Kean tVoplc. 0n of the oddest things in the world is the fact that mean people do not know that they are mean, but cherish a sincere conviction that they are the souls of generosity. You will hear them inv ighing loudly against a neighbor who does not cooie up to the etandard of a generous man, and decrying the 6in of hoarding and withholding, with out bf ing tangible in the least that they are condeming themselves. Thev are usually people who are not in the habit of "self-criticism, and if they were not amusing, they would be the moet aggravating class alive. Moreover, they are generally people who are not only willing to receive, but who demand a great deal at the hands of others ; yet the example of their friends in giving and lending never ieems to strike thtm as at variance with their own line of con duct, and if by any chance they part with p. farthing, it apjars to them a more magnanimous act than the founding of a hospital by another. The mean person must be brought to a lively sense of the need before owning her purse ; as for beggars, i-he disapproves of them altc aether ; they are jiestiferous as the mosqui to in her eyes, and oiniht to be leg islated out of existence. We do not, ho ever, always find the mean per son among the rich ; she is quite as likely to be poor ; indeed, one of the great disadvantages of poverty is that it often obliges one to seem small, obliges one to think of the candle ends when one would prefer to think of better things. Money does not make a man mean necessa rily, or we should not all be strug gling so hard to obtain it ; it ought rather to be a preventive. The dis ease lies in the disposition of the in dividual, and it is doubtful if any ulterior circumstances can eradicate it ; and while in this view we may phkiIw forgive her. we vet find her vastly inconvenient to deal with. If : she is the employer, the mean wo- ! man is apt to get as much worK from her servant for the least money txisKibl On some riretext or other she detains her seamstress after her regular days's work is over, under pays her washerwoman, or exchang es old duds for clean linen; keeps the servants' lire low, or pays their wages witli cast-off finery. Some times, indeed, it is the servant who gives poor work for liberal payment; sometimes it is the hus band who dines sumptuously at his dub, while his family sit down to poor diet ; sometimes it is the land lord who obliges the tenant to make his own repairs or no shabby ; some times it is the neighbor who borrows but never lends, the manufacturer who adulterates food or drugs; the step-mother who feeds the children on skimmed milk ; the mother-in-law, who beerudges the son's wife the fallals she has not been used to ; ! or the daughter-in-law who makes j her husband s mother feel like a stranger in her home. Indeed, OTioanrtftca to cnrK on 11 n1rtril V trait that it is no wonder we all disown it. How Wives May Win. A woman, because she is a wife, cannot afford to neglect those graces of mind and manner which first at tracted her lover and husband. The common round of household duties should not entirely absorb her. She should have more than one side to her life; should be a helpmate, companion, friend, mistress of her husband's affections, years after their union, instead of being merely a skillful cook or cometent house wife. To be all that nature and reason demand of her, she need not release her hold upon the marital heart by confining herself to the kitchen, the laundry and the nur sery. She may be a devoted wife and mother without forgetting that she was a woman before she was either; ever aiming to keep alive in her husband's breast the spirit of gallantry and tenderness, on which masculine affection almost entirely depends. Her husband is constant ly advancing, it not by regular cul ture, at least by daily contact with the outer world ; and it should be titr ppnflplPKa ctnnir In kepn nhrpnst ! of his improvement. Iiet her by no means forget her coquettish arts, or lay aside her engaging ways which did so much to ensnare his heart. She must have something to enter tain him with on his rtturn home lesiue dreary iterations of troubles with servants and blunders of cook ery books. A rose in her hair and a verse of poetry on her lips have more power to hold him than the most eloquent story of domestic dis aster. et neither roses or poetry will be of much avail if dinner is late, or badly cooked and served, Man at his lest is a materialist. It is not the wife's fault that site walks on so low a domestic plane. She would gladly mount to a higher one if her husband would give her his helping hand, or even invite her to the upper air. Men are unkind and unsympathetic more from want of thought than from want of feeling. They unconsciously put obstacles in the way of feminine advancement, and seldom pause to observe how the obstacles are overcome, or retlect that their joint assistance is requir ed. Their minds should be stirred, their memories aroused by the gen tle agencies women know so well how to exercise. Then they will see clearly enough how easy it is for a ! jiositive nature to drift into a nega tive tyranny. From delicate sug gestions, and by the charmingly in complete syllogisms of sentiment thev will arrest their tern neramental venueucies, anu oe iransierreu into lovers again before they are well ware how the delightful change has been wrought. What He Had to hay. - - 1 I r . . Mr. Jenkins had an eye to the beautiful and when his wife brought into the domestic economy a real pretty house girl, Mr. Jenkins legan to scout around for game. Mrs. Jenkins had her eyes open and one day caught her lord unsuccessfully trying to kiss the girl. "Well, sir,"' she said with frozen dignity and unutterable scorn, "I've caught you, have I ?'' "The indications would warrant such a conclusion, my dear," he re plied coolly. "What have you to say, sir ?" "Well, my dear.it isn't exactly in order for any lengthy remarks, but j 1 should say if it was half as hard to kiss you as it was that girl, I don't really believe I could stand the rack et oftencr than once in ten years." Then be mopped his perspiring brow and took a long breath, and his wife sent the girl away and hired a col ored woman. Please to remember that in the economy of lite short progress and honest weight are better than long progress and short weight JV. )'. 2TaR More Respect far Ariolture. ; Agriculture is a large enough fact in this country to hare rights inal ienable, and the Grange now leads the van in the aggressive demand that those rights shall have their metes and bounds fixed in justtice in courts, Congress and Constitution al enactments. The farmer is be coming more acknowledged in high political places as the posessor of a head with braius as well as a mus cular power to be directed in the fields of manual labor and when it is thoroughly understood that he is no longer a mere puppet in the work of the ballot his prominence as a factor in public affairs will be as sured. Muscle and docile industry are a no mean power upon the farm, but muscle and mind are a combination not onlv wholesome in the fields but invincible in the political forum where we must all needs go to assert ear rights. . Educating the peopleup to a high er manhood and womanhood is a eading hobby of the Grange and we have been riding it with a per sistence and consistent grit that ar gues well for our success ; we want all our brethern of the plow to learn the good and wide-awake art of thinking for themselves so that with ojen eyes clear heads and well pest ed minds they may be able to cope with the problems and practical philosophy of labor clear through from the furrow in the field to the final result in dollars, cents and the accrued comforts and refinements of life. We are teaching that the farmer is or should be, a social being and would fain coax him out of his grim cast iron shell of isolation and intro duce him to his neighbor and to the world to the end that he and his wife and all that are of his house may forget some of the burdens of life" limber up a chatty mood in their glum tongues and learn a few of the healthy beauties of relaxation. For making slavery of work the mum tongue the dumpish ways and too much selfish rumination upon the personal prominence of the big I are not the best kind of blessings for the sons and daughters of agri culture. The necessary routines of farm and domestic labor have very much of the humdrum in their sameness but if we can mix in men tal lessons as well and a little more of the hearthstone, juvenile spice of play with the resolve that our daily handicraft shall ranee higher than the mere grabbing for dollars, we will have accomplished a reform well worthy of o ir etforts. Fattening Swine. It is generallj' conceded that there should be no standstill period in the correct system of feeding but that growth ought to begin with young pig9 and be steadily and con tinuously increased until the ani mal is ready for the butcher's block. While everybody nearly accepts the "no standstill"' system as correct in theory, most farmers in reality keep their pigs during the summer months on very poor and mesgre rations, waiting until cold weather to begin feeding with a view to fat tening. Growers who practice the plan of making the most of the summer season by regular feeding testifying to the decided advantage of this sys tem. In very cold weather, unless the hogs can be well housed and kept at a temperature of about sixty degrees, what the animal eats goes to keep up the heat and the food fails to produce the same amount of fat it would in warm weather. There remains no question but that it pays to provide warm comfortable houces for swine during the winter season in rigorous climates. The excessive fat gained by ex cessive feeding of fat producing food is objected by many consumers who prefer a large proportion of lean with the fat. Live Stock Journal says on his subject that the hoe is naturally a grass and root eating animal but in its domestication, being fed almost wholly in this country upon con concentrated food, has come the hab it of depositing this excess of fat. It young pigs are kept upon food that will grow the muscles and develop a rangy frame they will in the opinion of the authority referred to possess so much muscle when half-grown that a moderate length of time in (attening,even on corn will not pile on an excessive amount of fat Pigs fattened in Canada partly upon barley but largely upon peas a highly nitrogenous food yielding a large proportion of muscle produce more lean meat than do swine fat tened almost wholly upon corn an excessively starchy and fattening food. Waatcin Thresh inn A cart ful German fanner has test ed the waste from a threshing ma chine or rubber, as it is called, which takes in the bundle sideways, so as to admit of its being rebound. He ran the chaff, which was supposed to be free from grain, through a fanning mill, and obtained 25 bushels of rye. This was 25 per cent, of his crop. It proves what I have urged before that in the hurry and helterskelter and "hurry boys," connected with threshing machines, especially the itinerant ones, there is always con siderable waste. When I spread buckwheat straw to mulch thestraw berry beds, the buckwheat came up last spring thick enough to seed the ground. An economical manager of a paper mill once told me thattbpv obtained 13 per cent, of the cost of the rve straw in the rye that was in it They always threshed the straw over be fore using it in the mill, and in this way reduced its cost The lesson to be learned from these facts is obvi ous. There should be less hurry alwut the threshing, and the feeding of the machine should be slower, in order to insure a more perfect shel ling of the grain. The owner should see that the cleaning mill is in good order, and that the sieves are kept clean, otherwise the grain will run over and go out with the chaff. If there were any of the old time thresh ers with flails, one of them would be sure to get a 6teady job at Kirbv Homestead. It did not cost as much to thresh grain in this was in olden times as it does now with the fast working machines. The Bottle in the Closet. Some sly old fellows have a habit of keep ing their brandy bottle under lock and key, wher nobody but them selves can get at it They think no body knows bow often they go to it, but a red nose sometimes tells the tale louder than words can speak it The "bottle in the closet," if it con tain brandy, is very mischievous. But a "bottle in the closet," full of terry Uavu-'s Pain Killer, is just what no family can afford to be without Why Eve Didn't Xeed Ctrl. A lady writer in one of our ex changes furnishes some of the rea sons why Eve did not keep a girL Sh aavs : There has been a treat deal said about the faults of women and why they need 60 much wait ing nn Snmft one fa man of v... v - course,) has the presumption to ask, " hy, when fcve was manuiacurea nut rf . snare rib. a servant was not made at the same time to wait on ber !"

He never read the newspapers unm me sun went, down behind the paim trees, and stretching himself then yawned out "Is supper ready yet, my dear ?" Not he. He made the fire, and hung the kettle over it him. self, we'll venture, and pulled the radishes, peeled the potatoes, and did everything else he ought to do. He milked the cows and fed the chickens and looked after the pigs himself, and never brought home half a dozen friends lor dinner when Eve hadn't any fresh pomegranates. He never stayed out till eleven o'clock at night and then scolded be cause Eve was sitting up and crying inside the gates. He never loafed around corner groceries while Eve was rocking little Cain's cradle at home. He never called Eve up from the cellar to put away his slippers. Not he. When he took them off he put them under the fig tree beside his Sunday boots. In short he did not think she was especially created for the purpose of waiting upon him, and he wasn't under the impression that it disgraced a man to lighten a wife's cares a little. That's the rea son Eve didnt need a hired girl, and with it the reason her descendants did. They Itoa't Affiliate. A colored man was busily engaged in sawing wood lor Colonel I'owis, when the latter observed that the bosom of the man and the brother so to speak, was adorned by an odd Fellow's breast pin. "Do the white Odd Fellows and the colored Odd Fellows affiliate?' asked Colonel I'owis. 'Don't fillyate wuf a cuss, but they helps each other out' 'Well that's the 6ame thing aint lit?' 'No sir ; hit's not the same ding.' 'What's the difference ?' The colored man stopped sawing wood and made the following expla nation : 'Last' week, when dat norther was a freezin' der marrer in yer bones, I went inter der saloon of a white man what totes dis very same emblem. I was in distress rale distress as I hadn't had a dram dat momin',so I gib him de signal of distress., 'Did he respond ?' 'He didn't gib de proper response. De proper response would hab been to rub his lef ear with his right hand and to hab sot out de bottle. 'Then he did not respond correct ly?' 'No, sir ; he made a motion at be doah wid one hand and reached un der de bar wid de odder. I made de Odd Fellers' signal of distress once moah, an' den som't'in' hard hit me on de head an' knocked me clean out into de street.

I purchased five bottles of your Hop Bitters of Bishop i Co. last fall, for my daughter, and am well pleas ed with the Bitters. They did her more good that all the medicine she has taken for six years. WM. T. McCLURE. The above is from a very reliable farmer, whose daughter was in poor health for seven or eight years, and could obtain no relief until she used Hop Bitters. She is now in as good health as any person in the country. We have a large sale, and they are making remarkable cures. W. H. BISHOP & CO. An Awful Thought. A young lady stepped into a cer tain drug store the other day to quiz the clerk. She gave him this and that, and he soon became red in the face. 'He was becoming irritated. "If I keep on," she said, sweetly : "You'll get mad, won't you?" "Yes, I will,'' he pettishly replied. "I'd advise you net Don't be eome more worked up than you are. It wouldn't be safe," she answered. "Why wouldn't it?" "Because if you become madder they will put you in that drawer and sell you out to color old shawls at ten cents a pound. Think to what a base use a handsome drug clerk might come to if he didn't use care." And the lady left, much to the relief of the muchly worried clerk, who failed to "catch on."

A ltog Mourning hi Master. George Lafferty, of Malvern, who recently committed suicide, was deeply loved by his Newfoundland dog Duke. The faithful animal and his master were insejuirable friends, and no matter where Lafferty went Duke always followed. When Laf ferty rashly killed himself none ofi his friends mourned his death more ' deeply than the dog. Duke took up a position by the side of the corpse and refused to leave it until it was placed in a coffin, when he quietly j stretched himself under the bier and1 remained there day and night until the funeral. When the funeral cor tege left the bouse Duke broke the rope to which he was tied and ran after the carriages. With his head hanging down, as if in silent mourn ing. Duke trotted under the hearse ontil the cemetery was reached. When the coffin was lowered in the ground the faithful animal stood by and watched until the grave was fill ed with dirt and then, only after the most persistent enorts, was be induc ed to leave the spot Philadelphia Recurd.

"How many Chinese are there in New York" asked a reporter of an officer of the Chinese Consulate re cently established here. "We are now engaged in making a list of Chinese in New York, which will tell the exact number. At pres ent I can only say that we estimate the number at three thousand." "Are there any women among them ?" "I am told that one Chinese wo man lives here, somewhere on Sixth avenue. You know that most if not all of the men came here frem San Francisco. This trip, with the ocean voyage to California, is rather expen sive to the average Chinaman, and would be more bo, of course, if he brought his family. Besides, the larger number expect to return to China." "What are the occupation of these three thousand?" "Most of them are laundrymen, some cigar-makers and the rest petty merchants. There is, however, a firm in Broadway, opposite Astor Place, which imports bric-a-brac, &c. There are no Chinese import ers of teas that I know of." "Where do thev get the names of "Lee," "Sing," "Lung," &c?" pursu ed the reporter. "Oh those simply represent cer tain Chinese sounds. I can give you a curious fact or two about their names. One is that, by an old cus tom in China, a man has one name in business and another in his pri vate life. The other fact is that their names corresponding to the English John, Tom, &c, follow, not precede the family name. Some, howevar, have adopted the English way." "How much intercourse is there between the Chinese and Japanese here?" "None whatever, Y'ou may be interested in learning that though the two hations use the 6ame char acters for writing, one cannot under stand the spoken langauge of the other. The Japanese here number about four hundred." "Ia not the language very difficult to acquire ?" "Extremely so, there being, for in stance, seven thousand letters, each having four sounds." "Do the Chinese have any relig ious or joss-houses here?" "There isn't any in this city, but I believe there is one in New Jersey in connection with a large laundry a case of cleanlinees next to godli ness, vou see." To Repair Damages.

Olive Logan, who ought to be con sidered good authority on anv sub ject she writes about, gives the fol lowing advice to young girls. She undoubtedly "knows how it is her self," or did long, long ago. "A woman's safeguard is to keep a man's hands off her. If you need his assistance in walking, take his arm instead of hm taking yours. Just tell him in plain English to "Hands off!" He may not like it at first hut he will respect you in the future ten times more. Men will be and do just what the women allow them to do. Men will not do to trust Give a man your arm and you will find him very confidential, and he will take a great many privi leges he would not take if he was not permitted to do so. He will give your arm many loving squeez es and sly twists that he could have no opportunity of doing, and the op portunity is just what he is after. A lew words more of advice and I close. Keep young girls off the street, except when they have business. Teach them it is unnecessary to go to the poetofhee every time they go out Your girls can walk alone just as well as your boys. Don't allow your girls, if they must have a beau, to go with a boy much older than themselves. If possible, instil into their nature that they are safer alone than in the hands of any man preachers not excepted." Better than Millions. Robert J.
