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.

Irrigation For Fruit.
I believe that apple and plum trees
will bear full crops every year if they *
are amply supplied with water and
manure. Two years ago I put up a f
wind pump for irrigating which raised 1
120 barrels of water an hour in a good

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

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

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:

" The Caute of Temperance.
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.

personal experiences with members of the
criminal class.

"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.

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."

Almost uniformly the percentage or ;

An Argument.
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?"
"I'm not here of mj own will, sir."

diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is b"y constitutional

can be taken out and this tube restored
to its normal condition, hearing will be
