Red Hair is All Right,

Don't be ashamed of your red hair.
The scientists say that it means that
there is superabundance of iron in
the blood. And the Analyst says that it
is the matter that enters into red hair
that imparts vigor, the elasticity, the
great vitality the overfowing, thorough
~ healthy animal life which runs
through the veins of the ruddy- haired,
and this strong, sentient animal lift is
what renders them more intense in all
emotions than their more lanquid fell
low creatures. Philosophers notice ii
as a peculiar fact that red-haired old
maids are very rare; they seem to have
some verv strong attractions.

Curing Hams.

The Northwestern Agriculturist
gives rule for the curing of pork
hams that may prove useful to our
readers. Well cured hams are a
luxury in every family, while poorly
cured hams are likely to become
spoiled and so lost, for which reason
it is best to exercise good degree of
care. The rule is as follows: For
every 100 pounds of meat take five
pounds OF sugar, FIVE ounces of salt
peter and six and one-fourth pounds
of SALT and water enough to cover all
the hams when packed down. The
hams should remain in the brine thus
made until they are completely
picked, which will require longer
time in cold weather. After being
sufficiently picked they may be taken
to the smoke house and smoked to the
taste. Pork hams are frequently
spoiled by being taken from the brine
before they are picked through. II
even a small portion of the meat
around the bone lacks the effect of
the salt, if kept into warm weather.
1t will become tainted.

.JananeSe Progress.

A resident of Japan, in recent let,
ter, says that the country is not making
so much progress as is generally sup
posed. The change is mostly on the
surface. There are professions of re-
gard for the people of other nations.
but the late Satsuma rebellion was a
formidable outbreak Of the anti-for-
eign sentiment. The edicts against
Christianity have never been abolished.
The people really have contempt for
foreigners, and the Government is fast
discharging those of that class in It's
employ, and the number at present is
very small. Some of the leaders OF
public opinion believe that, with few
iron-clads and torpedo-boats for navy,
Japan will take it's place among the
great nations of the earth, and be prac-
tically independent of Western ciyiliza-

An AnecdOte of YandYck.

On one occasion Vandyclz, the artist,
was at HARLEM, the home of Franz
Halls, a noted Dutch portrait painter.
Vandyck went to his studio, but, as
usual, Halls was at the tavern. Vandyck
sent for him, saying that stranger
wished his portrait painted, and had
hut two hours to stay for it. Halls
seized canvas and finished the picture
within the given time. Vandyck praised
it warmly, and said: Painting seems
such simple thing that should like
to try what I can do at it" Halls
changed places with him, and the visitor
painted the second portrait as quickly
as the first had been made. When Lals
saw the picture, he embraced the painter
and cried: "You are Vandyck! No
other could do what you have done!'-

CHAPTER XI.-Continued.

On the next day notice to that effect
was pasted all over the closed shutters of
the shop.
Ar old gentleman. or rather man
whom too much study had prematurely
aged, was passing by the door and saw
the notice, He knew of a treasure
within that shop, and trusted that no
one from without knew of it but HIM
self. He had his suspicious of Jacques.
who knew the value of book. Andrew
was wont to say, by its very smell. But
Jacques had asked as high price for
this treasure (no less than De Bry's Vir-
ginia in English) as he dared, trusting
with trembling heart that his customer
would find it beyond his means, and
that he might preserve it in the shop.
The scholar had entered into a daily
correspondence on the subject Always
coming in about S o'clock, looking low
ing at the precious volume, offering a
1ittle more or a little less, while Jaques
stood respectfully by, with beating
heart, dreading every moment he might
offer the sum he himself had named.
Now on this bright June morning the
scholar was passing by, and he saw the
shop shut up. The perspiration started
out upon his brow-an indescribable
shiyer passed down his back and he pre-
cipitately rushed to the door,
A smile was on Jaques' face-a fiend-
iSh grin the scholar termed it afterward
as be told him with all courtesy that
the coveted treasure was no longer to be
sold.
He CRASHED his teeth; he offered sums
of money that made Jaques softly go and
shut the back door.
He heard the story with bitter spirit
that FairdOn had succeeded to q for
June, and was determined to keep his
books to commence his own library.

in future" he said bitterly to himself.

A friend met him and took his Diver
ing arm, and heard with composure the
terrible story of his wrongs.
"Never mind, old boy!' he said, sooth-
ingly, "keep your eye on him; these sort
of nouveauX riches constantly come to

1t was sorry comfort for Andrew

The Use OF Rran in the Dairy.

AS plant makes all it's substance
from food, and it is necessary for the
production of a crop to supply it
with every element of its substance
in due proportion, so with animals,
every element of the body and the
expected product, is to be supplied in
excess of those needed to sustain life.
Bran, in the opinion of the American
Agrculturist, is valuable food for
certain purposes. 1t supplies the
material for making bone, and this is
needed by old animals as well as
young, for it is known that the bones
of an old animal are replaced to some
extent during the whole Of it's exist
ence. 1t is also an excellent flesh
producing food, and it provides the
elements of milk except the fat.
Bran has all the needed elements of
nutrition for the sustenance of life in
the proportion required but it is de-
ticient in the fat needed for butter.
Thus, alone, it is not suitable food
for the dairyman. To furnish the
quantity of fat for pound of butter,
a COW must eat forty pounds of bran,
allowing for the unavoidable waste.
But twenty pounds OF corn meal
would supply the needed fat, if no
other food were used. In practice it
has been found that six pounds OF
bran and the same Of corn meal is a
good ration for a COW that may be
expected to give one pound of butter
a day in addition to good clover hay.
But as bran is an excellent food for
making bone and flesh it is one of the
best for growing animals or for sheep
rearing lamb, and making a fleece.
An excellent food for calves consists
Of cut hay, wetted and mixed with
for ten pounds Of it-one pound of
corn meal, and three pounds of bran.
This, with as much good clover hay
as will be eaten clean, is enough for
two calves per day.

om;,laininS armers.

One of the Jolly kind of farmers
who is always happy, in writing to an
agricultural paper, expresses himself
as having no sympathy with that
class of farmers who are all the time
complaining that farming doesn't
pay" and ella ms that the difficulty
lies with the complainant rather
than with the business Of farming.
He said that of the class that COM
plain, you can usually find them and
their families at the circus and in
dulging in matters Of pleasure from
which no benefit can be derived; and
further. that the complaining class
are those who spend from fifteen to
twenty-five cents per day for tobacco.
There is much truth in the writer's
remarks. Given health, strength and
an energetic disposition, there is lit
tie occasion for complaining on the
part of farmers. One great trouble
is the change in conditions from what
existed fifty or seventy-five years ago.
Then the labors of farmers, as well
as of others, were blessed by some in
u OdoO anu ol1O1S was o SldouOA ga
ing. There was less disparity among
the masses Of the people While
there might occasionally be found
one more successful than the mass,
there were few that were really
wealthy; but in more recent times,
by means of booms and speculation,
men have become wealthy in day,
and wealth appears to be more con-
centrated, This has caused feeling
of discontent-a desire to grow rich
without labor, and there can be found
many who are waiting for something
to turn up whereby they may be
safely landed in the lapof luxury and
ease. But this is wholly incompati-
bic with the business of the farmer;
it is necessary that he should pre-
pare the soil and tend the crop if he
hopes for any returns. And it makes
no difference in what department his
efforts are directed-fruit culture,
cattle raising, the dairy or general
crops-it mes ms the putting forth of
effort, and with that there will be
sure to come a moderate increase Of
wealth. The process of saving must
of necessity be slow, but it will be
sure, and with care IN the investment
there will be an accumulation ample
for all necessities: with surplus for
pleasure and ease in old age.

The Selection of Seed Corn.

We should all bear in mind the fact
that there is a general law that seems
to pervade nature that 'like pro-
duces ike and yet there is a diff
ference to degree of quality which,
when applied to seeds. should have a
governing influence in this selection.
In all kinds Of cropping, especially of
annual crops that come only from the
seed planted, selection should be
careful, and especially is the case
with corn. There is no question but
that the yield of the crop may be
very much influenced by the seed
planted; increase or improvement
may result, or deterioration and a

What is desirable is to select those
ears for the seed that appear to be
most productive, have grown upon
normal but vigorous, stalks, and this

the corn is cut. and so marked as to
be readily distinguishable at the time
of husking, and then should be put

be made from stalks bearing two or
more ears. we much prefer it, as that
tendency is favorable to large pro-
duction. We much prefer two we'll
