AUNT JENNIE's LETTER.

Are you having the little folks
memorize the poetry that is appear
ing on this page each week? If you
are doing this, they will in after years
appreciate your watchful solicitude
and will be glad of having for their
very own gleanings from the best
poets of our English tongue. What
one learns a be carried with him
everywhere with perfect oonven
ience; no searching of books for
certain quotations that are only par.
TALLY remembered. These poems
have been selected with great care,
and each n of the series is worth
memorizing.
1 was very much impressed with
Julia Ward Howe's article in our
last issue on the subject, "The High
est Type of Girl" Read it if you
have not done so.
We have letters this week from
Kentuckienne, Mrs. L. E. F., and
Mrs. Kate A. Organ The story
Mrs. ORGAN tells has it's lesson and
some men would profit by learning it.
What has become of our boys? I
can't think that they have been
duped by the cherry tree swindlers
or THE Constitution" humbugs as
1 fear some of our girls have been.
And since the perpetrators of these
frauds have been arrested I hope
that our girls have learned to be
very careful in taking up alluring
schemes of money making.

TOILET HINTS.
AUNT JENNIE.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Il fear some
of the young readers of The Pro

tuckienne is q walking encyclopedias
in regard to beauty hints, etc. l am
sure of n thing when: not too busy,
1 love to respond to all SUCH in
quiries, and to help girls along, es-
pecially to keep a good complexion.
The best help TO a beautiful COM
plexion is proper cleanliness. Not
only are the pores of the face to be
kept active, but those of the entire
body. A capital idea for those who
cannot stand the shock of the cold
bath is to rub the entire body over
with a bristle brush. This may be
done within three minutes and will
set the blood a-tingling wonderfully.
The value of this pore awakening
cannot be over-estimated, and any
mi will feel more than repaid
by it's effect upon cheek or brow.

devote a little time each day to the
improvement of her appearance. To
keep the hair healthy and soft it
should be brushed every night and
morning. Use lysterine and borax
to brush the teeth daily.
The greatest foe to a good COM
plexion is hard water. Avoid it as a
p~estilenoe and keep a box of pow
dered- borax on your washstand and
put a pinch in the face-water to sof
ten it. This is excellent to keep the
skin smoothe and soft. The great
est beauty 1 ever knew used it every
day in her bath.

SEEK THE BEAUTIFUL AT HOME

A man once resolved TO seek and
find the beautiful. He thought of
the mountains of Switzerland and
the beautiful plains of Italy and the
forests of America and other won
ders of the world; but, before his
plans settled, a voice seemed to
say to him, "Begin at home" Yes,
the beautiful is always with US. You
a make the place where God has
put you beautiful. If it is but an
attic in a poor-house, or a Preside, or
a bench in a workshop, or a seat in
school, or a place in your mothers
heart-make it beautiful. And the
sadder and the darker the place, be
the more eager to make it beautiful.
Love which loves others unselishly
is the great beautiier Ram Horn.

newer coat and jacket sleeves are
greatly enlarged in size, particularly

reason that the elaborate sleeve of

choose. Is it true? Can we Obllter-
ate circumstances or consequences
and live superior to them? Is there
no retrospect? Can we forget to
regret? Could you overcome sor-
row and forget to be sad? Joy is a
delightful sensation, but could we
appreciate it's blessings if we know
no sorrow? "Spring would indeed
be but gloomy weather if we had
nothing else but spring" A cloud
less sky is we'll for several days in
succession, but how tired we would
be of the sunshine if we saw no

mortal man a Paradise, for man is
not capable of approaching the joys
that surround the immortal. We're
conditions surrounding him identi-
cal and he still mortal, earth could
not be heaven to him.

full examples of manner, of those

in the South to-day, although i'm
poverished and without one of the
appurtenances of worldly standing,
there exists, in shabby gowns and

emulation is to be commonplace, and
nothing that is commonplace can be
fashionable. Therefore, 1 repeat
that fashionable society is beyond
remedy but in the smaller circles,
where refinement and thought bear
some, although not an important,
part, there could be a modification
of the evil as it now exists. We
could invite only those persons to
our house whom we really liked and
really wished TO entertain. We
could say in greeting and in parting
only those things which we really
mean. We could look for the pleas
ATTEST in our friends natures, in
stead of commenting upon them unfa-
vorably behind their backs. We
could determine that we would say
only those things which we really
feel, and feel the things which we
permit ourselves TO say. If you can
not say to a woman, 81 am glad to
see you" don't invite her. If a wo,
man whom you hate asks you to
dinner, don't go. Give up some por-
ton of so-called society and make
that in which you mingle and to
which you lend your o~ountenance
sincere, for in sincerity lies manner,
while i~nsincerity breeds manners.
Indeed, the point of view of the
present day is so hopelessly wrong,
so irretrievably perverted, that few
can discriminate between the woman
of and the woman of man
ners. To most women Society
means Clothes. And to the woman
in whose mind both these words
always form themselves in capital
letters with a row of electric lights
below them and a gilt canopy above
them, what does the fine difference
between name and manners, be-
tween sincerity and hypocrisy, be-
tween a woman of refinement and a
woman of fashion, signify? Moth.
ing The true significance of events,
the real meaning of progress, is not
within her ken, and the poor little
tin god which she worships has feet
of clay.
The woman Of manner is never
obliged to concern herself with these
definitions and differences. She was
born noble, and if you questioned
her as to the secret of her manner
which you women of manners with
all your striving can never acquire
the most definite description she
could give you would be that in her
code of life

SOME POULTRY QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

DEAR AUNT JENNIE Since writ
ing my former letter giving my OK
perience with incubator Matched
chickens, I have received letters
from various parts of the country,
(many of whom forgot to inclose
postage) and I therefore deem it
expedient to answer in a general way
the questions asked me.
LIST. When is the best time to buy
an incubator? My observations say:
the sooner the better, as a little
experience is very beneficial to
those who are unaccustomed to
using them. While the adjustment
is very simple and easily understood,
yet I do not forget that it is now
much easier for me to manage one
than when I first undertook to do
so. A large number of people, many
of them intelligent, make a failure
of the first hatch, &c that by begin
ming early you will have acquired
valuable information by the time
you are really ready to begin active
operations.
End. What is the best breed to
raise? That depends entirely upon
circumstances. If raising solely for
a quick market for the table, I have
found that none give better returns
than the Plymouth Rocks, as they
grow very rapidly and furnish a very
desirable quality of meat. There
are doubtless others just as good,
but I have not experimental with
them. If you intend raising high
priced fancy fowls, then almost
every breed has it's champion, and
whichever one is chosen will return
good profits if handled intelligently
and hept up to the highest standard.
How much ground will I need? is
frequently asked. It is a question
impossible to answer, as it all de-
ponds upon the magnitude of the
business. Some of my neighbors
are making a @ of the poultry
business upon a comparatively small
piece of ground, while n l now
think of has a farm of 800 acres,
which he is devoting exclusively to
the raising of various kinds of
fowls.
It would extend this article indefi
nitely to answer all the questions
asked, so I will leave the others for
future articles, and bring this to an
abrupt close by saying, that if you
buy a first class incubator and
brooder, select your eggs from a
good strain of birds, operate your
machine intelligently, and follow the
instructions given by the manufac.
turer-who knows more as to their
capabilities than you could possibly
know-you are bound to make
money. MRS L, e, T.

NOW I LAY ME DOWN TO SLEEPS

The fire upon the hearth is low,
And there is stiffness everywhere;
Like troubled spirits, here and there
The freight shadows iuttering go,
And as the shadows round me creep
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from a further room
Comes: Nov I lay me Town to sleep"
And, somehow, with shat little prayer
And that sweet treble in my ears,
Ny thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with a dear one there;
And, as / hear the child's amen,
NV mothers faith comes back to me,
Couched at her side I seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh for an hour in that dear place.
Oh for the peace of that dear time

Wynken, Blynken, and Nod one night
Sailed off in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river of misty light
Into a sea of dew.
"Where are you going, and what do you wish?"
The old moon asked the three.
1--WE have come to fish for the herring fish
That live in this beautiful sea;
Nets of silver and gold have We"
Said Wynken,
Blynken.
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sung a song,
And they rocked in the wooden shoe,
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruf1ed the waves of dew;
The little stars were the herring fish
That lived in the beautiful sea.
"Now cast your nets wherever you wish,
But never afeard are We :"
So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the tWinkling foam:
Then down from the sky came the wooden shoe
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all so pretty a sail it seemed
AS If is could not be;
And some folks thought twas a dream they dreamed,
Of sailing that beautiful sea
But I shall name you the fishermen three:
Wynken,
Blynken,
And Nod.
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is q wee ones trundle bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be,
And you shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea,
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen three,
