FARMERS DOING WELL.
In the Years of Plenty the Wise Ones
Will Make Provisions for the
Uncertain Future.

Prices are going up all over the coun-
try. Agricultural products are in good
demand at home and abroad, at better
prices generally than for the average
of the past ten years. This means
more money for farmers to pay their
debts. and to supply their household
and farm needs. If they pay off their
mortg cages, and other Indebtedness,
capitalists will save more money for
which they will be seeking investments.
If they buy new tools, new clothing or
furniture, carriages or pianos, that
means more business and larger profits
for manufacturers. This again should
bring more steady employment and bet
ter wages for the workingman. Per-
haps the wages may advance more slow
ly than will suit some of them, for
not every manufacturer or employer
feels confident that this improvement
in the business outlook is to be a per-
manent one, but we think that we may
now look for ten or twenty years of
higher prices, higher wages and abun-
dant prosperity, until people get rcek
less and begin to feel that they are safe
in eXpending more than their income
or spending it in advance. Then may
come a panic such as we knew after the
close of the civil war, when people be-
gan to see the need of retrenchment.
We have had many such periods since
this nation was established, and the
improvident ones have enjoyed them
selves in the seasons prosperity and
suffered when the reaction came. 1t is
of little use to offer advice to those who
cannot see the moral for themselves,
or will not heed the lesson it teaches.
The butterflies will bask in the sun
shine and perish in the frost in the
future as in the past, while the provi-
dent bee will store honey in the sum-
her to provide for the wants of the
coming cold weather.-~American Guilt
vator.

WATCH THE SHOULDERS.
They should he Level, large, Erect,
InsensibIy Descending and Del
icately Poised.

A common form of neglect is the
shoulders, which are allowed in child
hood to grow lopsided, and take on an
ungraceful stoop. Often they are
crowded so by ill-ftting corsets that
they seriously displace the collar bone.
Instead of such malformation they
should be level, large, erect, insen-
sibly descending, and well poised,
making the waist appear round and
small. Massage and oils will do much
to tone up the neglected shoulders,
and the skin can be whitened and
made beautifully firm by this paste,
which is of Spanish origin: Beat the
whites of four eggs in rose water,
adding few grains of alum. Beat un-
til the paste is thick. Spread the
composition on a layer of old linen
and apply to the neck and shoulders
at night. French ladies are so ex-
pressive with their shoulders that they
give them every advantage, as their
"shrug" is part of French conversa-
ton. An authority on the subject
says: A difficult habit to break is that
easy, lazy manner of sagging down
when sitting, which, in addition to
sleeping on high pillows, makes so
many round shoulders and sunken
chests. People should always watch
themselves, and when they discover
the fault straighten up; but it is so
easy to settle down in this way after
years of indulgence in the habit that
many get discouraged and prefer to
grow crooked. Let me warn you, la
dies, to be eternally vigilant in ac-
quiring good sitting posture. The
joints you possess were given to you
to bend with, and it is almost a crime
to sag down as if you had no lungs
or other vital organs. Hold in the
backbone, throw the chest out, bend
from the hips only, and SC contribute
to the perfection of your figure, your
beauty and your health.-St Louis Re-
public

REMARKABLE WOMAN.
Miss Fannie w. Tunison Sews, Paints
and Embroiders with Her Teeth
and Tongue.

It has often been said that woman's s
most Trustworthy weapon is her tongue,
but it has been left to Fannie w. Tuni-
son, of Sag Harbor, L. l., to show the
world what very useful organ the
glossal organ really is, says Philadel-
phia Times correspondent.
Thirty years ago Miss Tunison was
born, and, to the grief of her parents,
she was found to be suffering from a
form of infantile paralysis which total
Iy incapacitated her from using either
her upper or lower eXtremities. Her
parents were only poor farmers, in a
small way of business, and Fannie's
af1liction not only weighed feavily upon
their minds, but upon their pockets as
well.
But Miss Tunison has turned her
shortcomings to good account. De-
prived of the use of her limbs, she gets
along perfectly well with her tongue,
and paints, embroiders and writes
better hdnd-or rather mouth-than
most people who are blessed with the
use of their ten digits. She makes more
money, too, than the majority of her
earned over $1,000 by executing orders
for pictures given TO her by summer
visitors at Sag Harbor.
Miss Tunisons work is of no mean or
der. The pictures that she paints com
pare favorably with any amateur art
lists, and she paints with considerable
quicllncss. So proficient is she atwield-
inp the brush with her tongue that she
excels at copying, and she possesses
several canvases that would bring cred
it to any copyist. She is especially good
at painting pictures of the Montauk
Point lighthouse, and the little picture,
which takes her less than 90 minutes to
paint, she sells to visitors for the price
of one dollar.
But it is not only as an artist that
Miss Tunison shines. She is expert at
fancy work as well, and, wonderful as
it may seem, she is perfectly able to
thread her needle and use the scissors.

Mark Ing Household Linen.

1t is customary to mark household
linen which is made before marriage
with the maiden name of the bride,
but after marriage the initial of the
husbands last name is taken. If the
marking is done with ink write the
last name in fun, but if embroidered, use
only the initial. The tablecloths may
be embroidered in the center or in
one corner. | prefer to have all house
hold linen marked in the corners. You
may buy at any of the large dry-goods
stores kid letters in all sizes. from
those suitable for handkerchief up
to those large enough for household
linen. a plain white tablecloth is
suitable for all occasions. Unless one
has an abundance of money it is bet
ter to be content with a good oual-
ity of plain white damask than to in
vest in fancy tablecloths.-Ladies'

To remove burs from the wool in
sheep, the better way is to remove
the burs from the pasture lot before
they mature sufficiently to adhere to
the wool. Once they are in, hard
task is on to displace them. There
are three ways whereby they can be
removed. One is to pick them out
with the fingers, holding the wool IN
such a manner not to pull it direct
from the roots, and pull the wool di-
rect from the bur and allow it to
drop from the fleece. Another way is
to take pair of sheep shears and clip
the wool directly underneath them;
this, however, is wasteful. Another
method would be to take a pair of
long pointed tongs and introduce
them between the sleeps body AMI
the bur, grasp firmly, then with a
cord or long toothed currycomb rake
them out.-R. Logan, in Farm and
Home.

THE HORSES STOMACH.
Ii Is Small and That Is why Hay and
Other bulky Foods Should lie
Fed Sparingly.

Where hay is plentiful, as it is on
most farms, the fact that the horse has
a small stomach seems to be forgotten.
Where on the contrary hay is scarce
and high as in the large cities the feed
ing of hay is much better understood.
To allow any working horse to eat hay
ad libitum is positive cruelty in that it
is injurious to the horse, as this animal
is not provided with large storage APP
paratus as is the cow for the slowing
away of fodder by the hundred pounds.
This being the case great quantity of
hay consumed by working horse, say
al the noon hour, merely becomes bur-
den and eventually leads to Indigestion.
Hay is not digested in the stomach
(Which in the horse holds but three and
half gallons) but in the large in
testines to which also most of the water
goes when imbibed, passing through
the stomach and of course washing out
part of the solid contents present in
that receptacle. On farms where peo-
pie rise very early hay may be fed with
advantage in small quantity if given
say at five a. m. and the oats ration at
six a. m, as time has been given for the
hay to pass into the intestines. There
can, however, be no advantage in feed
ing hay at noon as the working horse
cannot digest it but carries it around
at work until evening comes, when it
can be taken care of by the digestive
apparatus. The proper time to allow
full feed of hay is at eight O'Clock at
night. two hours after the horse has
eaten his oats, and so far as hard
worked horses are concerned, and more
especially in the heated term of mid
summer, this is the only time hay
should be allowed. 1t is absurd and det-
rimental TO allow any horse to stand
and hog" hay all day long, and worse
still if dozens of ears of corn are added
to the ration. Even an idle horse needs
but little hay-not over IA pounds per
day where other good foods are given.
The horses stomach is small, as has
been said, and he needs and should
have concentrated food in small guam
titles at short intervals, We seldom
find a case of "heaves" appear in city
barn where horses are properly man
aged. II is peculiarly a disease of the
farm fed horse and it is due to contin-
ued overburdening of the stomach and
intestines with bulky, dry, coarse fod-
der and hay which are also too often
moldy or full of dust. Many of the
other ailments of the horse are also due
to the same cause, together with lack
of exercise and too much corn. Feed
sound food to the horse in small guam
titles often, prefer oats to corn for
hard work, always water before feed
ing, exercise amply every day of the
year and give the main feed of hay at
night and the farm horse will be

HOSPITAL INCIDEN T.
Curious Way in Which an Ignorant
Foreign Woman Interpreted
Simple Prescription

Doctors and nurses who have to deal
with foreigners in hospitals know by
experience how careful they must be in
the use of words when giving directions
about medicine, otherwise the most or
dinary instructions would be apt to be
misunderstood, with probably fatal re-
suits. The head physician of a we'll
known charitable organization in this
city recently had curious experience
of this kind. A woman had brought her
baby for medical attention. Ii was not
really i'll, but very much needed daily
application of soap and water. The doc
tor gave the mother some medicine for
the child and then directed her to
wash the baby" To many of the for
eigners the word "bathe" is entirely un-

How to DeOdOrize Petroleum

The following rule for deodorizing
petroleum seems to be a good one: Mix
chloride of lime with petroleum i'll the
proportion of three ounces for each
gallon of the liquid to be purified. 1t
should then be introduced into cask,
VI here some muriatic acid should be
added and the mixture well agitated
so as to bring the whole liquid into in
innate contact with the chlorine gas.
Finally, the petroleum should be passed
into another vessel containing slaked
lime, which will absorb the free chlor-
inc and leave the oil sufficiently deodor-
lied and purified.-Ladies' Home Jour
