The man who says farming don't pay

does pay, is usually too busy to say
much about it.

DANCES AND DANCING.

The fandango is an Andalusian dance,
accompanied by the guitar and casta
nets.
Eusebius says that dancing was in
vented by the Curetes, B. G. 1884, to
celebrate victory.
During the reign of Charles TX of
France, 1560-1574, dancing in the
churches to psalm tunes was not I'M
common.
The scottische was so called from a
popular idea that it was a Scotch dance.
1t really originated in Bohemia.
The first French ballet in the modern
style was Psyche, brought out in Paris
in 1871, the same year as Pomone, the
first French opera.
A hundred years ago the minuet was
the favorite dance in good society.
General Washington, OH at least two
occasions, is recorded as having danced
in minuet.
In 1851 Catherine de Medici had a
ballet performed at the French court
1t was entitled "Circe and Her
Nymphs, " and the expense for Co.'S
tunes and training the performers was
$500, 900 livres.
The Nautch dance, in its native home
in India, is said to be much worse than
when it travelled to Chicago and was
exhibited there. In India and the East
it has existed almost unchanged for
ages. 1t is believed by some critics
that the dance, which was executed be-
fore Herod by the daughter of Hero
dias, and which led to the death OF
John the Baptist, was no other than
the Nautch dance, or danse du ventre.

CONNECTION OF LABOR AND FOOD.

The human body is an example of
perpetual power, says health journal.
Its work ceases only with life. Even
in the most profound slumber, which
closely Stimulates death, some of its
functions are going on, as, for exam
pie, breath.Ag, circulation of the blood
and digestion, if the stomach contain
food. 1t follows that the nerovus sys-
tenn is also on active duty both day and
night. In the mere act of living some
of the substance of the body is being
constantly consumed. A person de-
prived of food will live for some time
upon the fat supply of the body, if wa
ter be supplied. We lose in weight by
exercise. A laborer, if weighed after
several hours of severe labor, will be
found few pounds lighter than be-
fore. So if we do not wish to become
bankrupt in stock, we must replace by
food what we have lost by exercise
Hunger and thirst are the instincts that
prompt us to do this. In healthy
adult as much is taken as is required
to maintain the body against loss. On
the one is so much food spent in work.
on the other, so much received into the
stomach for digestion. Nature keeps
the balance. In an unhealthy person
the instinct of hunger becomes disor-
dered, the appetite fails in its demands
and the person goes ON in the daily rou-
tine with an insufficiency of nourish-
ment until he is physically pauperized,
or morbid appetite calls too frequent
ly-he eats too much, and the vital
machinery becomes clogged. A scien-
tific calculation of the work transacted
IN the body reveals the fact that for a
person engaged in hard manual labor,
eight and one-half pounds of food and
drink are consumed daily-some more,
some less; but this is the average.
Most of the energy stored up in these
eight and half pounds is expended in
keeping the body warm and its func.
lions active. Only about one-tenth
can be spent in bodily exercise or labor.
Persons wishing to increase in weight
will readily perceive how to economic
their forces.

READING TEETH.

Character and temperament may be
as clearly and as easily read i'll the
teeth of a man or woman said an eX-
merit the other day." as the attributes
are shown in the expression OF the eye
or the form of the head. In persons Of
bilious temperament, for example, the
expert said, 1.-THE teeth have a strongly
marked bronze yellow hue, and they
are large in form and inclined to be
angular, and their length exceeds their
breadth. The surface of the teeth
shows transverse ridges, is slightly
translucent, and abounds in strong
lines. The teeth in such persons are
always firmly set, close together, and
well -locked, and the gum margins are
heavy and firm and angular in outline.
The hard palate ridges are heavy and
drugged and squarely set. The man
or woman of confident nature" the
expert continued, 'has translucent
cream yellow teeth, well proportioned,
and Astounding in curved and rounded
lines, with rounded cutting edges. The
surface of such teeth is fairly brilliant
in lustre, is smooth, with translucent
cutting edges and rounded depressions
and elevations. The articulation of
such teeth is moderately firm, and 1T is
noted that the jaw has tendency to
rotate in masticating. The gum mar
gins are round and full, both i'll respect
to length and breadth, and the palate
ridges are numerous, graceful in out
line, and well rounded. You can in
yariably tell the active. nervous, tenn
permanent by the pearl grey or greyish
translucence of the teeth. The length
of the teeth in a nervous person pre-
dominates over the breadth, and the
cutting edges are both fine and long.
The surface Of the teeth is both brill
liant and transparent and the impress
sions and elevations abound i'll long
curves. The articulation of such teeth
is long and very penetrating, and the
gum margins are delicate and shapely,
and marked by oval curves, while the
palate ridges are close, not numerous,
and small and long in form. In other
words, the mouth of the nervous tenn
pered person is adorned with the ideal
of perfect teeth. Last comes the slow
going person whose temperament the
doctors class as Emphatic. You can
spot the teeth of such persons by their
Opaque or muddy color, and by their
large and unsightly form, and their
breadth exceeds their length always
In such persons the surface of the in
cisors is unmarked by the usual depres-
sions and elevations, and they are
Opaque in finish, even at the cutting
edges. Such teeth are fiat and loose
in articulation, the gum margins are
thick and irregular in shape, and the
palate ridges are sparse and fiat. They
are the poorest kind of teeth. "

May in salt, and which had been wiped
with cottonseed oil, to which had been
added boracic acid, kept from four to

being good. Eggs packed in bran after
the same preliminary handling, were
all spoiled after four months. Eggs

The thrashing of wheat in Yamhil

The thrashing of wheat in Yamhill
county, Or, shows that it suffered to
some extent from the ravages of the
aphis. The average yield is quite low,
not exceeding twenty bushels to the
acre. One field yielded something like
twenty-seven bushels, and in another
there were thrashed 1873 bushels from
four acres, though the general average
in the rest of the latter crop was con-
siderably less. The wheat is mostly
plump and comparatively clean, but
with many small grains. Oats are
only fair yield, but of good quality,
and seem to be coming in quite freely
to the warehouses.

Keeping Eggs by Glazing.

A French naturalist has experimental
on eggs with a view to discovering a
means for keeping them fresh for long
period, and he assures us that he has
Matched chickens from eggs kept for
over two years by his process. His
method is simple and consists in dis
solving some gum lax in a sufficient
quantity of alcohol to make a slight
glaze. Into this each egg is dipped,
and when they are completely dry they
are packed in bran or sawdust, taking
care to place the large end upward.
When the eggs are wanted the glaze
must be carefully removed with some
alcohol, and they will be found in the
same state as when they were envel-
oped. The rationale of this process
consists in intercepting the air and pre-
venting it penetrating the she'll.
As is generally known, the eggshell
is perforated by a myriad of small
pores, which can only be perceived by
the aid of microscope Through
these pores, day by day, the albumen
inside the egg evaporates, and its place
is taken by air. When the egg is full
fluid passes constantly toward the
pores, and is the principal agent of cor
ruption, the corruption being mani
tested more rapidly in warm than in
cold weather. An egg absolutely fresh
is entirely full, but stale eggs have all
an empty space in proportion to their
age, caused by the loss of albumen by
evaporation.
By the above system of glazing this
evaporation is prevented and the germ
of the egg being protected from the cor
rupting influence of the air, retains its
vitality for long time.

Lemon Culture in Italy.

Major G. J. Berry of Visalia, has had
correspondence lately with Consul
Woodcock of Catania, Italy, on the
subject of lemon culture there. The
following from that source will prove
interesting to California lemon growers:
"Those orchards yield the best results
which are most distant from the sea,
and are not of such an altitude as to be
affected by frost The rich valley above
the sea level, where an abundance OF
water can be had for irrigation, abound
in the best orchards. Some orchards
are very close to the seashore. Such
location is, of course, not desirable for
the culture of this fruit. The trees so
near these are more liable to disease,
and the quality of the fruit is not so
good as that of orchards more distant.
Artificial irrigation is necessary. In
many instances it is elevated from wells
by steam or mule power. The ground
between the trees is cultivated at least
five times between March and October.
Vegetable crops between the trees are
condemned. The trees produce an
average of 1000 lemons annually.
Cases are mentioned where trees pro-
duce ten times this number. The lemons
gather ed in November are the ones
to hold for their keeping qualities.
They are supposed to keep six months. "

Draft or General Purpose Horses.

DFdIt OF reheTai PURPOSE HoTsts'
Will you give me correct information
regarding the relative merits Of differ
ent breeds of draft horses in the United
States? Some years ago circular came
bearing the Endorsement of large
number of the most prominent horse
dealers in the States, calling the Perch
eron the best draft horse. Many people
in this country think Percherons are
not draft, only general purpose horses.
A number of Percheron stations have
been brought to this country and have
not always been profitable, not because
the stock was poor, but because of the
ignorance of our farmers and their pre-
JUDGE in favor of English and Scotch
stock. Most of our farmers cannot i'm
agine draft horse without part of his
name on his legs. have raised num-
Der of grade Percherons and think them
unequalled for work, and have often
offered to back them at draft against
the mop-legged Britishers, but no one
accepts the challenge. -J. Leader, Mes
ford, Can.
The breeds Of draft horses are so diff
ferent and have such widely differing
characteristics that it is almost impos-
sible to say which is best. The English
draft horse has shown his good quail
ties for generations. So has the Perch
eron. Both are valuable animals
The Clydesdale is a good breed, and
there are others, all of which have
friends and advocates quite as enthusi-
astic in their behalf as the friends of
your British horses. The superiority
of draft horses must be decided largely
by locality and individual preference
No one man can lay down rules for
others which will prove infallible.
