their omission from a list of cooking
implements.
Very often the table knife, large or
small size, has to do duty for a multi
tude Of operations, whereas for pota-
to peeling, for instance, for trimming
fllets. outlets, etc, totally different
blades are required. Then, again. for
slicing cucumbers etc, the little knife

slice is quite the most convenient thing
to have, whilst for other purposes
other distinct blades are almost a
necessity. OF course, these imple-
ments are not really Indispensable,
but certainly they add in no small de-
gree to the comfort of those using

Results in Loss of V~aIuabIcs.
Little sympathy is aroused in the
average man when he hears that a
woman of the day has been Il victim
of pickpockets, and, as a rule, If he Is
at all outspoken, his comment will be:
1T served her right" Most men think.
and there is reason in their idea, that
the dress of Il woman to-day is an in
vitation to the light-tingered gentry.
She wears her watch dangling from a
fragile chatelaine, the other end of
which is attached insecurity to her
belt OF pinned to the dress waist; or
she may reverse the order of things
and put the watch in her belt, while
from it a light chain depends, and on
that she wears a charm frequently as
heavy as the timepiece itself. In either
case a deft thief could disengage the
entire outfit without much effort. The
practice of carrying a p~ocketbook in
the band is a careless one, II women
who lose their purses have only them
selves to blame, says the New York
Tribune. The man or woman VINO
would make a name for himself or
herself should devise a safe and con-
venient pocket for a woman's dress.

The Girl That PIeases.

Popular opinion declares that a girl
i've and pretty. Experience, however,
convinces one hat the girl who
pleases possesses a refinement, charm
and grace essentially her own. In
dresr she is simple, neat and clean,
anL. she uses a pin where a but
ton is lacking or a few stitches have
been broken. Her hands, instead of
being small and lily white, are usually
red and large. and sometimes you will
notice a roughness of the palms which
mutely tell a tale of love and labor for
an invalid mother, or, as sometimes is
the case, work for an Indifferent and
cruel step-parent. But notwithstand-
ing the size and color of her hand, her
touch is soft and firm-a touch that
sends a thrill of pleasure through you.
Whatever her duties are, she knows
them. and does not quail if she finds
them disagreeable and difficult. Her
whole being is so full of cheerfulness
and content that to the weary mind
her presence is like a ray of sunshine.
She is the particular friend whom
many persons, men and women, are
proud to claim.
Unless you are willing, she never
talks, and when she does her CONVEX
sation is very pleasant. But the mo-
ment she detects pain or displeasure
she dexterously changes the subject
without mourning a painful silence.
She is greatly interested in your do
ings, and if you are in trouble will
listen attentively without any criti-
cism or rebuke, and very often will
advise and warn you. Her success is
mostly due to the TACT that she is not
retrospective and self-conscious, but
loving, kind, true, patient, gentle and
meek.-Hypatia Boyd in Evening Wis

Breed for the Farm.

Every farmer has his own choice as
to the breed Of horse he wants for his
own use Blu in view of the fact that
the demand for horses for city and vii
lage Uses is still diminishing, Il plea
Of the Canadian Stock journal for
heavy draft horses, has increased
force. 1t would seem to be true. says
the editor, that farm horses are often
too light than too heavy. When. for
instance. three horses are required to
draw a pillow which two heavy horses
can pull without difficulty, 1t would
seem to be the better way to use the
two than the three. We never could
see the advantage of using three light
horses at farm work In preference to
two heavy ones. The two should GER
tainly require less food than the three.
they want less grooming, and should
be less expense in every way.
Add to these practical suggestions
the fact that the surplus colts raised
now have little or no market and it
would seem to be wise to breed the
horses adapted to farm purposes.
Comparatively light horses for city
horse-car service will probably never
again be in large demand. Even the
horses for fancy turnouts Of the
wealthy in cities and villages and the
average horses Of the less p%retentious
families are said to be in less demand
than I'VE before. This Is accounted
for in part from the greatly increased
use of the electric cars. and with the
young people, the bicycle. The family
team Is supplanted by these modern
inventions Farm, Field and Fireside.

Farm Notes.

Be sure the yards are roomy.
Dampness Is a great fowl destroyed
and germ generator.
Keep'the hen scratching and you are
very apt to keep her laying also.
See that water has a chance to run
off the yards even If you have to put
in Il few tile.
Puddle holes are enemies to good
health in hens, and ducks are better
with pure water than foul.
Fill up the holes hat are inclosed in
your hen yard with good soil and give
the grass a chance to grow.
Unless your corn is very backward
1t is past its prime for fodder, yet if
short of feed do not delay cutting now.
Saco, Me-, is Dragging of a 2.O55.
pound COW that it declares is the larg-
est one in the world.
If you can get broken rice cheaply,
1t will form an excellent variety for
your young chicks.
About n ounce per day for each
hen is the amount of cut green bone
to use in winter or in confinement
where no insects can be had.
Don't stop harvesting to talk poll
ties. though both are important. Har-
vesting depends on the season and
politics we have always with US.
The goose has not the reputation
that the turkey has, but 1t makes a
fine roast and many prefer it to tur-
key.
A thoroughly nourished calf that
has had no impeachment to its natural
development has a long start ON the
road toward making a profitable COW.
1t costs no more money to manufac-
ture oleomaryarine in winter than in
summer. while this is not true of win
ter dairying. In many localities this
unequal competition has been stopped

UNITED STATES POST orrrcw.
1t Handles ms Much Mall Matter MS
the Whole of Europe.

the Whole of Europe.
The United States has 70,0o0.00O
population. Europe has 3S0,000.O00,-
But the United States postofiice han
dies about as much mail matter as all
Europe put together. In 1895 the
United States railway mail handled
1877 $1,000 pieces. Mulhall gives
the number of pieces in all Europe as
0,237, 100000 in 1888. Some increase
has taken place since then, and Rus
STA is omitted from Mulhall's tables;
but the aggregate to-day is not over
IL 100000. 900 or just about equal to
our railway mail service mail.
The cost of our mail service is far
below the aggregate of all Europe.
The entire cost of our postal system lii
1888 was SS4,321 ,4S9. A return just
made by the Berne International Blu
reau gives the expenses of the eight
European nations, which combine pest
and telegraph expenses, at $1S5, 600
BOO. The expenses of nine nations
which have a post Office alone were
500. 100000. In all Europe handled in
1893 about II. 600. 900 pieces for
$210.000. 900, while this country han
died about the same number of pieces
for $S5,O 900.
This disproportion is. however, no
credit to the United States. 1t is due
to the fact that in almost all Euro
peans countries farmers have their
mail delivered at their doors. Here
the farmer is required to go for his
mail. Abroad rural and city districts
are treated alike in free delivery. save
that deliveries are more frequent in
cities than in the country.

Best Place for Manure.

ntS hIHct IOr MANURE.
when manur Is In the soil, 1t il
undergoing the very best process of
decomposition possible, and it is in
that position in which no possible loss
OF Its volatile elements can occur"
says Henry Stuart. IF it Is in the
open air these escape and go off on
the wings of the wind to fertiliZe other
fields. If 1t is left in heaps In the
yard decomposition takes place and
there is loss of these same valuable
elements. But when in the soil it Is
damp and is acted upon by the porous
soil, which, as all porous substances
do, causes rapid decomposition and
holds h volatile parts of it firmly by
absorption. This action Is known as
%occlusion. or the taking In and hold
Ing of gaseous matters by porous sub
stances. Fol instance. charcoal has
the power of occluding in it's very small
pores no less than ninety times it's
bulk of ammonia in the form of a gas.
And, as a fertile soil has a large GUAM
tity of organic matter in a state of
carboniZation, which makes 1t akin to
charcoal in this action, this ammonia,
copiously evolved from decaying ma
nure, is taken in and firmly held, to
be afterward given up to the plants
that need it for food.
Thus it is that the best place for
the manure is In the soil, and the best
time to get it there Is as soon as pos
sible. Thus, too, it Is o true that
1t is a waste of manure to put it in
the soil just now, but, on the contrary,
the very best thing to be done. In
short, a top dressing for any other
crops than those that must be served
In this way, Is a mistake. So that the
ground where the wheat or rye is to
go may very wisely be MANFRED at
once, if only the manure is got into
the soil. And this soft, absorbent mat
ter does not dry the soil, but keeps 1t
