QUICK WAY TO CLEAR LAND.

BY the existence of skill, much hard
labor may be used in the clearing Of
land. In this section land is cleared
of small timber under three or four
inches in diameter by the following
method: Take log one foot in diam
eter and ten feet in length, with the
bark of. Have each end nicely
rounded, leaving good size knot in
the centre, to which q log chain can be
attached Fasten q pair of heavy
mules or horses to the smaller end and
fasten the end to the tree to be taken
up about four to six feet from the
ground. Now drive around the tree,
and as the roots are loosened from the
soil cut them with sharp axe. 1t is
surprising how quickly tree can be
gotten out thus, many of them in less
than ten minutes by the watch. The
object of the log is to bring the draft
down where the team can get at it.
For larger trees over ten inches in
diameter block and tackle must be en-
ployed, which will take somewhat
longer. Trees can be gotten out by
the roots in about the same time it
takes to cut the tree down. March is
the best month to clear land, as the
ground is soft, and with a steady team
and three active men good progress
can be made every day.-Baltimore

A GOOD HAIR WASH.

The following hair wash is said to
be harmless: Dissolve on ounce of
salts of tartar in a quart of warm water
and add the juice of two lemons.
When the effervescing is over, dip the
hair in the basin and with the fingers
rub the scalp until it is covered with
lather and all the dandruff and dust
has been removed. If the water Is
black, you may know that your head
is red and clean. Rinse in warm wa
ter again in cool and a third time in
cold water. 1t will take from one to
three hours TO dry the hair and it
should not be done up until it is dry.

CURE FOR spRANED ANKLES.

For. the sprained ankle of horse
apply wet bandages and keep constant
1y saturated in moderately cold water
until Inflammation subsidies, then APP
DIV mild liniments with plenty of hand
rubbing. The cold water bandages
should be changed daily, because if
the legs swell they may require loosen
ing or wrapping more firmly as the
swelling recedes. They may have to
be kept on for one or two weeks be-
fore any stimulants in the way of hni-
ments can be used. Reduce swelling
and tenderness before applying any
thing but water. A sprained ankle in
n horse requires time and much pa
thence on the part of one who takes
care Of him.-New York Sun.

EXERCISE Is A NECESSITY.

1t is Of paramount importance that
young and growing fowls enjoy such
range or open space as will afford them
ample room for exercise for their oon-
slant development.
They will grow more rapidly, put on
good flesh more steadily and keep in
thrifty condition more surely when
they can have good pasture range to
roam about in daily than if kept in
any ordinary limits as to space. And
they need this liberty during their
younger days.
By this means they obtain natural
exercise and plenty of it. They skip
and fly and chase the butterflies or
grasshoppers all day long when afford
ed the opportunity. This strengthens
their limbs and muscles, helps them to
half their feed and keeps them lively,
cheerful, happy and constantly i'm
proving.
In all cases the pasture or field can
not be availed of we are aware. And
even the lawn or roadside is denied to
many scores of chickens reared around
us annually. In such instances we
must do the best we can. But it should
be borne in mind that if the chickens
cannot have this needed exercise at all
we must not expect to raise such chicks
on the average to maturity, as may our
neighbors who fortunately have this
open space whereOn the young birds
may sport and bestir themselves dur
ing the period of their middle growth.

THE ART OF GRACEFUL WALKING.

1t would seem sometimes that the
art Of graceful walking might be num-
bered among the lost sciences, so few
women master the accomplishment, or
even acquire any approach to perfec-
ton in this exercise, which is the
foundation of all others. Every one
succeeds in propelling themselves
along by means Of their feet, but that
is not true walking An English au-
thority says. "The body should be
held erect, the shoulders dowG, chest
extended, and the leg moved from the
hip, the whole figure above being i'm
movable The movement from the
knee is said to be the secret of bad
walking, combined with the discom-
tort Of tight shoes aud high heels,
which turn the figure in a most I'M
graceful manner. A short, brisk walk
is beneficial, while a tramp Of miles
results in WEAKNESS.

Biblical Law.

In the early days of interior Mis-
souri the late Judge E cut cord
wood. cleared up his homestead farm,
and was employed upon one side OF
nearly every case that came up, being
for some years the only lawyer IN the
county. =,
He had no books except an old
leatber-covered Bible and an old vol
ume OF two of history, similarly bound,
but had read law a short time in Ken
lucky in his youth. He was very small
and insignificant in appearance, but
became before his death q splendid
LAWYER and an honored Judge.
A Young attorney from the East
settled in the little country town, with
his library Of about half dozen new
and handsomely bound law books, and
on his first appearance in case he
brought most Of his library to the Jus
tice's Office in fine, beautifully
lowered carpet bag, popular in that
dav. E was engaged against him.
and. as usual, had not book.
When his adversary carefully drew
his books from his pretty carpet bag
and laid them on the table, E
looked astonished, but quickly recov-
cred his ready resources. and asked
the Justice to excuse him for few
moments. He hurried to his home
stead, half mile or so away, and put
his old leather-bound Bible and his
tories into a grain sack and brought
them to court, initiating his opponent
in LAYING them before him on the
table. ,
The evidence was introduced, and
the Eastern man, being for the plain
tiff. made his opening argument and
read at length from his text books.
E made his characteristic speech
in reply, closing by reading law from
his old Bible Just the reverse OF that
read by his opponent and took his
seat, putting his Bible on the table.
His adversary reached over and
picked it up, and seeing what 1t was
eagerly addressed the Justice
'Your Honor" said he, this man
is a hunbug and a pettifogger. Why,
sir. this is the Bible from which he
has pretended to read law. D."
The old Justice looked indignant
and interrupting the young attorney,
said:
'Set down. What better law can
we get than the Bible?' He then de-
cided the case in favor Of the defend
ant.-Green Bag.

Uncle Sam as an Advertiser.

In Eighth avenue there Is a recruit
ing Office for the United States Army.
In front of the premises during bust
ness hours is stationed an orderly
whose erect figure, bright new uniform
and fine, soldierly bearing are well
calculated to make favorable impress
sion upon the minds of discontented
Young men who may be taken with a
sudden impulse to enter the service OF
their country. On the streets in the
neighborhood there are generally to
be seen two or three robust and well
fed young men in the uniform Of pri-
Yates, lounging about in a cOntented
sort of way, from whose leisurely man
ner it might easily be inferred that, in
time of peace at least, the soldiers lot
was quite happy one. "The whole
scheme is a slick one, was the remark
of an ex-private who only few weeks
ago received an honorable discharge
from the regular army after six years
of service in the West. ''The whole
scheme is a slick one" he repeated,
land it catches lots of fellows who are
Just as fresh and green as L was when
enlisted in Philadelphia nearly six
years ago. Young fellows who are out
of work or who are dissatisfied with
their positions or who are in desper'
ate frame of mind after spree OF
who are unhappy in their love affairs,
accidentally run across these recruit
ing officers, and the idea suddenly
pops into their heads that it would be
a mighty nice thing to join the army
and thus run away from their trouble.
"They see the orderly and the pri-
Yates in their neat, bright uniforms,
with apparently nothing in the world
to do but keep their shoes and clothes
well brushed, and what was at first
merely a vagrant notion becomes a de-
termined resolution. They apply for
enlistment, pass the necessary examin-
alton, and, almost before they are
aware of it, have surrendered a largo
share of their personal freedom and
become subjects of military discipline.
Too often they seek to retrace their
steps only when it is too late, and in
many cases they begin their army ser
vice with a sullen hatred against the
flag they have sworn to follow. Once
in while, but not often, a fellow is
exempted or discharged after he has
been sworn in, but it is generally done
because he pleads the baby act or
through some pull of his friends in
the War Department. But the natty
orderly on duty in front of the re-
cruiting Office and the ellfed privates
on the streets nearby-what of them,
you ask? Why, they run the scheme
1 spoke of in the first place. Uncle
Sam is the shrewdest advertiser in the
business. He places those fellows,
wearing new uniforms, on view, to ad-
vertise what a royal, free-for-all picnic
he has in store for those who join the
repular army. New York Herald.

BERLIN, May 1s.-The German Empcr-

gent Of Brunswick, Prince Frederick Leo
pold, Count Won Capriyi, and many other
notables, proceeded TO Goerlitz, today,
where he personally unveiled the monu-

10 with the greatest interest, particularly
as IL was assumed the Emperor would have
something 70 say about the recent defeat
OF the Army bill and the present electoral
campaign.
As a consequence there were great
crowds OF people present and the utmost
enthusiasm prevailed.
After the exercises at the monument had
been concluded, an elaborate dlnner was
discussed. The Emperor did not disap-
point his distinguished audience, for In bis
speech be said, speaking with great solem-
nifty:
sThis festivity Is In the midst Of serious
times. Eleven years ago my grandfather
addressed you the most important words.
Now we must maintain what William
created and secured 70 the future of our
fa,herland. Our army requires increas-
ing and remodeling. / have summoned
the nation 70 provide the necessary means.
All other questions arc inferior 70 this, the
most serious question: one upon which de-
pends the very existence OF the Father
land. And we need absolute unity In order
70 solve the question. Whsteger separates
US as Germany, whatever causes views 10
diverge, must now DC pat aside because II
inperils the future Of the Fathsrland."
fhis speech made profound sensation.
and has been hated with enthusiasm.
