COLONIAL INGENUITY,
Useful Articles Made by the Early New
Englanders.

Englanders.
1t has been said that the snowshoe
and canoe as made by the Indians could
never be improved. To these might be
added the split birch broom, or splinter
broom, also the invention of the Indi-
ans, but made i'll every country house
hold in New England in colonial days.
The branch of a large birch tree was
cut eight feet long. An inch-wide band
OF the bark was left about IS inches
from one end, and the shorter and
lower end was cut in fine, plia BILE sliv-
ers up to the restraining bark band. A
row of slivers was cut from the upper
end downward, turning down over the
band, and tied firmly down; then the
remainder of the stick was smoothed
INTO handle. These brooms were PHI
able, clearly and enduring, and as
broom-corn was not grown here until
the latter part of the past century they
were, in fact, the only brooms of those
days. They were made by boys on New
England farms for six cents apiece and
bought by the country storekeepers in
large numbers for the cities use.
1hese were not the only domestic
utensils that the boys whitfield, for In
ehe universal manufacture of house
noId supplies the boys joined; and, as
Dan!el Webster said, the Yankee boy
Jackknlfe was the direct forerunner OF
tne cotton-gin and hundreds of other
1ankee inventions. The boys from
earnest days made trenches and trays,
wooden pans in which - set milk, and
wooden bread troughs. hey made also
outter paddles of red cherry, noggins,
keelers, rundlets, fails, cheese-hoops,
cheese ladders, salt mortars, pig
troughs, pokes, sled neaps, ax-helves,
ooX traps, reels, bobbins, handles for
all PIGMENTS, hay-rakes, and scores
OF other wooden implements. They
also employed themselves in sticking
wire teeth in wool-cards. The strips of
pierced leather and bent teeth were
supplied by the card manufacturer, and
the children received a petty sum for
the finished cards. In every household
every spare moment was occupied in
doing something which would benefit
the home.-Alice Morse Earle, in Chau-
tauquan.

Settled by the Cinematograph.

The cinematograph has settled an
important international question be
tween France and Russia that might
otherwise have added to the prevailing
political uncertainty in Europe. 1t
seems that Prince Bismarck, in an in
tervlew with German newspaper man,
recently observed that President Faure,
during his visit to Russia few months
ago, had behaved with perfect pro
prlety except upon one occasion. This
was when, at his arrival at st. Peters
burg, he reviewed the Cossack troops
which acted as his guard of honor. He
was said to have returned their salute
by simply touching his hat, instead of
taking off his hat as the protocol pre-
scribes. Bismarck's criticism was
brought to the French presidents at
tention, who cudgeled his brain to re-
member what form of salute he gave
on that momentous occasion, but in
vain. Neither could any of his com
rades recall. But the other day the
cinematograph, which seems to have
kept an unwearied eye on President
Faure's movements in St. Petersburg,
was Intercepted upon the point, and
was able to return satisfactory an
swer. 1t disclosed a reproduction of
the scene of the presidents arrival at
Petersburg, showing him walking
slowly in front of the ranks of his
guard of honor, taking off his hat with
large sweeping gesture of the most
correct style. Prince Bismarck had
been deceived the protocol was safe;
President Faure breathed easily again.

Guessing Weights of Cattle,

To guess closely upon weights of cat
tie requires much the same talent that
is required for successful feeder of
animals. 1t must be born with the man
and grow with his growth, and be kept
at its best by frequent exercise. 1t re-
quires an eye quick to notice any varia
ton in condition. The feeder needs tc
be all the time watching for such
changes, as well as for any symptoms of
Illness. They must take his eye at a
glance, and almost without thought
upon his part, even as discord strikes
the ear of the musician, and he must be
sufficiently acquainted with his business

AMONG THE POULTRY.

Keep the chickens and their quarters
clean.
Having high perches often causes
humble foot.
Supply raw bone, either crushed or
IN the form of meal.
With laying hens wheat may be the
principal grain food.
So far as is possible the food should
be varied every few days.
Push the Matching. TAG early Matched
pullets make the besx winter layers.
Tobacco stems or leaves placed in the
nests will aid i'll keeping them free
from vermin.
Observe which hens are the best lay
ers and breed from them. Such traits
are hereditary.
With large breeds one cock to every 10
hens is sufficient; with small breeds
, one to every IS hens.
Give the fowls all the range and eX-
ercise that the weather will permit from
this time on until spring.
