The T,u«t nt a Professional Huclisf. "I whs standing hire yesterday afternoon," snitl Do Vinne Nickliu, •town in the Bowery, "wondering liow many tons of swortls and pistols and the like I had stacked up in the hack 01 my shop, when a slender figure, robed in black and thickly veiled, en tered the door and laid upon the show ease in front of mean ebony ease con taining the finest pair of flint-loek dueling pistols 1 ever saw. Convulsed with solis, the lady in blaek, who drew aside her veil to let me see that she was of tfausccndant beauty managed to inform me that the pistols which I saw before me were the last and most sacred relic of a once princely fortune that had belonged to her husband. Ho was a 'professional duelist,' she said, but had been out of work for a long time and was utterly unable to find employment on Manhattan Island. One by one his black coats and beauti ful gray trousers—implements of his art —had been pawned, and now there was nothing left but the baby and tho pistols. They had prayed for heavenly direction in their decision as to which of these they should hypothecate, and although her heart misgave her sorely as to the result, her good husband had finally decided that the pistols should be 'spouted.' They were something in the nature of a family Bible t:> her, she said, because the birthday of her in fant boy, the ilateof her marriage and other interesting domestic events had been neatly nicked with a bowie-knife in the ivory handles of their beautiful weapons. In the little silver-clasped cavities, always provided in the butt ol dueling pistols for caps and tho like, she had instead been accustomed tr. keep a lock of hers and her husband's hair, neatly intertwined. I bought tlu pistols from her, of course, being much moved by her suffering, and she left lue with a bright smile upon liei face, promising, when these funds rail out, that she would bring 'round tli6 baby.

Any good hen will lay 200 eggs in a year and bring out ten chickens. Tf, from the produce of these is deducted the value of one bushel of grain, the balance will be the profit. A young hen will last five years in good profit. But to keep a flock of more than fifty hens taxes the skill of experienced poultry men, as a crowd of fowls is very apt to become diseased, without the most particular care. —New York Times. CURE FOR ROARTNO. A new operation for the treatment of roaring lias been introduced to the public bya prominent English veteri narian. The principle involved is that, roaring being originally a disease of the nervous system, the proper treat ment would be to put the left recur rent nerve, which had lost its function, onto a sound motor nerve; suture it there, and endeavor to effect thereby a union, and, if possible, to get motor power supplied to the originally para lyzed larynx. To this end, the left recurrent nerve, having been divided, was sutured to a branch of the spinal accessory, and as the result of the operation, when tho time for exercising the animal arrived the amount of noise was comparatively slight, and in a few weeks the defect in the breathing was so trifling as only to be detected by an expert.—New- York World. Tilt AN* MASIIES FOR HORSES. Bran mashes for horses are the very ! poetry of physic and feed combined. They are cooling, comforting and slightly laxative, and never do harm, even though they do little or no good. AVlio shall say that bran mashes do no good? Who shall say that they are not suitable to the horse when he eats so greedily? If a horse will not eat a bran mash, whether ill or well, then there is something wrong with the bran —it is mouldy, mice eaten or ! something of that. sort. Given good j brail 110 horse will refuse it, uuless his j case is exceedingly bad. Bran mashes j are useful to form a vehicle formed- j icines, but the greatest care should be j taken not to give the horse anything nasty in the bran mash, in such a man- j ner as to affect the whole mash, or the j cliauces are that the animal will retain a recollection, however dim, that will enable liiin to associate an unideasaut j taste with the appearance of the mash. ! —Farming World. HOW TO RAISE FINE CARNATIONS. Many amateurs complain of difii culty in flowering the carnation well j in the living-room. T am confident. I that tlie chief cause of trouble is too warm and dry an atmosphere. Shower ] the plants all over at least, once a day, ' keep water evaporating from stove or register all the time, let iu a liberal | amount of fresh air, and you can grow 1 fine carnations iu the house; and a really good flower is worth a good deal of care, because of its beauty, its j delightful fragrance, anil its lasting qualities. (tive a somewhat heavy soil, with not enough sand to make it j very friable. Drain tlie pots well. Do j not use large ones. Six and seven i inch pots are quite large enough for j plants of ordinary, size. In potting, \ place the soil firmly about the roots, j Do not over-water, and do not keep j in too warm a room. The best place j for them is in a room off' one iu which ' there is a fire. If the temperature j falls to fifty degrees at night, no harm j is done. Aim to keep them free from j frost. If you succeed in doing this yon ought to be rewarded by having some line flowers. Showering is of j great importance, as it. keeps the red | spider down.—Demurest. CAI.VES IN WINTER. Give a calf a proper start the first | year. If poorly fed and housed no af- j ter care will ever make up the loss ' from the unthrifty habits of body and J poor digestion which wrong treatment | at that stage is sure to bring on. The [ housing should be good and warm, \ without being stuffy and ill ventilated, j and above all things chinks and drafts j are to be avoided. A large stall in j which about ten can move around free- j ly is best and most convenient every I way. The best fodder on the farm is none j to good for them. A handful of oats or chop at present prices will add to j the future profit of the calf. Salt ' should be provided in some form and , water as often as they care to drink. To drive calves a quarter of a mile on a cohl day to a water hole will bring certain harm and they will go faster j back than forward. The shed or house in which they are kept should face the south and have plenty of light, for sunshine is as essential to animal as to plant life. If the calves are of equal size they ; should be sorted into different lots, ; and if any show signs of uuthriftiness. ! they should be separated and have ex tra care, anil if possible a bit of oil cake, Oil cake is both food and med icine, and if at all within reach every farmer should lay iu a ton every fall. It an acre of flax is grown at home and a little of it soaked in hot water for an ailing beast of any kind it will be found a good investment. Cut when the seed is green, iliithreslicd t!a\ will do quite as well, and keep money at home. There is nothing very new, perhaps, in this advice, lint it is still worth thinking over.

A large quantity of t waste matter is thrown off through the - pores of the skin and if these are al lowed to become closed up, the health of the animal is affected. I Good bedding, properly supplied, j adds much to the comfort of the 1 horses and at. tlie same time aids iu j keeping them clean. So it is an im portant item to have all of the bedding . dry. It will be the best to lay a sup ply and store it under shelter so as to have it on hand when needed. Good mangers for feeding hay, and tight, convenient boxes for feeding grain will lessen the waste. Closets should be arranged iu which to hang harness as having it behind the horse in the stables is, to say the ! least, very injurious. In arranging j their closets care should always be i taken to have them near by in order to save time. As the feeding must bo I done two or three times daily, and as | on many farms the horses are liar i nessed once or twice every day, con i venience in arranging is au important j item. Every horse Bliould havo its j place, with a halter and a convenient j place to tie to. Making the horses com j fortable will lessen materially the j quantity of feed necessary to keep 1 them in good condition.—St. Louis Republic FARM AND GARDEN NOTES. Rushes are degraded lilies. Soapsuds are excellent manure. Stunted animals never fully recover. Starving the animals is starving the land. | Corn can be fed cattle without j shucking. | A coat of manure is one of the best j mulches for anything of a tender char acter. If a fruit tree is of full size for bear ! ing and does not do so it should be ; root-pruned. [ Care in all the details is required in handling stock in order to make a profit on them. j Clear up all the trash in the garden ! and burn it if you would keep free ' from cut worms. Hogs which are beiug fattened | should not be overfed or allowed to get sour stomachs. All bearing apple orchards should bo given a broadcast mulching with barnyard manure. Iu the fall it is always best to unite all weak colonies and get all as strong , us possible for winter. Generally at this time empty combs and section boxes should bo removed and preparations be made for winter j Black bees may be changed to Ital- I iatis by removing the black queen and | introducing an Italian queen in her I place. | At the close of the honey season every colony should be inspected to see if it is supplied with a laying I queen. It is well to remember that the flavor ! of the butter depends largely on the I sweetness and the flavor of the food given the cow. j Tainted milk does not always have a | bad odor. It is in this respect like I sewer gas. The more imperceptible it j is the more deadly. I Au experimental shipment of oaten | hay—oats cut when rather green and unthreshed—has recently been made from Australia to England. If your animals once run down it j will cost much trouble to get them j thrifty again, and it will also cost j double to make up the lost gain. Parent stocks that have swarmed j must depend upon young queens | alone for their existence. Tf anything | happens to them they cannot raise an other. When you see a nest of caterpillars i destroy them. That is tho time, and that is what you are there for. Wait | ing for some special time does not I count. With the present demand for lean i meat, instead of a carcass loaded with I fat, it is comparatively easy to keep pigs in condition to market at any time. A little grain with the grass will do it. A man who takes pains to have his j frui of uniform quality throughout ! gets more for his wares than he who \ mixes the different grades and sells j them at as high a price as he can get [ for them. Ilarily Mountaineers. There is in Denver a peculiar class | of men. They are essentially men of the mountains. They may have their weaknesses, but cowardice is never one of them.

HOUSEHOLD AFFAIRS. now TO WASH FLAXNETjS. Flannels should always bo washed by themselves in a suds prepared for them; on no account be rubbed on the board, unless very dirty. The suds should be pleasantly warm to the hands, not too hot, and no hot or cold water be added while the flannels are in the tub. They should be rinsed in cleau water of the same tempera ture as the washing suds, and as many waters used as may be necessary to take nil the soap out, as the flannels will never be soft with the soap left in them. They should never be blued. They should be pulled in shape before hanging, undershirts being hung from the shoulders. They should never lie hung out of doors in freezing weather, but quickly dried before the fire, or, better, over the register, and pressed as soon as dry enough.—New York Advertiser. ICING WITHOUT EGGS. A recent newspaper article called at tention to an excellent recipe for mak ing icing without eggs. It is a con venient thing to know at this time of the year when we are entering upon the days of scarce anil expensive eggs. The recipe in question directs the stir ring of confectionary sugar—not merely pulverized—into orange juice. A still better way of making eggless icing is the following, which has been in use in some households for a long time, and has entirely superseded the usual method: Put over a bright fire u cup of grauulated sugar to a quarter cup of water. Shake together first, l»ut do not stir oneo after they have been set on the stove. When it drops into a soft ball in water take off and set on the ice or in a dish of cold water. When it has partially cooled begin to stir with a fork. It will be come a creamy pliable mass, if all is well, that after flavoring is added can be spread at once on the cake. If it should harden too much, or be at all rough, add more water and cook it over. The final result is perfection for icing or for hard pudding sauce.— New York World. Alf HANGING CUT FLOWERS. With very few exceptions, every flower looks best when arranged with the foliage Dame Nature bestows upon it. Flowers should not be crowded. Each one should have a fair chance, therefore do not use a dozen flowers when six would look far better. Buds and foliage are as important in flower arrangementsasthe flowers themselves. Dame Nature always arranges her flowers in this manner, and we cannot do better than to copy her as nearly as we can. Different flowers need different surroundings. Tall flowers like gladiolus, lilies, dahlias, chrysanthe mums, need large, tall vases, while sweet peas, nasturtiums, pausies and other short-stemmed flowers need low vases, bowls or bftskets. In whatever we arrange our floWers, let it be sec ondary to the flowers themselves, ft should not be highly colored, so as to "kill" the coloring of the flowers, or so elaborate as to draw attention from them. We are not compelled, as in former years, to put our flowers in the regu lation vase, says Good Housekeeping, or use a glass preserve dish. There are many beautiful receptacles for flowers, American cut glass, cut into innumerable facets, reflecting myriad rainbows of colors; ju bowls, baskets, and dishes of various forms. There are bowls and jugs of crystalline white, amber color, delicate yellow, turquoise blue, apple green anil a thousand and one conceits of various kinds. Cut flowers should betaken from the vases each morning and a bit of the stems cut off, all decaying leaves and flowers taken out, and replaced in fresh water. Soft water is better than hard; if the latter is used, a few drops, of ammonia may be added. Thecooler the flower* are kept the longer they will last. In the winter, when flowers are scarce, it is a good plan to take cut flowers from the vases at night and place tliem in a washbowl, keep ing the flowers above water. Put them in the cellar, or a cool room where they will not chill. They will freshen up and keep much longer than if left all night in a hot room. Never leave flowers at. night in a sick room. It is hurtful for the sick person and the flowers.—Farm, Field and Fireside. KKI II'KS.

"I used to buy shoes of the best quality," said a young woman, "but now I buy shoes at just half the price that I formerly paid and get twice as many pairs. The result is that they are always fresh and fresh looking. Of course the quality isn't so nice, but 1 think the lack in quality is mere than made up by the increase in daintiness." Near Mudison Square, New York City, in a side street, there may be fouml a "Millinery Institute" in which young women are instructed in the magic art of making §ls and $ - 20 hats out of a dollar and eleven cents' worth of material. This should be a valua ble tip for young married women and others of the fair sex who would prac tice economy. Mrs. Sallie Walsh Johuson, who died a few days ago in Washington, was the daughter of the late Governor Wilson Shannon, of Kansas, and a famous beauty.

Among the stitched serge, cloth and camel's hair hats, that with Tain crown and rolled, stitched brim, is the pretti est. The crown is lifted slightly by a quill or two, pointing forward. This hat was added to the small variety of traveling hats last spring by one or two houses, but, together with the stitched turban, has waited until autumu for a more general introduc tion. The revival of the overskirts is creat ing some attention in the fashion ivorld. They are being made to fall in loug points, nearly covering the skirt beneath, one point extending down the front and another each side of the back. Skirts without overskirts will, however, still remain in favor, and are being worn plain at the front and sides, with all the fullness at the back.

The Ntandard of value throughout all the territories of the company is still —as for ceu turies past—the skin of the beaver, by which the price of all other furs is regulated. Any service rendered by the Indian is paid for in skins, the beaver skiu being the unit of compu tation. To explain this system, let it be assumed that four beavers are equivalent in value to a silver fox skiu, two martens to a beaver, twenty muskrats to a marten, and so on. An Inilian wishing to purchase a blanket or gun from the company would K've say three silver foxes or twenty beaver skins, or 200 muskrats, or other furs, according to their proper relative po sitions of worth in the tarifl". For a very evident reason the trap per price paid for furs is not fixed in strict accordance with their intrinsic value; if this were so all the valuable fur-bearing animals would soon become extinct, as no Indian would bother to trap a cheap fur while a high-priced on* remained uncaught. He may pos sibly have to pay five silver fox skins for blankets worth about the value of th , skins paid representing S2OO, still he can if he chooses buy the same article by paving for it in musk rat, yellow fox, or other furs of in ferior worth. —Chicago Times.

I am to-day stout, hearty and strong and enjoy the best of health. August Flower saved my life and gave me my health. Mrs. Sarah I Cox. Defiance. O. N Y N I - I? , J with ra*te«.
