Dont Do II aus, For Now"

Many young people form habits
which cripple and handicap them
for life by doing things "just for
now" They let things drop wher-
ever they happen to be "just for
now" thinking that they will put
the book, the tool, the letter, or the
article of clothing, later, where it
belongs.
When these young people grow
up to manhood and womanhood,
they find that the habit of putting
things down anywhere, 'just for
now, has become a tyrant that fills
their lives with confusion and dis
order.
II takes no more time or effort to
put thing where it belongs, in the
first place, than it does later,-per-
haps less; and the chances are that,
if you do not do it at the proper
time, YOU never will.
Even if it costs you a little in
convenience, at the moment, to put
everything in its proper place, to do
everything at the proper time, the
orderly and methodical habits which
you cultivate in this way will in
crease your power. and usefulness a
hundredfold. and may save much
trouble and modification in the
future.-American Adviser.

Care of Poultry Houses in Winter

A great deal of difference of opin-
ion has lately been expressed through
the poultry journals about warm as
against cold poultry houses. By
warm houses we do not take it that
a house as warm at dwelling is
meant or that cold house is one
that is frigidly cold. The latest
conclusion backed up by some e1-
perinental work is that the houses
ought to be reasonably cold.
We have been watching this dis
cussion and taking some of our own
experience along this line into con-
sideration, we have become rather
favorable to the moderately cold
house, When houses are kept warm
there is SO much danger of troubles
that come by dampness. We have
been in houses where the water was
trickling down the walls and the
very litter was damp.
In the care of poultry honses in
winter it is necessary to keep the at
mosphere sweet and clean and not
spend so much time in keeping it
warm. If it is warm enough to pre-
vent the combs from freezing it may
be considered better than when
there is surplus of moisture reeking
on the walls. 1t would not be far
wrong fer poultry properly cared Tor
to endure a temperature about the
freezing point. At this point combs
would not freeze and the drinking
water would not freeze.
The proper treatment consists in
giving the poultry plenty of exercise
and they will not notice any cold.
If given nothing to do they will be
uncomfortable in low temperature.
We like to have a cold scratching
room where the fowls can go in the
daytime, and we take occasion at
that time to open up the roosting
quarters to admit plenty of fresh
air. The droppings are taken away
at least twice per week in winter,
and in the incest weather oftener
and about noon or during the warm
est part of the day the door is left
open for admission Of fresh air.
When the house has been cleaned

BATHING AND HEALTH.
BENEFITS to Ne Derived From Cold
Water and Rubbing.

Benefits to Ne Derived From Cold
Water and Rubbins.
A cold bath--wc might as we'll get at
the straight of the thing-is not really
a matter of cleanliness so much az q
matter of getting the skin livened up
and the capillar1es and veins next to
the surface full Of blood. Ice cold
water or scalding hot water VIII DO
that, but tepid wnter-no, no!
Tho skin is almost exactly the same
kind of an excreting organ as the
lungs. The snme products seep
through the pores as are carried Oh in
the breath, and the air purines the
blood IN the same way. But the great,
or part Of the skin is smothered up IN
clothes day and night. What the cold
water Of the bath dissolves Is mates
well away. And the rubbing dry b
pretty vigorous exercise II you want
to know. Any rubbing II bound 20
push the blood along toward the heart
and help the circulation, because there
are valves in the veins which prevent
the blood from going in any other a..
rection than toward the heart. What.
ever loose flakes Of outsr euticle are
rubbed OF we needn't worry about;
plenty more where they came from.
The extra food the increased appetite
demands will make good that trinina
loss.-Eugene Wood in Everybody'S
Magazine.

A GIRLS NATURE.
Little Signs That, 1t IL Said, Reveal
Phases of Character

Phases of Character.
Much Of girls nature is betrayed
by the little act of brushing speck
on mans coat. If she picks of the
thread or imaginary bit Of lint very
carefully between the thumb and fore
finger it is an indisputable sign that
she is n woman of very practical and
executive character.
On the other hand, II a girl should
brush the cont lapel of her fiance very
softly and tenderly with the second
and third finger Of her hand in her en-
deavor to remove an invisible speck II
Is sure sign that She is more senti-
mental than practical. The man who
marries her will live in continual at
mosphere Of romance and bad house.
keeping.
There is still another type Of girl
who will brush the speck OF mans
cont with broad sweep of the hand
In which all the fingers and thumb play
a part. She is in all probability an
athletic girl who excels at tennis. golf
and the links and who will prove a
high spirited, strong minded woman
after marriage.
Then, again, the girl who puts a
flower In mans coat with her hnnd
held jauntily upturned from the wrist
and the flower held in the tips of her
fingers is sure to be something Of a
coquette. while the maid who gives
you only the tips Of her fingers when
she greets you in the drawing room or
public street is probably an ambitious
girl.-Chicngo Journal.

The reaction against corruption,
graft and Doodle seems to have set
in very strongly. It is at work in
Connecticut and Rhode Island. In
Indiana the outcry against the lobby
is most significant. Delaware is
still fighting bravely against Ad-
dicks, apparently with good chance
Of again defeating him. The ad-
ministration is going after the land
thieves with commendable vigor.
Even in Pennsylvania the attempts
of Governor Pennypacker and his
machine to muzzle the press show
that criticism is having its effect
even on men supposed to be pachy-
dermatons. Under the leadership Of
Folk and the reform forces much
may be acc omplished in Missouri.
We have begun our house-cleaning
none to soon. Now that we have
begun it, we should not stop till we
have raised public life to a greatly
higher level. indianapolis News.

Who Pays the Tax.

In reading the tariff discussion
now waxing hot again in England,
an American is struck by the ap-
pearance in the old country Of the
delusions, sophistries and scare
crows" that have so long done duty
here. Thus Mr.. Chamberlain in. a
recent speech argued that his pro-
posed duties on food products would
be "paid BY the foreigner as toll
for entering the British market"
The reformers' answer 10 the
same claim of our high-tariff men
was this: II "the foreigner pays
the tax" why have any internal
revenue taxes? Why practice
economy, Why not make the for
eigners pay toll enough for entering
our market to support the Govern
ment. build the biggest navy afloat,
improve all our rivers and harbors
and erect a 6no public building in
every town that can boast of being
tho home Of Congressman?
But on Englishman Of an inquir-
ing turn Of mind. being in New
York, put this iridescent theory TO
practical test. He compared the
price-list of one Of our leading
grocery houses with the prices OBJ
tanning in London concerns of equal
standing. On twelve specified
articles of domestic use made in
England the price was 32 per cent.
higher here-just about the average
duty. For ten American products
canned goods, preserves, dried
fruits, &c.-the consumer in New
York actually pays 10 per cent.
more than the consumer of the same
goods in London. On eighteen
table and household articles i'm
ported from other countries into
both England and America the New
York prices was 30 per cent. higher
than that quoted in London.
The conclusion of the investigator
Mr.. q. Il. Gilpin, writing to the
Spectator-is that "the tariff does
indeed exact heavy toll, but it is
from the consumer. IN. Y. World.

book, such as crop failure. to show
some people the advantages OF di-
versified farming Every poor
wheat year has been followed by

The experiment at the Maine Ag-
ricultural College, which in series
of years produced strain of hens
that lay over two hundred eggs
year, or double the product of ordi-
nary hens, cost little money, but
the results are calculated to add
materially to the national wealth.
The total cost was less than the cost
OF one 12-inch cannon, less than the
cost OF transporting one regiment of
soldiers from San Francisco to the
Philippines. The money expended
in building a new fort would pro-
duce similar breed of hens in every
state in the union. Think what it
would mean to double the egg pro-
duction of the United States. They
already lay 1867, 100000 dozens of
eggs, er enough in single month
during spring to pay years in
terest on the national debt. All of
which goes to show that if the money
wasted on arsenals and forts, army
posts, battleship- and other agencies
OF barbarous war, were devoted to
agriculture in its various branches,
poverty and want might be prac-
tically abolished and the happiness
of the human race immeasurably in
crsased.-American Farmer.

Potatoes are a profitable crop
when sold at 25 or 80 cents a bushel.
An acre Of ordinary ground will
yield a farmer more money in po-
tatoes at 25 cents bushel than any
other crop he can put on the acre
tobacco excepted. 1t is an oft-re-
peated saying that potatoes will
bring a farmer as high as 25 cents
a bushel when fed to stock. This
is pipe dream. One busllel Of
potatoes must put FIVE pounds of
flesh on hog to do this, and one
bushel of potatoes will not increase
a hogs weight even three pounds

"Be careful of creamery sharks
says the Farmers Tribune, that
are often inclined to induce far
mers to organize cooperate
creameries, often before enough
cows can be secured in neighbor-
hood to properly maintain a cream
cry. Furthermore, in many in
stances they have sold farmers
creamery supplies at a cost far
above their normal market value.
This they RE able 10 do for the rea-.
son that farmers as rule are not
posted on prices. Therefore our
advice in instances of this kind is to
write for information either to the
experiment station Of your state, to
the dairy commissioner, or to your
agricultural paper and ascertain
definitely what it ought to cost to
build creamery such as you de-
sire. In other words it does not
pay to buy pig in the bag"
