URGES sELF-REL1ANT WOMEN
Rev. DR.. Savage, of New York, Adj
vocntes Education, and Liberty
2or Them.

In his sermon the other Sunday Rev.
DR.. Savage, pastor of the Church of
the Messiah, of New York, said:
81 believe that the woman who is in
dependent financially, who can earn
her own living, who can stand on her
own feet, and is intelligent enough
so that she understands theconditions
of life, is a thousand times more likely
to make a wise and happy marriage,
to be true mate to her husband and
a noble mother to her children.
cat the present time thousands OF
women are trained with the idea that
they must be married, because there
is no other career open to them that
is respectable.
81 believe that there will be more
true, noble, ideal, happy homes when
women are not compelled to marry,
but are free to choose some one whom
they can both love and respect.
| 81 believe that every girl, no mat
ter how rich her father is, should have
the finest education he can possibly
give her, and that she should be taught
some specific, definite way of earning
/ her living"

NOTES FOR SHEPHERDS.

Feed regularly as well as literally.
Give pulverized alum for scours,
with wheat bran.
Have water convenient for your
sheep. They drink little and often.
Keep the lambs growing from the
start. If fat, sell them when they
weigh 80 to so pounds.
Ewes that prove poor mothers, OF
refuse their own lambs, might as
well go to the butcher.
Do not feed lambs on rape alone,
but accustom them to it gradually
when fed with other fodder.
An authority on lambs for market
says pure-bred or high-grade lambs
should not be kept beyond six
months.
In feeding shredded corn fodder
| to sheep, bran and oats may be
| mixed with the stover to avoid any
trouble that may come from over
feeding of carbonaceous elements.
If sheep have catarrh, put them in
a well-yentilated pen and give each,
twice day in their food, teaspoon
| full of mixture of equal parts dried
sulphate of iron, powdered ginger
and gentian roots. Feed generously
of oats, bran, roots and good hay

There are Is cities containing more
than 10000 negroes, with total pop
Negroes In the ulation OF 'oo'ooo'
Five of these cities
largo Ses' eXcee d 60, o. 90,
namely: Washington, with s6,7O2; Bal
timore, with 79,259; New Orleans, with
77,714; Philadelphia, with 62,613, and
New York, with 60,666. The increase
IN these 10 cities in the last decade has
been 30 per cent. Several cities have
shown surprising rapidity of growth.
The negro population increased So per
cent. in Philadelphia, Ill per cent. in
Chicago, "a per cent. in Memphis and
90 per cent. in New York. 1t is not
known, says the Forum, how long these
rates of growth can continue before
these cities will have taken on as much
of the dark element as the social me-
dunn can hold in solution without caus-
ing black precipitation. The most
marked feature of the urban negro
population is the predominance of the
female element. While the negroman
has no fixed place in the industrial or
der of the large cities, there is an al
most unlimited demand for competent
colored female servants in the domes-
tic industries. There are on the aver
age 100 negro females to every 100
negro males in the large centers. Wash
ington has an excess of 10, 900 and Bal
timore of 9,ooOnegro females.

that the animals will not become

open air ut meal time. A good roof

This house is designed for sleep
ing quarters mostly, although it may
be used by sows at narrowing time.
A layer of straw scattered over the
floor will make sufficient bedding.
This should be changed as often as
it becomes dusty. If the hogs are
given proper attention, there will
never be other cause for cleaning out
the pens. Catching an individual hog
is an easy matter. Watch when he
goes into the house, follow him into
a side pen, drop the gate and he is
yours. Loading for market, too, is
an easy Job. Let a chute be arranged

CONVENIENT HOG HOUSE.

10 feet wide, with row of pens
down each side, and four-foot al
ley in the middle. The pens are
six by eight feet, with gate open
ing from each into the alley, and a
window In each. The house stands
north and south, SO that the sun
can shine in both from the east and
the west. The entrance ways are at
the ends of the alleys. The founda-
ton is built up two or three feet
from the ground SO that there is a
free circulation of air beneath, and
no chance for rats or mice to har-
Dor. There need be no fear of cold

There are signs that coeducation is
likely to have and to hold its chief illus
ira ton in the colleges and universities
of the west. Colby (Me.) alumni have
adopted a resolution in favor of "a sep
arate college for men" as early as may
be; atIWesleyan university, Conn.,.
there is strong feeling against the
system; Harvard and Brown have sep.
aTate colleges for women; Yale does
not admit women to he undergraduate
department, though admitting to post
graduate privileges; Dartmouth, Bow
doin, Amherst and Williams have no
woman's name in their lists of stu
dents. Meanwhile the colleges for
women exclusively-Wellesley, Smith,
Mount Holyoke, Vassar, Bryn Mawr,
etc.-have been growing rapidly and
beautifully, while Tuft'scollege. Mass,

selection Of Breeding stock.

In buying breeding stock the breed
er should select animals that are
strong where his are weak. Too many
settle the purchasing question by a
certain financial standard rather than
that of first finding the individual suit
ed to their needs and then talking cost
afterward. Too many men desire to
buy stock at hardly above butchers
prices, and expressed no willingness to
pay a premium to the man who is Of
fering them animals that have been
produced at great cost and effort. No
stock should be purchased unless per-
sonally inspected; reliance on the judg-
ment of others is unsafe Prof C. S.

The young woman in Pennsylvania
who puts the value of a broken rib at
$1e0 was influenced
by the mitigating
making. circumstance that
the rib was broken by young man in
an affectionate hug. AT first she Of
fered to compromise on basis ofpay-
ment of the surgeons bill of $11.50,
and when the young man foolishly and
ungallantly tore up the bill proper fem
mime pride compelled her to raise the
price. 1t would seem to us, says the
Chicago Post, that 500 may be regard
ed as a ridiculously small sum for the
pleasure of giving such hug as would
fracture rib; but, of course, this is
not to be fully determined until the
lady is showni in evidence. And perhaps
the rib had been broken before. Or
possibly it was not one of the more i'm
portant ribs. All these things must be
taken into considera ton by unbiased
legal authorities.

/ Habit is the chief characteristic of
our other self-of our real worth
therefore we should form good habits.
A bad habit in little child, says the
Chicago Sun, is like a spiders web
easily broken. In yonng man or
woman it is like Irvine, requiring con-
siderable force to break it. In per-
son of middle age habit is more often
like rope, SO strong that it can only
be broken with difficulty and some
times not at all. Encourage the young
to form good habits and old to put
aside the bad habits-tbe shackles that
bind.
