TONCS OF INTF^tST IN THE HOMS
AND DOMESTIC CIRCLE.
“It*# Always •«.”
Arm** tha meadow with clover sweet.
1 wandered eue evening with weary feet.
For my heart was heavy with satold woe,
For everything seemed te go wrong, you know.
Twaa one of thoee days whose cares and strife
Dull* overshadowed the good In life,
Bo, lone and aad, ’nestb the twilight stars
1 wsndc.ed u*» to the pasturs bars.
Toths js*ture bars, Wtk the,hillside steep.
Where patiently waited a fleck of sheep
Fot ti e happy boy with whistle and shout
Who was even now coming to tufa them out.
«
“Good evening!" said hs with boyish grace.
And a smile lit np his handsome face,
lie let down the bars; then we both stepped
hack,
And eald, "Ton have more white sheep than
black."
"Why, yes," he replied, “and didn’t you know?
More white than black; why, ’tie always so.”
He passed on with his flock ronnd the bill;
But down on the pasture I lingered still,
Pondering well on the w rds of tha lari.
“ More white t’ -in black," more good than had,
More joy th -o sorrow, more bliss than woe;
"More white -..ao black," and “’tis always so."
And since that hour, when trouble* rife
Gather and th, *t*o to shroud my life —
<lr 1 se« some soul on the downward track—
1 cry there are n.ore white sheep than black.
And I lbank my liod that I learned u> know
'ihe blessed fuel Is al. ay* so.

Fashions for Children.
Wo are all aware h w pretty and at¬

two daintr l.ttlecreatures are very taste¬
fully and c.mimingly clad, the one on
the left wearing a combination dress of
figured white batiste and plain whit#
batiste. Tim skirt is made up on a
foundation of white silk and is lined with
muslin half way up. Tho waist, which
passes under the skirt, is closed with
hooks invalid# at tile back. There is a

double melting, as represented, at the
neck and yoke, and the sleeves are puffed
ut the wrist and aLo ornamented with
ruching. The litte lady on the right is
dressed in white crepe, the skirt be¬
ing made up on a silk foundation lined
with muslin. All tho edge of the ma¬
terial, which is cut on tho bias, is
trimmed with embroidojy sewed on tho
wrong side. The corsage is also trimmed
in the same manner, and there is a
bouffant sleeve over an ordinary one.
The eeinture must ho made np on stiff
material and have a rosette of ribbon.
Tite right hand figure of the tiny cou¬
ple represented in the other illustration

1'mIc* an Air Hath#
Every woman 1ms evil hours when slio
Ih too restless to keep still and too dull
and heavy to do anything. She says shs
is nervous. Her color loses its freshness,
her eyes their brightness, her expression
all its delicacy. She looks a coarser and
less intelligent individual. Now the lat¬
est remedy proposed for this distemper is
tlie air bath. Lock your doors if you
would test it the next time tho blues de¬
clare themselves, and disrobe entirely,
taking an air bath, in the sunshine If pos¬
sible, for five or ten minutes. This will
act as a total alterative to the oppressed,
restless state of the nervous system. It
does better than a water bath, which, if
one has already lx>en taken in the morn-
iug, can not be always repeated with per¬
fect safety, After the air bath dress
again slowly, donning completely fresh
linen and some crisp aud rather new
gown. Tlie freshness of external attire
is infallibly soothing.
Where Crinoline Wna Useful.
Mrs. Lucinda B. Crane, who died re¬
cently in Boston, received the medal of
the II umane Society a number of years ago
for rescuing from drowuiug a young son of
Professor Phelps, of Andover, aud an¬
other boy. They were overturned in a
boat near the shore at Nahant, in full
view of Mrs. Crane, who sprang into tho
water to save them. It was in tlie days
of full crinoliue, ami her outspread skirts
sustained Mrs. Crane, who could not
swim, and enabled her to support tlie
boys until other aid came. Mrs. Crano
was extremely patriotic and did much for
the aid aud equipment of troops during
the war.

Th# Census Bureau ha* issued a bulle¬
tin on the distribution of population in
accordance with altitude. It appears
that in the area below GOO feat is included
nearly all that part of the population
which is engaged in manufacturing and
in tii# foreign commerce of the country
and most of that engaged in the culture
of cotton, rice, and sugar. The interval
between 500 feet and 1,606 feet comprint*
the greater part of the prairie State#
and grain producing States of the North¬
west. East of the 98th meridian 1,500
feet is practically the upper limit of pop¬
ulation, all the country lying above that
rievation being mountainous. The pop¬
ulation between 2,000 and 6,000 feet is
found mainly on the slope of the great
"Western plains. Above 8,000 feet irriga¬
tion is almost universally necessary for
success in agricultural operations.
Between 4,000 and 5,000 feet, and more
mnkedly between 6,000 and 6,000 feet,
the population is decidedly in excess of
tlie grade or grad.es below it This is
mainly due to the fact that the densest
settlement at high altitudes In the Cor-
dilleran region is at tite eastern base of
the Rocky Mountains and in the valleys
about Great Salt Lake, which regions lie
between 4,000 and 6,000 feet. Of these
the extensive settlements at the base of
the mountains in Colorado are mainly be¬
tween 6,000 and 0,000 feet.
Above 6,000 feet the population, which
Is confined, of course, to the Cordilleran
region, is almost entirely engaged in tho
pursuit of mining, and the greater part
of it is located in Colorado, New Mexico,
Nevada, and California.
While the imputation is increasing nu¬
merically in all altitudes, its relative
movement is decidedly toward the region
of greater altitudes, and is most marked
between the country lying between 1,000
and 0,000 feet above the s*a.
The density of jmpulation is greatest
near sea level in that narrow strip along
the seaboard which contains our great
seaports. The density diminishes grad¬
ually and rather uniformly up to 2,000
feet, when the jxipulation becomes quite
Sparse.
The average elevation of the country,
excluding Alaska, is about 2,500 feet,
'i'lie averugo elovution at which the in¬
habitants lived, taking cognizance of
their distribution, was 687 feet in 1870;
In 1880 it had increased to 739 feet, and
in 1890 to 788 feet.
The Atmosphere and Mainsprings.
“Your mainspring i* broke," was th#
positive declaration of a jeweler to a
young man as he entered and walked up
to the counter, meanwhile probing for
his watch. The young man hadn’t said
a word, “llow did you guess it,” lie
asked, when he recovered from his
amazement. “Didn’t guess it; I knew
it, " was the jeweler’s reply. “That is, 1
could almost have sworn to it when I saw
you feeling for your watch. 1 guessed
then that something was the matter with
that article, ft«d, having guessed that, I
was ready to bet $35 to $1 that it was th#
mainspring that was broken. And I’ll
toll you why: There’s a certain time of
the year - and this happens to bo it this
year—when, if I have two or three per¬
sons come to mo with broken main-
springs, I can make Up my mind that
I’ll have 20 or 30 more of the same kind
of customers within a vory short time.
Now its just a week and a day ago that
a man came to have a job of this kind
done, and up to to-day I’ve had no less
than 20 mainsprings to put in. They
break voluntarily; atmospheric condi¬
tion has something to do with it. Now,
I'll put a new spring in your watch which
I guarantee for a year. It may last two
or three years, and, again, it may not
last two days, one day, or an hour. You
can’t tell; they’re liable to break any
time, no matter of how good quality
they are. I’ve had new springs break
right after 1 have put them in. "—Buffalo
Courier,
Moor Beth*.
The moor baths, of which much is now
heard, and which are provided at many
Austrian and German health resorts,
were first used at Frazsusbad. In 1823
Doctor Posohmann, a physician there,
believed that he had found in them a now
curative medium, and they have since
become popular. Some phywbians still
question their efficacy, while others in
Austria and Germany rely upon them to
render good service in many maladies.
Though tite bath is composed of peal
or moor earth to which enough water
has boon added to make a thick paste of
the mass, yet the peat is different from
that which is extracted from a bog in
Ireland and Scotland. Iu both Ireland
and Scotland the peat is used as fuel; at
Frazensbad tlie mineralized peat will not
serve such a purpose. Tlie bog from
which it is extracted has been saturated
throughout countless ages with mineral
water, and the product is a strong chem¬
ical compound. Thus a moor bath is a
mineral bath in a concentrated form, aud
effects are produced upon the system by
taking a course of these baths which can
not be produced, according to experts,
by any mineral water.
A Maine Tom Sawyer.
A disciple of Tom Sawyer lives on
Middle street; hois a professional gen¬
tleman, and his sign swings to the breeze
on Main street. Last week he noticed
the grass around his house needed cut¬
ting, so, investing in a scythe, he ap¬
proached tlie job and prepared to con¬
quer or die. In about three minutes his
back gave out, and he sat down to pon¬
der. Tom Sawyer and the whitewash
job came to his mind. “I’ll do it,” he
exclaimed, under his breath.* And from
that time onward lie sat there, and every
man or lx>y that came along was invited
to try his new scythe and “see how easy
it works." Inside of two hours, says the
Rockland Courier , the job was finished,
and our friend hadn’t removed his coat
tails from his easy perch. Brains nr#
what most people need; muscle doesn't
amount to much in the battle for su-
premacy.

Pnjne** Daughters.
In an old book written by a Western
Congressman, a contemporary of Web¬
ster and Clay, containing reminiscences
of Ids times, a story is told of one of his
friends, a farmer in Kentucky named
Payne, who had six daughters, none of
whom was blessed wuh beauty.
The Congressman knew them in their
homely youth, and when he returned a
few years later found them all married
to good, influential men. So great was
his surprise that he ventured to ask their
father why they all had been so soughs
when other girls remained neglected.
The old farmer chuckled.
“Yes, and you may say when they had
neither dower nor good hoiks. Well, I’ll
toll you. When I want my cattle to oat
buckwheat stubble instead of grass, t
don't drive them into that field ; 1 fence
it off from them! They are so contrary
that they always want the tiling they
can’t got. They break down the fence;
I drive them out aud put, it up. By tho

think they like the ktubble.

“ Tin's story was coarsely told, perhaps, ”
adds the narrator. “But there is more
in it than meets the eye. ”
He was rigid. Ev ry young girl wishes,
if it he God’s will, that she shall live a
woman’s full life as wife and mother;
that some mao who is worthy shall some
day seek her to make her his own.
The desire is natural and right. But if
she hopes for this, let her keep up the
fences.

village street, who runs to the shop or
postoffice where the men congregate, who
tries to coax them to her side, is only

Those of our readers who have no sys¬
tem of sewerage wdiere they live should
1x3 warned to be scrupulously careful
about the manner in which they dispose
of dish water, washing suds, and the

these, but distribute them at the roots of

never he allowed to stand. Throw them
away as soon as the washing is finished.
Above all things avoid a barrel sunk in
’lie ground as a means of drainage.
