Cleaning Horses.
Few farm horsex nro cleaned nud eared
for as they should he, says the Livc-Sto k
Journal. ' Many neve r feel a curry-comb
or brush, unless it bo to remove manure
n lhoring to the hips and sides from lying
down. Then the merest superficial cur
rying and brushing follows. If a gen-
crnl currying is resorted to, it is seldom
thorough and the comb is harshly applied
to the stomach and legs in a way that is
very disagreeable to a horse. No matter
how hard the liorso has been ot work in
the field, ho must stand in his sweaty
and dust-filled coat, and sleep in it ns
well. The best thing he gets is n roll on
the ground, which ho is almost sure to
tnko if ho enu get n chance, llo stands
nil winter in n cold stable, his hair gets
long aud shaggy, giving him a forlorn
and neglected look, and ns soon ns warm
weather comos this hair begins to loosen,
producing intense itching. If the cur
rycomb is applied it is only to remove the
loosened hairs that appear on the sur
face and ndhero to everything they touch.
Such treatment is not humane nor com
mendable. It is not oven even able.
The horse is entitled ton thorough denn
ing after working in the sweat and dust
or being driven through the mud. Such
cleaning n it only adds to the comfort
of the horse, or rather saves him from
discomfort, but it is valuable as n picro
of economy, for it will do more good
than an extra feed of oats.
Kinking Rennet nml l’ens.
Much unnecessary trouble is often gone
to in this direction, writes n correspond
ent of tho Guillen: at any rate, such is
my impre-sion, mid experience confirms
it. 1 will not go eo far ns to sny that
half of the beans and peas grown in gar
dens would do equally well without
staking, but 1 am fully convinced that a
large proportion would succeed without
that attention. I am rot now speaking |
of what are recognized as dwarf varie
ties, but of such as grow to an average
height when staked. A good deal de
pends on whether the season is wet or
dry, and especially the situation and
character of the land upon which the
crop is grown. Here both soil and sub
soil arc c mparatlvely porous; therefore
they do not long retain moisture, nnd tho
situation is high. 'I lie conclusion I have
coma to is, shortly, that for tho earlier
peas, which maybe expected to grow,
say, a yard in height, it is decidedly be t
to use stakes, but that for tho later crops,
cxcopt such as grow to a gro it height,
tlicir use is unnecessary. In early spring,
whon the soil is cold and moist, it is per
fectly reasonable that the young plants
will grow to greater perfection when
supported and, to some extent, sheltered
by stakes, but as tho season advances they
do equally well without any attempt at
staking. A day or two sinco I lmd occa
sion to be among somo pens which were
grown without stakes, nnd they wero
certainly more fruitful than others grow
ing in a similar situation, but held up
to bleach by sun and wind. With a
succulent vegetable like a pea I take it
ibis bleaching and drying process is lu t
the thing to avoid, nnd it can be avoided
by allowing the crop to mature under
the protection of its foli ge and in prox
imity 11 the s >il. The same thing applies
to runner beans. I nch year 1 stnko a
portion and leave a portion to grow on
without stakes, and with no attention
except occasionally pinching back 'lie.
runners. I ast season I was especially |
successful in this treatment,nnd although
it is too early tit's year to speak positively,
present conn orison is greatly in favor of
beans without stakes. So sat - ns I nm
personally concerned, except for tho
earliest planting of pons, I • should not
hesitate to plant as many of either vege
table ns was likely to bo required, nnd
grow them on without the aid of stakes.
There is n greater secret in their produc
tion than stakes. These we can success
fully dispense with,but manure to enrich
the roil we cannot. 'Whon stakes are
used, ha el is probably tho best wood for
the purpose—at any late it is tho most
popular. There is no need, however, to
ho confined to this. Tho wood from
hedges of several years’growth will often
make good staking wood. I do not mean
white or blnck thorn, or spiny wood of
that class, ns they would I c very ob cct-
ionnblc to handle, but such as elm, maple,
and oilier thornless woods which arc fre
quently found in hedgos. Tho wood
should, of course, always bo cut wltcn

the dead foliage upon them is both awk

by cutting off the small branches upon
which the leaves grow, but it is nevor
satisfactory.

Tho old fashioned dasher churn is a

It has for some years been known that
trichina not only infest hogs, hut rat- as
well, nnd ns hogs often cat rnls it has
been suggested that from them most of
the trichinosis in hogs has come. Recent
investigations in Europe confirm this sug
gestion. and give evidence that trichino
sis is due entirely to rats. A commilt o I
of \ iennn physicians found in Moravia i
thirty seven per cent, of rats contained I
trichinosis; in \ iennn nnd its environs,
ten per cent, nnd in Lower Austria about
four per cent. The well-known voracity
of tlio ling and its 8|.ccinl fondness for
meat cause it to feed upon tho tlcsli nnd
excrements of other nnimaU infested
with these parasites, nnd especially rats.
Tho practical application of tlic results of
this invcticratioii is to destroy all rats,
and to cxcrciso especial caution about
the careless storage of grain nnd the ac
cumulation of litter about hog pens.

Tlio Use of Tapestry.
One of tlic most exq lisito examples
possible of tbo entirely new idea (or
rather resurrected idea) of covering the
entire walls of rooms with silk nnd simi
lar material has the four walls and ceil
ing of the room in question covered with
rich Louis Seize tapestry, very light and
delicate, almost salmon pink and fluted
aud gathered so as to make friezes and
cornices of the same material. The doors
and windows are curtained with the
same material ami the furniture is up
holstered with it. All the furniture is
dainty nnd of white wood. Another
mom is sitnilinrly done in pink nnd
amber brocaded satin. A young jnnn
who has lately married, having obtained
a dispensation to keep up some of his
bachelor tastes, has iiiaclo a new nnd
original departure in domestic arrange-
incuts, by making the smoking-room the
most prominent and striking npnrtmcnt
in his new house. Tho first room upon
entering is the dining hall, which lias
curious Arabian hangings. Hack of it
is tho smokintr-room, which is thorough
ly Oriental, with curiously mtrkcd cur
tains from Afghanistan, with knotted
edges, a genuine Persian embroidered
divan, walls in guilt iclitf, and even a
meslirccheah or lntiec window, such as
they have in the harems. Hack of tlio
smoking-room is the parlor, which lias
I three sets of rose velour curtains, all
alike, and a sort of gold nnd ivory trans
parent stuff draping the windows.
Great artistic taste must be exercised
in tin arrangement of so much richly
colored stuff. The same rules governing
needle-work may obtain.
A general effect may ho made by throw
ing down the si.ks upon the ground,
when a trained eye will quickly discern
tne proper tints and tlio proportionate
qua! iti -s to use. An absolute rule is that
no harsh transactions must he made; hut
if it he necessary to pnss from ono color
to another which conflicts whon placed
side by side it can be dono by somo re
lating tint, ns has been described. In
needlework it is easy to do this because
of tlio enormous variety of shades in
silks and worsteds. Tlio Japanese method
is laid down as a good one. They work
the silks iu one color, or lay them ou
the surface, and then with related hues
work them up to a harmonious whole.
Another law is that when two portions
of the same or nearly related hues arc
placed at a distance from each other
with neutral tints between, both become
intensified and appear brighter than they
did before, Thus in working out a du-
sign in harmony there must he no de
tached single hits of color. They must
he led up to by broken tints, or there
must he other patches of the same coloi
near enough to he taken in by the eye at
the same time. This will enrich both.
Graduated tones of the same color nro
always pleasing. This is properly called
the antilogy of color. A good example
of this is given in tho treatment of
orungo-browii with broken tones of gold
or broken yellow, even up to butter
color. In Chinese embroideries wo often
see dating effects produced by working
on a ground of imperial yellow. It is
necessary in using such a ground, how
ever, to work through yellows in broken
tints only to tho most delicate of blues,
reds nnd greens. The ground is thus
treated as tho Chinese treat it, and tlio
colors worked down from that to broken
tints containing but a small proportion
of yellow.
The Un ads.
Tho care of the hanl Is is an all-iinpor-
tnnt part of a lady’s to ilct. To keep the
skin smooth nnd whitj \ tho nails tinted
nnd filed, with the hn If-moon visible at
tho base, requires cons taut attention.
A noted actress, trai cling on her beau
ty, lias a professional '.manicure dress her
hands each evening. Society women
spend much time polluting their nails;
busy women can only follow slowly and
snatch a moment each day, to keep them
in presentable opipcnronoc nnd endeavor
to rctnin as long iis possible tho beauties
nature has given .her. For apiopcrcnco
of the hands a manicure set is absolutely
necessary, and can now be easily ob
tained at rensonnbjlo cost.
A few hints for its use, our lady read
ers may appreciate. Soft, warm water is
tlio best to use for -washing the Hands; n
little borax dissolved in it whitens nnd
softens tho skin. A most important
thin
ing is to properly dry the hands after
ward; if this is not- done it. reddens nnd
chafes them. "With the curved, pointed
ivory push hack tlio skin from around
the nails, and file them until they do not
extend beyond the fleshy ends <*f tho
lingers, giving each nail a rounded,
slightly pointed edge. Then use the fine
powder and shammy polisher, Tubbing
them to a satiny pink tint.
A woman’s linger nails nro just
much pearls as her tc-etli, and should ho
as prized and enrefully attended to; her
hand has n great ijhare in expressing her
thoughts nml feelings. Us use and qual
ities are an open index to her whole
character.

It is said that the best mode of using
sulphur about plants, in order to destroy
insects, is to sprinkle it on the ground
during a warm day, when it will prove
beneficial without injuring the plants.
Hr. Fisher tells that animal manure
makes strong grnpovines, but not much
fruit, and tends to induce rot aud mil
dew. On the other hand ho finds potn-h
nnd superphosphate to hove quite tho
opposite effect, producing a large amount
of fruit of superior quality.
The advantages of grafting (lie grape
vine arc: 1. Tho facility with which
new and rare varieties may be rapidly in
creased by grafting on old cut, strong
and healthy vines. 2. The short time in
which fruit can be obtained of-new va
rieties. fi. The fucility by xvliich vines
bearing worthless fruit can he changed
into valuable hearing vines; and, 4, the
fact that varieties that do not grow
readily from cuttings enn generally be
grafted easily.
The frequent rains and excessive heat
will cause poultry yards to be in a very
unhealthy condition unless-the surface
soil is spaded or turned in some manner,
especially on heavy clay locations. If
spading is too laborious, then the yards
may be benefited by sprinkling them
with a solution of copperas or blucstonc,
dissolving one pound of the mineral in
two gallons of water, unit sprinkling
through the nose of an ordinary xvnter-
ing pot. A f w spoonfuls of carbolic
acid in the solution xvill bo of advantage.
Every living active part of a plant
contains a certain amount of water.
From many juicy parts ninety per cent,
of water can be expelled by drying;
many green leaves hold from seventy-
live to eighty, while from seeds which
we call ‘-dry” it is sometimes possib'e to
drive out ten per cent. Part of this water
is so intimately combined xvith the plant
stiueture that, if it is once expelled, it
cannot again be taken up in such a man
ner as to restore tho plant to its former
condition.

Procrastination is not tho only thief oi
time, nor tlio pickpockets and burglar!
the. only thieves of timers. I heard yes
terday of a Milwaukee woman's novel
experience with a watch. Seven years
ago, while she was in New York City,
her watch Buffered from internal de
rangement, and she took it to a watch
maker's for repairs. On her return to
Milwaukee from Gotham, the tiinepicco
became so vagarious in its movements
that she became disgusted with it anil
tossed it into tlic drawer of a dro-ser,
where it remained until last week, when
a sudden whim of tho owner again sent
the watch to a jeweler for inspection.
Then it wns discovered that the New
York watchmaker had removed not only
the ewols I ut lisd substituted for tlic
wheels ‘‘odds nnd ends” of watch econ
omy that wer - probably folccted from his
pile of disc-aide 1 material, for no two
wheels were alike in their construction.
It was a bold theft, md from this timo
forward no jeweler cau lay his hand on
his heart and tell that .Milwaukee woman
that “There’s tricks in nil trades but
ours,” and expect to bo believed.—Mil

Art in tho Household.
The very latest of fashionable fancies
in furniture nnd decoration, says an
authority, is what is called tlio Colonial
craze. ' It necessarily embraces somo of
tlio features of the Renaissance, but it
derives its suggestions primarily from tho
domestic fashions of tho George’s reigns,
it lacks tlio color and luxuriance nnd
elaboration of tlic French styles, discards
tho gorgeousness aud freedom of tlic
Oriental, and gives special prominence
to the two ideas of lightness anu grace.
In it tlio ell-aperies tire generally of lighter
texture; what little upholstery there is is
lighter iu color, with a touch of pretti-
ness and a Holly Vnrden tendency, and
the chairs, tallies and other articles of
furn-tmc arc lightly made, with lots of
Bpokes and open-work. N\ kite and gilt
are greatly used, though mahogany and
cheery and the darker woods arc used in
preference to asli znd the similar light
woods that have been so long in vogue.
It involves the use of most enpensive
materials iu small quantities in upholster
ing, and reminds ono of the Chicago indy
who, finding that her social rival had
outdone her in a new dress of nn expen
sive pattern, invited the rival and all hot-
set to a reception whore all tlic furniture
had been upholstered in exactly the same
material. It is a very queer and curious
thin" that just as plush lias gone out of
fashion for upholstery, ladies are going
to wear plush dresses, and that tlic ma
terials in most popular favor tor coveting
chairs and for portieres are the painted
and brocaded silks and velours, -which
wero high style for evening dross a year
or two ago. This season, then, the
most fashionable women will wear what
they have been upholstering their clians
with, and cover their chairs with mater
ial similar to their old hall room dresses.

Pretty Girls.
It has been rather broadly suggested
that pretty girls cause most of tlio trou
hie in the world. Of course the greatest
of all evils on this mundane sphere is
money, but pretty girls stand second
best.
It seems odd how imirh of tlieeo great
evils an ordinary man imagines lie can
take care of. Like champagne, lie xvi"
never acknowledge lie has too much for
ids own good.
Young men in society nrn wnirned 1>v
careful sister that, such and such pretty
girl is to he avoided, ns likely to pn-ov
dangerous to ids penco of mind. T '
they ever heed? Never. That
pretty girl’s favor they most nssidatotisly
seek. Then when site breaks his suscep
tible heart, she is loudly denounced.
She alone is to blame. Of coutrso she is.
The si-ter warned him, lie could not re
sist iter fascination, consequently she is
to blame for being charming.
It cannot ho denied that pifotty girls
have been involved in nearly wvery trag
edy and scandal of history. Tlmt won
derful wooden-horno would never have
been built, lmd not Helen of Troy been
beautiful. Juliet Onpulot wns wondrous
handsome or her neighbor’s boy. Romeo,
would not have clindied the garden wall.
Cleopatra must lituvo been “perfectly
lovely,” for tlio photographs of her are
so, and most of them were taken whon
she was not feeling wetJ, having been bit
ten by that poisonous nap.
Homely women are fortunately not
called upon to participate in these unfor
tunate affairs. It is peculiar, however,
that men prefer to full in love, fight and
die for pretty girls, nnd it is just as
much a fact as it is peculiar that girls
prefer to he pretty and run tlic risk of
tlicso fntalitics.

The Fly as a Furlfler.
Of what uso is this troublesome cos-
tomci? Tlio fly does his part in the
great and important work of purifica
tion, seeing with his ten thousand eyes
things that would pass unnoticed by us,
eagerly devouring his appropriate lood.
This he finds in the smallest atoms of
animal and vegetable matter, too small
to he noticed by the tidy housekeeper?,
which otherwise would be permitted to
putrefy, contaminating the air. We may
tmagino that lie circles nbout iu the air
with no definite object in view, but if
we will carefully watch him we shall lie
convinced that he lias an object, collect
ing his food, atoms of impure or decay
ing matter which otherwise xvould enter
our-lungs, adding to the impurity of out-
blood. This tilth is collected on his
wings and head, for as we see him light
he scrapes his wings nud his head with
his legs and feet, passing the gathered
morsels from foot to foot, the front pair
passing his dinner to his mouth. Tho
tiy also teaches us the value of sunlight,
not only to cheer but to purify tho air,
for he has too good sense to live in a
dark room. When tho parlor is dark
