Couldn’t Help It.

Anton Rubinstein, the Russian composer, in his autobiography tells of the confusion which overcame a certafr architect of his acquaintance, who had s habit of interlarding all his remarks with the phrase, “You understand. ” Oe one occasion he was explaining certain architectural matters to the Emperor, and, according to custom, made free use of his favorite expression. “Good heavens!" exclaimed Emperor Nicholas at last, irritably, “of course 1 understand. My dear fellow, how could I help it?"

Thxbe Is more Catarrh in thlß section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a '-ocal disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it Incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from ten drops to a teaspoonful. It acts directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer oue hundred dollars for aDy case it fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Ad. dress, F. J.

A f lew man can be made, out of one that’s “ used-up,” bilious and dyspeptic. It’s done by Dr. Picrce-’s Golden Medical Discovery. It starts the torpid liver into healthful action, purifies and enriches the blood, cleanses, repairs, and strengthens the system, and restores health and vigor. As an appetizing, restorative tonic, it sets at wore all tho processes of digestion and nutrition, and builds up flesh and strength. It’s the only Blood and Liver Remedy that’s guaranteed , in every case, to benefit or cure. If it doesn’t do all that’s claimed for it, the money is promptly refunded. But it keeps its promises that’s the reason it can be sold in this •way. “Discovery” strengthens Weak Lungs, and cures Spitting of Blood, Shortness of Breath, Bronchitis, Severe Coughs, and kindred affections. Don’t bo fooled into taking something else, said to be “just as good,” that the dealer may make a larger profit. There’s nothing at all like tho “ Discovery.”

RUSSIA. In Russia for a woman to lose her hair is a sign of disgrace, and yet the pressure of the famine is so great that many of the women are now cropping their hair and selling it, in order to obtain a few roubles with which to sustain life. Iu the meantime the famine is now accompanied by typhus fever, as is common in famine districts. This fever is contagious, and is slowly spreading. It is said that the reason for the famine is that the taxes were so heavy that the peasants were obliged to sell their seed corn, so that they had nothing to plant, and that the rascality of the Russian officials is the real reason for the trouble. A depleted condition of the system not only invites fever, but pulmonary complaints as well.

last census shows that the cities have increased their population at a faster rate dur,'vVA ing the last deJ . y cade than during I any former. The urban population { ais fast gaining on •—the rural, and w may soon equal yy it. There seems to have been a WL£. strong drift of the population away from the

farms to tha cities. It has been claimed that improved agricultural machinery has driven laborers from the farm to the city. But such is not the case. The scarcity of farm labor has largely increased the sale and use of improved farm implements. On this account many farmers were obliged to purchase labor-saving implements long before they would have done so, if the number ot farm laborers had been equal to the demand. The drift from farm to town has greatly stimulated the manufacture of agricultural machinery.—Farm and Fireside.

Hoof ml llarn-Yards. It is in my opinion a successful way of making manure to make it in a covered yard; good manure can be made without question.by heaping in open space and forking over occasionally, but with less care a better product is likely to be the average result when made under cover, whether enough better to pay the cost of the shelter is perhaps an open question; if the shelter were only for the manure, the balance might he struck against it; and if no coarse stuff goes into the manure pile (it is singular advice of one writer that it should not) the balance would certainly he against it. But the cattle may enjoy this Bhelter and profit by it, since it gives to them a large freedom to move about without exposure to storms or cold; and with the aid of their tramping a very considerable addition may be made to the value of the manure of the yard by working into the excrements the straw or other coarse stuff whioh, under conditions that may often prevail, cannot he profitably fed; there must, of course, he so much of such material that the animals will not be injured by too much wetness under foot. This coarse stuff put directly on the land is wmrth very little for fertilizing; when more or less decomposed in a well-aired mixture with animal excrements, it is worth much more.—New York Tribune.

A Handy Toot Tray. It often happens, says a writer in the Practical Farmer, that repairs are to he made to a binder, mower or other implements, something around stables, barn, fences or gates, things that cannot conveniently, if at all, he

also materials, nails, screws, bolts, washers, rivets, wire, or whatever is needed to make repairs, from the work-shop. To carry them loose by hand, necessitates perhaps, the going or returning several times, risk of losing some of them with having no place to put them when making repairs, and neglect in returning them, when in a hurry, to the shop, when one trip will not answer. Even if in a hurry, with having a tray, all can be put in, set in some safe place where they can be taken home at quitting time, and even if you had to drive you could carry tray with one hand. The writer has a tray of which the accompanying cut shows pattern. Any one can easily make one. Prosure a bottom 24x18 inches, better if in one piece, nail a rim around it, 3 inches wide; divide by putting a partition lengthwise making it 6 inches wide at center, tapering level with rim; cut a hole for hand to carry by. You may put a cross partition on one side for small bolts, nails and screws. Make out of planed, lumber and you will have a handy, little, economical, labor-saving device for the farm.

LIVE STOCK.

Blethod In Home-Breeding. The importance of method of horsebreeding is so little understood by most farmers that it is no* to be wondered at that in many sections of our country “scrubs” are numerous and complaints many that horse-breeding does not pay. With a population that is increasing, both in city and country, the demand for horses is sure to increase in like proportion. All kinds of horses always have been, and all kinds always will be raised, consequently there will always be a wide range in prices. Those who breed for an object and attend well to the details, will find horse-breeding a source pf profit as long as horses are wanted. It is not possible for all to own nrst-class mares, but this should not deter them from using the very best stallion obtainable, and thus take the first step toward improvement. The Introduction of imported sires, and the popularity they have won whereever introduced, is termed by many a “craze” that would soon die out if let alone. They have let it aloDe, but it does not die out, for the reason that in all the countries from which these horses are brought, method is used in breeding. A horse is no better from the mere fact of his having been imported, but years of breeding in a direct line, and from sires whose purity of breeding can be traced back for generations, is of incalculable value in a sire, especially one that is to be used in a locality where the mares are of mixed or no particular breeding, because he has received «nany infusions of blood from one and

the same source, every one of which adds to his ability to transmit this same blood to his progeny. For this reason a sire should be chosen, but not because of some one point in which he excels, but because he averages best in all points, for prepotency and the laws that govern it may be applied both ways, and any defect in the sire is very liable to be transmitted to the foal.

In this particular locality the Percherons have done much toward giving us better and more sizable horses. More recently the French coachers have been introduced, and have become very popular. Heavy horses are in demand in all large cities, where heavy loads must necessarily be moved through the crowded streets slowly; so, from motives of economy, heavy loads must he drawn, and heavy horses used to draw them.

The custom prevails in some localities where a pure-bred stallion has been kept for several years, for farmers to keep some of their grades as stallions, and by offering their services at low figures, they sometimes succeed in getting considerable custom. This practice should not he encouraged where the services of a purebred horse arc obtainable; for, although a well-bred grade stallion may, and occasionally does, get very good . colts, the mixed breeding in both sire and dam renders the result very uncertain, and you are breeding without method, which in the end is almost certain to prove unsatisfactory.—F. H., in Country Gentleman.

A Hog Water. This is the plan of a home-made hog water which costs little or nothing, says Farm and Home. It is to run the water from a tank or artesian

about 5 inches. Put in an elbow and a piece of pipe 0 inches long, B. Take a piece of 2x4, C, 8 inches long and bore 21 inch holes 2J inches apart, In one insert a piece of 2x2, D, 5 Inches long. In the top of this make a slot 1J inches long and 4 inch wide. Next take a stick 16 inches long, E, A inch thick and 1 inch wide. Bore two holes in this, one in the end and the other 2| inches back. Put this in the slot in the 2x2 piece. Bore a hole through this and put a pin through them both, leaving the short end next to the other hole in the 2x4. Drive the 2x4 on the pipe and then take a piece 2x2 and make a slot 2) inches deep. Bore a hole in the slot and put a pin through it and the hole in the end of the lever. Fasten a round piece of rubber, F, on the block, 2 inches in diameter, to fit over the top of the pipe. Fix the other lever to the barrel as shown in the cut and fasten the two together with a good leather string, G. The float is a large board. When the hogs drink the water down the lever falls and the water runs in. This raises the float and the lever shuts off the water. The top of the barrel is covered with boards and the holes made just large enough for the hogs to get thoir noses in.

Comfort at Fan I lire. Many dairymen with big herds which they have to drive to distant pastures would do well to follow the example of a successful New York farmor. Realizing the force expended by a dairy herd traveling to and from the pasture nearly a mile (hekeeps fifty cows,) a stout board shed has been erected at the home end of the lot, large enough to shelter the entire herd and make a tight room for the spring house. Here also stools, bran, etc., are kept. When milking time arrives, the milkers drive to the pasture with pails and cans. The cows, Deing messed "regularly, are at the shed, the stanchions are opened and no time is lost. Each cow quietly takes her place and no dog

is required. The night’s milk is left in cans to be carried to the factory with that drawn next morning. The milkers are always housed if it rains, and during the heat of the day the cows find the shelter of the shed a grateful one, the stanchions being locked. The overflow from the spring finds its way into a trough on the north side of the shed aivay from the sun where the cows help themselves. There is no platform nor floor to the shed. Manure that accumulates is scraped up and spread on the pasture. No time is lost bringing up and turning away the cows, no manure is wasted, and the cows lead lives of unbroken quiet, paying their owner handsomely. Another thing seldom considered: The noise, bustle and stir about the home which milking time always causes, where such a large herd is brought up morning and evening, are entirely obviated, and the invasion of flies is unheard of.— Farm and Home.

A great many farmers are asking questions of themselves, their neighbors, and agricultural journals, concerning food for cows and how to feed it. One point in the economy of feeding many overlook. That is, the value or effect of breed, and individual fitness of the animal, on the feed. This can be made very apparent in the case of horses. A trotter having the trot bred into him will take a moderate feed of oats and trot his mile in 2:20. Another horse bred for draft purpose could not trot a mile in that time if he was fed ten tons of oats. So it is with cows. One cow takes her feed and turns it into milk and butter, and 6he will eat a heavy ration each day, and still keep in that channel. She has a constitutional fitness for the performance of

The Effect of Breed on Feed.

dairy work; and so feed stimulates her powers m that direction. Another cow having a beef tendency in her blood will do dairy work up to a certain extent, when she turns the food into flesh and fat on her own ribs. Therefore, in the study of economy of feeding, it is highly essential to have the right kind of a eow to put the feed into.—Hoard’s Dairyman.

THE HOUSEHOLD.

All Around the House. A very effective pillow case can be made with strips of line linen joined with embroidery i nsertion an inch to an inch and a half wide, the breadth of the linen strips to vary according to taste. This can be trimmed either with a frill of linen or lace. The pillow itself should he covered with plain colored sateen, to show through the insertion. A spare bed is usually stripped when not in use, the sheets being aired and put on as the bed is required, the blankets neatly folded and laid on the mattress, butacolored chintz counterpane, with a frill of its own or coarse Torchon lace trimming, has a very good effect and makes a room look cheerful. For half window curtains there is nothing more attractive than a soft, muslin with a frill of the same passed on the rod, made rather full and allowed to hang straight down, pushing them back or drawing them together, as desired. Two pretty ways of arranging short muslin curtains are as follows: Divide the muslin (plain or figured) into three pieces, and edge the center one with a small frill down each side,'tho others with a frill only on the inside. Hem them at the top, and pass the brass or ribbon band through them; tie the center pieces together in the middle with ribbon and how; loop hack the sides also with ribbons and bows. The bottom of the blinds may be cither left loose (hemmed and frilled) or passed through another brass or ribbon band; or, hem the muslin at the top and frill it each side; run the rod or band through the hem. Then gather the bottom into a band of the muslin about one inch deep and six long, and fasten (fan shape) with tiny tacks or drawing pins onto the center of the window frame.

Old Thing's Woith Saving. An old shade hat, if the straw he good, may be twisted, turned up at tho side or behind, and retrimmed, and come out as good as new. It is poor economy to throw awav any artificial flowers, unless very shabby, and old ribbons are always coming into play. Old gloves have many uses. Large sizes may he worn in dusting, or in garden work. The undressed kid may serve many useful purposes; the long wrists sewed up into bags make excellent cases for silver forks, spoons, and jewelry; the shorter pieces may be cut into pretty shapes and fastened together for penwipers, or small decorated bags. Of course no good housekeeper throws away old soft handkerchiefs, napkins, or towels, but puts them carefully into the drawer where she has old sheets and pillow'cases saved for a time when there is sickness in the liousb.

THE KITCHEN.

Salt Rifting Bread. Early in the morning, say as early as 5 o’clock, take a vessel of about a quart size and fill it one-third full of water, milk-warm, adding three tablespoonsful of new milk, and salt and sugar each as much as you can hold between the thumb and forefinger, then stir in as much flour as will make a thick batter. Set in a kettle of warm water if the weather is cool, and keep at an even temperature till fermentation takes place, which will be in four or five hours; then take as much flour as will make two large loaves, and a teaspoonful of salt added. Scald about one-third of the flour in water, a little below the boiling point; this makes the bread sweet and moist, the two main qualities in good bread; then add enough milk and water to make this paste sufficiently cool, so as not to scald the rising, which will bear a pretty high temperature; then mix in your rising and knead quick and thoroughly. Lay your loaves in good baking pans, set in a warm place, cover with a clean cloth, and lay on top of that a light pillow to keep the warmth from escaping. Your bread will be ready for the oven in about halfan ho.ur. Bake till it is alight brown color and it is thoroughly done. Old-Fashioned Pumpkin Fie, If pumpkin is peeled, cut up and stewed rapidly, it makes coarse pies which have very little of the native sweetness of the vegetable. If it is cooked in a very small amount of water, in a thick, porcelain-lined kettle, where it will gradually steam for six or eight hours, it requires a richness and sweetness that can’t be obtained by any other process of cooking it. A half pumpkin will not require more than a pint of water, and by the time it is thoroughly cooked by this method, all the water will have been absorbed. The old-fashioned rule for pumpkin pie is about two cups of pumpkin to five of milk, or four of milk and one of cream, four or five eggs, sweetening and spices to taste. Do not forget to add half a teaspoonful of salt to every quart of milk used in the pies.

It Knew the Pin Trick.

A lady who had lost a canary happened to be attracted by a bird that was hopping about in its cage in the front window of a house in New York. Thinking that it looked very like her own, she knocked at the house door and asked a few questions about it. She was told that it had been found one cold morning sitting on the win-dow-sill, and taken in and cared for. The lady then said her bird could perform the pretty feat of picking up a pin and sticking it in the carpet. Being allowed to test this bird, the cage was opened and a pin thrown on the floor. The canary at once flew down to it, picked it up in its bill, and cleverly stuck it upright in the carpet; after which it burst into song, as if rejoicing at its success. The folk of the house, believing that the lady had proved her ownership of the bird, permitted her to take the songster away to her own home.

Mr. Beecher Was Surprised.

Rev. Ilen y Ward Reecher’s lovo for children was well known; he always listened to their prattlo with Interest, and they talked to him with fearlo-s frankness on all subje ts. Ho was sometimes rathor start ed by thoir remarks. He used t > toll the following story with great enjoyment: Ono Sunday, as ho was returning from church, he was overtaken by ono of his par.shloners who held his little daughter by the hand. In his sermon that day ho had earnestly exhorted o\ery ono to practice human kindness. The little girl, evidently anxious that her fathor shou d b • r 'bukof, volunteered the Information (hat papa had scbldod Mary that morning. “And who Is Mary?” inquired Mr. Beecher. “Why, Mary Is our cook,” replied tho little gosslpor. “Well, well, that 19 too bad. But I liopo pa doosn’t scold mamma,” said Mr. Beecher, with a twinkle in his eye as lie glanced at his old friend. “Well, I guoss not,” said the small damsel. “My mamma Isn’t ft servant—none of my parents ain’t servants.

Alien Slang Words.

Many slang forms are corruptions or modifications of fo.olgn words wrested from their original meaning. Thus “cahoot,” a Western term meaning to be in company or alliance with, Is from the French cohort, while tho bacchanalian “spreo" Is esprit twisted around and Anglicize!, or rather Aniorlcanlzed. From the Spanish wo get “savvy" from sabo, to know; “vamooso, ” from vamos, to go, and “cavort," from eavor, to caper. The German gives us “loafer," from laufer, an Idle fellow, and “bower,” the term used In sorao card games, from bailor, a card-player. Tho Dutch and Holland language contributes “boozy,” from biilzen, drunk; “logy,” from log. dull; "boss,” from bass, a master, and “landlubber,” from landlooper, a vagabond Rochester Post-Express.
