'the cow cr sirci Hn <hiHld b&vo l s< u umrr explicit J>- g fence* are a great nuiaattct i m, and it M’ema to me that e post aru! tail fcreo wont go ,-;h. When tbeoaithqnake hap boat two ego ail of ni) tinning east and west, jumped fv a- throw the corners sway &ud leu? i.•.Mht of tha tp rails on th* tops of the e”*ke>, aad many were thrown oft. 1.-it this w:-s not as ordinary kind of jumping fonco. Thosa who are troubled with tins common kind might try the h.usf akne plan. *\Vhat is the best fence? I have long sought to Gp r this out and hare tried the old-faabionsi worm fence, staked, doubled stsked and ridered;the post and hoard ietce, and the post and rail feaeo, with morticed posts and rails flattened and pfirtUd at the end. 1 have some miles ot fence cn iuy farm and have emstant trouble with the fences, all but abcut half a mile of solid post and rail fence, made cf chestnut posts iu.d five tails to cash panel. The rails are ten feet long This fence stands firmly; the heaviest winds do not move it"; no cattle or hows try to jump it, it being five feet high, and from foimer experience, dat iug back thirty years, I know such a fence wiil last as long as this, if propt erly made, it is cheap. The posts are split tapplings about ten years old andei'ht inches on the split taco. Tbe hales are bored with a boring machine and 2 inch augur, two hol*s bring made five inches apart from cuter edg ea and the wood Ictween theta is cut oat with a post ax having a blade two inches wide; Two men will hole 100 posts a day and will set up tha 100 panels of fence in three days, costing thus seven cents a panel for setting' the fence. And -when it is set, it is set for years without need for repair or almost daily watching and putting up, as with the common rail tones. The be A thing to do with jumping and breacky animals is to have good fences!, so that when they are youDg the animals will learn to jump or throw down fences. Bid fences make breacky and umu'y stock. Truth iu a Nutshell.—The farmer who raises 000 baa of cotton and plen ty of provisions is mors to be envied than tuo ms* who gathers a bundled biles of cotton r . nd has to pay out a bundled and one for his supplies. From tha abovs contains more truth to tha line than nine-tenths of the statemecta o-f ne wspapra. It is the wbe;o secret cf successful farmig, si ml is neatly put in a few words. The farmer who is indifferent to tbe price ol corn and meat is the man who r.iisaa his eupply st home, and the larger who has his smoko house and corn eiib ia the wast Gan always be known by the interest which he maci f -ts in the price of supplies. This is not all. Within the last decade there has not been f t ve good, average farm tr< in this state, to lose money farm i: g who raised all their supplies at ho.ue. Not ene in the state who dees this has been, or will ever bo, closed cut by mortgage contracted for the ex penses of the farsa. The sooner the larnurs of the South realize this the l etter it will be for them. The me* that have succeeded ia the fattening of hogs for the last two or three years without less hom disease, r-ay? 3n exchange, have found the bust J s v t .)y mti>factory, and the prices >r the last W months hare ben so i'od, that the lug feeder can not but eel happy. i fie Toils, iu Ancient Egypt. A few worls may bo said about the dress of the ladies in ancient Egypt. They worn a gewu or brightly colored and pnttein.'U stuff secuied by a *a*h at the waist or by a belt over the ’.houlderK, Above Ibis was a laige, loose roho ot fine linen, with full elcev es, tastoned in front below ilio brasst. idhe sandals wtro usually pointed and turned up at the toe, and peopla ot po sitiou were Tery par.icnlav about them. Tbe bair was worn loig or plat ed in the triple plait, the ends being tied by a string or the same color as the hair. The back hair iu plaits reached to tbe bottom ot tbe shoulder blades. while the plaits at tbe side tell down to the breast. OrnamanUl bands were fastened over head, and toaia times combs were worn. The short hair at the side ot the tac* was inter woven with some ot tha longer hair and made to tall in a little curl just in front ot the ear ring. The ear lings usually worn were largo hoops of gold ot a diameter ot from one to nearly three inches, but one in the shape of a dragon has been found. Rings were generally worn on the lett band, and particularly on the third finger; they were ©t gold, and were some times set with engraved gems. Ankles and baa gles were also worn, and bracelets set with precious stones; also necklaces ot many devices, usually with a large drop ornament in tha center. The ap pliances ot the toilet used by a lady were numerous and included a black powder tor staining the eyelids and eyebrows—antimony or black oxide of manganese bein; generally used, though tha black powJor or burnt al monds seems a more harmless materi al than these metallic products, la Egyptian paintings the eye is often re presented as much eloaogated, and piobably this appearance was produc ed.by painting. A bodkin was used tor applying the black powder, or kohl, and very elegant little boxes with various compartments were devis ed to contain it. Some large gold headed pins have been discovered, which seem to have been used to stick into the hair, much after the modern tashiou. In order to eubance the beau ty of the fingernails the pink portion ot them was stained with henna which made the white-semi-circla at the root ot the Rails stand out more clearly by contrast. Mirrors were made ot metal and so highly polished that thsy were perfectly adapted .tor tbo puspose; they were round, and were im erted in a handle of some pretty or quatarde sign. Some times the head cf pome hideous monster formed part of the handle, the nutror thus suggesting.the ides ot Beady and the Beast, and the ugly bead serving as a toil to the love liness refloated in the bright surface above. The ladies were fond >f bath ing, using both the hot and cold bath, but ordisarily preferring the latter. Bits of Wisdom:—Fortunes ate mado by taking opportunities; charac ter is made by making it.. The want ol a thing makes the val ae of it. . Tho devil sympathizes with all tem perance that have no guns. Its a wise man that knows his own want. You ean not reason with an angry man. Passion silences the veice o* his judgment. Iu the long run, moral forces are the practical forces of politics. Hair Neglected Soon becomes dry, harsh, coarse, and full ot dandruff; it fo3os vitality and turns prematurely gray, or falls out rap idly and threatens early baldness. A careful dressing daily with Ayer’s Hnlr Vigor—the host preparation for the pur jiose xvill preserve the hair in all its luxuriance and beauty to a good old age. “Mv bair was faded and dry.” writes Maboi ('. Hardy, of Delaware, 111., “but after using only half a bottle of Ayer’s Hair Vigor if. became black and glossy. 1 cannot express the gratitude I feel.'’ Frederick P. Cogger,hall. Bookseller, f.l Merrimack St.f Lowell, Mass., writes: “Some six or seven years ago my wife ■ bad a severe illness, in consequence of which she became almost entirely bald and was compelled to wear a wig. A few months since she began to apply Ayer’s Hair Vigor to the scalp, and, after, using three bottles, lias a good growth of uair started all over her head. The hair is now from two to four inches long, and growing freely. The result is a most gratifying proof ot the merit of your admirable preparation.” * Ayer’s Hair Vigor, Prepared by Dr.-T. C.
