Ccnrting jn the Last Century.
" The History of Women," an Engf..
lish work, published in 1779, details
various methods of courtship then
practiced in some of the European colonies
of America. It has this curious
statement, which beaux and belles \vi41
find it difficult to believe: " When two
Pennsylvania lovers meet with any remarkable
opposition from their friends
they go off together on horseback, the
lady riding before and the gentleman
behind her. In this situation they pre
sent themselves before a magistrate,
to whom she declares that she lias run
away with her lover and has brought
him there to be married. So solemn
an avowal the magistrate is not at libt
erty to reject, and they are married accordingly."

Mrs. Marston, during the absence of
her husband, was doing the week's
family washing'in the back kitchen of
their, home, near Galena, when she
heard a great noise among the pigs in
the yard. Opening the door she saw a
large black bear trying to walk oil
with one of the pigs. The other pigs :
had climbed out of the pen and
scattered in every direction, and two
large dogs that had been out on several:
P?" bear hunts stood at a safe distance,
perfectly cowed. Mrs. Marston rushed
for the boiler of scalding water, which
she emptied upon the head of the bear
while it was trying to retain hold on
the pig. . Her daughter attacked the
bear with an ax and the two dogs
came to their support. Mrs. Marston i
^ - does not know how it occurred, but in j
five minutes the bear was dead, with a j
dozen deep gashes from the ax in its
head and shoulders, its hide nearly j
peeled off by the scalding water, both j
|&7 of its eyes scalded and closed, and the ;
?v7 dogs hanging to it. That night the old j
" - man was asked if he would have pork i
p^.. chop or bear steak, and coiudn t
make it out until the affair was described.?Wood

Moorish Women's Garments.
La Saison in a recent issue says :
<11 The Moorish women appear in the
streets entirely enveloped in a number
of wide mantles, made of light woolen ;
material or of a thinner white texture
?the so-called Haiks?which cover
m the head and the whole body; the j
faces are deeply veiled. The costume
permits as little of the figure being
seen as the veil does of the features.
The appearance of the Moorish women
5 inside their houses is quite different. ;
There their figures are to be seen after

veil. The principal characteristics of ;
this costume are the wide, bunched-;
out drawers, generally white, and on j
. which the rich women are fond of I
expending very much stuff, so that j
sL this article of clothing looks like a I
skirt reaching to the feet. The chemise, j
consisting of raw silk or tulle j
(black being the color generally chosen, j
in order to show off alight complexion, j
while women with dark skin wear j
white culle), is perfectly transparent; |
the wide sleeves are hemmed with red j
silk inside. They wear a long, sleeve- j
less jacket over the chemise, with flow- i
ers woven in and trimmed witn gold
embroider}* and buttons. A sash is
worn round the jacket, of straw-colored
yellow silk, very much embroidered
with gold, which resembles the scarfs ;
worn by rich Jewesses on festal occa-!
sions. Long, fine silk threads hangj
down at the ends. The hair is hidden j
under a silk handkerchief interwoven |
with gold, so that only small plaits are i
visible at the back of the neck. Bright |
colored materials are generally chosen j
for these, handkerchiefs. The fore- j
head is adorned with a silver orna- j
ment. Inclosing the oval-shaped face,
? ?like a frame, is a chain of gold and sil
r~ * Jjf other. Chains, coins and strings of |
pearls, of .cn of a very costly kind, !
cover the n^ck and breast in a very ex- i
?... travagant manner. Shoes without;
||p:. heels are worn over the bare feet or |
-white stockings; they are rounded off
in front and made of yellow or red j
leather.
Fashion Notes.
?Mahogany-red gloves are much
worn.
In feathers there is a never-ending
variety to select from.
White costumes of red corduroy
repped plush are exhibited.
Elastic cloth, or stockinet, is sold by
the yard for bodices and jackets.
Kensington embroidery in silk and
chenille is seen upon new felt hats.
A novelty in silk-backed velvet is ;
the revival of the old-fashioned green. j
Flounces of black Chantilly lace are j
revived by elderly ladies for full-dress j
toilets.
Xew satins are brocaded in lace;
effects in black and white on grounds '
of color.
Long, plainly made redingotes, I
trimmed with "braiding, are in high j
fashion.
Dark repped overdresses are worn j
with plush or velvet skirts?bright
colors are more fashionable than som- j

There are many very odd designs in !
winter dress goods. Threads of yellow j
are so interwoven in plaids that a
bronze tint appears to overspread the |
pattern.
Jersey wool gloves very long and
without buttons are made in all shades j
' to match cloth dresses, and are so well!
shaped thut they fit the hand as neatly
as Suede kid gloves do.
Old-fashioned fabrics are being re- j
vived. Delaine, alpaca and lady's cloth j
are coming to the front again, though I

ever to come into high favor.
The hats shown for children are ex
: - ceedingly pretty, the gay colors of the
^ ' day being peculiarly appropriate for
|CP them. Plush and velvet divide favor
-with the felt beavers, which have bebecome
standard goods for winter
wear.
Brown and Pompeiian red are very
popular colors for bonnets. Brown
Sicilienne and red velvet are folded together
for trimming fine felt bonnets,
and there are three short ostrich
feathers of these colors forming a panache
on the crown.
Broad - brimmed picturesque hats :
laden with ostrich plumes are worn by ;
young ladies because their coquettish I
curves and waves are far more be-;
coming than the newer but stiff
gk__ masculine hats with close bands and
short game feathers.
There is a preference for having the
upper part of the costume of some
plain material, with a dimask or brocade
of large scroll or horal patterns
for the skirt. Genoa velvets, plush
and brocatelles make handsome skirts ;
for plain Indian cashmere Dooices ana i
plaited tunics.
The tasteful fancy at present for i
house dresses is also an economical one, j
P as it consists of a jacke* of one color I
# with skirts, of another. Thus a dark '
wine-colored or an electric blue basque
of cashmere or cloth may be worn with !
& , black skirts, colored skirts of silk or of !
wool, and also with the dark plaid
jagsjgrSome of the gray felt hats have high
Vns surrounded by wide folds or a
?|lli|Sr^le band.of colored velvet, as Arab;-;
Jgf ^telegraph-blue, sage or mignonette,

forked with gold cord. The plumes
correspond with the color of the felt.

wraps this season are shorter than
tho.se of last year, or else longer in J
front and shorter at the back, to admit j
of the crinoline, which, despite the I
"ridicule it meets with, is really re- j
quired to support the full and increasing
draperies of the skirt. Satin velvet, j
broche and matelese are quite the most !
fashionable materials for autumn ;
mantles, these being trimmed with :
full ruches, quillings, cascades of black
lace, jetted or plain, and ribbon bows
of moire or satin.
The severe English styles adopted j
for street toilets should tind favor j
with people of small means, because {
they dispense with elaborate trim- j

that they can easily be made at home; j
indeed, nothing detracts so mucn irom ;
what is now considered good style as the
meaningless and fussy additions third- i
rate dressmakers put on street cos- !
tuines with the avowed purpose of '
making them "more dressy." It is in ;
their plainness and their tine tit that i
their beauty lies, and all the outlay of !
money should be put in the fabric and i

Sliopkeeping in the White Honse, Etc. j
The following amusing anecdotes j
of the late President Lincoln's young- j
est son, " Tad," are taken from Noah j
Brooks' sketch, entitled "A Boy in the j
White House," in St. Nicholas. Mr. \
Brooks was President Lincoln's pri- j
vate secretary at one time, and a great i
friend of his mischievous son:
Mingled with his boyish simplicity, |
Tad had a great deal of native shrewd- ;
ness. The White lit use was infested j
with a numerous horde of office-seek- '
ers. From day to day these men j
crowded the corridors leading to the j
President's office. Sometimes they ;
were so numerous as to line the halls j
all the way down the stairs. It was j
nnt. Ion cr hpforft Tad found out what i
this assemblage meant, and it then be- :
came one of his greatest diver- !
sions, when other resources j
failed, to go around among |
the office-seekers and sympathetically !
inquire what they wanted, how long !
they had waited, and how much longer I
they proposed to wait. To some he !
gave good advice, telling them to go
home and chop wood for a living.
Others he tried to dismiss by volunteering
to speak to his father in their behalf,
if they would promise not to come
again. Many of these people were at
the White House for weeks and even
months, never missing a day, unless

of town or otherwise absent from the
house.
Tad levied tribute on the men whose
. faces he had learned to know. Once
he mounted guard at the foot of the
staircase and compelled every passenger
to pay an admission fee of five
cents?"for the benefit of the sanitary
fund," as he explained. Most of the
visitors took it in good part, and some
of the fawning creatures, glad of an
opportunity to earn the good-will of
the little fellow, paid their way with a j
"stamp" of some considerable value. I
This venture was so successful that !
Tad resolved on having one of the san- I
v-r- ca milMl I
itaivv laxio unvii >?\s uiuvu I
in vogue all over the country. He j
placed a table in the grand corridor or j
entrance hall of the "White House, |
stocked it with a few broken toys,
some purchases of fruit, sundry ar- J
tides of food begged from the family ;
pantry, and a lot of miscellaneous odds I
and ends contributed by admiring i
friends. Before night the sanitary j
fair of the "White House was closed j
out. Xo man who looked as if he had j
money in his pocket was permitted to j
pass into the house that day without j
first buying something of Master Lin- |
Com^s^jLA^trau^
ehed him soon after to branch out 111 i i
a larger speculation. Having saved up 1
quite a sum of pocket money, he i
bought out the entire stock of an old ]
woman who sold apples and ginger- i
bread near the treasury building. A
pair of trestles and a board, extorted 1
from the carpenters employed on the <
building, gave the young merchant his :
counter, and he set up his shop in the I I
grand, historic portico of the White \ i
House, much to the horror of some i I
of the eminently respectable people i I
who passed by and beheld this most un- j '
dignified proceeding. Before noon | I
almost every office-seeker who entered j 1
had bought a luncheon, under com- i i
pulsion, from the alert your.g shop- 1
keeper, who drove a brisk trade as long j3

times was stuffed into his pockets, his i 1
hat and his little fist. He was "the ! 1
President's son," and that was enough J
for the flatterers, who were gig,d to buy i ;
of him. But Tad was too generous ! '
and open-handed to be long a gainei j 1
by any such operations. Before night j J
capital and profits had been squan- j 1
dered, and the little speculator went

A Significant Utterance. I;
A very significant utterance was ; 1
that made by James Tracy, who I:
was executed for murder at Chicago, j ]
just before he was hung. He had all j '
along protested his innocence, and in a ' i
communication wmcn ne wrote uui j j
for a reporter be said: "I feel satisfied j J
that if my past record had been spot- 11
less I could never have been convicted. |:
I do not believe any man -who has i
known a life of virtue could be con- I
tent with a life of vice. The farmer j
who has spent his life on his farm i
never seeing more of the world than ;
the road to market, or more societj ' i
than the village congregation, is hap- {:
pier than the 'sport' who gets his j ;
money easily but questionably and sees '
society in its wildest dissipation. The I
hardest of work, if honest, is not as :
tiresome as the idleness of an outlaw, j
The laborer never feels his work as '
does the man who makes his living by
the 'simple twist of the wrist.' I sincerely
hope that my fate and thesa
words may prove a warning to young
men who are cheating themselves with
the idea that there can be any peace,
happiness or prosoeritv in a crooked i
life."
According to an English writer, of
t n children born in Norway a little

that in England and the United States i
somewhat less than seven reach that j
age, while in Erance only five reach it, |

TSE PIRATE OF THE GULF.
The Career of Jean I,afittf, the Celebrated
Freebooter.
A Galveston (Texas) letter says:
On this self-same isle formerly dwelt
one of the most celebrated pirates
known to American annals?Jean
Lafitte, tlie Robin Hood of the Mexican
gulf and Carribean sea. The very
spot where his lawless town stood is .
still pointed out to the curious visitor, j
lie was one of the most picturesque
characters of the early part of the
present century, and to the American
novelist and poet has proved a fruitful

the pen of fiction, but by an acurate
historian: "He was a well-formed,
handsome man, six feet two inches
in height, strongly built, with large
hazel eyes, and black hair, and he
usually wore a mustache. lie dressed
in green uniform. He was a man of
polite and easy manners, of retired
habits, generous disposition, and of i
such winning address that his influence
over his followers was almost ab- i
solute." He was a native of France, !
of respectable parentage, and made his
first ocean voyage as the mate of a [
vessel bound to the East Indies. He
was more fitted to command than obey, !
and soon quarreled with iiis fellow i
officers and lei't them. In some man- ;
ner unknown he obtained a ship, !
doubtless by methods becoming an em- j
bryo corsair, and, rallying to his black i
llag a crew of determined men, lie {
boldly embarked in a career of piracy
on tiie Indian ocean. Little is recorded
of his fortunes at this particular
period, save that he finally fell into
the hands of the British naval authorities,
but evaded the halter by a
timely escape, and succeeded in reaching
his native land. His stay was
brief, however. Only the excitement i
of a lawless life possessed the allurements
his restless nature demanded, j
Fitting out a vessel, he sailed for the j
West Indies, and made open war on ;
British and Spanish commerce.
Many a galleon freighted with treasure
became his spoil, and many a rich
English cargo. His exploits fully
equaled those of the most noted heroes
of piratical romarce, while his
personal characteristics were far from
uncommendable. Ho is said to have
been brave, refined and high-minded?
in fact, "the mildest-mannered man
that ever scuttled ship or cut a throat."
Ill lfelo Commodore ratterson, witu
several American vessels of war, was
dispatched, to cruise in search of him.
He was found well established on an
island in Barataria bay, about forty
miles west of the delta of the Mississippi
river. lie had a large force of
outlaws under his command and a
small ileet of vessels, but retired without
opposition. We were then at war
with Great Britain. Lalitte cherished
an intense hatred of the English, by
reason of the severity of his treatment
while a prisoner in their hands, and
was our natural ally. He had also,
probably from motives of policy, usually
refrained from capturing American
vessels. The expedition of Commodore
Patterson was not conducted
in a very energetic manner, therefore,
anil as soon as the American
fleet retired Lafitte again took possession
of the island. The latter was !
too conveniently adjacent to Xew
Orleans to be needlessly abandoned.
At that city the pirates found a ready
and accommodating market for their
captured slaves and cargoes, and could
also procure any needed military supplies
there. The innumerable bayous
connecting Xew Orleans with the
gulf facilitated the clandestine operations.
"When the British attempted to
capture ine cny iney iirst sougnt me j
co-operation of Lafitte, offered him as |
a recompense the sum of $30,000 and a j
commission in the royal navy. He j
declined these tempting terms, but,
ivjliiout hope of reward, marched to j
S^f^QRi^fAndrew Jackson, at the ;
liead ofveteran followers, |
and bore an hon^sw i
pulsing the British. For this import
int assistance his past transgressions
were pardoned by the President, and
tie had before him the opportunity
Df abandoning the wild life he had led
50 long and of turning his undoubted
talents to nobler pursuits. The charm
:>f adventure too powerfully possessed
bis nature, however, and he merely de- j
termined on a new base of operations. !
He removed his plunder and pirates
from the immediate vicinity of Xew
Orleans and located on the uninhabited i
island of Galveston. lie brought to j
tiis new stronghold no less than six j
well-manned vessels. A tribe of In- <
iians occupied the mainland, and at- j
tempted to expel him, but in a battle |
that took place thirty savages were j
tailed and the remainder fled to safer !
hunting grounds. JLantte now had
many buildings constructed, including
a, line residence for liis own occupancy.
His intention was undoubtedly to make j
Galveston his permanent abiding-place j
as well as slave mart, to which plant- ;
ers could at any time repair with per- j
Cect security. His ocean raids now became
more numerous and successful
than ever. Among his followers he
divided the net results with a just and
liberal hand.
His rank and file consisted of des
perate outcasts trom every nation, out
were chiefly Americans. His favorite
lieutenant was an American by the
name of James Campbell, who fought
under Commodore Perry at the battle .
of Lake Erie, and afterward on the
frigate Constitution in its celebrated I
battle with the Guerriere. At the end |
!>f five years it became impossible for \
the Unit(d States to longer tolerate j
the operations of Lafitte, and in 1820 !
an American squadron anchored off !
Galveston. The commodore in com- I
mand visited the corsair chief and
communicate decisive orders. Lafitte
entertained him in princely style, having
a superabundance of sumptuous
fare to draw from, and then quietly i
gave Orders for the embarkation of I
the pirates and the destruction of their
town by fire. While the flames were
in full progess he we:.ghed anchor, and
aever again sailed the waters of the
Gulf of Mexico. After a long cruise j
tie made his home on the island of !
Mazeret, off the coast of Yucatan, j
where he died a few years afterward, |
at the comparatively early age of j
forty-six. His loss was not only de- |
plored by the wild freebooters whom J

and battle, but by a devoted wife, who
had been the silent heroine of his romantic
story, and had shared many of
his perils and most of his vicissitudes.
If legends may be credited, she was a !
lark-eyed Cuban lady, who was first !
his captive, and afterward the willing !
partner of his varying fortunes. Over i
his grave was heaped a vast mound of |

Snails for Food.
Recent - discussions in the French j
papers as to the value of snails as j
food will be of interest to those whose !
appetites are sated with ordinary gastronomic
luxuries. It appears that '
the snail (Helix pomatia) possesses !
very nourishing qualities, ana is
worthy of more attention than it has
hitherto received. The analysis of the
weli-known chemist, Payson, shows
that the snail contains seventy per j
cent, water, sixteen per cent, nitrogen, ;
eight per cent, fat, two per cent, ani- <
mal s.ilt and four per cent, of other j
constituent parts. The ancient Ro- j
mans were well aware of these good
qualities, and used the snail as a stim- j
ulating remedy for a bad appetite, just

Docking tbe Tails of Horses.
The practice of docking the tails of j
horses is now undergoing considerable j
discussion in the English agricultural j
journals. It so disfigures a horse that |
we hope docking will not prevail j
again as it used to years ago, not only i
in England but in America also. The j
main argument in favor of docking is !
that it prevents a horse from switching
his tail over the reins, thereby i
causing the driver to lose control of \
him : but the switching mav be ren-!
c'lered impossible by fastening a stiff
iron rod four to si.v inches above the i
whole lengt.h of the dashboard for the j
reins to rest on. This keeps them so :
much higher than the rump of the j
horse that he cannot switch his tail I
over them. With a very nervous or |
skittish horse we will grant that it is !
dangerous for him to get his tail over j
the reins, particularly if he then be-1
comes frightened.?National Live

Feedinc Soaked Corn.
F. D. Coburn, a correspondent of the

beef rather than sellingthe corn itself,!
and during the past winter has propounded
questions to feeders in each
county of the State of Kansas, of
which he is a resident, lie says:
"Their replies, which cover many
years of experience :md observation,
indicate, I think, very nearly what is
perhaps the average sentiment of* the
leading farmers throughout the Western
States." lleports were received
irora seveniy-six ieeaers m sixty-two
counties, and all agree that there Is
more profit in feeding to good stock,
and the testimony of these feeders
shows twenty per cent, gain by soak- !
ing the com. Sixteen of the feeders I
report results in feeding soaked whole
corn to pigs and report a gain of from
twelve to thirty-three per cent., averaging
twenty per cent, in favor of I;
soaked over dry corn. Several report
feeding soaked corn to horses, and consider
it thirty-seven per cent, better
than when fed dry. But very few
practice grinding, as it does not pay.
We know of one pig breeder in Slew
England who has been testing this
matter ot leecimg corn or cornmeai to
pigs, and lie is satisfied that he can getbest
results by Reding the whole corn
soaked. We once tried feeding soaked
barley to work horses with remarkably
good results, and consider this one of
the best grains for part of the daily rations
of work horses.
Green Food for Poultry.
As to kind, with the single exception
of onions, which should be given
imr.fi a. week, it makes but little differ
ence what kind of green food is supplied,
the price and keeping qualities
alone being considered. Apples are
good to feed as long as they will keep,
say until Christinas; from then until
May turnips or sugar beets are good,
as they keep well, and on good land,
with plenty of lien manure, can be
raised for ten cents a bushel. For the
three spring months I find the American
rutabaga turnip the best of all;
they will keep crispy and nice until
June. As to how much to provide,
one bushel per hen for fowls in confinement
is not too much to last from Oc- j:
tober 1 to May 1, or until green rye or
oats are large enough to cut. "A
pretty liberal allowance," some one i
says. "How mucb grain do you (
save?" About ten per cent, less grain
will be required than if no green food
ay ere given, and twenty-live per cent,
more eggs will be received, besides
keeping the fowls in better health. I
have in each pen a small trough, protected
by stout wires two and a half i
inches apart, expressly for green food,
which keeps ^it clean ur^til it h eaten.
writers recommend; cut turnips, bev^s, s j
etc., in two or three pieces and the ,
hens will manage them after they j
learn. I love to hear the music of 100 ,

Celery Among Potatoes. (
Having, like man;.*, rather a small i c
garden and needing to economize space | g
I tried setting the p'.ants in line be- j t

several years experience of the plan 1j s
find it answers admirably. The two j t
things work very well together. The j c

two crops off the same piece of ground, l
Then the hilling of the potatoes (they j c
receive the first baaking up just be- j c
fore the celery is set) leave half a j1

in the bottom nomnleted it. The ulants 11
when first set get nearly all the shad- J l
ing they need from the potatoe tops, i

the scorching heat of summer is kept

Fall Plowing. ^
Any one who has seen the best Euro- r
pean farming knows how important it
is to thoroughly prepare the ground for r
the seed. The working of the soil adds
nothing, but it helps in changing the j t
form of the plant food compounds, and j j
lhri? nlnwinrr nnrl li.irrowinsr becomes ! _
V" ' o o ? I >
indirectly a source of nourishment. The IT
soil is a vast storehouse of plant food, 11
which it holds by virtue of its insol-1 c
ubility. Furthermore, it is only through !
the action of the air and-all those pro- x
cesses, chemical and otherwise, which |
are covered by such terms as weather- ^
ing, nitrification, etc., that these essen- e
tial elements are brought into a soluble i \
form and made available for the use of j ^
the growing plant. The chemistry of i r

stood, teaches in every line the ira-; t
portance of a frequent stirring of the j,
surface of the cropped field. AVith this ;'
in mind it is to the purpose to urge j
the importance of fall plowing. Pur j t
other than chemical reasons the stub-!,
ble or sod may be turned under this j *

more freely, and the processes of re-1
during the insoluble substances go on I
more rapidly, but the mechanical text- I
ure of the heavy soil especially will be [(
improved. Should insects or their ! j
larva? or ' worms" abound in the earth j
they will be turned out of their winter j1
quarters and destroyed. Aside from i
these advar>f ges there is a lull in the 1
farm wonc at this season, and any ; 1
plowing or other labor with the soil j 2
will help materially to lessen the rush :1

the busy months of spring. The \ 1

Farm and Garden Notes.
Put carrots intended for feeding to j
stock in pits or trenches. For family j
use, dig and store in dry earth or sand !
in the root cellar.
Old hens should be fattened and!
killed off in the fall. A hen two j
years old has seen her best days, and J
should be disnosed of before she be- !
comes useless.
Cover a few tomatoe plants with
mats to protect them from the first j
frosts, and they will continue to bear |
for some time. The green ones are
useful for pickles.
Cracked corn is one of the best feeds
for chickens, after they are four weeks '
old. Until they are four weeks old j
they never ought to be fed on anything
but cooked food.
Take a little time to go around and j

spring. The sprouts need clipping off,
and now is tne time to attend to it if
it has not already been done.
High manuring, thorough cultivation
and the free use of vegetable matter
like muck are the best precautions
for preventing, to a considerable extent,
the bad effects of droughts. (
Continued damp weather often ,
causes croup in fowls. In order to
prevent it the best quarters must be ;
provided. Dryness, warmth and free- (
dom from draughts are the best safe
guards.
Washing the stock with tobacco
water, or water and kerosene, which is
constantly stirred, will destroy parasit
ic vermin on cattle. Feeding them
cotton seed or linseed meal daily will
give their coats a shiny appearance.
Cut away promjjtly on the first appearance
any limbs or shoots of the
pear or plum affected with diseases.
The pear may not be cured, but
excision will do no harm-; the knot .
may be kept off the plum with entire
success, if promptly attended to.
Give rich foods like clover, oats, ,
beans, peas and linseed cake. The (
stomach of a horse is small and should
be replenished often. Regularity is an (
i'mportaat point. Digestion will be
helped and the general health improved
by giving a few cut swedes
daily. i
Experienced fence-builders and ,
others who use wcou in the rough for ;
posts, ties, etc., unite in the opinion
that timber cut in summer, while the i
bark will yet peel freely, is much more ]
durable than that felled during winter.
There is less of solublesap in the trunk ;
and limbs to absorb moisture, ferment,
and induce decay. _ i
If you want to transform a wild i
heifer into a well behaved and well i
trained cow, you must be patient and J
exhibit no temper. Xevcr strike her; 1
she must, first of all, get acquainted :
with you and learn that you will not <
hurt her. She must learn not to fear 1
you. If, in winter, it is best to milk 1
in t.hp ctable make as little fuss and as ! '
few alarming motions as possible; i
handle her very gently.
In husking, be careful to sort out all ;
the poor ears and soft nubbins. Put 1
only sound corn in the crib. Give the 1
nubbins to the pigs. It will not do to 5
feed such food to horses; they need :
good sound grain. Feeding green corn 1
to pigs and fatting hogs should be (
begun judiciously. Don't overfeed. 1
For the best results, fattening swine (
should be brought to full feed with 1
quite as much care as a steer. (

girls walks the streets balancing on
their heads heavily-laden buckets or
baskets or pans, containing polished
sand, or fish, or fruit for sale. A little
fellow of seven years, whom you would
think fitted only for romping and play,
will walk along steadily, and yet with
seeming ease and unconcern, bearing
up such a weight as that when the
least carelessness or inattention would
tumble it to the ground. "While still a
mere child, he has in his special work
the sense of responsibility and the
steadiness of a man. It was not natural
for him to walk in this way, but
he quickly acquired the needful power
through training. We ought to have
a care not to put too heavy a load on
our little ones; but we may fail to realize
as we should their possibilities of
training. A great deal of their restlessness
can be easily controlled and
ilirccted, not only without harm to
them, but to their positive advantage
Wonders of Simple Tools.
A complicated engine, like the common
woodworker, the printing press,
a compound lathe, or various forms of
spinning or weaving machines, is
really one of the most wonderful tilings
in the world. Most of such contrivances
are the product of the combined
thought, study, experience and ingenuity
of generations and ages; yet some of
the .simplest tools, either in their
construction or use, represent
a degree of ingenuity and manual
skill that is astonishing A
common file is one of the simplest of
coois to iook at, ana to a careiess view
one of the easiest to make. Files have
been in use since the beginning, and
rank with the hatchet and hammer in
their simplicity and usefulness. From
the time the naked savage smoothed his
arrow-head with a bit of sharp gritted
stone, and the handle of his club with a
piece of dried lish-skin, to these days
of finely-finished work the race of man
has employed some form of file to acplish
mechanical results. Yet the
making of the hardened steel file,
which is now so universal, requires a
ielicacv of touch and exactness of
movement that is wonderful. The diagonal
cuts upon the sides of a com-mon
"three-cornered" file appear tc
the eye to be absolutely regular, uniform
in their regular distance and
alike in depth; the keenest vision is
unable to detect any irregularity, and
their cutting seems to be the
work of a delicate and accurate
machine. A close scrutiny also
shows that the cuts grow finer, closer,
md shallower, bv almost imperceptible
degrees of variation, as they approach
the tapering point. Upon the
smaller files of the regular sizes there
ire more than two hundred of these
parallel cuts to the inch, and in some
)f more delicate make, for special purposes,
this degree of fineness is greatlv
exceeded. Yet this wonderful delicate
ind accurate work is done, not by the aid
)f machines with minute micrometer
screws and gauges, but with a simple
lammer and chisel in the workman's
land. The advance of the chisel upoD
;he blank of each cut of the two hunIred
and fiftieth part of inch, neithei
nore nor less is regulated simply by the
maided sense of touch. The weight of
:he blow, also diminishing or increasing
it each stroke by the fraction of an
)unce as the cutting approaches or reolely
by the judgment of the work
nan. All this is done without pause or
lesitation to correct or readjust, and
rith a rapidity which shows itself in
he cheapness of the finished file. File
utting is rendered still more delicate
,nd difficult by the varying hardness of
he same bit of steel at different points
a its surface, which would cause blows
f equal force to make cuts of varying
epths and widths. This unequal hard.ess
must be perceived as the cutting
irogresses anil allowance must be made
or it all through the operation. Boubtjss
all this seems easy enough to the
racticed tile-cutter, and he does ins
fork without even thinking of these
ifiiculties. Yet the education of
and, nerve and brain to such a perection
of movement is certainly a
lost wonderful illustration of perfecion
attained in the use of tools. For
lore than one hundred years ofbrts
ave been made to cut files by mahinery,
with only partial and moderte
success, the process, simple as it
ppears, being too delicate for less per2Ct
instruments than the human hand
nd brain.?Builder and Woodworker.
The Yosemite Valley. v
The Yosemite Valley, currently
Doken of as the "Valley" simply, is iniuded
in a belt formed by drawing

wild, strange nook, far to the east-ard

lace is rather a chasm than a valley,

expense unless a patent is allowed. When allowed,

Abandoned,or Forfeited Cases made.
