride and groom, leaning on the arm of the best inan.-Ruth Ash rNore in Ladies' Home Journal.

The lad stood only SIX inches higher than the iron post which he endeavored to jump, and which cost him his life. Last Wednesday while romping the streets with lot of boys he proposed the game. The post was not much thicker than a gas pipe, and has pointed top and an iron ring to tie horses to. Dan took the lead, and in the first jump landed heavily with his stomach on the sharply pointed post. He cried out with pain and his companions were frightened. Several pedestrians passing inquired the cause, but the boys would not tell. The lad kept hIs accident a secret until forced by his agony to tell his mother. It was too late for the doctors tO save him. He died from peritonitis.
