‘ ‘ Oh, yes. They are the country girls.
You smile, because you think of large,
coarse, red hands, smelling of butter and
milk The girls do have a refreshing
look, and smell of the country, and I’d
rather wait on one hundred of them,
saturated as they are with nature's per
fumes, than on one society woman washed
in lily of the valley. Honest, I would.
Country girls hands are small and white

It ia a fact. There'* a funny thing aliout
them, too. Their hands are always
■hapeiy and easily fitted with gloves. As
a usual thing they want plain, bright
colors, such as tan, yellow, blue or
green: the brighter the better for them.
The society girl wants something re

•ashes of rosea,' ‘ wood tints,’ • moon

have a glove to match every one of their

Hartford'* .Jenny Wrens.
Everybody who has read Dickens needs
but the mention of the name of Jenny
Wren to bring up the picture of that
truthful little lady, who stabbed with her
needlo at the stow schoolmaster as he
talked to Lizzie Hexnm, who beamed on
Bloppy, and sat in the bower of her won
derful hair at the foot of the bed of the
gallant Eugene as ho lay dead to all out
ward things near the old mill. But
Jenny Wren was not devoted to senti
ment entirely, and perhaps the descrip
tion which will last longest is of her as
she stands peering through the rain from
under the hood of a policeman's cloak
and making the fine ladies passing in or
out of the ballroom ‘‘cut, fit, and try on,
and take plenty of time about it, too,"
for her dolls.
Probably very few people in Hartford
kuew that there has been room found in
a city so small as this for two genuine
Jenny Wrens, who all day loug make
the well-dressed ladies ‘‘cut, fit, and try
on and take plenty of time about it. too,"
for the dolis that aro to bo drossed in the
prevailing style. It may detract from the
sentimental view of the case to suy that
these two dressmakers for babies’ babies
are not deformed, but energetic Ameri
can girls of the usual type. But their
work is precisely of the Jenny Wren sort.
All day long they are fashioning
the daintiest of dainty garments for
dolls. . Doll* of all nationalities and of
all varieties of color are dressed with the
most minute attention to detail, and
though one could merely hazard a gtiosa
when the Jenny Wrena begin whether
tho doll ia to come out a Princess or a
servant girl, that perhaps is as much
aa anybody could venture after the
casual examination of an unclothed baby
of unkuown parentage. Perhaps the
last statement will bear shading. For
thero arc degrees even in undressed dol'a,
and a doll with a wax head and perfect
complexion has undoubted initial advan
tage over one with a china head.
But a doll's bend is not half so im
portant as what is on its body, and it is
wonderful to see how completely the big
and little dolls arc made to copy the full
grown and elaborately dressed Indies
who pass down Main street, conscious of
masculine and feminine admiration, but
never dreaming that they are being made
to “cut, fit, and try on, and take nleuty
of time about it. too."
The Jenny Wrens are very busy at
holiday time, and the Christmas trees in
the houses of rich people all over the
city nre hung with their dainty work on
the morning of Christmas Day. Dolls
that can be dnsrod and undressed ad
lib., and whose every article of cloth
ing, to the very tiniest, is as elaborately
worked at the trousseau of a bride, may
well fill the child heart with joy. I
And where do the Jenny Wrens live!
That is known to the many for whom the
dolls are dressed. It is in a great Main
street block, where there ia every oppor- i
tunity for cutting, fitting, and making
try on, and take plenty of time about it,

■cabby Potatoes.
This year in many places potatoes are
more scabby than ever before, while ia
the same neighborhoods other farmers
have succeeded in growing good crop* of
fair tubers. It would seem that the prob
lem as to what cause* scabbinesa might
be solved under these conditions. Many
farmtrs feel quite certain that worms
cause the injury, as they are usually, if
not always, found connected with it.
Hut this may be rather an effect than a
cause. Too much fresh manure, coupled
with dry weather, will away* produce
scabbinesa. Manure drying in the toil
breeds fungus growths. These attack
the potato and destroy the skin. The
worms come after when the interior of
the potato is exposed to them. Of them
selves they cannot penetrate the akin. If
worms caused the scab we should And
potatoes sometimes in which they were
just beginning work. We do in dry
weather sometimes find potatoes slightly
mou'dy. If these are dug and put in
close heaps the mould soon develops into
rot. If it is mould that causes the scab
on potatoes some preparation of sulphur
ought to be a cure. This is corroborated
by the experience of Borne farmers, who
iinve found a tenspoonfui of superphos
phate of lime planted with the jiotatoes
prevented acabbiiiesa. In this case it was
piobahly the excess of sulphuric acid in
dissolving the bone that destroyed the
fungus. Now the question it whethei
land plaster which is the sulphate of
lime planted in the hill with potatoes,
will have the same effect. Who has tried
this? if land plaster will do the busi
ness it is certainly cheaper than super

How Snowoheds are Built
Snowsheds to cover the railway track
have been built at points on the Central
Pacific road, where it crosses the Sierra.
As the trains bound east leave Emigrant
Gap they run through one continuous
shed for thirty-five miles. The purpose
of the sheds is to prevent the track being
buried under falling and drifting snow.
They secure this end, but are theuiselv-js
the occasion of great inconvenience, am:h
is the noise, the loss of view, and the
coniiuing of the smoke to the train.
There is nothing peculiur in the con
struction of these sheds, which have to
support only the burden of the snow.
But on the liue of the Canadian Pacific,
where the road crosses the Hocky
Mountains, sheds of a different construc
tion are needed. Before the road wrs
completed, observations ia the moun
tains showed that avalanches must be
provided against. A single avalanche
covered the track for a distance of 1,800
feet and to the depth of fifty feet. The
result of these observatious was that the
company built four and one-half miles
of suowsheds at an euormous expense.
The sheds are constructed as follows:
On the high side of the mountain slope
s crib filled with stones is constructed.
Along the eutire length of the shed, and
on the opposite side of the track a tim
ber trestle is erected; strong timber
beams are laid from the top of the crib
work to the top of the trestle, four feet
(part, and at un angle representing the
slope of tho mountain os nearly as possi
ble. These are covered over with four
inch planking, and the beams are braced
on either side from the trestle and from
the crib. The coveriug is placed at
such a height as to give twenty-one feet
headway from the under side of the
beam to the centre of the track. The
longest of these sheds is 3,700 feet.
Phases of Mexican Justice.
Some time ago a Mexican was killed
by one of the trains on the Central Mex
ican railroad The engineer was an
/ mericau. He wits warned that although
the victim was drunk and was lying on
the track, and the engineer was in no
wise to be blamed, jet ho certainly
would be arrested and probably con
victed of manslaughter. The engineer
paid no attention to the warning. But
on the next trip be was arrested, thrown
into prison, and had been kept there
at the last accounts for nearly a year.
In this country he would have been
promptly acquitted of afl blame. But
in Mexico the legal presumption is that
when a Mexican is killed on a railroad
the engineer is to blame. This presump
tion has recently been modified by an
other decision made at Aguas Calientes.
In that case a Mexican was walking on
the railroad track, and was run over and
killed. The engineeraud trainmen were
arrested, in accordance with the prevail
ing theory that the men in such cases
were always to blame. But tho judge,
after hearing the case, discharged the
accused, affirming as a part of h ; s de
cision that “those ties were intended to
bear rails, and the rails are for the pass
age of trains. Now, if you will agree to
keep off the track, I will see to it that
the trains do not chase you about the
fields.” There is some good law as well
as homely wit in this decision.— Sat

A Scheme for Killing Rabbits.
Hue offer of • prize of £26,000 by the
Governments New South Wales to the

bit* whioh are devastating the colony
ha* attracted the attention of M. Pas
teur. He *ent a letter on the subject
to the Tempt, anggeeting ideas which he
think* may be of use. Hitherto mineral
poison has been employed to destroy
the animals, but they iporeased with
suoh frightful rapidity that poison has
proved a very insufficient means of
meeting the plague. What is wanted,
M. Pasteur suggests, is a poison en
dowed, like the animals themselves,
with life, and multiplying with similar
rapidity. An attempt should, he thinks,
be made to introduce * disease among
the rabbita whioh would beoome epi
demic. There is such a malady, known
as the hen cholera, whieh has been
oarefully studied in his laboratory. The
disease is common to poultry and rab
bits.
Among the experiments whioh he
made was the'following: He shut up
within a limited sndfe a number of hens.
He gave them fcnHSinted mi
crobe which ia tyT? cause of the hen
eholera, and in a sljbrt time all of them
Serished. Sometimes poultry yards are
evastated by epidemics of this kind,
whioh spread doubtless through the
tainting of food by the droppings of the
first siok fowls. The same thing he be
lieves would happen to rabbits, which,
returning to their burrows, would there
spread the disease. Nothing would be
more easy than to oommunieate the dis
ease to a few of the animals. Bound a
burrow M. Pasteur would place a mov
able fence, within whioh the rabbits
would ciroulate in search of food. Ex
periments have proved that it is easy to
multiply to any extent the microbes of
hen cholera in all kinds of flesh soups.
If the food of the rabbit were watered
with these liquids full of microbes, the
animals would catoh the disease snd
spread it everywhere. M. Pasteur adds
that the disease of whioh he speaks
does not attaok four-footed domestic
animals, and as fowls do not live in the
open country there would be no risk of
destroying thetp,

THE OUTGROWTH OF A VAST EXPERIENCE
_ The treatment of many thousands of caaes of those chronio weaknesses and distressing ailments peculiar to females, at the
Invalids Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y., has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapting and thoroughly testing
remedies for the cure of woman's peculiar maladies.
Dr. Pleree’e Favor.
Ilfifltt lte Prescription is the
... U ™ outgrowth, or result, of
Tn WnilFV this great and valuable
IU lluntil, experience. Thousands
“*■ of testimonials, received
from patients and from physicians who
have tested it in the more aggravated and
obstinate cases which had baffled their skill,
prove it to be the most wonderful remedy
ever devised for the relief and cure of suf
fering women. It Is not recommended as
a “ cure-all," but aa a most perfect Specillo
for woman’s peculiar diseases.
As a powerful, tn.
Bium-nmi *igoratiug tonic, it
POWERFUL imparts strength to the
” "*■ whole system, and to the
uterus, or womb and its
■ vatu. appendages, in carticu
lar. For overworked,
“worn-out,” "run-down," debilitated
teachers, milliners, dressmakers, seam
stresses, “shop-girls," housekeepers, nurs
ing mothers, and feeble women generally.
Dr. Pieroe's Favorite Prescription is tho
greatest earthly boon, being unequaled as
an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
It promotes digestion and assimilation of
food, cures nausea, weakness of stomach.
Indigestion, bloating and eructations of gas.
TREATING THE WRONG DISEASE.
Many times women call on their family physicians, suffering, as they imagine, one from dyspepsia, another from heart disease,
another from liver or kidney disease, another from nervous exhaustion, or prostration, another with pain here or there, and in this way
they all present alike to themselves and their easy-going and indifferent, or over-busy doctor, separate and distinct diseases, for which
he prescribes his pills and potions, assuming them to ne such, when, in reality, they are all only symptoms caused by some womb
disorder. The physician, ignorant of the cause of suffering, encourages his practice until large bills are made. The suffering
patient gets no better, but probably worse by reason of the delay, wrong treatment and consequent complications. A proper
medicine, like Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, directed to the cause, would have entirely removed the disease, thereby dis
pelling all those distressing symptoms, and instituting oomfort inutoad of prolonged misery.
Mre. E. P. Morgan, of Wo. 71 Lexington St -
PHVSiniIHS East Bouton. Maes, says: “Five years ago i
riUOnilM* was a dreadful sufferer from uterine troubles,
rill FH Having exhausted the skill of three physi
eians, I was completely discouraged, and so
weak I could with difficulty cross the room
alone. I began taking Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription and

months I was perfectly cured, and have had no trouble since. I
