SHE NEEDS RECREATION.
Mt Least Two Hours Each Day
for Thorough Rest.

Too many wives and mothers on the
farm pay very little attention to the
duty they owe themselves in their de-
sire to be useful to their family. They
are usually the first one up in the
morning and the last to retire at
night. The husband has been out in
the field all day and is tired, and he
never thinks of the many steps the
wife has taken during the day.
Every woman should take at least
two hours every day for rest and
recreation. She may employ the time
sleeping, reading or in any amuse-
ment which will tend to rest both
body and mind.
Some mothers allow their daugh-
ters to idle their time away, saying
they will have enough trouble after
awhile. Or, they would rather do the
work themselves than bother to see
whether the girls do it right. This
is a sad mistake. The child grows up,
knows nothing of homework and
when she has home of her own
does not know how to manage it,
therefore the mother spoils the child's
usefulness and happiness.
I believe the wife should do her
share, but the husband should also
do his share, and so it is the wifes
duty to herself to ask him to help
her when his work is not too urgent.
I have seen wives do all the house
cleaning, soap making, garden max
ing, chicken raising, tending of the
milk and churning, washing, ironing,
baking, besides getting three meals
every day, making beds, sweeping and
scrubbing and never think of asking
the husband for little help This is
all wrong.
Her duty to herself is to take all the
recreation she can after doing her
duty by her family. If there is a
spare horse she should occasionally
take a drive, but this is liable to be
overdone and she is expected to do all
the errands necessary to be done;
then it ceases to be restful.
There is but little danger of a true
wife and mother taking too much lib
erty in the way of recreation and rest.
There is many husband who never
realized the worth of his wife until
he had let her work herself into a
premature grave and repents when it
is too late.-Wm. II. Fackler, in Prai-
RE Farmer.

NOT VERY EXPENSIVE.
How to Construct an Effective and
Satisfactory System of SiphOn-
ing Water from Wells.

If the ground is sufficiently undulat-
ing, so that the bottom of the well is
three feet higher than the point where
the water is wanted, the supply can
be easily and cEeaply secured by means
of siphon. Use an inch galvanized
iron pipe and hurry it out of reach of
frost. All the fixtures necessary are
pipe bent to 60 down into the well
and faucet at the discharge end. The
general arrangement is shown in the
engraving. There are little devices
which can be secured at hardware
stores which will make it easy to fill
the pipe should it become empty.
At the house end, if an outdoor faucet
il wanted, what is called stop and

ImprovinE Seed Corn.

We notice in an exchange that a
farmer has brought to the office of his
local papers 16 ears of field corn, aver
aging IA inches long, and weighing 171As
pounds. It was the common yellow
corn, originally eight rcwed, but by
careful selection he has brought much
of it up to ten or IL rows. We call
that improving it the wrong way for
the northern states. We have seen 12-
rowed corn many time here in New
England, and seldom saw anyone who
cared to grow it the third year. The
cob is so coarse that it does not dry out
readily, and unless the season is very
favorable it is liable to mold. Possibly
it may do better in more southern
climate, but we want no 12-rowed vel
low corn here.-American Cultivator.

+ A COddled Egg.

A coddled egg is cooked in it's shell,
but it is not boiled. Drop eggs one by
one into a boiling kettle of water. Let
the water come to the boiling point
again; then set it back where it will
remain closely covered at the same tenn
perature for ten minutes. The egg will
be cooked evenly through. but still soft
and jellied. To cook eggs hard keep the
eggs in water at the boiling point for
25 minutes. Drop them for an instant
in cold water to peel off the shell; then
lay them in a warm napkin in hot.
covered dish. If they cannot be served
at once they can be kept in a covered
basin of water at the boiling point un-
til they are needed.-N. Y. Tribune.

COMPENSATION.

Through clouds that skim the darkening
sky
We best can see the sun.
Up rugged sleeps, in life's hard ways.
Are noblest victories won.
The iron plowshare's shining blade
More fertile makes the field;
The grain that's hardest threshed. in truth,
Most precious harvests yield.
Down mountain heights, DER stony beds,
The purest waters flow;
Each sanity life, each conquering hand,
The cross of pain must know.
To spirits grieved and hearts that ache
The sweetest songs are born;
The nightingale in darkened cage
Sings first to greet the morn.
From the fair bloom the foot has crushed
Fragrant perfumes arise:
Fair are the visions Heaven grants
To dim and sightless eyes.
Be still, 0 Soul! into Gods hand
Thy richest treasures give;
Subject to His unerring will
Shalt thou most nobly live.

Rice Toast.

This is delicate and delicious, and as
a foundation for minced chicken,
broiled tomatoes and the like will be
found a delightful variation from that
made of bread. To make, wash cupful
of rice carefully, throw into a sauce
pan of boiling water and boil, uncov-
cred, at gallop for half an hour; add
salt at the last, then throw into the
collander, shake well and put collander
and all on plate in the. oven to dry off
little. Now press half an inch thick
into dish, put on a weight and allow
to become cold; then cut into slices.
Put first in crumbs, then in egg, then
in crumbs again, and cook brown in

Keeping Bees on Farms.

Bees may be kept with advantage
on every farm, if only one or two hives
are allowed. Fees assist in fertilizing
the blossoms of some plants and per-
form valuable service. If no bees are
kept in neighborhood it is possible
that failure of fruits may be due to
that cause, and it is matter that de-
serves consideration by farmers. Bees
give large profit, and though be-
ginner must learn something of them
to succeed, yet the modes of manage
ment are not difficult to understand

Have No Use for Their Toe.

If shoes go on forever, why should
not our toes grow together? We have
no use for them. We can't manage
them. About one man in 1000 can pull
on his interossei muscles and spread
out his toes. In the remaining 99g
these muscles are as dead as fiber. They
haven't been used since the infant
stuck his toes in his mouth and crooned
baby song without words. If we
wore mittens all the time the individ-
ual control of our fingers would be lost.
We eat so much soft food that we have
scarcely any need of teeth. Gums
would answer every purpose, as masti-
cation is performed by machinery be-
fore we begin a meal. There are over
200 distinct muscles in the human body,
of which the best of us keep about 100
in prime condition by proper use.-N.

satisfied if he knows the difference
in price of the various makes and the
points of advantage in the mechanism
of the different brands on the mar

obliged to have. If care is taken to
thus inform himself when there is no
rush, and when the corn-planter,

farmer feels that he has not "gone it

JUDGING BY MACHINERY.


There can be no question but that the
time is rapidly approaching when attn
letic contests will all be settled in ac-
cordance with the rulings of a piece of
mechanism. For several months the
pugilistic world has been paying no lit
tie attention to the electric time-keeper
and the assertion that several of the ring
scandals that have during this
time would not ave happened If this
mechanical time piece had been used has
caused no little comment.
The prize ring, however, is not the
only athletic field which such a piece of
mechanism is ITO be used in the near
future, for the latest invention is a judg-
ing machine that is now being quite
generally called into reouisition by the
managers of h %sprinting contests in
the old country. The complaint in Eng
land, as in all other parts of the world,
is that the human eye and voice are
painfully inadequate for registering the
result of a footrace. Close contests
OF this character nave almost always
resulted in disagreernents and a display
of ill-feeling that is thoroughly foreign
to the spirit that ought to prevail in the
athletic arena. When the judging ma
chine comes into general use, however, all
this will be obviated.
This machine, which is the invention
of an Australian athelete, is designed 20

Since the announcement was made Of

who would go to Paris for this years
racing season there has been a decided
change in the minds of the racing men.
and now there is a decided movement
among them to see who can stay at homs
says a New York dispatch. This change
is due to occurrences of comparatively
recent date. The first one, and that
which undoubtedly had most to do with
it, was the announcement by the Amer
lean Bicycle company THAT it would re-
vive THE tbme-honored custom of putting
racing cams on the road.
Following close upon this announce
ment comes the first team contract Of
the season. The men engaged are Nc
Farland n Stevens, the famous team.
These men intended to go to Paris
unt1l'the middle of last week, when they
were engaged by one of the largest man
ufacturing concerns in the bicycle bust

Paris and will star for the entire season
