Handle Dairy Stock Kindly,
Mr. Parcell. in the report of the "VW
Jersey agricultural society, says: It it
important that dairy stocK. fiom the
young calf to the old cow that is beins
fed for beef, should bo handled and
treated kindly. If a calf is handled
roughly and becomes wild and vicious
thereby, when it becomes a cow you
may expect the same, but if handle!
carefully and treated with kindness
when grown up she will be mild and
gentle. It may not always be so, but in
general it is. There have always been
many cows spoiled by the person hav
ing the care of and milking them, by
whipping or frightening them when
ever tney come in his way, or if when
milking, a cow hoists her foot or sicks
(which is generally caused by pain),
such a fellow stops milking and com
mences whipping, or worse, kicking
t.ie cow, and she becomes enraged,
holds up her milk, kicks back, and is
finally ruined. Never whip a cow for
kicking, if she does kick the mi,k nail
out of your hand and sometimes upset
and knock vou. but be kind and opntlo
with her, and milk her out with as lit-
tie excitement as possible, and if shn
gets over her kicking propensity it will
be by mild and not by harsh treatment.
Never whip a cow because she kicks,
lor it will do do good, but will do a
great deal of harm.
Suicides.
The frequency of suicide recalls an
incident connected with the first
Napoleon . On one occasion a sold ier of
the consular guard committed suicide
from a disappointment in love, when
Napoleon issued the following order of
the day : " The Grenadier Gobain has
committed suicide from love. He was
in other respects an excellent soldier.
This is the second incident of the kind
within a month. The first consul
directs to be inserted in the order book
of the guard that a soldier ought to
know how to vanquish the pangs and
melancholy of the passions ; that there
is as much true courage in bearing up
against mental sufferings with con
stancy as in remaining firm on the walls
of a battery. To yield ourselves to
grief without resistance, or to kill our-
se.ves to etcape afll ction, is to abandon

Weltinr Lead Tenclls.
The act of putting a lead pencil to tho
tongue, to wet it. just before writing
which we notice in so mnnv people, is
one of the oddities of which it is hard
to give any reason unles it begin in
the days when iead pencils were poorer
than now, and was continued by ex
ample into the next generation.
A lead pencil should never be wet. It
hardens the lead and ruins the pencil.
TjIs fact is known to newspaper men
and stenographers. But nearly every
one else does wet a pencil before UBing
it. This fact was definitely settled by
a newspaper clerk away down-East.
Being of a mathematical turo of mind,
he aicertained by actual count that of
fifty persons who omne into the office
to write an advertisement or church
notice, forty-nine wet a pencil in their
mouth before using it. Now this clerk
always uses the best pencils, cherishing
a good one with something of the pride
1 Buiuibr iceis in ills gun or sworn, ana
it hurts his feelings to have his pencils
spoiled. But politeness and business
considerations require him to iend his
pencil scores of times every day. And
often after it has been wet till it was
hard and brittle and refused to mark,
his feelings would overpowt r him.
Finally, he got sonu cheap pencils
and sharpened them to lend The first
person who took up the stock pencil
was a m-in whose breath smeit of onions
and whisky. lie held the point in his
mouth and soaked it for several min
utes, while he was torturing himself in
the effort to write an advertisement for
a missing bulldog.
Then a sweet-looking young lady
came into the office, with kid gloves
that buttoned half the length of her
arm. Mie picked up the same old pen
cil and prei-sed it to her dainty lips pre
paratory to writingan advertisement for
a lost bracelet. The clerk would have
stayed her hand, even at the risk of a
box of the best pencils ever Faber
catered, but he was too late.
And thus that pencil passed from
mouth to mouth tor a week. It was
sucked by peooleofall ranks and stat
ions, and all degrees of cleanliness and
uncleanlintss. JBut we forbear. Surely
no one who reads this will ever again
wet a lead pencil. Minneap lis Tribune.

Rebecca Harding Davis has in Har
per's M -gatine nn article on "By-Paths
in the Mountains," from which we t-ke
this extract: The awful solitude of the
forests is senrcely broken by them,
riati of their unpainted, weather-beaten
houses are always empty, the inmates
having apparently died, or gone farther
into these sleepy wildernesses and for
gotten to come back. Tho roads lead
ing to them are always over break-neck
precipices and in scandalous repair, one
generation putting off to another the
mending of them. There is always a
deserted mica mine on a neighboring
height, shining like a fountain of silver
gushing from the rock; there is always
a stream which " would give a power
ful yield of gold, only we folks don t
count much on them oncertain ways of
makin' a livin'."
There are always one or two families
of educated, well-bred people. They
hare little money, but they feel tho need
of it less here than anywhere else iu the
States. They Jive in roomy wooden
houses, the walls, ceiliui-s and floors fre
quently made of a purplish fine-grained
poplar, which no Persian carpet or tap
estry could rival in beauty ; they buy
no new books, but they have used the
old ones until they are live friends; they
never saw a Gerome or a Fortuny. but
tlieir windows open on dusky valleys,
delicate in beauty as a dream, on rush
ing waterfalls, on rainbaw veils of mist
tloiting over dizzy heights; they dress
in home-pun, and siton wooden benches,
but knowing nothing of fashious or bric-a-brac,
their suula sit at enso tiud nro
quiet, nnd they never feel the aching
void of an empty pocket. Our travelers
were welcomed to many a room where
trunks, the spinning-wheel and the
cook in j stove filled one side, and the
bed and a portion of a Revolutionary
ancestor the other, where flat-ironb and
silver goblets, Shakespeare and the
blacking-hrushes, amicably keep com
pany on the mantel-shelf, hut in which
ihii tine quick wit and the grave courtesy
ol tlieir hosts would have dwarfed the
stateliest surroundings.
Words of Wisdom.
Reason and virtue nlono can bestow
liberty.
The last man to correct a mistake is
the man who commits it.
True merit, like a river, the deeper it
is the less noise it makes.
He who stops to pick a flaw in others
knitting work drops many stitches in
his own.
Let him who regret3 the loss of tim
make proper use of that which is to
come iu the future.
Rich attire is the vest of pride. The
worst apparel is nature's garment; the
best but folly's garnish.
A generous man will place the benefits
he conters beneath his leet; those he re
ceives, nearest his heart.
We may do a very good action and
not be a good man, but we cannot do a
very ill oue and not be an ill man.
It you wish to appear agreeable in
society, vou must consent to be taught
many things which you know already.
He who truly wishes the happiness
of any one, cannot be long without dis
covering some mode of contributing to
it.
It is better to wear out than to rust
out. we must not only strike the iron
while it is hot, but strike till it is made
hot.
Ills Last Dollar.
The other morning, savs the Cars'n
(Nev.) Appeal, a stranger might have
been noticed standing in the rear of the
mint watching an old woman pick un
sticks. She must have been about
eighty years of ago. Her eld calico dress
was full or holes, her lace was as wrink-
d as tripe and as brown as leather.
Every time she stooped to picK up a
stick Hhe was obliged to do so with a
painful effort. She raked over the dry
leaves with palsied hands and all t;e
worthless little nieces went into her
basket. A heap of garbage and ashes
occupied her attention tor some ten
minutes. The man who was watching
her finally walked up behind her and
dropped a dollar into her basket and
then stole awav unnoticed. An attach.
of the mint, who was near, hailed him
as he passed: "I say, did vou give a
dollar to the old ladyP" "Yes, I did,
although it was about the last I had. 1
can't bear to see poverty and old ase
oombined. I had a mother once almost
as old as 6ho, and as weak and palsied.
I feel for an old woman like that, and
she can have a dolUr from me. if it's the
last I've got." Do you see that lot
over there P" "Yes." "With houses
on it?" "Yes." " The houses and li t
belong to her." An expletive was all
the stranger had to offer as he turned
away and walked rapidly up Carson
street. It was bis last dollar.

A Wonderful Decade.
It is not too much to say that 110 great
invention whicli had rot, its beginning
in the decade of 1610-1850 has nppenreo
in the past thirty years. In that period
occurred the most signal developmen'
of the applications of chemistry to manu
factures and agriculture; an enormnu
expansion of commerce by means of
rnilroads nnd ocean stenmships; Hip
dicovery of ether; and the petf.'ction
and diffusion of some of the most pre
cious contributions ever made to the
welfare of mankind.
In 1835 only S84 miles of railroad had
been completed in the United States; in
1810 they had been nearly trebled. 2 818;
in 1845 they hid been nearly quadruple,
3,7(i8. In 1815 Boslen was connected
with Worcester, and Baltimore with
Washington: from Philadelphia the
traveler could go no farther West bv
rail Minn the Susiuehanna at Columbia.
In 1839, Ericsson brought over tho pr
seller to these hospitable shores. In
1840 tho Cunard line of ocean steamers
was es'ab'ished. but for a time only
" side wheelers " were tolerated. The
first regular ship, the Britannia.reached
Boston after a trip of fourteen days and
eight hours.
Morse's telegraph, after vain offers on
both sides of the Atlantic, was at last
subsidized by ourown government, and
in 1814 communication was opened be
tween Baltimore and Washington.
"What hath God wrought!" signaled
Morse at the capital to Alfred Vail at
Baltimore. The news dispatches to the
press " by elecro telegraph " or bv
"magnetic telegraph" were meager,
while public patronage was so timid
that the wits of the day made fun of a
delighted father in Baltimore who
"wired" the news of the birth of a
grandson to a postoffice official at the
capital" as it the mail wero too slow"
at twenty miles an hour.
In April, 1840, Goodyear was in tho
debtor's prison (a lodging almost a
familiar to him as his own home) in
Boston. He had the yf ar before found
the clew to the vulcanizing of rubber,
but the process was not reduced to a
certain tv till 1814. At about the same
time (1815-47) the McCurmick reaper
was confirming the independence of the
new world of the old as a granary. A
late as 183 38 wheat had been imported
into the United States from Portugal
and the Baltic.
The sewing machine devised by Ellas
Howe in 1843 was patented in 1810, but
the importauce of this invention was
not fullv realized for more than a dozen
years afterward.
The daugerreotype dates from 1839.
and in 1810 the enterprising Mr. Plumb
began taking likenesses in Boston with
small success for some months. Five
years later his " galleries" were to be

About the Hair.
The cause of gray hair is (he destruo
t on of the top of the papil re, r life and
col ir-eivlng bulbs at the root of the
hair. Not only old age, hut nervous de
bility or xhaUstion arising from over
work or dissipation, will cause (ho
color ol the hair to cease, nnd there are
many instances on record of tho hair
being turned suddenly white by a
L,reat shock to toe nervous system,
among the best known being that of the
unfortunate Queen Marie Antoinette.
It has also been stated that hair will
sometimes resumo its original color
again, as in the famous case of Naza
relia. Nnzarelia. a ruim 105 years old,
was, in 1774, at Vienna, presented by
nature with a new set of teeth and a
est iratioi of the block hiir of his
youth : also Sir John Sinclair, a Scotch
man, dying at 110, rejoiced in a youth
ful headuf hair during the latter years
of his life. "Variegated hair,' which
is alternately banded black and while, is
noted among tho hirsute curiosities of
nature, and green and blue hair have
been described by some authorities; but
these colors owt their production to the
influence of surroundings in which their
8U Meets live, the green hair belonging
to those who work in copper mines, and
blue to thope whose occupation is cobult
mining. Workers in indigo also have
blue hair. In Tiipoli and Turkey the
ladies paint the hair of their children a
vermilion color.
