BEWARE OF FRUIT SKINS.

With regard to the eating of fruit an
important caution must be given
Fruit skins carry germs and are no
more intended for human sustenance
than potato skins, melon rinds, or pea
pods. The bloom OF the peach is a
luxuriant growth of microbes, that of
the grape only less so and when these
skins are taken into the stomach they
find most favorable conditions for their
lively and rapid development, which
causes the decay of the fruit before it
is possible to digest it. This is the
reason that many persons think they
cannot eat raw fruit. If they would in
all cases discard the skin they could
derive only good from the fruit itself.
Nature provides the skin for the pro.
lection OF the fruit from the multitude
of germs which are ever ready to attack
it, as is evidenced when the skin is
bruised or broken in any way. The
microbes at once begin their work of
decay and the fruit is unfit for food.
Children are chief offenders in respect
to this respect to this rule, and should
be carefully watched and frequently
cautioned. A daintiness as to the
condition of fruit should also be cult
vated, to prevent its being eaten un.
ripe, or too old, on the verge of decay.
Remember that it is sweet and ripe
fruit, in prime condition only, that is
recommended.

THE GENTLEMAN,

Many receive hard blows through
lack of courtesy. 1t is an easy thing,
so easy to be the gentleman. In de
bate, in business, in letter-writing, in
all social intercourse, the common rules
Of courtesy would make life much more
enjoyable. An affair displeases. We
readily forget the underlying principles
Of the real gentleman. With the pen
in hand, the gentleman is frequently
overlooked. 1t is so easy to write a
singing, abusive letter to man fifty
miles distant. Why? Should not the
same rules of courtesy govern IN the
penning of letter as in the freedom
OF conversation? Courtesy between
employer and employe, master and
servant, mistress and maid is beautiful.
The superior in position has no funda.
mental right to forget the gentleman,
and play the part of abuser toward the
subordinate. In our presence few
days since an official was so dlscour-
teous to an interior in position, but
equally as sublime in manhood, that if
we had been thus abruptly, curtly
spoken 10, the resignation would have
been rendered within the next five
minutes. Politeness is like the pneumatic
tire there isn't much in it, but it eases
many jolt in the journey of life.

MIXED FARMING.

1t was our privilege, recently, to
spend a day on a small farm. Less
than 100 acres, which the present
owner has cultivated for forty years,
more than most farmers do, mixed
farming, and he has been unusually
successful. An inspection of his &C.
count of sale from the farm for many
years proved the truth OF his theory
that mixed farming give a regular
income.
We were interested to note the many
sources OF income, and will enumerate
them to give an idea OF MS plan of
Management. He grows an average OF
fifteen acres of wheat year, not so
much that he has found wheat profit
able as that he wishes TO SOW clover
and needs the straw to make his stock
comfortable in the winter, and he sells
from 200 to 500 bushels of wheat each
year. Three brood sows are kept and
and two litters of pigs year raised,
which are sold for pig pork at four and
a half to six months old. In 1892
forty-one pigs were raised, which
brought an average of a little over five
dollars each at less than five month
old. Three cows are kept, and a
small amount of butter is sold after
supplying a family of six tserSons
with all the butter and cream they will
eat, perhaps not more than SIS worth,
but all the heifer calves are raised and
the males sold for veal, and as only
three COWS are wanted, one or more IS
sold each year and a veal or two. The
work of the farm Is done with team
mares and colts raised, and every year
one or more horses or mules are sold {.
The owner found difficulty in selling
hoses until they were five or six years
old, and this involved keeping larger
stock than he wished, and SO for two
years past he has grown mules, as they
are salabe at any age.
A liberal berry patch, to furnish fruits
for the family, Is kept and the surplus
sold. This summer from these the
income was over $40
One or two acres of Irish potatoes
give some income beside furnishing
the family, while sweet potatoes are
grown to larger extent and are quite
a source of income. About 100 hens
are kept and these are fed literally
three times a day, summer and winter,
on wheat bran and oil meal mostly,
and as a consequence they pay lber.
ally and can be depended on for an
income of about 500, in addition to
the family supply of eggs and chickens
A field Of clover Is cut each year and
the seed forms quite an item Of income
while the hay is fed to the COWS, and

OLD TIME CARVING.

Whet do we know about carving
except for the domestic meal? What
do we know of the term used-of the
different ways of carving every kind OF
bird9 | declare that | carve a phea-
SAINT, when one appears, Just Ike
fowl, and that l carve a partridge by
dividing the bird into two unequal
portions. 1t is, believe, about year
ago that quoted from an old book on
carving some OF the terms Of the art.
May one repeat them from the same
book2 Remember that there were
carving masters in those daYs-pro
fessors of the art. They were itinerants.
They did not keep school. They went
from house to house and taught the
ladies. As for their social position, |
have not ascertained it. Probably they
were classed with the itinerant portrait
painter. Certainly they did not sit at
table with the gentlefork. | fear that
their place was the kitchen, and that
Lady Mary took her lessons IN that
room surrounded by the admiring
maids. But the only thing she carved
was mutton or beef. You had TO
break a deer, rear goose, lift Swad,
sauce capon, spoil hen, frush a
chicken, unbrace mallard, unlace
cony, dismount heron, display a
crane, disigure a peacock, unjoint
bittern, untack curlew, alaye phea-
SAINT, wing a partridge or quail, mince
a plover, thigh pigeon or any other
small bird and border game pie.
The acquisition of these terms was
only the beginning of knowledge. And
they tell me-the men who can remem.
Der dinner party when James II or
William III was kIng-that there has
never been any carving since to COM
pare with the Carving OF her ladyship.

THE HERITAGE.


The rich mans son inheritS lands
And miles of bricS and stone ami gold,
And he inherits soft. white hau4s
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear garment old,
A heritage, it seems to me,
One scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son inhcritS cares,
A bank my break the factory burn,
A breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft white hands could hardly earn
A living that woud serve his turn;
A heritage, ii seems to me,
Cue scarce would wish to hold in fee.
The rich mans son lnhcritS wants,
His stomach Graves for dainty fare;
With sated heart he hears the pants
OF toiling hands with brown arms bare,
And wearieS in his easy chair;
A heritage, it seems to nc,
One scarce would wish to hold in lee.
What do.h the poor mans son inhctit'
Stout muscles and sinewy heart
A hardy frame, handler spirit,
King OF two hands, he does his part
In every useful toll and art;
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish to hold in Tee.
What doth the poor mons son inherit!
Wishes DER Ioycd with humble things
A rank adIuiged by toii-won merit,
Content that irola employment springs,
a heart that in its labor sings;
a heritage, it seems to me
A king might wish to hold in fee.
What doth the poor mans son inherit:
a patient learned OF being poor;
Courage il sorrow came, TO hear it,
y fellow feeling that is snre
To make the outcast bless his door,
A heritage. it seems to me,
4 king might wish to hold in tee.
@ rich mans son. there is toll
That with all others level stands!
Large charity doth not soil,
But only whiten, soft, white hands
This is the best crop from thy lands:
A heritage, it seems to me,
A king might wish TO hold in fee.
o poor mans son, scorn not thy state!
There is worse WEAKNESS than thine,
In merely bein.: rich and great
Toll only gives the soulto shine,
And makes rest fragrant and benign;
\ heritage, it seems to me,
Worth being poor to hold in fee.
Both, heirs to some six feet Of soil,
Are equal IN the earth at last.
Both, children the same dear God,
Prove little to your heiship vast
BY record Of Il well filed past;

Well worth 4 life to hold in fee.

If You Burn Yourself.

The pain from slight burns is very great
An excellent application is thick paste Of
common bBking soda moistened with water,
spread on piece of linen or cotton, and
bound on the part. This can be kept wet
by squeezing water on it from sponge or
cloth until the smarting is soothed.
A thick coating of starch can be used
instead of the soda, or wheat flour if moth.
ing better can be had, but neither should
be applied if the skin is broken. In this
case it is better to use vaseline, olive or lin
seed oil. The doctor will apply some prep
aration containing carbolic acic.
If the air can be efiectually excluded
from burn the pain is relieved.
Blisters should be pricked and the fluid
absorbed with a soft cloth before dressing.
If the clothing adheTes to the skin the
loose part should be cut away and the
patches of material soaked in warm water.
When the injury is extensive the sufferer
will be Frustrated and may die from the
shock Heat should be applied to the eX-
tremities and over the heart, and hot
drinks given until the doctor comes.
In burns from strong acid the part
should be covered with dry baking soda
or lime, as the alkali will neutralize the acid
No water should be used, but cosmolint
or oil applied after the alkali has been
brushed off.
When the burn has been caused by al
alkaIi an acid must be used. A person
recovering from the effects of burr
requires very nourishing food.-LddieS
