"Mme. la Marechale may enter" The

saying, with engaging graciousness:

La Marechale, instead of answering,
winked intelligently, and then, turning

Polishing the Silver.

While Gen. Cavaignac was chief of the
executive power in Paris, under the Sec
ond Republic, he one day invited to dim
ner an old comrade, Commandant X.
The commandant never went into soci-
ETY. and took his meals at restaurant;
but he could not refuse an invitation
from his old friend. The guests We're no
sooner at table than the commandant
began to wipe his knife and fork with his
napkin. The general, who had his eye
on him, beckoned to servant and told
him to bring another knife and fork.
Again the commandant proceeded to wipe
them, and again the servant took them
away. This little comedy was repeated
seven times. Then the commandment be-
came suspicious, or perhaps lost his pa
tience. Look here!'' he exclaimed;
what does all this mean? Have you in

and crockery?" Everyone laughed, ex-

A Homemade Barley Fork.


Most farmers have two or three USE
less grain cradles which may easily be
converted into serviceable implements.
Cut off the cradle fingers 26 inches from
the point and shave q inch Of the large
end Of each to fit into 3s hole. Split
out a piece of tough wood 20 inches
long and q inch square, and bore four
IS inch holes through the stick 6 inches
apart and drive the fingers in and
wedge them tight. Split out another
tough piece 10 inches long, X inch
wide and u inch thick, into which bore
four gimlet holes 6 inches apart; bore
a gimlet hole in each finger inches
from the head piece and with four
rivets long enough to reach through,
fasten this piece securely to the fingers
on the outer side. For the handle, an
old shovel handle is the best thing, as
the crook makes the fork easy to use.
Where the handle rests on top Of the
head piece it should be fastened with
a little bolt or stout rivet; and where
the end Of the handle, which should be
f1attened, goes under the other cross
piece it can be secured by a rivet. The
bow to keep the barley, etc, from slid
ing down the handle can be made OF a

Fields that Do Not PAY.

It needs a thorough understanding of
the capabilities of any farm to make it
pay the most that is possible for it. Very
often these possibilities are not learn
ed except after costly experience. There
are some fields that have fertility
enough to produce good crops, but are
so covered with stones that blowing
costs more than it ought. Such fields
should be kept in grass as much as pos
sible until the farmer finds time to clear
away the distractions to the plow.
Steep hillsides may be rich enough to
be cropped, though they are not apt
to be. They should generally be kept
in grass, for if cultivated and left naked
through the winter, much Of the surface
soil will be washed away by spring
floods. AS rule, on most farms nearly
all the profit is made from few fertile
fields. These are the places to put the
bulk Of the manure, gradually extend
ing the MANFRED area as it can be got
in good condition for blowing.

Protecting Young Orchards.

All young orchards are likely to he
injured by mice in winter, especially
when the ground is covered by heavy
snow. Frequent visits to the orchard,
piling the snow and compacting it
around the trees, are the best proven
tives. If mouse tracks are seen, trace
them to the hole where the animal has
made it's home. A few grains of corn
soaked in strychnine will keep the
mouse or any of it's family from leav-
ing the hole alive. The poisoned grain
should not be left around the tree on
the surface of the ground, for it will
destroy the animals that make mice
their prey, and which should be encour>
aged rather than destroyed.

The Time to Kill Pigs.

1t usually pays best to kill pigs by the
time they weigh 80 pounds, and from
that up to 200. If allowed to grow
much heavier than this the cost Of food
in proportion to gain is increased, ex-
cept when the hogs become too sluggish
and fat to take exercise, but after that
the grain is at the expense of health

Roller Skating Revived.

Roller skating. says New York letter,
is being revived. This once fashionable
and long since extinct pastime is being
resurrected again, and will be one of the
most popular of Lenten diversions. When
this season arrives society will be provid-
ed with one more amusement, which, be-
cause of it's long disuse, will almost have
an element of novelty in it. 1t will GER
tainly be a pleasant change from sewing
classes, French lectures, morning mu-
sicales and theater parties. Aside from
the pleasure attending roller skating, it
admits of such graceful motions, such
chic costumes, that it is promised to
eclipse bicycling in the favor of fash
ionables, and even the most earnest en-
thusiasts of the wheel acknowledge it
quite equal to their own favorite sport,
from the standpoint of healthy exercise.

The Greatest Medical Discovery
of the Age
KENNEDY'S
MEDICAL DISCO VERY.
DONALD KENNEDY, OF RoxBURY, MASS.

UUHALU kEHNLDI, UT nUADUnls MAOOss
Has discovered in one of our common
pasture weeds remedy that cures every
kind of HuE1or, from the worst Scrofula
down to common Pimple.
He has tried it in over eleven hundred
cases, and never failed except in two cases
(both thunder humor). He has now in his
possession over two hundred certificates
of it value, all within twenty miles OF
Boston. Send postal card for book.
A benefit is always experienced from
the first bottle, and perfect cure is war
ranted when the right quantity is taken.
When the lungs are affected it causes
shooting pains, like needles passing
through them; the same with the Liver or
Bowels. This is caused by the ducts being
stopped, and always disappears in a week
after taking it. Read the label.
If the stomach is foul or bilious it will
cause squeamish feelings at first.
No change of diet ever necessary. Eat
the best you can get, and enough of it.
Dose, one tablespoonful in water at bed
time. Sold by all Druggists.
