•Co-operative Fanning In Kngland—Int«rutlnf Scientific Facta—TUe Little Mo» banker a Fish Bone of Contention.

Every Creature la His Enemy.

A red hot dispute is going on between the ~«hore fishermen and the steamer fishermen •engaged in the menhaden industry along the

New York and New England coast. The menhaden is a llsh which is the chief dependence for manure on Long Island and other ports of the north Atlantic coast.

Tbo common name of the menhaden is moesburiker. Daring the summer months it -comes near the coast in great shoals for the purpose of spawning. It is not much of a fish for eating, except early in the spring.

But for a fertilizer of the soil, ami for furnishing oil, the mossbunker is unexcelled. Everybody's hand is against it. Man makes fish -oil of it and commercial fertilizers out of what is left after the oil is pressed out. Other fish eat it by the million. It is a part of the -regular diet of the warlike and much prized •blue flxh.

VKXHAJJEX OB KOSSBL'XKKB.

In spite of enemies swarming above the "water and below it, tho prolific little fish is •caught by millions and millions every summer. It is a small fish of tho shad family, •brownish-green above, whites below and 'rainbow hues all over. It lias a black spot •upon its shoulder, if a fish cau be said to 'have a shoulder.

The roossbunker fisheries are changing in •character of recent years, and hence the trouble betwoen the shore farmers and the steamers. A powerful, snorting little steam 'tug takes in tow half a dozen or more great open, stupid scow*. It steams out along the coast anywhere from half a mile to five miles from land, anchors where there is a *hoal of mossbunkers and the fleet proceed to fish by wholesale. Tho "bunkers" are takon by tho hundred thousand in purse net* and tumbled into the boats. After several days, when all the scows are full, then tho fleet starts home, trailing an odor behind it which "smells to heaven." Factories 11113 built at 'interval* along tho coant. Hero tho ladon lxmtK nrc towed and their contents converted into oil and fertilizers, nnd here for a tolerably steady thing thero is smelling to heaven tho year around.' That is tho now fashioned way of mossbunkcr fishing. A relic of the ««ld'fashioned way is seen in tho illustration:

MGNUADRK NET.

A few years ago the fanner* along strip \if eoaxt clublwd together to provide boats ond ti long fishing seine. A constant lookout was kept from an elevated place. A school of menhaden may always Us detected out at cu bv tho smooth, shining streak of water alH»ve them and In their wake. Other llsh kill and eat them

HO

constantly that, the oil

rises from their wounded and dying-bodies in quantity sufllciciit to be plainly visible, and maku the water smooth and shining. When tho school was discovered the fanners took to their boats, sho* out through the breakers, drew long nets around the fish and scooped them In literally by the million. A single haul of net sometimes brought a million.

When the first were brought in they ""ere loadinl into carts holding 1,000 apiece, and thnuled to tho fields and scattered broadcast mpon them. A menhaden in eight to fourteen Inches long, and one fish is considered equal 0 a shovelful of barnyard manure.

Tho stenm tugs with their tows have bix %cn up largely this profitable fishing, hem* the quarrel. Tho farmers are undertaking have the steamers required by law not to list within three miles of the shorn After a day's fishing In the old way tbo nets were stretched upon gigantic reels along the shore to dry. Tho reels made a picturesque object in the landscape. One of them is shown in the illustration,

Co-opcratire Farming In lOughutri. A successful attempt at co-oporntion in farming is reported in Knglnnd. A companj of city worklnginen, tradesmen and mcclwintcs in London, who were out of employment, united in an association which rented a run•down farm of IS4 acres near London. They jMiid a comparatively high rental for such land, thirty five shilling* per acre, but put 90 much labor on it that th» enterprise was a success. The land was enriched and devoted largely to market gardening and dairying, the latter increasing as the association secured capital to purviiasa cow Formerly only four men were employed on the farm. Now it gives constant employment to forty, with proportionate increase of profit. This possibly a suggestive experiment for unemployed workmen in sonio American cities. It is comparatively ea»y to secure land on favorable term*. The difficulty would bo that too many unemployed workingnwn would try to shirk tho severe or disagreeable labor inseparable from any farm ojieratkmx. .Still, if there is no shrinkage, these combined attempts at {arming arv more likely to bo successful than individual attempts often made by dtscour ttgwi men with mall capital. Cooperation Ibcljw to lessen the burden of lack or money wben each or the partners is willing to do hi•bar* of the work.—American Cultivator.

HEALTH ANO MANNERS.

Saw to Keep Yoamelt Well and How to Behave. Ladies whose feet have become misshapen from exceesively narrow boots can do much to remedy the difficulty by core and pains. Meet easy, roomy shoes, and stockings of soft fabric. Bathe the feet thoroughly in water comfortably warm, never allowing it to grow cold enough to feel chilly, and wipe them thoroughly dry with a soft towelcoarse crash is almost poison to sensitive skins, and often causes irritation and a small eruption like rash. Thai rub into them thoroughly about the joints or injured parts either cobleream. or what is bettor, glycerine, perfectly pore, and mixed with double the quantity of water. Especially should it be diligently applied to the joints of the great toes if they are enlarged or painful. Wipe off with a damp cloth and dry carefully, after which powder the feet thoroughly with rice flour powder. Brush off all that comes away easily and put cm the stocking, being careful that no semblance of a seam comes over the sensitive joints.

These cautions may seem trifles, but the feet are ill, and all conditions of recovery must be observed. Take care that they do not get very cold or in the least damp. The difficulty is an inflammation of the joint membranes and has had many serious results. At night tin feet may be wiped off with a damp cloth and the glycerine and powder repeated. Ladies who adopt this plan will never find soft corns coming between tho toes. For hard corns there is nothing better than a little judiciously applied canstic, which should touch the hardened part of the corn, never the surrounding flesh. Repeat every other day, first soaking the fd*t in warm water and gently scraping tho surface of tho corn until it will finally come out altogether. Great care must be taken to keep the caustic from the whole Pesli, and the foot Bhould never be damp, as the application will spread rapidly. Such a course of treatment, patiently folowed, has in several, cases restored to quite passable shape and comfort feet that were considered as hopelessly deformed.—Demoresfs Monthly.

Silk Underclothing.

There is a widely prevalent idea that «ilk is the best substance from which to make underclothing, and I have known many poor girls to stint themselves in the necessaries of life in order to save enough money to purchase silk undergarments. But silk is not the best material with which to make underclothes, so far as concerns their health preserving qualities, whatever may be its advantages so far as beauty and immediate comfort nre concerned. Tho chief object of underclothing is the retention of the natural heat of the body in such away that low temperatures and sudden changes will not effect tho surface. Several years ago I performed (come experiments which went to show beyoud a doubt that silk is below wool in its power to prevent tho loss of heat from the body and very little superior to cotton. Indeed, nothing is in this respect preferable to wool, and of this material all underclothing meant for winter use should be mode.1 In summer a mixture of wool nnd cotton called merino may be worn, but even in very hot weather silk is not desirable, for it is not such a ready absorber of the perspiration as is wool, and hence allows tho lody to l» kept in a state not very remote from that known as parboiled. Wool, however, taking up as it does the moisture from tho body, exposes it to the action of the ntmosphere, it is evaporated, and the process being a cooling one, koeps the skin froin becoming overheated.

Sign* of the Tongue.

The tongue is tho indicator of the system. A white coated tonguo indicates febrile disturbance a brown, moist tongue indicates disordered digestion or overloaded passages a brown, dry tonguo indicates depressed vitality, as in typhoid conditions nnd blood poisoning a red, moist tonguo indicates debility, as from exhausting discharges a red, dry tongue indicates pyrexia, or any inflammatory fever a Strawberry" tongue, with prominent papilla', indicates scarlet fever, or rothciu a red, glazed tongue indicates debility, with want of assimilative power of digestion a tremulous, flabby tonguo indicates delirium tremens hesitancy in protruding the tongue indicates concussion «f tho iuwin protrusion at one side indicates paralysis of the muscles on that bide.—Hall's Journal of Health.

Tin- First Utile of Politeness. The truest noblest rule of ixriiteness was given nearly years ago by the grandest gentleman that ever lived. It was simply this: Whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do yc even so to them. The person who does that will never liavo any trouble in Ining polite. Real courtesy is founded alone on a feeling of kindliness and gvxl will to one's fellow man. "In honor preferring one another," says the same inspired manual of jioliteness that contains the royal rule. To keep one's eyes open habitually to the comforts of others, giving way to them in small things, watching one's opportunity to do little and great acts of kindness, in our homes, to our relatives, friends, neighlxirs, and to the poorest and humblest, this it is to bo truly polite. One who has lived in the backwoods all his or her life, and who observes these things cannot go far out of the way in any company.

There ore fashions of social etiquette which change from time to lime. These can be learned from books, from watching closely what others do who aro accustomed to what is considered "best society."

A Question of Etiquette.

Susan asks—If a lady is chatting with a gentleman at. an evening party, ami she is joined by another gentleman, whom she prefers to chat with, how can she signify it to the one already with her. without giving just offence!

The etiquette is for the gentleman with tho lady when the otlier joins them, to give way to the new comer. But if the two men seem inclined to leave it to the lady to decide she may make slight inclination of the head to the one she prefers to leave, as if to say good evening, taking the other's arm and stalking off at the «uno time. All such things, however, aro so dependent upon Uic circumstances relationship of the parties, etc., that it is difficult to give a rule to cover any case. /$

Charles Dudley Warner rightfully insists that women shall call themselves by their own names, instead of their husbands'. For Instance if Mary Green marries Richard Roe, she is not properly Mrs. Richard Roe, but Mary Green Roe. The correct way would bo to give a girl atbaptfsm only one name besides that of her family, as simply Mary Grwn. When she marries she has only to add the name of her husband—Mary Green Roe. That Is the correct thing in women's

DIRECTIONS FOR TEACHING A HORSE TO ARCH HIS NECK.

Ten little Toes A Mean Thing to Do. How to Give a Horse a Soft Mouth. Patroclus "—The Cronpade—«A Itre-

Mlle Gate. A writer in Harperfe Young People fcss been giving some clever lessons in horseback ridiag. In a late one be tells the boys how to "form" a horse's mouth so that it will always respond lightly and easily to the rider's touch. A girl can do it just as well as a boy. A horse, he says, .should never be hardmouthed. It is a vicious habit." But be bids the young people remember, at the same time, that "unless your seat is so firm that your hands are light yon can never give* horse a soft month."

The writer takes an imaginary horse called "Don" and begins his directions by saying: Suppose now you stand at Don's near shoulder, and fairing hold of the curb reins at the withers, givo a steady, gentle pull. Don may attempt to back, but you must check f-hfo inclination with the voice. The pressure of the curb chain will soon make him bring down his head, open his mouth, and arch his neck. As soon as he does this, pat and caress him, and in a second or two release the rein and let him liavo his head a moment to rest. Try the same thing again and again, very gradually keeping the neck arched a bit longer each time, but never so long as to tempt him to resist, which he will do by pulling on the bit, or throwing up his head, or backing.

"PATROCLUS."

So long as he champs the bit and seems comfortable, keep on at this drill for, say, about half an hour a day. In a week or two you will find that Don will arch his neck at the slightest indication of the bit, and keep it arched for along time without fatigue. When he does this easily, try the same thing for a few days mounted and standing. And later still go through the exercise for a week or two while Don is walking. Never try to force his mouth coax him with hand and voice, and never keep him at it so long as to tire him so that he will hang on the curb, for this will surely spoil his mouth.

After some weeks you will find that Don will keep his neck arched, his mouth open, and a light hold of tho bits at any gait. This is what we call "in hand." At first you had better alternate between keeping him "in hand" and letting him carry bis head his own way, so as not to weary him too much. And if your hands are light, and you do not jerk or worry him, you will bo surprised to see what a soft mouth Don is acquiring. The same thing can now be accomplished with the snafflo-bit, but in lieu of a steady pull you may have to givo littlo gentle jerks on the rpin till Don opens his mouth and arches his neck.

TI1K CnOtrPADE.

Tho first picture shows Patroclus, the writer's favorite old saddle horse, "ambling along at a' five-mile ^nit." A good fastwalk is the best gait for a long ride. In the picture you see the proper position of both horse and rider.

In the second illustration a horse is leing put through a fancy step called "the croupade," a sort of horse jo!ka, perhaps. In the croupade the intelligent animal gives a spring, at the same time drawing his feet up in tbo manner shown. A horse, in his way, has as much sense as a man, nnd can be taught many wonderful things. Talk to your horses as vou would to people, and in a little while, with practice, they will understand you well. Always be kind and patient with them, and you will be astonished to find how much they know.

One thing more. Don't cut off a horso's fine flowing tail in the hideous style shown in the picture. It is an English fashion, as cruel as it is ugly. Nothing is more nn pleasant to look at than that horrible stump sticking out there.

A Mean Tiling to Do.

About the meanest thing that boys and girls can do is to make fun of their sisters when they hnvo company. I don't want to see any of such work done. When 1 see boys c:i girls going about the house damming doors, shouting and saying things that will make sister feel uncomfortable I seem to lose my eyesight and see nothing bat a lot of young bears who wo doing their best to worry ami plague those who love them. I like a brute bear far better than 1 like a banian bear. The brote knows no better than to be selfish and cruel. It pays to be ladylike and gentlemanly. We can't possibly begin too early in life to make ladies and gentlemen ont of ourselves.—Uncle Mark.

QUESTION ANO ANSWERS.

A Column In Which Ton May Lesrs Many Things. *. What is tbe pay .of the different grade of generals of the United States army J—CORPORAL*

Lieutenant general, $11,000 major general, $7,500 brigadier General, $5,500.

Gen. Pellssier.

Can yon tell me if Gen. Pelissier, one of the nation's present gnesta, is the same who stormed the Malakoff in the Crimean war and wns made Duke of Malakoff?—A. DK

No. The present Gen. Pelissier is the son of the first Pelissier.

Antiqnity of Man.

"What are the facts as arrived at by scientists as to man's first appearance on. the earth?—.R H.

There is no satisfactory evidence of man imbedded in stratified rock, as in the ease of fossilized animals. The bones of human beings have been found in caves along with the bones of extinct animals. These are, perhaps, the best evidences of man's antiquity but, as scientists differ from 10,000 to 200,000 years in the matter, man's first appearance on earth may be put down as unknown.

Why Is the Sky Blue?

What makes the sky look blue!—IGNORAMUS. Polarization of light. If the reader wishes to know what polarization is he must make a study of a scientific phenomenon which very few scientific writers or lecturers have succeeded in making clear.

Is the Time the Same

It is said that a cannon ball shot from the mouth of a gun pbinted horizontally will strike the earth at the same time as a ball dropped from the mouth of the gun to a point directly beneath it. Is this true! If so, please explain why.—POWDER MONKEY.

Yes. The moving ball is dropping while it moves from the gun with the samo velocity as if it moved only in one direction. Its curve motion from the time it leaves the gun till it strikes the ground does not affect its perpendicular motion.

Bartholdi'a Origin.

Is Bartholdi, who designed the Goddess of Liberty, of Italian or French origin!—B. A. Auguste Bartholdi comes of on Alsatian family.

Gen. Robert E. Lee.

Can you inform me what year the Confederate general Robert EL Lee graduated at West Point, and whether he stood first in his class! His age at graduation.—DIXIE.

Gen. Robert E. Lee was graduated at West Point July 1,1829. He stood second in a class of forty-six members. His age at graduation was 23 years and 4 months.

The Brooklyn Bridge.

Will you please give the distance between the piers of the bridge between New York and Brooklyn, or the length of span?—A. G. O.

The length of the riyer span is 1,505 feet 6 inches. Tbe clear height of the bridge at the center of the spaii is 135 feet above high water, the total height of towers 277 feet length, 5,980 feet width 85 feet

Where Lies the Duty

I am an only daughter. A gentleman of good character and against whom my parents malm no objection, wishes me to be his wife. Ho lives in a distant city, and my mother objects to my marrying him simply on the ground that she does not wish me to be separated from her. Is my duty to her or the one who wishes me to be his wife?—S.

There is no moral obligation—as you state the case—for you to remain with your mother.

1 City or Country. Is it better for a young man to go to the c-4v or to remain in the country?—A. C. F.

He should consult his natural tastes. The prizes in city lifo are usually regarded more dazzling than those to be secured in the country. But the larger the prize the more difficult it is of attainment. It is not so much the field as tho patience aud industry with which one labors.

What Is Protoplasm?

Protoplasm is a substance, revealed by the microscope, which is supposed to be the basis of life in both animal and vegetable kingdoms.

Cleopatra's Needle.

Is it true that Cleopatra's Needle, the obelisk in Central park, after standing some 1,800 years in Egypt is giving way under the climnto of New York?

It is disputed. The monolith was found not long since to be scaling off on one side. A preparation of paraffine was put on it, and the scales were removed for this purpose. It is claimed that these scales are tho result of fire burning against it many centuries ago.

Order of the Cincinnati.

What is the order of the Cincinnati? For what purpose was it organized and whence wmoits name? Does it exist now?—MoxMOUTH.

The order of the Society of the Cincinnati was organized by surviving American officers of the revolutionary war to commemorate the services of all officers of the army and navy during that struggle. It was made hereditary though, according to the English law of primogeniture, and is now composed of the descendants of revolutionary officers who have inherited memberships.

It takes its name from Cincinnatus, the Roman general who returned to agricultural pursuits when peace came.

Glrard and the Ministers.

Can you inform me whether there is any truth in the oft-repeated statement that no minister is permitted v. ithin the premises of Girard college at Philadelphia?

By the terms of the will by which Girard rollego received its bequest, no minister or ecclesiastic of any sect or church is allowed to visit tbo premises on any pretext or to have any connection with tbe college.

THE MAN WITH A HOBBY.

Why the Professional Reformer Is Apt to be a Disagreeable Person. "Why is it that all professional reformers make themselves personally and socially disagreeable and repulsive?" asked the good deacon of a west side church, as he and I were strolling down Madison street this morning. Wo had just passed a vinegarvisaged individual whoso business was that ofaredhot reformer. "It is a conundrum you are asking," I replied "I give it up. But is it a fact that all professional reformers are disagreeable and repulsive, personally and socially!" "Yes, it is a fact," said the deacon, who is an Amiable and philanthropic gentleman and a popular and successful man of business withal "and I have long been trying to explain it. A reformer is presumably actuated by a good motive—a desire to make people better by mitigating or abolishing the vices or burdens or evil influences by which they are either demoralized or oppressed. This good motive, one would think, should have a tendency to make him good uatured and kindly. But I have noted many of the class carefully, and have found that tho man with a hobby is invariably an ill natured and ill mannered person. I don't understand it, don't pretend to be able to explain it, and when I asked you the question did so for information."

A well known lawyer residing on tbo West side joined us in our walk near the bridge, and I submitted to him the deacon's problem. "I, too," remarked the lawyer, "have noted the fact referred to, and my explanation is Hint, the same cause that originally makes men or women professional reformers operates to make them more and more disagreeable to the generality of people as they grow older and become more devoted to their special hobbies." "What is that cause?" asked the deacon. "It is simply tho fact that they make the mistake of believing themselves far better and wiser than all other people, and treat other peoplo accordingly," answered the lawyer, who, as a finality to tho conversation, asked: "Did you ever know a self-conceited fool to be either agreeablo or popular anywhere, even in bis own homo and family?" Neither tho deacon nor I could make an affirmative answer, and we agreed that the lawyer had a case.—-Cor. Chicago Journal.

"vii Why Mrs. Langtry is I-lked. The only British celebrity who doesn't offend society nor toady to it is Mrs. Langtry. She combines in herself the most gracious independence with the most discreet silence. Mrs. Langtry herself is not what you can call a vivacious or brilliant woman. But for all that she has a social charm peculiarly her own. I never met a man who had been in her company half an hour who did not acknowledge her -charm without being unable clearly to account for it. She does not, like some professional women, throw herself at you, so to speak. She never gushes, and she doesn't do the mental clinging trick so effective with the "low lidded blondes of Britain."

I think her charin for men is her unaffected manner and her air of wholesome naturalness. Her demeanor, 110 less than her appearance, is unpainted. You never suspect her conversation or face of powder. She does not build up her sentences or her body. She doesn't overdress her language, or her person. This is so unliko an actress that it strikes deep. I had the opportunity to study her one morning at breakfast, and I summed her up as a very sensible, level headed, healthy woman, than which I cannot think of anything more charming.

A well known lady of society not long ago was listening to her praises in a group of gentlemen, and she interposed the remark: "But Mrs. Langtry lihs no art, you know."

Up went every man's band and voice, and a simultaneous chorus answered: "That's why we like her I"—John D'Arme
