the girls of this family were modeis as to form and comedy as to face aud were never i'll, but the facts arc against it. As remember it, they were always ail- ing, were marvcls of stupidity in school and painfully shy among their play mates. Tho boys, however, were fine specimens of physical grace and took tho lead in all sports. though at their books they were tho most backward in the neighborhood. It would also Do pleasing to be able to record that in lat er years the boys braced up mentally, and that through the hardships of their youth and the industry then learned in the cornfield they turned out to be tho most successful in the game of life of all the boys of the region, but again the facts arc against it. The father was n harness maker by trade, and he work
 ed thereat, when there was anything go- ing, in shop that had once been the schoolhouse. which he occupied free of rent. His sons all learned the same trade, and tho last heard sf them, four or five years ago, all three-the father was then dead-were mcnding harness in the old schoulhouse shop whichever there was any mending to do. In tho old days when there was neither harness mending nor corn husking to do they used to 20 fishing or else loaf about in

the sun or by the fire They did not take kindly to ordinGsy farm work, and 1t was very difficult to get one of them to go into the planting or the harvest field OF to devote his muscular encr- gies to hocing corn or digging potatoes The eldest of the boys must be past 30 by this time. All five of the brothers and sisters lived together in tho little old house when I was last in the s:icini- ty. They were a singular family. hon. est always and hardworking part of the year, but in tho entire l2 months earn ing altOge her not moro than one good hustler ought to, even at poor pay. Their expenses were light, however, they lived within their means, and nobody ever heard of their running in debt so much as n cents worth.
 But to return to tho outdoor work that the pioneer women of this republic were wont tn perform. It was not limited to corn husking. Even so late as to be within my own memory farmers wives in somo of the interior states have on occasion helped get in tho hay. l knew ono woman, and she was a woman of intelligence and culture, too, who could load" hay as well as any man in the ncighborhood. Loading" hay, by the way. is not pitching" it to the load from the ground. It is n duty similar to trimming the cargo of ship, and un- less it be well performed load of hay or grain is sure to slide off tho rack or ovcrsct if the road over which it is hauled be at all uneven.
 In the years of an earlier generation. while yet flax was among the American | farmers crops, the women were in the habit of doing most of tho pulling and the ''haCkling. preparatory to turn ing the fiber into thread and linen cloth, and have heard of plenty of those that were mothers of the flax women who used to 20 out into tho woods and hclT at logging and burning fOller. ' all raro in those pioneer days, and oi course nearly all of them knew how tC swing the aN.
 From all of this it seems to the pres ent writer that there is sometimes just little nonsense in tho CXtravagant ex ploitation of those sporadic cases of fe male devotion to the farm, the black smith shop, the steamboat and other fields of labor that are usually occupied solely by men, and because of the great CT physical strength required in such oc equations justly so.
 Nevertheless know that in thus stat ing my opinion I am laying myself open to tho charge of tho rankest sor of heresy-by some people.

fields, in the ofttimes biting air of tho fall, for the husks of the corn they could denudo in that time of its outer cover- ing?
 Of course these women think they are getting good pay for their work. else they wouldn't do it at the price, but to the farmer and tho hired man, whose places they have usurped in tho corn field, it looks as if they were working for nothing. But tho husks, which to tho farmer arc nothing but bedding and second rate fodder, are to the Italian women the very best material imagina- ble for filling bedticks And the work, though generally counted laborious, is not overhard to tho hardy daughters of Italy. whose whole lives have been a succession of what would be tho direst hardships to even the poorest of Ameri can born women. It is almost infinitely better than picking rags or sorting filthy garbage barrels in the towns, and it is outdoors besides, where the air is pure and frcc.
 \ veracious correspondent of an east crn paper says that they chatter and sing at their work like so many chil- drcn. They do more, too, than to husk tho corn. They dump it into the wagon box after it Is husked, and then at tho close of tho days work, after the sun has cast his last yellow rays on tho New England landscape, they hustle to tho barn, hitch up tho team and haul the corn that has been huskcd to the corn crib Then they tramp hOmeward to tho nearest town. Whether they carry tho husks home on their heads or not | tho correspondent does not say, but very l likely they do. It is stated that tho hir- cd men of Connecticut are vastly indig- nant because of the present arrange | mcnt, but 1t is evident that they are | powcrlcss and it is possible that in Q year or two more the "dago women'' will bo husking corn all over the land that is, where corn is husked by hand, | for there arc some localities, under stand, where machines for husking arc in use.
 some of my older readers will re- member that tho Italian women arc not the first of their sex to husk corn in America. Many of the pioneers wives used to do their share in the cornfield every fall, despite the fact that it meant bleeding hands, turned back and broken nails and aching frames. It's no joke to sit on bundle of cornstalks all day ill tho chill air of October or November and tear the husks from ears of corn
 Even farming men do not like it, anC there is no job about tine place that ever the small farmer shirks so willingly tt the hands of the help and the boys. don't blame tho said small farmer

 Fournil is an athletic looking French man about 30 years of age and Is prcpos- sessing in appearance and manner. His fine physique has won for him many a game, his strength enabling him to make brilliant round tho table plays and long runs without fatigne. His strength, how cver does not interfere with his delicacy of touch, and it is said that in gentle nursing play he fOndlcs the ivory spheres with n cue touch as soft as swans down. He has shown rare form in his series of 500 point balk line games with Maurice Daily, the famous New York expert, and has won large percentage of the matches. Nightly runs of from 105 to 1855 were features of the Frenchman's play during the interesting series. In q game against J. Randolph Heiser, Fournil won by the very creditable score of 500 to 14S, mak- ing's play. It is said that some of the gathering shots thus far shown by Four nil are new in principle and execution.

tain stiffness of the fingers that, when from learning to write shorthand, to my services at that branch of farm la- bor.
 The husking bee of blessed memory had passed away in the neighhorhood of my bringing up by the time I was big enough to husk corn, yet can dis tiDctly remember that more than one year when the crop was big and ''help" was scarce the farmers wives and daughters went out into the field and husked. l don't suppose they liked it. in fact, know that certain ones dislik- ed it intensely-but there seemed to be no help for it. remember, too. n fam lily of siX-father, three sons and two daughtcrs-who used to husk corn on shares for tho farmers roundabout They were Americans, too, and quite as self respecting as any, though poor iL this worlds goods. They got one bush- el in five. maybe one in ten, or even 0 smaller share. I am not clear about the proportion, but it was n great deal bet ter than tho Italian women arc getting fin Connecticut this year. and if these share workers wanted few huSks the farmers used to give them freely. This family was n mighty industrious crowd in the fall and well on into tho winter as long, in fact, as there was corn to husk. They were in the habit of begin ming their work at break of day and working till they could sec no longer. One morning the eldest of the three sons awoke early and was deceived by the bright light of the full moon shining in at his window into thinking the sun was well up and the whole crowd had overslept. So he reused everybody, and when they found it was false alarm the old man decided it was all right, after all, and out they went into the field and husked by moonlight, although it was barely o'clock. After that the family husked corn every moonlight night, and that. too. without working any less number of daylight hours. Just how they managed it l have always been unable to understand.
 It would be pleasing perhaps to those who believe there is nothing so condu- cive to good looks and good health ns hard work in the open air to say tsas
