fler Thrfty AohiOvemente Mrs. Orrin Payne, who was born in Alon tgue, Mass., in 1700, was the oldest of nine- children-six boys and three girls. Verily.sheo has lived a busy life. She can't remember when sho did not have to work. When nineteen she taught one term of school, receiving fivo shillings per week and boarding round, always having bread and milk for supper, wearing a checkered tow gown, the cloth for which she had spun herself. For the succeeding twelve yurs she kept her father's house, all her rgthers (the yougest four and the oldest nineteen) living at home. Besides provi ding for the table, doing the washing and all the like duties of the household, she spun all the linen and wove and made the clothes for the whole family. The manner of living then was a boiled pot every day for dinner, served cold for breakfast, bread crnbled by the housekeeper, or pudding and milk for supper-ples only Thanksgiving and election days. During this time sho fre quently went out sewing for a day (fifteen hours), and when they stopped the clock to prolong the tune, often eighteen hours, at twelve and a-half cents per day. One June day she spun sixteen yards shirting. In 1812 she married Orrin Payne. Nathan Cheyney remarked that she would imake a man of anybody and a good store customer for him. Mr. Payne wis three years her senior. le died in 1873. I1er mairied lifo has been marked by the same industry as her maidenhood. Tihe first four years they raised flax and male it intocloth afterward, when it was superseded by cotton, She has always had a loom and made woolen cloth, carpets, etc. She took 100 pounds per year to make into cloth "to halves." She made about 100 yards of frocking a year, at 8 cents per yard. She furnished the material for the uniform of a well known. non-commissioned military compa ny that hailed from her neighborhood. Sonic years she has woven 500 yards of carpeting. 11er first carpet was for Moses Bardwell; the price of weaving ten cents per yard. She has made all her own bed quilts and great numbers for other people ; always exhibited bed-quilts, stockings, socks and stocking yarn, at the Franklin fairs. so long as the society hIs existed, and always received premniums. She had the care of a considerable dairy ; made butter and ,chese; boarded the district school mna'ams two terms a year for twenty cen secutive years, besides occasionally taking other boarders. She says that her present boarder, Locke Payne, is the only one from whom she has heard complaint, and, like Oliv. r Twist, ''found fault with his victuals and asked for more." She kept paupers when they were knocked off to the lowest bidder. Old Granny Sinclair, ten years at 75 cents per week; Betsy Allen, two ytears at $1; Ihannah Coon, three years; Olive Cary, two years; (ranny Ellis, two yeirs at $1; and never had one able to doi her own washing. Within six years she has woven 100 yards of carpeting and done considerable spining. Until within six years since she has been disabled by an accident, she has never hired help in the house( to the cost of $10. After Mir. 'ayne had got his farm paid for she began to save in her own name, and accumulated a considerable sumof mo ney. The neighbors of her early life-the bold yeomanry of Dry hlill-have all pas sed away. Antipus Stewart went away and liung himself; two large families of Bartlotts; Darius, Daniel and Libeous Payne; Uncle Bill Greene ; Martin and Eli jah Goodnow ; Tom and John illurd, have all passed away. Tie school has degener ated from forty to ten scholars. The old farms and houses are occupied by foreign era and transient inhahitants; and Dry 11111 seems to be destined to become what It was aparently designed for-a Hink to hold the wvorhi together, aid grow wood and tiuber upon. inw 11o "set 'Em Up."

SwmT POTATOS-How TO SAVE Tim.-In the first placo, dig thom at the right time, and the right timo is when they are ripe. .Broak a potato open, and if it oxudes'a gummy juile and turns dark when it dries, it Is not ripe, and will not keep, no matter how you hill It or protect it. On the other hand, if it breaks dry and maintains its whito color when it is broken, it will keep, even in spite of careless handling. The best time to dig the potato 18 after a long, dry spetl. if they are allowed to remain In the ground after a rain long enoIgk to take on a new growth, they will certainly not keep well. It is not iecessary that the frost should kill the vines before digging, if a long dry spell has already stopped their growth. If, however, the vines have continued green and vigorous. and the potatoes areI in a sappy condltio.1', let them stand until the viiesare killed by frost. In the Iext placti, handle thei carefully in digging. Do not allow them to be thrown about carelessly and skinned. Have them gathered in baskets, wiLrhout. being thrown In, car red in the same baskets to the place where they are to be Iilled, and emp tied with its little bruising as possible. Select all tihe broken and cut potatoes ind keep tiem apirt from the others. Choose a dry place for hilling them, sufliciently elevated to prevent rain from settling about them. Mlake a bed several inches thick, of' dry pm le straw, anid large enouigh to hold twenty-Ilve or thirty bushels of potatoes. Large hills ire objectionable because when a hill is once broken, It is inore liable to rot. Never put more than forty bush els Ill IL hill-we prefer twenty-five or thirty. Illaving heaped the potitoes in, the bed of pine straw, cover then com pletely with pinle straw, and unless the weather Is verv cold let them stand for two or three days, theni single over the hill, begininiig at the bottomi, wv ith pieces of pine bark, so arranged as to turn water, and cover lightly with eat Il, leavl ing a hole at the top, large enough to adlnit the hand. This coy cring of earth mist be regulated by the temperature of the winters, the olrect being to secure suflicient protection agahist frost. Of course the covering must be thicker in higher latitudes. In this climate a covering of two in cies li suflielent. Now build ia shelter of boards over tic bills to protect them f rom rains and the job is complete. LIME AND Cnocis.-Th bulk of all fertile soils consists of three earths, viz., silica, aluminu, and lime. Un Iixed with clay, sand or other organ Ic and inorgaiic substances, lime conl sists of tih oxide of the metallic ele mient calclum; and, as it enters into tihe composition of all l)iante, it necess arily occuples a large place in Nature's laboratory.

A tone of the Novgorod tribunals a few weeks ago the wife of a high military official wvas brought up by a priest's wife for danmaging tihe latter's goat by painting its face black, its ears sky blue and its nose scarlet, in imitation of the neat bitt not gaudhy ornamentation of his tail by the devil. Several witnesses were ealled who -testified that they thought the goat had been decorated wIth a view to its introduetion in some spectacular drama, with such consel entiousness had the fair artist perform ed her work. They also deposed to the seriousness wvith which she embel lished the animal, "kneeling before it on the grass," The singularity of the lady's taste was only equ'aled by the goat's ignortance of the first prinoiples of military science or his chivalrous re fusal,to put them in practice when thie lady turned around to dip her brush in the paint pot. Tfie woman -who would undertake to fresco the butt end of a goat would be guite capable of attempt irlg to carve her inials on the rear oh vation of a Kenitucky mule.

Corns are of four kinds, viz.- clavus (bunion), callus, soft and the common corn. The citi lus may be softened by moisttire. as by soaking in warn water; by the appli iation ofa stareb or soalp poultice; and being softened, the thickened cuticle iay be thinned by scraping with a blunt knife. When the thickening has beent reduced suflelontly, it may he kept dowln by daily washing with soap.

It is well known that the observation of part al solar eclipses line for a long time been considered of little astronoitlual Interest. The principal drawback has been tile difficulty of taking exact mi cronllet iceasu res of the sun, and deter minIIng the preelse nioment of tile Col tacts. M.
