"As his frame, so was his genius. 1t
was as fit for thought as could be, and
equally as unfit for action; and this
rendered him melancholy, apprehens-

best of everything, as it was, both
from tenderness of heart and abhor-
renee of alteration. His understand
ing was too great to admit an S

to deliver it with fear. His sensiblllty
to strong contrasts was h foundation
of his humor, which was that of q
wit at once melancholy and willing TO
be pleased. He would beard a super
stition and shudder at the old phan-

imagined his cracking a jest in the

thin air himself, out of sy mpathy with
the awful. His humor and his know

Saving Ice.

The amount of ice wasted by house
wives, who are ignorant of the best
method of caring for it, is something
fit to fill the heart of the iceman with
joy.
Most people believe that ice has to
melt just so fast, anyhow. and that
whatever is done with it makes no par
~ticrlar difference in it's eyapOrating
qualities.
Therefore they let it go to waste and
pay ice bills highly satisfactory to the
ice dealers.
Observe your cake of ice closely
and YOU will find that it has a grain,
and with q hammer and any sharp in
strument a piece the desired size may
be broken off by breaking with the
grain.
Put into your icebox a fifty-pound
cake twice each week, wrapping it
first in d blanket, then in newspaper,
taking care to cover it closely every
time n piece is taken out.
| Carefully save the water that melts
from the ice for summer toilet pur
poses, as no more luxurious article
could be found for that purpose.
1t is pure, soft water. with sufficien'
chemicals to render 1t q perfec

Fencing and Live stock.

Where live stock is kept a certain
amount of fencing is an absolute ne
cessity. Some provision therefore
should be made for it as carefully as
provision for growing the crop. And
when it is thus made, good fences
should be built, that is to say, strong
fences. A poor fence is not Il bet
ter than no fence, for it Allows '
stock to get into mischief, and prob
ably to do much harm to the growing
crops. But of course the aim should
be to have the fence as cheaply mace
as possible. In sections where posts
can be had and even poles and rails,
those who farm are usually without eX-
cuse if they have not a fair amount
of fencing. The men who farm with
out fences must also farm without live
stock, and when they do in the END
they or their successors come TO gfleI.
Above all there should be paddocks
not far from the buildings. These pad
docks should be strongly fenced. Ihey
do not need to be / imerous, put they
should he sufficient to contine the stock
of the farm when it is necessary tC
confine it. 1t may be objected tina
fences cost money, but it also costS
money to be without them, and it Is
to be feared that it costs more money
| to be without them than to have them
unless it may be on the prairie.
They should be built, even though
| the work can only be done gradually
and they should be extended as CIR
cumstances will admit of it.-North

Color Influence.

Balzac's curious speculations suggest
the extent to which color influences our
human life. He had noticed that q
woman who had taste for orange or
green gowns was quarrelsome; one
who wore a yellow or black apparel,
without apparent cause, was not to be
trusted; preference for white showed a
coquette spirit; gentle and thoughtful
women prefer pink; women who regard
themselves as being unfortunate prefer
pearl gray; lilac Is the shade par
ticularly affected by 'ovcr-ripe beau
ties;' therefore, the great author held
lilac hats are mostly worn by mothers
on their daughters marriage day and
by women more than forty years old
when they go visiting.
These theories are founded upon the
principles of color, as already laid
down-namely, that red and yellow eN
cite; green, tempered by blue, is
bilious; orange is fiery; gray is cold
and melancholy; lilac is a light shade
of purple, the most retiring color OF tho
scale.-Philadelphia Press .

Nicotine stands %unrivalled as the
safest. surest cure for scab and ticks.
1t is the only remedy that does not in
jure or shrink the sheep, while stimu-
lating wool growth. The reason why
waste tobacco is 10 universally used
for a sheep dip is the impossibility OF
preparing a bath from it of uniform
nicotine strength. Another objection
is heavy freight charges on weak to.
bacco extracts or bulk scraps and
stems. At the Skabcura Dip Co.'S
large factory in Chicago, nicotine is
obtained OF uniform strength, guaran-
teed twenty times stronger III any

Salt Boxes for Cattle,

In order to secure q regular Sailing
with a large herd of cattle it is neces-
sary to have salt continually before
them for use at their leisure. Many
farmers use rock salt, scattering it
about the pasture, but even with this
there is waste in wet weather, ana
some danger that cattle will lick out
large Jumps in such q way as to make
q cavity, which sometimes will I'LL with
water and become brine, and too much
of this will produce more or less dls-
order, sometimes even leading in the
case of brood SOWs to abortion. where
barrel salt is used there is much waste
in wet times from melting. The Den
yer Field and Farm suggests a salt
box for cattle, where barrel salt is
used, that seems to meet the case, as
follows:
