About Chinese Women.
Irs. 8. L. Baldwin, the missionary to
China, lectured in Philadelphia recently.
Of the women in China she said :
" The women of China are divided into
two classes the bound-footed, who are
the ladies, and the large-footed, who are
the common class. The latter cany the
burdens, do all the drudging and out door
work, while their husbands do noth
ing. When a little girl is born the pa
rents thiuk the gods are angry with them,
and they hold a consultation whether 6he
shall be allowed to live or not If she is,
when she arrives at the age of four years,
they hold another consultation whether
she shall be a bound-footed or a large
foo:ed woman. If she is chosen to be
bound-footed, she is not permitted to do
anything, but if otherwise she has to be
the family slave, I have seen a woman
with four children strapped to her back
and rowing a boat, while her husband laid
in the cabin smoking his pipe. Girls have
no choice of their husbands ; the young
girl is sold by her parents at the highest
price they can obtain for her. She never
sees her husband, nor he her, until after
they are married. If he chooses he can
be divorced from her for talking too much ;
if he becomes poor, or gets tired of her,
he sells her again. In the coldest weather
the large-footed women are not allowed to
wear stockings, and cannot dress in any
other colors than black or blue. The
manner in which they make their feet
small is by binding the four toes under the
foot, which they keep bound up for about
eleven years, when the foot becomes dead.
I have walked through the streets when
the women would brush against my dress
so as to see my feet, so they could tell to
what class 1 belonged. I would say to
them : ' I will show you ray feet, but do
not pull my clothes, as it is rude.' When I
would expose my feet to them they would
exclaim: 'Why, have you no real
ladies in America f And the only way
that I could make them believe tliat we
had was by telling themthat the women
read books like the men, which utterly as
tounded them, as the real Chinese lady is
brought up in the utmost ignorance, and
they only marry in the rich families, be
cause they know and do so little, and need
so much wailing upon that it takes a rich
husband to support them. If you ask a
Chinese woman how many children she
has, she will give you only the number of
Doys. erne nas to be asited tne second time
how many girls she has, as they are
thought so little of that in many cases they
are killed as soon as born. A large footed
woman told me once that her first child
was a little girl, and she described to me
how she loved the little one. My hus
band went out,' she said, ' and brought in
a tub of water. I begged him to spare its
life, but he took the little one and put its
head in the water, and held it there until
it was dead.' Her second babe was a
daughter, and it was served the same way
as the first ; the third child was a boy ; he
lived until he was about four years old,
then the gods got angry and killed him ;
'then my husband died; and now if I eat
anything that is nice and if I wear good
clothes, my relatives become angry and
treat me harshly.' Even in our Christian
churches in China, the women are not al
lowed in the same room with the men,
but are partitioned off in a lattice work
room." '
Baggage Smashing as a Fine Art.
Baggage smashing as a fine art has
reached a perfection in this country, and
the skill, ingenuity, and perseverance ex
hibited by railway porters and employes,
in reducing the strongest built trunk to a
hash of wood, leather and iron, must be
highly encouraging to the trunk makers,
New York and the West produce some
human bnmb-shells, wfio stand at the head
of the destructive brotherhood for the an
nihilation of baggage. A heavily timbered,
iron-clad, armor plated trunk will only
stand a two day's trip and the handling of
two or three of these railroad wreckers be
fore it is reduced to old junk. On a recent
trip we put our faith and our clothing in a
heavy sole leather valise, handsomely built ;
it ield together as far as Washington, and
. we began to believe that some great reform
movement or " revival " had taken place
among porters and railway men ; that some
railroad Father- Mathew, or hotel Elder
Koapp, had arisen, and that the debased
baggage smasher had signed a pledge to
abstain from destroying even so much as a
band-box, or had experienced a change of
heart, and with it more tender hands. It
was with a hopeful spirit, therefore, that
we unsuspectingly parted with our trusty
portmanteau at the dep t in Washington.
Alas! for the fallibility of human hopes;
that elegant piece of leather was delivered
to us in New York, at the end of the day's
journey, neatly manufactured into leather
snoe strings, a stout, leather-covered
flask of cologne had been well pulverized,
and the fragments of class judiciously dis
tributed in our linen, where it was calcu
lated to excite the most lively emotion.
A brrach of cigars had been converted into
snuff and fine cut; in fact, the remains of
everytning ot a perishable nature attested
the muscular energy and activity of the
American baggage-smasher.
As the traveling season is approaching.
we wouia suggest to any new railway
company, who wish to wit immortal fame,
and advertise themselves in the most
thorough manner, that they will guarantee
ine saie delivery ol baggage, except in case
of the usual railroad accidents for which
"nobody is to blame." Such a guarantee,
faithfully earned out, would largely in
crease the business of any railway, and
cause them to become known throughout
the civiized world as the benefactors of
manttind. Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Lead the Children not Into Temptation.
tatlon.
Cftldrejt are often made vicious, and
tempted into the commission of crimes
that would never ha we occurred to them
but for the severity of the home discipline.
It is indispensable that there should be a
proper government, and instruction in
moral principles ; but an excess of these is
frequently more injurious than an entire
absence of such training. If children are
surrounded by good examples, but few ver
bal moral lessons are necessary; example
is more powerful than precept. A i tern,
unbending discipline only renders the
heart callous, and incapable of receiving
good impressions. Many times, children
with dispositions that might have made
their characters pure and beautiful, have
been ruined forever by the harshness with
wuicu vueir liuie units were condemned,
and the opprobrium attached to them, for
the commission of very venial sins.
Oftentimes the slightest disobedience has
been. magnified into a crime, and followed
by such scathing censure as to wither and
crush out every good impulse from the
young heart. Children are extremely
sensitive in regard to their good name,
and are much more easily praised than
censured into good behavior. If their
self-respect be lost, all is lost, and childish
faults and punishments should never be
divulged, ihere is abundance of in
uuuiiauie testimony mat children are
tempted into prevarication and direct false
hood through fear of scandal, severe re
proof or punishment for disobedience,
when kindness and gentle admonitions
would not only have remedied the
present evil, but have prevented
iurure transgressions. parents and
teachers are too forgetful of the
equivocation and little mistakes of
their own childish days, knowing too, that
had they been met with scorn and con
tumely, their minds would have never re
covered their moral tone. Children are
frequently misunderstood, and accused of
falsehood, and ideas are thereby suggested
that, many times, they are not slow to act
upon. Nearly all children have a desire
to possess trifles that they admire, and are
often tempted to appropriate such things
without being in the least aware that they
ae committing a wrong, which if un
checked would result in great harm to
themselves and society. They are also
often tempted to steal by the penurious
ness and unwise caution of parents, in the
locking of drawers, and the secreting of
articles pleasing to childish natures. The
harsh name of thief for such misdemeanors,
and the odium attached to such a charac
ter, can only be productive of harm to a
child. It may possibly deter them from
the like offense again, but the wounding
of the feelings and the loss of self-respect
cannot be atoned for. We know a charm-
ing little girl, who when but seven years
of age, purloined a piece of broken jewel
ry, that was carelessly left in her way, and
disposed of it to a schoolmate. The
severe treatment and contemptuous epi
thets she endured from her guardians
would have been much more appropriate
for a hardened criminal than a child of h6r
tender years. Soon would she have been
ruined in body and mind had not fortui
tous circumstances removed her beyond
the influence of her cruel upbraiders.
She was reminded every day that she
had been guilty of a heinous crime so
unwittingly committtd and she felt that
everyone knew she was a thief, and "why
should she try to be good." Parents
would do well to remember their own
short-comings, and the mental anguish en
dured by themselves, when young, upon
receiving merited reproof ; and how much
more bitter the pain when undeserved. In
this way many children are led into temp
tation by those who should be ever watch-
lul ot tneir comfort and nappmess. jon
start censure and stem rebuke, often ad
mini.-, te red, are as prolific sources of crime
as extreme poverty end evil communica
tions, and many of the outcasts from so
ciety, degraded ones of both sexes, can
trace their final downfall to the harshness
with which their first transgression was
reo'oved.
Unfailing patience, kinduess and charity
should characterize the management and
care of the erring, and the little ones of
whom the Savior spoke so kindly "let
them come unto me. Prairie Farmer,
Carbolic Acid.
So much is said about carbolic acid, and
it is now so largely used in medicine and
the arts, that more information ought to be
popularly disseminated in reterence to it.
it is not a new thin', but most ot its ap
plications are of recent date ; and as nearly
every person who haj taken out a pateut
has given it a new name, we are otien per
plexed to recognise the precise article that
is meant. It may be well to Iook into uiis
labyrinth of names rxiore proceeding
a description of the article itself.
Carbolic acid was discovered by Runge
in wood in 1834, and was so called by
him. It is a pity that other chemists have
not adhered to the original name, as we
fihnnlri thns nve hppn saved much con
fusion. Six "ears after Runge's original
discovery, a TFrtnch chemist named Lau
rent made some of the pure acid, and pro
posed to calrtt PLenylhydrate, from the
Greek word meamng to illuminate, oe
cause it was' supposed to be a constituent
of illuminating gas ; and still later, such
names as phenylic acid, phenol, phenyl
alcohoL coal tar creosote, coal oil acid
phenylous acid, aad sundry others were
proposed. All of them ought to be drop
ped, and the original name of carbolic
acid retained. It is really and truly an
acid, capable of combining with bases to
form salts, but is not strong enough to
drive out many o.her acids from their
compounds.
Carbolic acid has been found ready
formed in the bile and urine of various
animals, and is the product of the dry dis
tillation of vegetable matter ; and can be
made by conducting the vapor of acetic
acid or aiconoi tnrougn a red not tuoe.
For technical purposes, it is almost exclu
sively made from coal tar, and as its boil
ing point is between 300" and 3G5" Fah,
it is from the dead oU that the greater por
tion is obtained.
The details cf the manufacture of car
bolic acid may be consulted in works on
chemistry, but its properties and uses may
well occupy our attention for a few para
graphs. When pure, it consists of long
needles or a peculiar, smoky odor and
caustic burning taste ; its specific gravity
is 1.060, and it fusss at about o t an.
absorbs moisture from the air, and runs to
water, and it requires twenty, times its
weight of water to dissolve it Alcohol
and ether dissolve it in all proportions,
and acetic acid is a better solvent than
water. Concentrated solutions act power
fully on the skin, turning it white and
afterwards red brewn, and the spots after
wards peel off. GeUuin and albumen are
precipitated by it, end this property has
suggested its use in tanning, it is a dan
gerous poison ; a few drops will kill a dog,
and plants are tt once destroyed by a weak
aqueous solution.
Range recommended carbolic acid for
embalming bodies, and as a disinfectant,
and tried many experiments to show its
value for this purpose ; bat little attention
was bestowed upon his assertions, and it
is only recently that the substance has ob
tained proper recognition from medical
and other authorities.
Extensive use is now made of carbolic
acid to destroy the odor of stables-; a car-
bolate of lime is prepared and sold for this
purpose. As an resect exterminator, lew
agents can be compared with carbolic
add, and it is naturally applied by physi
cians for such cutaneous diseases as are
caused by insect hie. Several cases of
death have b-.en reported in consequence
ot an incautious use lor this purpose.
Three women who bathed themselves with
a sponge with carbolic acid, to cure the
itch, were immediately attacked with diz
ziness, and soon became unconscious.
Two of them subsequently died, and the
lite ot tne other was saved with difficulty.
When used as a wash for men and the
lower animals, it must be taken very weak,
and in small quantities at a time. Dogs
nave been sadly tortured by it, in the vain
hope ol killing Leas.
The odor of carbolic acid is sometimes
disguised by mixiDg it with camphor,
when it is required to keep moths out of
1 urs and clo thin g. n o dou bt the preserva
tive property of coal tar is largely due to
tne presence ot this piwenul agent.
All manner of soaps, ointments, and
even troches, are made with carbolic acid,
which must be used with caution, as the
poisonous character of the acid suggests
at once that it ought not to be tampered
with. A new application of carbolic acid
is proposed nearly every week, and it has
become one of the most important of our
chemical products. Scientific American.
Haste and Health.
- It is not at ell wholesome to be in
hurry. Locomotives have been reported
to have been moved a mile in a minute for
short distances. But locomotives have
often come to grief by such great rapidi
ty. Multitudes in their haste to get rich
are ruined every year. The men who do
things maturely, slowly, deliberately, are
the men who o:tenest succeed in hie.
People who are habitually in a hurry gen
erally have to do things twice over. The
tortoise beat the hare at last. Slow men
seldom fcnoct tneir brains out against a
post. Foot-races aie injurious to health,
as are all forms of competitive exercises;
steady labor in tr.e Held is the best gymna
sium in the world. Either labor or exer
cise carried to exhaustion or prostration,
or even to great tiredness, expressed by
" fagged out," always does more harm than
the previous exercise has done good. All
running up-stairs, running to catch up
with a vehicle or cars, are extremely inju
rious to every age, and sex, and condition
of life. It ought to be the most pressing
necessity which should induce a person
over fifty to run twenty yards. Those live
longest who are deliberate, whose actions
are measured, who never embark in any
enterprise without " sleeping over it," and
who perform all the every day acts of life
with calmness. Quakers are a proverbial
ly calm, quiet people, and Quakers are a
thrifty folk, the world over. Dr. SdU.
Value of Husbands.
Wives sometimes do not value their
husbands as they ought. They not on
frequently learn the value of a good hus
band for the first time by the loss of him.
Yet the husband is the very roof-tree of
the house the corner-stone of the edifice
the key-stone called home. He is the
bread-winner of the family its defense
and its glory the beginning and ending
of the golden chain of life which surrouds
it its controller, law-giver, and its king.
Yet, we say, how frail is that life on which
so much depends. How frail is the life of
the husband and father ! When he is taken
away, who shall fill his place t When he
is sick, what eloemy clouds hover over
the house ? V.'ben hs is dead, what dark
ness, weeping, agony ! Then poverty,
like the murderous assassin, breaks in the
window starvation, like a famishing
wolf, howls et the door. Widowhood is
too often an associate of sackcloth and
ashes. Orphanhood too often means deso
lation and woe. 'Exchange. I
Effect of Treatment on Animals.
Besidis the effect of skill In selection,
good deal lies in the proper treatment of
animals. The best beasts may be spoiled
by bad management.
Docility and quietness of disposition,
which are points of so great importance,
depend greatly on how the animals are
used. A kind and gentle way of treating
them, if uniformly persevered in, has a
magical effect, and there is no doubt that
too little attention is paid to this matter.
Bake well's cattle were noted for their gen
tleness, and this was owing to the uniform
kindness with which he caused them to be
treated. And here there must be selection
also, for temper runs in the blood like
other things. . Animals of a wild and
vicious disposition should not be kept for
breeding, however excellent they may
otherwise be, for there is every chance the
fault will be inherited, and every one
knows what a pest even one wild beast is
in a herd.
The animal nature responds wonder
fully to kind treatment. Every one has
heard of the Arabs and their horses how
these children of the desert excel us in
their usage of these fine creatures, and
how generously the noble steeds answer to
the call of their masters, without the rough
appeal to whip and spur which is too com
mon with us.
Sir Charles Knightley, well known as
a breeder of Short Horns, was still more
celebrated as a brilliant horseman. Ue
had a fimous hunter called Benvolio, the
best he ever rode ; but in the hands of an
other man this horse would, in all proba
bility, have turned out a useless and
vicious brute. The first trial of him
seemed only to show that his most dis
tinguishing characteristic was an ntter
aversion to all sorts of jumping exercise.
Sir Charles took him out alone one
morning, and endeavored to bring him to
reason, but in vain. Stock-still be stood,
and no power on earth could induce him
to take a fence. 11 is rider came home to
luncheon somewhat discouraged but not
disgusted cast down, but not in despair
Afier a glass of Madeira, he brought him
out again, still patient, good-tempered and
persevering. The animal that would have
resisted coercion to death was at length
subdued by kindness, and from that cay
Benvolio became the finest hunter in En
gland. The marvelous feats he performed
with the Baronet on his back are yet re
lated with wonder and admiration. One
spot is pointed out that still goes by the
name of " Knightley's Leap," which de
generate horsemen of modern tunes gaze
at with dismay, declaring that, even on a
second Benvolio, no consideration would
induce them to ride at it. Here then is a
fine instance of what can be done by a
gentle and masterly hand.
Again, there is no doubt that treatment
is of much importance in developing tbe
size and expansibility of the animal frame.
Good shelter, and plenty of food, given
regularly, without intervals of starvation,
have evidently the effect of increasing the
size and early development ot cattle, and
the best breeds can be stunted and spoiled
in course of time by an opposite system of
hunger and exposure. froj. jaimeson.
Sun-Force and Brain Health.
Every intelligent person understands
the effect of cutting off the supply of sun
light from a plant, but very few are aware
how important sun-force is to the subtle
mechanism of brain and nerve, and how
terribly mischievous is the result of a life
too exclusively confined to houses, shops
and stores.
Recent science has brought to light
series of intensely interesting and extreme
ly significant facts in regard to the action
of the brain, and the invariable connec
tion of this action with the working of
mind, and has also shown that brain action
is largely determined by the influences, di
rect and indirect, of sun-force. Professor
Tyndall has lately expressed the extreme
view of this when he savs that the advo
cates cf natural evolution, or many of
them, " would probably assent to tbe posi
tion that at the present moment all our
philosophy, all our poetry, all our science
and all our art Plato, Shakspeare, New
ton and Raphael are potential in the fires
of the sun." We may pronounce this ex
treme notion monstrous, as Professor Tyn
dall does, but the most conclusive results
ot scientific inquiry put it beyond all
doubt that the force of the sun's influence
plays a chief part in sustaining the life
of the brain, and is too important to
brain health to be neglected without fatal
peril.
The almost miraculous play of the par
ticles of the brain, which constitutes the
life and action of that organ, is very little
understood, except by scientists and those
who pay special attention to science. It
goes on ill or well, and no heed is paid to
causes which affect it, until perhaps the
effects of ignorance become manilest in
complete or partial DreaKoown or tne
mind. At this moment all civilized com
inanities, where a high spirit of enterprise
has long prevailed, are suffering to a most
serious, not to say terrible, extent Irom
brain-deterioration, the result of working
the brain too hard, and of cutting it off
from vivifying influences, chief among
which are the influences of the sun.
We need not enlarge upon the facts to
which study of this subject bears testi
mony. It is more to our purpose here to
point out the practical necessity, for our
men and women who have
chiefly in-door life, especially
that life be one which taxes
the brain, of special attention to
feeding the brain with sun-force, or bath
ing the brain in the solar influences. And
we believe practical experience warrants
tne statement that lor anything like an
adequate result there should be an active
state of the body, while in the sun-bath,
and as much help as may be from the
freshest air and the closest contact of the
feet with the kindly magnetism of the
earth. The fact is that the garden is as
much Eden now as ever it was, and that
work in a garden, nghtly engaged in, is
the surest safeguard to one who needs to
take special care of the health of the brain.
Days in spring when we have a fresh east
wind, a warm sun, and the soil alive with
the new influences of the season, ought
conscientiously to be improved by people
of overtaxed brains, to whom the exercise
and exposure we speak of would be far
more useful than any vacation from labor
in midsummer can be. Thirty days at
this season of the year, judiciously devot
ed to putting body and brain under the in
fluences of sun, and soil, and air, would
do more to renew brain power than all
other means together can do.
remaps some of our readers cannot
command tune for holding such a " pro

satisfactorily in most cases, and is more

Hints on the Use of Draft Horses.
" If a horse cannot lay to his work, and
bend his head down when he desires to
do so, be sure that he is not properly har
nessed." Whenever a horse is employed for the
purpose of drawing any vehicle, it is of
me utmost importance that he should be
able to employ all his strength to advan
tage. Every one, who considers at all,
must acknowledge that if a horse has to do
his work iu a cramped or confined condi
tion, or when he is inconveniently placed
as regards the load, he cannot exert hii
lull power, which is so much loss to his
master; or, if forced to perform a certain
am mnt, that he is obliged to waste a great
deal more of his strength (or muscular
power) than is required, to his own great
pain and injury.
The queaion how to prooerlv attach the
horse to the vehicle is, therefore, one of
tne greatest importance to every master
who wishes to get a proper degree of work
in a fair and rational manner. Yet, from
being unacquainted with the principles,
few examine closely into the practice ; an
immense deal of horse strength is wasted
every day on loads which, if properly at
tached, might have been comfortably
moved with far less trouble, exertion and
pain.
The act of pulling is performed by lean
ing forward, with the weight of the body
against the resistance of the onrvosine
force, and then, by strong movements of
the limbs, keeping up and increasing the
pressure; the weight of the body being of
vuc uuiium importance, as any one may
try by pulling at a rope passiug over one
shoulder, and standing upright all the
time. It will be found that what was be
fore pulled with ease cannot now be moved
at all, or at any rate, only by the most
severe and continued efforts of the limbs.
These muscular movements, exhausting
the strength, try the system violently,
whereas, the body-weight is easily em
plowed without consuming the vital ener
gies.
From the upright position of a man'!
body, he is not fitted to draw loads. If,
therefore, this great difference is perceiv
able with his light frame, how great must
be the waste of strength when the horse
is prevented Irom throwing his whole
weight fairly into to the collar? Yet this
is constantly the case through various
causes.
. First, and, unfortunately, in too many
iub-s, me ciniar i quite unnt ior the ani
mal, a norse collar is, we are sorry to
say, frequently looked upon merely as a
ring for the neck, to which the traces are
to be affixed ; whereas there is no part of
the harness so important and which ought
mj in, bo accurately, now oiten is a little
collar, only fit for a pony, jammed on the
neck of a much larger animal, so that
every pull he makes gives the feeling of
b lauguiauuo, ana mat win, in all proba
bility, cause some fit, if long continued,
besides its liability to gall and wring the
poor animal's shoulder? When this has
taken place the work cannot be fairly per
formed ; and to do it all the anguish of the
poor horse must be indescribable.
Secondly, the horse is often prevented
from throw ing his weight into the e illar
Dy a cnecK-rein a useless and painful in
cumbrance introduced by vanity and re
tained by thoughtlessness amounting to
cruelty. Ask horse-keepers why they use
it, and hardly any one will give the same
answer, although it is generally supposed
by them to be a safeguard in case of stum
bling. The real object with which it was
introduced wi s to make every horse to
which it was applied, however wpfc r

Few of the London cab drivers use the

1 hirdly, a great cause of unnecessary
pain and labor to many horses, is a neg-
greased. "Some persons may not be
aware, says llieover, in his work on Bi
peds and Quadrupeds, "that the trifling
onvciy ury or wen greased, will cause
twenty miles to take more out of a horse
than forty would in the latter; yet wheels
absolutely screaming from dryness are
often seen, and heard, attached to carts
ana wagons, and thus would the brute in
human form let them scream till he had
reached his iournev's end. or ftnishpri ha

if the defect were attended to."
Men who have loaded carta Anrl rlrivpn

fact is the working men know little and
care less on the subject If that is not so,
how is it that we frequently see the fol

the vehicle and the animal. May not a

Whes will American mothers show
their good sense and dress their children
plainly? An underskirt is just as useful
entirely plain, as with innumerable tucks
and ruffles? aprons soil just as ouicklv

if without it.
We should avoid all this useless work.
A good sewing machine used to iwrfi-irm
the sewing of plain garments is a valuable

clothed. My children never seem to feel
the need of tucks and ruffles, aud as I join
iiiem ior a laiiiuie iiuiiting spring tlowers,
I am not constantly fretted about their
clothes, for they are of good, substantial
material, not easily torn, aud so plainly
made that if soiled they are very easily
washed and ironed. People say to me
what a healthy, rosy-looking family you
have. I think very few people ever felt

dress of my children. .
I was very much distressed by one of
the numerous children of a hard-working
mechanic coming to my door, one cold,
rainy day, dressed in ruffled dress and
apron, with shoes unfit for any child to
wear, and asking a pattern for an infant's
tucked dress. 1 told the child to tell its
mother that I never had such an article,
and hoped my good sense would never al
low such a display. Very pretty they are,
but there are so many things to be done
for the sweetcss and most helpless of all
creation, that I should hardly feel justified
in taking the time to make and iron such
a garment
Mothers, try this plan of plain garments,
and see if the little ones are not just as
comfortable, and if you do not find your
labors very much lessened by it
Above all things, try to find time for a
little self-culture, that you may be the
companions and teachers of the tender
years of your children. Cor. JV. T. Tribune.

Chatped Hands. It is said that honey
is an unfailing preventive for chapped
hands. When washing the hands, or
rather having washed them, while they are
still wet, rub on them a little honey, and
then dry them, taking care to leave the
honey on, and not rinse it off before dry
ing the hands. If the hands are sore and
chapped, on the first and second applies
tion the honey will cause pain for about
five minutes, but it used every time tne
hands are washed, the hands never chap.
It is also a cure for irritation on the face
caused by wind and cold weather.
To Destroy Willow Trees. A cor
respondent of the Carolina Farmer says:
Cut through the bark with a light hatchet
or drawing knife about five or six feet
from the irround. Then strip the bark
down to the ground in pieces two or three
inches broad, leaving it fast to tne tree at
the bottom. This can be dose any time
in May. Toward the latter part ot sum
mer, or any time thereafter, the trees may
be cut Some will die previously ; others
will remain green throughout the summer.
But whether dead or alive when cut, the
stumps will never sprout
Sakett Rein. A correspondent of the

simple safety rein, for use on hard-pulling

used, but on it are placed two loose rings,

rings on the bit To these loose rings the
eheck pieces of the bridle are fastened,
the outer rings being used only for the
drivinir reins, which pass tcrougu luetu

will be seen that pulling on the rein by

pressing it against the fork of the lips,
and throws the head up instead of against
the breast. The correspondent says he
has used this contrivance with success for

The common practice of throwing saw

Green Spinach. At the head of that
class of pot herbs commonly called
" greens, stands spinach, admitted to be
the most delicate in texture and acceptable
in flavor. Many like their greens boiled
with meat a treatment that may be well
enough for turnip-tops, cabbage-sprouts,
and the like coarse herbs, but to drench
the delicate and refined spinach in greasy
pot-liquor, is to my notion an out ami sac
rilege. Often, with the best of intentions,
the cook will send spinach to the table
of an olive or nearly brown color, instead
of the dark, pleasing green, which makes
it as welcome to the eye as it is to the
palate. This want of proper color is be
cause the cook does not know one simple
dodge. Always boil spinach in an un
covered pot AVhen the spinach is done.

House Plants.
To succeed in growing plants in dwell
ings, it is necessary to keep the air around
the plants at a moderate temperature, say
from fifty to sixty degrees, and as moist
as possible, by having the plants stind on
damp moss, sand, or other material that
will all the time be giving off moisture
amongst the leaves.

Dangerous Well Water.
It frequently happens that wlla, which
at one time were supplied with pure and
fresh water, in the process of building and
change in population become contaminat
ed with organic matter, having Its fource
in cesspools, outhouses, and the like. A
convenient way of testing whether the
well is subject to external Influences, is to
employ a salt of lithium. For example,
pour into the cesspool a small quantity of
a soluble salt of lithia, and after a few
hours, test the well water to see if any of
the lithia has percolated through the soil
The least trace of lithia can be shown
through the spectroscope, anil a Subter
ranean connection, with the well, at once
determined.
There is nothing more dangerous than
organic matter in drinking water. To
such impurities have been traced many
cases of typhoid fever, cholera, and other
epidemics: and too much caution cannot
therefore be observed in the location of
wells.
The insidious character of water cannot
always be determined by a direct chemical
analysis, and the taste of soft water be
comes more palatable than that of hard,
so that it is better, if possible, to prove a
connection with drains or pools, in order
to frighten persons from using from un
wholesome wells. As lithia is not a
poison, its use for this test can be safely
tried. Scientific American.
Feeding Sheep.
Ae to my resona. for keeping sheep in
so small lots : In the first place, in small
lots each sheep will get its proper share
of grain, etc, 'and in the second place,
you can keep them more quiet All the
room they should have, in my opinion, is
so that they can lie down comfortably and
not crowd each other. One quart of com
per head a day is heavy feed, I admit, but
if they are large, strong wethers, that will
weigh 100 or 110 pounds on an average in
the fall, they will eat it, if the weather is
steady cold. But if it is hot and cold
every few days, they will not eat quite so
much. My theory of feeding sheep is
this, that after you get them well on their
feed, and up to what we term full feed,
the more you can get them to eat, the
faster they will lay on fat My experience
is that if you want to fatten sheep fast
give them all they can eat and digest and
keep them quiet and they will not disap
point you. I claim that you can crowd a
sheep las well as you can a hog, if you
know how to do it We calculate to make
sheep gain from twenty up to twenty-five
pounds per head, live weight, in about 100
or 110 days from the time we put them in
the yards. F. L. Potter, in Country Gen

of "Dr. Sage's Catarrh Cure," "Dr. Sage's

sounding name. Also bear in mind that the
genuine has the words " R. V. Pierce. M. D.,

Quit Drugging.
This is now admitted by the medical profession
as a fundamental principle of healing science. It
is wisely provided by the human economy that
whenever anything is wrong In the physical sys
tem tbe natural lorcea of the body are brought to
bear to expel the disease. The great aim. there
fore, is ta strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful compounders
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, which operates to
give fresh vitality to all the organs of the body.
Tbe effect of this medicine upon tbe stomach, the
liver and the kidneys is prompt and decisive. The
patient who b wise enough to quit drugging and
try the Bitters soon feels aa If he had taken a new
lease of life, and as he continues the use of the ar
ticle, he is overjoyed to find the streams of health
coursing through his frame. It at prepared with
great care, and iu component parts are entirely
vegetable. It is free from the objections so often
urged against preparations of the kind. As a me
dicinal agent it has no equal, while ita pleasing
flavor and healthful effects have made It a general
favorite. It is free from all properties calculated
to impair the system, and its operations are at
once mild, soothing ana efficient. All who have
used Hostetter's SLomach Bitten attest its virtues
and commend it.
Even those who are In tbe enjoyment of perfect
healta frequently have need to have recourse to
tnnics ss preventives of disease. We are never
too well armed against the assaults of "the ills
that flesh is heir to. In health or sickness, this
tonic cannot be taken regularly without giving vi
tality and elasticity to the system.
