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when it was superseded by cotton, She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

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

of boards over tic bills to protect them
f rom rains and the job is complete.
LIME AND Cnocis.-Th bulk of all

A Goat Al Fresco,
They have a pecuiliar brood of goats
and generals' wives In R ussia. 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.

Con.s.-Corns may be developed on
any part of the body where pressuro
1and friction exist to any iordinite do
gree; thus they may be occasioned by
too tight or too loose a sho; in the one
case being due to pressure, in the other
to friction ; aid they are most actively
> roduced whon both vauses are com
ined. They are met with most fre
uoritly Oil tie feet, onl accotant of the
unpliant nature of the covering of those
nrgans; between the toes from pressure
only; and oi other parts of the body
fron distortion. 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. Clavus and thesoft corn requtire
removal with the kilife; and In airect
Ing this ptipo!.e their mode of formation
Is to be born in mind If the soft corn
be or moderate size, a siigie pinch
with a pair of poilted scissors will ef
[ect, its removal, while the hard call us
wvill require a paxtimit digging with the
p)oint of a not too sharp knife. After
the operatioi, tihe corn should be sov

soft corn may be very consider
ibly aideol by tile use of the com
Lound tiietire of Iodine painted on

bility and renders the cuticle dry and

the subsequlient interp)s)ition of a piece
if cotton wool between the toes, may
b)e considered as a cure for soft coris ;
ind in these cases the skin may be
liardencd by sponging with spirits of
Lamphor after the washing. The cot

uid this is a good time for the use of
campliorated spirits.
PARTIAL SOLAR ECLIPLE,-M. Jamis
;en recently submitted to the French
Academy a conmumunlcation oi the par
Lial eclipse of the sun of July 19 last,
which lie observed at Marseilles. 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. Janssen shows that this dif
1lcutly has disappeared before thd new
[lethods of celestial Iphiotography. Par
tial cellipses enl now be stiludie to ad
vantaye both by spoctrum analysis and
piotograjpiy. 31. JanvaSe alst. shows
how pliotography cali be used. It is
known that phloographs will show the
granulations or rice murkitgs on tile
mun's surface. Where a large plioto
graph of I partial clipse is taken,
should extend to the very edge of the
noon, provided the latter is absolutely
without ani1 aitimiosphere, If the moon
haus an atloaspelcre these granitulations
will become irregular In shape, ald
tie extent of their changes in form
will be a erlterion of the denwity-of the

Fire by Compression of Air.--it Is
stated that the Biirmaans are acqutinted
with the mode of obtaining fire by the
comp81ression of air. Tlhey take a piece
of tongh wood three or fotur inches
long, iI whlich they bore a snall cylin
'ior of less length than the piece of
wt0.tl. A platoi having a Sinai I- cyl [ii
der at the lower enil Is then fitted to
the cylinder. 'l'o un'tke the piston w ork
air-tight in the cyliner, a little waxed
thretad is wound round the lower end.
The upi)er end terin lats, for convenl
ence, In a knob. When fire i8 wated,
a 10lece of cotton wool or touchlwoilod is
placedl in the hollow end of the piston,
which Is then inserteul in the cylluter
and drivel, home by a alnart. blow of
the hald. Oh the piston being with
drawn, the wool or touch wood Is f'ound
to be alight.
