Why Knbber? Are Considered "Good E: Form.'" There was a time, not so many f, years back, when it was not quite l .fashionable to appear too robust. A V ' Jittle languor was considered rather (becoming in a young -woman. But that day has passed. The pale, drooping, indoor girl has given way to the riding, -walking, golf-playing girl. Health has received the seal of fashion. And everything that conduces to health-is now good form. For instance, iu the matter of wearing rubbers. A few years ago a good many women objected to wearing rubbers,* on the ground that they detracted from the irim appearance of the foot. But CVCf JUUUJT a vaitv v*?v ruins the health as quickly as -wet feet, and the only possible way to have _ . dry feet?especially in winter?is to wear Tubbers. So rubbers have come back into style as i dispensable to good health. The added fact that *ubbers are now bo much more shapely and graceful in their lines than they were a dozen years ago, and that they are now made in such infinite variety, has served, of course, still further to increase their popularity.?Harper's Bazar.

Two years ago I put up a f wind pump for irrigating which raised 1 120 barrels of water an hour in a good ? _L 1 I breeze. .Having plenty ox water ui> i J hand I put 10,000 barrels of water on half an acre of plum orchard and about the same amount on the apple orchard. I hud a large crop of both kinds of frnit that year. This season, where I irrigated moss the previous one, I had a full crop of plums and where I irrigated least only a few. Where I did not irrigate I had nothing at all. It is exactly the same with the apples. 3\Iy orchard land is pure sand. In dry seasons it suffers very much from drouth, the plums and apples falling off badly.?Henry Wade, of Nova Scotia, in Orange Judd Farmer. For Drying Fruit.

There is a much better plan than stringing each piece of apple upon twine thread. Farininc From Experience. Every farmer learns much each year about his business by the experience ho gains. It is the most valuablo knowledge, provided the farmer has learned to discriminate as to the true cause of success or failure. It will at least teach twice the capacity of his own soil and location. While farmers read with interest what other farmers have done in other localities, it does not affect them as does de cided 8ucc6ss or failure in their own J neighborhood. What one man in any locality has done others may also do if they have like soil and condi- e tions. Almost all the special crops t that are grown in certain neighbor- 1 hoods are the result of experiments t made at first with much doubt, but i when proved a success, inciting others I to imitate the example. In suoh case o the pioneer who introduces such crops 1 benefits the. entire neighborhood e quite as much as himself. He is not t injured by the competition of his t neighbors, for whatever the farmer grows there is sure to be so large a market for it that the production of a large amount calls purchasers from a distance, so that the farmer can sell at his own doors instead of marketing his spicial crop at a distance. An inrtiiri/lnol onwacQ nn matlflr nn how extended a scale, cannot create such a homemarket.?American Cultivator. Improving Old Stables. There are thousands of old and poorly constructed stables, sheds and ? the like all over the Northern States r in which cattle are kept during the winter. These are often so cold that the ground freezes solid. Such shel- # ter is very inadequate and results ^ from a lacfc of building material in j. many of tho prairie States and also ^ neglect of farmers to provide comfort- ^ able stables even when the material is v at hand. On all farms where grain is j. raised these stock barns can be made comfortable with the straw. If it can ^ be baled, so much the better. Place a ? layer of bales on the inside of the j. barn wall just as you would lay brick, omitting of course the mortar. When ? the top is reached place a board or j rail on the top bales to keep them in r place. - e Tf if io I'mm-oftfioolilo Viotto tlm it ^ " ? f straw baled it can still be used with ^ good results. Build a fence as high j, as the wall of the building five or sis feet outside of it and have it made comparatively tight by placing the poles or boards used not more than one foot apart. Fill in the opon space h between the fence and the building s with straw and tramp it down as E solidly as possibly. If flax straw can a be used this makes the best lrind of ^ filling. It is impossible for the wind i to blow through this, and the stable t will be as warm as need be.?Jsew E England Homestead. a Churning Good 12utter. j Have just taken out of the churn a c nice batch of gilt-edge butter, and al- \ though we use milk from but one cow, f we get just such butter at every / churning, and churn three times each c week. j The milk stood twenty-four hours, j then the cream was taken ofl' cud put s in the cream jar.

For Spring Chickens. Our modern methods of living arc changing our farming in many particulars. The demand is now for early spring lamb and chickens in February and March. Early spring chickens have to be raised in tho vrinter season, and to do this requires i certain espert knowledge that is the price of success. Spring chickens at fifty cents a pound are profitable, and even at much less than this one can find money in ihe business. Besides, it gives the poultry grower work to do at what is generally considered a lazy season of ;he year. In fact, there is more money to-day in raising spring chickens and winter eggs than in any other aranch of this business. Those who itick to the beaten tracks are the ones vho never make a great deal out of ;heir enterprise. But every one will lot succeed in raisiug spring chickens, and it is well that this is so, for jtherwise the business would soon be jverdone. It takes shrewd busines ;act, exact knowledge, to make the Hrork profitable. In the first place one must have a irarm house suitable for the chickens, [t does not take a large one to accommodate 100 chickens, but it must be ivarm, well ventilated ana even in ;emperature. This is the first rejuisite^ The honse should be located jo that it will receive the sun through ;he glass most of the day. The sit;ers must be selected for their success n hatching eggs, and those that show in inclination to neglect the eggs ihould be discarded. The sitters must je fed separately when off the nest so hey will not be bothered an<* worried jy the others. The sitting house should be darker ,han the main room, and the ne?ts ihould be arranged in rows. Each hen vill learn to know her own nest. Water is well as food must be provided the lens daily. TVhen the chicks are latched they must be kept together in imall colonies free from cold winds md storms. They must be kept growng all the time, and good food, water md clean surroundings will accomplish his. Warm mush, bread, oatmeal and tcraps from the table should be their shief daily diet. New hatchings should )e made all of the time, so that rounger chicks will take the place of hose sent to market. It is astonish ng bow many can be raisea in asraau louse by batching out new broods ivery two weeks, and by spring one vill find more profit than can be made rom the old chickens all through the rear: 'A Portable Fence.

The Woman's Christian Temperance [Jnion, which has recently held its convention at St. Paul, had a paper read before It In which the point was made that, while the use of alcoholic lllquors had increased materially in foreign countries, it had in the last ten years undergone a sensible reduction in the United 8tates?that is, taking the number of our people into account. The writer of this paper went on to say that as during that time there had been no special agitation in favor of temperance, as there had been no conspicuous Instance of applications of prohibition laws,the only reason that oould be given forthls decrease In the consumption of alcoholic liquors in the United States was the instruction that had been given in the public schools as to the disastrous effects of alcohol when taken as tt beverage. It seems to us that this is one of those cases of an entire misconstruction of cause. To assume that the character of the American people is being revolutionized hv this class of instruction in our pub lie schools Is wholly ridiculous. We do" not say that the instruction is not of advantage, but is of only slight advantage, it for no, other reason because it is only attempted In a relatively few localities. Even if it were general, we should doubt whether It would be noticeably effective. The cause for the decrease In the use of alcoholic liquors la this country is one which does not need any anxious seeking, because it is obvious to any one who considers the subject in an unprejudiced manner. It is growth of public sentiment against the excessive use of liquor. In European countries drunkenness is condoned as an offence of slight importance. In the United States It is the exceptional family in which the drunkenness of one of the members would not be regarded with intense horror. There are few social circles that will freely admit a person who is known to be an habitual drunkard, and ?ven a man who occasionally flrjnks to excess loses caste in. all but somewhat shady society. The standard has been set in the upper social classes, and la gradually penetrating down through all of the middle and lower grades; hence the time Is not distant when, even among those who now look on excesnlve drinking with toleration, the excessive , drinker will be tabooed as an unfit associate. These social laws and social penalties are infinitely stronger and more binding in their character than any law that a Legislature can enact.?Boston Herald. A Chaplain's Perional Experience. Perhaps no one is more cotrpetent to write on "Prisons and Prisoners" than Rev. Mr. Horsley. His experience of both has been considerable, nnd he has devoted muoh time and attention to the study of crime and its causes. The earlier chapters In the present book deal with prison statistics, education and crime, and so on, and bristle with facts and figures well worthy of the attention of the social reformer. But perhaps the most interesting Eortlons of the work are those in w&lch Mr. [orslfey gives an account of some: of bis personal experiences with members of the criminal class. Here are some particulars of money spent on drink gathered from . prisoners who | cttEig uuuor uu uusumuuu, Coal-whipper was once teetotal for nine months and saved $50, and makes from $10 to $20 a week, bnt spends up to even $5 a day sometimes, on beer for himself and others. Sailor spent $165 In a month on drink, "with nothing to show for It except being here;" once was a teetotaler for eighteen months when a bluejacket, and saved $215. Coachman, old soldier, had $1000 savings, but spent it all In drink between November and March. Man, twenty-eight, began at 6 a. m. with rum, spent $1.75 of bi? own, then sola a donkey to a sweep for $6.25/approprlated the money, and had only seven cents left at the end of the day. These are but a few typical oases. Teetotalers also occasionally find their way to prison, as Mr. Horsley points out. but he makes the startling statement mat - in iue absence of the liquor truffle, one police / court and one prison would certainly be sufficient for the metropolis." Lieut. Hobton'a Temperance Education. At the recent hearing before the House Committee on Territories, Mrs. Mary H. Hunt, of Boston, speaking of the good results that had come from the enactment of other laws in behalf of which she had at other times appeared before Congress, related an Interesting Incident in regard to Lieutenant Hobson. She snid that after the adoption of a course of systematic Instruction In temperance bygieno and physiology In the Naval Academy at Annapolis, in accordance with a law passed through her instrumentality, she visited that Institution on the occasion of the graduation of a clas3, and heard Hobson, wlw was a member of the class, discuss, us a part of his graduating examination, the damaging effeot of alcohol on the human system, and particularly its relation to the | performance of a sailor's duty under circumstances of exposure. To tho knowledge gained by the instruction given at the Naval Academy she Attributed the fact that when the lost officer of tho Texas going over the rail of the doomed Merrimac at two o'clock on the morning of Hobson's great exploit, turning, asked him: "Shall we send you some breakfast, old man?" Hobson replied: "No, we don't care for breakfast, but send us plenty of"?not whisky, as any officer of the navy would have requested twenty years ago, but "coffee." Mrs. Hunt attributed the clearheaded activity that made the desperate venture of Hobson and bis companions successful, to the absence of liquor. He's a Teetotaler. He tried everything he could hear of, winding up at an institute, but the drink habit could not;be eradicated. One day ho said he would try an original experiment j on himself. He would take a large bottle i with hlt\ for a dav. and whenever he ! " wanted a drink would pour it into the bottle instead of into bis gullet. He denied himself nothing, but went the same old rounds, a gluss of rye here, a glass of Bourbon there, beer yonder, gin somewhere else, cocktails everywhere. When the day was done the bottle contained a mess that looked so unpalatable and emitted so foul an odor that the man got frightened and swore off for life.?New York Press, Abitainers Made Better Soldiers. The Haverhill Gazette has now and again a good word to say of temperance. Here is one of Its latest: "Public attention ha* been repeatedly drawn of late years to tho fact that total abstinence is necessary if people desire to live long and lead useful Jives. In the experience of the men just returned from Cuba it is admitted that the men who were total abstainers wore better able to withstand the hunger and privations of the service than were drinking soldiers. Of the six members of the Father ilathcw Temperance Society in Company D, Ninth Regiment, Charlestown, all returned in better condition than was the case with others who had been social drinkers." Notes of the Crusade. One man in six in the British navy Is a teetotaler. Drunkenness is a destroyer of peace and ! happiness.

It is the part of every householder, or any one in authority, public or private, to carefully consider orders before they are given. But after they are issued it would be suicidal to all government to argue out the matter with employe, servant, or ohild. From the nature of things, they cannot judge the necessity or worth of the command it is their part to carry out. Many funny stories are told of freshly trained soldiers and sailors, to whom the thought was new that their first virtue was implicit obedience. One such tale dates back to our Civil War, and is told for truth by one who overheard it. A sailor of one of ..the big gunboats of the time was notorious for his lazy habits, ps well as for his ingenuousness in finding excuses for his careless ways. While seemingly hon est, he was often hauled up for reprimand or punishment. The captain, a passionate man and a believer in stern discipline, lost patience with Tom, and when the fellow was brought before him for the third time in cne week for some neglect of work, he said, angrily, "What?again, Tom?"
