'Courting, from all accounts, is a
pretty tcugh job in Mexico. The
young man is first - supposed to meet
the young lady on the* plaza. They
sever speak, but they atewajfogaze at
each other as they p#SWB~Jen the
lady doea not make her appearance on
the plaza the young man will repair
tcy the street fronting the house, and
walk up and down in :front of it for
several hours. He will always ga?,e
earnestly at the window as ho passes.
The young lady and he?* female friends
are inside, and she will return his
glance. After 10 o'clock the \oung
man will go home. This performance
is continued for a couole of months,
and at last the " young man
will knock boldly it the door
and ask for the >ady of the
house. He will tell her he is in de
spair. That her daughter is an angel
from the Paradise valley of Heaven;
that she is beautiful beyond compare;
that she is better than she is beautiful;
that he is wildly in love with her,
and that iife has no possible intere t
for him unless he can win-her. He
will then tell of his prjspectMn life^
what he is possessed oi and Iftpe-t to
be possessed ot If this latter is sat
isfactory to the mamma, she will com
miserate with him tel. him that she
has noticed his attentions to her
daughter, and finally conclude by in
viting him to the inner circle and in
troducing him to the young lady in
the presence of the a sem Jed family.
The grandma (if there is a zrandma
in the family) wil sit between the
young peop.e and witness their cooing.
All the re-t of the family remain in
the room also, unless they are other
wise engaged, but under no cir
cumstances must the young peo
ple be left alone a second. This, you
will admit, is pretty toigh, but that
is not half what the young man must
suffer before the padre doses the bar
gain and gives him a propr etary inter
est in his lady love. If, perchance, the
young lady has a pair of big brothers?
and such is generally the case?the un
fortunate swain is expected to treat
thern to mescal and cigarettes every
time they meet. If a circus or a the
atre company visit the town it is the
prerogative of the young la y to ask
all her female relatives to accompany
her to th.* show, and the young man,
of course, Is expected and required to
foot the bill But the worst part of
the business for the love-sick young
man remains to be told. He cannct
Walk by the side of his affianced on the
way to or from the theatre. She will
start off ahead in company with some
female friend, while the young man
will bring up the rear on the arm of
his grandmamma or some equally ven
erable dame. This is the recogn'zed
and inviolable custom of the country,
and while it exists the American
young man will n tbe a social success
in Maxier?. He cannot stand the
ra ket. If the young couple are very
spoony they can be married in six
months, though well-regulated society

Beauty That is Bought In Shops.
It is a question whetder beauty,
like goodness, mu it not n c ssarily be
genuine in order to be adm irable. The
climax of this theory is reached wheit
the old lady of eighty-five, the aged
patroness of many charlatans, is held
up to a Imiration because?at a little
distance?she would pass fur thirty.
? Proudly her "makers-np" point out
how this effect is produced; her hair
is false, her ^kinis enameled?bsde
being "tighten d" to prevent
wrinkles?her eyelashes are stained,
her figure is ?* made." the is false all
,pver^T-w. is this admirable? Would
not a little honest old age and ugliness
be more agreeable? Be this as itrn ayr
it is not very important. When a lady
has r ached the mature age of eighty
five her appearancA^oubles no one
very much, except IrHUUhH^ildre^.
But when it comes to ?8ggj?T whom
you love, or mi^ht lov?B|l^you was
qmtejnejlajnjtlmt she was, genuine,;
ri&TcasaTTdiffw^
that your dear Angela must sleep in
corsets, or sue never, never could at
tain to the fashiunable waist; it is sad
to think of the inev.table results on
her poor little feet of those Louis
Quinze heels, which make her pretty
boots look so bewitching.
Figure to yourself what it must feel
like to take your beauty-sleep with a
pair of pincers on. your nose. That
pretty old-fa?hioned expression has
now taken a new and dreadful mean
ing. Any one who desires to possess
the *Mra Langtry nose" has but to
sleep in torment a week or two and
the great resuit is obtained. If the
figure of the would-be beauty is not as
lovely as she wishes, "the anatomical
cors.'t-maker " will supply her with a
nocturnal.squeezing' apparatus which
/will "fine her down" by degrees. I
her stature is too low for beauty, she
may remedy this by wearing what is
mildly called an "appliance," in the
days of the Inquisition it would prob
ably have been classed as an instru
ment of torture. This appliance
squeezes and stretches all the lower
part of the body, and its use is said
nofc to interfere with the comfort of
one's beauty-sleep.
Once enameled, always enameled.
The professed beauty c an only afford
to be yellow, "gray and uncurled" in
secret. She rinds herself precipitated
on the downward path. It is just a>
well, having once begun to attend
to the matter, to perfect her
beauty. Why not make use of the
marvels of modern inventiveness?re
moJel her ears, her nose and her fin
ger-tips! It is difficult to say why
she should not carry her theory ont to
the full- -London World.
Fashion Notes.
ifitts are not worn with full dress.
Dark blue canvas grenaaine, draped
r ver side and tastet ul y tr rnnud, forms
a most becoming co.-turae.
. In?h-wide ecru linen braids have
embroidered figures worked in Lndia
red and indigo blue cotton.
Nun's veilings, though pretty, have
become very common, and are now
only worn in the morning.
A rL-h . arriage cloak in blue satin
is studded with plush flowers n the
faded shades known as old gobelins.
The English fashion of wearing
light gray or drab riding habits in
summer is gradually being adopted in
this country.
A late costume of ecru batiste is
embroidered with small corn flowers.
The hat is of ecru lace, trimmed with
corn flowers.
Oval medallions of leather basket
work are set on buff linen bands
which have their edges wrought with
blue and gold.
White linen scolloped borders have
beautiful Per ian designs stitched in
brlgut red and blue and embroidered
with gold thread.
An evening dress of pink shows a
?^ird of paradise, with outstretched
Wwigs, perching on a bouquet of flow- j
ers,Nt}mbroidered on the train.
For cool days there are short, c'o-je
fitting jackets in blue rigogne, trimmed
in silver and black braid, and fastened
with 8?ver^ burnished buttons.
A new pelisse^ in bronze velvet,
embossed with Large palms; velvet
sash, with large tassels at the side.
"Russian sleeves, fuUat the top.
The " Langtr/' method of wearing
the hair hs going^out. By Christmas
all the women aSlgirls will be wear
ing their hair on the top of their
heads;
The lawn tenni3 bio ise is a gath
ered belted waist of white or light
cloth with a deep bkesailor collar. It
is worn with a sailor necktie and wide
canvas belt.
Gu pure lace is very popular la Paris
for t mug summe dre e. It is
very wide, ecru in color and the de
sign comes in relief. It is called gui
pure kremlin, and it looks very well
on velet crepe de chine or sateen.
Heal laces are again worn, and
elderly women are bringing to light all
their treasures in the way of Venetian
rose point, Chantilly flounces, Brussels
thread and antique guipure laces. It
is said that lace points and shawls are
also to be revived.
Dresses made entirely of lace are
'iraped with pompon bows over orange,
pink, straw and cream color. The
bodices are gent-rally of velvet, the
!sa ne color as the satin underneath the
;iace, and are opened in the front and
cut square in the back, but not low.
A charming way of adorning the
numerous fancy muslins, how so much
worn, is to coil ribbons of two con
trasting shades?say pals blue and
pale pink?round the neck, th n carry
them thus interlaced down the center
of the bodice, to terminate eituer at
the waist or lo wer part of the pannier
in a shower of merry, dancing loops,
the twin ribb.ms being caught down
ail their course by spr.gs of mignonette,
forget-me-not or red currant.
A white satin dress, trimmed with
wheat ear -, is very preity. Fruit
c omes into the trimming of dresses for
c-venihg wear more than tlowers. A
paie pink satin dre-s, with short skirt,
cffecte i With a sort of flounce of red
currants, is one mode, and a garland
of apricots surrounds the square cut
bodice of white satin dreis. Fruit
n ay be pretty, but there is nothing
that wilt ever take the place of flow
ers?be. ide, the latter are in infinitely
better taste.
Razors.
Primarily a razor, to be good, a New
York expert said to a Ban reporter,
must be made of good steel, but it
must also be ground properly to be fit
for shaving. Everything, in fitting
aay edge tool for use, depends upon a
correct understanding of the service
it is expected to perform, and a nice
adaptation of its edge to just
that service. A carving-knife, for
instance, must be ground flat on one
side and Wedge-shaped on the other;
a pocket-knife must be ground convex,
and have a sufficient thickness behind
its edge to keep it; and a razor must
bo ground thin and concave. See this
one, for instance. It is, as you will
observe, thinner a little back of the
edge than close to it, hardly thicker
tl an a sheet of paper. Nip the end of
ltu edge with your thumb nail, and you
w ill hear it ring like a little silver bell.
More razors are spoiled by improper
grind ng than in any other way. The
only way to know positively whether a
ra-.or s good or not is to shave with it.
Tiie tye will not determine its quality.
But even if a ra :or is of the best steel,
aad faultlessly ground, it may be
spsiled and rendered quite unfit -for
shav.ng by improper stropping. A
little too much stropping, or not quite
enough, aud you will have a bad edge.
Then the razor, which is really not all
to i la Jie, is conde uned as no good.
A razor is supposed to be better
for a rest after it has been used for a
good while. And it is. My idea
a out it is that an imperceptible rust
gathers on it in disuse, and when that
is honed and stropped off its edge is
thinner and sharper than before. But
you will not infrequently hear a bar
ber speak of a razor as " being tired "
and "needing rest." Many men avoid
wearying a razor by constant use by
the expedient of having several and
usiag them in turn. Here, for exam
ple, is what we term a " ca endar case,"
got up to meet the requirements of
geitlemen who takethat sensible view
of their razors. It contains, as you
will obserye, seven fine razors, lettered
on the backs for the days of the week.
Such cases are sold at various prices,
all the way up from $7 to $20. Why
do I call it ' a sensible view?" Be
cause, naturally, sev n razors, by such
chtmging round, will each do but one
seventh of what w^uld be required of
ae<! razof^4Xins_tant use, and conse
quently the evil "day'ofr-regrinding is
put seven times further away. Son) 6.
men have a great number of razors,
and keep adding to their collection all
the time.
A good razor is worth from $1.50
to 230, but there are cheap kinds
sold as low as $2 a dozen. There are
infinite number of styles and sizes of
razors. Some like a big, heavy blade;
othBrs a small, light, very narrow and
deeply concaved blade. I rather think
the latter are least liable to cut the
skin. In all cases the blade and han
dle of the razor should balance per
fectly when it is held in position for
use
Anecdote of Queen Tictoria.
Gossips say that Queen Victoria is
growing morose, and that many of her
subjects have lost their enthusiastic
regiird for her, and others are inclined
to manifest toward her a feeling of in
difference. "If the master is morose,"
says, the proverb "little wonder that
the servant is sullen." It is possible
that the gossips may bring a true re
port, for the queen belongs to a family
whose members have not been marked
in old age for cheeriness of disposition.
In the days, however, when he was
alivo whom she calls, in her Highland
diary, "my nestimable husband and
frieni, my all in all," the queen was of
a kindly and simple character. An
anecdote illustrates this':
Mr. W?, a p cture lover, was anx
ious to see the great paintings in the
apartments of Buckingham palace.
His jrother, a London carpet-merchant,
was ordered to put cown new carpets
in the state apartments of the palace.
W? put on a workman's blouse and
entered the palace while the roj'al fam
ily was residing in it.
Once in, he dropped his assumed
character and devoted himself to the
pictures. While be was alone in one
of tbe rooms the quein came tripping
in, wearing a plain white morning
dress. Two or three of her younger
children accompanied her.
"Pray, can you tell me," she said,
to the supposed workman, " when the
new carpet w ill be put down in the
privy council chamber ?"
W?, thinking he had no right to
recognize the queen under the circmn
>tances, answered: ??Really, madame,
I cannot tell, but I will inquire."
"Stay!" she said, kindly but
abruptly; " who are you ? I perceive
that; you are not one of the work
men."
Blushing aud stammering, he con
fessed who lie was. and the motive
which had led him to a sume a work
man's dre.-s.
The queeu. appeased by his love of
art, said, with a smile: "I knew for
all your dress that you were a gentle
man, because you d'd not 'your
majesty' me. Pray look at the pi :tures
as long as you will. Good-morning 1
Come, chicks, wc must go."?Youth's

FAEM, GARDEN A5D HOUSEHOLD.
A New Wrinkle In Horticulture.
" Horticulturists," says the Farmers'
Union, " are learning something new
every day in regard to the cultivation
and growing or fruit trees. Hereto
fore it has been a common practice
with many in setting out orchards to
heavily manure the exact locality
where the trees were to be deposited,'
without scattering it all over the sur
face. Practical experience has devel
oped the fact that all of the land set
apart for the orchard should be ma
nured. Spread it broadcast, so that the
extremities of the roots can be bene
fited by it. Manuring heavily in a
sinaU compass at the crown or foot of
a tree-r-atter it has been set out, or
even after it is in bearing?only has a
tend ncy to aid the immediate part af
fected; while by spreading it all over
the surface all the roots will be bene
fited, and will be found much better
than confining the fertilizer to the foot
of the tree. At the same time, instead
of cultivating a small circle ahout the
foot of the tree stir up the whole sur
face; cultivate all the ground alike."
Klinten o'I C ? cam.
Butter is onj of the most com
plicated products; its quality depends
upon a great variety ot conditions?
the cow, the food, the air of the stable,
the water, the milk pails, pans and the
place where the milk is set, beside
many other things. When cream I e
comes covered with a sort of pimples
all over the surface, with here and
there yellowish or reddish dots or spots
upon it, it is attacked by a specie of
mildew or fungus, which very soon
spreads all through it. This spoils the
flavor of the butter. Prom some
troublesome and ca-eful experiments
the past winter the writer is convinced
that this is caused by too much damp
ness in the milkroom cellar and the
presence of germs of mildew. The
first was corrected by putting some
fresh lime in the milkroom, which ab
sorbed the excess of moisture, and by
burning sulphur in it to disinfect it
and destroy the mildew germs. By
burning sulphur sulphurous acid is
produced, and this is a very active
hntiseptic and destructive of all kinds
of molds, mildews and ferments. It
would also be well to look closely to
the water drunk by the cow.?Ex

Feeding Sl:eeP>
You must not collect a large fluck
of sheep before you get something for
them to eat, and that something must
be their natural food. That food is
grass?grass that is sodded and peren
nial. Th.-: stomach of a sheep is small
and he eata but little at a time, and he
wants that little very often, say every
two or thre hours hence be should be
where he an gath< r his o wn food.
The tenden y of all kinds of gra n and
dry proyender is to make sheep un
healthy. A little , rain before sending
to the shambles is useful to fatten,
but fat itself is a disease and Suould
be avoided so far as po.-sible in all
breeding animals Likewise should
the other extreme, viz., poverty?be
avoided. I have seen sheep degener
ate from poverty more in one gener
tion than they coul I be improved in
two or three. I see much in the papers
about sheep loving bitter weeds, briars,
sassafras and the like, and they are
good scavengers for a foul farm. My
sheep love the cultivated grasses best.
I remember once to have killed some
sassafras with sheep, but I also killed
some of my sheep. It was done by
confining them too long to the same
territo y as well as to the same food.
Sheep need to have their pasture
cha ig.-d at least once a month. And
this new pasture is as mu -h to force
them to sleep in a new p ace as it is to
give a variety of food, Xo sheep can
be healthy long that sleeps on thesame
place and over his own excrement
every night.?Farming World.
Tasteful Gardens.
It seems to be the universal notion,
at le.ist in this country, that the vege
table garden and flower garden must
of necessity be separated. So it hap
pens that if the ground at one's dis
posal is small, the ornamental features
of gardening i:re entirely abandoned.
While the^T?getable garden is of
necessity the more important, this
fact does not debar the possibility of
ornamentation. In the mere arrange
ment of vegetables there is a wide
field for ths e .ercising of taste. Few
kitchen vegetables, when iroperly
grown and trained, are unsightly. A
neat border of strawberries often
gives a pleasing effect when planted
in front of larger plants. Some of the
principles of landscape gardening may
bb applied to a small vegetable garden
with no loss of time or space. In
gardens so small that a horse cultivator
cannot be used, it is better taste to set
most plants in clumps instead of un
broken rows. P' a; planted in clumps
and neatly trained on to several poles
converging and tied together at the
top are really beautiful plants. More
over, this is the easiest way of grow
ing them. The peas are easier gath
ered and the wind does not blow down
the clump as easily as single speci
mens. These hills or clumps may be
arrahged in rows if the horse-hoe is to
be used. Some attention might be
given in a vegetable garden to the
succession of plants. Early vege
tables, as radishes, might be planted
among other plants which will cover
the ground later in the s ason. The
odd places in the garden might be
plante l to ornamtn'al plants. Many
of the coarser-growing species are es
pecially desirable for a background to
a vegetable garden; or, if room cannot
be spared, a trellis of neatly-trained
tomato vines may be made into an at
tractive background. The mott im
portant operation, however, is to keep
the garden neat, especially if it is near
the house or the street. The prompt
kemoval of pea brush, i abbage stumps
and the like is a wonderful beautifitr
of the gar.len.?Culticator. i

" It is natural for the calf to suckle
its mother, and I don't suppose you
can improve on nature," says the old
fashioned farmer, wh n urged to
bring ins calf up by hand, and raise it
on skimmed milk.
But the whole process of raising
calves and keeping mil h cows is an
effort to improve on nature.
In the >tate of nature, or when run
ning wild, the cow gives milk only for
the purpose of raising its young. The
amount given is proportioned to that
end, and the supply ceases when the
calf can get its living from the pas
tures. In the domesticated condition
the cow is bred with the avowed object
of incr asing the milk production and
prolonging its period, and is then
grain-fed and supplied wiih hay and
roots in winter and put in warm
stables an i otherwise so treated that
she is no better alapted for the
methods which were natural to the
wild animal than her owner would
be to go back to the manner of life of
the primitive savages who dwelt in
caves and dressed in skins of animals
that they had caught in the chase, and
kiiled with clubs, and eaten raw, be
cause they knew not how to build a
fire.
The same argument will apply to
those who say it is not natural to milk
the cow or the heifer before she drops
her calf, though her udder may be
swollen almost to the point of burst
ing; or who insist upon the milch cow
going dry two or three months. There
would be as much reason in saying that
a cow should not and could not give
more than sixteen quarts of milk per
day, "because that was all grandpas
cow gave," an 1 refusing to draw more
than that, as to cease milking when a
cow is giving five or six quarts of -ulk
per day, simply because 'she has given
milk as near to her time of calving as
grandpaallowe 1 his cows to be milked."
Do not feed for the purpose of in
creasing the mi k pf duction at s::ch
times, and if possible reduce it by re
ducing food in quantity or in nutritive
quality, but; if the milk is there draw it
off, if you wish to avoid garget, milk
fever, and ch other diseases as may
come from a.i overloaded udder and
milk glands, ci from a too sudden
change in the whole system of the
animal.?American Cultivator.
Koroiene tin an Insecticide.
The many experiments with kerosene
as an insect destroyer during the past
two years convinces leading entomol
ogists that this well-known and cheap
fluid meets a long felt want. The best
method of applying kerosene is in a
fine emulsion with milk, made by a
process of churning, and afterward
diluted to any desired strength. The
emulsion can be applied through a fine
rose of a watering pot, or on a large
scale by a force pump with a spray
nozzle. The kerosene thus showered
upon the plants is very penetrating,
and will destroy the insects in all
stages of development, even to the
eggs. Two parts of kerosene to one
of sour milk is a proper proportion.
If fre3h milk is not at hand condensed
milk diluted to the same strength may
ba employed. This mixture is suc
cessfully used for the scale insect in
the orange groves of Florida, and can
be, it is thought, employed to. de
stroy chinch bugs. A mixture of
water and three per cent kero
sene is deadly to the bugs and
does no harm to the growing corn. By
spraying a few outside rows, nearest
a ripening field of wheat, the whole
area of corn can be protected from
the second brood of the destructive
chinch bug. The apparatus for the
cheapest and best application of the
emulsion is yet to be devised. Doubt
less a sprinkler drawn by two horses
could be made that, by passing be
tween the rows of corn, would spray
them quickly and effectively. All
farmers seriously troubled with Insects
should give kerosene a trial. By using
a cheap grade of petroleum the e
pense is small, and with the necessary
apparatus for applying the emulsion a
s?ie and successful war may be waged
against the insect enemies. Much de
pends upon promptness and energy;
therefore, the farmer should be pre
pared to act at the earliest warning.
A barrel of kerosene and a garden
fores pump, with necessary attach
ments, ready for u e, may come to be
as essential a part of a well-equipped
farm or fruit and vegetable garden as
fire extinguishers in a city. Try the
mixture on a small area to determine
the proper strength. It may be that
one proportion is best for the potato
beetle and another for the cabbage
worms, etc.; but the emulsion must
never be so strong as to injure the
plants upon which it is sprayed.?

How EnKllnto Helps.
In an article on farming on sandy
iand, by ut. Hoskins, in the Exam
iner, he shows how ensilage helps. He
says:
"The introduction of the ensilage
system has been another immense
' boost' to the light land farmers, and
this is one secret of the vast enthusi
asm over it which astonishes so many.
The weakness of the sandy farm,
until it is fully restored, and even af
terward, is in slight endurance under
g ass, both for hay and- pasture. The
great, dark-looking meadows of the
clay farms, bear ng their rich burdens
of gra s year after year, with their
pastures lush and rank with the
'honeysuckle' (white clover) that in
sures a full flow of milk from spring
till fall; have been the despair of the
fanner who dairied upon the sandy
levels. But now green rye, clover
and fodder-corn tide over the-dry pas
turage in summer and autumn. They
are easily grown, and so are the big
fields of ensilage corn that take a
milk herd through the winter, and
with the meal that goes with it fill the
cellars and sheds with rich, fine,
heavy manure, with which it is fun to
grow every crop a farmer can want,
?ither to use or sell. Properly fixed to
3ave the whole of these stable drop
pings, the dairy farmer soon solves to
Iiis satisfaction the vexed problem of
ild: 41 an a cow's manure be made to I
produce her feed ?' He finds his sandy
,'ann growing more anl more produc
;ive year after y aar, fuller of vegetable
natter, darker in color, more loomy-in
;exture, and abb? to carry heavy crops
;hrough a dry season, even better than
;he clay uplands which he once envied.
Thus we are beginning to realize in
New England that our once4 wornout'
sandy lands can be made into good
md profitable farms at moderate ex
pense. Some such farms that I know
)f have increased in value from one to
Ive hundred per cent, within ten
rears, paying expenses from the start.
Just before my eyes where I sit writ
ng, I see a forty-acre field of grass
ipoa ? poor, sandy land,' that ten years
igo grew scarcely anything but sorrel,
rvhich in a few weeks will cut not less
than one and a half tons to the acre,

Dushels of wheat and thirty-seven
uushels of rye to the acre. This farm

Hooiehold Hints.
A little tomato catsup is a great ad
dition to a mixture of cold boiled ham,
mustard, etc., for sandwiches.
If nutmeg is grated and mixed with
the ginger in hard gingerbread, a
piquant flavor is given to it.
When making soup in which roots
or teifcs ?e used?a good way is to put
the meat in the bottom of the kettle
and place the roots or herbs on it, hav
ing first cut them in small pieces;
cover with cold water, and then put a
plate over the meat, pressing it down
closely; let this cook slowly, and when
this water is almost exhausted put in
the desired quantity for the soup.
The following is useful in cleaning
and restoring color to wooden floors:
One part calcinated soda is allowed to
stand three-quarters of an hour in one
part slack lime, then add fifteen parts
of water, and boil. Spread the solu
tion thus obtained*upon the floor with
a rag, and after drying rub with a hard
brush and fine sand and water. A so
lution of one part concentrated sul
phuric acid and eight parts water will
enliven the wood after the above ap
plication. When dry wash and wax
the floor.
Resuscitation from Drowning.
The following rules for resuscitating
an apparently drowned person are ap
proved by the American Medical asso
ciation, and have been adopted by the
United States life saving service:
Rule 1. To drain off water from
eiiest and stomach?Instantly strip the
patient to the waist. Place him face
downward, the pit of the stomach be
ing raised above the level of the mouth
by a large, hard roll of clothing being
placed beneath it. Throw your weight
forcibly, two or three times, for a mo
ment or two, upon the patient's back,
placing your hands between and below
tue shoulder blades on each side, so as
to press ali ;iuids from the stomach out
of the mouth
Rule 2. To perform artificial breath
ing?Quickly turn the patient on his
back, the roll of clothing being so
placed beneath so as to make the
breast bone the highest point of the
body. Kneel beside or astride the pa
tient's hips. Grasp front part of the
chest on either side;' of the pit of the
stomach, resting your fingers along
the spaces between the short ribs.
Brace your elbows. against your
sides, and steadily grasping and
pressing forward and upward,
throw your whole weight upon
the chest so grasped,gradually increas
ing the pressure while you count one
two-three ; then suddenly let go, with
a final push, which springs you back
to your first position. Rest erect upon
your kne : while you count one-two.
Then make pressure again as before,
repeating the entire motions at first
about four or five times a minute,
gradually increasing -to about ten or
twelve times. Use the same regularly
as in blowing bellows, and as is seen
in natural breathing, which you are
imitating. It another person be
present, let him, with one hand, by
means of a dry piece of linen,
hold the tip of the tongue out of one
corner of the mouth, and with the
other hand grasp both wrists and pin
them to the grouud above the patient's
head.
Rule 3. After treatment?After
breathing has become natural dry the
patient quickly; or if it can be accom
plished without interfering with the
immediate efforts to restore breathing,
this may be done previously by a
second assistant. Wrap the patient in
blankets only; let him b? kept per
fectly quiet. Take the precaution to
provide a free circulation of air within
the room.
Additional suggestions: 1.?Avoid
delay. A moment may turn the scale
for life or for death. Dry/ ground,
shelter, stimulants, etc, at this mo
ment are nothing; artificial breathing
is everything?is the one remedy; all
other means are secondary. If the
breathing has but just c ased, a smart
slap on the face" or stomach will some
tin es start it again, and may bo tried
inci .entally.
2. Prevent the crowding of friends
around the patient, and thus excluding
currents of air; also .from attempting
to administer any stimulant before the
patient is breathing regularly and
is weil able to swal.ow;. the first~pro
motes suffocation; the second fatal
choking.
3. Do not be impatient of results.
Any time within two hours you may
be on the very threshold of success
without there being any sign of it
There are instances on record where
breathing has been restored after hav
ing ceased for an hour or more.
Use of the Small Boy.
It has b en the habit of the brother
hood-Of newspaper parag. apheis to say
bitter and even cruel things of the
small boy. Like that part of the com
munity known as the mother-in-law,
the small boy has had no rights which
these manly wits felt bound to respect.
And yet it is evident that the small
boy has his uses. An example of his
usefulness was given at the burning
of the Kimball house, at Atlanta, Ga.,
where the horrors of the Newhall
house disaster in Milwaukee came near
being repeated. But for the energy of
a couple of newsboys, who went
th:ough the building arousing the
guests by their shouts, many of them
would have continued to sleep until
too late to save themselves. These
two unknown small boys of the news
variety prevented a te.iible tragedy.
And perhaps a hundred people owe it
lo the ene.getic screams of these
youngsters that they are still alive.
The small boy has his vices. He is
addicted to mischief. lie teases dogs
and is death to cats. He plays practi
cal jokes on his elders whe l he gets a
chance. There is nothing aesthetic
about him, nor comely either. But it
will be remembered that when the old
World building was on fire, and es
cape from the flames was next to im
possible, it was a little bootblack who
had the foresight and courage to cut
the telegraph wires, and in this way
was instiumental in saving several
lives. He was properly recognized as
ab y hero. And the youngsters whose
shouts save 1 many lives at Atlanta,
a re certainly deserving of honor. In
fact, there are small boys who have
in them the elements of noble and
useful manhood. And if the small
boy were cuffed less and encouraged
more he might be found a good deal
more useful than he is.?New York

Old, but Good.
"Yes," she sighed, "the world is
hard, especially to the poor. I often
think that the good people who eulogize
work so highly do not know much of
overwork." " Quite true," assented
Mrs. Sothi ran. "Poor Sarah Demp
ster, yonder (she pointed to a neighbor
ing tombstone), was of your opinion ;
her epitaph, unlike those of most of
us, paints her life as it really was. If
y.iu never read it, it is worth your
while to do so." The tombstone is in a
neglected corner of the churchyard,
overgrown with nettles and long
grasses, but its inscription was still
h gible:
Here lies n poor woman, who always wa
tired,
Who lived in a house where help was not
tired:
Her last words on earth were, "Dear friends,
I am going
Where washing ain't done, nor sweeping,
nor sewiug;
Bet e\erything there is exact to my wishes,
For where they don't eat there's no washing
up dishes.
I'll be where loud anthems will always be
r ngingj
But having no voioa, I'll get clear of the
singing.
Don't mourn for me now, don't mourn for
me never,
I'm going to do nothing forever and ever."
" That may not be poetry," observed
Mr3. Sotheran, with unconscious pla
giarism, " but it's true. There is noth
ing much worse than overwork"?

?A CORHEB.?
What la meant by the Tona?Ita Origin?A
Specimen Wheat Conor.
The newspapers startle us all, now
and then, with headings such as "Disas
trous Corner in Lard," "Terrible
Breakin the Oil Corner " " Frenzy in
the Chicago Exchange; the great Pork
"^Corner ali gone to pieces." High-princi
pled inen do not cry their eyes out
when they read of this kind of disas
ter. Some men even smile, rub their
hands, utter exclamations of pleasure,
and express the opinion that "it serves
the speculators right I"
But what is a Corner? Let us go
back to the origin of things, like the
old-fashioned authors, who, when they
wrote the "HLtory of the Isle of
Dogs," began with the creation of the
world and the fall of man.
Corners appear to have been in
vented at the time of the tulip mania
in Europe, about 1535. When the
tul p was introduced into the northern
nations of Europe, about the year
ltiOO, it excited the liveliest admiration
from the brilliancy and variety of its
colors. The price of rare bulbs rose
every season, until several varieties
were worth their weight in gold.
Then the trade degenerated into gamb
ling, and corners were made. For in
stance: A great lord would order,
April 1, a bulb of fashionable species
to be delivered to him on uctober 1, the
price then to be two hundred pounds.
When October 1 arrived the ruling
price was one hundred and fifty
pounds. The great lord did not want
the tulip; he was only speculating.
Nor did the seller have any bulbs, or
expect to have any, f or he, too, was a
speculator. According on October 1,
the nobleman paid him the fifty pounds
which he would have cleared if the
contract had involved a reality, and
that ended the transaction. If the
bulb had been worth on October 1 two
hundred and fifty pounds, the noble
man would have recovered fifty pounds
and the speculator would have lost
that amount. A corner in bulbs was
made when a dealer would slip over to
Holland, ascertain how many of the
bulbs (for which, at that date there
was the largest demand) were in ex
istence, buy as many of them as he
could, and keep them out of the mar
ket until he had created an artificial
scarcity. Then the price rose and he
would sell
; The tulip corner was comparatively
innocent, because tu?ps are not one of
the necessaries of life. But what
"shall we say of a corner in pork, in
corn, in oil, in wheat, in oats, in pota
toes ? What shall we say of mil'ion
aires who, by a system of lies, make a
poor widow pay a dollar and fifty cents
more for her winter barrel of flour than
it is fairly worth ?
, Take, for example, the wheat corner
of 1879, described by Mr. Henry D.
Lloyd in the North American Review.
A few very rich men put their
heads and their millions of dollars to
gether to buy a mountain of wheat.
First, they got fifty articles published
in their papers, predicting low prices
?very low prices. Telegrams from
various markets of Europe appeared,
all speaking of the immense quantities
of wheat coming forward. The specula
tors sold even a million bushels or so at
low rates, while buying ten millions at
the same rates. At length, when they
have bought from twenty to fifty mil
lions of bushels, they stop selling ex
cept at a price which no legitimate
buyer can afford to pay. Read what
Mr. Lloyd says about it: " The price
was run down to eighty-one and one
half cents per bushel. When all the
wheat and wheat contracts to be had
were obtained, the price was ra sed to
one dollar and thirty-three cents."
" During the winter four hundred ves
sels lay in New York harbor, the own
ers pleading for wheat, even at ruin
ously low rates of freight."
In other words, farmers sold their
wheat at a losing price, poor men paid
high prices for their Hour, ship owners
suffered serious loss, and all interests
suffered; in . order that six grasping,
k merciless men might make two million
dollars each.
We should like to be king for about
half an hour just to place such s ecu
' lating gentry where they wouid do
i their country most goo I. Happily
their cornerings often corner them,
and their ill-gotten millions are gone
in a click of the telegraph.?Youth's

The Farmer-Sailors of Capo Cod.
A writer in the Century describes
" Cape Cod," and says of the inhabit
ants: " A wood-packet runs regularly
from Cotuit to Nantucket. It is quite
common for the crews of coasting ves
sels hauled up in the winter to turn to
felling wood; in this, as in everything
else, is seen a mingling of rural and
maritime pursuits, livery mariner
knows something of farming, and
every farmer is more or less of a sailor.
They tell of an action against a town
for injuries from a delect in a high
way, in which the distance of a certain
hole in the road from the traveled path
was in question. A town officer had
fixed the distance by actual measure
ment, and the only evidence for
the plaintiff was that of
a man who simply gave his
judgment. Nobody could gue:s
how the plaintiff's counsel would get
around the evidence of the town offi
cer. But he was undaunted. 'Gen
I tlemen of the jury,' he said, both
witnesses are honest; one of them is
mistaken?which is it ? You all know
how liable we are in ciphering or
in measuring to make a mistake of
calculation; my good friend, the select
man, probably laid down his loot-rule
one time more or less than he thought,
and so he is mistaken; but my wit
ness, gentlemen, did not put his trust
on any foot-rule; he knew better. As
you all know, he has cut more cord
wood than any other man in Barn
! stable county, and he can measure by
: his eye infallibly. About his accuracy,
I therefore, there can be no possible
j question. The selectman may be
i wrong; my witness can't be.'"
The Flathead Indians Not Flatheaded.
About seventy miles from the north
ern boundary of the United States, in
the Territory of Montana, between the
western slope of the Rockies and the
; more westerly chain of mountains
I known as the Cceur d'Alene, and, as
j you travel further south, as the Bitter
I Root, lies the reservation which has
been'a-signed to the tribe of Indians
! called the Flatheads; and probably no
I tribe have adapted themselves more to
I the manners of civilization at the ex
pense of their firmer customs and
habits than these. Why they are
called Flalbeads no one in their part
of the country seems to know. They
do not flatten their children's heads,
nor is there any tra-e or tradition
among them of such a custom having
been practiced formerly; and as their
Indian name is Selisli, it is probable
that the name of Flatbead was given
to them, as often happens in this coun
try, through the unaccountable freak
of some traveler.
Put Out His Eye.
There is a lady in London, the
daughter of a nobleman, who is con
spicuous for her anection and devo
tion to her husband, who has lost one
of his eyes. The story is a sad one,
During their courting days the gentle
man used to spend his Sundays at her
father's villa, not far from London
One Sunday morning the lady went tc
church without him, and on her re
turn saw him sitting at the open draw
ing-room window nodding over a
newspaper. For a joke she threw bei
prayer-book, intending to hit the news
paper and so waken him, but she
missed her aim, and the sharp cornei
of the book entered his eye, depriving
him of the sight of it forever.

in. my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder.
Buffered intense pain in iho Mdneya and
loins, and urination was accomplished with
the greatest of agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicine3, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. Shatras obliged
to use the urinal as many as fifteen times **n
a night, and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to Hunt's
Remedy, ana I concluded to try it: and after
using one bottle sho was a good deal better,
tho inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in nppetito
and felt r.o pain in tho back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain, and this bad been a great

After using six bottles she was completely

"I find that in iddition to the pare spirit*;
contained in their composition, thoy contain
the ortractB of hops and other well known sad
highly approved medicinal roots, leaves and
tinotnres hi quantities sufficient to render tto
article what the makers claim it to be, to
wit, a medicinal preparation and not a bar*
e rage?unlit and unsafe to be used except a,
a medicine. From a careful analysis of thou?
formula?which ^ras attested under oath?
[ find that in every wineglaseful of Hop
Bitters the active medicinal properties, arida
from tho distilled spirits, are equal to a fall
dose for an adult, which fact, in my opinion,
subjects it to an internal revenue tax as a
medicinal bitter." _

Five yer ra ago I broke down with kidney
and liver complaint and rheumatism. Since
then I have been unable to be about at alL
My liver became hard like wood; my limbs
were puflei up and filled with water. AU the
best physicians a forced that nothing could
cure me. I resolved to try Hop Bitters; I
have used seven be ttles; the hardness has all
gone from my livur, the swelling from my
limbs, end it has worked a miracle in my
case; otherwise I would have been now in my
grave. j. W. Mobxx.

Poverty and Suffering.
1 was dragged down with debt, poverty and
suffering :for years, caused by a sick family
and large bills for doctoring. I was com?
pletely discouraged until one year ago, by
tho advice of my pastor, I commenced using
Hop Bitters, and in one month we were ail
well, and none of ns have seen a sick day
since, and I w?nt to say to all poor men, you
can keep your families well a year with Hop
Bitters for less than one doctor's visit wiD
cost I know it. A Woekixgilln.
